History Characters / BleachXCution

* BlackEyes: Type 1 in the Manga. The anime ignores this and gives him non-descript BrownEyes.

* BlessedWithSuck: The unpredictability of Jackpot Knuckle means that he can't fight with any level of consistency, which makes him incredibly threatening nonetheless, but he ''could'' go right back to being an IneffectualSympatheticVillain if his luck runs out.
** LogicalWeakness: The more he uses "Jackpot Knuckle" against one opponent, the less likely he is to get a "jackpot" due to probabilities changing over time.
* TheBrute: While he [[NotSoHarmlessVillain doesn't look the type,]] his Fullbring's abilities allow him to fight this way.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: ''A lot'' more dangerous than his early appearances would have suggested.
** [[spoiler:He's pretty much the only Fullbringer other than the BigBadDuumvirate ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Riruka]]) who's managed to give his opponent a helluva good fight - and ''without '' a powerup.]]
** Taken to a few extremes in the anime, where he [[spoiler:beat Ikkaku ''bloody''. The latter still won with a smile, despite ''[[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank vomiting a gallon of blood]]''.]]
* {{Delinquent}}: He goes to a school full of stereotypical Japanese ''banchos''. While he doesn't exactly sport a perm, he more or less plays the part with the way he dresses and speaks.
* TheDragon: Seemed to be this for Tsukishima, though he's apparently the only lackey under his wing. [[spoiler:Dialogue between Ginjou and Tsukishima implies he's a member of Xcution, but not very well liked at all.]]
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Resorts to it after [[spoiler: he breaks Hozukimaru in his fight with Madarame.]]

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Eventually turns out to be a NotSoHarmlessVillain once he's in a ''real'' fight, to the point where [[spoiler: Ginjo]] wants him dead for it.

* LuckManipulationMechanic: Moe's Fullbring to a T. ''And it is deadly as all hell''.
* MadeOfIron: Other than his Fullbring, he's a baseline human, yet [[spoiler: he and Ikkaku finish their fight with GoodOldFisticuffs, trading several blows before he's finally knocked out with a headbutt.]]

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Has a slot machine-based Fullbring that, while unpredictable, is potentially very deadly. Ginjo even seems to consider him a greater threat than his fellow Fullbringers. [[spoiler: and it's noticable that, excluding Riruka, the only Fullbringers who give their Soul Reaper opponents a run for their money are the Fullbringers who don't receive Ginjou's power-up from Ichigo: Tsukishima and Moe.]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: He dislocates Ikkaku's shoulder and assumes he's got the fight won, but then Ikkaku nonchalantly sets it back into place ''with just his muscles'', causing this reaction.]]
** [[spoiler: And gets another one when at the end of their fight. He thinks he landed the deciding blow on Ikkaku only for Ikkaku to come back [[UseYourHead with a massive headbutt]] that ultimately knocks him out.]]
* TooPowerfulToLive: [[spoiler:Ginjo]] views this of him. [[spoiler: Ironically, Ginjo dies and Shishigawara lives on.]]
* TheUnfavourite: [[spoiler:Despite having a rather powerful Fullbring, he didn't recieve an upgrade from Ginjo, and the latter even flat-out orders Tsukishima [[BadBoss to kill him after fighting the Soul Reaper because his getting any stronger would threaten their group.]]]]

* AbsoluteCleavage: Shows as much as Matsumoto does, with a cleavage that's almost as large (in some shots).

* AdaptationExpansion: Enough that her backstory was the ''first'' to get revealed in the anime.

* [[spoiler:AntiVillain: How often will you see an antagonist TakingTheBullet for someone that struck them down in a CurbStompBattle?]]
* BerserkButton: She really seems to have an inferiority complex as when she trains Ichigo, she treats him like a novice only for him to show his skill and reveal that he had more then enough experience when it comes to fighting. She practically goes ballistic on him (not that it does any good). [[spoiler: When she faces off against Renji after receiving some of Ichigo's Fullbring power, she comments again that she is the better fighter. But Renji, after taking the full brunt of her power the first time, just treats her little more then an annoyance and tells her to hit him with all she's got. She gets pissed once more as a result.]]
* [[spoiler: BrokenBird: Strongly implied in flashbacks, in which we see a teenage Jackie screaming and crying under the rain. Confirmed in a TearJerker manner in chapter 471 of the manga.]]

* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide[=/=]HeroicSacrifice]]: [[spoiler: Tries to off herself to save Renji from being killed by Yukio.]] [[spoiler: she seemingly pulls it off but in chapter 478, it turns out she's [[NotQuiteDead still alive]]]].
* FlatCharacter: Averted; for the longest time, she's received the least characterization from the Fullbringers, until (in classic ''Bleach'' fashion) she fights someone, first with Ichigo through training, then with [[spoiler: Renji]]. We even get a glimpse of her past in chapter 466 [[spoiler: before her DisneyDeath scene]], and [[spoiler: her past is fully revealed in chapter 471.]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: Out of all of Xcution, she's the one who has the best and more legitimate FreudianExcuse - she was from a very poor family, and her parents and siblings were slaughtered for her father's involvement in the black market.]]

** [[spoiler: Also in her enhanced dirty boots form when she covers herself in sludge the only part of her that's not covered is her genital area.]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:She hated her Fullbring, but she admits (to Yukio) that she feels even worse without it]].
* KickChick: Her specialty, but it doesn't work against Ichigo [[spoiler: or Renji.]]
* MauveShirt: The anime plays her role up with a lot more prominence than her manga incarnation. [[spoiler:It'll most likely make her death that much more striking for anime viewers and make them rejoice when after it turns out she's alive]].
* OutOfFocus: We last saw her fighting Ichigo. About 12 chapters later, she's been regulated to cameos, but she gets two chapters' worth of screentime and backstory implications to make up for it. The anime averts it through AdaptationExpansion, however.

