Gantenbainne Mosqueda (ガンテンバイン・モスケーダ, Gantenbain Mosukēda) is the 107th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army.

Contents

Appearance

He has a big afro-style haircut with thick sideburns and a goatee. His outfit has been modified to match his particular style, including large frills on his collar and thighs. The remains of his Hollow mask are a sunglasses-shaped plate on his forehead with four teeth coming out above each eye. There is a star in the center of the mask fragment, which allows Gantenbainne to see when he pulls the plate down over his eyes.

Personality

His personality is in contrast to the other Privaron Espada. While fighting Yasutora Sado he showed restraint and went easy on Chad while the others fought intensely with their respective opponents. He didn't go all out until he was actually hit. He also warned Chad of an approaching Nnoitra Jiruga.

History

Gantenbainne Mosqueda was once an Espada under Aizen. His previous rank is unknown. Like his fellow Privaron Espada, he was demoted in favor of Aizen's more powerful Arrancar.

Synopsis

Hueco Mundo Arc

Gantenbainne encounters Yasutora Sado when he separates from the group in Las Noches in an area known as Tres Cifras. Before releasing his Zanpakutō, he fights using close-combat combo attacks. Through his battle with Chad, he inadvertently helps Chad unlock his true potential, since Chad's powers are similar to those of Hollows. Gantenbainne is defeated by Chad who spares him in thanks for fighting with all of his strength and helping him grasp his full power.[1] After being defeated, he warns Chad of an incoming Nnoitra who easily dispatches him with one hit.[2] The Exequias come to finish off both Sado and Mosqueda but Retsu Unohana intervenes. She orders her Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu to heal both Sado and Mosqueda. His current fate is unknown but he is still alive.

Powers & Abilities

As stated by Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio, Gantenbainne, a Privaron Espada, is one of the strongest Arrancar in Las Noches, only being outclassed by the current Espada.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combat Specialist: He has demonstrated tremendous skill in bare-handed combat as shown from his ability to initially dodge and counter of all Sado's physical attacks.

Sonído Expert: He also seems to have mastered Sonído.

Dragra's released form

Zanpakutō

Dragra (龍拳 (ドラグラ), Doragura; Japanese for "Dragon Fist"). In its sealed state, it exists as a pair of two-pronged punching daggers attached to Gantenbainne's wrists by hinges. Also, in Bleach: Heat the Soul 6 they appear to have an electrical current flowing between the two prongs.

  • Resurrección: His release command is unknown. When Dragra is released, Gantenbainne's arms grow longer and become covered in dome-shaped, armor plates, and the punching daggers come to resemble dragon heads. Similar plates also extend down his back and form a tail, giving him an appearance similar to an armadillo. He pulls his mask fragment over his eyes in combat.
Resurrección Special Ability:
  • Various Energy Attacks: When released, Dragra shows the ability to shoot beams of orange energy, along with energy bursts of various size and strength, the strongest of which takes on the shape of a dragon's head.

Appearance in Other Media

Like the other Privaron Espada, Gantenbainne first appears in Bleach: Heat the Soul 5 and returns in Bleach: Heat the Soul 6.

Trivia

  • Gantenbainne is the only Privaron Espada to not be featured on the cover of a Bleach manga volume and chapter.
  • He is the only Arrancar, whose Zanpakutō doesn't have a Spanish translation, only a Japanese one.

Quotes

  • (To Sado)"Get up Yasutora Sado. I know that you are still hiding some power. You're very strong, that's no way for a guy like you to fight. In the name of God, let us have a fair fight."[3]
  • (To Sado)"You're not going to respond? That breaks my heart."[4]
