(And so, we've reached the final chapter of this story)
More years passed and soon, it had been 30 whole years since the war between the Soul Society and the Quincies.
Jūshirō and Shunsui stood on the balcony outside Shunsui's office. There was supposed to be a meeting soon but Jūshirō wanted to talk to his friend before the other captains arrived.
"I've been thinking"
"About what Jūshirō?"
"About retiring from my position as captain"
"Are you sure about that old friend?"
"Yes. I've been a captain for almost 300 years. It's time to let someone younger take over"
Shunsui looked at his friend before placing a hand on his shoulder.
"If that's what you want Jūshirō, then I'll support that decision"
"Thank you Shunsui"
The dark-haired man let a smile cross his face.
"So are you gonna tell the others at the meeting?"
"That was my plan if I get the chance to say it"
"Don't worry. I'll give you a chance before the meeting ends"
Jūshirō smiled before he left his best friend's office and walked to wait outside the meeting room.
Soon the other captains came and once all twelve were present, they were allowed inside the room so the meeting could begin.
"Before I let all of you return to your division I believe that captain Ukitake has something to say"
Everyone turned their attention to the 13th division captain.
"I have decided to retire from my position as captain"
"Are you sure, Tōshirō asked"
Yes. I've soon been a captain for almost 300 years. It's time to step down and let someone younger take on the position"
The others all stood quiet after hearing the news until they all nodded, understanding his decision.
A while after the meeting was over, Tōshirō entered the head-captain's office.
"What can I help you with captain Hitsugaya?"
"Since no one of the others seems to be thinking about the obvious then I will.
-I'm here to recommend Katsurou Ukitake to take on the position as captain of the 13th division"
The young captain could see a smile on Shunsui's face.
"I was wondering if someone would recommend him for it"
"He's the most capable person I can think off. Up until the war, he had been the acting captain many times during all his years as lieutenant.
-He knows how to run that divsion better than any other Soul Reaper"
"You're right"
"But I do believe he needs to take the captains' exam"
"How come?"
"According to what I've heard from Shūhei, Katsurou reached his true Bankai during the war 30 years ago"
"I see, then the exam might be good.
-Would you mind overseeing it with me captain Hitsugaya?"
"Of course. Who else?"
"I was thinking Rose"
"Right. I'll inform him and Katsurou on my way back to my division"
They two talked for a short moment before Tōshirō left the 1st division and made his way to the 3rd.
"What brings you here captain Hitsugaya?"
"I need to speak with captain Ōtoribashi.
-Is he busy right now Izuru?"
"Not that much. I believe he has time to see you"
"Thank you"
He walked into the captain's office were Rose sat.
"Ah captain Hitsugaya, what can I help you with?"
"I just came to inform you that the head-captain wants you and I to oversee a captains' exam along with him"
"Sure. When is it?"
"In a week"
"I'll be there"
"Good"
Tōshirō then went to the 13th division. Right when he was about to enter, a Hell Butterfly came.
"Damn that Rangiku!"
It was then Rukia came.
"Captain Hitsugaya, are you here to see captain Ukitake?"
"No I just came here to leave a message from the head-captain to Katsurou.
-Would you mind giving it to him? I need to get back to my division before Rangiku messes things up more"
"Of course"
Tōshirō gave her a letter from Shunsui before he disappeared in a quick Flash Step.
Rukia then walked to the office were her co-lieutenant sat.
"Katsurou, captain Hitsugaya wanted me to leave this to you"
"Thank you Rukia"
He took the letter and opened it.
"Lieutenant Katsurou Jūgorō Ukitake of the 13th division.
On the recommendation from captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya of the 10th division, it's been decided that you will take the captains' exam for a chance to be promoted. In one week, myself and two other captains will await you in the 1st division for the exam.
Head-captain Shunsui Kyōraku"
"A promotion for me? Oh that's right, dad talked about retiring.
-Was there something more you want Rukia?"
"No"
"Then you can go back to your work"
"Right"
Once Rukia had closed the door behind her, Katsurou stood up and walked over to a stand were Kuroi's sword rested.
"Seems like we have some training to do partner"
For the next week, Katsurou kept it a secret that he was going to take the captains' exam since he wanted it to be a surprise in case he happened to pass and be promoted.
Katsurou took a deep breath before he entered the 1st division. Today was the day of his captains' exam.
