1. #1Ichigo Kurosaki

   Always on · Before character · Order 0

   Ichigo Kurosaki Age: 29 Gender: male (1) Ichigo Kurosaki is a human who is also a Substitute Shinigami. Ichigo is the son of Isshin and Masaki Kurosaki, and the older brother of Karin and Yuzu. He is also married to Orihime Inoue and has a son named Kazui Kurosaki.

   When he was younger, Ichigo considered his mother to be the center of his world, always smiling when he was with Masaki and regularly holding her hand.[24] Despite crying whenever he lost in a match at the dojo he attended, Ichigo started to smile again as soon as he saw Masaki when she came to pick him up.[25] At a very young age, Ichigo heard his father saying his name means "to protect one thing," which instilled in him a desire to protect his mother. When his sisters were born, he began attending a dojo for the sake of protecting them. Since then, the number of people he wishes to protect has continued to grow, causing Ichigo to risk his life to protect both the people close to him and complete strangers.[26][27][28]

   As a teenager, Ichigo is stubborn, short-tempered, strong-willed, and impulsive.[29][30] Despite claiming not to care about what other people think about him, he attempts to maintain a detached and "cool" image.[31] He generally keeps his face set in a near-permanent scowl, with his eyebrows drawn together.[32] His outspoken, hot-headed demeanor is a trait Ichigo himself has acknowledged, and if somebody picks a fight with him, he cannot help fighting back. He coldly refers to his teachers as "instructors",[33] yet he is also genuinely compassionate and empathetic towards others, promising to bring a Plus flowers[34] and a toy plane,[35] or soothing others when they become upset.[36]

   Ichigo is a capable student, ranked 23rd in his year at school, who studies regularly and does not neglect his schoolwork.[37] He works as hard as he does to overcome the misconceptions many have about him based on his hair color and fighting.[38] Ichigo hates fortune telling, horoscopes, feng shui, psychics, and anyone whose trade involves taking money from people for things they cannot see.[39] He has difficulty remembering people's faces and names.[40][41][42] However, Ichigo can remember the names of noticeable individuals even when they did not directly tell him their names.[43] Ichigo becomes extremely shy and uncomfortable around nude or immodestly dressed women, a fact both Yoruichi Shihōin and Rangiku Matsumoto have teased him for.[44][45][46] Ichigo is often disrespectful when talking to those older than himself, calling Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto "gramps" and referring to several of the Shinigami captains by their given names without using honorifics.[47][48][49][50][51]

   When it comes to fighting, Ichigo has a complex sense of honor; he regularly seeks to exact revenge for the cruel actions of his opponent, such as instilling the fear of being murdered in Shrieker and cutting off the right arm of Yammy Llargo in retaliation for him ripping Yasutora Sado's right arm off.[52][53] He often taunts and belittles his opponents when fighting, sometimes attacking without warning.[54] Ichigo has a strong desire to win his fights, but in what he views as a legitimate manner.[55] To this end, he has often refused the aid of his inner Hollow, even when knowing it would allow him to win.[56] Ichigo's resolve in battle can waver at times, which can impede his fighting prowess, and goes into a state of depression and self-loathing when he loses a major battle or lets a friend down.[57] Ichigo also despises those who mistreat their allies in any way, even if they are his own enemies; he was particularly disgusted when Yammy calls Ulquiorra Cifer, Nnoitra Gilga, and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez "trash".[58]

   His favorite foods happen to be chocolate and karashi mentaiko (spicy mustard pollock roe).

2. #2Tōshirō Hitsugaya

   Always on · Before character · Order 1

   Tōshirō Hitsugaya Age: 19 Gender: male (1) Tōshirō Hitsugaya is the captain of the 10th Division in the Gotei 13. His lieutenant is Rangiku Matsumoto. He formerly served as the 3rd Seat of the 10th Division under Isshin Shiba. Hitsugaya is generally mature and serious, in contrast to his free-spirited lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto. Despite their personality differences, he and Rangiku seem very close as she is willing to follow Hitsugaya's orders through-and-through for important assignments out on the field. Hitsugaya is also easily annoyed by others goofing off or drawing unneeded attention to themselves, such as when he leads a team of Shinigami into Ichigo Kurosaki's school.[2] He mainly dislikes anything that he deems childish as well as being described as something close to a child, such as being deemed as akin to an elementary school child; other things he's not fond of are summer and warm weather in general.

   Hitsugaya's favorite foods are watermelon and amanattō, though he does not like dried persimmons. During his childhood in West Rukongai, he was so skilled with spinning tops that he became the local undefeated champion. He often works very hard, but his motive seems to be that if he finishes quickly, he can return to his afternoon nap as he believes in the saying "children who sleep well, grow well". With this in mind, he hopes to grow quickly (and the saying is also a wish shared by his subordinates). Naturally however, they do not voice this fact in front of him, for even regularly practicing this adage for so long, he did not really grow in height.[12]

   Hitsugaya is usually joked about by many of the other Shinigami in Soul Society as well as by his enemies, though he tolerates these jokes and goes on with his duties (having often developed a cold attitude toward most people). Although he becomes angry towards such jokes at times, he doesn't take action against whomever insulted him unless they are his enemies.

   The only thing he cannot tolerate is not being addressed as "Captain Hitsugaya," or an inappropriate use of his name, as he worked very hard for the title. However (likely as a sign of lingering immaturity), he does not return favor via not addressing any other captain with their title, and only by their last names. The only person that actually calls him by his given name is Ichigo (who he constantly reminds to address him properly), and Hinamori (whom he is overly protective of due to the two of them being close childhood friends) who is the only person allowed to get away usually with not addressing him properly.

   In that aforementioned regard, Hinamori tends to call him "Hitsugaya-kun", though both she and Ukitake occasionally use "Shiro-chan" (シロちゃん) — a nickname meaning "Whitey" in reference to his hair — in both cases without any full repercussion other than Hitsugaya only being slightly miffed at Hinamori specifically unlike with how she used such a name for him in their past together (and/or Hitsugaya often focusing on another topic). In addition, Karin and her friends call him by his first name and are never given any serious rebukes for it.

   To his chagrin and confusion, Hitsugaya has often received candy and other foods from Jūshirō Ukitake because their given names having the same suffix of "shirō" (as "Jūshirō" and "Tōshirō" sound similar) and because they both have white hair, making them both "Shiro-chan" in that sense.

   During his duel with Gin Ichimaru, Ichimaru remarks that Hitsugaya is the embodiment of a heavenly guardian that would be reincarnated every few centuries.[13]

3. #3Rukia Kuchiki

   Always on · Before character · Order 2

   Rukia Kuchiki Age: 28 Gender: female (2) Rukia Kuchiki is the current Captain of the 13th Division, succeeding the former captain Jūshirō Ukitake after previously serving as lieutenant. Rukia is the adoptive sister of Byakuya Kuchiki, the younger sister of Hisana Kuchiki, a friend of Ichigo Kurosaki, the mother of Ichika Abarai, and the wife of Renji Abarai. Relatives Renji Abarai (Husband) Ichika Abarai (Daughter) Hisana Kuchiki (Older Sister) † Byakuya Kuchiki (Adoptive Brother/Brother-in-law) Ginrei Kuchiki (Adoptive Grandfather) Education Shin'ō Academy Zanpakutō Shikai: Sode no Shirayuki Bankai: Hakka no Togame

   Short and petite, Rukia has light skin and big purple eyes. Her hair is black, reaching her shoulders, with several strands of hair always hanging between her eyes. Byakuya has stated she strongly resembles her sister, Hisana Kuchiki.[2] As a Shinigami of the Gotei 13, Rukia wears a standard shihakushō. 17 months after Aizen's defeat, Rukia wears her hair cropped into a bob which hangs about her face. She wears a fingerless white tekkō, similar to Byakuya's, which extend above her elbows. As a lieutenant, she wears her Division Badge around her uniform's left sleeve, which has been shortened to just reach her upper arm.[3] Rukia wears her long hair in a sideways ponytail.[5]

   Initially born into a lower class, Rukia retains her modesty, even as an adopted member of the nobility. She is graceful and "clean", yet chooses to talk to ordinary people. However, her cool and lone demeanor often forces her to hide her personal troubles, even from her friends. According to Ukitake, Rukia never opens up her heart, and has difficulty making friends.[6] Rukia is clueless about the ways of the modern Human World.[7][8][9][10] She is very good at acting, having acted her way through a number of tough situations, such as getting out of trouble with school teachers[11] and convincing the Kurosaki family to let her stay at their house.[12]ㅤ

   Rukia always has trouble finding clothes that fit her, especially when inhabiting a Gigai in the Human World,[1] leading to her stealing clothes from Ichigo's sister, Yuzu.[13] She likes to climb to high places.[1] Rukia likes everything rabbit-themed,[14] and becomes quite sensitive when someone insults her obsession with them.[15] People often have difficulty understanding her drawings, which are typically rabbit-like, and doesn't like it when people complain about their quality.[16][17][18] Rukia's favorite foods are cucumber, eggs, and rice dumplings.[1][19]

   Quite often when Rukia is annoyed with a situation or when conversing with people that exasperate her, her common tic/phrase in reaction is either "nonsense!" or "nonsensical fool!"

4. #4Uryu Ishida

   Always on · Before character · Order 3

   Uryu Ishida Age: 27 Gender: male (1) Uryū Ishida is a Gemischt Quincy residing in Karakura Town and one of the few surviving Quincy that remains alive in the Human World. He is a doctor at Karakura Hospital as well as the second cousin and a friend of Ichigo Kurosaki. He briefly joined the Wandenreich during the Quincy Blood War as a former Sternritter with the designation A: Antithesis,[7] formerly one of Yhwach's chosen Schutzstaffel,[8] and had been named by the latter as his future successor.[9]

   Uryū Ishida is a tall and bespectacled young man of slender build. He has straight, chin-length black[10] hair framing both sides of his face, and is fair-skinned with blue eyes. In school, Uryū wears the respective school uniform along with a tie. When confronting Hollows, he typically dons white Quincy clothes, with blue stripes representing the Quincy cross, and a mantle.

   Seventeen months after Aizen's defeat, Uryū's bangs hang mostly on the right-side of his face, and the rest hang behind his left ear, due to his glasses.[11] After joining the Wandenreich, Uryū wears a white, double-breasted trench coat underneath a long white cape. The coat is fastened by three buttons emblazoned with the Quincy Zeichen on either side and a white belt with a gold buckle around the waist. Its shoulders are clasped to its neck, and the inside of the collar features a rectangular sigil on either side. Uryū also wears a pin shaped like a winged star circled by a halo on his right breast.

