Sado is a teenager of Mexican
descent with wavy brown hair that generally hangs over his brown eyes.
He is a muscular and extremely tall man and appears to be much older
than he actually is. Sado has a tattoo on his left shoulder which reads Amore e Morte ("love and death" in Italian) and consists of a heart with a snake and angel wings around it.[1]
He typically wears either his school uniform or flashy short sleeved
shirts with open collars. He also wears a dark, long-sleeved shirt with a
rose emblazoned on the left sleeve. Seventeen months after Aizen's
defeat, Sado has grown a small goatee on his chin.
Sado is a quiet person and is sometimes the subject of jokes or
bullies because he never fights back. Nonetheless, he is treated equally
within his group of friends in Karakura. Sado also has a soft spot for
cute things, like small animals and Kon's plushie form.[5] Sado has also shown to be very intelligent; he ranked 11th out of 322 students in Karakura High School.[6]
Sado has a very loyal personality. He is quite loyal to his friends,
especially Ichigo, who is one of his closest friends, even going as far
as to try and defeat a Gotei 13
captain to go help him. He is also shown to be fearless and told so by
numerous enemies such as the first Hollow he fights. He displays little
emotion except when something he cares about is in danger.
Sado's favorite food is tomatoes. He also likes music, but rarely watches TV. The only programs he likes are Carnivore Kingdom, which starts at 8 a.m. on Sundays. He likes it so much that he bought the DVDs for it.[7] As Kon is a cheap knock-off plushie of the main character of Carnivore Kingdom, Sado finds Kon especially cute. The other show he likes is Don Kanonji's Ghost Bust. Sado also has a bass guitar.[8]
Sado was born in Okinawa, Japan, but was taken to Mexico by his parents at a young age. After their deaths, Sado was adopted at the age of eight by Oscar Joaquín de la Rosa, a man believed to be his grandfather since Sado calls him Abuelo ("Grandfather" in Spanish).[9]
During his early years, Sado was extremely violent; exploiting
his advantage in size, he intimidated and hit any other children who
annoyed him. Oscar Joaquín tried to teach Sado to be gentle, but was
initially unsuccessful.[9]
One day, the fathers of the children Sado fought, seeking to punish
him, attacked Sado. Oscar Joaquín stepped in between them, taking Sado's
punishment without retaliation. Sado was inspired by this example to
become a decent person. To commemorate this event, Oscar Joaquín gave
Sado a old Mexican coin; years later, when Oscar Joaquín had died, Sado
made a vow that he would never fight unless it was to protect others, as
instructed — even if his own life was in danger.[10] The coin would come to symbolize this vow, which Sado now claims to hold more value than his own life.[9] Ichigo risking his life to protect Sado's coin.
Some time after De la Rosa died Chad moved back to Japan and entered
Mashiba Junior High School at Karakura Town. In the 8th grade[11] he helped Ichigo when the latter was attacked by thugs. Chad was later attacked by two of Yokochini's gang members and, keeping with his vow, did not strike back or defend himself.[12]
Ichigo intervened and saved him and later learned from Chad a little
about his past, the meaning of the coin and the vow he made. However, as
the gang members fled they left a cell phone with an ongoing call to
Yokochini, allowing him to spy on Chad and learn what might get a rise
out of him. Yokochini later had Chad abducted and threatened him with
the destruction of the coin. Ichigo stuck his neck out again, this time
to protect not only Chad, but also the coin he held so dear. When the
gang was defeated, Chad and Ichigo made a pact to fight for each other
and protect one another.[13]
Because they were constantly involved with fights and brawls with
thugs and delinquents, both Ichigo and Chad gained the reputation of
hardened thugs themselves. Their reputation far exceeded that of violent
youths as they were made up to be juvenile gangsters of sorts. On their
first day of high school, Chad and Ichigo were forced into pushing back
a gang of thugs led by Reiichi Ōshima, who was hell bent on proving his bravado by beating up such a menacing duo. When Mizuiro Kojima befriended them, Reiichi started bullying Keigo Asano, forcing the two to help him and beat up Reiichi.[14]
Sado is offered a cockatiel by his friends, but he's told that it's a
cursed cockatiel whose previous owners have all died horrible deaths.
Just as he takes it, a girder falls on the group and it falls on top of
Sado's back. The bird suddenly begins talking as if it understands the
situation so Sado begins conversing with it.[15] Later as Ichigo Kurosaki is about to get into a fight with Reiichi Ōshima,
Sado intervenes and pushes Reiichi away. Sado's friends notice his
injuries and Sado explains what happened to him. Sado then shows the
group his new cockatiel, but he doesn't explain where he got it from.[16] Sado's wound.
Later an injured Sado arrives at the Kurosaki Clinic
along with his cockatiel and he is shown to have a terrible wound on
his back. However, Sado claims that he's fine and tries to leave, but he
ends up collapsing on the ground before getting anywhere, and he begins
resting in bed.[17] Sado then leaves the hospital without telling anyone.[18]
He reappears in an abandoned warehouse with his cockatiel, but they're
suddenly attacked by something and Sado begins running away with his
bird, while telling the bird that he'll save his mother. As soon as he
comes outside, Sado notices Rukia and Ichigo and he begins running from them.[19] Sado slams Shrieker into the ground.
He stops running though when he notices that Rukia is in trouble and
he goes back to help. He immediately punches the invisible threat, named
Shrieker,
surprising Rukia. Rukia then warns Sado that Shrieker is flying, but
Sado doesn't see it as a problem as he picks up a telephone poll and
uses it to slam Shrieker into the ground.[20]
Sado and Rukia are suddenly forced into the ground by Shrieker's
"artillery", but Sado simply uses his brute strength to get them off.
Sado then helps out Rukia just as Shrieker flies into the air again.
However, Sado launches Rukia into the air but she's stopped by
Shrieker's miniature bombs. Shrieker then brings out Sado's cockatiel
and threatens to kill the bird if Sado moves, so Rukia is forced to
fight alone.[21]
Later Sado notices that Ichigo's body is on the ground, but Rukia
explains that Ichigo is in the middle of a battle and she tells him to
take his body and the cockatiel away.[22]
After the battle is over and it's revealed that the cockatiel is
actually a kid, the cockatiel thanks Sado for everything, and just
before he is sent to Soul Society Sado tells him that if they meet in Soul Society he'll carry him around one more time.[23] Sado and his friends at Don Kanonji's show.
During school Sado shows his friends his cockatiel again but they
notice that it has a smaller vocabulary. Sado simply claims that the
bird was like this when he woke up.[24] Later Sado goes with his friends to Don Kanonji's show.[25] While there Sado hears a strange voice but Keigo tells him that it's just his imagination.[26] As the show goes on Ichigo gets captured by security and Sado tries to help him, but Keigo stops him.[27] After Don Kanonji's show, Sado and the rest of his classmates that were at the show are yelled at by Kagine for causing such a ruckus at the show.[28] Rukia distracts Kagine, allowing Sado and the others escape through a window.[29] Sado attacking Bulbous G after gaining new powers.
