Bleach: Neliel Tu Oderschvank 06

At first thought to be nothing more than a lost child in Hueco Mundo, Neliel is actually Tia Halibel's predecessor; a full-grown woman with a ram-horned hollow mask and a large "3" tattooed on her back. She is perhaps the most honorable among the Espada, sparing weak opponents whenever she could. however, this ideology caused her downfall, as Nnoitora Jiruga attacks her from behind during a duel and, with the help of Szayelaporro, manages to crack her mask. The duel left Neliel in her child-like form and gave her to have amnesia, allowing Nnoitora to expel her from the Espada.

A rather daring cosplay from MoeHaku 2010! She really has Nel's look down. I wonder if she had a hard time walking with just stockings? Thanks to Misha for sending this in!

Bleach: Soi Fon

Born to be known as Shaolin Fon, Soi Fon is the captain of the 2nd Division, replacing Shihoin Yoruichi, her former captain who abandoned her post to aid Urahara Kisuke in leaving Soul Society. As she served Yoruichi as a bodyguard and eventually becomes her protege, Soi Fon felt abandoned that Yoruichi did not take her during the escape. It takes a century before she sees her former captain once more, challenging her in battle in order to ask the questions left unanswered.

Beautiful and very daring cosplay! She looks so convincingly like Soi Fon that it feels like she jumped out of the manga! Thanks to Ana for sending this in!

Bleach: Ulquiorra Schiffer 03

One of the first Arrancar to be introduced, Ulquiorra Schiffer went to the Human World alongside Yammy Riyalgo with orders from Aizen Sosuke to seek out Kurosaki Ichigo. When

analyzed Ichigo's reiatsu and its growth potential, he concluded that Ichigo was of no threat to Aizen and left without killing him. Unfortunately, Ulquiorra will soon come to realize that his initially findings were dead wrong.

Bleach: Kyoraku Shunsui 02

Captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui is a peace-loving man who will always try to find a non-violent solution. He does not, however, insult his opponent by refusing an invitation to fight. He and Ukitake Jushiro are two of the oldest captains in Gotei 13 and were both trained under General Yamamoto.

Stunning cosplay by Inoli! I love the Katen Kyokotsu props, but what I found most impressive is that the cosplayer is actually a girl. Thanks again to Typhoon for sending this!

Bleach: Soi Fon 03

Captain of the 2nd Division and current Commander in Chief of the Secret Mobile Corps known as Onmitsukido, Soi Fon is a hard worker who believes strongly in following orders. She applies similar battle techniques to her master, Shihoin Yoruichi, engaging her opponents by using hand-to-hand combat with Shunko abilities. After asking Yoruichi why she did not take her when she left Soul Society, Yoruichi’s answer was not heard, but the two made amends.

Beautiful Soi Fon cosplay! I really love everything about this photo, and she’s also one of my favorite characters in Bleach! Thanks to Yukino for sending this and to Delques for sharing it!

Bleach: Tousen Kaname

Former captain of the 9th Division, Tousen Kaname has been blind since birth but is capable of using his spiritual sense to “see”. He is a pacifist, but will not hesitate to take arms in order to preserve justice. He felt that it was necessary for him to join Aizen Sosuke because he felt a sense of injustice in Soul Society’s refusal to administer capital punishment to his friend’s murderer.

Impressive cosplay! I wasn’t able to see the ending of Bleach, but I’m guessing things did not go well for Tousen judging by this cosplay? Thanks to Hammel for sending this in!

Bleach: Shiba Kukaku

An ill-tempered woman, Shiba Kukaku is a fireworks expert who lives in the outskirts of Soul Society. Her family fell from the status of Nobility when her older brother, Shiba Kaien died in the hands of Kuchiki Rukia. This made Kukaku and her younger brother, Ganju, distrust the shinigami, until Rukia explained how Kaien died and apologized. She is also a friend of Shihoin Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke.

Very impressive cosplay! Both the costume and the setting is perfect and I like how the cosplayer hid her right arm since Kukaku has a prosthetic. Thanks to Hellena for sending this in!

