!! Hisana Kuchiki
Byakuya's wife and Rukia's older sister. She is first seen in the series as a student in one
4th seat of Lelouch's Kido classes alongside Gin original Captain, Akari Mari. He is encountered by Hitsugaya and Byakuya. Before she Momo during a trip into the Menos Forest during the Lelouch and the Law arc and returns with them and is welcomed back to the Gotei with very little fuss. Considering the man spent a long time fighting for his life against a shit ton of menos and other hollows and was never actually declared deceased it's easy to understand that his return is easier to recognize and accept for the Central Forty Six than say [[spoiler: contracts a disease that would otherwise be fatal to her Lelouch reunites her with Rukia and Hisana continues to live rising higher and higher in rank.

his return.



* IaijutsuPractitioner: Naomi says she learned it from him so obviously he’s this too.
* OldSoldier: Considering the hell he's probably been through and isn't the least bit overwhelmed by everything or exemplifying the traits of a ShellShockedVeteran he definitely qualifies here. Of course he seems a lot softer of an individual than the usual portrayal of this trope.
* ZenSurvivor

!! [[spoiler:Chief Prosecutor]] Byakuya Kuchiki
Captain of Squad 6 and head of the famous Kuchiki clan, but the first time we see Byakuya he is but a child and Lelouch actually teaches him a private lesson in Kido, under Yoruichi's supervision. As a child, Lelouch was something of an idol to him. As an adult, he continues to be one of Lelouch's strongest supporters.

* BattleCouple: With his wife Hisana. [[spoiler:And it shows with their Synergy Strike.]]
* BerserkButton: In canon this is listed as "Emotion Showing Button" [[TheStoic with]] [[{{Kuudere}} good]] [[TranquilFury reason]]. In Soul Chess this trope is played much more direct when [[spoiler: Talbumosuke cuts down Hisana]]. Byakuya [[UnstoppableRage lost it]]
* HappilyMarried: To Hisana[[spoiler:, and is now a father of twins Kyo and Isao.]]
* [[spoiler: HotDad]]: You could make an argument for this as of chapter 94.
* IncrediblyLamePun: After Hisana uses her [[LightTheWay Chant of Light]] against [[spoiler: Koga]] Byakuya tells her "that was brilliant".
* [[spoiler: KillTheOnesYouLove: In order to get on Muramasa’s good side he has to kill his children]].
* [[spoiler: PapaWolf]]: Guaranteed as of ch 94. [[spoiler: And shown in chapter 123. See ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight below]]
* [[spoiler: ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight]]: Uses [[spoiler: Forbidden kido]] to [[spoiler: [[PapaWolf protect his children]] by using spatial displacement kido (the same type that got Tessai in trouble)]].
--> '''Byakuya:''' [[spoiler: In times of crisis some laws have to be broken]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[BreakTheCutie then]] [[DespairEventHorizon shit]] [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids happened]].
* [[spoiler: WhatTheHellHero: Hisana really lays into him for defecting to Muramasa. It's not like she knows it's an act. [[KillTheOnesYouLove It would get worse.]]]]
** [[spoiler: She follows up on it later when she realizes its all an act and asked Byakuya why he couldn't trust her. Cue CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming]].
* YouRemindMeOfX: Lelouch tells Byakuya he reminds him of Suzaku.

!! Chojiro Sasakibe
Yamamoto's Vice-captain. [[spoiler: Dies in chapter 104 due to a fever and the lack of attention paid to him in-universe. Though it was helped by Yolanda killing his Zanpakuto [[MercyKill at Gonryomaru's request]]]]

!! Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto
Head Captain of the Gotei 13. [[spoiler: His bankai is Ryujin Jakka Mugen Ikari]]. [[spoiler: [[WhamEpisode He is killed by Aizen and Nyra]]]].

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: Subverted. It’s the same deal as Mari, but he’s around just long enough to lay a serious smackdown of payback on Aizen. See BigDamnHeroes below]].

* [[spoiler: LetsGetDangerous: Bankai.]]
* [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings: His Bankai's ultimate form]]

!! Gin Ichimaru
Though originally a "friend" of Lelouch's Gin is still the MagnificentBastard WildCard everyone knows him to be. Even [[spoiler: after Talbumosuke's death, when Lelouch convinces the Central Forty Six to consider Gin a FakeDefector and Gin is reinstated into the Gotei as the Vice-captain of Squad 9 to replace Hisagi he remains this way.]]

* [[spoiler: AntiHero: Type IV with shades of Type V definitely]]
* BlackComedyRape: Invoked in the omake chapter 74.03 (the omake for ch 82)
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Easily defeats his own Zanpakuto in the Reapers and Heralds arc.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To Lelouch. Though he’s not quite as intelligent [[spoiler: the fact that Hisana considers him to be the best the Gotei has at coming up with a plan during the Reapers and Heralds arc]] and considering Gin’s other actions it definitely qualifies him for this.
* [[spoiler: FakeDefector: Debatable as to whether or not Gin himself is one, but Lelouch makes him out to be one to the Central Forty Six. But then again he really does care about Rangiku, so it is possible he is entirely this. He's lucky Lelouch spoke in his defense]].
* [[spoiler: GoodIsNotNice: Good in only the sense of the fact that he’s once again affiliated with the Soul Society. Rangiku [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it]]]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicComedicSociopath]]: Gin might be a psycho, but he's quite comical at times.
* [[spoiler: IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy]]: In chapter 61 he says that [[spoiler: if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku]].
* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: Gin isn’t getting any retribution, verbal or otherwise, for killing Hachigen. The Soul Society, of course, since Hachigen is just an extra hand and was written off in the records as KIA, will not lay a hand on him, but it’s amazing that Shinji or one of the other Visoreds haven’t given Lelouch [[WhatTheHellHero a good scolding]].]]
** It’s possible they don’t know that he [[spoiler: was set loose as Tosen’s replacement Vice-captain for Hisagi]]
* OutGambitted: He comes up with a cunning plan during the [[spoiler: Reapers and Heralds arc]], and it is a very good one at that. Unfortunately [[spoiler: Eien Tamashi and Lelouch]] were one step ahead of that.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Gin flat out says the key phrase “I grew up” to [[spoiler: his Zanpakuto]]
* [[spoiler: TakeThat: Invoked by the author at what [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Gin did to Aizen]] in canon replicated with Talbumosuke here, only it works]].
* [[spoiler: WhatTheHellHero: Rangiku gives him a big one, including slapping him. Gin even denotes that he’d prefer she’d have [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Run him through with Haineko]] coming from a man who enjoys psychological torture and killed Hachigen in cold blood in Soul Chess, not to mention all of his actions in canon, this says something]].

!! Hisana Kuchiki
Byakuya's wife and Rukia's older sister. She is first seen in the series as a student in one of Lelouch's Kido classes alongside Gin and Byakuya. Before she [[spoiler: contracts a disease that would otherwise be fatal to her Lelouch reunites her with Rukia and Hisana continues to live rising higher and higher in rank. Currently she is the Captain of Squad 3. She was revealed to be pregnant just before going for the second battle and in one week after Hitsugaya's release from prison, she gave birth to twins Kyo and Isao.]] Her Zanpakuto is called Kaze no Irokoe. [[spoiler: Her Bankai is called Saigo no Chu no Kaze no Irokoe]]

* [[spoiler: ActionMom]]: As of chapter 94
* AnimalMotifs: A horned owl. [[spoiler: While in Bankai]].
* AscendedExtra



!! Ikkaku Madarame
The HotBlooded battle hungry 3rd seat of Squad 11. [[spoiler: He is killed in the Battle of Karakura Town by Karrthus Darigaaz]].

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Ikkaku states that he is not a virgin after Shisato calls him out on it.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
* TheRival: To Shisato

!! Isane Kotetsu
Vice-Captain of Squad 4 after her predecessor was detained for insanity. [[SarcasmMode Having Unohana for a captain obviously had nothing to do with that]]. Isane has shown her...interest and shyness around Lelouch and has become somewhat of a personal nurse for him whenever he's been injured and sent to her squad.

