Zodiac sign: Gemini
Luppi steps in as the 6th Espada after Grimmjow loses his arm and gets demoted. He's got a youthful face—almost feminine-looking—with short black hair, and the leftover chunk of his hollow mask sits on his head like a decorative comb, made up of a top row of teeth. His long sleeves drape past his hands, completely covering them. While his hollow hole stays hidden, his Espada number is impossible to miss, tattooed across his right hip.
His zanpakutou, Trepadora, is a short blade (basically a kodachi) that he keeps strapped near his armpit. The release command is "strangle," and when it activates, eight tentacles burst from a carapace grafted onto his back, while his mask morphs into something like a helmet. This setup makes him genuinely effective in fights—he can control each tentacle independently, which gives him a real advantage against multiple opponents. The tentacles can sprout spikes for extra damage, and the carapace can rotate, letting him spin the whole thing like helicopter blades. Fans often note that his fighting style is pretty unconventional compared to most other Espada.
