10	!! Sosuke Aizen
11	The BigBad of Manga/{{Bleach}} sets himself up as Lelouch's ultimate rival very early on in the series soon becoming his driving antagonist as the two [[XanatosSpeedChess engage in a battle of wit, planning and strategy]] to see who will come out on top. [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Lelouch wins]] and Talbumosuke [[DragonAscendant takes over]] in Aizen's place. [[OhCrap He comes back from Hell and attacks the Soul Society in the Aizen's Revenge arc]] with [[WhamEpisode startling]] [[TheBadGuysWin success]]. Only to later be put back in his place thanks to [[AllPowerfulBystander Rita's influence]]. WordOfGod is that this is not the last we've seen of Aizen]]. His Bankai is called Suishokyoka Kotaisuigetsu (Crystal Mirror Flower, Solid Water Moon).
12
13	%%* AGodAmI:
14	* ArchEnemy: Lelouch. They even explicitly refer to each other as such. [[spoiler:While Lelouch has hated him for years by the time they finally confront one another in the Eye of the Storm arc, things truly did not become personal for Aizen until the Aizen's Revenge arc. The hatred between them runs so deep that during the final battle, Aizen outright admitted that the main reason he switched himself with CC ''just'' as Lelouch was about to stab him was to cause his rival despair]].
15	%%* BigBad: [[spoiler: The True and Final BigBad]].
16	* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Attacking his ego will make this MagnificentBastard [[NotSoStoic lose his cool]].]]
17	* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler:Has CC's code, thus is now immortal, and now has an eternity of perpetual mind-boggling agony to savour. He really should've thought this through...]]
18	* BroughtDownToBadass: Meta; has a reputation in canon as an InvincibleVillain. Here, his game breaking abilities are much less evident. The rest of the cast are quite a bit more competent than their canon counterparts, so his ploys are a lot less jarring in comparison, particularly as he has Lelouch and to a less evident extent Urahara to act as a barometer. On the physical side, he has several close calls in fights and outright loses a few, which would never happen in canon.
19	* CompensatingForSomething: Rita certainly thinks so, given [[spoiler: his fondness for overly large fortresses.]]
20	* CurbStompBattle: He defeats [[spoiler:Yhwach, Stefan, Kenpachi and Kensei with minimal effort. The narration leads us to believe they were all at full power at some point]].
21	* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Lelouch [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu geass' him to commit suicide]] at the end of the Eye of the Storm arc and it works. [[SubvertedTrope Although]], he does wind up becoming the final BigBad in the end]].
22	* TheDragon: [[spoiler: To Kasumi, though really he’s TheStarScream.]]
23	* DrivenToVillainy: After becoming a Soul Reaper and being [[InnocentlyInsensitive rejected]] by Mari, Aizen was taken under [[MagnificentBastard Treva's]] wing. Treva took Aizen's problems and [[ManipulativeBastard picked away at them]] to make Aizen out to be who he is today.
24	* EldritchAbomination:
25	** [[spoiler:Regardless of whether or not his PhysicalGod form qualifies, he apparently has a menagerie of these at his beck and call by the end.]]
26	** [[spoiler: He can change his own form to whatever he wishes.]]
27	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He does not condone the destruction of the Soul Society, but he’s open to ruling it with an iron fist if he’s the one ruling it.
28	%%* EvilMentor: To Talbumosuke
29	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:His ultimate punishment is for him to be cocooned up in circle 9 for the rest of his life. Not even his sentence: his LIFE! Aizen is immortal because of CC’s code. Aizen has already been in circle 9 before and mentioned [[NightmareFuel he once saw his eyes fall out of his own head]]. [[SarcasmMode Have fun, Aizen.]]]] [[SequelHook Though this doesn't stop the possibility of]] [[spoiler: someone being strong enough and dumb enough to free him in the future; it's happened before so it can happen again.]]
30	* GoKartingWithBowser: Despite the fact that he and Lelouch are engaged in a game of XanatosSpeedChess spanning across several decades and despise each other with every fiber of their being, they can still play a friendly game of chess.
31	* HeroKiller: Obvious due to canon, but for this fic this '''[[WhamEpisode really]]''' became the case by killing [[spoiler:Captain-Commander Yamamoto.]]
32	* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:Directly responsible for all the suffering in this fic.]]
33	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Lelouch merges with the Hogyoku and defeats him in the final battle.]]
34	* HumblePie]]: [[spoiler:Directly served by [[spoiler:[[AllPowerfulBystander Rita]]]] in one CurbStompBattle [[spoiler:not in his favor]].
35	* ItsPersonal: While he despises anyone who tramples on his ego and messes with his sense of superiority, the one he truly loathes the most is Lelouch.
36	* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:While not the start of his descent, Mari rejecting his romantic overtures was almost certainly the straw that broke the camel's back. He himself believes this to a extent.]]
37	* NiceJobFixingItVillain:
38	** Aizen's murder of the Central 46 allowed [[spoiler: for Lelouch to be acquitted of his crimes by the remaining captains]].
39	** [[spoiler:His betrayal not only caused the {{Heel Face Turn}}s of Talbumosuke, Mia, and Kasumi, but also ensured the survival of EVERYTHING (had his betrayal never happened, [[TheBadGuyWins Kasumi wins, everything would be eradicated, and]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking she'd be laughing]]).]]
40	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In his youth Aizen was mistrusted because of his immense power and just doing what he could to help others, expecting nothing in return.
41	* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Lelouch ''really'' gets under his skin during their second battle]]. And then of course there's his [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown]].
42	* PetTheDog:
43	** Though really it’s more of Aizen being a ManipulativeBastard as usual, but seeing him [[spoiler: help Nyra out]] still qualifies, despite his ulterior motives.
44	** [[spoiler: Before his official FaceHeelTurn, he stops Vera's self-destruction.]]
45	* PhysicalGod:
46	** [[spoiler:What he becomes after taking the magic he, Kasumi, and the others had stored up and then taking a majority of Kasumi’s powers]].
47	** [[spoiler:In 203 he ups the ante by taking CC's code to become immortal]].
