The Espada (十刃, (エスパーダ), Esupāda; Spanish for "Sword", Japanese for "Ten Blades") are the top-ranked Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army of Hollow-Shinigami hybrids, are the most powerful Hollows under Aizen's command, and are the main rivals of the Gotei 13. *From bleach wiki*

Espada isn't a new type of hollow it just a title to Separate them from normal Arrancar, like calling someone Elite Guards. They not a different being they are just VERY VERY good at what they do, so Espada are just high powered, better trained, and HIGHLY dangerous Arrancar.

Also the creatures that are around before Aizen were more commonly known as Pseudo-Arrancar, so ya a device of some sort would be needed to make full Arrancar.

As for the Azien thing, eh not sure how to go about it. Will need to edit my char if it is changed due to how it in my history 8small part really though*

To explain the machine or the item or what ever just say that the Pseudo-Arrancar made it themselves to be used to help them fight one other and the Shinigami. Humans made nukes to kill one another, makes sense that the Pseudo-Arrancar would make a device that would cause them to be more powerful.

This is if we go with the waring tribes thing Haji suggested.....I kinda like that waring tribe thing, helps mix it up and adds a more complex problem to deal with than a single force.

I hope me saying this was okay and I didn't do something stupid......oh and umm sorry if I misunderstood the topic and you were just debating on keeping the title for some reason.....*hides*

HAHA, it's actually fine Victor, we always like ideas.

But im tired of debating, so im just offering a bribe instead.

Were not having espada, if you havent realized it already, Espada is just a fancy way of calling arrancar's in uniform. Aizen came up with the Espada system, so Espada should not exist if Aizen doesnt.

But that doesnt mean something similar could exist.

So i thought of something, similar that is.

10 Hueco Mundo Kingdoms in place of 10 espadas. All have there own land, and number, if they like to keep it, but they dont follow anyone, they're just rulers and could do what they like with there piece of land.

All are equal of course, but if you fill up a CAR, it would make a difference.

Hows that?

10 deadly armed Arrancar, I was thinking why not make it like a zanpaktou ability where it speeds up the process of aging and evolution and added with technology we could create a new kind of Arrancar or Vasto Lordes but yeah I agree with what you said Ruru, that seems like a good idea, each one has there own island or w/e and have there own armies and every so often a war will happen to see which one rules the strongest.

Pardon, but if this continues I'll simply start forming an espada myself. Makes sense, considering what the Dream Sphyre project is. That, and it'd be fun to start a genocide. Ahhh c'est la vie.

Although I have to say, expanding without forming a member base so that each of the 'kingdoms' per say would only have one person? Bad idea. Only minor conflict at best, with the personages themselves being restricted by their individual desires and goals rather than being a united force that allows for a balance to the overwhelming power of the gotei in whatever shape and form. After all, without the unity of arrancar to face the teamwork shinigami and the Hueco Mundo model that kept them from working together to destroy the Espada, they would be hard pressed to survive.

After all, it is a shinigami's duty to destroy them and send their souls to their rightful place! If you had an entire race of soul empowered beings with weapons specifically designed to kill your entire people, I doubt surviving apart would be a feasible option.

But! That's just me...

If Orks *Warhammer thing* can go around killing one another and fighting everyone else, I'm sure hollows can too and anyway. I think the top 10 would be willing to work together long enough to force the shinigami back before going at each other again, fighting amongst themselves will be very good training for them and their forces anyway.

Technically Orcs don't kill each other... they stick together and kill others... I know quiet alot about orcs xD Sorry just wanted to slip that in >.< But I must agree with Rioshi. The dream sphyere is practically a prototype Hogyoku, one in the making.

Now that's a suggestion, someone taking credit for creation... But while it's still incomplete, i dont see any other suggestion regarding what exists before them.

I'll keep the 10 kingdoms idea on the plate (i doubt it would be filled anyway, only 2-3 could exist to anyone's knowledge.)