Later Sado gets attacked by a Hollow named Bulbous G, and he runs away to lead the Hollow away from the area.[30] Unfortunately, he ends up running into Karin Kurosaki, Ichigo's sister, and this forces Sado to protect her.[31]
Sado, being unable to see the Hollow, decides to have Karin help him by
having her be his eyes. As the battle goes on Sado recalls that his
fists are meant for protecting, and this causes armor to form around his
right arm and allows him to gain the advantage.[32]
Sado, now being able to see the Hollow, kills his enemy immediately
with his new-found power. Sado then collapses onto the ground and
wonders why he gained this power, but decides it doesn't matter and is
simply glad Ichigo's sister didn't get hurt.[33] Urahara explains about Shinigami and Hollows to Sado and Orihime.
Sado later appears with Orihime at the Urahara Shop, and Urahara prepares to explain how they got their new-found powers.[34] Urahara explains about Hollows and Shinigami,
but Sado and Orihime have a difficult time believing him. Urahara then
tells them that Ichigo's large amount of reiatsu leaked onto them and
that caused them to gain their powers, and that these powers are what
they naturally had to begin with.[35]
Urahara then states that it's up to them if they want to continue down
this path with their powers, and decides to show them the enemies that
they'll have to face in the future.[36] Sado and Orihime then watch from a distance Ichigo and Uryū battling a Menos Grande. This causes the two of them to wonder what choice they should make.[37] Yoruichi, Sado, and Orihime try to recruit Uryū
After Rukia is taken back to Soul Society to be executed, a cat named Yoruichi Shihōin goes up to Orihime and Sado and offers to train the two of them so they can rescue her.[38] Sado and Orihime then go up to Uryū and ask him if he'll train with them as well, but he declines.[39] The two then begin training and try to bring out their new powers again.[40] After successfully doing this, the two leave and prepare to go to Soul Society.[41] On the day they decide to leave for Soul Society, Sado, Ichigo, Orihime, and Uryū arrive at the Urahara Shop.[42] After Urahara explains how to get into Soul Society, Yoruichi leads the group into the Dangai, and they're told to run as fast as they can.[43] Sado and the others are soon chased by the Kōtotsu, so Orihime uses her shield to protect them from the Janitor and the group is propelled through the exit and into Soul Society.[44]
After arriving in Soul Society the group is immediately met by opposition as Jidanbō Ikkanzaka blocks the gate into Seireitei.[45] Ichigo is able to defeat him, but the group is still stopped from entering Seireitei when Captain Gin Ichimaru arrives and closes the gate on them.[46] The people of Rukongai suddenly come out and one of them is revealed to be Shibata, Sado's cockatiel from before.[47]
Sado carries him around like he promised to do, and he's told that
Shibata has yet to find his mother, so Sado encourages him to keep
looking.[48] The group then tries to figure out a new way into Seireitei, so Yoruichi brings them to Kūkaku Shiba,
whose fireworks specialty helps launch Sado and the others into the
Seireitei through a spirit cannon. While successfully entering, the
group becomes separated from each other. [49] Sado defeats Tatsufusa in a single blow.
In Seireitei Shinigami begin looking for Sado, who is hiding nearby.[50] Sado then finds some Shinigami from the 11th Division and goes to fight them.[51]
Later, Sado wakes up in an abandoned warehouse after having a dream of
when he first met Ichigo, and he hears some Shinigami coming for him,
causing him to prepare for battle.[52] Sado then forces information out of some Shinigami on where Rukia is being held and heads to her location.[53] On the way there he is confronted by the third seat of the 8th Division, Tatsufusa Enjōji, but he easily defeats him with a single punch. Sado is then confronted by Shunsui Kyōraku, captain of the 8th Division.[54] Sado attacks Shunsui.
Sado and Shunsui talk for a bit and try to avoid battling each other,
but they soon realize that they must battle and the two begin their
fight.[55]
Shunsui quickly overwhelms Sado with his quick reflexes and Shunsui
wonders why Sado came to Soul Society, and Sado tells him that it was
because Ichigo wants to save Rukia and that's good enough for him. This
causes Shunsui to draw his dual Zanpakutō, and Sado charges in for one
final attack. [56] However, Shunsui stabs Sado across his stomach and easily defeats him.[57] Shunsui then decides to put Sado into the detention center.[58] Sado and the other's notice the execution beginning.
While in jail, Sado is reunited with Uryū and Ganju, and Sado states that they must wait for Ichigo to rescue them. [59] Later, Captain Kenpachi Zaraki arrives with Orihime to rescue Sado and the others.[60]
After escaping, Sado and the others continue through Seireitei, but
they run into difficulties when they're confronted by two captains and
two lieutenants. [61] Kenpachi decides to fight them all alone, so Sado and the others continue on.[62] As they run, the group notices the execution for Rukia finally beginning.[63] Sado and the others finally arrive at Rukia's execution site, Sōkyoku Hill, and are informed by Yachiru Kusajishi that Rukia has already escaped and that Ichigo is currently fighting.[64] Sado and the others depart from Soul Society.
After Ichigo's battle is over, Sado and the others run up and tend to him.[65] Later, Sado and everyone else in Seireitei, through the use of Kidō, are informed that Aizen is the one behind all the conspiracies going on, and they realize that Aizen is going to kill Rukia. [66]
A week after Aizen's betrayal, Uryū makes clothes for Sado and Orihime
that resemble the ones they had when they first entered Soul Society.[67] Sado and the others then leave Soul Society and go back to the Human World.[68] Upon arriving in the Human World, Sado is brought back to his home by Kisuke Urahara.[69]
Sado returns to his everyday life and goes back to school. After school, he talks with Orihime
about their time in Soul Society and that they'll have to get stronger
in order to be useful to Ichigo. Later, Sado and the others find Orihime
at her house being kidnapped.[70] It turns out a little girl
is behind the kidnapping and she gives them several tests to complete.
After completing these tests, the group finds Orihime back at her house.
