History Characters / BleachXCution

* SmallNameBigEgo: All of them thought they could take on the Soul Reaper Captains and Lieutenants who spent hundreds of years training simply because they gained a piece of Ichigo's Fullbring. Obviously they are quickly defeated with little difficulty. Thankfully, after [[CurbStompBattle this trainback]], all their arrogance get out of the window.

* DarkIsEvil: He dresses in all black, has black hair, is manipulative, rude and brutal and freely admits he makes a cliched villain. He is eventually revealed to be the true ArcVillain and that Tsukishima is following his orders. His true personality shows him as a malicious and sadistic individual. During the climax of the arc, he becomes clad in black and white skeletal armor.

* EvilCounterpart: He is a darker, more cynical and bitter version of Ichigo. Both are {{BFS}}-wielding Substitute Soul Reapers with SwordBeam techniques. They are both rude people hiding gentler personalities, who will let out an inner BloodKnight if it will help them achieve their goals. They both have Hollow-derived powers and they can both control their sentimentality if it means getting the job done. However, Ginjo struggles to trust people and holds grudges when his trust is broken. Ichigo is better able to understand and empathise with others and therefore doesn't hold grudges. This crucial difference is what defines their reactions to learning about Ukitake's surveillance and kill-switch: Ginjo cannot forgive and becomes an enemy of Soul Society while Ichigo realises Ukitake was being sensible and instigated a method whereby Ichigo could figure out the truth for himself. The post-war novels later reveal that Ginjo's problem wasn't a trust issue, but that Soul Society had tried to assassinate him and in the process killed all his friends. Ginjo is what Ichigo could have become if he had lost all his friends too.

* HerosEvilPredecessor: He was the Substitute Soul Reaper before Ichigo. He turned against Soul Society when his friends were killed by a Soul Reaper and learning the true nature of substitute badge. This would prompt the anti-substitute law in Soul Society. He first appears in the aptly titled Lost Agent arc to manipulate his successor Ichigo Kurosaki into joining his organization in order to help him in getting Fullbring. Ginjo aims at getting Ichigo strong enough so that he can take his power at the appropriate time and use the accumulated power to wage war on Soul Society. To further illustrate this, they both use the Getsuga Tensho at each other during their fight.

* InterimVillain: He's the ArcVillain that is sandwiched between the two major BigBad villains, Aizen and Yhwach. He had neither the longevity or gravitas of the other two, but he was able to [[HeroicBSOD break]] Ichigo so completely that Ichigo ended up sobbing on his knees ''begging'' for his stolen power to be returned. The consequence is the restoration of Ichigo's Soul Reaper powers, allowing Ichigo to come out of his 'retirement' from being a Soul Reaper while also allowing the Gotei 13 to repay their debt to Ichigo for defeating Aizen, by helping him to defeat this interim villain. The villain later returns during the story's final battle to ensure Ichigo has the power required to defeat Yhwach. Because the manga was CutShort due to the creator's failing health, the follow-up light novel ''Can't Fear Your Own World'' expands Ginjo's back story, clarifying the full extent of his importance to the wider plot.

* MysteriousBacker: Tsukishima suddenly begins targeting Ichigo and his friends and Ginjo suddenly starts helping Ichigo and his friends. The only thing they know about X-Cution, Fullbring and Tsukishima comes from Ginjo. Ginjo's reason for wanting Ichigo's help is flimsy at best. He's eventually revealed to be the real villain of the Lost Agent arc who cultivated Ichigo's power to steal for himself.

* PowerDuplication: His enhanced Cross of Scaffold gives him the abilitiy to replicate the powers of others that he has absorbed. He is capable of using Invaders Must Die despite the fact that Yukio was defeated, and can presumbably use the Fullbring of the other members of Xcution. He can use his own version of Ichigo's Fullbring which clads him in skeletal armor. He can also use a Getsuga Tensho as well which is just as powerful as Ichigo's.

* ShadowArchetype: See {{Foil}}. Ginjo even wonders would Ichigo become like him if they switched places.

* SuperEmpowering: One of the abilites of his enhanced Fullbring is to transfer portions of the power to others. After stealing Ichigo's Fullbring, he grants part of each to almost all the other Fullbringers to power them up while keeping most of it for himself.