Bleach: Luppi

Promoted to the 6th Espada when Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez lost his arm, Luppi is an arrogant Arrancar who boasts constantly in battle. He is known for saying “Sorry!” in a sarcastic manner after insulting someone and tends to note the odds against his enemies out loud. He and Ichimaru Gin appear to be in good terms, as Gin mentions he is lonely after Luppi’s death in the hands of Grimmjow.

Beautiful cosplay! I remember Luppi being quite androgynous, but I think this cosplayer’s definitely a girl. Thanks to Galimar for sending this in!

Bleach: Urahara Kisuke 02

With a tendency to drive away his customers at the Urahara Shop, former Captain of the 12th Division Urahara Kisuke is a keen analyst and an avid inventor. He has the ability to discern his opponents’ weaknesses and attack patterns with ease. He trained Kurosaki Ichigo and some of his friends in the store’s cave-like basement, and was able to pass on some of his analytical skills to Ichigo.

I suppose this is what Urahara would look like if he had a similar fate to Neliel. Too adorable! Thanks to Robin for sending this in!

Bleach: Soi Fon 02

The wielder of the zanpakuto known as the Suzumebachi, Soi Fon loves her master, Shihoin Yoruichi and adores anything that resembles a black cat because it is a form Yoruichi can assume at will. When she releases Suzumebachi, which literally means "hornet" or "giant sparrow-bee", the katana shrinks into a stinger that can be worn on the middle finger of her right hand. A sting from Suzumebachi will mark an opponent with a butterfly symbol known as a homonka or "hornet's crest". If stung in the same place twice, the opponent will most certainly die.

Beautiful Canadian cosplayer ~Pyrahus from Deviant Art! Reader Tara has given me Pyrahus' gallery, and I think this is one of my favorite photos of her. Thanks also to her photographer ~Kanna-tears for the awesome work!

Bleach: Neliel Tu Oderschvank 06

At first thought to be nothing more than a lost child in Hueco Mundo, Neliel is actually Tia Halibel's predecessor; a full-grown woman with a ram-horned hollow mask and a large "3" tattooed on her back. She is perhaps the most honorable among the Espada, sparing weak opponents whenever she could. however, this ideology caused her downfall, as Nnoitora Jiruga attacks her from behind during a duel and, with the help of Szayelaporro, manages to crack her mask. The duel left Neliel in her child-like form and gave her to have amnesia, allowing Nnoitora to expel her from the Espada.

As she served Yoruichi as a bodyguard and eventually becomes her protege, Soi Fon felt abandoned that Yoruichi did not take her during the escape. It takes a century before she sees her former captain once more, challenging her in battle in order to ask the questions left unanswered.

Bleach: Shihoin Yoruichi 02

Highly skilled in tactical combat, Shihoin Yoruichi is known as the Shunshin, “Goddess of Flash”, for her speed in movement is unmatched in Soul Society. She is a master of Shunko, “Flash Release”, a technique that combines hand-to-hand combat with kido abilities. This allows her to fight bare-handed against an enemy’s weapon without sustaining injuries.

Very well-done! I really love her yellow eyes and pose. It makes her look very cat-like, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks to Mishalynne for sending this in!

Bleach: Neliel Tu Oderschvank 05

Just when I thought I knew the real deal, Wiki changes on me, yet again.

So, she's really "Neliel Tu Oderschvank" and not "Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck", right? Or maybe I should stick to ネリエル トゥ オーデルシュヴァンク to avoid confusion this time.

Anyway, ネル トゥ has the ability to swallow cero attacks and, in her adult form, fire them back with her own cero. Her released form, which is achieved by manifesting with her zanpakuto Gamuza, is that of an ibex-like centaur with long, curved horns, a thick tail, and an armor covering her shoulders and hands. Her zanpakuto also changes into a white, double-ended lance, making her appear as a medieval knight or jouster.

Pretty daring cosplay, and she certainly has the look for it. Thanks to Shiro-kun for sending this in! Too bad there's only a small version of this photo.
