| 1 | Now you've seen all of the characters that are the main antagonists and protagonists for this series. Let's now take a look at the characters that make up Lelouch's main support group: the Gotei 13. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Please keep in mind that all characters, alive or dead, are listed here if their final or current affiliation makes them part of the Gotei if they are not a PostHumousCharacter. Also because of the rapid changes to positions and what-not this list is now in order of Western Style naming rather than by squad. |
| 4 | Keep in mind that these are only tropes NOT shown in the main series. For details on these characters not shown here [[Characters/BleachThirteenCourtGuardSquads1To7 go to]] [[Characters/BleachThirteenCourtGuardSquads8To13 these]] [[Characters/{{Bleach Anime}} pages]] [[Characters/BleachKarakuraTownResidents here]] and [[Characters/BleachSoulSocietyDwellers here]]. |

| 9 | |
| 10 | !! Ashido Kano |
| 11 | 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. His Zanpakuto is Meiyo Okami (Honorable Wolf) |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: His Shikai |
| 14 | * AscendedExtra |
| 15 | * BackstoryOfTheDay: The Beach episode; he enjoys Surfing, dude! [[spoiler: Mari taught him how; she's still better though.]] |
| 16 | * ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Defend the pack, Meiyo Okami'; it was originally 'Duel, Meiyo Okami'. |
| 17 | * IaijutsuPractitioner: Naomi says she learned it from him, so obviously he’s this too. |
| 18 | * 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. |
| 19 | * ShipTease: [[spoiler: [[ShipperOnDeck Lelouch]] tries to set him up with Yuna after she breaks up with him, due to their shared pasts with Mari, despite Ashido being a lot older than Yuna, though it's unlikely if anything comes of it given the lack of any mention of them interacting post Pursuit Of The Truth. Likely they're JustFriends. Naomi is also a candidate.]] |
| 20 | * ZenSurvivor |
| 21 | |
| 22 | !! [[spoiler:Chief Prosecutor]] Byakuya Kuchiki |
| 23 | 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. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * BattleCouple: With his wife Hisana. [[spoiler:And it shows with their Synergy Strike.]] |
| 26 | * BerserkButton: In canon this is listed as "Emotion Showing Button" [[TheStoic with]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality good]] [[TranquilFury reason]]. In Fanfic/SoulChess this trope is played much more direct when [[spoiler: Talbumosuke cuts down Hisana]]. Byakuya [[UnstoppableRage completely loses it]] |
| 27 | * BreakTheCutie: Took Sojun's death very badly; it does serve as the catalyst for his and Hisana's RelationshipUpgrade. |
| 28 | * [[spoiler: BrokenPedestal: Lelouch, post Zero Requiem.]] |
| 29 | * HappilyMarried: To Hisana[[spoiler:, and is now a father of twins Kyo and Isao.]] |
| 30 | * IncrediblyLamePun: After Hisana uses her [[LightTheWay Chant of Light]] against [[spoiler: Koga]] Byakuya tells her "that was brilliant". |
| 31 | * [[spoiler: KillTheOnesYouLove: In order to get on Muramasa’s good side he has to kill his children, but it was a case of FakingTheDead]]. |
| 32 | * [[spoiler: PapaWolf]]: Guaranteed as of ch 94. [[spoiler: And shown in chapter 123. See ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight below]] |
| 33 | * [[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)]]. |
| 34 | --> '''Byakuya:''' [[spoiler: In times of crisis some laws have to be broken]] |
| 35 | * TheComicallySerious: Still stuck in the mud, but a more rounded individual than in canon, leading to moments of unintentional hilarity. |
| 36 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[BreakTheCutie then]] [[DespairEventHorizon shit]] [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids happened]]. |
| 37 | * [[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.]]]] |
| 38 | ** [[spoiler: She follows up on it later when she realizes its all an act and asked Byakuya why he couldn't trust her. |
| 39 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Lelouch tells Byakuya he reminds him of Suzaku. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | !! Chojiro Sasakibe |
| 42 | 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]]]] |
| 43 | |
| 44 | * AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: There's an omake called this and it does a damn good job of making an example of this trope; he has a Bankai which transforms him into [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]. |
| 45 | * [[spoiler: BigSleep]] |
| 46 | * [[spoiler: MercyKill: At his Zanpakuto's request]] |
| 47 | |
| 48 | !! Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto |
| 49 | Head Captain of the Gotei 13. [[spoiler: His bankai is Ryujin Jakka Mugen Ikari. He was the FIRST Shinigami to unlock Bankai. [[WhamEpisode He is killed by Aizen and Nyra]]]]. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | * [[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]]. |
| 52 | * [[spoiler: BigDamnHeroes: Even Death cannot stop him from helping out Lelouch in the Final Part of Aizen's Revenge arc.]] |
| 53 | * [[spoiler: DyingMomentOfAwesome: His battle with Nyra and Aizen]]. |
| 54 | * HealItWithFire: During his battle with [[spoiler: Hollow Ichigo]] Yamamoto clasps a wound on his arm and sears it closed. |
| 55 | * [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: [[WhamEpisode HOLY SHIT!]]]] |
| 56 | ** [[spoiler: SlashedThroat: Courtsey of Aizen, though only after Nyra had done all the work.]] |
| 57 | * [[spoiler: LaserBlade: Core form]] |
| 58 | * [[spoiler: LetsGetDangerous: Bankai.]] |
| 59 | ** [[spoiler: MultiArmedAndDangerous]] |
| 60 | * [[spoiler: OhCrap: Talbumosuke thinks that the trick to using against Komamura's Bankai will also work against Yamomoto's. Long story short, it doesn't.]] |
| 61 | * [[spoiler: PassingTheTorch: To Unohana to make her Squad One Captaincy official.]] |
| 62 | * [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings: His Bankai's ultimate form]] |