* [[spoiler: SoleSurvivor: Of her slain family.]]
* [[spoiler: StreetUrchin: In her past.]]
* [[spoiler:TheWorfEffect: Even with her power-up, Jackie was quickly defeated by Renji in little more than a single chapter. Still held her own fairly well, even when the only reason it lasted for that long was because Renji refused to fight her.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: A more subdued case, but she calls Ichigo out on his hero complex, something that fans (and his own friends) have taken issue with for years.

* [[spoiler: BadPowersBadPeople: See TheSociopath below. He first tested his power by testing their ability to kill, as soon as he stopped thinking about killing his power [[EyeScream turned on him]].]]

* [[spoiler: ClippedWingAngel: He seems to have traded his time manipulation for raw strength, but it only served to give Kenpachi a better shot at killing him.]]
* CompositeCharacter: He looks a ''lot'' like [[FullMetalAlchemist King Bradley]], but goes through the same hammy DrunkWithPower stage as Zommari did.

* EyepatchOfPower: Which he got [[spoiler: when he used his powers to kill his wife and had a brief MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment -- which caused [[EyeScream his eye to explode.]]]]
* [[spoiler:KilledMidSentence: He [[EvilGloating wastes so much time bragging about his new powers]] that Kenpachi gets fed up and kills him with a single slash.]]
* LargeHam: When NotSoStoic.
* [[spoiler:HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Kenpachi doesn't mess around for a change.]]

* [[spoiler: SmallNameBigEgo: Thinks he's strong enough to take Kenpachi down, but he gets killed before he finishes his sentence.]]
** [[spoiler:EvilGloating: Claimed that his OneWingedAngel was his strongest form.]]
* [[spoiler: TheSociopath: Out of the not-Ginjo-and-Tsukishima Fullbringers, he's the one with less regards for human life and less of a FreudianExcuse. Jackie had a truly tragic past due to poverty and her family's murder, Yukio was all but locked away by his parents and thus had no moral/psychological guidance, and Riruka doesn't have compunctions about her abilities yet hasn't ''totally '' lost her conscience; on the other hand, Giriko killed his own wife merely to test his own abilities.]]
* TheStoic: For the most part, [[spoiler: until he gets DrunkWithPower.]]
** NotSoStoic: In chapter 462, since [[spoiler: the moment he's "given" Ichigo's power, he instantly becomes a LargeHam.]]
* [[spoiler:ThisCannotBe: After he was defeated by Kenpachi.]]

* AbnormalAmmo: [[spoiler:Her gun stores miniaturized objects, which re-enlarge upon being fired, to hopefully catch an opponent off guard and crush them.]]

* ApologeticAttacker: Genuinely so, to [[spoiler: Rukia]], in chapter 471, since she actually ended up ''possessing her''.
* BerserkButton: HATES being called "a normal human".
* BlindWithoutEm: The problem is that despite this, she refuses to wear contacts (they're not comfortable) ''or'' glasses (they're not sexy).

* [[spoiler: ButNowIMustGo: In chapter 479, she's seen standing atop of a building and using her powers to leave the scene.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:Her TakingTheBullet for Ichigo ''and '' Rukia was the single most selfless act she's ever accomplished. Guess that happens when you hide inside someones' head and listen to their thoughts regarding their best friend.]]
* CombatPragmatist: Since her power isn't very useful in direct combat, she carries a gun.
** Going further, [[spoiler:once Rukia tried to freeze her as a plushie, Riruka's ''first reaction '' is to [[GrandTheftMe insert herself into Rukia's body]].]]

* [[spoiler:CurbStompBattle: She the only Fullbringer to actually defeat a Soul Reaper. Granted Rukia was holding back but still.]]
* [[spoiler: CryCute: In Chapter 478, after waking up and speaking to Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime. [[{{Tsundere}} She denies that she's crying, though]].]]

* DarkChick: Riruka's fiery demeanor and ''hilarious'' love for Ichigo puts her as arguably the most memorable Fullbringer in Xcution.

* FreudianExcuse: Subverted; it seemed like she's about to receive one, but it essentially amounts to her having ''always'' been a SpoiledBrat. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Though not exactly an evil one, mind you.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Her grim expression upon learning of Orihime's past says a lot about how Riruka herself might feel about her family [[spoiler: or more exactly, her powers as well as the groups' intentions]].
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: She can take anything--or anyone--she finds cute and put it/them inside her "box". Compound this with the fact that she's fallen for Ichigo, and you got a scenario that the internet picked up on immediately. Now it's revealed that you leave her box only once she gets you wet (via sneezing on you).

* [[spoiler: HeelRealization: Inverted; she's always seemed to have a particular dislike for Xcution, but that wasn't why she took that slash for Ichigo and Rukia. It was because she realized that Ginjo couldn't have been saved by any of the Fullbringers in Xcution, and recognizing that Ichigo had already done so in their fight. ]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:In her backstory, she was a typical SpoiledBrat who used her abilities for theft (like taking the local AlphaBitch's cute locket), but since she still was a little girl, she had no idea just how badly her powers affected the guy (whom she had a crush on) that she placed inside her treasure box. Once she noticed that, she released him. Greedy, possessive brat, she is, but selfish, cruel brat, she isn't.]]
* [[spoiler:HighHeelFaceTurn: There were doubts along the way, but she's finally done it, or at least, something similar.]]
** As of now, it's actually a [[spoiler: subversion of the usual variation, where it's love for TheHero that does it. She seems to have bonded more with ''Orihime'' than Ichigo, if their interactions after both of them wake up in Chapter 478 is an evidence.]]

