--->[[spoiler:“I suggest ya move before I make ya. Trust me, ya won’t like the latter option,” he drawled. It stared at him for another moment, some unreadable emotion flickering through its eyes for the briefest second. Then it blinked and its expression returned to its usual deference.]]\\

[[spoiler:“What do ya think you’re doing?” He called out sharply.]]\\
[[spoiler:“Moving, Ichimaru-san,” it replied without looking back. Gin watched its departing figure, tilting his head in thought.

--> '''Gin:''' So fragile.\\
'''[[spoiler:Rukia]]:''' She’s not weak.\\
'''Gin:''' Never said she was. You can be the strongest person in the world, and still be fragile. With a person like [[spoiler:Hisana]], if ya wanna break them, ya don’t face them head on. It’s like breaking tempered glass. You find their weak points, apply just a bit of pressure, and you wait for them to shatter. Luckily, a soul is more flexible than glass. They’re malleable, susceptible to change. To toughen them, all you have to do find the weak spots in a person’s life and remove them. Either by ironing them out so that they’re as strong as the rest of the soul or, if need be, by cutting them out entirely. Either way, any weaknesses should be eliminated. Don’t you agree, [[spoiler:Rukia-chan]]?\\

* NauseaFuel: Upon finding Tsukuda Ayame crying after being harassed into making cake for a patient, Hisana takes over and makes him a cake that looks like him but bleeding from every orifice and makes a wet squelching sound when Hisana cuts into it.

** The tranquilizer incident that had Iemura actually ban Hisana from having Gin as her patient.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The story revolved around Hisana and her growth from a Rukongai urchin to a Shinigami, and followed her as she made friends and allies in each Division as well as enemies while working to make things better for her friends and family.

--> '''Hisana:''' I must be stupid then, because I don’t. I really, really don’t. For some unfathomable reason, you seem to think that our job is easy, that we’re replaceable—worthless—and that you can treat us like shit because of it. But someday, maybe tomorrow, maybe a century in the future, you’re going to get hurt. You’re going to get hurt really badly, and you’re going to feel yourself bleeding out, and as you suffer in agony trying to keep your innards from falling out, the only thing keeping you from certain death will be a Fourth Division member…and chances are, it’ll be someone you spat on in the past. And unless they’re a freaking saint, they’ll remember every single time you made them feel like something less than human, and when you need them the most… well… Please, help me understand, because I’m just not getting it. What could you possibly gain from disrespecting those charged with keeping you alive?