However, it ends up being a trap and Sado is captured by the enemy.[71] Later, Sado is used as part of the final test for Ichigo and the others to complete, but it turns out that everything was Urahara's idea to test the group and that Sado knew about it once he was captured. Yoruichi suddenly appears and informs the group of a new threat called the Bount.[72]
At the Urahara Shop,
Sado is given the mod-soul Noba to help him in finding the Bount. After
putting the mod-soul in a stuffed animal, Sado searches for a Bount
with Orihime, Kurōdo, and Noba. They end up finding a killed Human and a
Bount named Ryō Utagawa, but he immediately leaves the area.[73] Sado and the others find Rukia
with Ichigo and they reunite with her. Later during school the
mod-souls sense a Bount in the area and they head towards the trace of
it. Sado and the others find Ryō and they begin fighting with him.[74] However, the battle is interrupted by another Bount named Yoshino Sōma
and she takes Uryū away. The group later hears that Uryū is in the
hospital so Sado and the others go to where he is and they talk with
him.[75] Sado and the others looking for both Uryū and the Bount.
During the stay at the hospital, the group is eventually attacked by two young Bount named Hō and Ban. The group is able to fight them off for a bit and they are able to escape outside.[76] Eventually, the group is able to take care of the two young Bount with the sudden arrival of Ganju.[77]
Immediately after the battle, Sado and the others find that Uryū is
missing again, so they look for Uryū. After figuring out the Bount live
at a mansion they head over to said mansion.[78] After Uryū is rescued from the mansion, Sado and the others head back to the Urahara Shop.[79] Later, the group decides to look for the Bount and Sado is paired up with Noba to search for them.[80] As they look, Ururu appears to them but as this happens they are confronted by the Bount Sawatari.[81] Ururu saves Sado from Baura.
Rangiku Matsumoto
appears to help out the group as well and they all start fighting
Sawatari. Sado and the others have difficulty against Sawatari's Doll
and they soon create an opportunity to escape. As they wonder what to
do, Sawatari reappears and has his Doll attack Sado, but Sado is pushed
out of the way by Ururu, who ends up taking his blow and is eaten. The
group escapes again and they come up with a plan to save Ururu. However,
the plan is unsuccessful.[82]
After running away again the group then comes up with a successful plan
that ends with Sado punching Baura in the stomach, causing him to throw
up everything it has eaten, including Ururu. However, Sawatari still
survives and he escapes with his doll, leaving the battle undecided.[83] After resting at the Urahara Shop, Sado and the others head to the Bount Cave to confront the Bount.[84] They head into the cave, but they are soon attacked by Ugaki's Doll Gesell. After battling it and being saved by Rangiku, Ichigo tells Sado to protect Orihime as she heals Rukia and Rangiku.[85]
Sado reappears with Uryū and the others at the location of the
Bount inside the cave. However, the Bount end up leaving to Soul Society
with the help of Uryū's powers, so Sado and the others head to Soul
Society to stop the Bount.[86] Upon arriving in Soul Society, the group heads to Kūkaku Shiba's house. After talking with her, Sado splits up with everyone to look for the Bount again.[87]
After Rukia is attacked by the Bount, Sado heads back to the Shiba
Household and Ganju appears. Sado and the others ride on his boars to
head to Kusjishi due to rumors of the Bount being there.[88] In a forest Ganju introduces the Kushjishi Bulls to Sado and Orihime,[89]
and after talking with them for a bit Sado and the others leave for
Seireitei and on the way there Sado reunites with everyone but they are
soon blocked by Maki Ichinose. However, the arrival Kenpachi allows Sado and the others to head onto Seireitei.[90]
Upon arriving at Seireitei they find it already being attacked by the Bount, and Sado splits up with Noba to look for the Bount.[91] Sado later reunites with Ichigo and the two of them head after Jin Kariya.
The two find Kariya and fight him but Sado is quickly pushed aside by
Kariya. Sado then watches on as Kariya combines with the Jōkaishō and
declares his plans.[92] Sado and Ichigo later find an injured Uryū and they decide to help heal him.[93] They head to the 10th Division barracks and Orihime arrives and begins healing Uryū.[94]
As Ichigo and Kariya are having their final fight, Sado and the others
decide to head towards Ichigo's location to help him out.[95]
Upon arriving, Rukia stops them from helping out since this is Ichigo's
fight. After the battle concludes and Kariya is defeated, Sado and the
others run up to Ichigo and congratulate him.[96] Sado then heads back to Karakura Town along with everyone else.[97]
After returning from Soul Society, Sado's life goes back to normal and he returns to school.[98]
During school, Ichigo's Substitute Shinigami Badge goes off, signifying
that a Hollow is in the area, prompting Sado to leave with Orihime and
Ichigo to defeat it.[99] After the Hollow is easily defeated by Ichigo he tells Sado and Orihime that they didn't need to come and help.[100] Later, Sado is in class again and after Ichigo leaves again, he tells the new transfer student named Shinji Hirako that this is how Ichigo always is.[101] Sado is defeated by Yammy.
Sado and Orihime later interrupt a fight between Shinji and a girl named Hiyori Sarugaki and they ask them what they want with Ichigo.[102]
However, after Hiyori threatens to kill them Shinji takes Hiyori away
from the area and Orihime tries to go after them but Sado stops her
explaining that they'll just get killed.[103] Sado and Orihime later sense an enormous spiritual pressure around the area.[104]
They run to where it's coming from and after seeing several people dead
on the ground, Sado tells Orihime that he needs her healing.[105] Later, Sado saves Tatsuki from an Arrancar named Yammy Llargo. Sado tells Orihime to run away with Tatsuki, but Yammy attacks Sado and knocks him out.[106] Ichigo stops Di Roy Rinker from killing Sado.
Sado is later shown looking out of a window and healing from his injuries.[107] He later gets up and leaves but is confronted by the Arrancar Di Roy Rinker, but Ichigo appears and saves him.[108]
Sado reluctantly runs away after Ichigo tells him to and Sado thinks to
himself that he'll never be able to help Ichigo anymore.[109] Sado then goes to the Urahara Shop and begs Kisuke Urahara to train him,[110] so Urahara has Sado train against Renji while he uses his Bankai.[111][112]
Later as Sado continues training, Urahara tells Orihime that he won't
allow her to fight in the upcoming battles, so Sado begins arguing with
Urahara since Orihime is his comrade. However Orihime tells Sado that
she's fine with not fighting and leaves.[113]
When Espada-level Arrancar attack Karakura Town, Sado tries to go and fight but Urahara decides that he'll go himself.[114] Later when Orihime is kidnapped by Aizen and taken to Hueco Mundo,
Sado and Uryū decide to head to Hueco Mundo with Ichigo to save her,
and Sado demonstrates how powerful he has gotten to Ichigo.[115] Urahara then opens up a Garganta and the three of them enter and head to Hueco Mundo.[116]
After going through the Garganta, the group arrives in a building and a mysterious enemy immediately confronts the group.[117] The group runs away and they eventually reach a much wider room, but are immediately surround by Aisslinger Wernarr and Demoura Zodd.[118]
Sado begins fighting Aisslinger but struggles against his opponent, so
he switches opponents with Uryū and begins battling Demoura.[119] Sado quickly overwhelms his opponent[120] and then prepares to use El Directo against Demoura.[121]
Upon using the attack Demoura is killed but the room suddenly begins to
collapse in on itself and the group quickly escapes. Sado and the
others get outside and they appear in a vast desert-like area. They then
notice Las Noches in the distance, and believing Orihime is there, they begin heading towards it.[122] Sado and the others decide to split up from each other.