* ImTakingHimHomeWithMe: Actually ''weaponized''. At will, she did this in her youth [[spoiler:but stopped when she realized how it affected her crush.]]

* NiceHat: She gets [[hottip:bunny ears: The tails on the back of her hat]] later on. Hilariously, this is just before [[spoiler: she fights bunny-obsessed Rukia]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler: After Rukia presses her BerserkButton, Riruka stuffs her into a plush bunny.]]
** Later on in the fight, Riruka [[spoiler: [[GrandTheftMe inserts herself into Rukia.]]]]
* PowerNullifier: The consequence of [[ItMakesSenseInContext getting trapped inside a plushie.]] [[spoiler:Rukia is unable to grasp her Zanpakuto, depriving her of her best weapon, and attempting to use kido results in the magic backfiring on its caster.]]

* [[spoiler:TakingTheBullet: She used her body to protect Ichigo (and Rukia, consequently) from Tsukishima's blade. Her chest armor catches the blade, but it still left a very deep wound. Urahara treated her injuries.]]

* [[spoiler:TokenGoodTeammate: For all her faults, she was the only one that tried to reject an upgrade from Ginjo; she seemed to gain an understanding of Ichigo and Rukia as people; she took a slash from Tsukishima while protecting the aforementioned duo; ''and '' she scolded Tsukishima for trying to save someone "that was already saved by Ichigo". ''Damn.'']]
* {{Tsundere}}: Acts slightly like a DrillSergeantNasty towards Ichigo, but clearly worries about him when he's not looking.
** Also displayed the classic portrayal of one in her MoodWhiplash-full interactions with Orihime.

** HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Including Ichigo in a dollhouse for a TrainingFromHell and a [[AssholeVictim Yakuza]] inside a stuffed pig.

* AllThereInTheManual: For a while he seemed to be a case of OnlyOneName, until Kubo revealed his surname...in his character profile in the back of Volume 53.
* [[spoiler: AGodAmI: Declared himself as such to his own dimension, which isn't entirely unsound, but Hitsugaya still proved how low on the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil that Yukio really is. ]]
* [[spoiler: AxCrazy: It's more subtle, since he usually has DissonantSerenity to back it up. ]]

* BerserkButton: Do not EVER tell him that [[spoiler: he was abandoned]]. It was enough for him to [[spoiler:enter a ''VillainousBreakdown.'']]

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:Following his humiliating defeat at Hitsugaya, Yukio's apparently started opening up more. See PetTheDog for details.]]

* [[spoiler: CuteMute]]: PlayedForDrama, since [[spoiler: his lack of speech as a toddler is the reason why his parents rejected him. Later he ''is '' capable of speaking, but he never does so in front of them.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilCounterpart: To Hitsugaya, to a certain extent.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilGenius]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: His sadism might've been biological, but he would've been ''far '' less homicidal if [[ParentalNeglect his parents gave enough of a damn to raise him properly.]]]] Fully explained in chapter 471: [[spoiler: he was a former CuteMute whose parents kept locked away due to his speech impediment, and was so lonely that he first used his powers to recreate images of his parents ''as a sort-of {{Imaginary Friend}}s''.]]
* HiddenDepths: Claims to have enjoyed how he [[spoiler:drove his father to suicide]], but when [[spoiler: Hitsugaya insinuated that Yukio's parents abandoned him]], Yukio was ''pissed''. He clearly takes issue with [[spoiler: abandonment]], but he went out of his way to defend his parents (whom he hated) over it, saying that ''he'' abandoned ''them''. It's as if he's subconsciously repressing his true feelings about his parents, since he doesn't know how to deal with it.
* [[spoiler: HoistByHisOwnPetard: Sure, it's Toshiro who freezes his legs, but at the end, he's defeated by the monsters he created with Invaders Must Die. Hitsugaya spares him and takes out the creatures, but only because he figured that the dimension would remain even after Yukio dies. He froze Yukio up to his hands and head, forcing him to dispel the dimensions within 5 minutes.]]

* KickTheDog: In chapter 466, after [[spoiler: Jackie's]] defeat at the hands of [[spoiler: Renji]], Yukio tries to [[spoiler: ''bring the sky down to kill both,'' and when she sacrifices her life to save Renji's, he seems amused by her death, though he admits that he was impressed by Jackie's resolve. ]]

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: In Chapter 478 he says that in three years his company will increase in size and promises to hire Jackie and the surviving Fullbringers. [[{{Tsundere}} Then he claims it's just because he thinks they can't survive without him]].]] This was omitted in the anime, however.

* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan: As he fights Hitsugaya in chapter 466, Yukio claims that he abandoned his parents, stole his father's wealth and bankrupted his parents' company, indirectly driving his father to commit suicide as a result]]. Given that parents aren't ''entirely '' noble in this series ([[ParentsAsPeople Ryuuken and Isshin]] included), one could say that his parents had it coming for [[ParentalNeglect prioritizing their work over their son]].
* [[spoiler:SimulationGame: His Fullbring, after being enhanced by Ichigo's, can create one outside of his videogame console, complete with copies of the other Xcution members.]]