---> '''Hisana:''' Avoided, Iemura-senpai? How? By bending your neck like always, letting them walk over you? How is that supposed to help? I know that the Fourth Division isn’t a combat squad, but ''fuck'' if I’m going to let people treat me like dirt because of that. And don’t give me that crap about ‘doing our duty’ or ‘maintaining a respectful professionalism’, because there is a difference between being doing your job and letting someone degrade you, and this entire squad does the latter, and it’s ''pathetic!'' I get that the world isn’t fair, I’m not stupid. It’s impossible to get everyone’s respect and there are always going to be people who are bastards to you no matter what you do, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not wrong, or that you should just accept it! But that’s what you’re doing, isn’t it? Every time you bow your head, or go along with the flow because it’s the ‘easy way out’ and let them get away with it, you’re telling them that they’re right. That it’s okay for them to treat you this way. Maybe you have your own way of doing things, but me? I refuse to give anyone permission to disrespect me.
** Finding out the circumstances as to why Hisana was [[spoiler:in need of rescue]], Gin seems to take offense.
---> '''Gin:''' Let me guess what happened. Seein’ as I found Hisana-chan [[spoiler:several hundred meters away from everyone else fightin’ a group of hollows on her own, and I ''know'' she ain’t stupid enough to wander off by herself for no good reason]], I’m gonna say that Tsutsui-kun here decided tha’ this was the perfect opportunity to show off and maybe gain a bit of glory for himself. Only he found himself a bit in over his head and so Hisana-chan had ta bail him out. And in repayment for her [[spoiler:savin’ his life, he decided to turn tail and run like the coward he is, leavin’ her behind to hold the hollows off]]. Is that right, Tsutsui-kun?\\
'''Tsutsui:''' That ain’t true! [[spoiler:I didn’t leave her behind]]—not on purpose, at least! I thought she was right behind me the whole time! And you’re being unfair, I…I [[spoiler:didn’t go after those hollows because I was ''stupid,'' they were gonna reach us any minute anyway and you guys were taking your sweet time coming here, so I thought I’d head out and hold them off…and yeah, Hi—I mean, Yukimura-san may have helped me out, and…okay, she may have gotten hurt, but she seems to be fine now]] and besides, I didn’t ''mean'' to! And who do you think you are, addressing her so familiarly anyway?!\\
'''Gin:''' Oh, this is precious. It all makes so much more sense now. Not that I blame you—Hisana-chan is quite a catch, after all. Kind, skilled, patient enough ta put up with ya imbecilic ramblin’; ya must have been ecstatic ta [[spoiler:come along on this mission. And what better way to impress the pretty healer than ta prove your worth by showin’ her yer strong enough ta protect her?]]\\
'''Tsutsui:''' I—that’s not tr--\\
'''Gin:''' Funny how things turn out, huh? Not only did ya fail ta be the hero, but ya also [[spoiler:almost got yer crush killed by attempting ta do so.]] I’ll need ta tell Hirako-taicho ta do a better job screenin’ the new applicants, because the last time I checked, the Fifth wasn’t a place for brainless, pathetic ''worms'' to cower in, hidin’ their weaknesses behind delusions of grandeur. Tell me, because I’m dyin’ ta know…how does it feel, as a warrior, [[spoiler:ta need a healer ta rescue you? Not only a healer, but an ''Academy student?'']]\\
'''Tsutsui:''' Wha—what are you talking about? [[spoiler:Yukimura’s not…Yukimura’s not an Academy student. She’s got a zanpakuto and everything, and she’s part of the Fourth.]]\\
'''Gin:''' Ah yes, [[spoiler:the Fourth’s newest intern. Unohana-taicho was very quick to snatch her up—a masterful move, I must admit.]] Lookin’ at her now, you’d hardly think she only had around three months of trainin’ under her, would ya? Which is why I’d have been rather upset if ya got her killed—students with potential are so hard ta come by these days.\\
'''Tsutsui:''' A… ''first year?''\\
'''Gin:''' Do be more careful next time, okay, Tsutsui-kun? Wouldn’t want a repeat of this incident—flirtin’ with students, then [[spoiler:almost gettin’ them killed in the field after dependin’ on them ta cover for you…]] why, that kinda thing would leave a black mark on anyone’s record. Such a shame… and I’d heard such good things about your family too. What would they think?

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gin is especially fond of these.

* SadisticChoice: Akiyama gives Hisana a choice of helping him with keeping his captive Shinigami alive willingly for him to torture further, or having him target her family to have her cooperate.

* SheCleansUpNicely: While Hisana is by no means unattractive, when she is dressed up in formal wear by the end of chapter 25, Byakuya finds that there is something almost ethereally beautiful about her and doubts that even the most critical of his clan elders could find anything wrong with her appearance.

* SoProudOfYou: Kaori is proud of Hisanas smiles for dealing with bothersome patients, Yoruichi is proud of Soi-Fon and Byakuya, and Hisana expresses how proud she is of Hanataro, Miwa, and Rukia. And Unohana, to Hisana...

* SternTeacher: Grumpy-face, [[spoiler:aka Niijima.]]

* TeamMom: Kazuki takes this role after [[spoiler:Tatsuya dies]], and Hisana often plays this role to those around her. [[spoiler:Shinji unwillingly becomes this to the Visored after their escape.]]
