Wonderweiss Margela

Bright violet eyes and a scattering of freckles give Wonderweiss a boyish, almost cherubic look, and only a pair of teeth show whenever he grins. Pale blond hair sweeps to one side with its ends flaring outward, topped by the leftover Hollow mask that forms a small three-pointed tiara. His Arrancar coat is cut open across the chest to bare the Hollow cavity beneath, and broad cuffs ring the sleeves.

In his original Hollow state he was a roughly human-shaped figure swaddled in bandages, with odd bulges pushing out across the wrapped body.

Aizen deliberately emptied Wonderweiss of reason, memory, language, and thought, trading intellect for raw force. What remains behaves like a small child. Ordered to kill, he wandered off to chase a dragonfly instead, and though he can lash out, firing a reflexive Bala or later running Ukitake through without warning, he slips back to blank playfulness just as fast.

His speech never forms sentences, only the slurred babble of an infant; the single word he ever pronounced clearly was his own name, spoken the instant he awoke. Tosen regarded him as a kindred pure being and believed that bond kept the boy trailing after him, even trying to hold Gin back out of unease. For all that was taken from him, fear survived: Yamamoto noticed the Arrancar grow afraid in the moments before the end.

Sensors of the 12th Division registered Wonderweiss at Espada strength, and he backed that reading up by gravely wounding Captain Ukitake, downing the Visored Mashiro, and later beating a Bankai-wielding Kensei. He fights on pure instinct, charging in with grabs and blows and trusting dodges rather than any trained defense, shielded by a Hierro tough enough to shrug off being hurled through buildings. From his mouth he can build a purple Cero, while his fists launch a pink Bala.

His signature is Vagido, a shrieking battle cry whose shockwave shattered Hitsugaya's ice tower and seemed to command the beast Hooleer; a sharper variant, I Bu, can cancel an incoming Cero outright. His sealed Zanpakuto, Extinguir, releases into a mutated Resurreccion built for one task: nullifying Ryujin Jakka. The flames Yamamoto had already produced are locked inside Wonderweiss so long as he breathes, bursting free in an explosion once he dies. Released, he wields an even harder Hierro that caught the Captain-Commander's swung blade barehanded, rapid regeneration, and Centurion, a swarm of long arms sprouting from his back and shoulders.
