Ukitake's entry:
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:He sacrifices himself to allow Mimihagi to replace the dying Soul King... which is quickly absorbed by the Soul King's slayer, Yhwach. The only long-term result is making the BigBad even stronger than before]].

There is no story build-up here. Aside from two ambiguous, foreshadowing scenes that indicate Ukitake is up to something, there is absolutely no story build-up and no prior reference to anything like Mimihagi existing. In two simple scenes, Ukitake releases and explains Mimihagi and begins to die, everyone acknowledges Mimihagi can stabilise the world for only as long as Ukitake's dying reiatsu exists (no-one expects that to be for very long), Mimihagi stabilises the world for only a few moments before Yhwach absorbs him, and Ukitake dies.

Ukitake's explanation is as follows: he contracted his fatal, incurable lung disease at the age of three. His parents begged a divine being (Mimihagi) to save Ukitake. Mimihagi did not cure Ukitake. He agreed to delay Ukitake's death and act as Ukitake's lungs in return for Ukitake's understanding that this was temporary; one day the Soul King would die, and Mimihagi would need to be released in response, killing Ukitake in the process.

There's no story build up, the explanation occurs at the same time Mimihagi is introduced and fails. There's no expectation of this being a solution - it's made clear Mimihagi could only ever be temporary fix at very best, and even at its most successful, Ukitake had to die. Mimihagi lasting for less time than the short period of time the Shinigami had been hoping for doesn't make this an example of this trope.
