Cirucci's a major character in another Bleach quest, Now You Feel Like Number None.
We've gotten her promoted back to the Espada now. The quest protagonist is her fraccion arrancar. That Cirucci and your Cirucci aren't really very similar thus far, though.
Thanks for the info. Is it on this site?
Cirucci is one of those characters that I really wish got more time in the series. I mean, how much of Nnoitra talking about how hard he was did we actually need? It had to have One Fish Two Fish to show Rukia's character growth, Grimmjow was Ichigo's rival/foil for that arc, and Ulquiorra was Orihime's designated character development catalyst, but all of Nnoitra's episodes could have been cut and replaced with ten minutes of him and Kenpachi fighting. Imagine that -ten straight minutes of Kenpachi and Nnoitra just whaling on each other. That would have been
epic.
Back to Cirucci. I got a little sidetracked there. Cirucci Sanderwicci is a Privaron, number 105. Based on the assumption that the first Privaron was number 100 (which seems reasonable to me), that'd make her the fifth Espada to lose her place, chronologically. Dordoni would be the third, and Gantenbainne would be the seventh. She's among the last few of the early generations of Arrancar to lose her place in the Espada, and I think the reason why is most likely because she's a
thinker.
Her fight with Uryuu was a mental battle, where she successfully tricked him into destroying the parts of the terrain preventing her from attacking to the fullest extent. She handicaps herself in several ways, at first, so that she can suddenly remove one of her handicaps to surprise an opponent. It was, if I'm honest, one of my favorite fights in Bleach for exactly those reasons. Cirucci was a skill fighter, Uryuu was a technique/equipment user, and in the end the quincy won not because of some eleventh hour power up, but because his last dirty trick was better than hers.
The main issue with using her as a character is figuring out when, exactly, she stopped being an Espada, and where she fit in that group. It's implied that she's a natural one, so by my best guess she stopped being an Espada
during the canon storyline, so she's currently one right now. Aizen hasn't started making power houses like Ulquiorra or Nnoitra yet, so the Espada are probably the future Privarons, with Starrk, Baraggan, Szayelaporro, and Two Fish as carry-overs. I'm also unsure if Yammy is one of Aizen's early creations or not.
So, out of those Arrancar I'd put Cirucci somewhere in the middle. She'd beat out Szayelaporro and Red Fish Blue Fish easily enough. Dordonni got dropped from the Espada before her, so she's probably higher than him, but lower than Gantenbainne. I'll throw Yammy in at 10/0, because I like Yammy. She's definitely lower than Baraggan and Starrk as well, so her number is probably between 4 and 6.
Her personality is probably not as vicious as it was after being demoted. She's more likely to play with her enemies longer, because she doesn't have as much to prove, but she's still likely arrogant and open about seeing most other people as literal lesser beings. She's probably not as motivated as she was in the series yet, too, once again because she doesn't have being demoted to drive her onward. She might have fewer tricks up her sleeves as a result.
...I got a little carried away, didn't I?