* SmugSnake: Actually has a powerful ability, [[spoiler: but he was little more than a fly compared to a Soul Reaper Captain.]]
* [[spoiler:TheSociopath: Bemused at Jackie TakingTheBullet for Renji, relished that he drove his father to suicide, and completely fine with the prospect of Riruka dying.]]
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: His reaction to [[spoiler: Jackie being NotQuiteDead]]
--> ''"[[spoiler: Jackie? Oh good, you survived]]"''
* [[spoiler: VillainousBreakdown]]: After [[spoiler:Hitsugaya told him that he was abandoned]], Yukio ''completely loses his shit.''
* [[spoiler: {{Yangire}}: He looks like a snarky and cute boy, but as chapter 466 makes clear, he's actually a sadistic, murderous ''prick.'']]
** Potentially [[{{SubvertedTrope}} subverted]], since he was seen crying in a flashback, indicating that he was actually sad [[spoiler: when he heard about his father's suicide.]] Taken even further in chapter 478, see [[spoiler: PetTheDog.]]

* FirstNameBasis: As part [[FauxAffablyEvil of his friendly facade]], he's pretty much the ''sole'' villain with an habit of calling everyone by their first name: Ichigo, Yukio, [[spoiler: Byakuya]]. Oddly enough, Ginjo is the sole exception. [[spoiler:That's maybe because [[spoiler: [[FridgeBrilliance he's probably the person who knows him the best, so his false friendliness would be pointless.]] ]]

* HowDareYouDieOnMe: "[[spoiler: Don't Die!!! Don't Die, Ginjo!!!]]"
** Followed up in the following chapter by: "[[spoiler: Why did you have to die? Why, Ginjo? WHY?! (...) Why didn't you teach me what to do if you died?!]]"
* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: At the end of chapter 472, Byakuya impales him with a hidden fistful of Senbonzakura's petal-blades.]]

* IWasNeverHere: Inverted. [[spoiler: He can use his powers to actually insert himself in places where he hasn't been.]]

* LightningBruiser: Hard Hitting type. He can get behind you and stab you before you even notice ''that he's moved''.

* MartyStu: [[InvokedTrope Actually invoked by his Fullbring]], though it's portrayed much more seriously. Once he "bookmarks" someone, the victims act unusually protective and friendly of him [[spoiler:(e.g. Ikumi only smiles sweetly towards her son; Karin doesn't panic that easily; Tatsuki never calls others by nicknames), to the point where ''Chad and Orihime,'' two of Ichigo's most loyal friends, actually turned ''against '' Ichigo. He also makes it so that he was present for the important things in everybody's lives. He Marty Stu'd himself into Aizen's defeat, everything Ichigo has done, and even replaced important people in Orihime and Chad's lives: her brother Sora and his "Abuelo", respectively.]]
* MindRape: When he realises [[spoiler: Sado and Orihime are beginning to fight his mind control]], Tsukishima takes advantage of this to inflict a brutal MindRape [[spoiler: instead of simply attempting to bring them back under control]]. According to Ginjo it's actually a bad habit of his where he ''deliberately '' takes his mind control powers too far simply to permanently break his victims minds, and he does seem to be enjoying the torture they're undergoing. [[spoiler: Fortunately, Urahara and Isshin intervene just in time to save the pair.]] It fails horribly against [[spoiler: Byakuya.]]
* MoreThanMindControl: He inflicts mind control on Ichigo's friends and family and MindRape [[spoiler: on Sado and Orihime]] but he does neither to Ichigo. Instead, he uses what he's done to everyone else to play with Ichigo's head and even his sense of reality in a manner befitting this trope.
* [[spoiler: NeverFoundTheBody: His fate is left ambiguous in the anime; they omitted the part where Orihime forgets him]].
* [[spoiler: NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: Byakuya blows a fist-sized hole completely through him. Despite this, he's still able to pull one last sneak attack on Ichigo]].

* [[spoiler:PrideBeforeAFall: He was correct in saying that Byakuya couldn't win regardless of which ''known '' technique he would think of using, but he didn't expect Byakuya to improvise instead.]]
* [[spoiler: ProphetEyes: When his mind-control power kicks into high gear, his eyes take on an eerie, evil all-white cast. They just glow purple in the anime.]]
* [[spoiler:RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Ginjo. He may be the more cautious of the two (suggesting to Bookmark Ishida; calling Ginjo out on using a LastNameBasis with Ichigo), but he's far more malicious, while Ginjo is a practitioner of PragmaticVillainy.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: His power can make people believe he has always been a part of their life and this allows him to manipulate them.
* [[spoiler:{{Retconjuration}}: He can make it so that he interacted in ''any way he pleases '' with whatever he cuts with his sword. In his fight with Byakuya, he uses his power to enter the past of the place they were fighting in and set up a series of traps. He also cuts Byakuya's sword, which results in him knowing ''every single one '' of Byakuya's techniques because he helped Byakuya create those techniques. In the end, Byakuya has to throw away everything he's ever known and learned and invent an IndyPloy.]]

* TheSociopath: Fits several of the traits described.
* SurrealHorror: [[spoiler: Does one of the mental and emotional variety to Ichigo by affecting everyone around him with "Book of the End".]]

** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: Briefly, upon temporarily losing his arm.]] It happens again [[spoiler: when Ichigo gets his Soul Reaper powers back]], again when [[spoiler: Kisuke and Isshin knock Orihime and Chad unconscious, saving them from his MindRape]], when [[spoiler: Senbonzakura's petals block his attack on Byakuya]], ''and'' when [[spoiler:Riruka blocks his attack on Ichigo.]] which is ''immediately'' followed by a SkywardScream.
* UndyingLoyalty: Deliberately inflicts this upon anyone that gets slashed by his Fullbring, making them rather friendly and protective of him regardless of their personalities. [[spoiler: But he's unable to do much about Byakuya's already existing UndyingLoyalty towards Ichigo, possibly because he [[WrongGenreSavvy deliberately attacked Byakuya's bond with his sword]] and didn't seem to realize until the very end that it wasn't Byakuya's most important bond.]]
** It seems like Tsukishima himself might feel this toward [[spoiler:Ginjo, believe it or not. Taken further in 478, where his first scene has him ''[[SkywardScream screaming at the skies]]'' as he mourns Ginjo's passing.]]
** He also failed to account for the fact that [[spoiler:Byakuya is [[IDidWhatIHadToDo willing to to terrible things for the greater good]], so that nobody else has to. Including killing his retroactive "mentor" Tsukishima.]]