The group then rests a bit but they soon see a girl running from some Hollows and they go to save her.[123] The group then saves the girl but it turns out that she was really a Hollow that was playing with her friends.[124] After she introduces herself as Nel Tu, Sado and the others ride her pet Bawabawa to Las Noches but they're quickly confronted by a Hollow named Runuganga. Before the Hollow can kill them though Rukia and Renji appear and kill the Hollow.[125] Everyone then heads to Las Noches and upon reaching the palace they break through one of the walls.[126] They then eventually reach a room that splits off into five paths and the group decides to separate from each other.[127] Sado fighting Gantenbainne after the true power in his two arms are released.
Sado reaches a room and is confronted by a Privaron Espada named Gantenbainne Mosqueda.[128]
Sado is quickly overwhelmed by his opponent, but after being hit by a
barrage of attacks Sado's armored arm changes into a new form that he
calls Brazo Derecha de Gigante[129]
Sado states that his powers have gotten stronger in Hueco Mundo because
his powers are more Hollow like than anything else. Sado then quickly
overwhelms his opponent, forcing Gantenbainne into activating his Resurrección.
Gantenbainne sends a powerful attack towards his opponent, but Sado is
uninjured and Sado tells Gantenbainne that his right arms power is for
defending, while his left arms power is for attacking, and his left arm
is shown in a new form that he calls Brazo Izquierda del Diablo.[130] Sado's blow is blocked by Tesra.
Sado uses La Muerte and defeats Gantenbainne, but spares him
and says that because of Gantenbainne he can now fight stronger enemies.
However, he is immediately confronted by the Espada Nnoitra Gilga and is attacked.[131] Sado then falls to the ground defeated and is mocked by his opponent.[132] Sado gets back up though and charges towards Nnoitra, but his blow is blocked by Tesra Lindocruz and Sado falls down unconscious.[133] Sado is later healed by Unohana Retsu.[134] Sado then goes with Renji and Rukia and fights against the Exequias so Ichigo can pass through and save Orihime.[135]
The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai arc (anime only)Edit
Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
As Ichigo fights several Hollows Sado appears alongside Uryū and Orihime and they help defeat the Hollows.[136] Later, assassins are sent into the Human World to kill Rurichiyo Kasumiōji, and Sado is attacked by one of these assassins. Sado easily fends him off though with his armored arm.[137] After this failed attempt, stronger assassins are sent into the Human World and Sado is confronted by the assassin Genga.[138] Sado clashes with Genga.
Sado leads Genga outside of Karakura Town and he tries to convince
Genga that they don't have to fight, but the assassin doesn't listen.
Sado is initially overpowered by Genga's Bakkōtō but after using the
true form of his armored arm he is able to fight on even-ground with
him. However, Genga fuses with the walls formed from his Bakkōtō and
attacks Sado.[139]
Sado initially has trouble with Genga while he is fused to the walls,
but Sado eventually uses his brute strength to pull the assassin out.
After battling a bit more, Sado brings out the true power of his left
arm and uses La Muerte to kill Genga, but Sado falls down unconcious in the process.[140] Sado is later shown resting at the Urahara Shop.[141]
Sado and Renji fight several Hollows together but the Hollows are endless.[142] Later, the Hollow Battikaroa emerges and gives Sado and Renji a hard time with his Cero
and instant regeneration. Though Sado constantly annoys Renji with his
quiet nature, in the end, the two finally learn how to work together and
kill Battikaroa by Sado using his La Muerte to distract the Hollow and Renji finishing him off for good with his Bankai.[143]
Sado and the others are then confronted by Yammy Llargo and prepare to fight, but are interrupted by Ichigo's immense reiatsu coming from above the dome.[144]
After the reiatsu disappears, the group decides that since they have
fought stronger Espada before they shouldn't be worried in facing the
weakest of them. However, Yammy goes into his Resurrección
causing his Espada tattoo to turn into #0 and he reveals that he's
actually the strongest Espada, and he attacks Sado and the others.[145] Later, Sado is shown to have been knocked out by Yammy.[146] Sado and the others greet Ichigo after his victory against Aizen.
Sometime after Aizen is sealed away by Urahara, Sado arrives along
with Uryū, Orihime, Rukia, and Renji to the Soul Society. Sado's left
arm and head are bandaged as the group greets Ichigo. When Ichigo
suddenly collapses, Sado, Uryū, Renji, Rukia, and Orihime run toward him
and find him screaming.[147]
Later, Sado along with Orihime, Uryū, and Rukia, are by Ichigo's bedside
as he wakes up. Rukia explains he's been unconscious for a month and
details the loss of his Shinigami powers. Sado along with the rest of
the group is present to see Ichigo's farewell to Rukia as she fades from
Ichigo's sight once his spiritual energy disappears.[148]
When Rukia's Zanpakutō Sode no Shirayuki
materializes and attacks Ichigo in the Human World, Sado appears at the
Urahara Shop with the others to discuss what is going on.[149] Later, Muramasa arrives in Karakura Town after learning that his master was sealed there and Sado and Uryū arrive after Orihime heals him.[150] Sado and Uryū both fight Muramasa together, but Senbonzakura
interrupts the fight and separates Uryū from the battle. Muramasa
subsequently invades Sado's mind and manages to subdue him. Sado later
recovers to fight off Muramasa's Hollows in order for Rukia to go after Muramasa.[151]
When Muramasa transforms into a Hollow and goes on a rampage,
Sado goes to protect his friends, his armored arm barely able to repel
Muramasa's attacks. When Muramasa's power rises again by drawing in more
Hollows, Sado joins Uryū in destroying the Hollows.[152]
As Ichigo continues to fight Muramasa, the rogue Zanpakutō goes through
another transformation; this time into a dome-like structure that
engulfs Ichigo. While Sado and his friends are unsure what to do,
several Shinigami arrive to help. After the Shinigami destroy the
Hollows and Muramasa's dome collapses, Ichigo emerges with a defeated
and dying Muramasa, who apologizes for his mistakes before fading away.[153]
As Sado is out with Uryū and Orihime, Rukia and Ichigo pass overhead.
