Zanpakutou: Glotonería (Gluttony)
First Appearance: Manga chapter – 229 | Anime episode – 138

Aaroniero is the 9th Espada in Aizen’s arrancar army and is one of the first generation Espada that existed prior to Aizen’s arrival in Heuco Mundo. Aaroniero has an odd appearance, even for an arrancar – in place of a normal head, he has a large, glass cylindrical capsule containing two floating heads floating in liquid. When first encountered by Kuchiki Rukia, Aaroniero took the appearance of Rukia’s former senpei, Kaien Shiba and was even able to use Kaien’s shikai abilities. It was later revealed that the Hollow, Metastacia, which fused with Kaien prior to his death managed to return to Heuco Mundo, but was consumed by Aaroniero since one of his abilities is to absorb the powers of Hollows he eats. Aaroniero tried to use the guise of Kaien to lure Rukia into a trap, but Rukia was able to detect his deception in time to defeat Aaroniero.

Aaroniero’s zanpakuto is Glotonería which appears as a deformed appendage hidden in his left hand. Because Asroniero also indirectly absorbed Kaien’s spirit, he is also able to use his zanpakto, Nejibana. The Resurrección command for Glotoneria is “Devour” which transforms it into a large blob-like mass with a multitude of tentacles. As stated, Aaroniero’s special abiltity is to absorb other Hollows and their powers – one of the reasons why he became a top Espada. After cannibalizing Metastacia, Aaroniero gained all the abilities of that Hollow including body possession, mimic combat skills and manifest whatever powers of those he had absorbed.