* CooldownHug: To [[spoiler: Unohana]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Is now this for [[spoiler: Yuna/Lelouch]]
* [[spoiler: YouWouldntShootMe]]: A non-dramatic, and more heartwarming version and with a sword. During [[spoiler: Unohana’s HeroicBSOD, Isane tells Unohana she knows Unohana won’t hurt her and defiantly walks towards her and gives her a CoolDownHug]]



!! [[spoiler:Captain-Commander]] Retsu Unohana
Captain of Squad 4 [[spoiler:now the NEW Captain of Squad 1]] and both a terror and a mother to her allies, a nightmare to her foes. [[spoiler:Her Bankai is Minazuki Zenmetsu ([[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Purify the Flesh by Total Eradication]]).]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Yeah, there’s a reason she is the second longest running captain.
* [[spoiler: AxCrazy]]: Used to be this
* [[spoiler: BadassInDistress: As of Aizen's Revenge arc.]]
* BlackComedyRape: There's a hilarious omake incident between her and Isane.
* [[spoiler: BloodKnight]]: Used to be this too. Along with [[spoiler: BloodLust]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: She’s expels a lot of reiatsu during the [[spoiler: second]] battle of Karakura Town due to [[spoiler: using her Bankai and]] healing a bunch of people, but she is confident that she can, along with Shunsui, Ukitake, Byakuya and Tessai, defeat Ulquiorra.
* CovertPervert: If the omakes are to be believed, Unohana rather enjoyed the time the Shinigami Women's Association walked in on Lelouch, Ukitake, and Byakuya watching "Adventures Up The Ass III: The Marathon."
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In spades. [[spoiler: She was originally a Rukongai serial killer, but a visit from Rita and a show of where she would wind up and how she could not go there changed her to be a more beneficial individual. Of course, at first, this didn’t stop her BloodKnight tendencies. It was after she lost someone very important to her that she stopped being AxCrazy and has spent her entire life [[TheAtoner changing herself and making something better of herself]]]]. It appears she seems to bury it all, but the tendencies are still there, but now she can control it.
* [[spoiler: EyesDoNotBelongThere: There are eyes on her wings courtesy of her Bankai’s ultimate form]]
* {{Fanservice}}: Unohana wearing nothing on her top except her bra during her battle with [[spoiler: Minazuki]]
* {{Flanderization}}: In canon, Unohana is benevolent, but if she smiles everyone falls in line. In the fic, her mere presence frightens those around her.
* FourIsDeath: She’s the fourth person to fight Spargga. [[CurbStompBattle The end result is not pretty]].
* [[spoiler: HeelRealization]]: If her DarkAndTroubledPast was anything to go by, Unohana stopped [[spoiler: creatively killing people]] because she didn't [[spoiler: like the atmosphere in hell]] and didn't want to go there.
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Breaks down when she’s forced to act like an AxCrazy BloodKnight again]]
* {{Irony}}: Unohana became the captain of the medical division, despite her [[spoiler: DarkAndTroubledPast]]
* [[spoiler: LaughingMad]]: She is awfully happy when she’s shown in the past butchering hollows [[spoiler: and people]].
* LetsGetDangerous: If she undoes her braid it's a sign that she's taking the fight seriously. To prove a point Her fight against [[spoiler: Ichigo's hollow form]] has her doing this. This action is absent in her fight with Spargga. Despite the fact that she [[spoiler: used Bankai]] on the latter, keep in mind which battle was a CurbStompBattle.
* [[spoiler: LickingTheBlade]]: Does this in a flashback. And it's creepy.
* MadeOfIron: Ichigo[[spoiler:'s half-hollow form ripped Ulquiorra to shreds. She survived an encounter with it]].
** [[spoiler: One of the lines put it nicely “A normal captain would’ve had their back torn in half”]]
** [[spoiler: She didn't just "survive it". She, technically, won against it by knocking Ichigo out of it. This woman is scary]]
* MagicKnight: Never seen more prominent than with her battle against [[spoiler: Ichigo’s half-hollow hybrid form]].
* MartialPacifist: [[DarkAndTroubledPast Excessively justified]].
* [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings: her Bankai’s ultimate form]]
* [[spoiler: ReformedCriminal]]
* [[spoiler: SlasherSmile]]: Used to sport this
* StepfordSmiler: If what Spargga said is to be taken at face value Unohana is possibly a Type C or perhaps used to actually be an AxCrazy BloodKnight and very very {{Yangire}} and TookALevelInKindness and buried the tendencies. WordOfGod has not commented on this yet.
** Confirmed with the events of chapter 94 and also apparently has shades of type B as well. There is a lot she is hiding behind that smile.
* [[spoiler: TheAtoner]]
* TookALevelInKindness: A la {{Backstory}}.
* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Had one of these. Sadly, note the "had.".
* [[spoiler: UnexpectedSuccessor: The NEW Captain of Squad One, by Rita herself.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Inverted. [[spoiler: Unohana was fracking [[AxCrazy nuts]] when she was young]].

!! Isane Kotetsu
Vice-Captain of Squad 4 after her predecessor was detained for insanity. [[SarcasmMode Having Unohana for a captain obviously had nothing to do with that]]. Isane has shown her...interest and shyness around Lelouch and has become somewhat of a personal nurse for him whenever he's been injured and sent to her squad.

* CooldownHug: To [[spoiler: Unohana]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Is now this for [[spoiler: Yuna/Lelouch]]
* [[spoiler: YouWouldntShootMe]]: A non-dramatic, and more heartwarming version and with a sword. During [[spoiler: Unohana’s HeroicBSOD, Isane tells Unohana she knows Unohana won’t hurt her and defiantly walks towards her and gives her a CoolDownHug]]

!! Toshiro Hitsugaya
The young child prodigy of {{Bleach}} makes his appearance very late in the first portion of the series, changing his destiny greatly. [[spoiler: he does not become a captain until after Aizen's defection and is instead Captain of Squad 5 rather than Squad 10]].

* ActuallyADoombot: See [[spoiler: FakingTheDead]] below
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: This is what leads him to get [[spoiler: ArrestedForHeroism]] and sets of the chain link of events that make up the Lelouch and the Law arc.
* AscendedFanboy: Openly supports the phantoms when he starts out as a Soul Reaper in training and eventually becomes one.
* EleventhHourRanger: By the time he enters the phantoms, there's not much of the story before their final mission.
* [[spoiler: FakingTheDead: Made an [[ActuallyADoombot Ice Clone]] to fake his own death in order to strengthen Momo's resolve.]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has one when he discovers Lelouch is Zero and Momo is Phantom Violet]].
** Another one came when [[spoiler:he was imprisoned for two years and stripped from his role as Captain by Central Forty-Six on account of [[ArrestedForHeroism QUESTIONABLE MISDEMEANORS AT BEST]].]]
* InsultBackfire: [[DumbMuscle Yammy]] is so [[TheDitz stupid]] that Hitsugaya's diverse vocabulary proves ineffective when using an insult to tick him off.
* IShallTauntYou: Uses this as a tactic to get Yammy to fire a cero so Ukitake can deflect it right back.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His plan to have Ukitake cero Yammy in the face knocks the big guy down, only for him to go into his enraged form.

to:

!! [[spoiler:Captain-Commander]] Retsu Unohana
Jushiro Ukitake
The [[AFatherToHisMen fatherly]] white haired captain of Squad 13. [[spoiler: His Bankai is called Hanron Dekinai Sogyo no Kotowari]].

* {{Archenemy}}: To Ginjo
* LimitBreak: His Bankai [[spoiler: when it stores up 19 attacks and then stores up a 20th fires back all the power it absorbs right back at the opponent]].
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Gives one to Ginjo as part of the man’s backstory.

!! Kaien Shiba
The [[spoiler: still alive]] Vice-Captain of Squad 13. [[spoiler: In the face of Metastacia, Lelouch's interference allowed Kaien to survive the encounter and avenge Miyako's death]]. [[spoiler:He and Rukia are currently married]].