48	* ThePlan: Oh dear. It encompasses TheChessmaster, ManipulativeBastard, BatmanGambit, probably some IndyPloy, and [[spoiler: it all comes together in the final arc; [[GodModeSue Aizen has been manipulating PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE all along, for centuries more than we initially thought.]]]] Who the hell does he think he is!? [[ComicBook/{{Spawn}} Mammon!?]]
49	* {{Revenge}}: The basis of the entire [[spoiler: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Aizen’s Revenge]] arc]].
50	* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:It should come as no surprise that Aizen would hold this position, but just the fact that [[VillainSue he’s put in a position]] [[TheChessmaster where he HAS this position]] is why this is spoiler tagged]].
51	* SuperMode: Played straight with [[spoiler: the final arc, where he becomes a [[Creator/MarvelComics Dormammu]] {{Expy}}. Subverted, in that he himself states he cannot do Core Form.]]
52	* TakingYouWithMe:
53	** In a pinch, he can [[spoiler:cause his Bankai to implode, causing massive damage to his opponent and himself, and he cannot use his zanpakuto for a while afterwards.]]
54	** [[spoiler:His last act after Lelouch defeats him for the third and final time is to blow up the dimension he created to take out the Soul King anyway. Lelouch outright calls him a SoreLoser for this]].
55	* TooCleverByHalf: Aizen's first defeat came about thanks to him underestimating Lelouch's intelligence and/or overestimating his own. End result? [[spoiler:Lelouch geasses him to commit suicide. Aizen takes him far more seriously after that]].
56	* ThirdTimesTheCharm: Lelouch had to beat Aizen three times before it’s obvious he’s not coming back any time soon.
57	* UsedToBeASweetKid: Uhhh, sort of. Aizen wasn't initially a maniacal mastermind, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Just trying to be a nice guy]] but then [[InnocentlyInsensitive Mari broke his heart]] and [[MagnipulativeBastard Treva]] [[BeingGoodSucks got]] [[DrivenToVillainy involved]].
58	* VillainousBreakdown: Twice. First [[spoiler:when Lelouch outright [[{{Troll}} attacks his ego]] and gets Aizen to be NotSoStoic and then later Aizen tries to get under Lelouch's skin and preaches to him about the way the world should be only for Lelouch to refuse to acknowledge him and Aizen is screaming his head off for Lelouch to comment on what he has to say. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Lelouch walks away]]]].
59	* WhamLine: He drops several of them in chapter 204 often trolling the protagonists by stomping on their [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] in the process.
60	* WorthyOpponent: He considers Lelouch his ultimate rival in intellect [[spoiler: [[VillainousBreakdown and is understandably upset]] when Lelouch [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere refuses to acknowledge Aizen]] at the conclusion of their second clash]]. Gets his wish [[spoiler: at the end, when Lelouch can fight on an even keel thanks to the Hogyoku.]]
61	* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler:His most notable ability in BANKAI.]]
62	* YourMom: PlayedForDrama [[spoiler:Grand Fisher didn’t kill Masaki. ''He'' did]].
63
64	!! Talbumosuke Atrumier
65	Talbumosuke is an original character created by the author. The son of the head of the Atrumier family, a lesser noble family underneath the Kuchikis [[spoiler:until the Aizen's Revenge arc to which they stand on their own and his younger sister Senna--[[RunningGag no]] [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not]] [[NonSerialMovie that one]]--takes over]]. Talbumosuke is often called Aizen's Apprentice by the author where, in contrast to Momo, knows full well Aizen's true intentions and studies under the man becoming a sort of backup plan in case Aizen fails. [[spoiler: [[DragonAscendant It turns out]] this was a well conceived plan]]. He has wildly styled black hair and piercing red eyes. He is in love with Mia Arruruerie [[spoiler:and they have a daughter by the name of Kasumi (see below)]]. Talbumosuke's Shikai is called Jikan Kami and his Bankai is called Choro Kami no Jikan to Kukan.
66
67	* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler:He gets on his hands and knees in front of Gin so that he can secure Kasumi’s safety. PapaWolf indeed]].
68	* AnimeHair: Likened to [[Manga/SoulEater Death The Kid]]
69	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership:
70	** Proven in his fight against [[spoiler: Baraggan]].
71	** Further proven with [[spoiler:his #3 rank in HELL. As of the end, with Kasumi's release and Aizen stuck in circle 9 forevermore, he's now the de facto new #1.]].
72	* BadBoss: Toyed with. He is extremely tolerant of failure when compared to other villains, but he doesn't care much about the Espada. [[spoiler: Except for perhaps Mia. He is at the very least [[BenevolentBoss more benevolent]] than Aizen]].
73	* BatmanGambit: He figured Lelouch would try to wear him down, since that's the most logical conclusion against an enemy you have not the knowledge of their abilities, and he holds off on using his most powerful technique and his [[TimeStandsStill time stopping]] technique, which has a recharge period, until Lelouch [[spoiler: summons the Visoreds]], which he knew [[spoiler: would happen because [[FridgeLogic otherwise Shinji would not have come to Hueco Mundo]].]]. And it works.
74	* BenevolentBoss: After some CharacterDevelopment he decides to [[spoiler:[[NobleDemon turn all hollows into arrancar to give them the choice as to whether or not they want to be]] ChaoticEvil [[NobleDemon or not]]]]. This is implied during the arc where he is the BigBad and revealed through his little sister Senna. [[RunningGag No]] [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not that]] [[NonSerialMovie one]].
75	* BerserkButton:
76	** Lelouch's very existence pisses him off. It's extremely justified since Lelouch [[spoiler: Had his house and family executed and [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killed Aizen]]. They [[AssholeVictim deserved it]], most of them]].
77	** [[spoiler:Harm his wife Mia or daughter Kasumi right in front of him. He will let you know how angry he is.]]
78	%%* BigBad: [[spoiler:From Chapters 51-90.]]
79	* CoDragons: [[spoiler:To his daughter Kasumi.]]
80	* CrazyPrepared
81	* DiabolusExMachina: His [[spoiler: transformation into a Resurreccion]] is easily this, but it’s quickly subverted when [[spoiler: Yamamoto proves he still has the upper hand. In the end it didn't matter anyway since he was robbed of that power and shortly after that, though it takes some doing, he dies.]]
82	* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Aizen after Lelouch [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu geasses him to commit suicide]]; some would even consider him a DragonInChief]].