* TallDarkAndSnarky: He's big, heavily built. and is quite sarcastic.

* VillainHasAPoint: Yet another villain who (rightfully) claims that Soul Society is a big nest of vipers and something must to be done with it.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: A RequiredSecondaryPower for Book of The End. Whenever Tsukishima bookmarks something, he immediatly learns it's ''entire history''; this means he's very easy for him to figure out a weakness in an opponent's fighting style.

* DeadpanSnarker: Ginjo boasts about his elaborate plan for why he faked his personality to fool Ichigo only to be shot down Tsukishima's bland comment that the real reason is because Ginjo's a crap actor.

* FakeMemories: He has the power to implant memories in those he stabs, making them believe they were always his friends. It's used to agonizing effect to cause Ichigo's friends and family think he is their ally and Ichigo the one acting strange. However the power is not perfect and those it is used against can start to question the plausibility of the fake memories, though he does enjoy forcing this as him directly questioning his victims implanted memories will cause them to breakdown.

* HeelFaceTurn: After being killed he ends up in Soul Society and is taken in by Kūkaku Shiba, who starts training him to fight the Vandenreich. When he meets Ichigo again during the final fight, Ichigo is still understandably wary of him, but Tsukishima helps fix Tensa Zangetsu, burrying the hatchet between them.
* TheHeavy: Tsukishima is the central antagonist of the Lost Agent arc. He drove the plot of the arc in just about every way; without him, Ginjo's plan would've never come to fruition, or turned out successful as it did. He stalks and brainwashes Ichigo's friends and family to turn them against him to corner him so that when the time was right, Ginjo could backstab Ichigo and steal his Fullbring. Even after TheReveal, he's manages to share equal ground with his partner on account of being more powerful and not at all subservient.

* LightningBruiser: He's very skilled with the Fullbringers's High-Speed Movement ability, able to survive getting kicked into the roof of his mansion and managing to catch even Byakuya (a student of ''Yoruchi'') off guard.

* ManipulativeBastard: Tsukishima is a cunning individual who enacts Ginjo's plan. He uses his Fullbring's power to insert his presence in the pasts of anyone he cuts in order brainwash all of Ichigo's friends and family. This makes Ichigo appear to be insane in front of them all when Ichigo retaliates. Ichigo would then get bailed by Ginjo, setting up another part of Ginjo's plan where Tsukishima would cut Ginjo again to undo the effects of Book of the End. The two would then break Ichigo and steal his Fullbring from him.

* MultipleChoicePast: A side-effect of his Fullbring is, that whenever he inserts himself into the past, the past will always remain real for him. When he inserts himself into a new past, that past too will be added to his, regardless of how contradictory it is. The end result is that Tsukishima has a plethora of pasts that contradict each other, but are true for him nonetheless. Luckily for Tsukishima, he is able to remember and recognize, which aspects of his past are a result of his Fullbring and which not.

* PeacefulInDeath: In his final moment, Shishigawara's YouAreNotAlone makes him realize that he was never alone and he genuinely thanks Shishigawara for his loyalty before passed away peacefully.

* ArtisticLicenceBiology: She believes that predators are always more than theirs prey. However, [[ExaggeratedTrope every first class student knows]] that predators are lesser than theirs prey because they doesn't survive otherwise and become extinct. It's called food chain, Riruka!
* TheBadGuyWins: Heavily {{downplayed}}. Riruka succeeds in knocking out Rukia but by the time she gets out of Rukia's body all of her comrades are either dying, dead or knocked out, [[PyrrhicVictory meaning her victory over Rukia was pretty much meaningless]].

* EvilIsPetty: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. He actually has a [[FreudianExcuse justified reason]] for revenge but the problem is how it's done: instead of doing it like a reasonable person, he's lashing out at the entire world and use and destroy everyone at his path. As a result, his attempt to avenge his friends looks like a temper tantrum of a child who didn't get a cookie. Even more, Ginjo's HeelFaceTurn happened after Ginjo [[HeelRealisation realised that he's revenge is petty]].

* {{Delinquent}}: He goes to a school full of stereotypical Japanese thugs. While he doesn't exactly sport a perm, he more or less plays the part with the way he dresses and speaks.