Orihime asks if they need help, but they decline her offer. Uryū notes
that Ichigo has not undergone any changes and Sado states that because
Rukia remained in Karakura Town, Ichigo has not had to expend more reiatsu than necessary.[154]
As Inaba goes to kill Uryū, Sado crashes down with an attack, forcing
Inaba back. Inaba activates his Shikai and strikes Sado before he can
react, badly wounding him. Inaba goes to finish him but Orihime blocks
the attack.[155]
After Inaba is forced to retreat, Sado joins Ichigo and Uryū at a table
in the Urahara shop while Orihime assesses Nozomi's condition. As
Ichigo then goes to a meeting with the members of the Gotei 13, Sado
helps Orihime set up a barbecue for Nozomi. After Nozomi is saved from
the reigai Rangiku Matsumoto, he joins in at the barbecue.[156] Sado teams up with Renji to take on his reigai counterpart.
Again, Sado joins Ichigo and Orihime in searching for Nozomi when she goes wandering around Karakura Town a second time.[157] While looking, he wonders, with Orihime, if Nozomi keeps leaving because she knows of a way to rectify the current situation.[158]
After Orihime senses the Shinigami losing, she and Sado go to help as
Ichigo searches for Nozomi. They are confronted by Reigai-Renji whom
Sado begins to battle as Orihime goes to heal their comrades. In his
battle, Sado struggles and is soon aided by the real Renji. Working
together, they manage to defeat the Reigai.[159] Sado later joins everyone at the Urahara shop as they look up the news on the events in Soul Society.[160]
After Urahara informs everyone that Ichigo's reiatsu has disappeared,
Sado later questions Urahara again but he simply repeats what he said.
As Nozomi then blames herself, Kon says it will take more than that to
kill Ichigo and Sado adds that it was Ichigo's idea to go so she cannot
blame herself.[161]
Sado is present when Urahara states that he still cannot detect
Ichigo's reiatsu. After Urahara successfully picks up on a reading, he
tells Sado and the others to accompany him.[162]
After Ichigo wakes up abruptly, Sado and the rest of his friends greet
him. Later, Sado sits down alongside Urahara, who explains the reasoning
behind Inaba's research into the Dangai.[163] Sado then participates in a meeting in Ichigo's room, where he listens to Nanao Ise
reporting on the situation in Soul Society. Later, Ichigo, Rukia, Uryū
and Sado spar with Nozomi in order to help her to awaken her Zanpakutō.
Nozomi absorbs reiatsu from their attacks and eventually succeeds
releasing her Shikai.[164] Sado prepares to help Nozomi awaken her Zanpakutō.
Having succeeded in their goal, Sado goes off to join the fight. He
finds Rangiku and Iba fighting the Reigai-Komamura. While Sado lands a
powerful blow that launches the captain reigai into a lake, he quickly
emerges with his Bankai. Sado, Rangiku, and Iba are quickly pushed back,
forcing them to regroup with the others. Sado notices that Ichigo's
reiatsu is fading again, quickly tiring him, forcing Sado to back him up
and draw the Reigai-Kenpachi's attention. Seeing how grim the situation
is, it is decides to rely in Nozomi's new Shikai, which has the power
to absorb and redirect spiritual energy into a powerful blast. They
launch their attacks on Nozomi, who then directs the accumulated energy
on the reigai, defeated all except for the Reigai-Byakuya, who then
counters with a blast of his own, knocking everyone except for Ichigo
and Nozomi out. Yamamoto arrives and quickly defeats the last reigai.[165]
Shortly afterwards, the Reigai of Kyōraku and Ukitake appear. As Uryū
and Sado recover, they are told to take the unconscious Shinigami to
Orihime so they can be healed.[166] Sado and the others welcome Ichigo back.
After Inaba manages to capture Nozomi and destroy Ichigo's remaining
reiatsu, Sado and the others are forced to regroup at Unahara's. There,
it is wondered why Inaba would constantly try to destroy Ichigo whenever
the chance presented itself, even using the Kōtotsu. Kisuke surmises
that it was because Inaba is unable to produce a reigai with Hollow
powers. Realizing that Ichigo was indeed swallowed by the Kōtotsu,
Kisuke believes they can restore Ichigo's reiatsu with his remaining
reishi still inside the Kōtotsu. Sado is present when Ichigo returns
with a sample of his reishi.[167] Afterwards, Sado and the others act as diversions in the Dangai while Ichigo and Kisuke sneak into Soul Society.[168]
Sado and the others later return to Urahara's Shop, but become
worried when they don't receive any news from Kisuke and Ichigo. Sado
and the others eventually decide to go to Soul Society, along with the
healed Shinigami. After arriving and splitting up from the Shinigami,
Sado and his friends discover Ichigo has transformed into a Hollow again
and has been subdued by a strange man that bare a resemblance to Nozomi and Inaba. Sado and the others quickly engage the man, Yushima, only to be easily defeated.[169]
After the Hollowfied Ichigo
surprisingly saves Rukia from Yushima's attack and returns to normal,
albeit deprived of his reiatsu again, Renji comes to and joins his
friends to protect Ichigo. Sado follows Uryū's lead in setting up for
his "Sprenger". While succeeding in restraining Yushima long enough to use the technique, Yushima counters with a "Hajokuri" spell to dispel the attack. Afterwards, Kon arrives and gives Ichigo a Mod Soul pill of his reishi, restoring Ichigo's powers.[170]
As Ichigo manages to fight evenly with Yushima, Kon convinces
everyone to help Ichigo. Sado and the others launch group attacks on
Yushima. Their attacks are ultimately defeated, but it give Ichigo an
opening to strike Yushima hard. After a final clash, Ichigo is able to
defeat Yushima.[171] Afterwards, Sado and the others return home.[172]
Sado is led to Xcution by Riruka Dokugamine.