He walked down the hall to the right room were Shunsui, Rose and Tōshirō waited.
"Welcome lieutenant Ukitake"
"Thank you head-captain"
"Are you ready?"
"Yes sir"
"Then let's begin the captains' exam"
And so the test began. Katsurou showed the abilities of his true Bankai and all three captains seemed impressed. Shunsui looked at the other two captains who nodded.
"Lieutenant Ukitake it's a great honor to say that you've past the exam"
"Thank you so much sir"
Shunsui smiled and so did Rose and Tōshirō. All three knew that there was no one who deserved this promotion more than Katsurou.
"We'll see you at the captains' meeting two days from now. Your promotion will be official during that meeting"
"Right"
Rose and Tōshirō then got up to leave but Shunsui wanted Katsurou to stay just a moment.
Once the door had closed behind the other two captains, he wrapped his arms around the lieutenant in a bear hug.
"Congratulations Suro"
"Thank you... uncle Shunsui"
"You really deserve this. There's no one better to take over when your father retires"
"I guess captain Hitsugaya thought so too since he recomended me"
"I'm sure every captain was thinking the same but Hitsugaya was the only one who dared to say anything"
"Maybe so"
"Now go home so you can tell your family that you've passed the exam"
"I will"
Katsurou bowed respectfully before he exited the room and walked out of the 1st division.
It was starting to get slightly dark already so he made his way home to the Ukitake estate were he found his father in the garden.
He was laying in the grass with both his grandkids ontop of him.
"Kids be nice to your grandfather"
Hikaru and Haruka both looked up and smiled when they saw their father.
"Dad you're home, said Hikaru"
"Yes, I had some things to take care off but now I'm done for the day"
"That's good, said a voice"
All four turned their heads and saw Hana in the door.
"Dinner is ready"
"Right"
They all walked inside and sat down to eat.
"So were have you been since you left work earlier, Jūshirō asked"
"Well. To be honest I've been keeping a secret from you"
"What secret, Hikaru asked"
"Tell us dad, said Haruka"
"A week ago, I recived a letter from the head-captain, telling me that I would take the captains' exam to see if I could get promoted to captain rank.
-I just came from the exam at the first division"
"Did you pass, Jūshirō asked"
"I did. At the meeting in two days it will be official since that's when the other captains will know and I will recive my Haori"
His family looked at him before Hana got up and embraced him.
"Congratulations dear"
"Thank you Hana"
"Wait, dad if you're going to become a captain... which division is it, Hikaru asked"
"Your father is going to take over the 13th division since I'm going to retire, said Jūshirō"
"You're not gonna stay as a captain anymore, grandfather?"
"No. It has soon been 300 years since I was given the rank so I decided that it was time for someone younger to take over"
"Hmmm and here I thought that I would become a Soul Reaper while you still were a captain"
"Don't you think that I will make a good captain like your grandfather, Hikaru?"
"Of course I think you'll be good captain, dad"
"Then work hard when you enter the academy in a few years and show me that you have what it takes to be a Soul Reaper under me"
"Oh trust me I will. I will become an even greater Soul Reaper than you and grandfather"
"That's the spirit"
Two days later.
All captains and lieutenants had gathered at the 1st division for the cermony for the new captain. No one except Jūshirō, Rose, Tōshirō and Shunsui knew who it was.
Jūshirō stood next to Shunsui in the front of everyone else. The Haori of the 13th division was folded in his hands, ready to be handed over to the new captain.
"Alright shall we begin the promotion ceremony for the new captain of the Gotei 13, said Nanao"
"Yes, will the new captain please enter, said Shunsui"
The doors opened and in came Katsurou.
The captains and lieutenants who didn't know about his promotion just stared for a moment while the two captains that had overseen his exam smiled.
When he reached the front, he bowed to the head-captain.
"As you all remember, almost two weeks ago, captain Ukitake revealed that he will retire from his position as captain, so the search began for someone to take over. Right after the meeting, I recived a recomendation from captain Hitsugaya about making lieutenant Katsurou Ukitake the new captain.
-Because he had gained some new powers during the war, captains Hitsugaya, Ōtoribashi and myself conducted an examination to evaluate his qualification to become a captain and we found no short comings. So I hereby announce that the former lieutenant of the 13th division, Katsurou Ukitake is promoted to the rank of captain of the 13th division"
Katsurou stood up from his bow as his father walked up to him.
