{{quote| "Two years after the Soul Society Arc of the ''[[Bleach]]'' storyline, the traitor [[Big Bad|Aizen]] finally made his move. In a completely unexpected turn of events, Aizen’s army of Arrancar launched a massive invasion of Soul Society. The invaders were eventually repelled, but the damage had been done...and the price was high. Seireitei lay in ruins. The Gotei 13 had been all but annihilated; hundreds of shinigami and thousands more souls were killed. In an attempt to replenish their heavily depleted forces, Soul Society decided to consolidate what they had left into a single new organization, the Gotei 7. However, with so few notably powerful shinigami to serve as Captains, Soul Society was forced to recall formerly exiled shinigami to serve as Captains for the Divisions. Together, they stand as the new defenders of Soul Society.<br />
These are the tales of the Arrancar Wars." }}
 
[http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/series-related-miscellaneous-role-play/the-arrancar-wars-a-literate-bleach-rp/t.24289283 The Arrancar Wars] is an [[Alternate Continuity]] [[Play-By-Post Games|play by post game]] on [[Gaia Online]] set two and a half years after ''[[Bleach]]'''s Soul Society arc, omitting the Hueco Mundo arc and all that followed. Launched March 2007 by user Yamato_Kameyama, [[Fun with Acronyms|TAW]] gained a dedicated staff and a fluctuating (but highly active) member-base. Despite the obvious divergence from the the continuity of series proper, it started out very similarly, with the Gotei 7 fighting of [[Monster of the Week|continuous attacks from legions of Hollows, with the occasional Arrancar or two]] before launching into actual story arcs. It became widely known, even amongst those who didn't join, as one of the [[Overly Narrow Superlative|best Bleach roleplaying forums]] on the site. Sadly, over the course of two years, [[Too Good to Last|participation began to drop]], culminating with the RP's [[Orphaned Series|final abandonment]] in December 2009, near the end of the story's Hueco Mundo Arc.
 
Yamato, completely unwilling to let go of [[Glory Days|one of the funnest times in his life]], has made plans to [[Fanfic|finish and novelize]] the story.

** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Shinji
* [[A Handful for Anan Eye]]: Hanatarō pulls this on [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Pailong]] during their fight in the Hueco Mundo Arc
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: When Takato determines that the missing shinigami officers have most likely been captured and imprisoned, Yamamoto immediately tells him not to go after them. [[Chaotic Good|Naturally, he does it anyway]].
