Mayuri Kurotsuchi - The Madness Scientis!

It take day for me to think what to write. After read 2 3 times last manga chapter and some deep thinking, then I got the answer.... I'm gonna write about Mayu Kurotsuchi 12th Division in Gotai 13! why I choose to write about him this time, easy cos his new appearence! I try to do some research and find some answer on the web, but nothing much I get. Nevermind, a little bit info also count INFO rite.. maybe some of you know much, then you all can share it here...

Who is Mayuri?
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is 12th division in gotei 13 and 2 president of the Shinigami research institute after Kisuke Urahara, former captain and president. Mayuri character was created by Tite Kubo and his voiced by Ryusei Nakao(Japanese) and Terrence Stone(English). His zanlakutou name is Ashisogi Jizo.

From what I got from internet, Mayuri face like other human. He has blue hair and yellow eye when unmasked. I think unmasked not suitable, cos what I think he not wearing mask, that is his face now... He done many modification on his body, he no more normal shinigami. His ear can take off and used as weapon, so impossible when he take off his mask, his ear look normal as other else.... here some Mayuri pic start from his human face to latest 1. For the unmasked face, I'm not really sure is it true or not.... I just get it from wikipedia.



Mayuri has performed various experiments on himself, some of which include upgrading certain body parts to function as weapons or giving him otherwise useful abilities. His left arm can extend out like a grappling hook and he is able to pull part of his ear out to form a scythe attached to a rope-like ligament for use as a kusarigama. He can also blend into his environment with some sort of covering that flakes away once he reveals himself.

From last anime episode, on scene he fight with Ishida. Mayuri body able to tranform into liquid blob-like entity, unable to be attacked or attack when he is defeated. By stabbing himself with his zanpakutou he is later able to reconstitute himself, at which point his wounds are healed.

Kurotsuchi's last name is one of the few shinigami names in Bleach which uses kanji based on the meaning of the name and not the sound. 'Kurotsuchi' means black soil (kuro - black; tsuchi - soil).

History
From the wikipedia, it is mention that Mayuri succeeded Kisuke Uraha in leading the research institute as well as 12th division captain. Nah.. I don't think he great than Urahara.. Here my poin why Uraha great than him. 1st Urahara has created the Ord of Distortion. 2nd. Urahara has shorten the time frame from 3 month to 1 month only so the captain level can enter Hueco Mundo with full strengt. If Mayuri more genius than Kisuke, than he could suppress the time.

Mayuri Zanpakutou - Ashisogi Jizo
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's zanpakuto is Ashisogi Jizo ( Ksitigarbha's Killer Head, though it has been translated differently, Viz: Leg-Cutting Jizo ). Ksitigarbha is a bodhisattva that watches over children and the underworld. In Japan, where he is known as Jizo, he looks rather like a baby dressed as a Buddhist monk; Mayuri's zanpakuto has what looks like a giant baby's head on it. Its hilt is wrapped in cloth, and has several spiky protrusions sticking out right below the blade, which appear to resemble leaves. Unlike most shinigami, his zanpakuto's sheath hangs directly in front of him, instead of to his side as they are commonly worn. Ashisogi Jizo's shikai command is "rip" ( kakimushire, can also be translated as "scratch out", Viz: "go get him", English TV: "claw out").

In its shikai, Ashisogi Jizo transforms into a deformed trident with curved, serpentine blades and a guard shaped like a baby's head (as Ksitigarbha is depicted), all mounted on his sword's normal hilt. The baby's mouth secretes a poisonous vapor in this form. The weapon works like the venom of a spider bite; when an opponent is stabbed by Ashisogi Jizo, it severs the brain signals controlling the neural impulses for movement in the limb it strikes—simply put, it paralyzes whichever arm or leg it cuts. If struck on the spine, the victim is left unable to control any limb. Unlike regular paralysis, the pain receptors and nerve endings are unaffected by the weapon, so the victim can still feel pain, even in a paralyzed limb. During the Bount arc, it is shown that healing the stab wound does not immediately remove the inflicted paralysis.


Mayuri Kurotsuchi's bankai.Ashisogi Jizo's bankai, named Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo (Golden Ashisogi Jizo; Viz: Divine Leg-Cutting Jizo), returns Mayuri's zanpakuto to its sealed state and produces a giant caterpillar in a red cape with a grotesque baby's head and a silver halo. The creature breathes a poisonous derivative of Mayuri's blood which is lethal to anyone who breathes it, aside from Mayuri and Nemu. Numerous blades can also extend from its chest, allowing it to run through and skewer opponents. Only Mayuri has a cure for its poison, though Nemu usually carries it around.