| 63 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Much more so than in canon. |
| 64 | * {{Weredragon}}: [[spoiler: Ryujin Jakka’s true form is a gigantic dragon]]. |
| 65 | * [[spoiler: WalkingWasteland: Which is why he refuses to use Zanka No Tachi after the damage it did while fighting Rita.]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | !! Gin Ichimaru |
| 68 | 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 until the end of Aizen's Revenge when he becomes Captain of Squad 12. Engaged to Rangiku]] |
| 69 | |
| 70 | * BlackComedyRape: Invoked in the omake chapter 74.03 (the omake for ch 82) |
| 71 | * CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Easily defeats his own Zanpakuto in the Reapers and Heralds arc.]] |
| 72 | * 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. |
| 73 | * [[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 [[MoralityPet he really does care about Rangiku]], so it is possible he is entirely this. He's lucky Lelouch spoke in his defense]]. |
| 74 | * [[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]].]] |
| 75 | * GuileHero: Very debatable on the "hero" aspect but he is very intelligent. [[spoiler:He continues the research on Lelouch's Sorting Algorithm of Hollows to apply it on menos and gillians.]] |
| 76 | * [[spoiler: HeroicComedicSociopath]]: Gin might be a psycho, but he's quite comical at times. |
| 77 | * [[spoiler: IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy]]: In chapter 61 he says that [[spoiler: if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku]]. |
| 78 | * [[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]].]] |
| 79 | ** It’s possible they don’t know that he [[spoiler: was set loose as Tosen’s replacement Vice-captain for Hisagi]] |
| 80 | *** [[spoiler:Confirmed in the Aizen's Revenge arc. Kensei strings him up [[NeckLift by his neck]] and slams him into the ceiling for what he is. He would've killed him but Yuna, of all people, tells him they [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou still need Gin alive for all of his]] [[MagnificentBastard magnificent bastardry]]]]. |
| 81 | * 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. |
| 82 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Gin flat out says the key phrase “I grew up” to [[spoiler: his Zanpakuto]] |
| 83 | * [[spoiler: TakeThat: Invoked by the author at what [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Gin did to Aizen]] in canon replicated with Talbumosuke here, only it works]]. |
| 84 | * [[spoiler:UnscrupulousHero: With definite shades of NominalHero]]. |
| 85 | * [[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]]. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | !! Hisana Kuchiki |
| 88 | 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]] |
| 89 | |
| 90 | * [[spoiler: ActionMom]]: As of chapter 94 |
| 91 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Reapers & Heralds |
| 92 | * AnimalMotifs: A horned owl. [[spoiler: While in Bankai]]. |
| 93 | * AscendedExtra |

| 95 | * BattleCouple: With her husband Byakuya. [[spoiler:And it shows with their Synergy Strike.]] |
| 96 | * BerserkButton: [[spoiler: A good way to get your ass kicked is to [[KnightTemplarBigBrother harm or threaten Rukia]]]]. |
| 97 | ** [[spoiler: [[MamaBear Don't harm or threaten to harm her kids either]]]] |
| 98 | * 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. |
| 99 | * [[spoiler: BrownNote: A notable effect of her Bankai]]. |
| 100 | * [[spoiler: ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Sing, Kaze no Irokoe' and 'Bankai: Saigo no Chu no Kaze no Irokoe']] |
| 101 | * 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]]. |
| 102 | * [[spoiler: DrivenToSuicide: Almost. Isane stopped her just in the nick of time]] |
| 103 | * FeminineWomenCanCook |
| 104 | * HappilyMarried: To Byakuya |
| 105 | * HeroicBSOD: Has one when she finds out [[spoiler: Kyo and Isao are dead]] |
| 106 | ** [[spoiler: Though it turns out they’re perfectly fine and Hisana snaps out of it after almost being DrivenToSuicide]] |
| 107 | * [[spoiler: [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]]]]. |
| 108 | * LadyOfWar: Hisana is very graceful in battle, much like her husband compared to others like [[AxCrazy Unohana]] [[CombatPragmatist Kendra and Yolanda]] and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Naomi]]. |
| 109 | * [[spoiler: MamaBear]]: If she’s [[spoiler: a KnightTemplarBigBrother towards Rukia]] you can expect she’ll be like this [[spoiler: towards her children]]. |
| 110 | ** Oh she is. Just ask [[spoiler: Kaze no Irokoe]] |
| 111 | * [[spoiler: MyGreatestSecondChance: Her reunion with Rukia courtesy of the combined efforts of Lelouch and Naomi]]. |
| 112 | * [[spoiler: MusicalAssassin]] |
| 113 | * [[spoiler: NumberTwo: To Lelouch in the Phantoms; she outranks Isshin and Tosen, two ''captains'', despite just being a leiutenant.]] |
| 114 | * [[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]]. |
| 115 | * [[spoiler: OneWingedAngel: Her Bankai's ultimate form. [[{{Expy}} Very much Sephiroth themed.]] |
| 116 | * [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings: In Bankai]] |
| 117 | * [[spoiler: RedEyesTakeWarning: When using her Bankai's ultimate form. The eyes on the bird hood she wears turn red]]. |
| 118 | * [[spoiler: RedShirtArmy]]: Hisana's birds [[spoiler: from her Bankai]] are essentially this. |
| 119 | * 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. |
| 120 | * SingleTargetSexuality: She's only ever had eyes for Byakuya since their days in the academy. |
| 121 | * 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. |
| 122 | ** 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. |
| 123 | * [[spoiler: ThemeMusicPowerUp: Her Bankai can do this in the form of OminousLatinChanting '''''in-universe''''']]. |
| 124 | ** [[spoiler: She also apparently has a technique that powers up her allies. Once again the music is heard in-universe]]. |