83	%%* DualWielding: While In Bankai.
84	* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: While he and Mia are still denizens of Hell at the end, Kasumi is allowed to visit them, and Rita will make sure they stay a family in their next lives.]]
85	* EmbarrassingNickname: Tally, by way of Gin.
86	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Is this way with him, [[spoiler:Mia, and his daughter Kasumi]].
87	* EvilLaugh: Actually chastises himself for doing one.
88	%%* FaceDeathWithDignity
89	* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: [[spoiler:The fact that Captain Lelouch is guaranteed to survive pre-Zero Requiem is one thing, but the [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil name of the one of the arcs]]? The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fall of Talbumosuke]].]]
90	* FailureKnight: [[spoiler:Feels this way towards his infantile daughter and Mia. It comes back full circle when he finds out that Kasumi ''is'' his daughter and all the FridgeHorror that comes with it]].
91	* AFatherToHisMen: In contrast to Aizen, Talbumosuke gets along quite well with the espada.
92	%%* FromNobodyToNightmare
93	* GiveHimANormalLife: [[spoiler: What he says he thinks he accomplished with his daughter. Turns out he failed. Kasumi ''is'' his daughter]].
94	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Final Arc. Watch as he drops the UndyingLoyalty to Aizen and takes him on directly for [[PapaWolf backstabbing Kasumi]]]].
95	* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Congratulates Lelouch for defeating him before he dies.]]
96	* IgnoreTheFanservice: Averted. When Mia asks if there’s anything else he’d rather do than plot against Lelouch, he realizes the subtle hints she’s giving and they start having sex.
97	* IShallTauntYou: Does this to [[BullyingADragon Lelouch]] knowing that he knows better than to [[LeeroyJenkins charge blindly]] so he takes the opportunity to stomp on one of Lelouch’s [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]].
98	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: He's Kasumi's father.]]
99	* KickTheDog: After he [[spoiler: blows up the replica of Masaki’s grave]] he then [[IShallTauntYou rubs it in Ichigo’s face]]. [[UnstoppableRage Ichigo doesn’t respond kindly]].
100	* KillItWithFire: His Shinseina Honoo.
101	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler: The Rescue Orihime arc; he knows he's beaten and rather than lose more than he already has (like Nelliel, one of his more loyal Espada) trying to get her back, lets her leave Hueco Mundo without much argument.]]
102	* LetsGetDangerous: His Zencho no Sozo makes him as strong, fast and tough, as he could possibly be, but [[EquivalentExchange he can't use any other abilities unless he dispels it]].
103	* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Not protecting his daughter from the Kushanada]].
104	* MyMasterRightOrWrong: He has UndyingLoyalty towards Aizen[[spoiler:, however there was one notable event where [[PapaWolf he strongly disapproves him if he gets his hands on his daughter]].]]
105	* MythologyGag: His Bankai is like this with regards to his [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Tales of]] Manga/{{Bleach}}: [[FanFic/TalesOfBleachUnrealSociety Blades of Destiny]] [[AGodAmI incarnation]].
106	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:In one of the last moments of the Battle of Karakura Town, he winds up destroying the [[OhCrap grave of Masaki Kurosaki]]. Ichigo gets so enraged he unlocks his own Resurreccion.]]
107	* NobleDemon[[spoiler:: As told through his sister Senna, Talbumosuke wanted to make ALL the Hollows in Hueco Mundo Arrancars to give them Free Will. BenevolentBoss indeed.]]
108	* NoSell:
109	** One of the powers of his Shikai has the ability to reverse the flow of time on an object, but not a soul. In Bankai he can coat himself in this ability to make himself immune to time altering effects. [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Now what use is that]]? Weeeeell he uses it to [[spoiler: [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Nullify Baraggan’s Respira]]. And then proceeds, once protected, to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu beat the man to death]] using the rest of his Zanpakuto’s power]]
110	** In Chapter 75 he, without knowing exactly what the Geass is, manages to nullify its power because he knows that Lelouch needs to have direct eye contact with his enemy so he creates lenses similar to Lelouch’s own using the [[RealityWarper Hogyoku]].
111	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Once [[spoiler: Aizen was defeated]] people both in-universe and out thought that the war with the arrancar would be a walk in the park. They were wrong. They were very very wrong.
112	* OhCrap:
113	** The reaction elicited from [[spoiler: Urahara, Yamamoto, Ukitake and Lelouch]] when Talbumosuke [[spoiler: knocks out Shunsui]].
114	** This is also the reaction Talbumosuke himself had when [[spoiler: Urahara escaped his Kura Keimusho by using his [[ActuallyADoombot portable Gigai]]]].
115	* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:This quote said it best, "What kind of father would I be if I didn't protect my only daughter?" Why is this in spoilers? [[TheReveal Because he said this to the Number One Togabito, Kasumi]]. In fact he makes a HeelFaceTurn because of this trope. He will also choose his daughter over Aizen, who treated him like a son, any day of the week]].
116	* PersonOfMassDestruction:
117	** He [[spoiler: punched out Shunsui]], [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killed Baraggan]]]] and [[spoiler: [[TheWorfEffect worfed the Visoreds]]]].
118	** [[spoiler: Hisana]] and [[spoiler: Byakuya]] are on the list of injured persona.
119	* PetTheDog: Comforts Loly when [[spoiler: Mia dies]].
120	* PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler: When using hollowfication powers]].
121	* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:Causes a DiabolusExMachina]].
122	%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
123	* ShootTheMedicFirst: ''Damn this guy knows what he’s doing''. He imprisons Orihime in a prism so that she cannot move, effectively taking her out of the fight. However since her life is not in danger it doesn’t hammer at Ichigo’s BerserkButton. However, it gives him the advantage that, if [[KilledOffForReal someone dies]], [[BackFromTheDead they will]] [[AvertedTrope stay dead]].
124	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: After [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu defeating Baraggan]] the hollow king's skull drops into Talbumosuke's hand]]. Talbumosuke then recites the same line from ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' that Lelouch did after defeating Maki Ichinose.
125	* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Blocks an attack meant for Kasumi]].
126	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[spoiler: With Lelouch as of the last arc.]]
