[Szayel cracks his knuckles and TAKES OUT A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER ARE YOU READY FOR DIAGRAMS MORIARTY.
because there's fucking diagrams as he explains souls, Hollows, Shinigami, the various planes of existence, etc. And about Aizen!! And the hogyoku! jesus christ he talks forever!!]
Now then. Now I can answer your actual question; what is an Arrancar? From the Spanish "to tear off", an Arrancar is a Hollow that has removed part of their mask and become a Shinigami hybrid. Becoming an Arrancar arrests the cycle of degradation I mentioned earlier and puts an end to the relentless hunger. But it is very dangerous -- prior to Lord Aizen's introduction of the hogyoku, a mere 5% of Hollows that attempted to remove their masks survived the process. With that powerful item, though the process had a success rate of almost 100%. Each Arrancar bears an estigma, remnants of our mask. [Szayel taps his "glasses"] ... Ah, it is also possible for Shinigami to become Hollow hybrids, but it is much rarer.