"This is yours now. Wear it with with the same pride and honor as I did"
"I will"
Katsurou took the Haori from Jūshirō and put it on. The other captains and lieutenants applauded as he turned to face them.
Everyone then walked up to the new captain, giving him pats on the back and congratulations.
"Congratz Suro, said Shūhei
-You really deserve this old friend"
"Thank you Shūhei"
"No one deserved this promotion more than you, said Tōshirō
-That's why I recommended you"
"Thank you capt... Tōshirō"
The younger captain just let a smile cross his face, Katsurou and he were friends after all and now when the older was a captain, he could call him by his first name.
"To think the kid we knew from over 100 years ago would reach the rank of captain, said Shinji"
"You've done well, said Kensei"
"Thank you Shinji, Kensei"
From were they stood a bit away from the group, the two friends watched the others.
"I'm so proud of him, said Jūshirō"
"You should be, Juu. After all, the two of us has seen Suro grow up and we know how strong he really is"
"You're right. To think that that shy little boy we found in Rukongai over 150 years ago would grow up and become one of the strongest lieutenants and now, a captain"
"I guess no one of us expected that"
A while later, the captains were all allowed to return to their divisions.
"The others will get a surprise when they see that I'm the new captain, said Katsurou"
"They sure will, said Rukia"
They reached the 13th were Rukia walked around to the back of the barracks were everyone had gathered while Katsurou stayed around the corner.
"Alright everyone, settle down"
All members of the division stopped talking and looked at her.
"As you all know, today is the day when captain Ukitake retired from being our captain. But on the meeting I just came from, a new captain was choosen for the 13th
-So allow me to introduce you all to our new captain"
She looked to the side and Katsurou came from around the corner.
When he stood in front of everyone, he smiled at them.
"Hello everyone"
"Lieutenant Ukitake, you're the new captain?"
"That's right Kajōmaru.
-After my father announced his retirement two weeks ago, I recieved a letter from the head-captain. It said that captain Hitsugaya had recommended me to be promoted and two days ago, I took the exam"
He could see the happiness on everyone's faces and Katsurou could guess it was because they got someone they knew as their new captain instead of a stranger who didn't know the division.
"I'm sure a few of you are wondering if I'm going to change things around here and I can assure you that while I may not be my father, I will run this division the same way he did"
Everyone was quite before they started to cheer for their new captain.
Due to his experience of being acting-captain all those times his father was sick, Katsurou quickly adapted to his new position.
It had now been two years since his promotion and he was looking through some reports when Rukia came.
"Sir, I just got a message that all captains are to gather for a meeting"
"I see.
-Please take care of things until I return, Rukia"
"Of course"
The young captain smiled at her before he made his way to the 1st division were he found Tōshirō, Love, Kensei, Shinji, Rose, Isane and Lisa.
"Do you guys know what this meeting is about, Katsurou asked"
"No, the message didn't say anything, said Tōshirō"
"Well, all lieutenants and captains are still alive so it can't be anything about that, said Kensei"
"Well just have to wait until everyone gets here and see what the head-captain has to say, said Lisa"
"I agree with Lisa, said Shinji"
So the group just stood there and talked until the others arrived and they were let inside the meeting room.
"So why did you call on us, Kenpachi asked"
"A certain individual came to me earlier today and he wanted me to gather all captains together, said Shunsui"
"And who is that, SoiFon asked"
"It was me..."
Everyone turned to the doors and saw a familiar man stand there, Isshin Shiba or Kurosaki as his name was now.
"Isshin what brings you here, Katsurou asked"
"I've actually been thinking about coming back for a while. After all, Ichigo is 47 while Karin and Yuzu are 43 and my grandkids are all in their 20s.
-So I decided to say goodbye and return here"
"But why, your captain's position is taken, said Lisa"
"I know that.
-My spot as a captain may be taken but I'm still a part of the Shiba clan so I came here to ask you captains if you know their whereabouts"
"So your plan is to try and make them rise back to the Great Noble Clans, Byakuya asked"
"Yes"
"That may be hard Isshin since there are only two members left of the Shiba clan, said Tōshirō"
"Techincally there are more than two, said Mayuri"
"He's right, said Katsurou
-Ichigo and his sisters are of Shiba blood too"
"That makes five members of the Shiba family, said Isane"
"Even more if you include Kazui and my other grandkids, said Isshin"
"But most of them are humans born in the world of the living and they may not come here for a while, said SoiFon"
"But when they do, the Shiba Clan will grow bigger and hopefully, they can climb back to their status as one of the great noble clans, said Rose"
The other captains nodded in agreement before turning to Shunsui.