* AscendedExtra
* BloodKnight: He seems like this when [[spoiler: Ichigo]] releases his true power, but WordOfGod says that it's actually his pride that makes him so elated, since he hates it when his opponents hold back.
* BerserkButton: Do not defile Miyako's honor or memory in front of him. You'll regret it.
** Due to this, [[spoiler: Mia]] has sort of become a living BerserkButton for him
* HandicappedBadass: Temporarily. While [[spoiler: trying to rescue Rukia]] Kaien loses the use of one of his arms and since Nejibana is a two-handed Zanpakuto and he still manages to hold his own, he qualifies for this trope
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has one when he realizes Miyako is a part of Mia]].
* HonorBeforeReason
* [[spoiler: IWillProtectHer]]: Has taken up this mentality towards [[spoiler: Rukia]]. [[spoiler: It's why they're married]].
* [[spoiler: MyGreatestFailure: He survives the encounter with Metastacia, but not being able to stop Miyako's death constantly eats away at him]].
* NoodleIncident: Kukaku knows one about him and a chocolate fountain
* NotSoStoic: Kaien '''flips out''' during his first and third battles with Mia for [[BerserkButton defiling his memories of Miyako]].
* [[spoiler: RelationshipUpgrade: In chapter 74, Kaien marries and deflowers Rukia]].
* ReverseShrapnel: [[spoiler: Part of his Bankai]].
* TookALevelInBadass: In chapter 64 Kaien [[spoiler: Learns Bankai]].
* WorldOfCardBoardSpeech: Delivers one to Mia saying that [[spoiler: It no longer matters to him that Miyako is a part of her. He will defeat her anyway]].

!! Kaname Tosen
The
Captain of Squad 4 [[spoiler:now 9. [[spoiler: Tosen was Aizen's subordinate, but Lelouch managed to convince him to make a HeelFaceTurn and betray Aizen]]. Tosen, even while on Aizen's side, can tell that Lelouch has a strong sense of Justice.

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: Lelouch convinces him to turn to [[spoiler: betray Aizen]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD]]: In
the NEW Captain aftermath of the Battle of Karakura Town arcs. [[spoiler:He lost both his student and his best friend. It was bad enough that he considered resigning himself as captain until Lelouch intervened.]]
* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard: Tosen nearly gets his team annihilated because Zurik is able to absorb the elemental energy in his Bankai]].
* [[spoiler: ReverseMole]]: His role [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn.]]
* [[spoiler: SixthRanger]]: to the phantoms.

!! Kenpachi Kiganjo
The captain
of Squad 1]] 11 before Zaraki's time.

* BrilliantButLazy: Not brilliant [[CurbStompBattle enough]].
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Let Zaraki talk smack
and both do as he pleased in his squad, but when Yachiru peed on the statue of the first Kenpachi he went nuts.

!! Kenpachi[[spoiler:, "Hitteki"]] Zaraki
The captain of Squad 11. [[ContinuityNod Wiped out his predecessor with
a terror single swing]]. [[spoiler:His Zanpakuto is called Fumetsu Seishin no Senso (Indestructable Spirit of War)]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Kenpachi’s Zanpakuto lets him [[spoiler: increase his power the longer he fights to the point where he gains faux-meatallic skin with flaming eyes when he reaches level 5]]. His Zanpakuto is standardly weaker than Kenpachi. Without his eyepatch, Kenpachi [[spoiler: equals his Zanpakuto’s level 3
and a mother to her allies, a nightmare to her foes. [[spoiler:Her Bankai is Minazuki Zenmetsu ([[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Purify his Zanpakuto can wipe the Flesh floor with Kenpachi at level 5. Kenpachi ever getting to level 5 is this trope. Most enemies would not last long enough for him to get to this point]].
* BadassBoast: “I’m Zaraki Kenpachi and I never quit”
** Kenpachi repeats said boast after [[spoiler: Ichigo snaps him out of his HeroicBSOD]]
* BerserkButton: Gets notably angrier [[spoiler:if you threaten Yachiru.]]
* FoeYay: With Nelliel
* HeartbrokenBadass: If it is indeed true that he and [[spoiler: the original Yachiru]] were more than friends. He qualifies for this.
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Suffers this after his Zanpakuto beats him]]
* [[spoiler: ItsPersonal: The main reason for limiting Ichigo's role in fighting Vanguard.]]
* MemeticBadass: The omake of ch 82 turns him into this.
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: [[spoiler: His first battle against Vanguard.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ichigo takes note of the fact that Kenpachi [[spoiler: [[HeroicBSOD is in some serious funk]]
by Total Eradication]]).the fact that Kenpachi isn’t jumping at the chance to challenge him to a battle]].
* TakeUpMySword: Outright defied in [[spoiler: his backstory. Kensei asks him if he was going to do this for Hekira Yachiru, but Kenpachi simply responds he’s not strong enough to do so and leaves. Presumably to get stronger]].
* [[spoiler: TookALevelInBadass: Finally learns the name of his Zanpakuto.

!! Kukaku Shiba
Kaien's [[HairTriggerTemper irate younger sister]]. She is hostile towards Lelouch at first, but has come to be one of his biggest supporters in recent years (in-universe of course). After Isshin's banishment

He is encountered by Hitsugaya and Momo during a trip into the Menos Forest during the Lelouch and the Law arc and returns with them and is welcomed back to the Gotei with very little fuss. Considering the man spent a long time fighting for his life against a shit ton of menos and other hollows and was never actually declared deceased it's easy to understand that his return is easier to recognize and accept for the Central Forty Six than say [[spoiler: Homura Yuna]]. He is made as [[spoiler: Shunsui's vice-captain]] as it is the only senior officer position open at the time of his return.

* IaijutsuPractitioner: Naomi says she learned it from him so obviously he’s this too.

* [[spoiler: FakeDefector: Debatable as to whether or not Gin himself is one, but Lelouch makes him out to be one to the Central Forty Six. But then again he really does care about Rangiku, so it is possible he is entirely this. He's lucky Lelouch spoke in his defense]].
* [[spoiler: GoodIsNotNice: Good in only the sense of the fact that he’s once again affiliated with the Soul Society. Rangiku [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it]]]]
* [[spoiler: IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy]]: In chapter 61 he says that [[spoiler: if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku]].
* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: Gin isn’t getting any retribution, verbal or otherwise, for killing Hachigen. The Soul Society, of course, since Hachigen is just an extra hand and was written off in the records as KIA, will not lay a hand on him, but it’s amazing that Shinji or one of the other Visoreds haven’t given Lelouch [[WhatTheHellHero a good scolding]].]]
** It’s possible they don’t know that he [[spoiler: was set loose as Tosen’s replacement Vice-captain for Hisagi]]

* [[spoiler: TakeThat: Invoked by the author at what [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Gin did to Aizen]] in canon replicated with Talbumosuke here, only it works]].
* [[spoiler: WhatTheHellHero: Rangiku gives him a big one, including slapping him.

The pushy, upstart vice-captain [[RatedMForManly manly]] Vice-Captain of Squad 8. [[spoiler:Killed by Loly in a very BRUTAL [[CruelAndUnusualDeath way]].]]. Her Zanpakuto in this series is Fukuro.

* DualWielding: Her Shikai is two small dagger blades.

7th Squad Captain. He is encountered replaced by Hitsugaya and Momo during a trip Susanna Shapikni]].

* PrecisionFStrike: While fighting Allon
--> That thing just [[TheWorfEffect threw one of my squad’s former prominent fighters
into the Menos Forest during dirt without doing much of anything]]. Fuck this! We can’t beat that thing!

!! Toshiro Hitsugaya
The young child prodigy of {{Bleach}} makes his appearance very late in the first portion of the series, changing his destiny greatly. [[spoiler: he does not become a captain until after Aizen's defection and is instead Captain of Squad 5 rather than Squad 10]].

* ActuallyADoombot: See [[spoiler: FakingTheDead]] below
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: This is what leads him to get [[spoiler: ArrestedForHeroism]] and sets of the chain link of events that make up
the Lelouch and the Law arc arc.
* AscendedFanboy: Openly supports the phantoms when he starts out as a Soul Reaper in training
and returns with them and is welcomed back to the Gotei with very little fuss. Considering the man spent a long time fighting for his life against a shit ton of menos and other hollows and was never actually declared deceased it's easy to understand that his return is easier to recognize and accept for the Central Forty Six than say [[spoiler: Homura Yuna]]. He is made as [[spoiler: Shunsui's vice-captain]] as it is the only senior officer position open at eventually becomes one.
* EleventhHourRanger: By
the time of his return.

