I own a Spanish-English dictionary, so out of curiosity I decided to check the names of the different classes of Menos. Out of "Gillian", "Adjuchas", and "Vasto Lorde", the only word that even translates from Spanish is "vasto" (and, yes, it does mean "vast"). I even tried different possible spellings, but none of them worked. If my dictionary is right, "countless creatures" would be "criaturas innumerables" and "stone demon" would be "piedra demonio". I know the translations were given by Tite Kubo (or at least someone in the know), but where did he get them? Darth Havoc 05:03, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
The Powers section states, under High-Speed Regeneration, that "Hollows outside of the Menos class who exhibit this ability are very rare; and even then it is usually exclusive to the Gillian Class." This does not make sense and is self contradictory. I'm changing it to "Only Menos-class Hollows have demonstrated this ability."
This is untrue. Nowhere is it ever stated that they lose this ability by evolving (only that most choose to give it up when shinigamifying). While it is unknown if Ulquiorra was adjucha or VL, either way he had evolved beyond a Gillian, but yet still had regeneration. Also, the Adjucha class Menos that attacked Ishida at the start of the Arrancar arc could regenerate (it was a menos, yet looked nothing like a Gillian, so it was likely an adjucha). Also, SAG regenerated via a healing aid, not by using High Speed Regeneration, and so is irrelevant to this section. I have deleted this sentence. User:Yyp 16:01, September 29, 2009Nnoitra was also shown to use High-Speed Regeneration only to regenerate his lost hands, except while being close to his death (which was inflicted only by Kenpachi). When Kenpachi cuts down Nnoitra with his Kendō, he also severs his hands (all other than the right center one).--Gran Danku 13:52, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
What is the kanji for "high-speed regeneration"? I heard only the dubbing of it: "saruseruka". Is it true what I heard according to Ulquiorra in Episode 272, or does it have another dubbing and not "saruseruka"?--Gran Danku 13:52, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure why it says Adjuchas is spanish for stone demon I've done some research and I couldn't really find anything. Can someone tell me where they found it's translation.--Kisukeiscool100396 04:38, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
There is a link to this word from Hollow#Tendencies implying that Nel and her friends went through it. Just what is this referring to? Is someone trying to talk about the Arrancar or something different? Tyciol 23:13, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
I'm noticing a formatting problem on this page. Under the Hollow Classification section, "Menos" is considered a classification along with "Gillian," "Adjuchas," and "Vasto Lorde." The problem here is that for viewers, it initially appears that there are 4 levels of Menos, with "Menos" at the bottom and "Vasto Lorde" at the top and could create confusion for those who don't already understand the classifications. I think it would be best if that sections is rearranged to make it more clear that the term "Menos" applies to all three evolutions and isn't a class in itself. I'll do it myself unless anyone has a reasonable objection to the matter. SerialSniper14(Talk) 06:23, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
On the powers and abilities section, there is a power called Hollow Shot. I am not familiar with this ability. Does it actually exist? If so, can someone put a reference to it? --Shinitenshi 04:08, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
The Hollow Shot is a weaker, faster version of the Cero that appears as a blast rather than a beam. Red electricity appears around the hand of the user. It's also called a "Hollow Bullet." When Urahara used his inflatable gigai against Yammy, Yammy used a bunch of these against it. ArchHollow 00:39, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
Given the similarity between "Hollow Shot" and "Hollow Bullet" (the other name for Bala), I assumed it was referring to that technique, but now that I've taken a closer look, that doesn't seem to be the case. According to the Bala article, though, only Arrancar can use it anyway, so it probably shouldn't be on the list even if it is the same technique.ArchHollow 01:16, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
From the looks of it, it's just referring to the generic energy attacks that non-Menos Hollows use, like the one Rukia made Ichigo kill after his encounter with Yammy and Ulquiorra. If that's the case, then it just needs to be renamed, better described, and referenced. Mohrpheus (talk) 15:04, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
Or it could've just been that Hollow's special ability, like Screecher has his unique ability, and so does the Hollow Orihime fought, and just about every other Hollow not named Fishbone D. There isn't hardly enough info to claim that it's a universal Hollow ability, and frankly, it sounds kinda dumb to be honest.CommonCentz (talk) 16:44, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