"What do you say head-captain, Kensei asked"
"I don't see anything wrong with Isshin returning to the Shiba clan
-Captain Ukitake, you know the whereabouts of the Shiba clan don't you?"
"Yes sir. I visit them every now and then to see how they're doing"
"Then could you maybe guide Isshin to them?"
"Of course sir"
"Good.
-With that, you're all dismissed"
The captains all left the room and Katsurou walked up to Isshin who waited for him before they started to walk.
"Congratz on becoming a captain, Katsurou"
"Thank you"
"I remember thinking how much you deserve it back when I was still a captain"
"You did?"
"Yes. You were the only lieutenant at the time to know Bankai and you had been acting captain a bunch of times. The only thing holding you back was your loyalty to your father and the 13th.
-By the way, how is Jūshirō these days? That illness still giving him trouble?"
"Not anymore. He's as healthy as he can be and seems to enjoy being retired since he gets to spend time with Hikaru and Haruka"
"That's right, Ichigo told me you had kids.
-How big are they?"
"Hikaru is over 30 years old in human years but he's still just a young boy and Haruka is five years younger than him"
"Have they joined the academy yet?"
"No. They're still a bit too young but Hikaru has started to show signs of his spiritual powers so it may not be that many more years until he's going to attend the academy"
"What about your daughter?"
"Not as much as her brother. I have afeeling Hikaru will get more battle abilities like me while Haruka will become a healer like her mother"
"I see"
"What about Kazui? I heard he's doing a good job with the Hollows in Karakura"
"Ichigo has taught him well and that boy is clearly as strong as his father"
"He's a good Soul Reaper then"
"He sure is"
The two then reached the gate to Rukongai and Jidanbō let them into the district were Katsurou led Isshin to the outskirts.
"Over there is their home"
Isshin looked at the house and mostly the banner between the two hands.
"Looks like my niece really changed some things"
"Well, she is the clan head since Kaien passed away"
The captain then turned to leave.
"I have to get back to work. Can't let Rukia take care of things for too long"
"Okay, thanks for taking me here"
"No problem"
After Isshin's return to the Soul Society not that much happened for a long time. Life went on as it usual until one day about 50 years later.
The day had started out as any other until a loud explosion was heard from the department of research and development which had the captains gather for an emergency meeting.
"What has Kurotsuchi done this time, SoiFon sighed"
"You never know when it comes to him, said Tōshirō"
"My guess is that he tried some new experiment that turned out way wrong, said Love"
"You could say that captain Aikawa, said Shunsui"
"So what happened, Rose asked"
"It looks like this experiment captain Kurotsuchi was conducting backfired and he is now been declared as unable to perform his captain's duties"
"You mean he's dead, said Kenpachi"
"No but whatever the experiment was has caused damage on his nerves that not even his own drugs can fix.
-So Central 46 has decided to have him removed"
"It's for the best, said Shinji
-That guy even used his own men as experiments"
"So who is taking over, Isane asked"
"I've already sent a message to Kisuke Urahara in the world of the living and he has accepted to come here and take over his old position as the 12th division captain.
-And there's one more person he'll bring with him:..."
"Who is that, Lisa asked"
"Ichigo..."
All captains looked at their superior with wide eyes.
"What's happened to him, Kensei asked"
"His life in the world of the living has reached it's end and I've already invited him to come and join the Gotei 13"
"You're gonna let him join a division right away, said SoiFon"
"It's not a bad idea, said Katsurou
-Ichigo does after all have the abilities and power of a captain"
"Captain Ukitake is right, said Shunsui
-But the boy also needs experience so he'll be assigned a seated officer post in one of the division and he'll become a captain when the time is right"
"So which division will he be a part of, Rose asked"
"I told him that he can decide himself when he gets here tomorrow along with Kisuke.
-So you're all dismissed for now and I'll call on you again tomorrow"
"YES SIR!"
The next day, Kisuke and Ichigo both arrived in the Soul Society. All the captains were of course curious about which division Ichigo had choosen to join.