* WouldNotHitAGirl: If he finds a girl pretty, he won't bring himself to attack her.

* CryCute: In Chapter 478, after waking up and speaking to Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime. [[{{Tsundere}} She denies that she's crying, though]].

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

* TestosteronePoisoning: As if his enhanced Fullbring looking like The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk wasn't bad enough, he's also got a giant "♂" across his chest.

* TheBadGirlWins: Heavily {{downplayed}}. Riruka succeeds in knocking out Rukia but by the time she gets out of Rukia's body all of her comrades are either dying, dead or knocked out, [[PyrrhicVictory meaning her victory over Rukia was pretty much meaningless]].

* NiceHat: The tails on the back of her hat, which stand up straight after she's infused with Ichigo's Fullbring. Hilariously, this is just before she fights bunny-obsessed Rukia.

* NiceHat: Wears a nice black cap at all times.

* SmallNameBigEgo: All of them thought they could take on the Shinigami Captains and Lieutenants who spent hundreds of years training simply because they gained a piece of Ichigo's Fullbring. Obviously they are quickly defeated with little difficulty. Thankfully, after [[CurbStompBattle this trainback]], all their arrogance get out of the window.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: They ''all'' thought the 13 Court Guard Companies were a bunch of weaklings. It bites them in the ass when they face several Captains and Lieutenants, [[spoiler:with three of them dying, one being {{depower}}ed, and the remaining two only surviving because their opponents didn't want them to die. At least, they learned their lesson after this point.]]

* LogicalWeakness: His ability to insert himself into someone's past makes it hard to fight him since all he needs to do is make himself someone important to whoever he is fighting, which usually would make them stop doing so since they don't have a natural way of getting around FightingYourFriend. However, he has to insert himself into a specific role within someone's past, such as a mentor, friend, or family member. As a result, any memories that are unrelated to whatever he inserts himself as remain the same. When he inserts himself as a mentor to Byakuya, Byakuya grievously wounds him anyway because Tsukishima [[FailedASpotCheck didn't think]] about how Byakuya had gone through CharacterDevelopment and saw Ichigo as an ally, meaning Byakuya had no qualms killing him since he knew that Tsukishima was harming someone he saw as an ally.

* CardCarryingVillain: Discussed in-universe when training Ichigo; he invokes all the Shounen villain stereotypes to make Ichigo feel as though Orihime's life is on the line because he knows Ichigo performs better when there's a genuine threat against someone's life. At the end of the training, he tells Ichigo that he'd make a very clichéd villain. It later turns out that he actually IS a villain, and his prior claims turn out to be correct.

* DissonantSerenity: While explaining his Fullbring ability and what it can caused (kill the target if it doesn't meet time limits he imposed), he's completely calm.

%% * DissonantSerenity: While explaining his Fullbring ability.

* CharacterDevelopment: Following his humiliating defeat at Hitsugaya's hands, Yukio treats Jackie kindly and suggests he'll reform the group in a couple of years, including her even though she lost her power. In ''Can't Fear Your Own World'', he stays true to his word. He later appears to help Ichigo and co alongside Riruka without hesitation; This is the same kid who whined about something minor as helping Ichigos training and openly admitted he despised Riruka and wouldn't have cared if she died.

* TookALevelInKindness: He becomes less [[{Jerkass}} jerkish]] in ''The Thousand-Year Blood War'' arc.

* NeverMyFault: Its implied that Yukio had been trying to convince himself that his bad relationship with his parents wasn't his fault and he had a justified reason to ruin his parents' life. {{Subverted|Trope}}, because his denying it means he actually know he's guity too and after Hitsugaya gave him a piece of mind he might reconsider his opinion on the whole situation.

* SelfServingMemory: Its implied that Yukio's memories about his parents are exaggerated inconviniences and/or actually a lie Yukio [[BelievingTheirOwnLies created to himself and strongly tries to believe in]]. Partly because [[NeverMyFault he doesn't feel guilty about killing them and thinking its his fault]]. After Hitsugaya gave him a piece of mind, he apparently starts to reconsider his attitude and maybe realise how its actually was.

* TookALevelInKindness: He becomes less {{Jerkass jerkish}} in ''The Thousand-Year Blood War'' arc.