* AscendedExtra
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Naomi says she learned it from him so obviously he’s this too.
* OldSoldier: Considering
he enters the hell he's probably been through and isn't phantoms, there's not much of the least bit overwhelmed by everything or exemplifying the traits of a ShellShockedVeteran he definitely qualifies here. Of course he seems a lot softer of an individual than the usual portrayal of this trope.
* ZenSurvivor

!! Kaname Tosen
The Captain of Squad 9. [[spoiler: Tosen was Aizen's subordinate, but Lelouch managed to convince him to make a HeelFaceTurn and betray Aizen]]. Tosen, even while on Aizen's side, can tell that Lelouch has a strong sense of Justice.

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: Lelouch convinces him FakingTheDead: Made an [[ActuallyADoombot Ice Clone]] to turn to [[spoiler: betray Aizen]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD]]: In the aftermath of the Battle of Karakura Town arcs. [[spoiler:He lost both
fake his student and his best friend. It was bad enough that he considered resigning himself as captain until Lelouch intervened.]]
* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard: Tosen nearly gets his team annihilated because Zurik is able

* [[spoiler: ReverseMole]]: His role [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn.

* [[spoiler: SixthRanger]]: to the phantoms.

The CovertPervert Vice-captain of Squad 9. Shuhei was also
HeroicBSOD: Has one of Lelouch's students while at the academy, but only during his final year. [[spoiler:Killed by a Cero from Gloria.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

!! Gin Ichimaru
Though originally a "friend" of Lelouch's Gin is still the MagnificentBastard WildCard everyone knows him to be. Even [[spoiler: after Talbumosuke's death,
when he discovers Lelouch convinces the is Zero and Momo is Phantom Violet]].
** Another one came when [[spoiler:he was imprisoned for two years and stripped from his role as Captain by
Central Forty Six to consider Gin a FakeDefector and Gin is reinstated into the Gotei as the Vice-captain Forty-Six on account of Squad 9 to replace Hisagi he remains this way.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Easily defeats his own Zanpakuto in the Reapers and Heralds arc.
[[ArrestedForHeroism QUESTIONABLE MISDEMEANORS AT BEST]].]]
* EvilCounterpart: To Lelouch. Though he’s not quite as intelligent [[spoiler: the fact InsultBackfire: [[DumbMuscle Yammy]] is so [[TheDitz stupid]] that Hisana considers him to be the best the Gotei has at coming up with a plan during the Reapers and Heralds arc]] and considering Gin’s other actions it definitely qualifies him for this.
* [[spoiler: FakeDefector: Debatable as to whether or not Gin himself is one, but Lelouch makes him out to be one to the Central Forty Six. But then again he really does care about Rangiku, so it is possible he is entirely this. He's lucky Lelouch spoke in his defense]].
* [[spoiler: GoodIsNotNice: Good in only the sense of the fact that he’s once again affiliated with the Soul Society. Rangiku [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it]]]]
* [[spoiler: IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy]]: In chapter 61 he says that [[spoiler: if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku]].
* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: Gin isn’t getting any retribution, verbal or otherwise, for killing Hachigen. The Soul Society, of course, since Hachigen is just an extra hand and was written off in the records as KIA, will not lay a hand on him, but it’s amazing that Shinji or one of the other Visoreds haven’t given Lelouch [[WhatTheHellHero a good scolding]].]]
** It’s possible they don’t know that he [[spoiler: was set loose as Tosen’s replacement Vice-captain for Hisagi]]
* OutGambitted: He comes up with a cunning plan during the [[spoiler: Reapers and Heralds arc]], and it is a very good one at that. Unfortunately [[spoiler: Eien Tamashi and Lelouch]] were one step ahead of that.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Gin flat out says the key phrase “I grew up” to [[spoiler: his Zanpakuto]]
* [[spoiler: TakeThat: Invoked by the author at what [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Gin did to Aizen]] in canon replicated with Talbumosuke here, only it works]].
* [[spoiler: WhatTheHellHero: Rangiku gives him a big one, including slapping him. Gin even denotes that he’d prefer she’d have [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Run him through with Haineko]] coming from a man who enjoys psychological torture and killed Hachigen in cold blood in Soul Chess, not to mention all of his actions in canon, this says something]].


!! Rangiku Matsumoto
Rangiku is the first character Lelouch comes across during the series. She has known Lelouch the longest period. (He's lived longer in the Soul Society than when he was alive). Currently the Vice-Captain of Squad 10 [[spoiler: Under Lelouch himself no less]], though she still prefers to drink than do her work, Rangiku
Hitsugaya's diverse vocabulary proves herself ineffective when using an insult to tick him off.
* IShallTauntYou: Uses this
as a dedicated supporter of her allies and especially her captain.

* [[spoiler: CryCute: Rangiku breaks down into a heartbroken sobbing mess in chapter 61 because she has been trying
tactic to get Lelouch's attention, but he just shrugs her off and Yammy to fire a cero so Ukitake can deflect it hurts her]].
* GoingCommando: Pulls this once as a means of seducing Lelouch.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Inverted. She’s been trying to get Lelouch’s attention for the longest time now, but [[PlayingHardToGet he never seems to accept her advances]]. [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies Can you]] [[HurtingHero really]] [[DidNotGetTheGirl blame him]]?
* [[spoiler: PleaseDontLeaveMe: says this to Lelouch in one chapter]].
* [[spoiler: SexForSolace: Does this with Lelouch for her own shattered soul]].
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Lelouch’s reaction to seeing her in chapter 15 after not having seen her in nearly twenty years
* {{Stripperific}}: She wears the bare minimum in chapter 61 to seduce Lelouch.

!! Kukaku Shiba
Kaien's [[HairTriggerTemper irate younger sister]]. She is hostile towards Lelouch at first, but has come to be one of his biggest supporters in recent years (in-universe of course). After Isshin's banishment [[spoiler: since Kaien is the head of the Shiba clan, which is the main family of the Kurosaki clan, Kukaku is sent to prison for political reasons. Lelouch, [[TookALevelInBadass now a captain]], bails her out in exchange for having her join his squad. She complies and is currently a 6th seat under his command]]. [[spoiler: Her Zanpakuto is called Kyodai Bakudan]].

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Beats the shit out of Ichigo/Kaien whenver they question her/piss her off.
* BerserkButton: Has [[RuleOfThree three]]. Never say no to her, never treat her like she's easy, and you ''never'' tell her to shut up.
* CarFu: She drives a [[ImprobablyCoolCar 1960 Cadillac Convertible]]
right into the walls of [[spoiler: Las Noches]] so that she and the others can break inside.
* CombatPragmatist
* DrivesLikeCrazy
* HairTriggerTemper
* HavingABlast
* IWasBeatenByAGirl: Largely averted. If Kukaku beats your ass down, complaining will only result in a further dose of pain.
* MythologyGag: Lelouch isn’t the [[{{Crossover}} first]] [[TalesOfTheAbyss person]] Kukaku realizes CannotHoldHisLiquor
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While trying to [[spoiler: break Rukia out of prison]] Kukaku has a slip of the tongue and reveals that Kaien is trying to do the same thing.
* PowerFist: Obtains one when [[spoiler: she releases her Zanpakuto]].
* SirSwearsALot: And ''how!''
* WaveMotionGun: A power of [[spoiler: her Zanpakuto]].

The captain of Squad 11 before Zaraki's time.

* BrilliantButLazy: Not brilliant [[CurbStompBattle enough]].

The captain of Squad 11. [[ContinuityNod Wiped out his predecessor with a single swing]]. [[spoiler:His Zanpakuto is called Fumetsu Seishin no Senso (Indestructable Spirit of War)]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Kenpachi’s Zanpakuto lets him [[spoiler: increase his power the longer he fights to the point where he gains faux-meatallic skin with flaming eyes when he reaches level 5]]. His Zanpakuto is standardly weaker than Kenpachi. Without his eyepatch, Kenpachi [[spoiler: equals his Zanpakuto’s level 3 and his Zanpakuto can wipe the floor with Kenpachi at level 5. Kenpachi ever getting to level 5 is this trope. Most enemies would not last long enough for him to get to this point]].

Vice-Captain of Squad 4 after her predecessor was detained for insanity. [[SarcasmMode Having Unohana for a captain obviously had nothing to do with that]].

Head Captain of the Gotei 13. [[spoiler: His bankai is Ryujin Jakka Mugen Ikari]]. [[spoiler: [[WhamEpisode He is killed by Aizen and Nyra]]]].