| 125 | * ThirdTimesTheCharm: [[spoiler: When using the technique that activates her Bankai's SuperMode it works for the first time on the third try]]. |
| 126 | * TribalFacePaint: Gets this with [[spoiler: her bankai]]. |
| 127 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes?: Hisana hates bugs. So naturally, during [[spoiler: the Karakura Arc, she fights an arrancar with an insect theme.]] |
| 128 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Byakuya calls her this. And it's delved into more in chapter 188, making her the SilkHidingSteel variety [[spoiler:much like her daughter]]. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | !! Ikkaku Madarame |
| 131 | The HotBlooded battle hungry 3rd seat of Squad 11. [[spoiler: He is killed in the Battle of Karakura Town by Karrthus Darigaaz. As of his return in Permanent Sinner, he is Togabito #520.]] |
| 132 | |
| 133 | * [[spoiler: AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type]] [[DesignatedVillain IV]]. He never wants to fight Soul Society, he is just on the opposing side.]] |
| 134 | * [[spoiler: BadassDecay: You'd expect him to be way stronger than #520.]] |
| 135 | * [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]] |
| 136 | * TheRival: To Shisato |
| 137 | * [[spoiler: WhamEpisode: His death is the first fatality of the Gotei 13 after Ichigo gets involved and sets the tone that this is not the Bleach we are used to anymore [[ButterflyEffect not that it was much like that entirely anyway]] [[InSpiteOfANail but some things]] [[TheStationsOfTheCanon remained the same]]]]. |
| 138 | |
| 139 | !! Isane Kotetsu |
| 140 | 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. |
| 141 | |
| 142 | * AnIcePerson: Itegumo's power, as seen during Reapers and Heralds. |
| 143 | * AscendedExtra: Much more prominent in Soul Chess than in canon Bleach. |
| 144 | %%* CooldownHug: To [[spoiler: Unohana]] |
| 145 | %%* ShipperOnDeck: Was this for [[spoiler: Yuna/Lelouch]] before it was shut down |
| 146 | * [[spoiler: TheirFirstTime: Loses her virginity to Lelouch when she offers to join the harem.]] |
| 147 | * TheMedic: Stands to reason; gets unofficially recognised as Lelouch's personal physician, because [[spoiler: as a Phantom]], she can help cover for any injuries he and the rest of them receive. |
| 148 | * [[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]] |
| 149 | |
| 150 | !! Izuru Kira |
| 151 | Vice-captain of Squad 3 and also a student of Lelouch's. [[spoiler:Dies during the Aizen's revenge arc against Ulquiorra]]. |
| 152 | |
| 153 | * 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 [[VideoGame/SoulSeries bo-staff]]. |
| 154 | * [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice / TakingYouWithMe: Does this against Ulquiorra to allow for Hisana and Byakuya to unleash their Synergy Strike]]. |
| 155 | * WhatMightHaveBeen: Meta. Renji [[spoiler: and Momo]] have Bankai [[spoiler: and Rukia is on her way to getting hers]], so he may have achieved it [[spoiler: had he lived longer.]] |
| 156 | |
| 157 | !! Jushiro Ukitake |
| 158 | The [[AFatherToHisMen fatherly]] white haired captain of Squad 13. [[spoiler: His Bankai is called Hanron Dekinai Sogyo no Kotowari]]. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | * {{Archenemy}}: To Ginjo |
| 161 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: How his Zanpakuto works. [[spoiler: His Bankai takes up to eleven. Poor Ulquiorra.]] |
| 162 | * [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: Averted; Vera, his adopted sister, saves him just in time.]] |
| 163 | * 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]]. |
| 164 | * [[spoiler: OfficialCouple: With Kiyone.]] |
| 165 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: Gives one to Ginjo as part of the man’s backstory. |
| 166 | |
| 167 | !! Kaien Shiba |
| 168 | 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. His Bankai is named Nejibana Sora ni Rasen-jo. Married to Rukia]]. |
| 169 | |
| 170 | * AscendedExtra |
| 171 | * 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. |
| 172 | * BerserkButton: Do not defile Miyako's honor or memory in front of him. You'll regret it. |
| 173 | ** Due to this, [[spoiler: Mia]] has sort of become a living BerserkButton for him |
| 174 | * [[spoiler: DeclarationOfProtection]]: Has taken up this mentality towards [[spoiler: Rukia]]. [[spoiler: It's why they're married]]. |
| 175 | * 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 |
| 176 | * HappilyMarried: To Miyako. [[spoiler: After Miyako's death, to Rukia]] |
| 177 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Has one when he realizes Miyako is a part of Mia]]. |
| 178 | * HonorBeforeReason |
| 179 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He survives the encounter with Metastacia, but not being able to stop Miyako's death constantly eats away at him]]. |
| 180 | * NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: 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]]. |
| 181 | * NoodleIncident: Kukaku knows one about him and a chocolate fountain |
| 182 | * NotSoStoic: Kaien '''flips out''' during his first and third battles with Mia for [[BerserkButton defiling his memories of Miyako]]. |
| 183 | ** In an omake, he joins in Ichigo's and Rukia's drunken singing after Kukaku has gone to bed. |
| 184 | * [[spoiler: RelationshipUpgrade: In chapter 74, Kaien marries and deflowers Rukia]]. |
| 185 | * ReverseShrapnel: [[spoiler: Part of his Bankai]]. |
| 186 | * TookALevelInBadass: In chapter 64 Kaien [[spoiler: learns Bankai]]. |
| 187 | |
| 188 | !! Kaname Tosen |
| 189 | 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. |
| 190 | |
| 191 | * TheAtoner: Becomes this to make up for [[spoiler:the death of Shuhei and Sajin and all he did before Aizen tricked him into revenge. Yuna's going to make sure he sticks to it]]. |
| 192 | * HeelFaceTurn: Lelouch convinces him to turn to [[spoiler: betray Aizen]] |
| 193 | * 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 considered resigning himself as captain until Lelouch intervened.]] |