As she complains about having to find Sado, she begins to get annoyed
at Sado for not speaking. Sado simply remarks that he is amazed that
Riruka could talk for so long, and Riruka begins to get more annoyed.[173] Sado eventually reaches Xcution but when he gets there he immediately spots a shocked Ichigo sitting in front of him.[174] Chad is just as surprised to see Ichigo there but does not respond to Ichigo's questions. Kūgo
asks them both to sit quietly as he explains things. He says every
Xcution member had their mothers attacked by Hollows while they were in
the womb, leaving traces of their powers which were then passed to the
children as they were born. The members of Xcution wish their powers
gone and have discovered that they can erase them by transferring them
onto a Shinigami-Human hybrid. He says Chad also has Fullbring powers
and has agreed to help restore Ichigo's powers. Ichigo asks Chad if
that's true and he approves it, saying he hasn't been able to look at
Ichigo since the latter lost his powers. He tells Ichigo not to try and
hide his passion to fight for others' protection. After hearing this,
Ichigo agrees to help.[175]
When Sado returns to the hideout with some shopping, Giriko thanks him. He asks what the box on the table is and Jackie
tells him that it is Riruka's doll house, inside which Ichigo is doing
his Fullbring training. He is stunned by this and Riruka tells him that
it is better to start quickly. She asks if he is going to join in the
complaints against her way of doing things. Sado removes the roof of the
house and tells Ichigo to that his substitute Shinigami badge is the
best thing he can think of to use for Fullbring.[176] As Ichigo is fighting Mr. Pork
in his "Full Beast Mode", Sado turns to Riruka and tells her they need
to get Ichigo out of the box. However, Giriko reveals his power "Time
Tells No Lies" and tells Sado and Riruka that that they cannot release
Ichigo until he has defeated Mr. Pork. When Ichigo is wondering how he
can use Fullbring
on his substitute badge, Sado shouts "Pride!" He goes on to explain
that his Fullbring is his skin, which he has kept pride in. Thanks to
his abuelo, he has kept this pride in his heart. He tells Ichigo to find
a time when he felt pride as a Shinigami, and his heart will activate
the badge. Sado then witnesses as Ichigo's Fullbring is released.[177] Sado and Ichigo arrive at Orihime's apartment to check on her.
Sado and Ichigo later walk back to his home. He tells Ichigo that
Orihime has been bringing him leftover bread everyday lately. Ichigo
tells Sado that she is worried about him and that he should call her.
Sado tells Ichigo that she leaves him too much and that he will give
half of it to Ichigo. But when Sado arrives at his door and reaches for
the bread, he notices something is wrong with her reiatsu and shouts at
Ichigo that something happened to her.[178] Sado warns Ichigo against calling Orihime in case the distraction causes her death.[179]
They arrive at her apartment to find Orihime stunned and alone but
unharmed. She franticly brushes off their concern with a bad lie that
causes the two of them to be suspicious with Sado later silently
agreeing with her precautions regarding Ichigo being vulnerable, and
tells him not to worry about her.[180]
Orihime walks into a pole while talking with Sado on her phone.
Sado, hearing the noise, asks if she is okay. She tells him that she is
and apologizes. She tells him that she is certain she was cut, but by
the time she came to, he and Shishigawara were gone and there was no
wound. Orihime reveals that when Sado and Ichigo arrived on the scene
she thought for a second that Tsukishima was her friend. She says that
she does not understand it and rather than mistaking him for a friend,
it felt like an old memory, leaving Sado shocked. Orihime tells him to
be careful as she believes that Tsukishima's power is scary. Sado agrees
and then asks for the two attackers' names and he tells him their
names, though she mistakenly says Shishigawara's name as Sushigawara.[181]
After speaking with Orihime, Sado meets with Kūgo at the Xcution
headquarters. Kūgo tells him that Ichigo had already started his next
training phase. Sado asks what Tsukishima's abilities are.[182] Sado explains what Orihime told him and suspects that Tsukishima's Fullbring can alter the memories of those it cuts.[183]
Kūgo, however, says that he already told Sado everything he knew about
Tsukishima's Fullbring, and if he already knew about it, then he would
have told Sado already. He tells him that Tsukishima's Fullbring is
called Book of the End, and that it has an attack power so high
that it can literally cut through anything, but it is the only thing
that it can do. Sado asks if his Fullbring could have evolved since they
last met, and Kūgo says that they cannot; Fullbring abilities cannot
and will not change through growth. Sado argues that his Fullbring
changed many times. Kūgo, however, explains that means that Sado simply
could not access his Fullbring to its fullest ability until he reached a
level that he could, and that the rest of the members of Xcution had
surpassed that stage a long time ago. Kūgo also explains that Orihime's
explanation worries him, because to the best of his knowledge,
Tsukishima's Fullbring didn't cause Orihime's memory distortion. Kūgo
then asks about Uryū's condition, surprising Sado. Kūgo reminds Sado
that Uryū was attacked and asks if he has the same memory problems. Sado
tells him that Uryū apparently did not suffer the same memory
distortion as Orihime did. Kūgo tells Sado that they had better be sure,
because if Uryū is suffering from the same memory distortion, then they
need to be worried about Tsukishima's abilities. However, if Uryū is
not suffering from the conditions as Orihime, then whoever attacked
Orihime may not have been Tsukishima at all.[184] Sado attacks Tsukishima
However, Tsukishima breaks into the room telling Kūgo not to be so
sure about his theory, surprising everyone in the room. Sado watches
Tsukishima as he greets everyone in the room. Noting that Jackie and
Riruka are not in the room, Tsukishima attack Riruka's Fish Tank causing
Ichigo to emerge, cloaked in Reiatsu shaped similarly to his Shinigami
shihakūsho.[185]
Sado realizes that Ichigo reached a new stage of his Fullbring, and
that it is similar to his Bankai, and to be cloaked in power is Ichigo's
true self. Ichigo attacks Tsukishima and asks who he is. Sado realizes
the dangers of not knowing who Tsukishima is and attacks him after he
identifies himself to Ichigo. Sado lands on the roof and Kūgo scolds
him, remarking that they can now tell Ichigo about Tsukishima. Sado
remarks that it would be a risk, as they do not know how powerful
Ichigo's Fullbring is yet, nor do they know how much control he has over
it. He further explains that if they explain what he did to Orihime,
then his performance might suffer. Ichigo, however overhears this and
realizes that they only avoided telling Ichigo anything because they
were trying to protect him, which he did not realize. Tsukishima lands
on the rooftop as well, causing Ichigo to attack him. As Ichigo fights,
Sado notes that Ichigo progressed immensely on his Fullbring training.
However, Tsukishima gains the upper hand in their fight, causing Kūgo to
stop his attack with his own Fullbring.[186]
Sado later stops Ichigo from trying to interfere with Kūgo and
Tsukishima's fight. Sado tells Ichigo that Tsukishima is way ahead of
him and is impossible for Ichigo to win at his current state. But Ichigo
does not listen to Sado and rushes off to fight.[187]
After their encounter with Tsukishima, Sado runs into Orihime. He asks
her if she was just at the hospital and she replies yes and that she
healed Uryū. He says he wanted to hear how Uryū was and she can tell him
on the way. Orihime asks where they are going and he responds that they
are going to Ichigo as he will need Orihime's powers in the next stage
of his training.[188]
As they arrive at Xcution's back-up headquarters, Riruka jumps off the
building and asks who Sado is with. He responds that it is Orihime and
Riruka grins a little. Riruka talks to Orihime and says that Sado told
them about her. Sado tries to get her to stop antagonizing Orihime but
she continues before Orihime points out Riruka's feelings for Ichigo and
then says that she will heal Ichigo no matter what and they all
continue on up to Yukio.[189] Sado enters the training room that Yukio made for him.