127	* ThisCannotBe:
128	** Averted in one omake and played straight in entirely another.
129	** Outright Averted and defied by Talbumosuke in the normal chapters and he lampshades it when he makes [[spoiler: Baraggan]] do it.
130	* ThisIsUnforgivable: See the last entry in [[spoiler: UndyingLoyalty below]].
131	* TimeMaster: the power of his Zanpakuto
132	%%* TimeStandsStill
133	* TogetherInDeath:
134	** [[spoiler: With Mia]]. [[ThrowTheDogABone Give the guy some dignity after what he suffered.]] They were separated off screen, he finds her only to find out she's pregnant, only to lose her again after the child is born, [[RuleOfThree only to find her yet again]].
135	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Coffee
136	* TragicVillain:
137	** [[spoiler:Sure most of his family and his mentor Aizen were {{Asshole Victim}}s but his devotion and loyalty to them was so unparalleled that when Lelouch took it all away [[DespairEventHorizon he was all alone]]. While he was still planning to fight and defeat Lelouch, his heart was closed off to everyone except to (eventually) Mia. When he found out that Mia died in the second Battle of Karakura Town, [[UnstoppableRage his reaction]] was justified. When he dies, [[GracefulLoser he congratulates Lelouch for his victory]] and [[FaceDeathWithDignity personally hopes that he can reunite with his lover]]. Lelouch himself realized that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero he drove him]] [[CreateYourOwnVillain to become this]] and wished for his happiness in the next life.]]
138	** [[spoiler:Even in Hell his life got worse, after finding Mia the second time it was revealed that she is pregnant and had a daughter unfortunately the Kushanada not only separated them but were planning to corrupt or destroy her, so out of pure desperation he created a portal to attempt to send her out of Hell.]] Another similarity to Lelouch was created[[spoiler:, they were both denied of Fatherhood but unlike Lelouch he still has a chance with his original daughter Kasumi.]]
139	* {{Troll}}: When he feels like it, he can really push a person's BerserkButton; [[spoiler: Lelouch over Yuna's death and how much he's underestimated him during the Battle of Fake Karakura, and Aizen when the latter pulls his power grab (again...) Tally stalls him to allow Kasumi and Mia to escape, and has the gall to piss on Aizen's ego as a parting shot, knowing that due to his Time Stop abilities, Aizen can't stop him. Aizen did not take it well.]]
140	* UndyingLoyalty: To Aizen. [[spoiler: Though it’s subverted during the revenge arc when Talbumosuke states that he [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes must find Mia]] because they were separated. He does wish Aizen luck though. It’s ultimately deconstructed in the final arc after Aizen [[ThisIsUnforgivable harms Kasumi]]. [[PapaWolf Talbumosuke drops the loyalty and fights Aizen as any good parent would]].]]
141	* UnstoppableRage: {{Invoked}} when [[spoiler:Mia dies in the Second Battle of Karakura Town]].
142	* UnskilledButStrong: Though he works hard to fix the unskilled part it only goes as far as his battle technique. He can't plan worth crap in comparison to [[TheChessmaster Le]][[WeakButSkilled louch]]. While that served him well in round one, when he had the element of surprise against the Soul Society his AttackAttackAttack strategy [[spoiler: with the Segunda Etapas]] really didn’t go over too well once Lelouch had his thoughts and tactics nailed down and ultimately [[spoiler: he was beaten because of his lack of foresight and let Gin get the drop on him]].
143
144	!! Takeno Konda
145	The lead judge of the Central Forty Six after their reformation after their predecessors were killed by Aizen. While it is the entire Central Forty Six is more or less Lelouch's enemy in the Lelouch and the Law arc, it is Takeno who serves as the BigBad and faces off against Lelouch in court.
146
147	* ManipulativeBastard: Tries to get [[spoiler:Orihime]] to discredit Lelouch [[MagnificentBastard because of]] [[ManipulativeBastard who he]] [[NobleDemon is]]
148	* VillainousBreakdown: In a way that only an arc that brings out the Courtroom hijinks found in the VisualNovel/AceAttorney series can provide.
149
150
151	!! Muramasa
152	A wandering Zanpakuto with the special ability to free other Zanpakuto from their masters and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy turn them against their wielders]]. His desire is to create rebellion and create a world where it is the Zanpakuto that control the Soul Reapers. As it stands Muramasa killed his own wielder [[spoiler: [[ILied Or not]]. His wielder was sealed, so Muramasa [[KansasCityShuffle orchestrated the rebellion so he could find the seal and undo it]].]]
153
154	* BadBoss: Destroys Loly and Menoly's Zanpakuto after he uses them to off their wielders. Possibly justified in that he doesn't fully understand arrancar fully.
155	%%* FaceDeathWithDignity
156	* KnightOfCerebus: Okay yeah the series was already pretty serious once the Eye of the Storm arc kicked off and [[spoiler: Talbumosuke took the stage and proved to be a very effective villain]], but the author jacked up the drama and the heartstring pulling when the Reapers and Heralds arc started. [[spoiler: Not to mention the [[TearJerker brutal beating Yachiru received]] and [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten Byakuya's]] [[KillTheOnesYouLove Loyalty Test]].]]
157	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: His separation of Lelouch and Eien Tamashi later comes to have the result of [[spoiler: Lelouch mastering his geass]].
158	* YouRemindMeOfX: Thinks this of [[spoiler: Lelouch]] in regards to his master [[spoiler: Koga]].
159
160	!! Shuren Kenzo
161	A Togabito. He is #188. He wishes to escape from hell. Wields the magic Book of Volcarona. Without the book he is only as strong as #200.
162
163	* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: Of the Different Bonds arc. Unlike the movie where he was a BigBadWannabe, Shuren and Kokuto are working together]].
164	* EpicFail: He tries to incinerate Ichigo with a lava geyser, but the atmosphere is so cold that the geyser freezes solid. Shuren [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] his stupidity.
165	* KillItWithFire: Fire burn and fire roar. Total destruction from mountain to shore. [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Sounds vaguely familiar]].
166	* SummoningArtifact: For DemBones.
167	* TomeOfEldritchLore: The Book of Volcarona.
