Just how dead is Aaroniero Arruruerie?

[UrbanWolf]

The Espada that Rukai killed may still be alive.  I am not gonna go into alot of detail about his chacter but keep this as breif as possible

Aaroniero's powers came from the hollows he eat, he eat the hollow that has Kaien soul bound to it, The hollow that possesed Kaien would upon death return to life in HM. He has that power, witch would also explain a few things about him like why he had a power that showed all the other Espada what killed him, and his death quote, "You said it wound not hurt" not excact quote going from memory.

so Ideas?

Well i d know that this can go in anime because this has happened in the anime,

~MOVED

and i think that he is dead because they clearly died. and the other espadas knew that he was gone and they all have a mental connection so they know what is going on with every one of them at all times.

Yea i agree with urusai when he died the others sensed it so i don't think he is coming back just like when you slay a hollow it dies no matter what happens during or after.

with the excecption of the hollow the killed Kaien Shiba and his wife. When that hallow died a special power that Aizen gave it(it was one of his hallow expearaments)  made it come back to life, when Rukia killed the hallow it was in Kaien's body so and when it reformed it was both Hollow and shinigami witch was then eatn by Aaroniero, who was the made into a arrancar, who later became espada nine, also the other Espada sencing his death was because he has the ability to project his death to them.

Aaroniero is unique in that he can absorb other hollows in their entirety not only giving him their power but their unique abilities

[UrusaiBaka]

I think that when he stopped moving, he was done though. A power is only good if you can use it, and he can't because he is dead.

[UrbanWolf]

how do you use a power that requires you to die without dieing

[noch]

hes 100% dead. i forget if the anime reached what im about to say, so i'll spoiler proof it:

I was going back over those chapters because i was confused about Neil, and right before the black espada and Byakuya fought, they show Aaroniero head smashed and the espada is saying he came to finish the job (Rukia) that Aaroniero died trying to do. Check out episode 298 or around there.

[UrbanWolf]

yeah thats why I orginally put this in the magna section

[domination2727]

Ok i see both sides now.  I think if he is still alive then thats gunna be a real shitty deal for rukia having thought she killed him and then come to find out he isn't dead...

[koustik kill]

well then that answered my question about that too.