| 194 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Tosen nearly gets his team annihilated because Zurik is able to absorb the elemental energy in his Bankai. |
| 195 | * TheMole: His role [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 196 | * SixthRanger: to the phantoms. |
| 197 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Yuna. [[spoiler:She doesn't trust him for working with Aizen for so long; it's why she ends up as Shunsui's VC rather than his. Seems to have healed by the end, when he brings her some much needed medical supplies during HellOnEarth.]] |
| 198 | |
| 199 | |
| 200 | !! Kenpachi Kiganjo |
| 201 | The captain of Squad 11 before Zaraki's time. |
| 202 | |
| 203 | * BrilliantButLazy: Not brilliant [[CurbStompBattle enough]]. |
| 204 | * FelonyMisdemeanor: 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. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | !! Kenpachi [[spoiler:"Hitteki"]] Zaraki |
| 207 | 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)]] |
| 208 | |
| 209 | * 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. Vanguard has survived long enough to force this twice, and if he's around Ichigo, it's a given]]. |
| 210 | * ArchEnemy: Vanguard. Later becomes TheRival. |
| 211 | * BadassBoast: "I’m Zaraki Kenpachi and I never quit" |
| 212 | ** Kenpachi repeats said boast after [[spoiler: Ichigo snaps him out of his HeroicBSOD]] |
| 213 | * BerserkButton: Gets notably angrier [[spoiler:if you threaten Yachiru.]] |
| 214 | * [[spoiler: ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Go All Out, Fumetsu Seishin no Senso'.]] |
| 215 | * [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Kenpachi Has Standards]]: Kenpachi enjoys battle, but considers the SAZ massacre to be like roasting a pig and finds it despicable. |
| 216 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Of a sort; at [[spoiler: Kaien and Rukia's wedding, he sings "Indestructible" by Disturbed; his Zanpakuto has a near identical name (spirit of war vs master of war)]] |
| 217 | * HeartbrokenBadass: If it is indeed true that he and [[spoiler: the original Yachiru]] were more than friends. He qualifies for this. |
| 218 | ** Potential HilariousInHindsight given canon developments. |
| 219 | * [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Suffers this after his Zanpakuto beats him]] |
| 220 | * [[spoiler: ItsPersonal: The main reason for limiting Ichigo's role in fighting Vanguard.]] |
| 221 | * MemeticBadass: The omake of ch 82 turns him into this. |
| 222 | * PunchPunchPunchUhOh: [[spoiler: His first battle against Vanguard.]] |
| 223 | * 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]]. |
| 224 | * 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]]. |
| 225 | * [[spoiler: TookALevelInBadass: Finally learns the name of his Zanpakuto.]] |
| 226 | |
| 227 | !! Kiyone Kotetsu |
| 228 | The energetic co-3rd seat of Squad 13 and also the younger sister of Isane. Her Zanpakuto is called Usaginoashi |
| 229 | |
| 230 | * KickChick: Her Zanpakuto gives her greaves. |
| 231 | * {{Fangirl}}: To Jushiro Ukitake; [[spoiler: he beds her in chapter 200.]] |
| 232 | * [[spoiler: OfficialCouple: With Jushiro]] |
| 233 | |
| 234 | !! Kukaku Shiba |
| 235 | 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 5th seat under his command]]. [[spoiler: Her Zanpakuto is called Kyodai Bakudan (Mad Bomber)]]. |
| 236 | |
| 237 | * AscendedExtra: Much more prominent here than in canon. |
| 238 | * BerserkButton: Has [[RuleOfThree three]]. Never say no to her, never treat her like she's easy, and you ''never'' tell her to shut up. |
| 239 | * [[spoiler: ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Explode With Intensity, Kyodai Bakudan']] |
| 240 | * 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. |
| 241 | * CombatPragmatist |
| 242 | * DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Beats the shit out of Ichigo/Kaien whenever they question her/piss her off. |
| 243 | * DrivesLikeCrazy |
| 244 | * HairTriggerTemper |
| 245 | * HavingABlast |
| 246 | * IWasBeatenByAGirl: Largely averted. If Kukaku beats your ass down, complaining will only result in a further dose of pain. |
| 247 | * AllPeriodsArePMS: She pretty much runs the Shiba house on sheer terror alone--even Kaien cows to her will--during this time. In the one instance we see this. She is making Rukia, Ganju and Kaien labor for her breakfast and personal needs and is using two servants as her cushion and footrest and Kaien closing the door behind him after an exchange with her is described as "locking a dragon inside the room". Sympathies go out to the Shiba household. |
| 248 | * MythologyGag: Lelouch isn't the [[{{Crossover}} first]] [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss person]] Kukaku realizes CannotHoldHisLiquor |
| 249 | * 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. |
| 250 | * NumberTwo: To Lelouch in the early days. |
| 251 | * PowerFist: Obtains one when [[spoiler: she releases her Zanpakuto]]. |
| 252 | * SirSwearsALot: And ''how!'' |
| 253 | * WaveMotionGun: A power of [[spoiler: her Zanpakuto]]. |
| 254 | * WillfullyWeak: Despite the fact that she could quite easily reach 3rd seat in [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership Eleventh Division]]. Kukaku is perfectly complacent in Tenth Division under [[spoiler: Lelouch]]. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | !! Maki Ichinose |
| 257 | An 8th seat of the Eleventh division and a loyalist to Zaraki's predecessor. |
| 258 | |
| 259 | * AscendedExtra: [[spoiler: only to be killed off by Lelouch.]] |
| 260 | |
| 261 | !! Mayuri Kurotsuchi |
| 262 | The twisted successor over the Department of Research and Development to Kisuke Urahara. [[spoiler: Killed off by Nyra and returns as Togabito #315]] |
| 263 | |
| 264 | * [[spoiler:AssholeVictim: So much so that Lelouch and Unohana have no respect for his death and toast so that his time in hell will not be pleasant]]. |