* [[spoiler: UsedToBeASweetKid:]] [[spoiler: Possibly, if the last page of 477 (in which a pre-teen Tsukishima is comforted by Soul Reaper!Ginjo) is a hint.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: While not exactly a "Breakdown" per se, he does get pretty pissed when [[spoiler: Byakuya]] continues to insist that he can ''easily'' kill him as he continues to improvise techniques.

** He does have an official one when [[spoiler: he sees Ginjo on the ground, begging for him not to die.]]

** And [[MomentOfAwesome delightfully]] again when [[spoiler: he actually sees Ichigo in action for real.]]

* [[spoiler:ArcVillain: Unless the anime decides to drag out the effects of Book of the End, it looks like Tsukishima's been regulated to this status.]]

* AxCrazy: May be one, if chapter 462 is of any indication: Tsukishima's power has apparently "broken" an rendered "useless" many people before according to Ginjou, and it seems like Tsukishima does it just for fun. Also, it seems like he likes making [[SlasherSmile deranged smiles]], which is hardly a sign of mental health in fiction.

* BigBad: Of the Lost Agent arc. [[spoiler:Until revealed to be in a BigBadDuumvirate with Ginjo, that is.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: You...''did'' see his picture up there...right? Taking a look at who his [[DaisukeOno seiyuu]] is, you could even say the anime team [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] it.

* BlackEyes: Type 1 in the Manga. [[TheyJustDidntCare The anime ignores this]] and gives him non-descript BrownEyes.
* CloseCallHaircut: Inflicts this on Orihime. [[spoiler: And on Riruka.]]

-->[[spoiler: "That's not true. You're just horrible at acting. That's why we did it."]]

* DissonantSerenity: He's calm, gentle, and utterly reasonable in his behaviour. [[spoiler: All it does is highlight the level of insanity his powers inflict on those around him. You know it's bad when a villain can make it look like the horrified hero is the one who's being unreasonable to object to mind-rape.]]
* TheDreaded: A more subtle example. Tsukishima remains his nonchalant demeanor, but he tags polite jabs at Giriko and Yukio's apparent biggest flaws (the former drinks too much, the latter plays games too much). It's easy to see the nervousness in Giriko and Yukio's features.
* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: He stabs you once, and the battle is finished. [[spoiler: At least until he stabs Byakuya and then he discovers the one thing he can't defeat: UndyingLoyalty.]]

* AntiHero: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiheroes Type IV]], particularly for his [[TrainingFromHell brutality]] towards Ichigo. [[spoiler:And then [[WhamEpisode Chapter 458]] came along, and he was EvilAllAlong.]]
** Chapter 476 reveals that he's more of [[spoiler: a [[SlidingScaleOfAntivillains Type III]] AntiVillain.]]

* [[spoiler:BadBoss: Tells Tsukishima to kill Shishigawara after they're done fighting the Soul Reapers since his Fullbring ''might '' become too much for them to handle.]]

* [[spoiler:BroughtDownToBadass]]: Sometime in the past, after he [[spoiler:lost his Soul Reaper powers.]]

** UnkemptBeauty
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: [[spoiler: "Bankai!"]]
* CallingYourAttacks: [[spoiler: "Getsuga Tensho!"]]
* [[spoiler: CardCarryingVillain: So much so that Tsukishima had to ''rewrite his mind '' to help him win Ichigo's trust. Tsukishima claims he's a terrible actor and could never have acted as a convincing good guy otherwise.]]
* [[spoiler: CryForTheDevil: Chapter 477 is very much about this. Ichigo seems to hold pity for him, Riruka says that Ginjou saved the Fullbringers but only Ichigo could save ''him'', and Tsukishima mourns him openly on his own.]]
* CombatPragmatist: '''BIG TIME'''.
* [[spoiler: DarkIsEvil: He dresses in all black, is manipulative, rude and brutal, but he did ''not '' seem like a villain. Until Chapter 458, when this is played straight.]]
* [[spoiler: DarkMessiah: Riruka's speech at the end of chapter 470 is shaping him up to be this to the Xcution members.]]
** Confirmed when [[spoiler: we see him recruiting the Fullbringers after their past blew up on them big time]] and ''specially'' in 477 [[spoiler: when we both see Riruka refer to him as one, ''and '' we see how he met Tsukishima.]]

* [[spoiler: EvilCounterpart: To Ichigo, being both {{BFS}} wielding former Substitute Soul Reapers who have a SwordBeam technique, with a rude personality that hides a kinder side. However, while Ichigo's a genuinely good person, Ginjo was just acting. As far character designs go, both incorporate/have incorporated fur (think Ginjou's jacket, Super Hollow Ichigo's fur, the fur in the coat worn by the Hollow Ichigo/Tensa Zangetsu fusion) and skull/bone (the Substitute Soul Reaper badge, Super Hollow Ichigo again, Ichigo's Fullbring, Ginjou's sword chapter 458 onwards) motifs in their designs). And Ginjo is a Soul Reaper with hollow powers, like Ichigo.]]
** [[spoiler: He even has Ichigo's tendency to empathize with opponents through battle. Which he uses on Ichigo.]]
* [[spoiler: EvilLaugh: A ''spectacular '' one near the end of chapter 458.]]
* [[spoiler: EvilSoundsDeep]]
* {{Expy}}: Hmm, let's see. [[spoiler: A villain who happens to be the previous holder of the hero's job title]], check. [[spoiler: He apparently went AWOL]], check. He comes back with a bunch of normal humans with powers, check. He has a DissonantSerenity - filled, [[spoiler: Bishonen partner]], check. Are we talking about Ginjo, or [[YuYuHakusho Sensui?]]