168	* VillainDecay: He was a very competent BigBad[[spoiler:[[BigBadDuumvirate Duumvirate]]]] in the Different Bonds arc, but in the [[spoiler: Aizen’s Revenge]] arc when he tries to get revenge [[spoiler: Mari]] fells him with a single blow.
169
170	!! Kokuto [[spoiler: Shapikni]]
171	A Togabito. He is #187. His only weapons are the [[ChainedByFashion chains used to bind him]] and a [[CoolSword black blade]]. [[spoiler: Susanna is his sister]].
172
173	* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: Of the Different Bonds arc. Unlike the movie, Kokuto and Shuren are working together]].
174	* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:With some IncestSubtext thrown in if you read between the lines]]
175	* MySisterIsOffLimits: To everyone and everything. Kokuto will let not a single person [[spoiler: get anywhere near his sister]].
176	* ThePlan: [[spoiler:He and Shuren arrange everything to ensure that Ichigo will go into his ultimate hollow mode]].
177
178
179	!! Hollow Ichigo
180	[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The Hollow inside]] [[SupportingProtagonist Kurosaki Ichigo]]. Wants to take total control over his "King" and take that spot from him. The antagonist of the Demon Within arc.
181
182	%%* TheBerserker
183	%%* BloodKnight
184	* CurbstompBattle: The only people that are not on the receiving end on this against him [[spoiler: when he goes into his OneWingedAngel form]] are [[spoiler: Kasumi and Yamamoto.]]
185	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Sort of. While Ichigo [[spoiler: [[CurbStompBattle got his clock cleaned against]] Hollow Ichigo it was [[spoiler: [[HeroicWillpower his resolve]]]] that [[spoiler: was able to restrain Hichigo’s immense power and hold him in place]]. Hichigo tells Ichi that because of [[spoiler: his HeroicWillpower]] if Ichigo [[spoiler: still rejects Hichi’s power]] that Hichi will simply [[spoiler: boost his natural abilities]].
186	* DemonicPossession: Doesn't take a brain surgeon to know of who.
187	%%* EnemyWithin
188	* HealingFactor: His [[spoiler: Resurreccion]] allows him for high speed regeneration
189	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: He takes out Ichigo (in his inner world), [[ZenSurvivor Ashido]], [[MasterSwordsman Stefan]], [[ImplacableMan Kenpachi]], [[AssholeVictim Gin, Mayuri]] and [[BewareTheNiceOnes Unohana]] in record time]]. He also comes heartpoundingly close to [[spoiler: killing Yamamoto]], but [[spoiler: Ichigo's HeroicWillpower puts a stop to it]].
190	%%* ImplacableMan:
191	* IShallTauntYou: He antagonizes Ichigo quite often to get him riled up. It's quite effective.
192	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:It is only by telling Kasumi about his skill in the Wish Fulfillment arc that we know that Shirosaki is officially dead.]]
193	* LaughingMad: This guy could give ComicBook/TheJoker a run for his money.
194	* NighInvulnerability: [[spoiler:Between his HealingFactor and ridiculously tough hierro, he becomes [[ImplacableMan very difficult to injure.]]]]
195	* NoIAmBehindYou: Is very fond of pulling this tactic [[spoiler: While in his [[OneWingedAngel ultimate]] form since his sonido is so fast he slips right through his opponent’s reiatsu and gets behind them]].
196	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:That form used in Manga/{{Bleach}} canon when Ichigo [[CurbStompBattle rips the mess]] out of Ulquiorra's Segunda Etapa.]]
197	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Anytime Ichigo goes into [[spoiler: his [[OneWingedAngel Berserk Rage Hollow]] form]] that's [[spoiler:[[DemonicPossession possessing]] [[spoiler: him]]. It's got about as much NighInvulnerability as, if not more than, [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry2 Dante's Majin form]]
198	%%* SuperPoweredEvilSide:
199	* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: A battle technique. Used it once to [[spoiler: [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impale]] Yamamoto.]]
200	* TooPowerfulToLive: [[spoiler:If he was still around when Kasumi was the antagonist [[DeathSeeker her original wish]] may come true. He may even defeat Aizen when he became the final BigBad.]]
201	* UnskilledButStrong: While [[DemonicPossession taking possession]] of Ichigo and using [[spoiler: his [[OneWingedAngel berserk rage]] form.]] According to WordOfGod, this could be subverted if Ichigo [[spoiler: becomes sentient while using said form]]. There were hints of this when [[spoiler: Talbumosuke did the same thing]].

203	!! Kugo Ginjo
204	A Fullbringer that is [[LateArrivalSpoiler also a former Substitute Soul Reaper]]. He is the leader of the Xcution group. [[spoiler: He stopped working for the Soul Society because they wouldn’t stop Natsumi, the soul Reaper that gave him his powers, and his mother, from being killed by the Inked Alliance. He cut his ties with the Soul Society and ceased doing his job. He swore vengeance on Ukitake]]. His Fullbring is the Cross of Scaffold. The necklace used to manifest his fullbring used to belong to his father.
205
206	%%* BigBad: Of the Fullbringer arc.
207	* DisappearedDad: Ginjo's father passed away when he was young, though this doesn't affect Ginjo as much as Masaki's passing affects Ichigo.
208	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: [[spoiler: Why did he have a grudge against Soul Society? Because they didn't help out in stopping the Inked Alliance from killing his mom and girlfriend, who was also a FORMER SHINIGAMI.]]
209	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Suffers this after the death of Natsumi and his Mom.]]
210	* LateArrivalSpoiler: In [[Manga/{{Bleach}} canon]] the fact that he's a former Substitute Soul Reaper is a big surprise, but here this fact is mentioned two whole arcs before Ginjo even gets any screen time. This is, of course, due to the fact that Lelouch has [[ShownTheirWork done his homework]]
211	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Against the Inked Alliance as they killed his mom and his lover]].
212	%%* StartOfDarkness:
213	* TeamDad: Seems to have a role like this given how he’s much older than any of the other fullbringers and he tells Yukio twice not to play his game at the dining table during breakfast.
214	* TookALevelInJerkass: Ginjo was a pretty cool guy until [[spoiler: Natsumi and his mother’s death]].