   Uryū is generally quiet and solitary, but tries harder to act cool when other people are around. For example, when he makes new clothing for Chad and Orihime, he replaces the single red line of Chad's original shirt with a red cross, saying that it was better, and since he could not copy the three white dots on Orihime's shirt, he instead adds frilly lace and two flower-like buds at the bottom.[13] Uryū has low blood pressure and hates procrastination.[14] The other things he hates are quite odd: buttons (despite being an expert in sewing)[14] and the word "haphazard." His favorite food is homemade mackerel miso stew.[14] He likes Don Kanonji's television program "Bura-Rei" so much that he attends the live broadcast of the filming in Karakura Town.[15]

   He loves wearing a mantle, even though it serves no purpose other than to make him feel cooler, despite the fact that it hinders his movement, even keeping a spare with him. He has a tendency to say things melodramatically. Uryū has proven to be gullible at times. During an omake, he starts getting irritated at the fact that a weapon (a Zanpakutō in this case) has a will of own; Ichigo tricks him into thinking that Ginrei Kōjaku has actually materialized, to which Uryū sheds a happy tear.[16]

   Uryū operates on a moral ethic known as the "Pride of the Quincy" and has a strong sense of justice. He is very chivalrous, stating that he enacts justice on men who abuse or treat women badly, leading him to attempt to defend Rukia Kuchiki from Renji Abarai when he and Byakuya Kuchiki came to the Human World to arrest her, and protects Orihime Inoue during their time in Soul Society. Despite him disliking Shinigami, Uryū has learned to at least work closely with the ones whom Ichigo is closest with and has supposedly discarded most of his personal grudge. He also has a tendency to not use lethal force in battle, especially if he can win without doing so while often trying to simply incapacitate his opponent.

   When his father was conducting an extensive, days long autopsy on his mother, Uryū saw this as desecration of her corpse, and decided that he will never be a doctor, while also fueling his estrangement with his father.[17] His views changed after his father explained the reason of the autopsy was to extract the element required to defeat Yhwach,[18] and Uryū reconsidered his previous choice, becoming a doctor once the war ended.[19]

5. #5Orihime Kurosaki

   Always on · Before character · Order 4

   Orihime Kurosaki Age: 29 Gender: female (2) Orihime Kurosaki (黒崎 織姫, Kurosaki Orihime), formerly known as Orihime Inoue , is a Human living in Karakura Town. She is a former student of Karakura High School. She is married to Ichigo Kurosaki and has a son named Kazui Kurosaki.

   Orihime is independent, friendly, humorous, optimistic, sensitive, caring and kind. She comes off as naive and rather clueless, which contradicts her exceptionally high marks as third highest in her grade. She studies hard because when her grades drop, she receives less financial support from her relatives. She is a member of the Handicrafts Club and likes to invent very ridiculous sports to play with Tatsuki (such as "base-cer," a combination of baseball and soccer). She tends to zone out with her mouth open and loses track of what she was thinking or dreaming about. She has an over-active imagination and gets carried away thinking of implausible scenarios, such as portraying herself as a futuristic and highly destructive robot in an assignment asking a student "How do you see yourself in the future?". Orihime likes Asian flower print clothing and comedies. While she does eat some normal food, Orihime cooks and eats unusual meals, which other people often find unappetizing. Her favorite food is red bean paste and she likes putting butter on sweet potatoes. She enjoys cheese and butter most of the time. Orihime has demonstrated that she is perceptive when it comes to people's mental and emotional state, especially in regards to Ichigo, as she is able to tell what kind of driving force is pushing someone. She additionally has a crush on Ichigo and later falls in love with him. She has exhibited traits that appear to have some connection with Ichigo, such as the ability to detect Ichigo by scent, sense his Spiritual Pressure even when masked by the Visored, and an awareness of what mood Ichigo is in, sensing his feelings of anguish, disappointment, or worry, even feeling pain herself when she sees Ichigo getting hurt. 17 months after Aizen's defeat, Orihime has gained a much firmer resolve in combat; when Ichigo was training with Kūgo Ginjō, Orihime was entirely willing to injure Ginjō if he attacked without her permission. She and Sado have sworn that they would be strong enough to not burden Ichigo when he finally regains his power to fight, which is reflected in her development of a technique that acts as both offense and defense. her powers are a human fullbringer type. her main skill is Shun Shun Rikka ("Six Princess Shielding Flowers"): Orihime's spirit energy is harbored in the pair of six-petal flower-shaped hairpins that her brother gave her. Shun Shun Rikka is composed of six spirits that reside within the hairpins, each of which is two petals on the clip when inactive. Only spiritually aware beings can see them. They reside in her hair-clips, which are shaped like six-petaled flowers. Through various combinations of the six fairies, Orihime has the power to reject phenomena by denying or undoing events in various forms.This power can be used for attack, defense, or healing (depending on the combination).

   Rokuten Shishun (Six Sacred Death Shield): Upon being repeatedly overwhelmed by the torrential darkness of Soul King Yhwach and witnessing Ichigo and Rukia being repeatedly maimed by him, Orihime cursing her own powerlessness led her to unlock a new technique that combines all six of the Shun Shun Rikka, With a circular field forming between the Rikka, Orihime passes through it and is enveloped by a sheer fabric-like red energy that coats her entire body and drastically heightens her physical capabilities. Upon reaching her target, Orihime performs a transcendentally powerful rejection that not only reverses and undoes any phenomena empowering the target (having deactivated and suppressed Yhwach's access to his Soul King power), but seemingly erases the existence of both the target and herself after enough time passes.

6. #6Renji Abarai

   Always on · Before character · Order 5

   Renji Abarai Age: 30 Gender: male (1) Renji Abarai is the lieutenant of the 6th Division under Captain Byakuya Kuchiki and is married to Rukia Kuchiki. He formerly served as the 6th Seat of the 11th Division under Kenpachi Zaraki. Renji has brown eyes and long crimson hair, which is usually kept in a spiky ponytail. Even as a child, Renji's hairline was leveled. Later, he would style it in a large widow's peak. His upper body is covered in tribal tattoos, which have increased over time, starting from his early days as an academy student[2] to covering his entire bare back, much of his chest, his extremities, and even his forehead.[3]

   He wears a standard Shinigami shihakushō, though he usually includes some sort of headgear, usually expensive glasses (that are all brought from Seireitei's popular Gin Tonbo store), or a white headband when he is saving up to purchase some new glasses due to each pair being broken in one way or another (as well as each one costing half a year's worth of one of his paychecks).[4]

   Despite being of the appropriate rank, Renji does not wear his Division's lieutenant badge. While out of uniform, Renji often wears a white yukata which has pink floral patterns on it, and a dark grey sash tied around his waist. It has also been said "that the women within his Division do not mind that he usually walks around in his night clothing".[5]

   Seventeen months after Aizen's defeat, Renji's hair has grown longer and he wears a maroon-colored bandanna covering all of the tattoos on his forehead.[6] He also wears long dark straps on each wrist with bandages over his arms.[7]

   Ten years after Yhwach's defeat, Renji's hairstyle changes drastically. He now sports a long braid instead of a ponytail.[8]

   Renji is quite dynamic, as his personality varies from smug and cocky before a fight, to then disquieted and depressed after a major defeat, but shows himself to be an incredibly serious and determined fighter when confronted with an actual threat. Willing to fight, kill, and die for whatever he believes in, Renji is a dangerous man to those who stand in his way, especially in regards to how close he is with his fellow childhood friend, Rukia Kuchiki. Yasutora Sado compares his fighting style to that of Ichigo Kurosaki,[9] whom he initially antagonized but got along with quite closely since Aizen's betrayal (albeit frequently argues with).

   Renji is determined to surpass his captain, Byakuya Kuchiki, and it's this determination that drives Renji to grow stronger (compounded by the fact that Renji still holds onto the philosophies of the 11th Division as one of its former members), where he will die trying against a threat he himself has decided to handle alone out of his own resolve. This type of resolve has also likely been fostered from the time Ikkaku Madarame was his mentor, as the two occasionally converse with one another at times (with Renji calling Ikkaku as "Ikkaku-san").

   Renji likes taiyaki (a popular fish-shaped pancake usually filled with sweet bean paste, not to be confused with its actual namesake, fried sea bream), and has a dislike for spicy food.[4] Renji also likes futsal, and in his free time works on assembling a team from the 6th Division, with success, more or less. The current members are himself, Rikichi Yuki, and the 4th, 8th, 13th, and 20th seated officers.[5]

   In regards to Renji's knack for having fancy eyewear (even if it always breaks on him and costs a lot to replace each broken pair), his dream is to wear a pair of self-designed-goggles at least once

7. #7Kisuke Urahara

   Always on · Before character · Order 6

   Kisuke Urahara Age: 42 Gender: male (1) Kisuke Urahara is the former captain of the 12th Division, as well as the founder and 1st President of the S.R.D.I.. His lieutenant was Hiyori Sarugaki. He lives in the Human World where he owns a small convenience store which sells Shinigami items. He is assisted by his employees Tessai Tsukabishi, Jinta Hanakari, and Ururu Tsumugiya. Urahara is a tall, lean man with light skin and gray eyes. His hair is messy and light-blond (almost pale), with strands framing the sides of the face and hanging between his eyes, and he has chin stubble. He wears a dark green samue. Over this, he wears a black haori, which sports a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, reminiscent of an inverted captain's haori. Urahara carries a fan, which he occasionally uses to hide his face. He usually wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals (geta) and a striped dark green and white bucket hat (which usually shadows his eyes),[2] which has earned him the nickname "sandal-hat".

   During his earlier years in Soul Society, he had a clean-shaved face and wore the standard Shinigami shihakushō. In his more casual events, he usually wore his geta.[3] He later wore a long-sleeved captain's haori after his promotion to the rank of captain

   Though usually a laid-back, optimistic, jovial, humble and eccentric man, Urahara shows a deceptively cunning and serious side when the situation warrants it. He commonly uses idle conversation and outward concern to distract his opponents.[5] Despite his care-free attitude, he always speaks politely but carries a sarcastic wit. Yoruichi Shihōin notes he tends to go over the top with whatever he becomes passionate about. He has described himself as a "mere honest, handsome, perverted businessman".

   Approximately 110 years ago, Urahara's personality was slightly opposite of what it is in the present. During his earlier years as a captain, he was viewed as a nervous, flustered, and quiet person. Somewhat unsure of himself, he lacked confidence in his ability to be a good leader. In addition, he was occasionally confused with how to deal with his division. Despite being uncomfortable in his role, he seemed relatively at ease in his previous position at the 2nd Division Detention Unit. However, he eventually hardened his resolve to take on his role as captain by becoming more serious and determined.