| 265 | ** [[spoiler: Turns out it was ''relatively'' pleasant.]] |
| 266 | * [[spoiler: BadassDecay: While never truly badass per se, he was able to hold off Kira Luz and Gin during the battles of Fake Karakura; come going to Hell, the best he can manage is #315. Even [[HotBlooded Tatsuki]] can do better than that]]. |
| 267 | * [[spoiler: FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Oh yes indeed]] |
| 268 | * [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: By Nyra]] |
| 269 | ** [[spoiler: Again by Marriane. Possibly for good this time. given Hell's rules.]] |
| 270 | * MadScientist |
| 271 | * TokenEvilTeammate |
| 272 | |
| 273 | !! Miyako Shiba |
| 274 | Kaien's [[spoiler: deceased]] wife. Her Zanpakuto is Hagane Renge (Steel Lotus). |
| 275 | |
| 276 | * BlowYouAway: Her Zanapkuto's power |
| 277 | * ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Glide across the valley, Hagane Renge' |
| 278 | * [[spoiler: EvilCostumeSwitch]]: As Mia. |
| 279 | * [[spoiler: [[ThatManIsDead That Woman Is Dead]]: Tells this to Kaien as Mia, saying how they are the same person, but at the same time Mia is a separate entity all on her own]]. |
| 280 | * [[spoiler: WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: While being absorbed by Aaroniero she fought back. She succeeded, but she lost her mind to the hollows he'd already devoured]]. |
| 281 | |
| 282 | !! Momo Hinamori |
| 283 | 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: Now the New Captain of Squad 4. Her Bankai is Yudiana Tobiume Koken.]] |
| 284 | |
| 285 | * [[spoiler:AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: After her NoHoldsBarredBeatdown against Zurik she breaks down into a sobbing mess, demanding Hitsugaya be given back to her]] and eventually using this trope. |
| 286 | * [[spoiler: AxCrazy: Downplayed. After the Atrumier incident (see HeroicBSOD), her first action as a Phantom after that is luring someone in a honey trap and quite gleefully shanking him. Lelouch tells her to knock it off.]] |
| 287 | * BerserkButton: Do not harm Hitsugaya. [[UnstoppableRage She will not like that]]. |
| 288 | * [[spoiler: BewareTheNiceOnes]]: Exaggerated in her battle with Zurik. DO NOT piss off Momo. There's a reason the chapter is called [[spoiler:[[BreakTheCutie Break Momo]], die horribly, no exceptions]]. |
| 289 | * [[spoiler:BigDamnHeroes]]: In chapter 160 She saves [[spoiler:Milly]] and stops [[spoiler:Mao]] from causing [[spoiler:a TemporalParadox a la ButterflyEffect]]. |
| 290 | * CharacterDevelopment: Momo has become much more independent and confident than in canon. One could even call her a [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism less cynical]] version of Lelouch. [[spoiler:This is, of course, an extension of having been taught by him and [[CorruptTheCutie picking up]] [[DarkerAndEdgier some habits]] [[StepfordSmiler from him]]]]. |
| 291 | ** It's gone a lot farther than that in recent chapters. [[spoiler:Lelouch wants her to carry on the legacy of Zero should ill fate befall him; she was on the verge of declaring such when Lelouch returned]]. |
| 292 | * [[spoiler: CorruptTheCutie: Courtesy of Lelouch]]. |
| 293 | * [[spoiler: DarkerAndEdgier]] |
| 294 | * [[spoiler:DarkIsNotEvil[=/=]]]LightIsGood: Played with. In Momo’s battle with Zurik she looks like she’s about to go through a whole magical girl type transformation against Zurik [[spoiler:[[BerserkButton for critically harming Hitsugaya]]]], but she [[spoiler: transforms into something a little more demonic and while Momo is still a protagonist she loses all self-control and delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brought upon by her UnstoppableRage]] |
| 295 | * [[spoiler: ExpositoryHairstyleChange: After becoming DarkerAndEdgier Momo removes the bun from her hair and just lets her hair flow down around her shoulders]]. |
| 296 | * [[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]]. |
| 297 | * [[spoiler:GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Delivered this to Lelouch when he is sleep deprived in planing the downfall of Central Forty-Six and [[NearRapeExperience was about to rape her]].]] |
| 298 | * [[spoiler:GoMadFromTheRevelation: Despite Lelouch's plans [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption this happened to her anyway]]. At least she didn't get stabbed through the chest this time]]. |
| 299 | * [[spoiler:GravityMaster: Part of her Bankai]]. |
| 300 | * [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD: Has one when she helps Lelouch and the Phantoms murder the Atrumier family]]. |
| 301 | ** And a second one when [[spoiler:Hitsugaya dies. It's a case of FakingTheDead, but she doesn't know that at the time]]. She flies into an UnstoppableRage. |
| 302 | * 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]] |
| 303 | * [[spoiler: LovesMyAlterEgo: Hitsugaya's favorite phantom is Fantomu Baioretto]]. |
| 304 | ** [[spoiler: In recent chapters Hitsugaya seems to be [[AnchoredShip struggling to confess to Momo]] despite [[ShipperOnDeck Lelouch's encouragement]]. He does so eventually and they have sex for the first time.]] |
| 305 | * MythologyGag: Chapter 74 [[FanFic/TalesOfBleachUnrealSociety is not the first time]] the author has had Momo sing [[Music/GreenDay Wake Me Up When September Ends]]. |
| 306 | * [[spoiler:NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Delivers one to Zurik for [[BerserkButton severely injuring Hitsugaya]].]] |
| 307 | * [[spoiler: OfficialCouple: With Toshiro]] |
| 308 | * PetTheDog: Quite literally in terms of petting. You’ll often see Lelouch patting her head whenever he’s proud of her. |
| 309 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: From chapter 91 as she is bringing the pain to two adjuchas "Leave! My Squad! Alone!" |
| 310 | * RescueRomance: By intervening and saving her and her classmates rather than Aizen, Lelouch became the target of Momo's affection as well, though it seems to be downplayed recently to just simple admiration. |