After Orihime enters Yukio's game, Ichigo says that Sado must have
brought her there. Sado enters and says that he did and that he knows
Ichigo did not want to get her involved but he will need her. Kūgo
begins saying something to Sado but he interrupts saying that he did not
come there to back up Ichigo. He says he had Yukio make him his own
room where he can train, saying he cannot afford to sit around if he
wants to fight Tsukishima again. Kūgo acknowledges this and tells him to
do as he will. He enters the room and reflects on the encounter with
Tsukishima and remembers that he was attacked by Tsukishima but no one
noticed he was stabbed. He says that everything is how Orihime described
it and that Tsukishima's powers are a mystery and that he needs to gain
more power if he is going to fight back.[190] Once Ichigo finishes his training, Sado leaves Yukio's Fullbring along with Ichigo and Orihime.[191] Sado attacks Ichigo
Later, when Ichigo declares that he would kill Tsukishima, Sado
punches through the window of the room that Ichigo and Tsukishima were
fighting in and he along with Orihime defend Tsukishima.[192]
Orihime heals Tsukishima's arm, causing Ichigo to state that he can't
believe that Sado and Orihime are the same as the others. Sado is
confused by Ichigo's words and states that he's conflicted, not because
they're the "same", but because they're "different". He asks Ichigo why
he's attacking Tsukishima, and both him and Orihime tell him that he
only saved Rukia and defeated Aizen because Tsukishima helped him.
Tsukishima appears behind Ichigo and asks him if he understands, but
Ichigo lashes out at him[193] Ichigo continues to attack Tsukishima, but Orihime stops his attack with her Santen Kesshun. Sado then appears next to Ichigo and tries to attack him with his Brazo Derecha de Gigante,
but Ichigo manages to block the attack. Sado states that he didn't
become stronger so he can fight with Ichigo and attacks him with his Brazo Izquierda del Diablo, which pushes Ichigo out of the mansion.[194] Sado at a breaking point due to Book of the End.
Later, Sado and Orihime find Ichigo with his Shinigami powers
restored. Both he and Orihime notice that Rukia, Renji, and Hitsugaya
are there as well. Orihime thinks they have come to stop Ichigo, but
Sado notes that they look like they are there to help Ichigo and kill
Kūgo. Tsukishima then comes behind Sado and Orihime and asks them if
they doubt their memories. Tsukishima asks Orihime who protected her
from her parents and raised her, and he asks Sado who gave him his coin.
He answers that he did both. Kūgo tries to stop Tsukishima from saying
anything else, but then Sado and Orihime both feel strange. They are
both knocked out by Urahara and Isshin shortly afterwards.[195]
They are brought to Urahara's shop and after Tsukishima is defeated,
they become stable. They are left in the care of Tessai and Isshin.[196]
While Ichigo is fighting the Hollows that attacked Ryūnosuke and Shino, Sado arrives with Uryū and Orihime,
and they help him in the fight. Two days later, they arrive at Ichigo's
house and Sado agrees with Uryū that Ichigo has no etiquette.[197] Sado wonders who Ivan is and tells Ichigo that he'll help him fight when he's done with the bread that Orihime brought.[198] Orihime, Sado and Uryū return to Ichigo's house at his request to hear from Nel Tu and Pesche about the Vandenreich's conquest of Hueco Mundo and capture of various Arrancar, including Dondochakka. The group begin to discuss rescuing them when Urahara arrives and offers to facilitate their entry to Hueco Mundo.[199]
Along with Ichigo, Orihime, Urahara, Nel and Pesche, Sado travels to
Hueco Mundo, where they notice the large number of dead bodies. When
Ichigo goes to rescue a group of captured Arrancar, Urahara wonders if
Ichigo realizes that he is going to help those that were his enemies
just recently. Sado states that because Pesche and Nel know that Ichigo
is that kind of person, they trust him to do something about the
situation. Sado sets off in pursuit of Ichigo.[200]
Superhuman Strength: Sado possesses a remarkable amount of
strength for a human. He was capable of lifting a steel beam that had
fallen on him with little effort.[201] He can effortlessly throw another person a half a block away with only one arm.[202] Sado was able to battle a Hollow with his bare fists and is strong enough to break a telephone pole and swing it like a bat.[203] He was able to effortlessly throw off the Hollow creature helpers of Shrieker.[204]
His strength is further enhanced with his armored arms, allowing him to
take on those bigger than himself with relative ease as a single punch
he was able to take left arm off the Hollow, Bulbous G.[205]
He has also show enough skill to aid himself in a safe descent to the
ground when falling from high above with tremendous force.[206]
He is so strong that he was able to effortlessly punch a 3rd Seat
Shinigami, sending him flying away half a block, defeating him.[207]
His strength is such that he could punch a large Arrancar in the face,
shattering his mask remnant and send him flying a good distance. [208]
In its true form, his right arm is powerful enough to take on a former
Espada and send him flying a great distance through a wall and giving
him a considerable injury.[209] With his left arm, he is powerful enough to stop and crush Gantenbainne's most powerful attack.[210]
Chad Catapult (チャド・カタプルト, Chado Katapuruto):[211] a technique used by Sado to launch Rukia into the air.[212]
Grua Tirar (クレーン投げ(グルーア・ティラール), Gurūa Tirāru; Japanese and Spanish for "Crane-Throw")[213] a technique that allows Sado to effortlessly throw an opponent.[214]
Enhanced Durability: Sado is unnaturally highly resistant to
damage. He was able to withstand a falling steel beam, which bent upon
contact with his back, with minor injury but relatively unfazed.[215]
He was able to take a head-on collision with a motorcycle; while the
driver was seriously injured, he walked away with only minor injuries.[216] He was able to sustain a clawed attack to his back by the Hollow Shrieker, that would have been fatal for anyone else.[217]
When his arms are armored, he seems to attain an even greater level of
endurance, allowing him to take relentless beatings as well as being
thrown into structures without showing any signs of injury.[218] His durability also becomes great enough to block incoming attacks and blasts.[219] He is also shown to be highly resilient mentally, able to endure a powerful attack to his psyche and continue fighting.[220] In its true form, his right arm is durable enough to effortlessly block attacks from a former Espada.[221] Spiritual Awareness: After his encounter with the parakeet containing the soul of Yūichi Shibata, he started to detect the approximate locations of spirits and Hollows, but could not fully see them.[222][223][224]
Only after saving Karin Kurosaki from a Hollow, during the
Hollow-slaying match between Uryū and Ichigo, did Sado begin to fully
see spirits.[225][226] Enhanced Speed: Sado's speed is above that of an average human being.[227]
The recent furtherance of Sado's powers seem to augment his natural
agility to the point where his reaction time became sufficient enough to
anticipate high-speed attacks and counter them. During his fight with
Gantenbainne, Sado develops a level of speed that can easily keep up
with that of Sonído, even capable of appearing behind his opponent and
attacking.[228] High Spiritual Power: He commonly uses spiritual energy to augment the strength of his punches.[229] During his basics training in spirit energy with Kūkaku Shiba, Sado was shown to have intensely strong and high levels of spiritual energy, though the Shiba Clan cannon orb was unstable.[230] Ever since coming to Hueco Mundo,
Sado felt that something about the power inside him was different than
when he was in the human world. He was confused by that and up until his
fight with Gantenbainne Mosqueda,
his power had eluded him. But after that he was finally able to grasp
it, and was from then on, he was able to fight with his full strength.[231]
Ever since he came to Hueco Mundo he had felt the power inside him
rustling, something he never felt while in Soul Society. The resulting
increased the deeper he went into Hueco Mundo and it was the beating he
recieved from Gantenbainne that caused the rustling to settle down. Upon
coming to Hueco Mundo, his power has been happily crying out like it
had come home and through the violent welcome, of its brethren reclaimed
its sanity. Sado acknowledges that his power is less like a Shinigami's
or Quincy's and more like that of a Hollow.[232] This allowed him to fully tap his powers, which manifests as armor on both arms, instead of just his right.