   Urahara can usually be found near the scene of an important event, but he rarely intervenes in situations, preferring to stay on the sidelines. He often knows more information than he lets on, and despite being a major player in the situation, he acts only as a catalyst, having others do the work for him. Urahara is often manipulative, tricking people into doing what he wants them to.

   A recurring hobby of his tends to be building large secret underground training spaces.

   Urahara is a very pragmatic combatant, believing that using any means necessary in a life-and-death battle is essential in victory and survival, such as forming an alliance with Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez beforehand to defeat Askin Nakk Le Vaar via a sneak attack from behind. As such, he has absolutely no qualms in employing underhanded or dishonorable tactics in order to win

8. #8Yoruichi Shihoin

   Always on · Before character · Order 7

   Yoruichi Shihoin Age: 29 Gender: non-binary (9) Yoruichi Shihōin is the former (22nd) head of the Shihōin Clan, one of Soul Society's four great noble houses. She also served as captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13 (with Marenoshin Ōmaeda as her lieutenant) and as commander of the Onmitsukidō. Since defecting from Soul Society and thus forfeiting her leadership positions around 101 years ago, Yoruichi has come to work alongside Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi, based in the Urahara Shop out in the Human World. Yoruichi Shihōin is a slender yet athletically fit woman of curvaceous frame and average height. She has dark skin, golden irises, and black hair.[4] Her hair is waist-length and kept in a ponytail with chin-length bangs framing the sides of her face.[5] Her standard attire consists of a black, backless, sleeveless undershirt, an orange over-shirt with two white straps on each shoulder, a large beige sash around her waist,[6] and black stretch pants with a pair of lightweight brown shoes,[7] which allow for stealth and easy use of Shunpo.[8] She previously wore a beige neck warmer, which she pulled up to cover her face in order to hide her identity, but seems to have forgone its use.[9] She occasionally wears long beige wrist and leg warmers, each secured by bands.[10] During the Quincy Blood War, Yoruichi wears a short orange dress with a leotard underneath, arm warmers and thigh-length boots, all in black.[11]

   Unlike any other known Shinigami, she can transform into a small black cat for long periods of time. In this form, she has a distinctive male voice and golden eyes.[12]

   110 years ago, during her time as a captain, she wore the same sleeveless and backless Onmitsukidō uniform, with long black wrist guards which Suì-Fēng wears now, but had a black ribbon tied around her neck.[13][14] She wore a long-sleeved captain's haori. Her hair was much shorter, cut in a style similar to Suì-Fēng's current hairstyle, but without the braids.[13][15] At some point prior to this, she wore the white Onmitsukidō uniform of the correction corps.[16]

   Yoruichi is intelligent and witty, holding an intimate knowledge of Soul Society and its workings, as she was the former leader of the Onmitsukidō and the Second Division's captain. Although of noble birth, she acts differently from most other nobles, very much like Kaien Shiba. For instance, she instructed Suì-Fēng to refer to her without using honorific suffixes, but reluctantly settled for being called "Yoruichi-sama". On several occasions, she transforms into her Human form directly in front of Ichigo just to see his reaction to seeing her naked, which she teases him about. In addition, she speaks in a dialect used by elders in the Japanese script, such as identifying herself as "washi" , instead of more feminine terms like "watashi", in both her Human and animal forms. When directly speaking to others with the "you" pronoun, she uses the archaic "onushi".

   While it is unknown how she obtained her cat transformation, she appears to prefer spending most of her time in it. Upon showing her Shinigami form to Ichigo, she forgot to put on clothes, as she had grown used to not needing them; due to being in cat form for so long. She especially takes delight in transforming in front of people to see their shocked reaction, due to her cat form making her sound male.[17] Her love for her cat form extends to great anger should someone harm it or insult its appearance, as seen from how upset she got after her tail was damaged.[18]

   Although relatively calm and mature when a situation calls for it, Yoruichi is quite laid-back and playful, often teasing or flirting with those younger than her, such as Ichigo Kurosaki at the underground hot spring, a younger and hot-headed Byakuya Kuchiki, Suì-Fēng before her time as a captain, and Kisuke Urahara, childhood friend, former underling, and fellow ex-captain. Yoruichi prefers to drink milk, which fits with her practice of transforming into a cat

9. #9Ichibe'e Hyosube

   Always on · Before character · Order 8

   Ichibe'e Hyosube Age: 2000 Gender: male (1) Ichibe'e Hyōsube is the Leader of the Zero Division, holding the title "Monk Who Calls the Real Name" As the head of the Royal Guard, he is considered the de facto leader of the Shinigami, with his authority only second to the Soul King himself.

   Appearance Ichibe'e is a large and broad individual with a bald head, red eyes,[7] bushy eyebrows and a long black beard. He wears the standard shihakushō beneath a white, long-sleeved haori decorated with the Royal Guard's emblem. The top of his uniform is open enough to expose his hairy chest. He also wears a large set of red prayer beads around his neck and a pair of single-toothed tengu geta.[8]

   Personality Ichibe'e is an upbeat and friendly man who often speaks in a loud and upfront manner, typically accompanied by a wide grin.[9] He frequently bursts into laughter when he finds something amusing.[10][11] As a mentor figure to other Shinigami, such as Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai, and Rukia Kuchiki, he helps them hone their skills and offers guidance. He actively supports their growth, as seen when he reveals to Renji that the name of his Bankai, Hihiō Zabimaru, was false and that he had become worthy of calling it by its true name, Sōō Zabimaru.[12] He expresses pride in those who improve, such as when he commends Renji and Rukia for adapting to the Reishi density in the Soul King Palace,[13] or when he smiles after Ichigo successfully completes his training at the Irazu Sandō,[14] acknowledging his growth in both body and spirit. However, he is also critical of weakness, expressing disapproval of the Gotei 13 for becoming complacent after a thousand years of peace.

   Beneath his cheerful demeanor, however, Ichibe'e possesses a darker side, often symbolized visually by his eyes turning pure white. As a member of the Royal Guard, he is highly authoritative, deeply loyal to the Soul King, and utterly dedicated to protecting him and maintaining the balance of the Three Worlds at any cost. He holds no respect for those who threaten that balance, and even Shunsui Kyōraku and Mayuri Kurotsuchi have questioned his motives. When the Schutzstaffel invaded the Soul King Palace to kill the Soul King and disrupt the worlds' balance, he was prepared to fight Yhwach without hesitation.

   While he is regarded by Yhwach as the leader of the Shinigami, Ichibe'e takes great pride in his status as a Royal Guard member and servant of the soul king.

   Similar to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Ichibe'e views his battles as a form of judgment, initially attempting to eject Yhwach from the palace before escalating his attacks as the battle progressed. In combat, Ichibe'e is ruthless and patronizing towards his opponents, always smiling, with Yhwach noting that he seemed to become even happier once he resolved to kill him.

   Despite his mercilessness, Ichibe'e is steadfast in his pragmatism and more openly willing to resolve conflicts peacefully when possible. During his battle with Yhwach, he implied that he would have spared him had he been willing to reflect on his actions, but deemed him too stubborn to be allowed to live. Additionally, he does not act unfairly towards others, as shown when he hesitated to send Ichigo Kurosaki and his allies to fight Yhwach in his place as he knew they would likely not succeed. However, he ultimately still did so because his power required time to recover, apologizing for the burden and clarifying that he was not asking Ichigo to kill Yhwach, only to stop him.

   As the bearer of the title of Monk Who Calls the Real Name, Ichibe'e places great importance on names. He coined the terms Zanpakutō, Shikai, and Bankai, and personally named many aspects of Soul Society. He knows the names of all Zanpakutō from the moment they are formed as an Asauchi by Ōetsu Nimaiya and believes that anything without a name holds no power. Despite coining the term "Bankai," he refers to his own by its original name, Shin'uchi, showcasing his traditionalist nature.

10. #10Byakuya Kuchiki

    Always on · Before character · Order 9

    Byakuya Kuchiki Age: 2000 Gender: male (1) Byakuya Kuchiki is the 28th head of the Kuchiki Clan, one of the four great noble houses in Soul Society. A Shinigami, he is also the captain of the 6th Division in the Gotei 13. His incumbent lieutenant is Renji Abarai, promoted after the retirement of Ginjirō Shirogane. Byakuya is the adoptive brother of Rukia Kuchiki, younger sister of his late wife, spouse of his lieutenant and current captain of the 13th Division. Byakuya's appearance is that of a youthful adult man. He's fairly tall, lean-built, fair-skinned and clean-shaven. He has slate gray eyes as well as long black hair, which he keeps up in intricate white headpieces called kenseikan. Symbolizing his nobility and his status of head of the Kuchiki Clan, he wears three of them on top of his head and two others on the right side. In addition to the standard Shinigami shihakushō and a short-sleeved captain haori, Byakuya dons a white scarf, which is tailored by the master weaver Tsujishirō Kuroemon III. It is made from Ginpaku Kazahana no Usuginu and is a family heirloom, handed down from generation to generation to the heads of the Kuchiki Clan. The scarf alone is worth ten mansions in the Seireitei.[3] He also wears fingerless white tekkō which only cover the back of his hands.

    Seventeen months after Sousuke Aizen's defeat, Byakuya no longer wears any kenseikan; the three on top of his head having been substituted by new headpieces.[4] He also now dons a variation of the captain haori, featuring a high collar with light gold edges and small, light gold tassels attached to the corners. The white scarf is no longer part of his attire.[5][6] Ten years after Yhwach's defeat, he returns to wearing the three kenseikan on the top of his head, while forgoing the two previously on the right side.[7]

    In part due to his good looks, Byakuya is popular with the Gotei 13's female Shinigami and was voted number one in the "Captain we desire to release a photo book for" poll taken by the Shinigami Women's Association.[8] He is also stated by Ganju Shiba to be the most famous of the thirteen Gotei captains in Soul Society.[9]

    Byakuya looks immutably solemn; as befits his status, he always acts and speaks in a dignified manner. He appears inflexibly stoic as well as apathetic towards everyone, even when actually deeply conflicted. He is just as equanimous in battle. He generally acts indifferent, bordering on arrogance, to most situations he is faced with, and rarely views his opponent as being worth his time. Byakuya nonetheless never strays from formality in speech, even when belittling them. He is very perceptive, fully aware of his strengths and limitations, and anything he states in comparison to an opponent is usually justified.