| 311 | * [[spoiler:ShockAndAwe: Seen when she loses control of her Bankai, but has since regained Control of it]]. |
| 312 | * [[spoiler:SinisterScythe: She obtains one when she flies into an unstoppable rage against Zurik]]. |
| 313 | * [[spoiler:ThisIsUnforgivable: Uses this trope when Zurik supposedly kills Hitsugaya]]. |
| 314 | * TookALevelInBadass: Despite everything above one word from her SCREAMS THIS. [[spoiler:Bankai.]] |
| 315 | * [[spoiler:UnexpectedSuccessor: In-progress. Lelouch says that even if he produces an heir that, should ill fate befall him, he wants Momo to take the next mantle of Zero, leaving his entire legacy to her. She nearly has to do just that]]. |
| 316 | |
| 317 | !! Nanao Ise |
| 318 | 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 (Owl). |
| 319 | |
| 320 | * ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Screech, Fukuro'. |
| 321 | * [[spoiler:DroppedABridgeOnHer: She dies before she can get much in the ways of CharacterDevelopment]]. |
| 322 | * DualWielding: Her Shikai is two small dagger blades. |
| 323 | * ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: Makes a habit of this because enemies don't expect it. |
| 324 | * [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]] |
| 325 | |
| 326 | !! Nemu Kurotsuchi |
| 327 | 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. 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; though not anymore. Seems to have got together with Renji at present]]. Her Shikai is Tekubi-kiri Tamashi (Wrist Cutting Soul). |
| 328 | |
| 329 | * [[spoiler: BrotherSisterIncest: A ''little bit'' of Lelouch's genetic material went into her creation, so they're technically related despite the fact they are (or were) engaged in a sexual relationship.]] |
| 330 | * ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Sharpen, Tekubi-kiri Tamashi'. |
| 331 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Her shikai gives her two gigantic wristblades. |
| 332 | * [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Subverted. Mayuri invents a new artificial soul that curbstomps her offscreen and subsequently makes her heart stop, but Marianne later does...something to revive her. [[NoodleIncident We're not sure what, but it required her to take her clothes off]]]]. |
| 333 | * NakedOnArrival |
| 334 | * NotBloodSiblings: with Lelouch. |
| 335 | * [[spoiler: PairTheSpares: Ambiguous with Renji, after they both [[RomanticRunnerUp end up finishing second place for someone's affections]]; [[LikeBrotherAndSister Lelouch's for Nemu]], [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Rukia's for Renji]].]] |
| 336 | * UndyingLoyalty: towards Lelouch. |
| 337 | |
| 338 | !! Nozomi Kujo |
| 339 | The 6th seat of squad 10 [[spoiler:later promoted to 5th seat of Squad 6]]. Nozomi is from the Reigai filler arc in the Bleach Anime. Her Zanpakuto is called Arozome Shigure. More details about her can be found [[Characters/BleachAnime here]]. |
| 340 | |
| 341 | * [[spoiler:BigDamnHeroes:She saves Euphie and Shirley alongside [[Characters/SoulChessOriginalCharacters May Stowa]] against Tsukishima]]. |
| 342 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Lelouch for his perceived hypocrisy after they return from the Black Rebellion. She gets transfered out and promoted when she states her unwillingness to continue serving under him. |
| 343 | |
| 344 | !! Rangiku Matsumoto |
| 345 | 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. |
| 346 | |
| 347 | * GoingCommando: Pulls this once as a means of seducing Lelouch. |
| 348 | * 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]] really [[DidNotGetTheGirl blame him]]? |
| 349 | * PetTheDog: Rangiku opts against telling Orihime [[spoiler:that it’s all too likely Ichigo is dead]] rather than telling her the truth, knowing it would break her heart. She instead reinforces Orihime’s beliefs. Turns out she was right not to. |
| 350 | * [[spoiler: PleaseDontLeaveMe: says this to Lelouch in one chapter]]. |
| 351 | * [[spoiler: SexForSolace: Does this with Lelouch for her own shattered soul]]. |
| 352 | * SheIsAllGrownUp: Lelouch’s reaction to seeing her in chapter 15 after not having seen her in nearly twenty years |
| 353 | * {{Stripperific}}: She wears the bare minimum of her Shihakusho in chapter 61 in order to seduce Lelouch. |
| 354 | |
| 355 | !! Renji Abarai |
| 356 | 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. |
| 357 | |
| 358 | * BerserkButton: Due to events that have happened in this universe, Renji has developed one for being called weak. |
| 359 | * DemotedToExtra: You would be forgiven for thinking that he had died at some point early in the plot. |
| 360 | ** He ''is'' in the group of reinforcements sent to Karakura, but hasn't done anything significant yet. |
| 361 | ** [[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 of Karakura.]] |
| 362 | *** He's also starting to get a larger role lately so the author hasn't completely forgotten about him it seems. |
| 363 | * [[spoiler: DidNotGetTheGirl: See UnluckyChildhoodFriend below]] |
| 364 | * 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. |
| 365 | * {{Flanderization}}: In canon Renji is notoriously 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, [[DesignatedMonkey expect Renji to be the victim]] or if Renji fights, [[TheWorfEffect don't expect him to win]] or [[CurbStompBattle put up that much of a fight]]. |
| 366 | ** Seems to be getting subverted as of late with his TrainingFromHell and [[TookALevelInBadass extra level in badass]]. |
| 367 | * ForgettableCharacter: The [[DemotedToExtra demotion]] is so bad that Ichigo barely knows who he is now and HE CAN'T STAND IT!!! |
| 368 | * [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has some rather hilarious ones when he learns that Kaien is going to marry Rukia and that the marriage is finalized]]. |
| 369 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler: Kaien and Hisana]] specifically. He's gotten his own moments though. |
