Adjuchas

Biodata

Power Progression

Biology and Evolution

• Adjuchas rank above Gillians and below Vast Lordes. Most cannot reach the upper rank regardless of how much they devour; injury inflicted by another Adjuchas can also prevent that evolution 139.
• Adjuchas risk regressing if they do not devour others of their rank. According to Grimmjow, one that regresses loses its consciousness and cannot evolve back into a conscious Adjuchas 206.
• Strength varies within the rank: some Adjuchas can rival captains, while the strongest exceed ordinary captains 145.

Abilities and Traits

Spiritual pressure and Cero

• An Adjuchas appearing over Karakura Town pins Rukia to the ground with its spiritual pressure; she doubts that even a captain could claim certain victory over it 146.
• The same Adjuchas prepares a Cero capable of leveling part of the town. After Mu Yu moves their fight to the outskirts, it fires a Cero that he stops with one hand 146 147.

Intelligence and identity

• Unlike most Gillians, Adjuchas have developed consciousness and can retain distinct identities and loyalties 139 148.
• An Adjuchas can recognize a threat and change its actions: the masked, centipede-bodied one withdraws its Cero after Mu Yu makes it fear the blast will detonate inside its body 146.

Notable Adjuchas

• Starrk — a peak Adjuchas and Hueco Mundo vanguard officer with a slight possibility of becoming a Vast Lorde. He refuses Mu Yu’s offer of a head start rather than flee his assignment 148.
• Barragan Luisenbarn — was a peak Adjuchas when he first subdued Starrk and recruited him 149.
• Grimmjow — had reached peak Adjuchas before becoming an Arrancar; Aizen nevertheless judges him unable to defeat Mu Yu 202.
• Void — was close to becoming a Vast Lorde before her forced Arrancar transformation left her with almost no memory or consciousness. Her final act removes a seal from Mu Yu 201 206 207.
• Bawabawa — an Adjuchas in the Forest of Menos associated with hunting the Shinigami Ashido Kano 203.