Yamamoto's Vice-captain. [[spoiler: Dies in chapter 104 due to a fever and the lack of attention paid to him in-universe. Though it was helped by Yolanda killing his Zanpakuto [[MercyKill at Gonryomaru's request]]]]

* [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome Alternate Universe Sasakibe Chojiro Is Awesome]]: There's an omake called this and it does a damn good job of making an example of this trope.
* [[spoiler: TheBigSleep]]
* [[spoiler: MercyKill: At his Zanpakuto's request]]

!! Hisana Kuchiki
Byakuya's wife and Rukia's older sister. She is first seen in the series as a student in one of Lelouch's Kido classes alongside Gin and Byakuya. Before she [[spoiler: contracts a disease that would otherwise be fatal to her Lelouch reunites her with Rukia and Hisana continues to live rising higher and higher in rank. Currently she is the Captain of Squad 3. She was revealed to be pregnant just before going for the second battle and in one week after Hitsugaya's release from prison, she gave birth to twins Kyo and Isao.]] Her Zanpakuto is called Kaze no Irokoe. [[spoiler: Her Bankai is called Saigo no Chu no Kaze no Irokoe]]

* [[spoiler: ActionMom]]: As of chapter 94
* AnimalMotifs: A horned owl. [[spoiler: While in Bankai]].
* AscendedExtra
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: A good way to get your ass kicked is to harm or threaten Rukia]].
* BigGood: Assumes this role during the Reapers and Heralds arc because Yamamoto, Byakuya [[spoiler: and Lelouch]] are missing and the senior captains don’t seem to want to step up.
* [[spoiler: BrownNote: A notable effect of her Bankai]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Hisana gets a good amount over the course of the series [[spoiler: with regards to her relationship with Rukia. First she starts by smothering Rukia with her affection and trying to balance her affection towards Rukia and Byakuya. During the Eye of the Storm arc she realizes her mistake and simply becomes protective of Rukia]] but its during the training arc [[spoiler: when the marriage between Rukia and Kaien is finalized]] that Hisana ultimately [[spoiler: realizes that she has to let Rukia grow up and be her own person]].
* [[spoiler: DrivenToSuicide: Almost. Isane stopped her just in the nick of time]]
* FeminineWomenCanCook
* HappilyMarried: To Byakuya

** [[spoiler: Though it turns out they’re perfectly fine and Hisana snaps out of it after almost being DrivenToSuicide]]
* [[spoiler: [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]]]].
* LadyOfWar: Hisana is very graceful in battle, much like her husband compared to others like Unohana [[CombatPragmatist Kendra and Yolanda]] and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Naomi]].
* [[spoiler: MamaBear]]: If she’s [[spoiler: a KnightTemplarBigBrother towards Rukia]] you can expect she’ll be like this [[spoiler: towards her children]].
** Oh she is. Just ask [[spoiler: Kaze no Irokoe]]
* [[spoiler: MusicalAssassin]]
* [[spoiler: OminousLatinChanting: Is heard in-universe when Hisana activates her Bankai's ultimate form. If her opponent is considerably weak the music persists even after the transformation is complete]].

* [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings: In Bankai]]
* [[spoiler: RedEyesTakeWarning: When using her Bankai's ultimate form. The eyes on the bird hood she wears turn red]].
* [[spoiler: RedShirtArmy]]: Hisana's birds [[spoiler: from her Bankai]] are essentially this.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: [[spoiler: Captain of Squad 3]] and damn well proud of it. She's also one of the first to step up to the plate if there's trouble.
* StayInTheKitchen: Inverted with a literal use. Kaien actually tells Hisana to come out of the kitchen because [[FeminineWomenCanCook she spends so much time in there]]. Surprisingly Hisana enjoys it.
** Subverted in the Reapers and Heralds arc. Shunsui tells her she should be more concerned with [[spoiler: her children]] than fighting, but Hisana disagrees and explicitly states her reasons and the subject is dropped.
* [[spoiler: ThemeMusicPowerUp: Her Bankai can do this in the form of OminousLatinChanting '''''in-universe''''']].
** [[spoiler: She also apparently has a technique that powers up her allies. Once again the music is heard in-universe]].
* ThirdTimesTheCharm: [[spoiler: When using the technique that activates her Bankai's SuperMode it works for the first time on the third try]].
* TribalFacePaint: Gets this with [[spoiler: her bankai]].
* WhipItGood: The shikai of her Zanpakuto.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes?: Hisana hates bugs. So naturally, during [[spoiler: the Karakura Arc, she fights an arrancar with an insect theme.]]
* YamatoNadeshiko: Byakuya even calls her this.

!! Izuru Kira
Vice-captain of Squad 3 and also a student of Lelouch's.

* ActorAllusion: In chapter 78, saying that he believes in the path he’s chosen makes it seem like Izuru is about to whack Victor with a [[SoulSeries bo-staff]]

!! [[spoiler:Captain-Commander]] Retsu Unohana
Captain of Squad 4 [[spoiler:now the NEW Captain of Squad 1]] and both a terror and a mother to her allies, a nightmare to her foes. [[spoiler:Her Bankai is Minazuki Zenmetsu ([[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Purify the Flesh by Total Eradication]]).]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Yeah, there’s a reason she is the second longest running captain.
* [[spoiler: AxCrazy]]: Used to be this
* [[spoiler: BadassInDistress: As of Aizen's Revenge arc.]]
* [[spoiler: BloodKnight]]: Used to be this too. Along with [[spoiler: BloodLust]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: She’s expels a lot of reiatsu during the [[spoiler: second]] battle of Karakura Town due to [[spoiler: using her Bankai and]] healing a bunch of people, but she is confident that she can, along with Shunsui, Ukitake, Byakuya and Tessai, defeat Ulquiorra.
* CovertPervert: If the omakes are to be believed, Unohana rather enjoyed the time the Shinigami Women's Association walked in on Lelouch, Ukitake, and Byakuya watching "Adventures Up The Ass III: The Marathon."
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In spades. [[spoiler: She was originally a Rukongai serial killer, but a visit from Rita and a show of where she would wind up and how she could not go there changed her to be a more beneficial individual. Of course, at first, this didn’t stop her BloodKnight tendencies. It was after she lost someone very important to her that she stopped being AxCrazy and has spent her entire life [[TheAtoner changing herself and making something better of herself]]]]. It appears she seems to bury it all, but the tendencies are still there, but now she can control it.
* [[spoiler: EyesDoNotBelongThere: There are eyes on her wings courtesy of her Bankai’s ultimate form]]
* {{Fanservice}}: Unohana wearing nothing on her top except her bra during her battle with [[spoiler: Minazuki]]
** [[{{Fandisservice}} Until she gets coverd in blood]]
*** [[FetishFuel Your mileage]] [[YourMileageMayVary may vary]]
* {{Flanderization}}: In canon, Unohana is benevolent, but if she smiles everyone falls in line. In the fic, her mere presence frightens those around her.
* FourIsDeath: She’s the fourth person to fight Spargga. [[CurbStompBattle The end result is not pretty]].
* [[spoiler: HeelRealization]]: If her DarkAndTroubledPast was anything to go by, Unohana stopped [[spoiler: creatively killing people]] because she didn't [[spoiler: like the atmosphere in hell]] and didn't want to go there.
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Breaks down when she’s forced to act like an AxCrazy BloodKnight again]]
* {{Irony}}: Unohana became the captain of the medical division, despite her [[spoiler: DarkAndTroubledPast]]
* [[spoiler: LaughingMad]]: She is awfully happy when she’s shown in the past butchering hollows [[spoiler: and people]].
* LetsGetDangerous: If she undoes her braid it's a sign that she's taking the fight seriously. To prove a point Her fight against [[spoiler: Ichigo's hollow form]] has her doing this. This action is absent in her fight with Spargga. Despite the fact that she [[spoiler: used Bankai]] on the latter, keep in mind which battle was a CurbStompBattle.
* [[spoiler: LickingTheBlade]]: Does this in a flashback. And it's creepy.
* MadeOfIron: Ichigo[[spoiler:'s half-hollow form ripped Ulquiorra to shreds. She survived an encounter with it]].
** [[spoiler: One of the lines put it nicely “A normal captain would’ve had their back torn in half”]]
** [[spoiler: She didn't just "survive it". She, technically, won against it by knocking Ichigo out of it. This woman is scary]]
* MagicKnight: Never seen more prominent than with her battle against [[spoiler: Ichigo’s half-hollow hybrid form]].
* MartialPacifist: [[{{Understatement}} Excessively]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast justified]].
* [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings: her Bankai’s ultimate form]]
* RapeAsComedy: There's a hilarious omake incident between her and Isane.
* [[spoiler: ReformedCriminal]]
* [[spoiler: SlasherSmile]]: Used to sport this
* StepfordSmiler: If what Spargga said is to be taken at face value Unohana is possibly a Type C or perhaps used to actually be an AxCrazy BloodKnight and very very {{Yangire}} and TookALevelInKindness and buried the tendencies. WordOfGod has not commented on this yet.
** Confirmed with the events of chapter 94 and also apparently has shades of type B as well. There is a lot she is hiding behind that smile.
* [[spoiler: TheAtoner]]
* TookALevelInKindness: A la {{Backstory}}.
* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Had one of these. Be bizarre if she herself had been one. [[{{Understatement}} Of course things did not end well there]].
* [[spoiler: UnexpectedSuccessor: The NEW Captain of Squad One, by Rita herself.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Inverted. [[spoiler: Unohana was fracking [[AxCrazy nuts]] when she was young]].

