9	[[folder:Captain-Commander Ganryusai Yamamoto]]
10	->''"I think you should draw your swords you should, before I burn you to a crispy toasty crispy toast!"''
11
12	->'''Voiced by:''' Logan Laidlaw
13	----
14	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. He's still a LawfulStupid TriggerHappy jerk at times, but it's more due to being a ScatterbrainedSenior, and he ''can'' be nicer and more cordial, even willing to offer a pardon to Kusaka upon first confronting him. This is attributed to Ichigo's influence bringing out the best in him.
15	* AlterKocker: He has a ''comically'' Yiddish accent and slips in the occasional word, plus he's old as sin.
16	* AwesomenessIsAForce: He overwhelms Nanao's brain with the sheer force of how [[HeroicBuild completely ripped]] he is.
17	* LawfulStupid: He operates on a strict adherence to the rules set down by Central 46, even though they're both outdated at best and fascist at worst. Ichigo's influence is helping him overcome it, but it's a work in progress.
18	* OldMaster: Make no mistake, this man is simultaneously quite old, and the strongest that Soul Society has to offer. Too bad he happens off his rocker as well.
19	* PlayingWithFire: His Zanpakutō's ability, which he will quickly remind anyone who mouths off to him.
20	* ScatterbrainedSenior: Oh my, yes. Soul Society's highest authority is a senile old man who can't remember what he said five seconds ago and is quick to resort to setting people on fire if he's in a bad mood.
21	* TriggerHappy: Yamamoto loves his executions, and his first response to something he doesn't like is to execute the person responsible.
22	* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: "Oy vey!"
23	[[/folder]]
24
25	[[folder:Shunsui Kyōraku]]
26	->'''Voiced by:''' Logan Laidlaw
27	----
28	* TheAlcoholic: He needs some kind of toxicity in his system to function, to the point where Unohana resorts to a bourbon I.V. when treating him.
29	* DrunkenMaster: One of Soul Society's strongest captains, and a perpetual drunkard, equals this. He even tells Sojiro that the others would call shenanigans on his plan to make it looked like Hitsugaya injured him because that would require Hitsugaya to be able to take down Kyoraku in the first place.
30	[[/folder]]
31
32	[[folder:Suì-Fēng]]
33	->'''Voiced by:''' Mimi Mimoa
34
35	The Yoruichi-sexual captain of Squad 2.
36	----
37	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed a bit. Suì-Fēng can still be pretty abrasive but she's comparatively more approachable than her original counterpart.
38	* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: She attacks Kiyone because to her, there's no grey zone between being a traitor and being loyal; even serving under a traitorous captain is enough for Suì-Fēng.
39	* GreenEyedMonster: Particularly in the Diamond Dust Rebellion film, Suì-Fēng has a barely contained jealousy of Ichigo, mainly because he gets to hang around Yoruichi in the world of the living.
40	* HeartbrokenBadass: Her falling out with Yoruichi left her like this. They made out-- er, made up.
41	-->'''Suì-Fēng:''' Same thing!
42	* InverseLawOfUtilityAndLethality: As Yoruichi mockingly notes, she sucks at actually hitting the targets she makes with Suzumebachi. And bets that it won't work on anyone important.
43	-->'''Suì-Fēng:''' [[IMeantToDoThat S-stupid I'm not missing! I'm just increasing my number of targets!]]
44	* {{Ninja}}: Something she takes great pride in.
45	* PoliceAreUseless: The Stealth Force she leads has never been the best at tracking actual criminals, if [[FillerVillain Kusaka]]'s opinion of them is any indication.
46	* UselessUsefulSpell: Her insta-kill technique has only worked once, on a filler villain. The next filler villain she used it on was able to shrug it off, and she's never going to be able to kill any major canon villains with it.
47	* YouNeedToGetLaid: Ichigo's opinion of her. He may not be wrong, given that she's more agreeable when Yoruichi is around.
48	[[/folder]]
49
50	[[folder:Retsu Unohana]]
51	->'''Voiced by:''' Lindsay Navarro
52
53	The motherly captain of the 4th Division, also known as the cuddle squad.
54	----
55	* TheMedic: Leads the division responsible for medical work.
