| ~ Pernida Parnkgjas |
Pernida Parnkgjas is a major antagonist in the 2001-2016 supernatural action manga series Bleach and its 2022 anime television series adaptation, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.
He is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "C" - "The Compulsory", as well as an elite member of Yhwach's Schutzstaffel. He is also the left hand of the Soul King, governing "Progress".
He is voiced by Bin Shimada, who also voiced Broly in Dragon Ball Z and Wapol in One Piece.
Appearance[]
Initially, Pernida wears a long white coat with three buttons at the front and a dark red Hagal rune on the side. The hood covers his face, and the only visible part are his small, glowing eyes.
His true form is revealed to be a large white hand with a pair of eyes, the fingers of which are connected by chains.
Personality[]
At first, Pernida does not seem to show any distinct personality, as he remains silent for the most part. Despite this, the rest of the Schutzstaffel seem to understand him.
During his fight with Mayuri, he slowly gains awareness of his own being. Despite being the left arm of the Soul King, he identifies himself primarily as a Quincy and becomes enraged when anyone tries to question it. As part of his evolution, he develops the ability to mimic others and their voices, as he demonstrates on Mayuri, mimicking his laughter.
Trivia[]
- In its debut appearance, Pernida was originally depicted with an arm, but when its full appearance was revealed later, it instead had no limbs and was itself a giant arm. The anime version of the scene removes the limb altogether.
- According to Tite Kubo, the visual motifs of the Schutzstaffel are based on different eras of war: Pernida is based off the ancient era.
- In the anime, Pernida makes its first appearance when Yhwach anoints Uryū as his successor, far earlier than when Yhwach invaded the Soul King Palace.