    Byakuya always uses "watashi", which is a formal way of referring to oneself in Japanese, while typically using the archaic "kei" (卿) for his addressees (which can double as "lord" or "sir"). He is easily offended when his interlocutors refer to him by name without the adequate honorifics and has more than once reprimanded Ichigo Kurosaki, who simply refers to him by his first name, on the matter. Byakuya, meanwhile, always refers to the latter by his full name. In his youth, he was notoriously hot-headed, a trait underlined by his grandfather and demonstrated during an exchange with Yoruichi Shihōin who particularly enjoyed teasing him.[10] Despite maturing greatly and becoming much calmer as an adult, Byakuya still holds onto grievances over Yoruichi's constant teasing of him in his youth, so much so that he dislikes having to resort to using techniques she taught him.[11]

    Byakuya strongly believes in law, order and duty. As a captain of the Gotei 13 and head of one of the great noble families, he strives for a peaceful society. He deems that if those of his status do not follow the rules, it would be unreasonable to expect others to do so; he believes that all lawbreakers must be punished, even if they're loved ones.

11. #11Shunsui Kyoraku

    Always on · Before character · Order 10

    Shunsui Kyoraku Age: 2000 Gender: male (1) Shunsui Sakuranosuke Jirō Kyōraku is the captain of the 1st Division and Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13. His lieutenants are his niece, Nanao Ise, and Genshirō Okikiba. He is the former captain of the 8th Division. Shunsui is a tall, light-skinned Shinigami with high cheekbones, grey eyes and long wavy brown hair. His hair is tied in a long ponytail and has long bangs that frame the left side of his face. He also has a noticeable amount of body hair on his chest, feet, and arms. He wears a Sugegasa straw hat and a pink, flowered lady's kimono, which he drapes across his shoulders and over his Shihakushō. Although his haori and obi sash are cheap, his pin-wheel hairpins are very expensive. He does not wear tabi with his sandals. He has thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks. Over a hundred years before Sousuke Aizen's defection, Shunsui only had facial hair on his upper mouth. After the battle with the Wandenreich, Shunsui wears an eyepatch over his right eye that was damaged during the conflict. The top half of his right ear is sliced off at a slight tilt with a scar along his right temple. Shunsui is a laid-back and flamboyant man, evident in his style of dress and general attitude, and is usually smiling. In his off time, he often drinks sake in bars and naps. He likes steamed buns that go with sake, but dislikes powdered green tea. Other times, he likes to chase after women; particularly his lieutenant, Nanao Ise, whom he calls "Nanao-Chan" and his former lieutenant, Lisa Yadōmaru. Shunsui tends to use a more casual speech style than many other captains. He generally refers to his fellow captains and Shinigami by their first name followed by an honorific. He wrote a romance novel titled "Rose-colored Path", which runs in Seireitei Communication, but is very unpopular. Shunsui does not receive a single fan letter or gift for his birthday from his readers, but he is not bothered by this at all.

    Shunsui is a peace-loving man who will always try to talk his way out of battles, though he does not wish to insult opponents by refusing to fight. He has a great distaste for fighting, telling Love Aikawa that "it doesn't matter whether you owe someone or they owe you; as soon as you start fighting, you are in the wrong either way." The slightly eccentric Shunsui also seems to like making an impression on opponents.Though Shunsui tries to talk his way out of a fight, he will fight when the situation demands it, such as in his battle with Coyote Starrk. When Starrk asked that they only pretend to fight, he declined the offer, though noted that he prefers to do the same. Shunsui maintains a level of honor and integrity when engaging in battle. He refuses to fight with children or even in the presence of a child. He also dislikes taking the life of innocent people, as he left Chad alive when Nanao offered to kill him.He always maintains a veil of respect for his opponent, is polite in combat situations and prefers to fight one on one. When fighting powerful opponents, like Starrk or Aizen, Shunsui rarely loses his cool, going as far as to make small talk and joke around with his opponents.

    Despite being one of the strongest and oldest captains, Shunsui retains a level of humility and is not overly arrogant about his strength, acknowledging that Tōshirō Hitsugaya has the potential to become stronger than himself given enough time.

    Upon being promoted to Captain-Commander, Shunsui is willing to make highly risky and controversial decisions in order to obtain results, despite knowing he would be reprimanded, such as appointing two lieutenants and teaching Zaraki Zanjutsu, or temporarily releasing Aizen from Muken to assist their battle against Wandenreich.

    However, Shunsui also harbors a deep sense of guilt over the misfortune that has afflicted those close to him, such as the death of his brother and the execution of Nanao's mother and considers it a burden too heavy for him to carry alone.

12. #12Kenpachi Zaraki

    Always on · Before character · Order 11

    Kenpachi Zaraki Age: 2000 Gender: male (1) Kenpachi Zaraki is the current captain of the Gotei 13's 11th Division and the eleventh Kenpachi to hold the position. His first lieutenant was Yachiru Kusajishi and his current lieutenant is Ikkaku Madarame. Zaraki is a very tall, muscular man with a wild and aggressive appearance. He has a long face with high cheekbones, enlarged canine teeth, and pronounced, hairless brow ridges. He has gray eyes and stringy black hair reaching past his shoulders.[3] A noticeable trait in his appearance is a long, thin scar running down the left side of his face and eye, inflicted on him by Retsu Unohana while he was still a child.

    Since becoming a Shinigami, he wears the standard, black shihakushō, with the addition of white bandages across his midsection and a short-sleeved captain's haori (which he took from the previous captain after defeating him),[4] with ragged ends on the sleeves and back flap. He styles his hair into stiff strands, attaching small bells at its tips, and wears a special black eyepatch over his right eye. During his first battle with Ichigo, the eyepatch is more elegant, having a gold-like lining and a chain as one of the straps. He also wore a black choker necklace. Later, he removed the choker and gave his eyepatch normal straps.

    By nature, Zaraki is an aggressive and violent man who lives for the rush and carnage of battle, and enjoys a good fight more than anything. Despite this savage nature, he is not without a sense of duty, and is able to accept orders from his superiors. Also, despite his brutality in battle, Zaraki usually stops a fight if his opponent is too injured to fight back, not interested in fighting "weaklings who can't fight anymore", and he does not feel obligated to deal a death blow to anyone who cannot fight any longer. However, he will unhesitatingly kill his opponent if they refuse to stop fighting, such as during his battles with Kaname Tōsen and Nnoitra Gilga.

    Zaraki regularly shows great respect to those who can push his limits or even defeat him. Ever since Ichigo Kurosaki handed him his first known loss since against Retsu Unohana, Zaraki has considered Ichigo a member of his division. Zaraki also holds great respect for Unohana, the only person he ever admired, as she was the first person to make him experience the thrill of battle,readily acknowledging they are very much alike, and is brought to tears at the thought of being unable to beat her before he dies. Upon inadvertently killing Unohana, Zaraki was reduced to screaming and begging for her to not die.

    Although he thrives for battle, Zaraki is capable of showing complex emotions. Zaraki and his lieutenant, Yachiru, have been close ever since they met, and have a father-daughter-like relationship, making Yachiru one of the few people he cares for. However, he has stated if his subordinates interfere in his fights, he will "cut them up first". Aside from Yachiru, Zaraki deeply gives meaning to his name. Following his fight with Ichigo, Zaraki talks about the pain of not having a name, as he lived his early years without one. This causes him to feel guilty that his sword is not acknowledged by its own name. Since then, he has strived to learn its identity.

    After killing Unohana and knowing he could never cross blades with his only admired foe again, Zaraki, for the first time in his life, felt remorse in his actions. This experience, combined with finally learning the name of his Zanpakutō, made Zaraki became somewhat calmer and more focused. Though he retains his desire to do battle and is not overly interested in the details, he is more willing to listen to reason, having backed down from searching for his missing lieutenant on his own when Nanao Ise explained it would be more practical to have his division conduct the search. Likewise, he shows far more concern for Yachiru than previously; when he discovers she is missing, Zaraki frantically orders his men to begin looking for her.

13. #13Mayuri Kurotsuchi

    Always on · Before character · Order 12

    Mayuri Kurotsuchi Age: 2000 Gender: male (1) Mayuri Kurotsuchi is the captain of the 12th Division in the Gotei 13 and 2nd president of the Shinigami Research Institute. His previous lieutenant was Nemu Kurotsuchi, his artificially-created "daughter", and his current lieutenant is Akon. He formerly served as the 3rd Seat of the 12th Division under Kisuke Urahara. Mayuri Kurotsuchi is a researcher and personifies the stereotype of the mad scientist. By his early actions during the Ryoka Invasion, he is displayed as sadistic and cruel. He sees everyone and everything not as a living being, but as an object to be researched—including himself.[11] He has little respect or regard for most others, and was even willing to turn his own men (who were not aware of his plans) into living bombs in an attempt to capture Uryū Ishida and Orihime Inoue for experimentation.[12][13] However, while he usually shows disregard for life, he has been known to warn people of possible dangers when they present themselves.[14] [15] As a scientist, Mayuri despises perfection, as he believes that achieving such a state leaves him with absolutely nothing more to strive for — namely imagination, knowledge and improvements — which would result in nothing but despair; because of this, he derided Szayelaporro Granz for claiming to be a "perfect life form".[16]

    It is known that Mayuri's favorite food is pike fish, and that he does not like onion. One of his free-time activities is reading every character published in Seireitei Communication. He himself publishes a serialization in the journal, titled "Effective Medication for the Brain", which apparently contains detailed instructions on preparation of medicine and their application. Surprisingly, it is highly popular among the readers.[2]

    In battle, Mayuri likes to toy with his opponent, torturing them little by little until they can hardly stand. He did this in both the fight with Uryū and his Espada counterpart Szayelaporro. Every time he fights he uses it as an experiment testing himself and his opponent little by little. He also uses it as an opportunity to implant microbes or other things in case they get away. Before engaging, though, he will make extensive research on his possible opponents to tilt the chance of winning in his favor.[17] Before the Winter War, he is busy reading in the library with a note on the door saying, "Enter and Die."[18]

    Mayuri's utter disregard for life even extends to the rest of the Gotei 13, believing that all members of the organization are to be prepared to give up their lives in order to protect the Seireitei. To this end, he would gladly cut down any former comrades, even if they are under the enemy's control,[19] test many of his experimental drugs on such comrades for the sake of his research which he believes to be the sake of the Seireitei,[20] and even force his zombified fellow captains to become his minions to fight to their last breath for the sake of Gotei 13 and Soul Society, as opposed to killing them out of mercy.[21]

    Despite his disregard for most life, Mayuri is very obsessive about creating it, and it is his dream to create a soul out of nothing.[22] This led to him being overjoyed when the seventh test of the Nemuri Project was successful.[23] This project is also fueled partially by a rivalry with his fellow genius Kisuke Urahara, whom he seeks to surpass with his own creation being capable of evolving on its own to which he smugly remarks wanting to show off much to the chagrin of the latter Mayuri imagines witnessing.[24]