!! Isane Kotetsu
Vice-Captain of Squad 4 after her predecessor was detained for insanity. [[SarcasmMode Having Unohana for a captain obviously had nothing to do with that]]. Isane has shown her...interest and shyness around Lelouch and has become somewhat of a personal nurse for him whenever he's been injured and sent to her squad. [[spoiler:She is also a member of the House of Lamperouge.]]

* CooldownHug: To [[spoiler: Unohana]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Is now this for [[spoiler: Yuna/Lelouch]]
* [[spoiler: YouWouldntShootMe]]: A non-dramatic, and more heartwarming version and with a sword. During [[spoiler: Unohana’s HeroicBSOD, Isane tells Unohana she knows Unohana won’t hurt her and defiantly walks towards her and gives her a CoolDownHug]]

!! Toshiro Hitsugaya
The young child prodigy of {{Bleach}} makes his appearance very late in the first portion of the series, changing his destiny greatly. [[spoiler: he does not become a captain until after Aizen's defection and is instead Captain of Squad 5 rather than Squad 10]].

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: This is what leads him to get [[spoiler: ArrestedForHeroism]] and sets of the chain link of events that make up the Lelouch and the Law arc.
* AscendedFanboy: Openly supports the phantoms when he starts out as a Soul Reaper in training and eventually becomes one.
* EleventhHourRanger: By the time he enters the phantoms, there's not much of the story before their final mission.
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has one when he discovers Lelouch is Zero and Momo is Phantom Violet]].
** Another one came when [[spoiler:he was imprisoned for two years and stripped from his role as Captain by Central Forty-Six on account of [[ArrestedForHeroism QUESTIONABLE MISDEMEANORS AT BEST]].]]
* InsultBackfire: [[DumbMuscle Yammy]] is so [[TheDitz stupid]] that Hitsugaya's diverse vocabulary proves ineffective when using an insult to tick him off.
* IShallTauntYou: Uses this as a tactic to get Yammy to fire a cero so Ukitake can deflect it right back.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His plan to have Ukitake cero Yammy in the face knocks the big guy down, only for him to go into his enraged form.

!! Momo Hinamori
Vice-captain of Squad 5 and a student of Lelouch's Kido class. Under our protagonist's guidance Momo has [[DarkerAndEdgier changed]] [[CorruptTheCutie quite a bit]] from her [[{{Moe}} Canon]] [[WideEyedIdealist self]]

* [[spoiler: BewareTheNiceOnes]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Momo has become much more independent and confident than in canon. One could even call her a [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism less cynic]] version of Lelouch.
* [[spoiler: CorruptTheCutie: Courtesy of Lelouch]].
* [[spoiler: DarkerAndEdgier]]
* [[spoiler: ExpositoryHairstyleChange: After becoming DarkerAndEdgier Momo removes the bun from her hair and just lets her hair flow down around her shoulders]].
* [[spoiler: FriendOrIdolDecision: ZigZagged all over the place. Lelouch is the friend. Aizen is the idol. At first it looks like Lelouch has Momo on his side, but this subverted when Momo doesn't know who to choose after [[TheStationsOfTheCanon Aizen fakes his death]] and doesn't believe if Aizen is really evil. Of course, once Aizen is revealed to be alive after all, Momo [[GoMadFromTheRevelation loses it]] and fights Aizen when she sees him Central Forty Six]].
* [[spoiler:GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Delivered this to Lelouch when he is sleep deprived in planing the downfall of Central Forty-Six and [[AttemptedRape was about to rape her]].]]
* [[spoiler: GoMadFromTheRevelation: Despite Lelouch's plans this happened to her anyway. At least she didn't get stabbed through the chest this time]].
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has one when she helps Lelouch and the Phantoms murder the Atrumier family]].
* InSpiteOfANail: Momo’s Zanpakuto still leaves her only this time it’s because [[spoiler: Momo isn’t as [[DarkerAndEdgier dark and edgy]] as she was during the Phantoms of Justice arc]]
* [[spoiler: LovesMyAlterEgo: Hitsugaya's favorite phantom is Fantomu Baioretto]].
** [[spoiler: Now that he knows Momo's identity and [[AscendedFanboy became a phantom himself]] what does this mean for their relationship]]?
* MythologyGag: Chapter 74 [[{{Fanfiction}} is not]] [[{{Crossover}}the first time]] the author [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia has had]] [[{{Bleach}} Momo]] sing [[GreenDay Wake Me Up When September Ends]].
* RescueRomance: By intervening and saving her and her classmates rather than Aizen, Lelouch became the target of Momo's affection as well.
* ThisIsSparta: From chapter 91 as she is bringing the pain to two adjuchas "Leave! My Squad! Alone!"
* TookALevelInBadass: Despite everything above one word from her SCREAMS THIS. [[spoiler:Bankai.]]

!! [[spoiler:Chief Prosecutor]] Byakuya Kuchiki
Captain of Squad 6 and head of the famous Kuchiki clan, but the first time we see Byakuya he is but a child and Lelouch actually teaches him a private lesson in Kido, under Yoruichi's supervision. As a child, Lelouch was something of an idol to him. As an adult, he continues to be one of Lelouch's strongest supporters.

* BerserkButton: In canon this is listed as "Emotion Showing Button" [[TheStoic with]] [[{{Kuudere}} good]] [[TranquilFury reason]]. In Soul Chess this trope is played much more direct when [[spoiler: Talbumosuke cuts down Hisana]]. Byakuya [[UnstoppableRage lost it]]
* HappilyMarried: To Hisana[[spoiler:, and is now a father of twins Kyo and Isao.]]
* [[spoiler: HotDad]]: You could make an argument for this as of chapter 94.
* IncrediblyLamePun: After Hisana uses her [[LightTheWay Chant of Light]] against [[spoiler: Koga]] Byakuya tells her "that was brilliant".
* [[spoiler: KillTheOnesYouLove: In order to get on Muramasa’s good side he has to kill his children]].
* [[spoiler: PapaWolf]]: Guaranteed as of ch 94. [[spoiler: And shown in chapter 123. See ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight below]]
* [[spoiler: ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight]]: Uses [[spoiler: Forbidden kido]] to [[spoiler: [[PapaWolf protect his children]] by using spatial displacement kido (the same type that got Tessai in trouble)]].
--> '''Byakuya:''' [[spoiler: In times of crisis some laws have to be broken]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[BreakTheCutie then]] [[DespairEventHorizon shit]] [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids happened]].
* [[spoiler: WhatTheHellHero: Hisana really lays into him for defecting to Muramasa. It's not like she knows it's an act. [[KillTheOnesYouLove It would get worse.]]]]
** [[spoiler: She follows up on it later when she realizes its all an act and asked Byakuya why he couldn't trust her. Cue CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming]].
* YouRemindMeOfX: Lelouch tells Byakuya he reminds him of Suzaku.

!! Renji Abarai
The [[ButtMonkey butt of all of]] [[CosmicPlaything the author's jokes]] when he needs someone to suffer hilarious amounts pain, suffering or just to be the [[IncrediblyLamePun Punch]]line. Renji does eventually manage to get the recognition of Squad 6 Vice-captain he deserves, but that doesn't stop the author from stealing his dignity every now and then. Renji was, [[OldShame much to Lelouch's chagrin for his lack of ability]], one of Lelouch's Kido students.