* FacialMarkings: [[spoiler: His bankai slaps a cross mark on his face, keeping in the theme of his Fullbring name.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There was his eye-reflection on Tsukishima's sword, that bogus info about Isshin to bait Ichigo into Xcution, the HalfTruth to Chad about "Book of the End", the brutal training inflicted upon Ichigo, the self-admittance that he'd make a cliched villain, and finally, [[LastNameBasis the dropping]] of a FirstNameBasis with Ichigo [[spoiler:after Tsukishima cut Ginjo]]. Tsukishima even calls Ginjo out on that last bit.

* [[spoiler: GoodColorsEvilColors: When he is playing the role of the "good guy" and his "Cross of Scaffold" is untainted, its guard is a shade of gold. After he got cut by Tsukushima to regain his memories and infused his Substitute Soul Reaper Combat Pass with Cross of Scaffold, the guard became black...in addition to gaining a skull]].
* LastNameBasis: Virtually everyone calls him by last name, [[spoiler: it is a tradition amongst Bleach villains after all...]]
** LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "[[TemptingFate I make a hell of a clichéd villain]]."
* HalfTruth: He said that Tsukishima's sword can cut through anything. Come [[WhamEpisode Chapter 468]]...
** Also, he said that Book of the End is just a sword that cuts through anything, and it doesn't have any special powers. It sounds like a massive lie, but in chapter 477, [[spoiler:Riruka confirmed that Tsukishima can 'switch' from his {{Retconjuration}} sword to a regular, cutting blade.]]
* [[ImportantHaircut Important Hairstyle Change]]: After [[spoiler: being released from Tsukishima's Fullbring]], he lets his hair become messy with strands hanging over his face.
* [[spoiler:InterimVillain: While Kubo hasn't elaborated on his backstory yet, Ginjo was the first substitute Soul Reaper, who seems to know about Isshin and Urahara. While he's only appeared in the Lost Agent arc, his potential legacy might have an effect on the story later on, at least regarding Isshins past.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: It's interesting to note that this is the only opponent that Ichigo actually kills.]]
* [[spoiler:MemoryGambit: One that rivals ''Manga/DeathNote'' in effectiveness.]]

* [[spoiler:NiceJobFixingItVillain: In retrospect, instead of coldly sparing him, offing Ichigo on the spot would've prevented Rukia from restoring Ichigo's Soul Reaper powers.]]
* NotWorthKilling: Does this to [[spoiler:Ichigo after he steals his Fullbring power. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Comes back to bite him in the ass.]]]]
** Subverted, It's actually a PetTheDog moment [[spoiler: since Ginjo does tell Ichigo he never intended to kill him at all.]]

* OhCrap: After TheReveal, [[spoiler:when Ichigo gets his Soul Reaper powers back.]]

--> [[spoiler:Ginjo: "Hah! Your Getsuga Tensho's power has grown, I'll give you that! But the improvement is minimal! Your only hope hasn't given you anything! ''This isn't nearly enough to kill me, Kurosaki!''"]]
--> [[spoiler:Ichigo: "You idiot. That wasn't a Getsuga Tensho.''That was a practice swing.''"]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Implied, at first glance, he looks roughly the same age as Ichigo, but a few chapters later he is shown consuming alcohol (even getting drunk at one point) and occasionally refers to Ichigo as "Kid". [[spoiler:Since he was the first Substitute Soul Reaper, chances are that he's around as old as the senior captains.]]
** Comfirmed in Chapter 477, He was a fully grown adult when [[spoiler: he met a very young Tsukishima]].
* [[spoiler: PowerDyesYourHair]]: [[spoiler: His bankai turns his hair white.]]
** [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings]]: [[spoiler: His bankai gives him these weird...]] ''[[spoiler: things]]'' [[spoiler: on his back, jury's out on whether they're actually wings or [[CombatTentacles some kind of tentacle]]]].
*** [[spoiler: They seem to be made of PureEnergy rather than matter, much like Ishida's single wing in his final form was.]]
* PowerParasite: [[spoiler: His apparent goal, but in an unusual twist, he personally trains with TheHero himself for it. After completing the training, Ginjo literally backstabs Ichigo, merges a Soul Reaper badge with his sword, impales Ichigo through the chest and absorbs his Fullbring. After going OneWingedAngel, he can give upgrades to his fellow Fullbringers by slashing them with that same sword. In addition, Ishida ascertained that Ginjo now has Getsuga Tensho and the same reiatsu level ''as '' Ichigo. ]]
* [[spoiler: PragmaticVillainy: Really hates Tsukishima's sadism, because [[MindRape mind raping]] people makes them useless.]]
* [[spoiler: PsychoticSmirk]]: Frequently.
* ProperlyParanoid: Why does he want to [[spoiler:kill Shishigawara in spite of the latter's UndyingLoyalty to Tsukishima? Well, Shishigawara is starting to doubt his loyalty to Tsukishima; he hasn't been bookmarked yet. ]]
** There's also the fact that his power is extremely unpredictable and deadly. [[spoiler:The last thing he wants is to make an underling more powerful than himself or Tsukishima]].
* [[spoiler: [[BlackEyesOfCrazy Red Eyes of Crazy]] : In his Bankai state his sclera turn [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]]]].
* [[spoiler: SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: After absorbing Ichigo's powers and enhancing himself he's now wearing a sort of bone armor. Even part of the handle of his sword now looks like a spine.]]
* SmugSnake: Is haughty and arrogant when in control. Breaks down fast when unanticipated events (e.g.: the discovery that Ichigo's got''' ''way'' ''' more reiatsu than he thought).