215	* WellIntentionedExtremist
216
217	!! [[spoiler:General-in-chief Albert Q. Anerdas]]
218	[[spoiler:The General-In-Chief (preceding Cornelia) of Britannia’s Royal Army]]. The Leader of the Inked Alliance and BigBad of Cornelia's entire story mode. [[spoiler:Cornelia kills him at point blank range with her cool gun]].
219
220	%%* BigBad: Of Cornelia's entire story mode.
221	* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:In a very literal sense, he has absolute authority over the Britannian army so NO ONE can defy him, and he can arrange the board how he sees fit because of it]].
222	%%* TheDragon: His is [[spoiler:Lieutenant General Marshall Evans]].
223	* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:He is in charge of the Inked Alliance.]]

229	* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:He has scar tissue by his right eye where he supposedly took a grenade explosion to the face and lived to tell about it]].
230	* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Believes that constantly having a threat will keep soldiers on edge and the people happy. Cornelia and her gun beg to differ]].
231
232	!! [[spoiler:Zero]]
233	[[spoiler: The hollow form of the 99th Emperor of Britannia. He is Captain of Squad 10, Lamperouge Lelouch ''before'' Lelouch is [[FishOutOfTemporalWater flung back in time]]. He starts off as a normal hollow, but is later [[YouWillBeAssimilated absorbed]] by the Vasdo Lordes Scourge and then hive minds the body and becomes the dominant mind, [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity but at a great cost to his psyche]]. Now he is a being completely driven by vengeance and he is stated to be [[OhCrap just as powerful as Lelouch]]. However, it is a ForegoneConclusion that Lelouch will defeat him in order to [[StableTimeLoop stabilize the time stream]]]].
234
235	* TheAssimilator: Played straight at first to where he absorbs 25 hollows, but then inverted [[YouWillBeAssimilated when he is assimilated by Scourge]] and then takes over the main body due to his superior intellect.
236	%%* BigBad: Of the [[spoiler:Double Zero arc]].
237	* CastingAShadow: His primary powers.
238	%%* DarkIsEvil
239	* EvilLaugh: Prone to these rather [[LaughingMad frequently]].
240	* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:[[HeroProtagonist Lelouch]] [[GuileHero Lamperouge]] is to defeat him when he goes to attack Kallen]].
241	* LargeHam: [[spoiler:Somehow even more so than when he was alive]].
242	* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:His motive for everything he does]].
243	* VillainProtagonist
244	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[YouWillBeAssimilated After being absorbed by Scourge]] he becomes the dominant mind within the Vasdo Lordes, only for the same phenomena that happened to Miyako Shiba, which created Mia Arruruerie, to afflict him as well and he loses most of his integrity and conscience and simply becomes a being wracked with vengeance. [[spoiler: It is literally stated that he is naught but the darkness within the 99th Emperor]].
245	* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Kaname Ohgi's baby Maria; technically Kaguya and Nunnally count too.]]
246	* YouWillBeAssimilated:

248	** Continually played straight as he continues to devour other souls.
249
250	!! Kasumi [[spoiler:Atrumier]]
251	A togabito wearing a white mantle that appears before Ichigo to help get vengeance on Kokuto and Shuren. She is [[spoiler: [[TheReveal the strongest Togabito in hell and the daughter of Talbumosuke Atrumier and Mia Arruruerie]]. Her Zanpakuto is called 'Manakama' (True Companion). Her Bankai is 'Manakama, Zenmen-tekina Shien'. (True Companion, full support). She is now the new captain of squad 2.]]
252
253	[[http://numberonetogabito.tumblr.com/ Has a tumblr account. Including an illustration.]]
254
255	* TheAce: Learned very quickly under [[spoiler: Zurik, Codex and Rita]]. Most of of her subsequent successes are based on her own merit.
256	* AffablyEvil: “Yeah, I’ll help you find your friends, but only if I get to keep the TomeOfEldritchLore the current BigBad has. By the way, I’m also going to threaten your miserable lives one of these days. Oh and did I mention [[spoiler: I’m the most powerful Togabito in hell]]?”
257	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:[[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains A combination of types]] [[NobleDemon I]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds II]], and definitely [[CryForTheDevil the most sympathetic antagonist of the series]].]]
258	* ArchEnemy: Mainly Rita [[spoiler: they make up later]], and earlier Zurik. Now [[spoiler: Aizen]].
259	%%* TheAssimilator:
260	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Her ID#? [[spoiler: NUMBER ONE!]]
261	* BadassBoast: When giving her [[YouAreNumberSix ID#]].
262	--> '''Kasumi''': [[spoiler: If I want to see some action, I gotta be the center off attraction. Make sure that you got your eyes on me before I pluck them out and kill you with glee. Be the focus of attention, kill you so my name will not be mentioned. I come up from the shadows just to shine cause the time is right for you to see me. I am what you're running for and I'm the one they all abhor. I am better than everyone. The undisputed, Number One]].
263	* BerserkButton: Remind her about the betrayals she experienced [[spoiler:and of being a SexSlave]] and consider your life forfeit.
264	* BigBad: Of the Final arcs. [[spoiler: [[TheStarscream Then Aizen assumes the role for the GrandFinale True Chessmaster arc]]]].
265	* BigEater: [[spoiler: As she's 1/4 Hollow, she has Hollow regeneration. The downside to this is that she has a stupidly high metabolic rate to power it; [[IAmAHumanitarian her need to eat has added to her sentence considerably]].]]
266	* BlackEyesOfEvil: This is a result of using her [[MegaManning Lotus]] [[YouWillBeAssimilated System]] on a Togabito named Zankuro. [[spoiler:As if to reinforce this trope she loses them when Aizen takes her power and she winds up making a HeelFaceTurn]].
267	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Kasumi used to actually enjoy living in hell, mostly because she knew no other life. [[RapeAsDrama Then she got raped]] and [[ChildByRape pregnant]]. [[DarkAndTroubledPast And other things]]]].
268	* BrokenAce: [[spoiler: Considering how much she suffered while getting there...]]
269	%%* BrokenBird
270	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: [[spoiler:'Aid me in my hour of need, Manakama' and 'Bankai, Manakama, Zenmen-tekina Shien'.]]
271	* ChainedByFashion: She’s a Togabito. They all have this.
272	* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:She carries one after her [[RapeAsBackstory unending gang rape]].]]
