Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well I thought it was a genetic reaction to the existence of Shinigami who could use Resurrecion.

If a Shinigami can use Resurrecion then obviously the Hollows have got to evolve to keep a step ahead.

As the Hollows can already evolve at an incredible rate (changing their body shape as much as they do between death, Hollowfication, Menos, Aduchjas and Vasto Lorde is clearly fast) it wouldn't be unusual for them to develop a defence mechanism against Shinigami with Resurrecion.

You can tell that Ulquiorra has only recently gained it as you can tell that Tousen only recently gained his Resurrecion by the way they talk about it. I think that any Arrancar that sees it starts up an evolutionary process creating a Resurrecion Segunda Etapa capable Arrancar.

Now it sounds silly but LOL HE'S A VASTO LORDE SO HE GETS A SEGUNDA ETAPA just sounds boring. I'm hoping for something more imaginative like. Ulquiorra is a pure soul in control of a Hollow's body which gives him new powers or something.

Quincy really do need upgrades though. For my first Quincy I just tried to use the model for a Quincy and corrupt it.

That's a fair point but Ulquiorra was pure emotion in that form. He was terror incarnate. Ichigo was trembling at the sight of him.

He was more invoking of emotion that Ulquiorra's previous form and thus more humanlike.

Quincies powers do come from absorbing spiritual particles. That's true but to hold together multiple things at once would take a master Quincy.

For instance. A normal Quincy could probably either choose between defensive or offensive.

A good Quincy could use both at once but ineffectively.

A masterful Quincy could make his defence open up to let his arrows through.

It felt like a sea of heavy reiatsu. It was different. It was reiatsu that carried emotion.

So maybe it converts emotion into reiatsu on some level. It connects the Hollow with their human self and empowers them with huge emotion which is released in the form of reiatsu and a power boost.

It would be fitting. Only empty souls could work as a container for strong emotions.

Well my character's emotion is indecisiveness.

So it would be interesting. It could be very interesting if we're right although this undoubtedly means one thing.

Like you said. Everyone and their mother will be despair.

That's just the invoking part.

There is also the actual set of powers that go with it.

Fear and Despair obviously require pure power to go along with it to invoke even greater fear.

On the other hand. Something like Apathy would have powers that were unimpressive but killed someone slowly while they weren't watching.

Anger is one we could say Yammy has shown.

'GET PISSED OFF IRA' has to be my favourite subs of the year on that note.

Sorrow. Well powers that would invoke sorrow. Illusionary powers that horrify and terrify the victim.

Confusion. It could absorb meaning from everything. Create a monochrome world through it's power. By absorbing purpose things become worthless and you become confused as to why you're here. What you're fighting for.

That kind of thing.

You know that makes a lot of sense when you think about the one Segunda Etapa we've seen.

It fits the bill perfectly.

I suppose we'll have to wait for a second to know how it truly works though. So the return of Grimmjow basically.

Yammy is still fighting in his second form of Resurrecion.

...do you read the Manga?