Bleachforum friends? Who said anything about Bleach forums? Lol... Anyway, that sounds better (Especially the name), though Im skeptical its a shared technique. I mean, if we're gonna assume that, why not assume all Shinigami have the same thing, since Shinji fired an unnamed beam to disrupt Grimmjow blowing off Rukia's head. But I guess that Hollow that used it was unnamed, and unimportant, so its kinda understandable to list its ability here. CommonCentz (talk) 18:57, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I was looking over the manga references again, and from what I could tell, no other Hollow in the series fire energy blasts like the ones in question. This suggests that they are that one Hollow's special ability, no different than Shrieker's artillery or Numb Chandelier's mind controlling parasites. Since it is the only ability on the list that is not even remotely implied to be standard for Hollows, we should remove it. Any objections? Mohrpheus (talk) 04:01, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
It states in the Adjuchas section (sorry if I misspelled that) that they come in several forms such as the Jaguar-like form of Grimmjow. However, according to his swords release, he was a panther, not a jaguar. Would replacing (jaguar-like form) to (panther-like form) be more correct? HellBlade (talk) 06:36, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
The Trivia states that "Demi" is the French word for Half and so Demi-Hollow should mean "Half-Hollow". As much as I don't question how true this can be, I thought we had agreed that unless they were specified by Kubo, these kind of Language Trivia would be considered Junk Trivia, but I thought of asking before doing anything since it seems like it has been sitting there for over a year according to the article's History. Lia Schiffer (Talk) 02:12, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
Wait, wait, demi has a language trivia? Why does "demi" need a language trivia? Isn't demi a fairly commonly used term in english, regardless of its french origins? Remove it I say. Tinni (Talk) 03:07, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
I'm trudging through this article, which may or may not end up being a partial rewrite. I came across the term "Huge Hollow," which apparently applies to an ordinary Hollow that is particularly large. However, the term is unreferenced - does anybody know where it came up? Mohrpheus (Talk) 05:38, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
I don't know if this helps, but it definitely was used when Hisagi got his scar. I also think that Uryu's grandfather was facing a number of huge hollows when he died; both instances I remember from reading the manga. The anime I'm not so sure; I've only been looking at the latest episodes. Aeron Solo wuz here (talk) 16:38, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
Is it not Episode 46 that whatever happens to Hisagi happens?? Ok the Chapter -17 in Volume 15, need to have a hoke around for it!! That's the flashback chapter right oh Hisagi, Momo, Renji and Kira?? SunXia (Chat) 17:44, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
Just as the name signifies, a gigantic Hollow. Unlike the Menos--beings composed of hundreds of Hollows--[a Huge Hollow] is already, on its own, [a] gigantic [one] (though not to the extent of the Gillian-level Menos).
Thus, a "Huge Hollow" seems to be a canon term, and was used in the flashback episode to describe the Hollows with undetectable reiatsu that almost killed cadets Kira, Momo and Renji before being dispatched by Aizen and Ichimaru. I tried to track down the chapter -17 that this ep. was supposedly based on, but EFFING NOBODY seems to have it at all, much less have the raw. RARRRGGGH!
Are Vasto Lorde stronger than Espadas/Arrancars because it states their combat abilities are above Gotei 13 captains and some Arrancars were easily defeated by Gotei 13? Oh and Tier as a Vasto Lorde was defeated by an average-level Arrancar. Ice Wizard Magic Geyser! 02:43 pm,Jun/21/11
Just randomly surfing through some interesting pages with *purdy* pictures (like this one for "Hollows") and following the helpful page references, and I discovered this element under the "Gillian" heading:
And not to belabor the point (esp. in a closed discussion), but in case anyone missed it/still wonders re: "Adjuchas": the translation "stone demon" apparently originated with the Spanish Wiki, which was apparently, in turn, citing data such as that contained in Gustav Davidson's A Dictionary of Angels including the fallen angels, in which Adjuchas is the "genius of rocks".
Frankly, I've no clear idea how fans and/or translators were able to deduce enough of this possible derivation to arrive at using the word Adjuchas, though I did find it listed on a Japanese website as having been used for an RPG monster, so maybe this was its circuitous path...

Hey guys, I think that the fanbook "Unmasked" has confirmed that Ulquiorra (at least) was a VL before becoming an Arrancar. Here's a link to the scans of the story in a youtube movie =sVcZoSOaEqA (I know it's a bad reference, but it's the content that matters). Whad do you think? Xfing (talk) 00:31, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