| 370 | * [[spoiler: PairTheSpares: Ambiguous with Nemu, after they both [[RomanticRunnerUp end up finishing second place for someone's affections]]; [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Rukia's for Renji]], [[LikeBrotherAndSister Lelouch's for Nemu]].]] |
| 371 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Is actually useful and essential to [[spoiler: Mia’s final defeat]]. |
| 372 | * 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. |
| 373 | * 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]]. It's ripped straight out Dragonball Z, Gravity Intensification and Time Dilation included. |
| 374 | * [[spoiler: UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Becomes this when Rukia marries Kaien]]. |
| 375 | * WhatTheHellHero: Gave one to [[spoiler: Kaien to let him know that he is not on his own in fighting Mia]]. |
| 376 | |
| 377 | !! [[spoiler:Captain-Commander]] Retsu Unohana |
| 378 | Captain of Squad 4 [[spoiler:now the NEW Captain of Squad 1]] and both a terror and [[TeamMom a mother]] to her allies, a nightmare to her foes. [[spoiler:Her Bankai is Minazuki Zenmetsu ([[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Purify the Flesh by Total Eradication]]).]] |
| 379 | |
| 380 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Yeah, there’s a reason she is the second longest running captain. |
| 381 | * AwesomeButImpractical: [[spoiler:Her Bankai's ultimate form can only be achieved if all five of the heads are destroyed simultaneously and her blade is broken. [[MadeOfIron Good luck with that]]]]. |
| 382 | ** It gets better; [[spoiler: She has a form beyond that, requiring her to get drenched in blood before she can use it.]] |
| 383 | * [[spoiler: AxCrazy]]: Used to be this. Still is on special occasions |
| 384 | * [[spoiler: BadassInDistress: During a portion of the Aizen's Revenge arc.]] |
| 385 | * BlackComedyRape: There's a hilarious omake incident between her and Isane. |
| 386 | * [[spoiler: BloodKnight]]: Used to be this too. Along with [[spoiler: BloodLust]]. |
| 387 | * 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. [[spoiler: They do, thanks mainly to Jushiro.]] |
| 388 | * [[spoiler: ChildByRape: An indirect product of one involving Kasumi's Rape.]] |
| 389 | * 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." |
| 390 | * CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Gives one to Sparrga and to a lesser extent Nyra; receives one from Kasumi.]] |
| 391 | * 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. |
| 392 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Unohana is able to cow [[spoiler: the Soul King]] to her will by threatening to "go crying to mommy" in reference to [[spoiler:her surrogate mother Rita.]] Completely justified, as it happens. |
| 393 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Her braid is removed [[spoiler:for good]] and she lets her hair cascade down after [[spoiler:becoming the Head Captain]]. |
| 394 | ** [[spoiler: Please note that as this was written before TheReveal in canon, the throat scar Kenpachi gave her is not present.]] |
| 395 | * [[spoiler: EyesDoNotBelongThere: There are eyes on her wings courtesy of her Bankai’s ultimate form]] |
| 396 | * {{Fanservice}}: Unohana wearing nothing on her top except her bra during her battle with [[spoiler: Minazuki]] |
| 397 | * {{Flanderization}}: In canon, Unohana is benevolent, but if she smiles everyone falls in line. In the fic, her mere presence frightens those around her. |
| 398 | * FourIsDeath: She’s the fourth person to fight Spargga. [[CurbStompBattle The end result is not pretty]]. |
| 399 | * [[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. |
| 400 | * [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Breaks down when she’s forced to act like an AxCrazy BloodKnight again]] |
| 401 | * {{Irony}}: Unohana became the captain of the medical division, despite her [[spoiler: DarkAndTroubledPast]] |
| 402 | * [[spoiler: LaughingMad]]: She is awfully happy when she’s shown in the past butchering hollows [[spoiler: and people]]. |
| 403 | * 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. |
| 404 | ** As of the end of the Aizen's revenge arc [[spoiler:her braid is gone]] which means now that if she has to step into the fight AT ALL shit has hit the fan. [[spoiler:Case in point look at recent events in Canon with Yamamoto Vs Juha Bach]]. |
| 405 | * [[spoiler: LickingTheBlade]]: Does this in a flashback. And it's creepy. |
| 406 | * MadeOfIron: Ichigo[[spoiler:'s half-hollow form ripped Ulquiorra to shreds. She survived an encounter with it]]. |
| 407 | ** [[spoiler: One of the lines put it nicely "A normal captain would’ve had their back torn in half"]] |
| 408 | ** [[spoiler: She didn't just "survive it". She, technically, won against it by knocking Ichigo out of it. This woman is scary]] |
| 409 | * MagicKnight: Never seen more prominent than with her battle against [[spoiler: Ichigo’s half-hollow hybrid form]]. |
| 410 | * MartialPacifist: [[DarkAndTroubledPast Excessively justified]]. |
| 411 | * [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: She can transform into one if she bathes in the blood of her enemies enough]]. |
| 412 | * [[spoiler: PowerGivesYouWings: her Bankai’s ultimate form]] |
| 413 | * [[spoiler: ReformedCriminal]] |
| 414 | * [[spoiler: SlasherSmile]]: Used to sport this |
| 415 | * 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 CuteAndPsycho and TookALevelInKindness and buried the tendencies. WordOfGod has not commented on this yet. |
| 416 | ** 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. |
| 417 | * [[spoiler: TheAtoner]] |
| 418 | * [[spoiler: TheReveal: The reincarnation of Kasumi's kid.]] |
| 419 | * TookALevelInKindness: A la {{Backstory}}. |
| 420 | * UnderstandingBoyfriend: Had one of these. Sadly, note the "had". |
| 421 | * [[spoiler: UnexpectedSuccessor: The NEW Captain of Squad One by Rita herself, and [[PassingTheTorch CONFIRMED]] by Yamamoto HIMSELF.]] |
