He wants to be one, and he IS one, so leave this alone.

Added DiffLines:

* CompleteMonster: His image-poem [[LampshadeHanging alludes]] that he's ''[[InvokedTrope aiming to be one]]'', and since he was one of only two Espada that went to Hell after his death, he's certainly succeeded.
-->''"Tell me I'm the thing you hate the most in this world."''
** That said, he's also one of the first three Espada to ''die'', so it's not so much that they were the ''only'' ones to go to Hell as they were the ''first'' to go to Hell (though this was only shown in the fourth movie, and the movies' canon status is debated).

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In a parallel to Ichigo and Grimmjow's rivalry, Loly stops cowering and tries to fight Yammy off when he's about to attack Orihime, yelling at him for messing with "her prey". Doesn't work out.

* PetTheDog: Loly's [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou defense of Orihime from Yammy]] in the anime, even to the point of telling Orihime not to risk rescuing her when Yammy has her in her grip.

** Inverted in the anime's rendition of this scene, where Loly ends up being less of a bitch than before, fighting to defend Orihime rather than herself, and Yammy's beatdown of her is just a KickTheDog moment, with her disrespect toward him the KickTheSonOfABitch involved.

* CompleteMonster: A remarkable {{Deconstruction}}. If you get in his way, he'll kill you out of annoyance. If you're not in his way, he will pick a fight with you for fun. If you don't fight back, he'll physicaly torture you to death. If you are wounded and weak, he'll keep up the torture until he gets bored and finishes you off. While you're fighting him, he'll cheat his way into winning at every chance he sees. He wants to die in battle and highly enjoys beating the shit out of people that can't fight back in the meantime. And God help you if you're a woman not named Harribel. He lacks any redeeming quality, but his psychology makes him pitiable, rather than utterly detestable, and well-executed AlternateCharacterInterpretation gives more depth to him than most monsters. [[invoked]]

** [[spoiler: Was a complete monster in life when he was an alchemist who experimented on people his brother captured.]]



* CompleteMonster: Apparently, he was so bad that [[InvokedTrope he actually went to Hell once he died]].



* CompleteMonster: [[invoked]] He mass-murders tons of innocent humans, and deliberately suffocates Tatsuki with his presence by waling up to her. Once he loses an arm to a fight, it gets reattached by a nurse. He wants to see if it works, so he bashes in her skull and mumbles that if it really was at full strength, he would've split her in half. After that, he punches Menoly through a wall while she had her back turned, and brutalizes Loly when she was protecting Orihime from him. The kicker? He's a deconstruction - the man is personally treated as a joke, but his actions are never played as such.

Somewhat plays this straight when Shien devours him in Hell and then later Szayel's personality takes over, assuming a Segunda Epta form that is equal in power to Hollow Ichigo and copies other Espada's Resurreccións like Los Lobos and Respira.]]

Not an example, too ambiguous. Kenpachi and Byakuya try to brush off their injuries and act cool but the shinigami around them comment on the fact they\'re so badly injured they need immediate medical attention. As a result, there\'s no way of knowing how the off-screen battle went.


** Similarly, the off-screen fight against him and Kenpachi and Byakuya, in which Yammy gets his ass kicked, although both Kenpachi and Byakuya [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous lost their captains' jackets]], and it lasted over an hour.

If they had been heavily injured Ken-chan wouldn\'t have described the fight as boring. This suggests that their injuries are more a result of their own fight than the one with Yammy.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The defining theme of his CharacterDevelopment is his lack of ability to understand why ANY of the heroes continue fighting for Orihime when they shouldn't be able to win, and their allies keep falling. When she explains that this is due to the connections their hearts share he is even more confused. It's a point which he questions over and over again, to Orihime and at one instance, even Ichigo.