* BerserkButton: Due to events that have happened in this universe, Renji has developed one for being called weak.
* DemotedToExtra: You would be forgiven for thinking that he had died at some point early in the plot.
** He ''is'' in the group of reinforcements sent to Karakura, but hasn't done anything significant yet.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as of recent events. [[spoiler:He was able to successfully defend himself during the Battle of Karakura Town and is one of the three Lieutenants (Kaien and Yuna are the other two) going into the Final Battle.]]
*** He's also starting to get a larger role lately so the author hasn't completely forgotten about him it seems.
* [[spoiler: DidNotGetTheGirl: See UnluckyChildhoodFriend below]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: An actual good an honest literal example of this trope. Renji actually punches Zabimaru in the face, while it’s using Bankai and it helps him win. Yeah you know the red tufted part of Renji’s Bankai. He punched that. [[spoiler: Kaien]] lampshades it.
* {{Flanderization}}: In canon Renji is notirously known for being both a ButtMonkey and a victim of BadassDecay. In the fic it reaches a point where, if someone needs to be made the butt of a joke, expect Renji to be the victim or if Renji fights, don't expect him to win or put up that much of a fight.
** Seems to be getting subverted as of late with his TrainingFromHell and [[TookALevelInBadass extra level in badass]].
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has some rather hilarious ones when he learns that Kaien is going to marry Rukia and that the marriage is finalized]].
* OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler: Kaien and Hisana]] specifically. He's gotten his own moments though.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Is actually useful and essential to [[spoiler: Mia’s final defeat]].
* TookALevelInBadass: In the [[spoiler: second]] battle of Karakura Town, Kaien is getting the crap kicked out of him by Mia[[spoiler: ‘s Segunda Etapa]] Renji attacks her with Hikotsu Taiho and sends her flying. Yeah that’s right, the ButtMonkey always [[TheWorfEffect worfed]] red haired lieutenant just sent a [[spoiler: Segunda Etapa]] Espada flying. He even did a decent amount of damage.
* TrainingFromHell: Invokes this on himself in order to [[TookALevelInBadass Take a Level In Badass]] since he realizes he’s one of the weaker fighters in the [[spoiler: second battle of the]] war [[spoiler: with Talbumosuke]]
* [[spoiler: UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Becomes this when Rukia marries Kaien]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Gave one to [[spoiler:Kaien to let him know that he is not on his own in fighting Mia]].
* WhoIsThisGuyAgain: The [[DemotedToExtra demotion]] is so bad that Ichigo barely knows who he is now and HE CAN'T STAND IT!!!

!! Sajin Komamura
The canine Captain of Squad 7. [[spoiler: He is killed in the second battle of Karakura Town by Spargga]].

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]

!! Tetsuzaemon Iba
The [[RatedMForManly manly]] Vice-Captain of Squad 7. [[spoiler: Fired by Yuna Homura for disrespecting her when she is given the status of 7th Squad Captain. He is replaced by Susanna Shapikni]].

* PrecisionFStrike: While fighting Allon
--> That thing just [[TheWorfEffect threw one of my squad’s former prominent fighters into the dirt without doing much of anything]]. Fuck this! We can’t beat that thing!

!! Shunsui Kyoraku
The laid back senior captain of Squad 8

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Reveals this to Uryu after a dangerous drinking game.
* WhatTheHellHero: He expected this from Lisa because [[spoiler: Nanao died]], [[AvertedTrope but it didn’t happen]].

!! Nanao Ise
The pushy, upstart vice-captain of Squad 8. [[spoiler:Killed by Loly in a very BRUTAL [[CruelAndUnusualDeath way]].]]. Her Zanpakuto in this series is Fukuro.

* DualWielding: Her Shikai is two small dagger blades.
* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: Makes a habit of this because enemies don't expect it.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* TheArcher: Part of her Zanpakuto.
** TrickArrow: She can alter the trajectory of the shots she fires

!! Ashido Kano
A veteran Soul Reaper who was trapped in the Menos Forest for over three centuries. He was the 4th seat of Lelouch's original Captain, Akari Mari. He is encountered by Hitsugaya and Momo during a trip into the Menos Forest during the Lelouch and the Law arc and returns with them and is welcomed back to the Gotei with very little fuss. Considering the man spent a long time fighting for his life against a shit ton of menos and other hollows and was never actually declared deceased it's easy to understand that his return is easier to recognize and accept for the Central Forty Six than say [[spoiler: Homura Yuna]]. He is made as [[spoiler: Shunsui's vice-captain]] as it is the only senior officer position open at the time of his return.

* AscendedExtra
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Naomi says she learned it from him so obviously he’s this too.
* OldSoldier: Considering the hell he's probably been through and isn't the least bit overwhelmed by everything or exemplifying the traits of a ShellShockedVeteran he definitely qualifies here. Of course he seems a lot softer of an individual than the usual portrayal of this trope.
* ZenSurvivor

!! Kaname Tosen
The Captain of Squad 9. [[spoiler: Tosen was Aizen's subordinate, but Lelouch managed to convince him to make a HeelFaceTurn and betray Aizen]]. Tosen, even while on Aizen's side, can tell that Lelouch has a strong sense of Justice.

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: Lelouch convinces him to turn to [[spoiler: betray Aizen]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD]]: In the aftermath of the Battle of Karakura Town arcs. [[spoiler:He lost both his student and his best friend. It was bad enough that he consider resigning himself as captain until Lelouch intervened.]]
* [[spoiler: ReverseMole]]: His role [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn.]]
* [[spoiler: SixthRanger]]: to the phantoms.

!! Shuhei Hisagi
The CovertPervert Vice-captain of Squad 9. Shuhei was also one of Lelouch's students while at the academy, but only during his final year. [[spoiler:Killed by a Cero from Gloria.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

!! Gin Ichimaru
Though originally a "friend" of Lelouch's Gin is still the MagnificentBastard WildCard everyone knows him to be. Even [[spoiler: after Talbumosuke's death, when Lelouch convinces the Central Forty Six to consider Gin a FakeDefector and Gin is reinstated into the Gotei as the Vice-captain of Squad 9 to replace Hisagi he remains this way.]]

* [[spoiler: AntiHero: Type IV with shades of Type V definitely]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Easily defeats his own Zanpakuto in the Reapers and Heralds arc.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To Lelouch. Though he’s not quite as intelligent [[spoiler: the fact that Hisana considers him to be the best the Gotei has at coming up with a plan during the Reapers and Heralds arc]] and considering Gin’s other actions it definitely qualifies him for this.
* [[spoiler: FakeDefector: Debatable as to whether or not Gin himself is one, but Lelouch makes him out to be one to the Central Forty Six. But then again he really does care about Rangiku, so it is possible he is entirely this. He's lucky Lelouch spoke in his defense]].
* [[spoiler: GoodIsNotNice: Good in only the sense of the fact that he’s once again affiliated with the Soul Society. Rangiku [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it]]]]
* [[spoiler: IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy]]: In chapter 61 he says that [[spoiler: if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku]].
* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: Gin isn’t getting any retribution, verbal or otherwise, for killing Hachigen. The Soul Society, of course, since Hachigen is just an extra hand and was written off in the records as KIA, will not lay a hand on him, but it’s amazing that Shinji or one of the other Visoreds haven’t given Lelouch [[WhatTheHellHero a good scolding]].]]
** It’s possible they don’t know that he [[spoiler: was set loose as Tosen’s replacement Vice-captain for Hisagi]]
* OutGambitted: He comes up with a cunning plan during the [[spoiler: Reapers and Heralds arc]], and it is a very good one at that. Unfortunately [[spoiler: Eien Tamashi and Lelouch]] were one step ahead of that.
* RapeAsComedy: Invoked in the omake chapter 74.03 (the omake for ch 82)
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Gin flat out says the key phrase “I grew up” to [[spoiler: his Zanpakuto]]
* [[spoiler: TakeThat: Invoked by the author at what [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Gin did to Aizen]] in canon replicated with Talbumosuke here, only it works]].
* [[spoiler: WhatTheHellHero: Rangiku gives him a big one, including slapping him. Gin even denotes that he’d prefer she’d have [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Run him through with Haineko]] coming from a man who enjoys psychological torture and killed Hachigen in cold blood in Soul Chess, not to mention all of his actions in canon, this says something]].