273	* CurbstompBattle:
274	** Rips apart the [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever gigantic monster]] that attacks her and Ichigo in circle six. [[spoiler: Later does the same thing to his overpowered hollow form]]
275	** Did this to most of the former top 20 togabito.
276	** [[spoiler: Attacks Ichigo in his dream realm, thinking he can finally kill her, but he won't use his ressureccion, resulting in another win. Unohana is a downplayed example; she makes Kasumi use Shikai, but is overpowered when she does. If it weren't for Rita, she'd have been KilledOffForReal. [[CurbstompCushion However both DID put up a better fight than most]]]].
277	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Kasumi was [[spoiler: born in hell. She was a small baby and though she had committed no sin she was taken by the Kushanada. Zurik eventually found her and taught her a few things only for it to come to light that he was using her. Kasumi ran from him and found and honed her skills before returning to confront Zurik and stole most of his powers for herself. Afterwards she began to [[SelfMadeWoman raise herself]] to fight and defend herself. She committed sin just to survive and because of that she can never escape hell. She’s been [[RapeAsBackstory raped]] and used as a SexSlave to the [[ChildByRape point of impregnation]] and then she [[OffingTheOffspring killed the child]]. She’s been killed time and again by the Kushanada, and has fought for her life and survival for an unknown amount of years, but has been stated to be more than 2000. Kasumi is ''the'' strongest sinner in hell. All of her abilities are self-taught from utilizing the reishi in her own body to stealing and absorbing ancient artifacts inside Hell to [[MegaManning taking them from other sinners for her own use]]. She even has her own Zanpakuto. Aizen even notes that she is quite a dangerous fighter. All Kasumi really wants though is [[DeathSeeker to be allowed to die and be reincarnated in the real world]], or at the very least be allowed to escape the [[ChainedByFashion chains that bind her]]. She’s not evil, [[AntiVillain not deep down]]. She just wants the world to hate her so she can be killed and possibly die for real]].
278	* DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler:[[DarkAndTroubledPast Not by choice however.]]]]
279	* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Her life has been so miserable that deep down, she just wants to die. She thought Ichigo is the one capable of giving her peace at last, but [[SpannerInTheWorks he failed to reach a level of ability she suspected he would]].
280	* DespairEventHorizon: Kasumi was really never the same after [[spoiler: [[RapeAsDrama she was raped]] [[SexSlave over and over]] to the point of [[ChildByRape impregnation]]]]. Her RoaringRampageOfRevenge after the incident should indicate such. While many might think she crossed it after [[spoiler: Rita revealed she was born in hell as an innocent]], Kasumi was already a little over the edge before then.
281	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: First does this to a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant monster]] and then later [[spoiler: Ichigo's overpowered hollow form]]. [[SubvertedTrope But then again]] [[AlwaysABiggerFish she herself is a Cthulhu.]]
282	* EnemyMine:
283	** Joins up with Ichigo, but tells him its only temporary.[[spoiler: Later it becomes more genuine.]]
284	** [[spoiler: Later does it with ma and pa to get revenge on Aizen.]]
285	* {{Expy}}: Of a character in the author's other work; [[spoiler: she's the captain of squad 12 and Tally's daughter in that, leading to a potential WalkingSpoiler.]]
286	* FinalBossPreview: [[spoiler:She is the strongest Togabito in all of hell and she promises Ichigo that they’ll be enemies the next time they meet. She is seen to be so fast that she manages to take out a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant monster]] that had Ichigo [[BringMyBrownPants scared out of his wits]] and she also [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu defeats his overpowered hollow form]]]].
287	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:Far longer duration than Lelouch. Lelouch was brought up before the Turn Back The Pendulum arc. Kasumi was brought up BEFORE the Gotei 13 was founded.]]
288	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
289	** When she and Ichigo first meet she tells Ichigo that she's suffered much more than he has. This sounds like just the anger of the average Togabito [[FateWorseThanDeath considering the hell they put up with day in and day out]], but then her DarkAndTroubledPast is revealed. She has ''every right to complain''.
290	** A lot of foreshadowing to her backstory was dropped here and there coupled with a bit of HarsherInHindsight. For example: In chapter 134 Lelouch makes the comment that he couldn’t think of a worse fate than [[spoiler:not knowing one's parents and growing up hungry and alone]]. In chapter 145 Meredith notes that [[spoiler: an Inked Alliance victim she once rescued killed herself after she was [[SexSlave used as a semen deposit]] [[ChildByRape to the point of pregnancy]] something Kasumi would’ve done if she [[ICannotSelfTerminate had the ability]]]].
291	** From her first appearance she is described as being 3/4 Soul Reaper and 1/4 Hollow. [[spoiler:Mia gave birth to such a child of whom Talbumosuke is the father.]] Add a little [[spoiler:FishOutOfTemporalWater]] and eventually comes TheReveal that she is [[spoiler:The daughter of Talbumosuke and Mia]].
292	%%* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou:
293	* FriendlyEnemy: [[spoiler:Sees [[SupportingProtagonist Ichigo Kurosaki]] as one.]]
294	* GivenNameReveal: Averted; [[spoiler: Orihime's Geass allows her to see Kasumi's real name, but she's taken out before she can reveal it. We later find out her name though, through her father: Talbumosuke]].
295	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: She did not take [[spoiler: being told that she was born in hell and thereby born innocent]] very well.
296	* HalfHumanHybrid: We know she is part hollow and part Soul Reaper because she's [[spoiler:the offspring of Talbumosuke and Mia]].
297	* HatesBeingTouched:
298	** If her slapping away what was going to be a hand of affection from Rita or Ichigo, on instinct, is any indication. [[spoiler:[[JustifiedTrope Justified considering her betrayals and that she was once a]] SexSlave.]]
299	** It eventually evolves into a factor of IfItsYouItsOkay between her and [[spoiler:Ichigo. Talbumosuke and Mia also earn it.]]
