Ggio Vega

The remnant of Ggio's Hollow mask sits atop his head like a helmet, shaped after the skull of a saber-toothed cat, and his Hollow hole stays out of sight. Slim and youthful, he has a somewhat feminine face, golden eyes, and unkempt black hair gathered into a short braided tail. His white Arrancar uniform is customized into something like a mandarin jacket, its collar turned up and a small gap left at the chest, the sleeves pushed to his elbows above close-fitting white hakama and martial-arts-style shoes.

Composed and loyal, Ggio carries himself with a cocky, sarcastic streak and a fair measure of arrogance. He reveres his master Baraggan Louisenbairn, calling him his majesty, and in a fight he likes to lecture opponents on what they should have done before laying into them. Being underestimated genuinely irritates him. He is also no fan of his own trump card, Tigre Estoque El Sable, since the bulk it grants him takes two full months to fade afterward.

Ggio arrives in the fake Karakura Town among Baraggan's six Fracción to face the Gotei 13. After the Espada scatters his subordinates to topple the pillars anchoring the real town, half of them are killed, and Ggio begs leave to handle the remaining Shinigami himself. His plea draws the challenge of Suì-Fēng, captain of the 2nd Division. A skilled swordsman, hand-to-hand fighter, and a master of Sonído quick enough to keep pace with her Shunpo, he trades blows with her on even footing, breaking free of her binding with a magenta Cero.

Releasing his Zanpakutō, Tigre Estoque, turns him into a striped, tiger-like shape armed with bladed wrists, and he can even fire the fangs of his mask as projectiles through Misil Diente. The duel turns lethal when a stray blow knocks Suì-Fēng into Nirgge Parduoc and kills him, and Ggio pins her with the horns from his head, only for Marechiyo Ōmaeda to intervene. Driven to his final form, Tigre Estoque El Sable, Ggio bulks into a hulking beast, but Suì-Fēng slips behind him and reveals that her Suzumebachi had already marked him twice. A butterfly-shaped crest blooms across his chest, and he is erased.