* EvilCounterpart: Similar in many ways to Kenpachi as a bloodthirsty, fight-loving psycho with the desire to fight strong enemies, but Nnoitra is strongly distinguished by his lecherous, petty, and arrogant characterization. The core of their axcraziness is also different: Kenpachi fights for fun, Nnoitra is a DeathSeeker; Nnoitra is obsessed with proving he is the strongest, Kenpachi ''loves'' finding out the opponent might be stronger than him. A visual parallel is also drawn with Nnoitra's eyepatch, which is later replaced with a scar identical to Kenpachi's after taking a strong slash to the face and chest. And Nnoitra, while not neccesarily ''cowardly'', is completely OK with attacking an enemy when they are exhausted or their guard is down (and actually thinks not doing so is the height of stupidity), whereas Zaraki always gives his opponents a fighting chance, to the point of handicapping himself so he doesn't [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] every enemy.

* CantCatchUp: Inverted, but defied: in his normal state, he can easily outmatch Ichigo in speed and strength, killing the hero in their first battle and proving a ''very'' tough match in the second until Ichigo used his mask. With his sword released, he overpowers Ichigo in ''every stat possible'', knocking him around back and fourth without trying. [[spoiler: And dear God, the Segunda form had stats going through the '''roof'''!]] It's a mere wonder he kept his spot as the fourth Espada, since it almost seemed like all the Espada ''should'' be playing catch up to him.

* SevenDeadlySins: Doubles as ThemeNaming, since his second/final battle with Ichigo had each sin in the title; The Envy, The Greed, The Gluttony, The Pride, The Sloth, The Wrath, and The Lust 1 through 6. Chapters entitled "The Ash" and "The Heart" wrap the fight up.

** [[KnowledgeBroker Gluttony]]: To information; he had a habit of probing for any information about his enemies that he was missing.
** {{Lust}}: Depending on how you view "lust", he either averts it or plays it straight.
*** Averted: he completely ignored attraction to Orihime, and even reminds her that he's there to make sure she stays alive.
*** Straight: he wanted to know more about human emotions and their ties to others in "love" and "friendship" to a creepy amount, [[FanFic and many people think]] that [[WildMassGuessing he visited Orihime often off screen just to ask questions about these.]] This ties into his main CharacterDevelopment of understanding "the heart".
** {{Pride}}: Boasted about Arrancars being superior to humans and Soul Reapers and stated that humans could never copy a Hollow's power. [[spoiler: This bit him back ''hard'' when Ichigo CameBackWrong.]]
** [[BrilliantButLazy Sloth]]: He didn't do anything to any of the threats against Aizen, save for Ichigo, even when he states that he's been ordered to scout out anything potential and destroy it.
** [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]]: Furiously beat down Ichigo in their second battle, blasted craters into two unseated Soul Reapers to make a point, and probably would've done one of the two to Uryu.



* TheOtherDarrin: Was originally voiced by Steven Jay Blum for a videogame. Most fans were, strangely, angered about it, [[FridgeLogic even though Steven was hitting the range the Japanese Ulquiorra went for, dispite claims much later that Ulquiorra's voice was too high or sounded off.]]

*** Possible explanation is that, hidden agenda or not, he is still loyal to Aisen. And Aisen, as we learn later, needed Ichigo to become stronger, not be finished off.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Doesn't seem to possess any malice, fights to protect his allies and would rather not fight at all. Motivation? Practically the same thing as any shonen protagonist. People watching his fight occasionally forget he's supposed to be the bad guy.
** The only reason why the[[BlackAndGrayMorality "good guys"]] fight him is because one of his nakama is trying to kill thousands of people. [[CaptainObvious Pretty good reason though.]]

* TokenGoodTeammate: Doesn't seem to possess any malice, fights to protect A [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstruction]] at that. The most villainous thing about Starrk is his allies and would rather not choice to fight at all. Motivation? Practically the same thing as any shonen protagonist. People watching for Aizen. Everything else about him, ranging from his fight occasionally forget he's supposed to be the bad guy.
** The only reason why the[[BlackAndGrayMorality "good guys"]] fight him is because one of
actions and even his nakama personality [[MinionWithAnFInEvil don't quite match up to his teammates.]] Despite this, Shunsui makes it clear that since it is trying to kill thousands a war, he wouldn't hold back in punches despite how nice of people. [[CaptainObvious Pretty good reason though.a guy Starrk may be. [[spoiler: True enough, Starrk ends up getting killed off.]]