300	* HealingFactor: As a part hollow, she heals quickly from injuries in the rare instances that someone is strong enough to actually hurt her. This has problems though a) she has a overactive metabolism and needs to eat frequently, which has lead to her sentence being rather longer than it needed to be due to cannibalism in her younger days (she can now conjour her own food), and b) according to WordOfGod (Kasumi's tumblr account, specifically), she cannot regrow detached limbs like a full hollow can; she'd need surgery before it can pick up the slack. Still, this combined with her innate toughness makes her possibly the best tank in the series; [[spoiler: Hollow Ichigo's healing and Rita's durability are superior, but each lack the other's power; Kasumi of course has both. Ichigo would be better than her if he used his hollow powers. He won't.]]
301	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After [[TheStarscream Aizen]] takes over and becomes the true BigBad, Kasumi switches sides to take him down. She is eventually welcomed into the Gotei 13 as Stefan's replacement as squad 2 captain.]].
302	* HellOnEarth: [[spoiler:Plan B.]]
303	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:[[AntiVillain She may be a very sympathetic version of this]], but damn, there’s a reason all of hell fears her. Also she’s managed to not only defeats Ichigo and Unohana, but also her warden and former mentor Rita though not completely unscathed]].
304	* IAmAHumanitarian:
305	** She’s absorbed the lifeblood of many Togabito to [[MegaManning make herself more powerful]]. [[spoiler: Including the entire top twenty prior to her taking the number one spot]].
306	** [[spoiler:She ate other togabito when she was younger to survive]].
307	* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler:All togabito suffer from this, but it’s a particularly notable example with Kasumi because she [[spoiler:[[DeathSeeker wants to die]] so she tries to extort this out of Ichigo or Unohana]].
308	* {{Irony}}:
309	** [[spoiler:Rescued by the one person who she promised to be enemies with, Ichigo Kurosaki as the Mysterious Hooded Soul Reaper.]]
310	** [[spoiler: The name of her Zanpakuto [[IJustWantToHaveFriends is something she truly wants to experience]] Manakama. If it wasn't for all the betrayal she experienced she might have that for real. By the end, it could be argued she does; she now knows who her parents are, she can count on Ichigo (and presumably Orihime) for support, she's settled her differences with Rita, and now works alongside Unohana, her child's reincarnation.]]
311	* KillTheGod: [[spoiler:Plan C. It is mainly this part of the plan where [[TheStarscream Aizen would most likely betray her]].]]
312	* LetsGetDangerous: Lotus System Bypass: Level: [[spoiler:One. Just ask Rita. Though Kasumi admits it'd be no match for Rita's Core Form.]]
313	* LotusEaterMachine: [[spoiler:Plan A. Fails by her standards.]]
314	* MacGuffin: Has two; the Lotus System and the Book of Volcarona.
315	* MegaManning: The Lotus System, which used to allow Kasumi to absorb other Togabito and take their power. Now she’s only able to use the powers she’s already taken since it overloaded when she [[spoiler:fought the previous number one because he used it against her as well]].
316	* MythologyGag: When giving her [[YouAreNumberSix ID#]] Kasumi spurts lines from the Bleach OST [[spoiler: Number One]].
317	* NecessarilyEvil: [[spoiler:She’s committed sin, though born innocent, just to survive. And she purposely becomes an antagonist in order to be able to [[DeathSeeker embrace death]]]].
318	* NoNameGiven: It’s quickly subverted at the end of the 110th chapter after her appearance in 109.
319	* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:Kasumi murders her ChildByRape right after its born; it eventually becomes Retsu Unohana]].
320	* OnlyFriend: [[spoiler:Her Zanpakuto, Manakama. Codex is a downplayed example; while she doesn't consider him a friend per se, she has significantly more respect for him than anyone else.]] She also [[spoiler: befriends [[FriendlyEnemy Ichigo]]]].
321	* PetTheDog: Kasumi [[spoiler: willingly takes the sin chains that Kokuto has placed upon Ichigo’s friends into her own body. Though of course Ichigo already ceroed off 25 years so she profits]].
322	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Evident from chapter 187 which details her conquest of [[spoiler:how she became the number one]]
323	* ThePlan: Aizen's been doing this for centuries. Kasumi's been doing it for ''Millenia''.
324	* ThePowerOfTheSun: [[spoiler:Her Shikai’s primary ability]].
325	* RapeAndRevenge: [[spoiler:She avenges her own rape.]]
326	* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:[[MadeASlave And as a]] SexSlave.]]
327	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: She goes on a killing spree after Togabito who [[spoiler:[[RapeAsBackstory raped her]] [[SexSlave to the point of]] [[ChildByRape impregnation]]]].
328	* SelfMadeWoman: With the exception of her early years [[spoiler:, under Zurik and Codex,]] Kasumi can place her climb to the top completely in her own skill and ability.
329	* SexSlave: [[spoiler:In her backstory she is this at one point, complete with SlaveCollar]].
330	* SleepCute: [[spoiler: Ichigo thinks so. After always having to sleep with one eye open for so long, she ends up nodding off in his lap. He's a little taken aback how at peace she is.]]
331	* StoryBreakerPower: [[MegaManning The Lotus System]][[spoiler:, gained while trying to recover from being a SexSlave,]] allows her to absorb the powers and energies of her enemies [[spoiler:to become the Number One Togabito.]] Currently she is only able to use the powers she already has [[spoiler:since it was used against her at the same time she used it and overloaded the system]].
332	* TokenEvilTeammate: When she is introduced in the Different Bonds arc.
333	* WalkingSpoiler: Her [[spoiler:rank and role as the final BigBad]] is one thing[[spoiler:, her identity, [[DarkAndTroubledPast backstory]], plans, and [[DeathSeeker goals for her role]]]] is another.
334	* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Discussed between her and [[spoiler:Ichigo]] when she thinks she likes him.
335	* WhatTheHellHero:
336	** [[spoiler:Yells at Ichigo for not embracing his dark power because she was banking on it so that he could use it against her and [[DeathSeeker kill her]]]].
337	** [[spoiler: She also gave Rita a good what for regarding her being born innocent; she did get to whack her one, millenia later, as payback]].
338	* WhenSheSmiles: [[spoiler:As stated by Ichigo]]
339	--> [[spoiler:'''Ichigo''': When you smile like that, it really shows your true colors]].
340	* WhoWantsToLiveForever
341	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Her hatred towards Rita stems from Rita having the perceived opportunity to stop it, but never did]]. Justification seems highly plausible.
