Jarrett (ジャレット, Jaretto), formally referred to as Great White (頬白鮫, Hōjirozame), was an Arrancar Battle Doll created and modified by Averian sometime prior to the Winter War to serve as his agent. Under orders from Averian, Jarrett managed to infiltrate Sōsuke Aizen's Arrancar Army to monitor Aizen's activities until he was ordered to fight alongside Sōsuke Aizen's Privaron Espada against Anika's vanguard over Kagamino City. However, Jarrett failed and was promptly killed in his battle with Kenji Hiroshi.
Following the events of The Collapse, Jarrett and the majority of the Privaron Espada were resurrected by Averian to serve in his version of the Espada, with Jarrett being assigned the #13 rank. In order to subjugate the chaotic realm of Hueco Mundo after the destruction of the previous generation of Espada and to fulfill the desires of Averian, Jarrett was enhanced even further.

Powers and Abilities[]
Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: Although Jarrett was no master in swordsmanship, he proved himself to be quite a capable wielder of his strangely shaped Zanpakuto. Jarrett's great strength allowed him to wield Zapa la Vaina with one hand, which caused the Arrancar to develop a unique style of combat to compensate. Due to the serrated nature of his zanpakuto, Jarrett preferred to use the sword in devastating slashing attacks intended to carve the flesh off the target and maximize the amount of pain it can deal out. Additionally, Jarrett regularly utilized the large size of Zapa La Vaina to his advantage, often using it to smash and bludgeon his targets as well. Jarrett was ambidextrous and was able to wield Zapa La Vaina in either hand with relative ease.
Sonído Expertise: Jarrett was a skilled user of Sonído to such an extent that he can keep up with the Espada and Captain-class Shinigami for a period of time. During combat, Jarrett was noted to be highly aggressive with his usage of Sonído. His movements were described as animalistic, exaggerated, and out of control and can appear before his opponents without warning.
Cero: Like with all Hollow and Arrancar, Jarrett possessed the ability to use Cero and was known to fire a blue Cero from his mouth. Jarrett did not actually need to have his mouth open to fire a Cero, which he often used to his advantage to catch others by surprise.
- Gran Rey Cero: Due to the modifications made by Averian, Jarrett was also able to utilize the Espada-exclusive variant of Cero as well. By mixing his blood with the Cero, Jarrett was able to produce an even larger and more powerful version of his Cero. When using Gran Rey Cero, it took on a purplish blue color.
Bala: This technique hardens the user's Reiatsu into the shape of a bullet and is then released in a swift blast of spiritual energy. The expelled energy was noted to be deceptively fast and could often catch an unaware opponent completely by surprise.
Hierro: an Arrancar technique in which the user's reiryoku condenses, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block a Zanpakutō. This also allows them to fight some of the sword-wielding Shinigami and Arrancar barehanded.
Pesquisa: Jarrett used his Pesquisa as a form of sonar.
Keen Intellect:
Garganta (黒腔(ガルガンタ)Spanish for Throat, Japanese for Black Cavity): Garganta is how Arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.
- Descorrer (解空(デスコレール), Desukorēru, Japanese for "Loosed Void", Spanish for Drawing Back/Opening): A technique used by Espada-level Arrancar and sometimes others, to open a Garganta between the Living World and Hueco Mundo. Jarret used the ability to travel to Kagamino City, where he would inevitably be confronted by members of Anika's vanguard.
Zanpakutō[]
Zapa la Vaina (鮫鞘 (さめざや); Spanish for "Sharkskin Scabbard"). Jarrett's Zanpakutō was sealed in the form of a large claymore-esque blade covered from tip-to-hilt in white-coloured cloth. The cloth served to both hide and restrict Zapa la Vaina's true form, which was that of a shark-like blade complete with a mouth at the top. Kenji found that Zapa la Vaina did not "cut", but rather "shredded" and "carved". When not in use Jarrett carried the blade on his back.
- Devourer of Souls (霊食い, Reikui; Literally meaning "Soul-Food"): Zapa la Vaina possessed the inherent ability to consume reishi. This extended to Kidō-based techniques, including Shunkō, as well as reiatsu-based techniques such as Kenji's various lightning-related skills. Jarrett could utilize this eaten reishi in a manner similar to Averian's own absorption skill, albeit nowhere near as potent, to bolster his own powers temporarily.