56	* RetiredBadass: TeamMom she may be, but Aizen avoiding a fight with her, and Yamamoto actually listening to her, serve as a stark reminder that Unohana is ''dangerous''.
57	* TeamMom: One of the few reasonable people in Soul Society, her motherly persona can defuse conflict by showing enough disapproval.
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:Byakuya Kuchiki]]
61	->''"My soul is so very heavy. When you ran away it deepened the bottomless pit that is my heart. How can you do that, Rukia? Why did you deepened my heart pit?"''
62
63	->'''Voiced by:''' Logan Laidlaw
64
65	Rukia's older brother, and an EmoTeen despite being over a century old.
66	----
67	* CallingYourAttacks: To drive home how much of an Emo he is, he recites his Kidō with nihilistic names instead their actual ones. He even adds a "negative" before the number.
68	--> “Hado -63: "The pain I feel within my soul every waking moment" blast.”
69	* ColdHam: Even when he raises his voice and starts getting dramatic, he always maintains his deadpan monotone.
70	* TheComicallySerious: He maintains a heavy deadpan at all times, leading to hilarious contrasts with more colorful characters like Ichigo and Renji.
71	* EmoTeen: Though he's an adult man, he sure likes the nihilistic attitude and depressing poetry associated with emo culture. He implies that Hisana's death is the reason for it.
72	* EmotionalPowers: His Spiritual Pressure and Kido are both powered by his overwhelmingly grim outlook on life.
73	--> '''Ichigo:''' What is [[BattleAura this…!?]]\
74	'''Byakuya:''' What you are feeling is the unyielding weight of real life responsibilities.\
75	[…]\
76	'''Byakuya:''' I infected Zabimaru with the pain I feel everyday within my heart pit. It was unable to stand under the pressure.\
77	'''Renji:''' That’s heavy man…
78	* LawfulStupid: Even he has the opinion that letting Rukia be executed was this, and he admits that he didn't expect her to forgive him for it and claiming he wouldn't.
79	* {{Leitmotif}}: A rock cover of "Hopes and Dreams" from the Undertale soundtrack.
80	* TheLostLenore: He implies that his wife and Rukia's sister Hisana's death is the reason why he's so depressed in the present.
81	* NotSoAboveItAll: Not afraid to get in on the humor himself, such as when Yoruichi attacks Ichigo and Ukitake thinks she's on their side...
82	-->''"Sweet. She's hot."''
83	* OhCrap: As in canon, he has one when Ichigo's Hollow takes over and starts trying to kick his ass. After Ichigo suppresses him, Byakuya even outright states they're ending this with their next attack because "that was terrifying."
84	* RealMenWearPink: Whenever he uses Senbonzakura, he often espouses that pink isn't a sissy color.
85	-->'''Byakuya''': I know what you're thinking; "Oh they're pink, they can't be dangerous. Pink is a stupid color". Well two things; ''you're'' a stupid color and pink just fucked you up.
86	* StrawNihilist: Goes around spouting poetry about how nothing matters and everything is pointless. After Rukia's execution is prevented, he promises to at least ''try'' to be happier, staring by saying "puppies are not depressing."
87	* TrashTalk: Moreso than his canon counterpart. His grim outlook on life doesn't stop him from mocking his opponents.

89
90	[[folder:Sajin Komamura]]
91	->'''Voiced by:''' Aaron Robert Parnell
92
93	The anthropomorphic wolf captain of the 9th division, who only speaks in barks... around Kenpachi, at least.
94	----
95	* AccentAdaptation: He has a Japanese accent... unlike everyone else around him.
96	* TheUnintelligible: Unlike Tōsen, an aversion. Komamura is capable of talking, but for some reason kept barking during his fight with Kenpachi.
97	* WolfMan: If the barking didn't give it away.
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder:Tōshirō Hitsugaya]]
101	->''"Like all problems this all stems from old men who have no idea what they're doing. Soul Society should be run by the'' youth, ''man!"''