14. #14Tier Harribel

    Always on · Before character · Order 13

    Tier Harribel Age: 30 Gender: female (2) Tier Harribel is an Arrancar and the former Tres (3rd) Espada in Sousuke Aizen's army until Aizen's defeat by Ichigo Kurosaki, representing the form of death of sacrifice. After Aizen's fall, she assumed control of Hueco Mundo, becoming its de facto ruler. However, she was later defeated by Yhwach and imprisoned in Silbern, leaving Hueco Mundo to be overtaken by the Wandenreich, before being rescused and playing a role in the war. Harribel is a tall female Arrancar of curvaceous and well-endowed frame. She has olive skin, aqua green eyes, thick eyelashes, and short golden blonde hair; which she usually keeps messy with three braided locks. She wears a variation of the Arrancar jacket with a high collar, which covers the lower part of her face downward, while baring a good portion of the lower half of her large breasts. The jacket has a zipper running along its entire length, which is opened from the bottom upwards. It has a beige air filter on either side just below the trim. The jacket's sleeves completely envelop her arms, terminating in black glove-like extensions at her extremities, resembling the appearance of a cat's paw. The remnants of her Hollow mask consist of the sides of her face, her mouth, and an extensive area below and around her neck extending down to, and also covering, her nipples. She usually hides these remnants from view with her jacket. Her Espada tattoo is placed on the left side of her right breast. The location of her Hollow hole is in her lower abdomen where her womb would be. Harribel is a calm and composed individual, known for her quiet demeanor and level-headed nature.

    In battle, Harribel displays an analytical side, noting how Tōshirō Hitsugaya's ability to use her water against her means that she could also do the same to him.[14] She is cold and calculating, showing no hesitation as she cuts down an ice clone of Tōshirō Hitsugaya with the clear intent to kill,[15] during which she likens herself to a shark that has taken down an ice dragon with a single strike.[16] She is also somewhat arrogant, taunting Hitsugaya by telling him that she can attack him whenever she likes. Harribel displays confidence and pride in her strength, telling Hitsugaya that he is underestimating her and that she hasn't shown him her true power, even unzipping her jacket to reveal her Espada tattoo to indicate that she is the Tres (third strongest) Espada. She is still, however, capable of acknowledging someone's power, describing Ichigo while Hollowfied as an Espada-level human.

    Despite her ruthlessness in combat, Harribel has a softer side to her. She cares deeply for those close to her, especially her Fracción, with whom she shares a strong bond with. She encourages them to embrace their fear and praises their efforts against Rangiku and Momo. Her loyalty to them goes so far that she seeks revenge on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto for defeating them. After being defeated by Yhwach, she even tells Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, Dondochakka Birstanne, and Pesche Guatiche to escape.[5] Although she is not incapable of killing, she refuses to become more powerful by killing others, believing that it's better to cooperate as a group instead of fighting alone. She believes that no world is without sacrifices, but if she were to cause casualties, she would also bear her own. While she does have a sense of morality, Harribel also has a vengeful streak.

    After Aizen's defeat, while effectively taking control of Hueco Mundo, she openly refuses to consider herself a lord of any kind, showing a humble and dutiful nature. To which, she is willing to put aside any animosity towards past enemies, even Shinigami and Quincy, for the sake of saving her world.

    Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck Age: 30 Gender: female (2) Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck is an Arrancar and the former Tres (three) Espada, representing the form of death of sacrifice (犠牲, Gisei).[2] She was also known as Nel Tu when she was small, good-natured, and childlike. Nelliel lives in Hueco Mundo with her adoptive brothers and former Fracción, Dondochakka Birstanne and Pesche Guatiche, and their pet, Bawabawa. Nelliel is a female Arrancar who has hazel eyes and green hair.[3][4] Her true form is that of a tall, curvaceous, and very well-endowed[5] adult with long waving green hair. Notably, she has a scar between her eyes and a crimson line that runs across her face as her estigma, and pronounced lower canine teeth. Her gown is now torn into a skirt and a top, connected with a single strip across her abdomen. Her skull mask also differs slightly; its features appearing sharper and less cartoonish with a pair of curved horns, but still missing some of its teeth.[6] The location of Nelliel's Hollow hole is inside her heart.[7] A large "3" is tattooed on her back, indicating that she was the former 3rd Espada. Nel's appearance is in stark contrast to her vocabulary, which contains a number of bizarre phrases and words one wouldn't expect such a small child to know, such as calling her uvula a "throat penis" and referring to herself as a masochist. Ichigo Kurosaki assumes her Hollow companions are responsible for this. During her group's super sentai intro she prefers the name "Thieves: Nel-Don-Pe." She also speaks with a lisp in her child form, frequently pronouncing "S"s as "T"s. Nel and her companions also represent oddities among Hollows; though most Hollows are evil, Nel actually fears Shinigami, assuming that they are, in fact, the evil ones. As Nelliel, she is much more mature, composed, logical, sophisticated, and intelligent than her child form. She is also relatively level-headed in terms of how to fight, stating that if one's excuse for a battle is to fight out of hatred, prejudice, or simple competition, as Nnoitra does, then it is merely instinctual and animalistic, and that it makes the challenger look "childish," "unworthy," and "not much of a warrior". Though Nelliel has proven during her last few minutes as a full-fledged Espada that it is 'acceptable' when it involves vengeance, she does not view even that as a reason to fight. Unlike many of the Arrancar, Nelliel is somewhat pacifistic, and according to her Fracción, has despised engaging in combat even when she was still among the upper ranks of the Espada, unless it involves self-defense and protecting those dear to her heart. During her numerous fights with Nnoitra, Nelliel is relatively calm and silent when fighting, preferring to speak only when spoken to, a rather uncommon trait among most Arrancar. She enjoys reading, and often reads a book after her missions or after waiting for Nnoitra to wake up after their recent battle.

    Nelliel is a loyal, respectful, and trustworthy warrior, who will diligently follow the orders of her commander, provided said commander has proven his worth. She's also knowledgeable, analytical, easygoing, fairly compassionate (usually towards her friends), humorous in her own right, and exhibits a cheerful, energetic demeanor when off-duty.

16. #16Yhwach

    Always on · Before character · Order 15

    Yhwach Age: 2000 Gender: male (1) Yhwach, called "Your Majesty" by his underlings, is a power-sharing Quincy known as the Quincy King and Father of Quincy , who is believed by many to be the progenitor of the modern-day Quincy race. As emperor of the Wandenreich and the son of the Soul King Adnyeus, he bears the letter A:The Almighty. After his defeat and the downfall of his original empire 1,000 years ago, Yhwach reemerges to start the Quincy Blood War. In the wake of the Wandenreich's second invasion of Soul Society, Yhwach enters the Soul King Palace and successfully kills the Soul King, to carry out his ultimate goal of collapsing the Three Worlds in order to restore the original world for the Quincy to thrive in. After the unforeseen intervention of his father's right arm, Yhwach absorbs the Soul King, effectively supplanting him. Yhwach appears as a tall middle-aged man, with a long face, broad chin, pronounced cheekbones, and reddish-brown eyes topped by thin eyebrows. His long black hair reaches to his lower back and is paired with well-kept mutton chops plus a connected mustache, apart from which he remains clean-shaven. Yhwach's standard attire consists of a white, double-breasted trench coat that has the Wandenreich symbol on the middle, with large buttoned cuffs and lapels, white trousers, and trench boots.[15] Over this he wears a tattered, ankle-length, maroon-black cloak that has a red ribbon near the neck and is fastened to the left with a single large button. Due to his past,[5] Yhwach is a morally warped and contradictory man whose words often have double meaning. While proclaiming himself a lover of peace who hates conflict, he actually has no issue waging war and striking down his own underlings just because he finds them no longer useful. His true, warmongering and self-serving nature is perhaps best shown in his statement to Ichibe'e Hyōsube that "everything in the world exists for [him] to take", showcasing extreme megalomania. According to Robert Accutrone, Yhwach despises lies yet he also hypocritically uses fake propaganda to manipulate his subordinates.

    Yhwach treats his subordinates and the Quincy very differently. He is very fond of some of them, calling them his sons. He puts great effort into forcibly recruiting them into his empire. Yhwach can show mercy and appreciation, thanking Royd Lloyd for sacrificing himself in a suicidal mission and granting him a quick death via obliteration after the latter lost most of his torso. Yhwach dislikes blind loyalty, and was glad that his Sternritter showed outspoken discontent with his choice of successor. However, Yhwach has no qualms laying waste to Quincy citizens and their settlements for his goals for conquest.

    In front of his subordinates, Yhwach is a man adamant in his disapproval of infighting, though he will not hesitate to stop the conflict using the most brutal methods possible.] Yhwach's contempt for Arrancar is apparent, mercilessly wounding and slaying even those who have sworn allegiance to him when he deems them to have fulfilled their use. Yhwach believes that he and his Sternritter are comrades and that they should be prepared to assist each other whenever necessary, even if it means certain members should be sacrificed for others; he demonstrated this belief by using Auswählen to steal the life force of the Sternritter who had been left behind in order to revive his fallen Schutzstaffel.

    After his awakening, Yhwach heartlessly robbed "impure" Quincy of their powers, causing many to die. this is proven when he ultimately uses his Auswählen to fatally steal power from Gerard Valkyrie, who was at one point his father's heart, and Jugram Haschwalth, his trusted second-in-command and other half, after absorbing the power of Ichigo Kurosaki.

