{{nihongo|'''Shinji Hirako'''|平子 真子|Hirako Shinji}} is a character in the [[manga]] and [[anime]] series ''[[Bleach (manga)|Bleach]]''. Shinji is a [[vizard]] and initially acts as their recruiter, later appearing in a more solid leadership role. |
|||
An early design of Shinji can be seen in the first chapter's cover art, making it clear he was planned well before his introduction.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; chapter 1, pages 2-3.</ref> He is also a playable character in ''[[Bleach: Heat the Soul 4]]'' & Bleach Blade Battlers 2, alongside Kensei, Hiyori, and Lisa. |
|||
==Character outline== |
|||
Shinji is a blond, male vizard who first appeared after the events of the anime only Bount arc, standing on a pole and overlooking Karakura Town. Shinji speaks a Japanese dialect known as [[Kansai-ben]]. Shinji also has his tongue pierced with a ring, although it does not seem to be a common tongue ring. Shinji's character is somewhat comical, adding a bit of levity to situations that are otherwise serious. Although he can be funny at times, he also can be deadly serious if the situation warrants it. |
|||
He seems to like annoying his associate, [[Characters in Bleach#Vizard|Hiyori Sarugaki]], which usually earns him a slap from one of her sandals. He also appears to have a history of referring to cute girls he meets as his 'first love', complete with a deadpan look on his face despite the obvious lie (he apparently never did this with Hiyori, further annoying her). One of his previous acclaimed crushes was [[Characters in Bleach#Vizard|Lisa Yadōmaru]], a fellow vizard, and his current is [[Orihime Inoue]].<ref>''Bleach'' manga; chapter 226, page 01.</ref> |
|||
Shinji also has prior knowledge of [[Sōsuke Aizen]], the [[Arrancar]] and the Orb of Distortion, claiming he has known about it for years.<ref>''Bleach'' manga, chapter 217, page 13.</ref> When Shinji interrupted the fight between Ichigo and Grimmjow, he claims that he never wanted to get into any ''shinigami'' battles, but couldn't sit back and watch when a fight is so near to him. <ref>''Bleach'' manga, chapter 236, page 05</ref> |
|||
==Synopsis== |
|||
Shinji first appeared after the events of the Bount arc, standing on top of a pole much like how [[Rukia Kuchiki]] did when she was introduced. Shinji takes up the guise of a new student and [[Ichigo Kurosaki]]'s school in an attempt to make him join the vizard, though Ichigo refuses. Ichigo, after losing to [[Grimmjow Jeagerjaques]], does eventually go to the vizard headquarters to learn to control his inner hollow, however, though refuses to join. Shinji, angered, has a fight with Ichigo, though Hiyori interrupts and takes over Ichigo's training. During a fight with Hiyori's hollow, Ichigo transforms into his own hollow form, and Shinji, retaking control, leads the vizard in subduing Ichigo's hollow form. Shinji then sends Ichigo to his inner world, where Ichigo confronts his inner hollow and fully transforms into his hollow form. Shinji and the other vizard take turns battling it until Ichigo successfully becomes a ''shinigami'' again. |
|||
Shinji also reappears in order to aid Ichigo and [[Rukia Kuchiki]] against Grimmjow. Shinji overpowers Grimmjow until the latter is taken back to Hueco Mundo. |
|||
==Powers and abilities== |
|||
[[Image:ShinjiMaskAnimeEp140.jpg|thumb|Shinji Hirako with his hollow mask on.]] |
|||
Shinji is implied to be a powerful combatant, as are most of the vizard. It is unknown as of now where Shinji stands in the vizard ranks, if such ranks exist. After the point at which Ichigo arrives at the vizard warehouse, Shinji appears to step more obviously into a position of unofficial leadership, as he is seen structuring the group's fighting rotations during the battle with Ichigo's hollow, among other things.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; chapter 220, page 1.</ref> At one point, when Shinji begins to fight with Ichigo, the other vizard mention that Ichigo is foolish to battle Shinji and that Shinji is not taking the battle seriously.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; chapter 215, page 11.</ref> |
|||
Shinji's hollow mask resembles a [[pharaoh]]'s [[death mask]]. Shinji is quite skilled with his [[Hollow (Bleach)#Abilities|hollow powers]], such as ''cero'' blasts. The video games also depict him being able to split the ''cero'' blasts into a pyramid shaped attack. |
|||
===Zanpakutō=== |
|||
Not much has been revealed about Shinji's ''[[zanpakutō]]'', as he rarely uses or even visibly wears it. The hilt and sheath are red. None of his release states have been shown, and the times that he does seriously fight he seems to rely more on his hollow mask. |