- Agua Dominio (水司令 (アグア ドミニオ), Agua Dominio; Spanish for "Water Domain", Japanese for "Water Control"): Zapa la Vaina's primary power was manipulation of water, specifically the moisture content in the surrounding atmosphere. He could utilize a number of water-based abilities and effects using his Zanpakutō as a medium. As observed by Kenji during their battle, Jarrett needed to retain physical contact with Zapa la Vaina to utiliz his water-based abilities. Additionally, it was revealed that Zapa la Vaina can activate two abilities at the same time.
- Vaho (狭霧 (バホ), Vaho; Spanish and Japanese for "Fog"):
- Agua Cuerpo (水胴 (アクア バディ), Agua Badei; Spanish for "Water Body", Japanese for "Water Frame"): As long as Jarret held his Zanpakuto, he can transform part if not all of his body into water. Agua Cuerpo ultimately allowed Jarrett to stealthily infiltrate locations, dodge attacks, and perform surprise attacks all on his own. It required a large amount of concentration to fully utilize and should Jarrett ever be distracted, even for a moment, the transformation would immediately back revert to his physical state.
- Tiburón Misil (鮫魚雷 (ティブロン ミシル), Tiburon Misiru; Spanish for "Shark Missile", Japanese for "Shark Torpedo"): Jarrett infuses his Zanpakuto with reiryoku and with a swing of the blade, unleashes a large blast of energy that coalesces into the shape of a Great White Shark. The attack possessed a great amount of stopping power behind it and was known to possess minor tracking capabilities that make it difficult for others to escape from.
- Tiburón Misil Bombardeo (鮫魚雷砲撃 (ティブロン ミシル ボムバド), Tiburon Misiru Bomubado ; Spanish for "Shark Missile Barrage", Japanese for "Shark Torpedo Bombardment"): Jarrett swings his reiryoku infused Zanpakuto multiple times to unleash a barrage of Great White Shark-shaped energy blasts.
- Resurrección: Jarrett released his Zanpakutō with the command "Hunt" (探索, Tansaku). Release of his Resurrección transformed Jarrett into a monstrous shark-like hybrid creature with razor-sharp fins and webbed limbs. The abilities already inherent to Zapa la Vaina whilst sealed where augmented and applies directly to Jarrett's body; he could thus absorb reishi through physical touch and utilize strengthened water-based abilities.
Resurrección Special Ability: Jarrett's Resurrección allowed him to take on the properties of a Great White Shark. It granted him improved defense and greatly enhanced Water Manipulation abilities.
- Anguila Hierro (鰻鋼皮 (アングリラ イエロ), Angurira Iero; Spanish for "Eel Iron", Japanese for "Eel Steel Skin"): Jarrett's Resurrección greatly enhanced his Hierro to a degree that bestowed him with immense durability to attacks and typically remained unharmed. Jarrett regularly felt no pain in this form and was generally able to ignore point-blank Hadō spells with little hindrance. A special property of Anguila Hierro was that it gave Jarrett great resistance to electrical-based attacks, allowing him to shrug them off with little discomfort.
- Enhanced Agua Dominio: Jarrett's Resurrección significantly enhanced the Arrancar's ability to manipulate water, including the abilities used with his base Zanpakuto. Jarrett's Enhanced Aqua Dominio allowed him to perform incredible feats he otherwise could not achieve in his base form such as the ability to remotely control water at a distance as well as wield immense bodies of water. This vastly improved his combat potential and overall lethality.
- Agua Mundo (水圏 (アグア ムンド), Agua Mundo; Spanish for "Water World", Japanese for "Water Sphere"):
- Violento Cascada (激烈飛瀑 (ビロレント ウォーターフォール), Birorento Uoutaafouru; Spanish for "Violent Waterfall", Japanese for "Intense Waterfall From A High Place") :
- El Maremoto (大々的津波 (エル マレモト), Eru Maremoto; Spanish for "The Tsunami", Japanese for "Great Tidal Wave"):
- Megalodón (巨大鮫 (メガロドン), Megarodon; Spanish for "Megalodon", Japanese for "Gigantic Shark"):
Resurrección: Segunda Etapa (刀剣解放第二階層 (レスレクシオン・セグンダ・エターパ), resurekushion segunda etāpa; Spanish for "Resurrection Second Stage", Japanese for "Sword's Release: Second Level"): not yet revealed. Jarrett was known to have gained access to the form after joining Averian's Espada.
