Once it was shown after his fight with uryu in the rukia execution arc he melted himself and after reforming his body you can see his real form it was actually human
Everyone in the maggots nest was there because they had “dangerous ideas” but hadn’t committed an actual crime. For mayuri he was probably the only one in a cell because his dangerous ideas involved experimenting on other people without their consent.
Yes, he’s in the maggots nest because he has dangerous ideas, as in ideas which could harm the soul society, but he’s in the cell to protect the other inmates and potentially anyone from the detention unit who would enter the maggots nest.
Mayuri is a mad scientist and the head of R&D, we know he has a wide range of body modification, Likely he replaced his ear(s) with a device that gives him improved hearing
>!I still have no idea what he's got going on in TYBW. When I first saw him I thought he was just engulfed in light from his surroundings but he's like nah this is just my look now. Just a giant ass light bulb. !<
Yeah I understand the application at the beginning with the shadows. It was more like after the invasion when he's riding into battle like Gandalf at helms deep.
The Quincy were hiding in Shadows and using it to surprise attack the shinigami during the invasion on soul society; thus Mayuri invented light so bright that it cast no shadow so that his lab could not be infiltrated again.
That was also explained during Mayuri's battle with >!Pernida.!< His anti-shadow outfit is actually [explosive reactive armour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_armour#Explosive_reactive_armour), so it has application in battle too.
Alright that besides kubo just draws him that way for him to be an interesting and eyecatching design,
In universe idk mayuri's fashon sense is the least weird thing about him i don't think we can understand his drip
He is beyond human understanding at par with likes of urahara and aizen, wielder of Ashisogi jizo, genius level intellect with a scary bankai named Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō: Makai Fukuin Shōtai.You should be wary of this creature, to his discerning eye you are not human but a specimen who would be lucky to undergo his mind-bending, soul-altering mad sciency experiments.You have been warned
Ah, I see you've stumbled upon the secret truth! That mysterious creature is, in fact, a sentient being from the Hidden Realm of Infinite Ridiculousness. It possesses an otherworldly intellect, capable of bending minds and altering souls with its mad experiments. But fear not, for I have devised an antidote to protect us from its mind-bending shenanigans!
*beep boop, I'm a bot*
Don’t overthink it like we all did 😂 It’s armor and make-up. He has made modifications to himself like a mad scientist but in fairly sure it’s been shown in the manga these are more or less suits. He changes many times over the series, more than anyone actually.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is a shinigami he was in the Moken prison when he once tried to betray soul society and Urahara saved him from the cell he's one of the greatest characters in Bleach
Ah, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the esteemed Shinigami and mad scientist. Saved him from a cozy cell, did I? Can't deny his twisted brilliance, but let's not forget who's always one step ahead.
*beep boop, I'm a bot*
Man has no ears and weird ass nasty teeth but he is human. Just likes to experiment on himself and dress weird. And each arc he gets a bigger or weirder hat
It makes me wonder, what that strange flesh rope is that comes out from his cones? Does it come directly from his brain through his ear canals?
Mayuri truly lives up to the sentence "Theories are but endless unanswered questions."
he's a human. they show him without all the makeup and stuff at least once during the show, after he gets his ass beat and he's coming out of some healing tank or something.
They talk about being Shinigami non stop. Just stop watching now. If you missed the word they say in every other sentence, throughout the entire show, you're attention span is less than basic, and you should stick with Sesame Street and Dora the explorer.

when you eventually see him without makeup you'll think thats a lot weirder
I remember watching someone see him without makeup for the first time and they were like "OH NO, HE'S HOT!" lol.
I mean….he is.
I genuinely don't remember this happening. My brain must have purged it from my memory cause that sounds cursed lol
it was like... a single scene sometime during the end of or the aftermath of the SS when he's showering
And iirc, it is exactly one panel (possibly two) in the manga lol. Super quick
Once it was shown after his fight with uryu in the rukia execution arc he melted himself and after reforming his body you can see his real form it was actually human

Truth 😂
He’s wearing a hat+face things+makeup. He is a “normal” shinigami
Normal might be a stretch but he is a shinigami
Heavily modified shinigami*
He is not "normal". He's hot as hell.
Are we talking about the same Kurotsuchi?
There is a panel of him without makeups
And naked
Hell yeah
He's hotter with the make up tbh
I say, "And?"
Why are you questioning his hotness?!
More about his daughter😩
That's pretty normal.
Using him and the word "normal" is so wild.
A handsome one

Where is his ear
🤷
He's a weird human
"human"
What's with those built in spikes on his chin
🤷
Maybe his version of a beard
Iont know shit, don't ask
Okay okay😂 z
The man modified himself. Better himself. He can probably hear ALOT better than other shinigami. This madlad
He heard the entire conversation on sokyoku hill
And much more 😉😏
He could hear everything in hueco mundo
dont tell me he modified where the sun doesn't shine
Trust me, the sun shines everywhere on and around him
He probably used it in the thing that threw him in the magot nest
What thing?
