Szayel is the eighth Espada in Aizen’s arrancar army. He has distinctive pink hair and his remains of his hollow mask form a pair of square framed glasses he wears. Prior to becoming the Eigth Espada, Szayel helped fellow arrancar Nnoitra Jiruga to ambush and defeat Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck so as to reclaim his

position as a top Espada. Szayel could be considered the Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the Espada, being highly intelligent but also possessing an extremely eccentric and narcissistic personality similar to his shinigami counterpart. Szayel is very selfish and cares little for anything other than his own research; even after his brother Yylfordt was killed by Renji, Szayel commented it was not worth getting upset over. Szayel joined forces with Aizen to eradicate non-Hollows, who he sees as inferior. He also desires to obtain the perfect body and achieve immortality, which are reflected in the Resurrección abilities of his zanpaktou.

Szayel_ReleasedSzayel’s Resurrección command is sip, where upon his lower body transforms into purplish tentacles and four branch like structures grow outwards from his back that are adorned with drops that can expand to protect him in a shield. Szayel gains several abilities in his resurrección form including:

  • Create cloned copies of his opponent by splashing them with a dark liquid from his back
  • Generate “voodoo dolls” of opponents after engulfing them with his wings. The dolls contain pellets which represent internal organs of the victim. Crushing a pellet will result in serious damage to the said organ.
  • Possess the victim’s nervous system and control the body (only possible if Szayel is consumed by the opponent such as when he was by Mayuri Kurotsuchi’s Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo)
  • Gabriel – a form of resurrection where Szayel impregnates the enemy with a part of himself by consuming the body from the inside to regenerate himself and kill the enemy at the same time.

Although he proclaims not to be a very strong fighter, Szayel is quite powerful. Along with various inventions and traps at his disposal, Szayel is capable of various arrancar abilities like sonido (super speed) and hierro (spiritual shield). He also possesses multiple fraccion under his command, but they are notably weaker than the fraccion kept by other top ranked Espada. Szayel has modified each of his fraccion’s bodies so he can cannibalize them instantly to regenerate his own wounds.