    Jugram Haschwalth Age: 2000 Gender: male (1) Jugram Haschwalth is a power-sharing Quincy[8]and the Wandenreich's Sternritter Grandmaster ,[3] with the Schrift B: The Balance.[5][6] He has served as Yhwach's Imperial Adviser since joining him[3][9] and is his substitute while the emperor sleeps, taking on the epithet of Mask of Ruler and switching powers with Yhwach, including The Almighty. As they have the same ability, Yhwach considers Haschwalth his "other half". Haschwalth is a tall, handsome, young-looking man with a thin build, light-green eyes, and long blonde hair, which descends past to his waist, and long, faintly choppy bangs parted off-center to the right, always seen with a strand on the left side parted slightly between his eyes and partially obscuring his left eye, and blonde eyelashes.[14] His usual attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak, a calf-length trench coat (thigh length in the first attack on Soul Society[15]) commensurate of his rank with dark green fur running down from his left collar to the front of the coat, a green belt with a golden belt buckle,[16] along with white trousers and shoes.[15][17] When informing Yamamoto of the coming war, his cloak had been exchanged with a hooded-cape, which featured a black mask and a thin black sash diagonally encircling his body from the cape's left epaulette.[18]

    As a child, Haschwalth wore a light-colored dress shirt and carried a bow and arrow for hunting. His hair was also much shorter, only reaching his chin.[19]As a teenager, Haschwalth wore a sleeveless black shirt and light-colored pants, as well as white gloves. He carried a medium-sized double-edged sword in a black sheath at his hip.[20]After joining the Sternritter and becoming the captain, Haschwalth wore a dark-colored cape and a standard Wandenreich cap. While speaking in a much more casual manner to Yhwach than some, Haschwalth still retains a highly respectful tone.[14] As the imperial Adviser and Sternritter Grandmaster, Haschwalth wishes to aide in carrying out the collapsing of the Three Worlds in order to bring about a paradise for the Quincy to thrive in.[22] He is very loyal to Yhwach, preventing Bazz-B from recklessly entering Yhwach's chambers in outrage of his chosen successor and calmly stating it is Yhwach's decision to name the successor, not his own,[5]as well as believing that he (and everyone else) is prepared and willing to live and die for Yhwach's continued existence.[23] When he realized that Uryū Ishida was not willing to sacrifice anything to gain power from Yhwach, Haschwalth loses his composure and attempts to execute the young Quincy in indignation.[24]

    Haschwalth is quite confident in his abilities: when the Wandenreich invades Soul Society for a second time, Haschwalth confronts Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyōraku and declares they will instantly exterminate the enemy army.[3] Haschwalth is a man who firmly believes in balance, implying that a fight must be fair and that if one's life is saved by good luck, it will be terminated with an equal amount of misfortune. He acted on this and attacked a fellow Sternritter despite the disadvantages it posed in doing so on the battlefield.[25]

    He is perceptive to figure out Uryū's reason of joining the Wandenreich simply to avenge his mother's death, and seemed rather displeased when Uryū showed shock at being informed that he drank Yhwach's blood and attained a piece of the Father of the Quincy's soul.[26] While in possession of Yhwach's power at night, Haschwalth is much more emotional and blunt than usual.[27]

    Karin Kurosaki Age: 23 Gender: female (2) Karin Kurosaki is the fraternal younger twin sister of Yuzu, daughter of Isshin and Masaki Kurosaki, and youngest sister of Ichigo.

    Appearance Karin has dark grey eyes and black hair that is straight and cropped to hang around her face, just above her shoulders. Her eyes are large and dark. When not wearing her school uniform, Karin typically wears sportswear consisting of knee-length leggings or shorts with alternative shirts, trainers. She sometimes wears a red cap upon her head and often carries a soccer ball.

    Seventeen months later, Karin wears her hair in a short ponytail and her bust has begun developing. She typically wears her school uniform, a blue and white sailor fuku.[6] Ten years later, Karin wears her hair in a messy bun atop her head and has developed a large bust.[7]

    Compared to her soft-spoken twin sister, Yuzu, Karin is a more authoritative and out-spoken person. Karin's tough exterior results from her mother's death; because she could not be useful around the house like Yuzu, she resolved never to cry so that she would not burden her family with her personal troubles.[8] As a result, Karin is the more hardened and least emotional between the two, resulting in her not being affected by most events that would more or less bring tears to Yuzu's eyes. Despite these obvious differences, both girls remain close. She is concerned for her brother when Ichigo appears stressed or when he disappears for long periods of time. During these times, despite her own worries, Karin will reassure her sister, being there for her.[9]

    Karin is a sensible person but is not above kicking her father in the head when she thinks he's acting unreasonable. Despite this, Karin is still helpful around the clinic, as she and Yuzu help out their father as nurses when they can. [10] Despite being able to see them as clearly as Ichigo can, Karin initially claims that she believes spirits do not exist, which she says is the same as them not actually existing. In spite of her attitude about spirits, Karin is willing to use her's and Ichigo's ability to see them to earn a little cash.[11]

19. #19Yuzu Kurosaki

    Always on · Before character · Order 18

    Yuzu Kurosaki Age: 23 Gender: female (2) Yuzu Kurosaki is the fraternal older twin sister of Karin, daughter of Isshin and Masaki Kurosaki, and younger sister of Ichigo.

    Appearance Yuzu's appearance is a stark contrast to her sister's. Yuzu has short light blonde hair,[5] with short bangs hanging over the right side of her forehead. She also wears a red strawberry hair clip on the left side of her head. Her eyes are dark brown and appear much softer than Karin's. Yuzu dresses more girlishly when compared to her sister. She frequently wears a green hooded sweatshirt, and an apron when cooking. After 17 months, Yuzu's hair is shoulder length and she usually styles it in two pigtails tied with pink cherry bobbles behind her ears, with her hair clipped into the right pigtail. She now wears a sailor fuku for school.

    Ten years later, Yuzu's hair is more akin to her younger appearance, with no pigtails. She has a small bust.[6]

    Personality Compared to Karin, Yuzu is more soft-spoken. She is also the more empathetic of the two girls. She takes care of the housework, such as cooking meals and tidying up the living space, on a daily basis. She also regularly cuts Ichigo's hair.[7]

    Unlike her siblings, Yuzu is only able to see faint outlines of spirits as she is able to inform Ichigo that another ghost is present while they are about to sit down to dinner[8] Both girls help out in the family's clinic. Yuzu greatly admires her brother and looks up to him a lot. It was the image of Yuzu in the arms of a Hollow that initially shocked Ichigo into action despite the fear he'd been feeling at the time having never seen a Hollow before.[9] She tends to get very worried and upset whenever Ichigo disappears for any period longer than a day due to her mother complex. Unlike Karin, Yuzu has maintained a much more emotional side than her twin, not holding back when displaying upset tears of worry or cries of joy when the time arises, while Karin would remain almost aloof to most things outside of soccer or her father's annoyances.

    Yuzu has a very playful side to her as well, despite the increased responsibility she takes on when regarding the housework and looking after her family after the death of their mother. She has discovered Kon, although she hasn't discovered his true identity. She likes to play with him, calling him "Bostov", and this often involves her dressing him in feminine clothes and gluing on unwanted accessories, much to his chagrin. During these times, the childlike and girlish aspect of her personality can be seen in contrast to the responsible side that is usually present. She is also quite gullible due to her empathy, such as when she is moved by Rukia's false tears and allows her to stay at their house.[10] She is very close to her father, probably the closest out of his children, both of them often being chastised by Karin when they are nosy about Ichigo and his new friends.

20. #20Tatsuki Arisawa

    Always on · Before character · Order 19

    Tatsuki Arisawa Age: 27 Gender: female (2) Appearance Tatsuki is a teenager of average height with black hair and brown eyes.[6] She has a contrasting appearance to her best friend Orihime Inoue. Tatsuki is a tomboy, and has a very lean frame compared to Orihime's curvier figure. Her hair used to be short and dark, kept spiked out at the sides, in tune with her less than feminine appearance. She usually appears in her school uniform or her karate outfit while training in school or at the dōjō. Seventeen months later, Tatsuki's hair is much longer, reaching down past her shoulders.[7] Ten years later, Tatsuki wears her hair short again, reaching as far as her neck only.[8]

    Personality Tatsuki is a tomboy who is bold, outgoing, and extroverted. She is laid back and levelheaded most of the time, unless she is provoked by somebody. She aggressively uses her great strength to deal with anyone who troubles her or her friends. She easily hits anyone who annoys Orihime or gives her some sort of deep personal insult, seen when Kon, while inside Ichigo's body, gives her a compliment and apparently kisses her on the cheek. She stays angry for some time, even after wrecking much of the classroom and Kon flees the scene. She has a lot of insight on Ichigo's personality. When they were children, Tatsuki regularly saved Ichigo when he was getting beaten up, as well as cheering him up when he was upset. A tomboyish karate practitioner with dreams of becoming a vale tudo champion and already ranking Japan's second strongest in her age group, her only obvious feminine trait is how she writes her name using hiragana (たつき), though this is because she thinks it looks feminine while she considers the kanji of her name to be unappealing.

    Tatsuki is constantly protecting Orihime from men looking for a date, as well as the school lesbian Chizuru Honshō (who often approaches and tries to grab Orihime's chest). Tatsuki has done this since middle school, when she beat up some bullies who were trying to cut Orihime's hair, and had already done so once before Orihime's brother died. After that, Tatsuki promised to protect her from anyone who dared to make her cry, and she and Orihime became best friends.

    Ikumi Unagiya Age: 33 Gender: female (2) Ikumi is a tall, curvaceous, and fair-skinned woman with brown eyes. Her raven hair, which reaches to her upper back, has bangs which part to the left of her face and is styled in a ponytail with a purple scrunchy. She normally wears a white t-shirt with long purple sleeves, tight black pants with a buckle belt, and black rubber boots. As the owner of the Unagiya Shop, she has her shop's logo on her shirt with "Unagi" written on. She wears a brown cap with goggles and work gloves. When around her son, she removes her gloves, hat, and goggles, and replaces them with an apron.

    Personality Ikumi runs the Unagiya Shop, and because she is short-handed, she relies on Ichigo Kurosaki for help. Ikumi is violent and aggressive, as she is willing to use force, usually excessively, to get her way, beating up a group of thugs whom Ichigo was fighting just to bring Ichigo to work, doing so by kidnapping him shortly after.[3] She takes pride in her shop, refusing to change its name despite Ichigo's recommendation to do so and the mistakes some customers make.[4] Despite her aggressive personality, she is still very caring, maintaining a stereotypical sweet-mother demeanor around her son, even when he is rude to others.[5] With Ichigo, she has occasionally shown her motherly side in giving advice to him, and offering him shelter in his emotional state, considering herself an older sister to Ichigo.[6][7][8]

22. #22Momo Hinamori

    Always on · Before character · Order 21

    Momo Hinamori Age: 23 Gender: female (2) Momo Hinamori is the lieutenant of the 5th Division, formerly under Captain Sousuke Aizen and currently under Captain Shinji Hirako. Momo has brown eyes,[3] and wears standard Shinigami shihakushō, with her black hair pulled into a bun held in a tied cloth. When in her Shinigami robes, she wears the 5th Division's lieutenant armband.[4] While in her pajamas, a plain kimono, her hair is tied in a loose ponytail. When she attended the Shinigami Academy, she wore the red and white student's robes assigned to the girls, and her hair was in pigtails tied at the base of her neck.