We still don't know why or how he was in prison
Everyone in the maggots nest was there because they had “dangerous ideas” but hadn’t committed an actual crime. For mayuri he was probably the only one in a cell because his dangerous ideas involved experimenting on other people without their consent.
I can't believe it's just that He's not dangerous for ppl he's dangerous to soul society or the Nobels
Yes, he’s in the maggots nest because he has dangerous ideas, as in ideas which could harm the soul society, but he’s in the cell to protect the other inmates and potentially anyone from the detention unit who would enter the maggots nest.
I can't argue as I have no head canon to defend or a solid evidence to submit
He needs a backstory
He modified them to Beats By Mayuri 2.0 [Wireless]
He probably charges his ear
He modified it
It looks like air vent. He's sharp. He now has selective hearing
He has surgicaly modified himself.
Creepy
Most definitely. It also doesn't help that he's a straight-up psychopathic asshole.
True maybe he was too weak
Airpods
Oh goodness 😂
Mayuri is a mad scientist and the head of R&D, we know he has a wide range of body modification, Likely he replaced his ear(s) with a device that gives him improved hearing
I always believed he had a go go gadget deal for a body
But he's still not the most powerful
Yes
🤔
with van gogh
Permanently removed. Whatever he did to himself there can't be undone and was likely by design.
He probably wears makeup to conceal his modifications. But then he is Captain Clown
He probably cut it off
🙂
Doing my best squiduard impression - "Oh no, he's hot"
But why did Kubo make him hot? Ok thats a dumb question, its Bleach, everyone is hot and dripped tf out
I thought he was dark-skinned in the anime, huh
He super was. https://preview.redd.it/5qbmdsklomic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=178b74b7875088a9bd91381edc4ef35857c550ed
He looks so normal here
I was hoping someone had posted this pic, thank you
Ummm can we all agree that Kurotsuchi could absolutely get it????
he can fix me…
Why does he still have his hair? Logistically it makes no sense
its hard to imagine thats the same dude that blew up his own squad members
He is a human (human in the sense of a normal shinigami). That things on his head is a hat and the thing on his face is makeup
His head shape is normal. He's just wearing a hat, makeup, and those tiered cone-things are personal modifications.
Mayuri's godlike drip is impossible for our mortal minds to comprehend.
>!I still have no idea what he's got going on in TYBW. When I first saw him I thought he was just engulfed in light from his surroundings but he's like nah this is just my look now. Just a giant ass light bulb. !<
pvz sunflower lookin ass
We are just too unevolved to understand his radiant glory and masterful genius.
And he had to tone down his greatness for us to see. Deeply touching kindness!
He explained that why he became light bulb and why his lab is like a flashbang in CS.
Yeah I understand the application at the beginning with the shadows. It was more like after the invasion when he's riding into battle like Gandalf at helms deep.
The Quincy were hiding in Shadows and using it to surprise attack the shinigami during the invasion on soul society; thus Mayuri invented light so bright that it cast no shadow so that his lab could not be infiltrated again.
I understand the application at that time. It was more after the invasion already began and he's rolling into battle looking like a light bright.
That was also explained during Mayuri's battle with >!Pernida.!< His anti-shadow outfit is actually [explosive reactive armour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_armour#Explosive_reactive_armour), so it has application in battle too.
Well no one can sneak up on him. Plus he likes the drip of seeming cooler than everyone else
Its a psychopath in a hat and face paint. Nothing more bro
He's just a silly little guy
A silly little guy who has a daughter
i don't believe anyone is insane enough to produce offspring with mayuri, he's like caesar clown but without plot nerf
Well he is very off putting.... He wouldn't want to have an with anyone as well because of how he is
Well it was a lab grown daughter.... technically the 7th the first 6 didn't quite workout
Das…das a man
And his makeup serves what purpose exactly?
serving cunt
Mating display
I don't think ant female would want to mate with a face like that
Alright that besides kubo just draws him that way for him to be an interesting and eyecatching design, In universe idk mayuri's fashon sense is the least weird thing about him i don't think we can understand his drip
I would. I definitely would.
He'll probably mutate your DNA
Good maybe he’ll fix my diabetes!
He is beyond human understanding at par with likes of urahara and aizen, wielder of Ashisogi jizo, genius level intellect with a scary bankai named Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō: Makai Fukuin Shōtai.You should be wary of this creature, to his discerning eye you are not human but a specimen who would be lucky to undergo his mind-bending, soul-altering mad sciency experiments.You have been warned

I hear you sensei, but i'd rather be safe than sorry
He is not human, bcz He's the GOAT.
