Fraccion
This chapter made me think of what the fraccion represent, here is what I found…
Primera Espada – Stark – Loneliness: Lillinette is his only Fraccion.
Little has been revealed about her, but her eye patch and sawed off horn could indicate abuse… She seems attention starved and seems to scream emotional distress…
Segunda Espada – Barragan Luisebarn – Aging: Barragan has the most Fraccion of any of the hollow, They are:
A. Choe Neng Poww: (Whale) A giant who uses only fist techniques, Choe doesn’t really represent Old Age in anyway, though he does make “God” references to Barragan.
B. Charlotte Cuuhlhourne: (Rose) Obsesed with beauty, Cuuhlhourne deprives his opponents allies of the ability to sense the of death of his victim by hiding them in a rose bush. Part of old age is the decay of the body and the loss of physical beauty, because Cuuhlhourne should naturally detest old age, Barragan may have used his powers to stop Cuuhlhourne from aging with his abilities.
C. Avirama Redder: (Eagle) He is very battle crazy, he is symbolizes Native American tribes in his fighting style, personality and Resurreccion (his release command is Scalp). I think under the Theme of old age he is meant to represent how Native Americans were basically killed off.
D. Findor Carias: (Crab) Findor progresses through battle by fighting at the level of various seated officers by slowly removing his mask piece by piece. Findor’s philosophy is that life is just a series of questions and that one’s fate is base on getting the correct answers. Under Barragan’s theme, Findor represents maturity and progression through life.
E. Nirgge Parduoc: (Woolly Mammoth) Nirgge resembles a woolly mammoth in appearance and Resurreccion. Nirgge is defeated accidentally by his own team mate… Under the old age theme, Nirgge Parduoc represents the extension of the woolly mammoths.
F. Ggio Vega: (Sabertooth) Ggigo is a martial artist, at first he relys upon a mix of speed and power but then quickly dies in his next form that sacrifices speed for power. Like Nirgge, Ggigo represents an extinct animal, the saber tooth.
Barragan’s Fraccion all represent natural themes. With the exception of Charlotte, they are animals. Barragan’s theme seems to have some influence over his Fraccion, but because of their large numbers, none of them really connect fully.
Tercera Espada – Halibel – Sacrifice (Nel-former)
Fraccion: Apache (Deer), Mila-Rose (Lion), Sun-Sun (Snake), Allon (Chimera):
All three of Halibel’s fraccion give up a body part in order to summon a stronger monster (Allon)… thats pretty sacrificial… (This theme also fits Nel and her fraccion as well…)
Cuatra Espada – Ulquiorra Cifer – Emptiness
Fraccion: Ulquiorra doesn’t have any Fraccion… This fits his theme pretty well…
Quinta Espada – Nnoitora Jiruga – Despair/Hopelessness
Telsa (Hog/Wart): Telsa wears an Eye Patch in honnor of Nnoitora, before becoming his fraccion, Telsa didn’t have this symbol, Telsa is extremely loyal to Nnoitora, His Jacket appearance however, is fairly similar to Szayel’s Scientist theme, indicating he may have previously been loyal to him and then switched sometime after becoming an Arrancar. He tries to be strong like Nnoitora but fails to understand his motivation.
Sexta Espada – Grimmjow Jeagerjaques – Destruction (Luppi-former)
Grimjow’s theme is destruction, it is interesting to note that Grimjow was responsible for the destruction of his Fraccion’s collective dream to become Vasto Lorde when they were still hollow.
Septima Espada – Zommari Leroux – Addiction/Obsession: oddly enough he doesn’t have any fraccion, you would think he would have dozens as “Obsession”…
Octava Espada – Szayel Apollo Grantz – Insanity/Madness
Lumina and Verona: They fit into the theme of insanity very well, they seem demented in a few ways, they finish each others sentances and appear to like repeating certain words (like Dead)…
His other Fraccion, Medazzepi, seems to also be mentally retarded, he is incapable of speech and is hypersensative to pain.
Novena Espada – Aaroniero Arleri – Greed: Greed doesn’t like to share, needless to say, Aaroniero doesn’t have any Fraccion, unless you count the people he transforms into as his minions…
Decima/Cero Espada – Yammy Riyalgo – Rage: Yammy isn’t the type to lead, he isn’t smart enough and he is to angry (as his theme suggests…) At first it was thought that he was UL.’s Fraccion because he was so subservient… It is obvious from how he treats Loly and Melony that he wouldn’t tollerate subordinates for very long, if he had any, they are long dead by now.
What do you think?

Pretty good little blog here Marty.
I agree there probably are correlations between the aspect of death, and the fraccion, but the way they are linked is just too inconsistent. Perhaps, hopefully, it will be explained later.
My favorite fraccions so far are Lilinette, Ggio Vega, and Tesla.
I think the ones that fit your theory best so far are Halibel and Szayel’s.

I’ve been waiting for this. Nice job you’ve done here, mart.
Tite didn’t just create random characters for fraccion, it would seem. They all suit the espada they serve perfectly.
Why do you think Zommari has no fraccion?
By ssj sousuke, May 19, 2009 @ 2:25 pm
Just one of those solo type of people.
I think if they had the option, certain Captains like Byakuya, Hitsugaya, or Mayoru would work alone too.

good article. Thou Uli seems to have two fraccion. The two woman. They appear in the manga at chapter 272.
I also dont think the Fraccion are ‘meant’ to represent the Aspect of death the Espada seems to cover. Seems a bit too much honor to put on them seeing how they all are basicly treated as ’servants’.
By ssj sousuke, May 20, 2009 @ 2:23 pm
those 2 arent Uli’s fraccion. it was stated in the data book that he has no fraccion

yeah, those two aren’t ulquiorra’s fraccion. they’re like wonderweiss. i wonder what happened to him.
By Pretend3r, May 21, 2009 @ 9:24 am
Then I stand correct. I dont have that data book to begin with. They do tend to hang around his quarters tho.

Those two would be Aizen’s Fraccion if anything, They aren’t UL.’s fraccion and I knew that without the Databook (I hate it too, stupid interns and their stupid paperpushing jobs
ushes an intern just for fun: )