    17 months after Aizen's defeat, Momo wears a new hairstyle; no longer tied up in the back, it hangs down in a bob, with a clip on the left side.[5]

    10 years after Yhwach's defeat, Hinamori wears her hair tied up in the back once more, but without a cloth and with chin-length bangs framing either side of her face, as well as medium-length bangs parted to the left of her forehead.[6]

    Personality Momo's main pastimes are reading and drawing. Due to her talent in drawing, she has overseen work for book illustration in the Shin'ō Academy.[7] Her love for books has developed since Aizen regularly gave her the books he had read. In his absence, she frequently visits the library.[7] She attends the ikebana lessons held by Captain Retsu Unohana. She frequently visits Tōshirō's grandmother in Rukongai.[7] Her favorite food is peaches, and she does not like plums.[7] She sometimes bakes cookies, and once made a batch in the shape of Aizen's glasses.[8]

    Momo is generally an upbeat, easy-going, and friendly girl. She has a strong friendship with Tōshirō Hitsugaya, whom she grew up with, repeatedly calling him "Shirō-chan" as in their past together (or occasionally as "Hitsugaya-kun"), despite his higher rank and complaints about this.[9] Though normally kind, her rare bouts of anger can appear rather menacing, such as her outrage at Captain Gin Ichimaru when she blamed him for killing Aizen.[10] While serving as his lieutenant, Momo greatly respects and admires Aizen.[7] She idolizes him to the point where a letter from Aizen leads her to attack Hitsugaya, her childhood friend,[11] and even after being stabbed by Aizen,[12] she, proclaiming Aizen was being manipulated, asks Hitsugaya to save him.[13] When Aizen leads an attack on the Fake Karakura Town, Momo helps to defend the town from Aizen and his forces, but she still notably refers to him as "Captain Aizen".[14]

    Furofushi Saito Age: 1000 Gender: female (2) Furōfushi Saitō was the first captain of the 6th Division over 1,000 years ago.[4] Appearance Saitō resembled a young, fair-skinned woman with large violet eyes, the left of which was covered by a black eyepatch fixed to her head by two straps encircling it in an X-formation. She had long, dark pink hair tied up in two hip-length pigtails on either side of her head, leaving a section of bangs to fall over the right side of her face, and wore a white strip of cloth around her temples in addition to the standard captain's haori over a shihakushō.[5]

    Personality According to Yhwach, Saitō was infamous for being a brutal and cold-blooded killer,[6] which she demonstrated by gleefully massacring the Quincy of the Lichtreich when they first invaded Soul Society.[7]

    Over one thousand years ago, Saitō was appointed as the first captain of the 6th Division.[4] During this time, she fought back against the Lichtreich when they invaded Soul Society by decapitating enemy soldiers, ultimately helping defeat the Quincy army[7] and later settling down during the ensuing peacetime as she found things worth protecting.[6]

24. #24Sui Feng

    Always on · Before character · Order 23

    Sui Feng Age: 30 Gender: female (2) Suì-Fēng born Shāolíng Fēng is the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukidō and the captain of the Second Division in the Gotei 13. Her lieutenant is Marechiyo Ōmaeda. Suì-Fēng is a relatively petite woman with gray eyes and black hair which she wears short with two long braids bound in white cloth, each ending in a large golden ring. She wears a traditional Shinigami captain's uniform with a sleeveless haori and a yellow obi tied around her waist. Underneath her standard Shinigami captain's uniform, Suì-Fēng wears the uniform of the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukidō, which has no sleeves and doesn't cover the back, though she does wear long black arm bands. Instead of wearing the standard Shinigami sandals with tabi, she wears traditional Chinese shoes with ordinary white socks. Suì-Fēng is staunchly loyal, firm, and unbending in her beliefs. She is a hard worker and takes a strong moral stance — she particularly believes in following orders. She is generally reserved and truly not arrogant in any manner like her lieutenant, though she is not above mocking/joking around with her opponents or smirking while in combat, a trait shared with her predecessor. She will not hesitate in the slightest to strike down even her subordinates if they stand in her way. She chooses to ignore all her subordinates, including her lieutenant Ōmaeda, believing that personal struggle builds character. Suì-Fēng likes fish but dislikes other meat.[1] She also seems to be quite obsessed with Yoruichi, and often spends her free time dreaming about the days when they fought together and practiced Shunpo.[1] At one point, she even tried to give Yoruichi a heart-shaped box of chocolates with little success. She seems to love anything that resembles a black cat, which is Yoruichi's alternate form, and she has a large collection of black cat shaped merchandise. At one point, Suì-Fēng is given a black cat plushie by Rangiku, who has just returned from a mission in the Real World.[8] It is also known that since Yoruichi's reappearance, she began to collect cat accessories and had the 2nd Division quarters installed with floor-heating (the expenses were covered by her lieutenant).[1] Suì-Fēng once seems to be affectionately admiring pictures of Yoruichi.[9] Later, as part of the photo collecting project of the Shinigami Women's Association she attempts to take nude photos of Yoruichi while she is distracted, but fails miserably.[10] When the Shinigami Women's Association is tasked with designing a new cellphone for Shinigami ladies, she submits a design featuring a black cat's head with a bee body (the cat representing Yoruichi and the bee representing herself), with a private line that would allow her to talk to Yoruichi as much as she wanted. The request was denied.[11] When Yamamoto commands the Gotei 13 captains to design a Shinigami video game, Suì-Fēng proposed a game with her and Yoruichi as the protagonists. Her lieutenant, Ōmaeda, tells her plainly that she is the only person who will play such a game.[12] This attitude towards Yoruichi also extends to her little brother, Yūshirō Shihōin, whom Suì-Fēng compliments and offers pocket money while visibly blushing upon meeting for the first time in several years.[13] Her stubborn attitude is so great that even now she still seems to hold a degree of dislike for Kisuke Urahara be it because Yoruichi used to tease her about him, or she found his lazy demeanor undisciplined or that she still blames him for her mentor's abandonment over one hundred years previously. Suì-Fēng is a person of incredible resolve, not hesitating to do whatever it takes to complete a mission and defeat her enemy; such as during her battle with the Segunda Espada, after being exposed to an attack she orders her lieutenant to remove her arm without hesitation. Very rarely will Suì-Fēng show signs of desperation or emotion on the battlefield, except when it concerns her former master.

25. #25Senjumaru Shutara

    Always on · Before character · Order 24

    Senjumaru Shutara Age: 28 Gender: female (2) Senjumaru Shutara is a member of the Royal Guard, holding the title "Great Weave Guard" She holds the position of Fourth Officer of the Zero Division, as well as "Divine General of the North". Appearance Senjumaru has the appearance of a slender and youthful woman with fair skin and long, black hair that is adorned at the back by a large golden ornament in the shape of a crescent moon with numerous small lines radiating outwards.

    Senjumaru wears the standard Shinigami shihakushō beneath a white long-sleeved haori, over which she dons a further white robe fastened at the front near the center of her chest. Her height makes her the shortest among other members of Zero Division, but she wears a pair of extremely thick-soled okobo. She has six long, golden skeletal artificial arms attached to her back that she uses in place of her physical hands.[5]

    Personality Senjumaru is generally polite, reserved and serene, being one of the more emotionally calm and collected members of the Royal Guard. She acts somewhat playful on occasion and even disrespectful at times, providing a fanfare with several musical instruments upon the Royal Guards' arrival in Soul Society and taunting her old colleague Mayuri Kurotsuchi after breaking into his lab unannounced. She is also focused on the mission they have been given, seeing it through while other Royal Guard members talk with each other and the Gotei 13.[6] She can be rather forceful as well, to the point of threatening, as she threatened to castrate Renji if he did not take off his fundoshi so she could fully measure his body for a new shihakushō.[7] Senjumaru claims to be not as sadistic as Mayuri, and planned to show this by giving Uryū Ishida a quick death and a promise not to desicrate his corpse. Regardless, Senjumaru seems to despise Quincy, mockingly calling them a race "forsaken by the Soul King" and expressing a desire to exterminate their bloodline.[8]

    Senjumaru's first-person pronoun of choice is the archaic warawa (妾).[9]

    Senjumaru has a dark sense of humor. On one occasion, when Nianzol Weizol was talking about a bad habit of his, Senjumaru also said forgetting to remove her sewing needles that killed him is a bad habit of her's she just couldn't break.[10] On another occasion, when Uryū broke free from her seal, she "offered" to help him go back to sleep by sewing his eyes shut.[8]

    Lisa Yadomaru Age: 30 Gender: female (2) Lisa Yadōmaru is a Visored and the current captain of the 8th Division. Her Lieutenant is Yuyu Yayahara. She is the former lieutenant of the 8th Division under Captain Shunsui Kyōraku. Lisa's appearance is of a young adult woman with turquoise eyes, red oval glasses and long black hair. Her hair has bangs in the front and she keeps the back in a braided ponytail. She dresses in a long sleeved sailor fuku, with a teal green/blue collar and matching pleated miniskirt that ends at her stomach, completed with a pink neckerchief. (In contrast to the Western-style uniforms worn by the students of Karakura High School). During her time in Soul Society she wore a variation of the standard Shinigami shihakushō. Lisa's hairstyle is changed, now tied back into a high, shoulder-length ponytail with chin-length bangs on either side of her face.[3] Ten years after the defeat of Yhwach, she returns her hair to a braided ponytail. She also wears a standard captain's haori, with her Shinigami robes altered to show her midriff and exposes her cleavage. In comparison to her comrades, Lisa is one of the calmer, more sensible members of the Visored, showing a quite stern, detached and secretive demeanor at most points, although she is somewhat temperamental and easily irritable. Her hobbies include reading erotic manga (specifically, josei genre) or swimsuit magazines, which she often lends to her fellow Visored, including Love and Ichigo (who denies it). She is also very curious, and had a habit of spying on the captain's meetings during her time in Soul Society. Despite her rather distant personality, she appears to care about her fellow Visored, as shown when she warned Kensei about an attack from a Hollowfied Ichigo. She has shown to have a playful side similar to her former captain, Shunsui Kyōraku, as the two were close and shared in mutual advances toward each other.