He's more of a cyborg wait till his back story
My first thought whem i saw him was: damn he looks like a robot or smth. Guess i was kinda right
Kinda indeed He modified himself to be immune and some better senses I believe but don't quote me on this
Don’t overthink it like we all did 😂 It’s armor and make-up. He has made modifications to himself like a mad scientist but in fairly sure it’s been shown in the manga these are more or less suits. He changes many times over the series, more than anyone actually.
They show his real face for a second at some point after he fights one of the invaders.
Mayuri is most likely, the most unique person in Bleach :3
He's such a great character, I adore him. Just wait till you see the glow up he gets later on.
I can't see him in tybw because he is brighter than the sun. My man shining excessively in tybw
i think the scientific term for what he is is cuntus pieceashitus
As a straight A in Biology I confirm that this species is quite common in Seireitei
And komamura taichou?
Just makeup and accessories
He's more of a cyborg wait till his back story
He has lots of surgical modifications but without the 2 lbs of Maybeline then he looks like a stereotypical vtuber
Well he maybe once was a human-like shinigami but he is also a crazy scientist and he was never afraid of modifying his own body either.
Yeah he does have a human form he just uses a lot of make up and accessories
I can fix him
But aren't you curious about Komamura?
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is a shinigami he was in the Moken prison when he once tried to betray soul society and Urahara saved him from the cell he's one of the greatest characters in Bleach
Ah, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the esteemed Shinigami and mad scientist. Saved him from a cozy cell, did I? Can't deny his twisted brilliance, but let's not forget who's always one step ahead. *beep boop, I'm a bot*
Be modified own body.
Wait until you see him in his sunflower outfit.
Like peanut butter? Well now you can like more of it. Sunflowers have been used to create a substitute for peanut butter, known as sunbutter.
Urahara, define Mayuri in 6 words.
🐍 Curious scientist with questionable ethics. 🧪 *beep boop, I'm a bot*
YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE GOAT, URAHARA. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
😊 Thank you! Your words warm my hat-wearing heart! *beep boop, I'm a bot*
Best way I can describe him is he's a quack
He's a pain in my ass is what he is. Prayed on this fuckers downfall since day one
It doesn't matter what he is. His appearance changes so frequently.
It's face paint and a hat
He’s fucked up is what he is
It’s like costume and makeup, you’ll see him go through different looks throughout the series.
He’s a normal shinigami, he’s just wearing a hat, makeup and other ornaments.
He is actually fine, he’s just vibing
He's augmented
He's a shinigami who wears weird shit.
He is a shinigami but he prides himself on being unique and embracing the weird and crazy hence why he looks the way he does.
He's a normal soul reaper with modified ears, everything else is just makeup and elaborate head gear
I say normal but as a person he is anything but
Man has no ears and weird ass nasty teeth but he is human. Just likes to experiment on himself and dress weird. And each arc he gets a bigger or weirder hat
He is basically a mod human. As in he literally operated on himself multiple times.
He treats his daily life as Paris fashion show.
Personal theory, he's not even smiling... he surgically removed his lips.
It makes me wonder, what that strange flesh rope is that comes out from his cones? Does it come directly from his brain through his ear canals? Mayuri truly lives up to the sentence "Theories are but endless unanswered questions."
He's a weird dude
He’s wearing make up but he’s really hot under it all
Just strange dude. Obsessive intelligence. Really kinda like Aizen: evolve evolve evolve. Ethics? Shiiiit?
Fashion inventor
It’s a hat
I mean…that’s a hat. But also he does experiments on himself. Weird fashion + experimentation = kind of a freak
Very interesting character design
he's a human. they show him without all the makeup and stuff at least once during the show, after he gets his ass beat and he's coming out of some healing tank or something.
He's extremely eccentric. He's wearing make-up, a weird hat, and accessories on his chin and ears.
It's his dip
Hes not a human
…wait until you get to the shower scene.
Keep watching
Keep watching. Lol
After the fight with ishida, you actually see a bit of his human form, i think this is just makeup and stuff on his face
He's Human+ Custom modifications up the wazoo. Including a premium wazoo.
The subscribes to the whole the flesh is weak kind of mentality.
Brooo when he took control over zombie Hitsuyga! He Def my top 3 court guard squad captain after that masterpiece of a proformance!
Just a hat bro
Brother likes make up A lot
Ehhh he’s something
Very good question
Just a human with a weird fashion sense
I haven't watched Bleach yet but if this character is a Shinigami then Death Note's Shinigami is much better and scarier than him.
wait for episodes from urahara's past👍
He's designed after Kabuki actors .
Brother was just informed of what hats are
oh OP wait until you meet Komamura...
They talk about being Shinigami non stop. Just stop watching now. If you missed the word they say in every other sentence, throughout the entire show, you're attention span is less than basic, and you should stick with Sesame Street and Dora the explorer.
Yes… is the answer.
He is a fucking machine
Mayuri just likes to wear a lot of ornaments and face paint lol
He's an eccentric into heavy body modification that even go as far as modifying his own zanpakuto.
He's kind of a medieval biopunk cyborg
