Shinigami or Arrancar?

Shinigami (literally "death god") are a fictional race of beings in the anime and manga series bleach. They are departed human souls that have gained supernatural powers. As such, their bodies are composed of electroplasm and they can only be seen by other spiritually aware entities, which excludes most humans. In the series, shinigami, as well as most other types of spirits, are quite capable of influencing their environment. Additionally, they can be injured and die like regular humans, though it takes considerably greater injuries for the latter to occur than it would in regular humans. The most prominent supernatural power possessed by a shinigami is their zanpakuto, a supernatural sword generated from the shinigami's aoul. Shinigami also naturally give off spiritual energy, which varies greatly in magnitude with the strength of a shinigami. A zanpakuto is a physical manifestation of this force concentrated into a blade. Shinigami operations are based out of soul society, which is the afterlife in Bleach, Travel between the human world and soul society is extremely limited and monitored, but some shinigami are stationed in the human world to carry out their duties and therefore must often travel between the two. In addition, it is a crime for a shinigami to remain in the human world longer than a certain time limit. A shinigami's duties include leading ghosts to soul society in a practice called soul burial, and the cleansing of hollows. Later in the series, shinigami duties are clarified further, and it is revealed that they are also responsible for governing the flow of spirits between the human world and soul society. An arrancar is a hollow that has removed its mask and gained shinigami powers. The name arrancar isa spanish verb meaning "to remove" or "to rip off", a reference to an arrancar's removal of its hollow mask. Few hollows have the potential to remove their masks normally, and even if they manage it the change is not significant. Sosuke Aizen is able to arificially create arrancar with the Orb of Distortion, which also unlocks much more of their potential than a natural transformation would. The process of turning a hollow into an arrancae is called shinigamification. Arrancar and ordinary hollows differ in two ways: the location of their holes and the almost-total disappearance of their masks. When hollow become arrancar, the chances of them retaining a humanoid form increase with their intelligence; only vasto lorde-based arrancar will definitely assume a humanoid form. If powerful enough, an arrancar can seal its power in the form of a zanpakuto. Unlike shinigami, this zanpakuto is by no means sentient. It is simply the hollow's true form sealed into a sword. Therefore, an arrancar's release of theor zanpakuto is merely a temporary restoration of their former selves. An arrancar release is called resureccion. Arrancar do not have a known second release. So what would you chose?