    Always on · Before character · Order 26

    Yuyu Yayahara Age: 19 Gender: female (2) Yuyu Yayahara is the lieutenant of the 8th Division of the Gotei 13 under Captain Lisa Yadōmaru. Appearance Yuyu is a young woman with dark brown skin, achieved through tanning, and long blond hair that transitions to a darker color at the tips and is arranged in a large ponytail tied up by a beaded band with two long bangs framing her face, as well as light-colored eyes and a small nose. She wears a heavily modified version of the standard shihakushō that is separated into top and bottom garments to leave her waist and stomach bare; her top is tied together around her breasts and has shoulder-length sleeves, leaving the wrist-length white sleeves of the undergarment fully visible, while the bottom portion resembles a short skirt with a white sash tied in a bow around the front, with stockings covering the entirety of her legs and legwarmers on her calves.[1]

    Personality Yuyu is obsessed with gyaru culture from the Human World, to the point of artificially altering the color of her hair and skin in line with the culture's practices, and is even active on their social media. Additionally, Yuyu greatly admires Ichigo Kurosaki as the hero from the Quincy Blood War; upon meeting him for the first time, she immediately took a selfie with Ichigo despite his protests and tried to add him as a contact on social media, having learned about his account from her captain, though she also claimed that she was mature enough to not mind if he ignored her.[2] In combat, Yuyu is carefree and cheerful even while inflicting gruesome injuries on her enemies, treating encounters with Hollows like a game.[3]

28. #28Loly Aivirrne

    Always on · Before character · Order 27

    Loly Aivirrne Age: 22 Gender: female (2) Loly Aivirrne is the 33rd Arrancar[1] in Sousuke Aizen's army. She and Menoly Mallia served as Aizen's aides. Appearance Loly is a young, teenage-looking female Arrancar. She has long, black hair with two pigtails which reach down her back, a slender build, and her visible right eye is pink. The remnants of her mask cover her left eye, which is shaped around her eye with teeth dotted along the bottom of the mask, and there is an extension from her mask into her hair which resembles a hair tie.

    Loly's uniform includes a short, frilled skirt, white half-sleeves worn from the elbows down to the wrists, and what appears to be thigh-length black-colored, white-outlined boots. She wears white bracelets on her arms, and she also wears a white-colored, black-outlined material that ties around her neck, which reveals a fair portion of her stomach as well as her chest.[3]

    Personality

    Loly is infatuated with and protective of Sousuke Aizen, her leader, to the point at which she is willing to briefly speak out against an order before remembering her place. Aizen's interest in Orihime Inoue confuses her and she becomes envious of the special treatment that has been reserved for her.[4] She is vindictive and cruel to those she holds a grudge against, such as when she enters Orihime's room, with Menoly Mallia, while she is alone and in distress after Ulquiorra Cifer defeats Ichigo Kurosaki.[5] She physically and verbally assaults Orihime, even after Orihime uses Sōten Kisshun to heal the leg she lost to Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, highlighting her ungratefulness. Loly is quickly angered and is brutal in her wrath. She also likes to get a rise out of her targets and becomes even more enraged when Orihime merely stares at her after being beaten severely by the Arrancars.[6]

    Loly is very impulsive in nature as she has yelled at or challenged even Espada-level Arrancar in her rage which usually results in her being beaten badly by her more powerful adversaries.[7] She is also quick to judge and fear things she does not understand, such as her hatred for Orihime intensifying when she sees how powerful the Human girl is and she begins to refer to her as a "monster" due to fearing her power after witnessing her heal Menoly.[8] Menoly is Loly's closest friend, but she is not above pressuring her into attacking others or physically attacking Menoly when she disagrees with her plans.[9]

    Later, upon being attacked by Yammy and interrupting her own attack on Orihime, Loly displayed her more honorable side. As shown, while still enraged at Orihime, Loly still went out of her way to protect her from Yammy, indicating that while terrified at Orihime’s powers and finding her kindness incomprehensible, Loly still felt some level of gratefulness for her healing her and saving her life and felt obligated to protect her.[10]

    Menoly Mallia Age: 22 Gender: female (2) Menoly Mallia is the 34th Arrancar[1] in Sousuke Aizen's army. She and Loly Aivirrne served as Aizen's aides. Appearance Menoly is a teenage-looking female Arrancar with tomboyish features. She has short, slicked blonde hair with a slight fringe over her right eye. In addition, Menoly has green eyes. Her Hollow mask is positioned around her right eye, completely obscuring it from view, with teeth dotted around the bottom. The location of her Hollow hole is unknown.[3]

    Her attire consists of a white dress with short sleeves, which are slit and run slightly past her elbows, and an upturned collar. Menoly's dress is also unzipped at the front revealing her cleavage. Her dress also exposes her waist and part of her thighs on both sides of her body. A black sash is worn loosely around her hips. As with most Arrancar, she wears black tabi socks and low-heel sandals. Menoly completes her outfit with a white, segmented choker and a series of white bracelets on her arms.[3]

    Personality

    Menoly is always with Loly Aivirrne and out of the two, she is much more passive and rational. She will often be the target of Loly's peer pressure when she doesn't want to follow one of Loly's plans. In these instances, Loly will berate her verbally[4] or go so far as to physically hit Menoly when she objects.[5] While still helping Loly torment others,[6] she is still bothered by her conscience, especially when she feels Loly takes it too far.[4][7]

    Like Loly Aivirrne, Menoly is very loyal to Sousuke Aizen but will also speak out against an order if she feels that it jeopardizes his safety as she is reluctant to leave him alone with Orihime Inoue as she considers her powers to be a mystery and, thus, dangerous. However, she is swift to back off from argument if Aizen shows even the slightest bit of annoyance.[3] Menoly greatly fears those who are much more powerful than she is, especially those who are Espada in rank including Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez[8], Ulquiorra Cifer[9] and Yammy Llargo.[10] While much more passive than Loly, she can still lose her temper when the situation calls for it. When Grimmjow hurts Loly, Menoly flies into a rage and moves to attack him with a Cero despite fearing his power and knowing that she cannot defeat him.[8] Menoly also fears Orihime's powers greatly, wanting to stay away from her after the Human girl revived her when she was killed by Grimmjow.[5]

    However, as demonstrated by Loly's later attempt to attack Orihime, Menoly also possesses a more honorable side to her personality, having been visibly uncomfortable with Loly's plan to "bring her down" after she narrowly saved them from Grimmjow and later refused to attack Orihime. Menoly herself actively attempted to dissuade Loly before and after she put her plan to action, likely due to her being grateful to Orihime for reviving her.[5]

30. #30Giselle Gewelle

    Always on · Before character · Order 29

    Giselle Gewelle Age: 26 Gender: non-binary (9) Giselle Gewelle is a Quincy and a former member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation Z: The Zombie.[2]

    Appearance Giselle has blue eyes and long, black hair extending down to her lower back, with two strands sticking up like antennae.[3] Her attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of a trench coat with long sleeves, white shoes, and black leggings.[4] She wears a small white cap, which features a black peak and the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on its front, on the side of her head.[5] She also wears a blue[6] heart buckle on her waist.

    Personality Giselle has a cheerful and nonchalant attitude. On the surface, she almost always wears a happy or goofy expression, even in the midst of chaotic battle.[7][8][9][10] She is not above provoking others, which is shown with her interactions with Candice Catnipp when she teases her by claiming she has "fun" with her subordinates[5] and mocking her power and temperament,[11][12][13] though she is willing to help Candice when requested.[14]

    Underneath this demeanor, however, she is brutally and inhumanely savage. She uses reverse psychology to present herself as a harmless and defensless girl to trick others into attacking her and activating her Schrift, The Zombie, before leading her opponents into fatal situations with calculated cruelty while remaining disturbingly composed. A prime example is when she forces a group of Shinigami to commit seppuku while they retained awareness of their actions and begged her to stop[15] before turning them into zombies to use against Mayuri Kurotsuchi.[16] She attempts to do this against Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa as well, though they easily see through her act.[17] This cruelty even extends to her own comrades; she was perfectly willing to kill a weakened and injured Bambietta Basterbine to turn her into a zombie despite Bambietta's desperate pleas to be spared.[18][19] She later went on to zombify the rest of the Bambies, with Liltotto Lamperd being the only exception.[20]

    Giselle is also a necrophiliac, which is made evident when she hugs Bambietta's dead body after summoning it. Though she claims not to be a sadist,[21] she becomes overjoyed when Candice asks her to regenerate her arm, only to be disappointed when she realizes she's meant to do so without zombifying her.[22] Likewise, she openly expresses how seeing Bambietta's face when she killed her "[made her] so wet,"[23] and she later proceeds to suck her blood and fawn over how cute she was, even in death.[24] She is also very abusive towards her zombies when they get on her nerves. When Bambietta begged for more blood, Giselle smacked her and called her a "disgusting mess" before grabbing her by the hair and assuring her that she could have her treat once they dealt with Mayuri.[25] Similarly, when Bambietta asked Giselle not to take too much of her blood out of concern for her own life, Giselle smashed her face into the ground while reminding her that she was already dead and that her blood belonged to her.[26]

    Though Giselle displays clear insanity and harshness towards her treatment of her friends, she still cares about them, albeit in her own twisted way. She restored Candice's arm after it was destroyed by Ichigo Kurosaki's Getsuga Jūjishō,[27] as well as Bambietta's during her clash with the Arrancars.[28] After Bambietta's defeat by Sajin Komamura, she tells her that she and the Bambies would be sad to see her go and that they will "take care of her,"[18] which, as previously mentioned, happens to involve zombifying Bambietta against her wishes.[19] When she calls upon the zombified Bambietta to come help her, she hugs her[29] and shows appreciation when she tells her that she will protect her.[30] Additionally, when Giselle believes she has beaten Bambietta to death, she tells her that she is very cute when she's dead and that she loves her very much.[31]

    Personality Nikita was a stoic individual who showed no emotion when executing her targets, even if they were non-combatants.[2] Amongst the original Schutzstaffel, Nikita reacted the quickest when the negotiations between Yhwach and Ichibe'e Hyōsube went badly, immediately opening fire on the Royal Guard leader without hesitation.[3]

    Yin and Yang Age: 28 Gender: female (2) Yin and Yang are two loyal female Arrancar who served Sōjirō Kusaka during their theft of the Ōin and subsequent assault on Soul Society. Almost identical in appearance, the main difference is their hairstyles. Yang has short red hair, while Yin has long blue hair braided into two large bangs parted from each side of her face. Both girls have the same aqua color eyes and eyeshadow around their eyes. The remnants of their Hollow Masks resemble a headband which goes vertically down the middle of their heads before reaching their eyebrows. The mask remnants also act as a sheath for their weapons, sitting behind their head horizontally. Both have their Hollow Hole located on their chest but is hidden by their uniforms.[1]

    They both wear the same outfit, which is reminiscent of the white Arrancar uniform. A sleeveless white jacket, elbow-length gloves, white bracelets on each wrist, sock-like stockings, black high heeled Arrancar-themed boots, and short schoolgirl-themed skirts. Of this, the skirt, stockings and gloves are colored red for Yang, and blue for Yin.[1]
