*** The Yamamoto/Ukitake/Kyoraku fight is rectified in the anime, where Yamamoto ends up fighting Reigei of the other two during the Gotei 13 Invading Army arc. It ends up being a pretty good fight.
* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: [[spoiler: Shino wears... a lilypad on her head]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: 
** [[MadScientist Mayuri Kurotsuchi]]. Technically on the good guys side by virtue of being a Gotei 13, but his pursuit of knowledge in the name of science doesn't simply cross the MoralEventHorizon, it's set up shop well out of sight of it. And yet, when he fights [[EvilCounterpart Szayel Aporro Granz]], we learn that even he believes there's a right way and a wrong way to go about being a scientist (not that that has anything to do with morality, of course- he just doesn't think scientists should strive for perfection). 
** While Grimmjow is willing to kill his own allies in order to recover his rank, if he feels he is in debt, he will go out of his way to repay it - displayed when he rescues [[spoiler: Orihime, who had healed his arm]], from two Arrancar girls who had been torturing her.
** Not to mention Ulquiorra. He may be a member of the Espada, but calls Nnoitra "disgusting" when the latter toys with the idea of [[spoiler: [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping]] Orihime]].

** Very intelligently averted with Kyoraku in the Zanpaktou Tales filler arc. Kyoraku refers to the two swords of his daisho as a tachi and a wakazashi. Tachi were what the Japanese used as longswords before katanas were invented, and Kyoraku has probably had his Zanpaktou since long before then.
** [[spoiler: Ginjou's necklace can turn into a Big Ass Broadsword]]
** [[spoiler: While Tsukishima's sword ''is'' a Katana, It's also a ''bookmark''.]] 
* EvilAllAlong: 
** Aizen was introduced as a gentle captain who was deeply concerned about Rukia's execution. Then it's revealed he instigated the entire plot and is the BigBad of the story.
** [[spoiler: Ginjou]] was introduced as a friend and ally who wanted to help Ichigo. [[spoiler: Then it's revealed he's instigated the arc's entire plot and is the ArcVillain who wants to steal Ichigo's powers.]]
* EvilOldFolks: Sawatari from the Bount {{Filler}} arc.
* EvilVersusEvil: While Mayuri vs. Szayel is a direct example, the trope could by extension be applied to the entire Soul Society vs. Espada conflict, as while most of the Espada were undeniably evil, most of the Shinigami are [[NotSoDifferent not much better]].

* EyepatchOfPower:
**  Kenpachi, whose eyepatch is a self-handicap that absorbs his power. Nnoitra has one, too...But that may be a public service, [[NightmareFace given what his covers.]]
** Starrk's release dons him with one
** As of Chapter 515, [[spoiler: Shunsui]] now dons one after losing an eye in the battle with [[spoiler: The Vandenreich]].
* EyeScream: Ulquiorra has the ability to ''rip out his own eyes''. They grow back, though.
** In chapter 450, [[spoiler: Ichigo got '''both''' of his eyes slashed by Ginjo]]
** [[spoiler: Shunsui]] gets one of his eyes ''shot out'' in chapter 497
* EyesAlwaysShut: Gin is the freakin' poster-boy for this trope.
** You get so used to his eyes being shut that just him opening them (like when he gets surprised attack by Ichigo and when he released his Bankai) qualifies as an OhCrap moment
** Yamamoto too, though he does open his more often than Gin.
* TheFaceless / TheBlank: Tosen's [[spoiler: hollow mask]], since he doesn't need eyeholes.
* FacelessGoons: The Exequias, [[spoiler: The Soldat]]
* FacialMarkings: Several ''[[{{shinigami}} Soul Reapers]]'', nearly all of the Arrancar, and the Vizard's hollow masks.

* TheFightingNarcissist: 
** Yumichika Ayasegawa, one of the ''very'' rare heroic examples because he may be a subversion. He certainly insists on presenting himself as such a person, but the reality is [[HiddenDepths more complicated]]: his fight with [[EvilCounterpart Charlotte Cuuhlhourne]] reveals he's actually sacrificing his real self for the sake of his division's philosophy due to his belief that UndyingLoyalty is much more important than his own desires. Charlotte is used to lampshade this by [[TheFightingNarcissist genuinely being]] what Yumichika is pretending to be... but looks-wise, he's a mix of TheBrute and MagicalGirl. When they fight, HilarityEnsues followed by MoodWhiplash to [[TheReveal reveal]] the truth about Yumichika.
** In the [[{{Filler}} anime-only]] Invasion arc, the anime decides to play this trope straight for Yumichika by changing his HiddenDepths to something that's even more narcissistic than his public image. The first time Yumichika meets [[spoiler: his [[EvilTwin clone]],]] he's struck by the terrible dilemma of not being able to fight - because he can't [[spoiler: bring himself to attack [[SayItWithHearts 'such a beautiful me']].]] On the other hand, [[spoiler: his clone]] has no such qualms about the fight because he thinks [[spoiler: the real Yumichika would look even more [[BloodLust beautiful covered in blood]]...]] which is taking narcissism to the point of [[spoiler: both sadism and masochism.]]

* GracefulLoser: There have been a couple of examples in this manga. 
** Kenpachi to Ichigo: in his own rough way, his "What are you apologizing for? You won, idiot." is [[{{Firefly}} really very gentle... and fuzzy]] by Kenpachi's standards.
** Byakuya to Ichigo: Ichigo told Byakuya he was going to defeat him and then drag him to Rukia to apologise and insisted Byakuya tell him why he was refusing to protect his own sister. At the end of the fight, Ichigo had no idea he had won. Byakuya simply started talking - he gave Ichigo an insight into his heart, offered him victory and, a few chapters later, he does indeed apologise to Rukia and then fully explains the reason why he didn't protect her, ending his speech with a direct thank you to Ichigo.
** Edorad to Ikkaku, who had absolutely no interest in playing by Ikkaku's etiquette rules and learning the identity of his opponent. At the end of the fight, he nevertheless expresses his gratitude to Ikkaku for his insistence in revealing his identity so that he can indeed die knowing who had killed him.
** [[spoiler: Charlotte to Yumichika.]] The pair spent the entire fight insulting each other as if this world wasn't big enough to survive the existence of two of them... but at the end of the fight, [[spoiler: Charlotte's]] dying act is offer a genuine and deep respect for [[spoiler: Yumichika's]] strength and (in particular) resolve.

cleaned up zero context examples. A lot weren't relevant or are character tropes.