* SwordBeam: Which is ''huge''.
** And as of Chapter 470, [[spoiler: he can use Getsuga Tensho.]]
** He outdoes ''that'' in Chapter 476 by [[spoiler: firing a]] ''[[spoiler: gigantic]]'' [[spoiler: cero from the tip of his sword.]]
* [[spoiler:RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Tsukishima, but for all his bravado, Ginjo is the more pragmatic of the two. See Tsukishima's section below.]]

* [[spoiler:TakingTheBullet: Saved Ichigo from Tsukishima, but [[MemoryGambit it reverted him back into]] [[EvilAllAlong his true self]] as a result.]]
* ThighHighBoots: [[spoiler: Part of his his Fullbring armour chapter 461 onwards.]]

* TrainingFromHell: Subjects Ichigo to this, to the point of [[spoiler: [[EyeScream slashing his eyes]] and blocking Orihime's path when she tries to help him.]]
* [[spoiler:VictoryIsBoring: When Tsukishima suggested bookmarking Ishida, he refused because according to him, a fight they can't lose is boring.]]
* [[spoiler: WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: In his bankai state]]

[[spoiler: [[ILied Except they don't]], and the Xcution members old and new are actually all part of a plot to steal Ichigo Kurosaki's powers to strengthen their own. And Ginjou turns out to have been ''the'' other Shinigami Substitute, and the reason why there weren't any others until Ichigo came along: he recruited the others, who were empowered humans rejected by others until he came along.]]

'''Species:''' Shinigami-Human Hybrid\\

A mysterious and manipulative individual, Ginjo is the apparent leader of Xcution, although he doesn't seem to care too much of it, or acknowledge any real ladder within the organization. He approached Ichigo, tempting him with bogus investigative questioning regarding his father to arouse his interest concerning Xcution. [[spoiler: According to Hitsugaya, Kugo was the first ever Substitute Shinigami, but his going AWOL is what prompted the implementation of the anti-Substitute law in the Soul Society]].

[[spoiler: In his final battle with Ichigo, Kugo sustains [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake massive wounds to the point where he can't even stand]]. After collapsing and wondering [[WhatCouldHaveBeen what would Ichigo have done if he was a Substitute Shinigami before him]], [[KilledOffForReal Kugo eventually dies.]]]].

* [[spoiler:BroughtDownToBadass]]: Sometime in the past, after he [[spoiler:lost his Shinigami powers.]]

* [[spoiler: EvilCounterpart: To Ichigo, being both {{BFS}} wielding former Substitute Shinigami who have a SwordBeam technique, with a rude personality that hides a kinder side. However, while Ichigo's a genuinely good person, Ginjo was just acting. As far character designs go, both incorporate/have incorporated fur (think Ginjou's jacket, Super Hollow Ichigo's fur, the fur in the coat worn by the Hollow Ichigo/Tensa Zangetsu fusion) and skull/bone (the Substitute Shinigami badge, Super Hollow Ichigo again, Ichigo's Fullbring, Ginjou's sword chapter 458 onwards) motifs in their designs). And Ginjo is a shinigami with hollow powers, like Ichigo.]]

* [[spoiler: GoodColorsEvilColors: When he is playing the role of the "good guy" and his "Cross of Scaffold" is untainted, its guard is a shade of gold. After he got cut by Tsukushima to regain his memories and infused his Substitute Shinigami Combat Pass with Cross of Scaffold, the guard became black...in addition to gaining a skull]].

* [[spoiler:InterimVillain: While Kubo hasn't elaborated on his backstory yet, Ginjo was the first substitute Shinigami, who seems to know about Isshin and Urahara. While he's only appeared in the Lost Agent arc, his potential legacy might have an effect on the story later on, at least regarding Isshins past.]]

* [[spoiler:NiceJobFixingItVillain: In retrospect, instead of coldly sparing him, offing Ichigo on the spot would've prevented Rukia from restoring Ichigo's Shinigami powers.]]

* OhCrap: After TheReveal, [[spoiler:when Ichigo gets his Shinigami powers back.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: Implied, at first glance, he looks roughly the same age as Ichigo, but a few chapters later he is shown consuming alcohol (even getting drunk at one point) and occasionally refers to Ichigo as "Kid".

After completing the training, Ginjo literally backstabs Ichigo, merges a Shinigami badge with his sword, impales Ichigo through the chest and absorbs his Fullbring. After going OneWingedAngel, he can give upgrades to his fellow Fullbringers by slashing them with that same sword. In addition, Ishida ascertained that Ginjo now has Getsuga Tensho and the same reiatsu level ''as '' Ichigo. ]]

The founder of Xcution, he successfully transferred several Fullbringers' powers to a Substitute Shinigami, but killed everyone directly involved afterward and disappeared. [[spoiler: (It later turns out that these are FakeMemories he planted within the members of Xcution.)]] In his first appearance, he attacks and wounds Ishida [[spoiler: or so it seems, it later turns out it was Ginjo who did it]], then sends out Shishigawara to attack Orihime. When Shishigawara hesitates due to his infatuation with her, Tsukishima appears and cuts Orihime down, He later makes an unexpected arrival at Xcution's base, slicing the door straight through. After fighting Sado, Ichigo and Ginjo atop the roof of their base, the destruction alerted the police, forcing everyone to bail out before they arrived, but not before Tsukishima took a cheap potshot at Chad.

** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: Briefly, upon temporarily losing his arm.]] It happens again [[spoiler: when Ichigo gets his shinigami powers back]], again when [[spoiler: Kisuke and Isshin knock Orihime and Chad unconscious, saving them from his MindRape]], when [[spoiler: Senbonzakura's petals block his attack on Byakuya]], ''and'' when [[spoiler:Riruka blocks his attack on Ichigo.]] which is ''immediately'' followed by a SkywardScream.

* [[spoiler: UsedToBeASweetKid:]] [[spoiler: Possibly, if the last page of 477 (in which a pre-teen Tsukishima is comforted by Shinigami!Ginjo) is a hint.]]

* [[spoiler:CurbStompBattle: She the only Fullbringer to actually defeat a Shinigami. Granted Rukia was holding back but still.]]

* SmugSnake: Actually has a powerful ability, [[spoiler: but he was little more than a fly compared to a Shinigami Captain.]]

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Has a slot machine-based Fullbring that, while unpredictable, is potentially very deadly. Ginjo even seems to consider him a greater threat than his fellow Fullbringers. [[spoiler: and it's noticable that, excluding Riruka, the only Fullbringers who give their shinigami opponents a run for their money are the Fullbringers who don't receive Ginjou's power-up from Ichigo: Tsukishima and Moe.]]

* TheUnfavourite: [[spoiler:Despite having a rather powerful Fullbring, he didn't recieve an upgrade from Ginjo, and the latter even flat-out orders Tsukishima [[BadBoss to kill him after fighting the Shinigami because his getting any stronger would threaten their group.]]]]

[[spoiler: After being beaten handily by Renji, she sacrifices herself to save him from being killed by Yukio's Fullbring...[[DisneyDeath or so we thought]], after the Shinigami vs. Xcution battles are over, she appears alive and well although her boots are destroyed along with her Fullbring]]

His Fullbring "Book of the End" allows him to transform his bookmark into a katana purported to be able to cut anything; however, it has become increasingly clear that [[spoiler:it also allows him to implant his existence into a target's (this includes people ''and''inanimate objects) past]] without leaving a wound. Through this, he can make himself a friend or an enemy of that person [[spoiler:or, with objects, retroactively gain experience of them, or lay traps, for example.]] Apparently, the effect is removed if the target is stabbed again. The details are not fully explained, but according to [[VillainsNeverLie Tsukishima himself]] this is different from [[spoiler:[[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight altering the timeline]] or [[FakeMemories implanting false memories]]; changes can only be applied to one target at a time, and while the changes will affect Tsukishima as well, they don't cause sweeping rewrites to the world at large. As a catch, also, if the person given these false memories starts to be defused, he can re-brainwash them ''and cause them physical pain '' as he does so. although the effects are also undone if Tsukishima dies.]] According to [[spoiler: Riruka]], Book of The End [[spoiler: actually has two blades: one that can falsify history, and the other one that has no special ability other than an extremely sharp cutting edge which Riruka states he uses to kill people.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: When he drops his slicked back haircut and lets his hair down, he becomes ''pretty'' [[http://mangastream.com/read/bleach/66136137/5 attractive]] (Note that the image is a spoiler, view at your own risk).

** True, but then if he did that, [[spoiler:[[http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/460/11 he wouldn't just have Rukia to deal with.]]]] Not that he realized this. [[spoiler: However, it's a PetTheDog moment for Ginjo since he never wanted to actually '''kill''' Ichigo.]]

* InkSuitActor: Seriously, take a good look at Tsukishima, then a look at DaisukeOno, [[http://media.animevice.com/uploads/1/11958/224700-ono_daisuke__95__large.jpg his seiyu]]. Apart from the scar, there's really no difference at all.
** He's even more similar to him [[http://www.generasia.com/w/images/thumb/e/e8/Ono_Daisuke_(2008).jpg/220px-Ono_Daisuke_(2008).jpg here]]. The split fringe, the smile...wow.

* [[spoiler: TheDragon]]

* [[spoiler: BigBadDuumvirate: Initially seemed to be [[BigGood Ichigo's strongest ally]] against Tsukishima, but it was a MemoryGambit meant to divert Ichigo's trust away from his real allies, and Ginjo's recently reverted back to his true self via a second slash by Tsukishima; the two were cohorts from the start.]]

* TheDreaded: A more subtle example. Tsukishima remains his nonchalant demeanor, but he tags polite jabs at Giriko and Yukio's apparent biggest flaws (the former drinks too much, the latter plays games too much). It's easy to see the nervousness in Giriko and Yukio's features.

* FirstNameBasis: As part [[FauxAffablyEvil of his friendly facade]], he's pretty much the ''sole'' villain with an habit of calling everyone by their first name: Ichigo, Yukio, [[spoiler: Byakuya]]. Oddly enough, Ginjo is the sole exception..maybe because [[spoiler: [[FridgeBrilliance he's probably the person who knows him the best, so his false friendliness would be pointless.]] ]]

* BigBad: Of the Lost Agent arc [[spoiler:until revealed to be in a BigBadDuumvirate with Ginjo.]]

The members of Xcution have one single wish: [[IJustWantToBeNormal to become normal humans]]. In order to do so they must give their powers their exact opposite: a living human with the powers of a Soul Reaper. It is to that end that they wish to aid Ichigo Kurosaki in regaining his Soul Reaper powers. However, there are some former Xcution members who have their own plans.

[[spoiler: [[ILied Except they don't]], and are actually all part of a plot to steal Ichigo Kurosaki's powers to strengthen their own.