102
103	->'''Voiced by:''' Logan Laidlaw
104
105	The young and rebellious captain of Squad 10, who fights to change society with his ice dragon.
106	----
107	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Toshiro in the original is a no-nonsense workaholic StraightMan. This one is more energetic and quirky, though surprisingly still sane.
108	* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Firmly against "The Man", and anyone who perpetuates Soul Society's stagnant laws. He thinks Kisuke's cool because of this.
109	* DarkAndTroubledPast: His reason for being so anti-authority? He and his best friend were forced to fight to the death because Central 46 didn't like the fact that they had the same Zanpakutō, on Christmas and his birthday. Tōshirō became the angry, society-hating millennial he is today because of that.
110	* ADayInTheLimelight: ''The Diamond Dust Rebellion'' was this for him, giving him more character than the average captain.
111	* JerkassHasAPoint: He's not actually wrong about Soul Society needing change, citing the fact that they rule through force, and have a ruthless madman and a Mad Scientist for captains.
112	* HotBlooded: Ironic for AnIcePerson. He's ''very'' passionate about society.
113	* AnIcePerson: His Zanpakutō lets him summon giant ice dragons that yell "DRAGON!" every time he does.
114	* InternalReformist: He became a Captain specifically so he could change Soul Society for the better.
115	* TheManIsStickingItToTheMan: Subverted. Though becoming a captain while preaching his ideology might make him look this way, he actually plans to change Soul Society one step at a time.
116	* RebelliousSpirit: He's a radical who opposes and complains against those who corrupt society in general. He's ultimately working for the betterment of Soul Society, but he's easily tempted to look at sacred objects that are ''illegal'' to be looked at to spite the higher ups.
117	* RelativeButton: Immediately tries to kill Hisagi for saying Momo is the worst critical thinker in Soul Society i.e. being one of the lieutenants who were fooled by their treacherous captains.
118	* SignificantBirthDate: Christmas Day, the day his friend Kusaka died and he became a rebel. As opposed to canon where his birthday was December the 20th.
119	-->'''Rukia:''' [[LampshadeHanging I thought his birthday was-]]\
120	'''Rangiku:''' [[AdaptationDeviation It's Christmas, Rukia!]]
121	* SitcomArchNemesis: Yamamoto is this to him, because he represents the "broken and outdated system".
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Kenpachi Zaraki]]
125	->''"Some say my mother was a train, some say I'm a rejected Franchise/{{Godzilla}} monster too strong for the series canon, [[TheDreaded but everyone says]] [[SpellMyNamewithaThe I'M THE KENPACHI!!]]"''
126
127	->'''Voiced by:''' Logan Laidlaw
128
129	The bloodthirsty captain of the 11th division.
130	----
131	* BloodKnight: He claims to have "senien-nitis", a disease that will kill him if he doesn't fight long enough.
132	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Kenpachi is aware that his allies don't like him, which he attributes to him ''not killing enough and not properly'' rather than being... y'know... [[TheDreaded Kenpachi]]. He also thinks that racking up his kill count will eventually make Soul Society like him.
133	* TheDreaded: Ichigo is still haunted by their fight, and most mooks Kenpachi faces usually end up running from him.
134	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Soul Society despises Kenpachi so much that they've been trying to kill him for ages. However, no one except Ichigo has been able to beat him, hence why he's still around.
135	* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: He often sings or hums whatever theme is playing while he's fighting, and occasionally Yachiru starts the music up for him.
136	* NoSenseOfDirection: It takes him a while to find the Ryoka because he keeps going in exactly the wrong direction.
137	* RightForTheWrongReasons: He's very much aware that the other captains don't like him. The problem is he thinks it's because he doesn't "properly kill" his enemies and resolves to kill more people to earn respect, when it's more for his destructive tendencies, bloodlust, and blatant disregard for authority.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Mayuri Kurotsuchi]]
141	->'''Voiced by:''' Logan Laidlaw
142
143	The rapping mad scientist captain of Squad 12.
144	----
145	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: ''Extremely'' {{downplayed\|Trope}}. If Mayuri's first interaction with Ishida is an indication to his general thought process, he doesn't ''intentionally'' act as insane as he does, rather his brain just refuses to let him say anything other than insanity. He's ''still'' a MadScientist responsible for heinous crimes and the death of Souken Ishida, but it's a far cry from his canon portrayal who was unrepentantly vile through and through.