| 422 | ** [[spoiler:Not too unexpected considering Creator/TiteKubo himself has gone on record saying Unohana is next in seniority (even though canonically Kyoraku got the title), but bearing in mind [[GuileHero who is]] [[TheChessmaster running the show here]] it's understandable to think [[WeakButSkilled Lelouch]] would've been promoted instead]]. |
| 423 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Inverted. [[spoiler: Unohana was fracking [[AxCrazy nuts]] when she was young]]. |
| 424 | * YouAreNotAlone: Gets told this when she begins to have doubts about [[spoiler:being the new Captain Commander]]. |
| 425 | |
| 426 | !! Rurichiyo Kasumioji |

| 432 | * [[spoiler:ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Keep within Rhythm, Suzume Enbukyoku']]. |
| 433 | * [[spoiler:DualWielding: Her Zanpakuto's giant fans]]. |
| 434 | * [[spoiler:OhCrap: Sports this when her Zanpakuto Shikai is pierced by [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever a large togabito]] and takes a [[ShockAndAwe Raikoho]] to the face with [[NoSell no impact]]. Rurichiyo [[BringMyBrownPants starts running]]]]. |
| 435 | * RoyalWe: She still has it [[spoiler:even after receiving heavy discipline]]. |
| 436 | * [[spoiler:RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething]] |
| 437 | * [[spoiler:TookALevelInBadass: Rurichiyo? That [[RoyalBrat annoying]] [[BrattyHalfPint little]] blonde from the Amagai Filler arc actually a competent hollow slayer? By the end, she's Hitsugaya's lieutenant in 5th Division.]] |
| 438 | |
| 439 | |
| 440 | !! Sajin Komamura |
| 441 | The canine Captain of Squad 7. [[spoiler: He is killed in the second battle of Karakura Town by Spargga]]. |
| 442 | |
| 443 | * [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]] |
| 444 | * TheWorfEffect: Even worse than in canon. |
| 445 | |
| 446 | !! Sentaro Kotsubaki |
| 447 | The HotBlooded co-3rd seat of Squad 13. [[spoiler: He is killed by the Togabito Zurik]] |
| 448 | |
| 449 | * [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]] |
| 450 | |
| 451 | !! Shuhei Hisagi |
| 452 | 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.]] |
| 453 | |
| 454 | * [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]] |
| 455 | ** [[spoiler: OffWithHisHead]] |
| 456 | |
| 457 | !! Shunsui Kyoraku |
| 458 | The laid back senior captain of Squad 8. |
| 459 | |
| 460 | * AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Reveals this to Uryu after a dangerous drinking game. |
| 461 | * ChewOutFakeOut: He expected a WhatTheHellHero from Lisa because [[spoiler: Nanao died]], but it didn’t happen. |
| 462 | * EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:His Bankai when you don't play by the rules]] |
| 463 | * JustAFleshWound: Says it word for word after his battle with Orin. |
| 464 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: Yuna thinks so after becomng his VC; he's nothing like how she remembers him or what she's heard. Lelouch put's it down to Nanao's death forcing him to start taking his job more seriously.]] |
| 465 | |
| 466 | |
| 467 | !! Tetsuzaemon Iba |
| 468 | The 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]]. |
| 469 | |
| 470 | * {{Flanderisation}}: In canon omakes, he's portrayed as a bofoon in his duties as president of the Shinigami Men's Association; a RunningGag is that Nanao constantly has his budget reduced and given to her, having his manliness crushed in the proccess. Here, he gets fired for implying that he sort of agreed with his squad's sexism, despite the fact that he showed no sign of this to the person who fired him only days before, and was perfectly civil with her then, and with all the other female leiutennants for that matter. |
| 471 | * PrecisionFStrike: While fighting Allon |
| 472 | --> 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! |

| 477 | * ActuallyADoombot: See [[spoiler: FakingTheDead]] below |
| 478 | * 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. |
| 479 | * [[spoiler: AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Momo; before their grudge match with Zurik, he finally confesses how he feels and the two kiss.]] |
| 480 | * AscendedFanboy: Openly supports the phantoms when he starts out as a Soul Reaper in training and eventually becomes one. |
| 481 | * [[spoiler: DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Aizen, during 'Wish Fulfillment'. Subverted, in that he still loses, but puts up a reasonable fight unlike the first time.]] |
| 482 | * EleventhHourRanger: By the time he enters the phantoms, there's not much of the story before their final mission. |

| 486 | * InsultMisfire: [[DumbMuscle Yammy]] is so [[TheDitz stupid]] that Hitsugaya's diverse vocabulary proves ineffective when using an insult to tick him off. |
| 487 | * IShallTauntYou: Uses this as a tactic to get Yammy to fire a cero so Ukitake can deflect it right back. |
| 488 | * 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. |
| 489 | * [[spoiler: OfficialCouple: With Momo]] |
| 490 | * WhatMightHaveBeen: See Trivia; [[spoiler: nearly got KilledOffForReal.]] |
| 491 | |
| 492 | !! Yachiru Kusajishi |
| 493 | The child looking Vice-captain of Squad 11. She calls Lelouch by his in-universe nickname Lulu. Her Zanpakuto is called Okotte Kemono (Mad Beast). [[spoiler:She grows up a little as of ch 142]]. |
| 494 | |
| 495 | * [[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.]] |
| 496 | * BrilliantButLazy: [[spoiler:After she grows up a little]]. |
| 497 | * [[spoiler: ByThePowerOfGrayskull: 'Dash, Okotte Kemono'.]] |
| 498 | * [[spoiler: CutlassBetweenTheTeeth]]: How she fights with Shikai |
| 499 | * RedBaron: Pink Terror |

| 509 | * BerserkButton: The same as in canon, apparently. |
| 510 | * CampStraight: No, ''really''. |
| 511 | * DisproportionateRetribution: See above. |
| 512 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Yumichika points out how hard slimy stains are to get out of black clothing. |
| 513 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:Willing to become the adoptive father to Shisato's son Keiichi as a way to both support her and honor the memory of his best friend Ikkaku.]] |
