Series: BLEACH
Name: Szayel Aporro Grantz
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight

Allegiance: Virtuoso


Appearance: His unusual medium-length salmon-pink hair and amber eyes distinguish him enough as it is from the other Espada. Szayel Aporro’s attire normally includes what looks like a zipped-up white track jacket, white Japanese hakama pants and sometimes an accompanying cape of the same color scheme. His pallid olive-colored skinned body is incredibly lanky and not especially muscular, demonstrating his personal preference for intellect over brawn. What remains of his bony hollow mask are a pair of rectangular white glasses. He’s covered from head-to-toe, as if attempting to shield himself from some sort of infectious pathogen. He wears white gloves and longer sleeves that extend past his wrist and provide a cut-out for his thumb to project through. Like other Arrancar, he has with him a zanpakuto named Fornicaras (symbol of his sealed form as an Arrancar) in a lavender scabbard that is suspended by a violet cable on the side of his hip.
Personality: Szayel Aporro is a complicated character at best, and at worst, a controlled sadistic sociopath. He prides himself on his own accomplishments and intellect. His intelligence indeed appears to surpass that of his peers, a fact which he enjoys greatly. His cunningness and observational skills allow him great control over lesser beings. He’s manipulative and often shrouds himself and his projects in complete secrecy. His intentions can be as cryptic as the problems he attempts to decipher, unless he chooses to share those intentions with you – often done in great detail, at the expense of the person they are shared with and with a great amount of sarcasm and polite condescension. His doctrine is rooted entirely in science and his insatiable pursuit of a fleeting status of perfection, always seeing room for improvement of himself. This translates into what could be seen as a milder form of the psychopathological Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, without many of the diagnosed disorder’s hindering effects and all the drive for perfection. His need for order and perfection can be seen in his extensive research as the resident spiritual weapon’s researcher for Hueco Mundo.

Particulars: Fighting against opponents, Szayel Aporro employs his analytical abilities extensively by applying technology to predict and counter his opponent’s spirit-based weapons. Without proper preparation, Szayel can find himself at a disadvantage, due to his admittedly limited melee capabilities; however, he is not to be taken lightly, by any means. If he is aware of someone, chances are he’s already researched them. This translates into Szayel Aporro possessing the ability to negate all undesired attacks from his opponents - in effect neutering them and leaving them helpless against his desires.

Arrancar abilities:


Sonído - This is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami flash steps and the Quincy hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances.

Hierro - It is the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which results from the compressed spiritual power. Stronger Arrancar have proportionally stronger skin.

Pesquisa - It is the equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense spiritual pressure. It functions similar to sonar.

Garganta - This method allows Arrancar to form passage ways to or from Hueco Mundo. It involves literally ripping through the dimensions that separate one world from another.

Caja Negación – It is a cube that when used on a subject, traps them in an alternate dimension from which there is no escape; however, this assumes it's being used as intended. More powerful Arrancar, namely the Espada themselves, can escape given enough time. It is only possessed by the Espada.

Cero - It is a high-powered energy blast that can be fired from various body parts, such as their mouth, tongue, hand or fingers.

Gran Rey Cero – It is an Espada-exclusive version of the cero attack which involves the use of the user's blood into the formation of the cero.

Bala - It serves as an Arrancar alternative to the cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Though weaker than a cero blast, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate.


Szayel’s Abilities


Fornicaras - Fornicaras is the name of Szayel’s resurrection. This is the form he takes when he calls out “Sip, Fornicaras” and swallows his zapakuto. His body swells and then eventually explodes, leaving him in a mist and his original form that gives him a mass of tentacles below himself and a pair of thin wings.


Gabriel - This ability is dependent on Szayel being in his resurrection state. If he is damaged beyond repair, he impregnates a suitable being and consumes them to death until he emerges back complete.


Voodoo Doll creation - This ability is dependent on Szayel being in his resurrection state. He captures his opponents and smothers them in his wings, giving him time to create a doll copy of them within the droplets of his wings. Once completed, the droplet breaks and the doll is freed. Szayel can use the doll to manipulate his opponent’s body in practically any way imaginable.


Doppelganger creation - This is dependent on Szayel being in his resurrection state. He can dispense large amounts of blood-like liquid from his back, which has the ability to create an almost identical clone of his opponent. Whenever a droplet touches an opponent it creates a single clone, but can create exponential clones if they are destroyed.



Canon History: His history in Las Noches is mostly a mystery. His canon story began, at its earliest, with a discussion between him and (then ranked eigth) Nnoitra Jiruga. Nnoitra sought aid from the notorious scientist – who may have been a Privaron at the time - in cowardly bringing down Neliel Oderschvank (the third-ranked Espada of that time). It is clear that Szayel Aporro rendered aid by designing a device that distracted Neliel’s long enough for Nnoitra to strike a blow at Neliel’s mask. Upon damaging her mask, Szayel Aporro noted that he had not anticipated the outcome of Neliel reverting to the state of a child. The event seemed to relate to his ascension towards becoming the Octava Espada, although it is only speculation at this juncture. Years after this event -- during the incursion into Las Noches by Kurosaki Ichigo and his friends – Szayel Aporro is next seen bowing before Aizen Sousuke and apologizing for the his misconduct of ordering the Exequias to retrieve the Privaron (Las Noches’ execution squad) without permission. It is soon after this that he engages Abarai Renji in a battle that easily turns in his favor. The Shingami’s abilities had already been analyzed by the scientist from data received in ‘spirit bugs’ implanted into the body of his older brother Il Forte. Using these data, he was able to similarly defeat Ishida Uryu (the Quincy) using data obtained from Cirucci Thunderwitch (a Privaron Espada). His luck shifted at times, damaged by Uryu but quickly healed by cannibalizing one of his own Fracciones. This luck further shifted away from his favor when he engaged an unknown (unresearched) party. Kurotsuchi Mayuri (a Shinigami and scientist) met up with Szayel Aporro after his elongated fight with Uryu and Renji. It is here that he verified just how resourceful both he and his resurrected form could be. His abilities range from being able to clone an opponent, create ‘voodoo dolls’ that can directly manipulate a desired target, and Gabriel, used by implanting himself into an enemy and birthing out of them. Unfortunately for him, Mayuri was able to counter him by predicting and preparing for such countermeasures. This ultimately led to Szayel Aporro’s paralysis in the battle field – a result of poisons injected inside of Kurotsuchi Nemu’s body (the impregnated) -- rendering him effectively neutralized.

Crux: Szayel was not completely destroyed when he fought Mayuri. Instead, he was paralyzed by Mayuri’s superhuman serum that he consumed when rebirthing himself inside of Nemu. The serum was eventually overcome by his genius.

Tangent: Szayel freed himself from his serum-induced prison; however, upon regaining strength, he was de-ranked and forced to leave his Espada position. His defeat came as an enormous blow to him – despite having been de-ranked in the past – because of the manner in which he was defeated. He left Hueco Mundo via the use of Garganta and suppressed his energy, knowing this would draw less attention to him. He left to seek yet more knowledge from all things he could get his hands on and used his power to keep his new experimentation hidden from Seireitei’s eyes. His plan was to become even more perfect than he had already seen himself. Eventually he grew tired of the ease at which he could manipulate human, Shinigami or Hollow subjects that he captured. Looking for a more advanced direction, he sought a city where he heard that souls could be seen, powerful beings sought refuge and vast depositories of knowledge existed.