146	-->'''Mayuri:''' I'm Mayuri Kurotsuchi. I'd love to dissect you! (thinking) 'Goddamnit, brain! Say nice things!'
147	-->'''Mayuri's Brain:''' '''NEVEEERRR!'''
148	-->'''Mayuri:''' Let's start again. I'd love to remove your organs. (thinking) 'BRAIIIN!'
149	* MadScientist: He usually greets people by talking about how he wants to dissect them, recognizes that this isn't proper manners, and does it again.
150	* MrExposition: As the leader of the scientific division, he tends to explain what's going on with {{Filler}} abilities or actions.
151	* ObviouslyEvil: His brain won't even let him say non-threatening things.
152	* TokenEvilTeammate: Though Soul Society has it's fair share of amoral people, Mayuri is the only one that isn't there to uphold laws or kill enemies. He just wants to experiment on everything and everyone around him.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Jūshirō Ukitake]]
156	->'''Voiced by:''' Aaron Robert Parnell
157
158	The sweet but chronically ill captain of the 13th division.
159	----
160	* IncurableCoughOfDeath: He's "dying forever", as he puts it, and his sentences are often interrupted by coughing. It may be related to the thing in his body that even Mayuri would be horrified to see...
161	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The sanest of Soul Society's higher-ups, and he's usually too busy coughing his lungs out to function as such.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	!Lieutenants
165
166	[[folder:Rangiku Matsumoto]]
167	->'''Voiced by:''' Aaron Robert Parnell
168
169	Hitsugaya's lieutenant, a beautiful woman who happens to have a very masculine voice.
170	----
171	* HypocriticalHumor: Agrees with Ikkaku that a woman who sounds like a man is weird.
172	* VocalDissonance: Her main joke is that she has a deep male voice, and unlike Yoruichi, it's her actual voice.
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	[[folder:Ikkaku Madarame]]
176	->'''Voiced by:''' Logan Laidlaw
177
178	The third seat of the Eleventh Division.
179	----
180	* BloodKnight: As Yumichika puts it, his brain is built for hitting things.
181	* {{Catchphrase}}: "I learned X at the academy!"
182	* WillfullyWeak: He can use Bankai, but usually refuses to because he doesn't want to be promoted.
183	[[/folder]]
184
185	[[folder:Yumichika Ayasegawa]]
186	->'''Voiced by:''' Aaron Robert Parnell
187	----
188	* CatchPhrase: He usually throws the word "aesthetic" into his sentences, and is obviously enamored with the concept.
189	[[/folder]]
190
191	[[folder:Momo Hinamori]]
192	->'''Voiced by:''' Ariel Hansen
193
194	Aizen's fangirl of a lieutenant.
195	----
196	* DemotedToExtra: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. She doesn't have ''that'' big a role in the canon Soul Society arc, but she ''does'' have a subplot involving how Aizen manipulates her into thinking Toshiro killed him and wanted to destroy the Soul Society, as well as an established friendship with Izuru and Renji. Here, she's quickly knocked aside by Toshiro when he goes after Gin, and her other scenes largely amount to Josh Groban [[ForTheEvulz screwing with her]].
197	* {{Fangirl}}: Of Josh Groban, which Aizen exploits ruthlessly. Even after he reveals his true colors, Momo still believes that Aizen really is Josh Groban, and that he's being framed.
198	[[/folder]]
199
200	[[folder:Nemu Kurotsuchi]]
201	->'''Voiced by:''' Cassandra Cavalli
202
203	* RoboSpeak: Nemu always speaks in a monotone voice, reflecting the fact that she is a custom artificial soul built by Mayuri. Can also lay down a beat for when he wishes to have a rap battle.
