    Why on BLeach do the bad guys get the most ridiculous names

    Espada = Sword

    Arrancar = to boot

    Hueco Mundo = Hollow World.

    Menos Grande = Less Large.

    They're not ridiculous, they're Spanish. Unless you think Japanese naming things after Spanish things is ridiculous, but it's no more ridiculous than Japanese naming people after vegetables. In fact it's far less ridiculous.

    Bleach: The Blade of Fate is an awesome game, I got it for my DS a week ago or so and have been playing it pretty consistently since. It's awesome.

    I did have a question about Bleach too, something was bugging me, but I totally forgot what it was.

    I didn't insult the language. I talked about their names and yes for name they are ridiculous even for Spanish speakers such as myself. I'm sorry to break it to you but I never said nor intended to say "Spanish is ridiculous"

    I didn't say Spanish is ridiculous either, I said maybe you thought 'Japanese speaking Spanish is ridiculous'. But really the whole post was tongue-in-cheek, and I guess you didn't pick up on my Dragon Ball Z punchline.

    As for 'why are they spanish names', the creator probably wanted to do something different and thought it was cool. Possibly the same reason he named the manga 'Bleach'. The same way you might see people with T-shirts or tattoos or something with Japanese/Chinese symbols, Japanese people walk around with random English or other languages on their clothes.

    It's exotic.

    The story mode makes perfect sense in the DS game, you just have to unlock the last story path because it's the series storyline. The first one is a made up one

    Espada is pretty self-explanatory. They're the strongest of Aizen's army, they are his swords, as it were.

    Hueco Mundo is the world of the Hollows, so I see no reason why it can't be called the "Hollow World".

    Menos in this case means "minus". Good souls are called "Plusses", so it's another way to call it a freakin' huge hollow.

    Finally, Arrancar comes from a Spanish verb that means "to remove" or "to rip off," referring to what is done with their mask. The kanji used to write their name is actually the kanji for "torn mask."

    yah i kno that bout the ds on but i was talkn bout the wii one...i think they should have made hollow ichigo in the ds one have his own moves like the move where he slings the sword at ichigo by the wrap in the series...they should have takn out the masked dog dude as a character and put someone else cause they have him without the mask u know...

    the names do make sense when u know wat they mean...thanx for that