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: While never officially trained, Yasutora Sado has shown himself a powerful fighter even when outnumbered.
Brazo Derecha de Gigante (巨人の右腕 (ブラソ・デレチャ・デ・ヒガンテ), buraso derecha de higante; Spanish and Japanese for "Right Arm of the Giant") (Brazo Derecho del Gigante in the English dub and English manga).[233] Originally it was thought that by encountering the spiritual form of Ichigo Kurosaki constantly, Sado's natural spiritual powers were pulled from the depths of his soul.[234] This power is actually a product of Fullbring.[235]
Sado states that when he first used his power, it awoke because of the
pride that had been instilled in his heart by his 'abuelo' and that the
object that acted as the source of his Fullbring was the skin on his
arms.[236] First Form of Sado's arm.
First Form (formerly): He covers his right arm all the
way up to his shoulder in a liquid which then solidifies into a form of
armor. The shoulder fans out a bit into an upward extension parallel to
his height. It has an indentation at the top in the middle of the
extension stopping just where his shoulder begins separating the upward
extension into two. There are two wing-like protrusions on either side
of his wrist. The arm is black with a dark magenta strip running down
the middle of the arm tapering down towards a point that stops at the
wrist. The dark magenta strip is outlined by a thin white line. These
patterns are both on the top as well as the underside of his arm.[237]
Spiritual Energy Blasts: He is able to fire
powerful energy blasts from his fist. After receiving advanced training
from Yoruichi Shihōin, Sado learns to activate his powers at will and
gains sufficient stamina to fire multiple blasts.[238] These spiritual energy blasts have become more powerful with each form taken. He is able to fire them effortlessly.[239]
Sado is able to gather energy through the shield portion of his right
arm and fire it in the form of a powerful massive energy blast from his
arm.[240] This power works in all forms.
Second Form: He covers his right arm all the way up to
his shoulder in a liquid which then solidifies into a form of armor. The
shoulder extension becomes pointed as well as slightly longer, making
it a little bit taller than Sado. The arm maintains its black color, but
the magenta becomes slightly lighter and the design becomes more
intricate, while the white is lost altogether.[241]
El Directo (巨人の一撃 (エル・ディレクト), eru direkuto; Spanish for "The Direct", Japanese for "One Strike of the Giant"):
A powerful special attack learned upon attaining the second form. The
ends of the extension on Sado's shoulder opens up and charges up
spiritual energy, appearing somewhat like the flaming exhaust from a car
engine, and then he releases a huge blast of spiritual energy that he
can use to augment his punches or simply as a concentrated medium to
long-range attack.[242]
True Second Form (Defensive Shield): He covers
his right arm all the way up to the shoulder in a liquid which
solidifies into a form of armor. Brazo Derecha de Gigante becomes a
shield that extends from his hand to some distance beyond his forearm
with the same intricate pattern as before, surrounding what appears to
be Hollow-like teeth in the center and what appears to be a rose like
pattern or skeletal nose and eyes near the end. He also loses the
wing-like protrusion which extended from his shoulder, replaced with an
hexagonal plate sitting over his shoulder. In this form, it is used for
defense instead of offense (though it's still more powerful offensively
than his original arm).[243] This is the true form of his right arm and its true power.[244]
Sado says that "the soul of his Abuelo flows through his right arm,"
speaking metaphorically of his grandfather's teachings. What his abuelo
taught him was to protect and that is why what dwells in his right arm
is a defensive power.[245]
Sado's armored left arm, Brazo Izquierda del Diablo.
Brazo Izquierda del Diablo (悪魔の左腕 (ブラソ・イスキエルダ・デル・ディアブロ), buraso isukieruda deru diaburo; Spanish and Japanese for "Left Arm of the Devil") (Brazo Izquierdo del Diablo in the English dub): [246]
He covers his left arm all the way up to the shoulder with a liquid
which solidifies into a form of armor. The arm is white, with a red
stripe running down the length of the center. His fingertips of red
diamond shaped marks on them. A spike protrudes from the shoulder and
two more resembling claws extend over his chest. This is the offensive
power within him.
La Muerte (魔人の一撃 (ラ・ムエルテ), ra muerute; Spanish for "The Death", Japanese for "One Strike of the Demon") (El Muerte
in the English manga): A powerful special attack. La Muerte is swung
from his left arm by grasping spiritual power focused on the five
fingers. Those who are struck by it are like sacrifices crucified and
offered to the devil.[247]
His finger tips charge in the forms of five disks of crackling
spiritual energy, then he forms a fist and punches his opponent. The
blow is devastating and upon contact, a huge skull-shape is created upon
the surface behind the target. The power can easily defeat a Privaron
Espada, and is most likely Sado's strongest attack, as it comes from the
arm formed from Sado's will to attack, rather than defend.[248]
Sado's injuries from his first encounter with Yammy Llargo were
drastically toned down in the anime. In the manga, his armored arm was
literally torn off and broke into two,[249] while in the anime, his arm merely had several deep cuts in it.[250]
Sado appears in most of the Bleach video games, having appeared in every installment of the Bleach: Heat the Soul series as of the first, as well as many other Bleach video games.
Sado has appeared in;
His theme song according to Tite Kubo is "No Song Unheard" by the Hellacopters.
Although their interaction is never shown in either the manga
or the anime, in the Bleach Bootleg it is stated that Sado gave Hisagi
instructions on how to play the guitar.
In the Bleachpopularity polls, Sado has ranked 6th, 14th, 31st and 18th.