!! Rangiku Matsumoto
Rangiku is the first character Lelouch comes across during the series. She has known Lelouch the longest period. (He's lived longer in the Soul Society than when he was alive). Currently the Vice-Captain of Squad 10 [[spoiler: Under Lelouch himself no less]], though she still prefers to drink than do her work, Rangiku proves herself as a dedicated supporter of her allies and especially her captain.

* [[spoiler: CryCute: Rangiku breaks down into a heartbroken sobbing mess in chapter 61 because she has been trying to get Lelouch's attention, but he just shrugs her off and it hurts her]].
* GoingCommando: Pulls this once as a means of seducing Lelouch.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Inverted. She’s been trying to get Lelouch’s attention for the longest time now, but [[PlayingHardToGet he never seems to accept her advances]]. [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies Can you]] [[HurtingHero really]] [[DidNotGetTheGirl blame him]]?
* [[spoiler: PleaseDontLeaveMe: says this to Lelouch in one chapter]].
* [[spoiler: SexForSolace: Does this with Lelouch for her own shattered soul]].
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Lelouch’s reaction to seeing her in chapter 15 after not having seen her in nearly twenty years
* {{Stripperific}}: She wears the bare minimum in chapter 61 to seduce Lelouch.
* [[spoiler: UnluckyBustyGirl: Was this towards Lelouch until chapter 61 and even then is NOT part of the [[TheClan House of Lamperouge]]]].

!! Kukaku Shiba
Kaien's [[HairTriggerTemper irate younger sister]]. She is hostile towards Lelouch at first, but has come to be one of his biggest supporters in recent years (in-universe of course). After Isshin's banishment [[spoiler: since Kaien is the head of the Shiba clan, which is the main family of the Kurosaki clan, Kukaku is sent to prison for political reasons. Lelouch, [[TookALevelInBadass now a captain]], bails her out in exchange for having her join his squad. She complies and is currently a 6th seat under his command]]. [[spoiler: Her Zanpakuto is called Kyodai Bakudan]].

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Beats the shit out of Ichigo/Kaien whenver they question her/piss her off.
* BerserkButton: Has [[RuleOfThree three]]. Never say no to her, never treat her like she's easy, and you ''never'' tell her to shut up.
* CarFu: She drives a [[ImprobablyCoolCar 1960 Cadillac Convertible]] right into the walls of [[spoiler: Las Noches]] so that she and the others can break inside.
* CombatPragmatist
* DrivesLikeCrazy
* HairTriggerTemper
* HavingABlast
* IWasBeatenByAGirl: Largely averted. If Kukaku beats your ass down, complaining will only result in a further dose of pain.
* MythologyGag: Lelouch isn’t the [[{{Crossover}} first]] [[TalesOfTheAbyss person]] Kukaku realizes CannotHoldHisLiquor
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While trying to [[spoiler: break Rukia out of prison]] Kukaku has a slip of the tongue and reveals that Kaien is trying to do the same thing.
* PowerFist: Obtains one when [[spoiler: she releases her Zanpakuto]].
* SirSwearsALot: And ''how!''
* WaveMotionGun: A power of [[spoiler: her Zanpakuto]].
* WillfullyWeak: Despite the fact that she could quite easily reach 3rd seat in [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Eleventh Division]]. Kukaku is perfectly complacent in Tenth Division under [[spoiler: Lelouch]].

!! Kenpachi Kiganjo
The captain of Squad 11 before Zaraki's time.

* BrilliantButLazy: Not brilliant [[CurbStompBattle enough]].
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Let Zaraki talk smack and do as he pleased in his squad, but when Yachiru peed on the statue of the first Kenpachi he went nuts.

!! Kenpachi Zaraki
The captain of Squad 11. [[ContinuityNod Wiped out his predecessor with a single swing]]. [[spoiler:His Zanpakuto is called Fumetsu Seishin no Senso (Indestructable Spirit of War)]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Kenpachi’s Zanpakuto lets him [[spoiler: increase his power the longer he fights to the point where he gains faux-meatallic skin with flaming eyes when he reaches level 5]]. His Zanpakuto is standardly weaker than Kenpachi. Without his eyepatch, Kenpachi [[spoiler: equals his Zanpakuto’s level 3 and his Zanpakuto can wipe the floor with Kenpachi at level 5. Kenpachi ever getting to level 5 is this trope. Most enemies woul not last long enough for him to get to this point]].
* BadassBoast: “I’m Zaraki Kenpachi and I never quit”
** Kenpachi repeats said boast after [[spoiler: Ichigo snaps him out of his HeroicBSOD]]
* FoeYay: With Nelliel
* HeartbrokenBadass: If it is indeed true that he and [[spoiler: the original Yachiru]] were more than friends. He qualifies for this
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Suffers this after his Zanpakuto beats him]]
* [[spoiler: ItsPersonal: The main reason for limiting Ichigo's role in fighting Vanguard.]]
* MemeticBadass: The omake of ch 82 turns him into this
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: [[spoiler: His battle against Vanguard]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ichigo takes note of the fact that Kenpachi [[spoiler: [[HeroicBSOD is in some serious funk]] by the fact that Kenpachi isn’t jumping at the chance to challenge him to a battle]].
* TakeUpMySword: Outright defied in [[spoiler: his backstory. Kensei asks him if he was going to do this for Hekira Yachiru, but Kenpachi simply responds he’s not strong enough to do so and leaves. Presumably to get stronger]].
* [[spoiler: TookALevelInBadass: Finally learns the name of his Zanpakuto.]]

!! Yachiru Kusajishi
The child looking Vice-captain of Squad 11. She calls Lelouch by his in-universe nickname Lulu. Her Zanpakuto is called Okotte Kemono

* [[spoiler: BreakTheCutie]]: In more of a literal sense as [[spoiler: her Zanpakuto [[CurbstompBattle beats her to a mess]]]] and it leaves Yachiru heartbroken [[spoiler: as well as severely injured.]]
* [[spoiler: CutlassBetweenTheTeeth]]: How she fights with Shikai
* RedBaron: Pink Terror

!! Ikkaku Madarame
The HotBlooded battle hungry 3rd seat of Squad 11. [[spoiler: He is killed in the Battle of Karakura Town by Karrthus Darigaaz]].

!! Mayuri Kurotsuchi
The twisted successor over the Department of Research and Development to Kisuke Urahara. [[spoiler: Killed off by Nyra.]]

* [[spoiler: FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Oh yes indeed]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: By Nyra]]

!! Nemu Kurotsuchi
Mayuri's "daughter" and surrogate sibling of Lelouch as he is the one who teaches her how to live in Mayuri's place for the captain is far too busy with other things to waste his time with such menial activities. She is one of Lelouch's biggest moral supporters. [[spoiler: She also takes Lelouch's virginity]]. [[spoiler: She became Lelouch's girlfriend for a time. He then broke up with her [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies to protect her]], but the two have recently gotten back together and is also a member of the House of Lamperouge]].

* LimitBreak: His Bankai [[spoiler: when it stores up 19 attacks and then stores up a 20th fires back all the power it absorbs right back at the opponent]].
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Gives one to Ginjo as part of the man’s backstory.

!! Kaien Shiba
The [[spoiler: still alive]] Vice-Captain of Squad 13. [[spoiler: In the face of Metastacia, Lelouch's interference allowed Kaien to survive the encounter and avenge Miyako's death]].

* AscendedExtra
* BloodKnight: He seems like this when [[spoiler: Ichigo]] releases his true power, but WordOfGod says that it's actually his pride that makes him so elated, since he hates it when his opponents hold back.
* BerserkButton: Do not defile Miyako's honor or memory in front of him. You'll regret it.
** Due to this, [[spoiler: Mia]] has sort of become a living BerserkButton for him
* HandicappedBadass: Temporarily. While [[spoiler: trying to rescue Rukia]] Kaien loses the use of one of his arms and since Nejibana is a two-handed Zanpakuto and he still manages to hold his own, he qualifies for this trope
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has one when he realizes Miyako is a part of Mia]].
* HonorBeforeReason
* [[spoiler: IWillProtectHer]]: Has taken up this mentality towards [[spoiler: Rukia]]. [[spoiler: He's even set up to marry her]].