Ichigo stood between the two rows of captains, Kisuke had already taken his place next to Tōshirō.
The former substitute Soul Reaper may have aged in the world of the living but his Soul Reaper form still looked like the 20 year old Ichigo.
"So Ichigo, which division have you choosen to join, Shunsui asked"
"I've been thinking a lot about it and I've reached a decision"
Everyone looked at him as Ichigo turned to face them.
"I've decided to join the 13th division"
Katsurou smiled when Ichigo looked at him.
"May I ask how you reached that decision, Shunsui asked"
"I'm not a healer, scientist or assassin so the 2th, 4th and 12th wouldn't have been the right place for me. I've already been around Shinji and the other Visored enough in the world of the living so neither of their division would work.
-If I had joined the 11th, Kenpachi would just want to fight me all the time which would bring a slight chaos to this place and I don't think I would fit in at the 6th division"
"So your final choises were the 1st, 10th and 13th, said Kensei"
"That's right. So I went with the 13th since I know I can learn a lot with them"
The other captains nodded understanding.
"Captain Ukitake, do you have anything to say, Shunsui asked"
"Just one thing"
Katsurou walked up to Ichigo and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Welcome to the 13th division"
"Thank you Kat... captain"
The captains were then dismissed and Katsurou led Ichigo to the 13th division were Rukia already had gathered the others.
"Everyone, today our division will welcome a new member in the form of former Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki"
Ichigo walked over to the captain and looked at everyone who was gonna be his fellow division members.
"I hope you'll all treat him well since Ichigo will take over the position of 5th seat officer"
Ichigo looked at him in surprise while the others started to applaud before they were sent away to continue their work.
"Rukia would you please show Ichigo around the division. I have some reports to look over"
"Yes sir"
"And I also assign you to be his personal Kidō instructor since that is the only skill he hasn't mastered yet"
"You can trust me captain"
"Good.
-Ichigo, I leave you in Rukia's hands but don't hesitate to come see me if something bothers you"
"Yes sir"
Ichigo quickly adapted to his role in the division much to the happiness of Katsurou. He saw how Ichigo improved everyday when it came to his skills in Kidō and he believed it wouldn't be long before he would be a captain himself.
Some years after Ichigo had joined the 13th division, Shunsui stepped down as head-captain and Central 46 choose Byakuya to take over.
"With my brother as the new head-captain, the 6th division is going to need a new captain, said Rukia
-I guess it will be Renji..."
"No, Renji has already been choosen to take over the 5th division when captain Hirako and the other Visored steps down in a week"
"What about the other division they are leading, Ichigo asked"
"Izuru and Shūhei have both mastered their Bankai and will take over the 3rd and 9th. Nanao has been choosen to the over the 8th"
"But she doesn't have a Zanpakutō, said Rukia"
"That is true but she was choosen due to her skills in Kidō"
"What about Aikawa's division, Ichigo asked"
The two could see how a smirk appeared on their captain's face.
"That position is going to be yours, Ichigo"
"What?"
"Back when you first joined the Gotei 13, the head-captain said that when the time comes, you will take on the position of captain.
-Now you've mastered not only Kidō but you've also managed to seal your Zanpakutō. Which makes you a great candidate"
"I'm honored"
Katsurou smiled at him before turning to Rukia.
"As for your brother's position as the captain of the 6th divsion... That is a position you've been recommended for"
"Me?"
"Yes. For generations, the 6th division has always been led by a member of the Kuchiki clan. Byakuya's grandfather Ginrei was the captain before him, his great-grandfather was the captain before Ginrei.
-So in a few days, you will take the exam in front of the head-captain, captain SoiFon and Captain Urahara"
"I understand sir"
"Good. Then you can take some time from your work in order to prepare yourself"
"Yes sir"
Later: Ukitake estate.
"So have you decided on who's going to be your new lieutenant?"
Katsurou looked up from the book he was reading and looked towards his father.
"Not really. Sentarō would be an obvious choice since he's served as a 3rd seat since I was promoted to lieutenant but he lacks a few skills needed for a lieutenant"
"What about those werewolves you helped a while back?"
"Those two are actually not a bad choice"
The two then heard the door to the room open and turned around to see Hana stand there.
"Speaking of people being reaching new ranks in the Gotei 13, maybe we should start thinking about letting the kids enter the academy"
"We should. I feel more and more spiritual pressure from Hikaru every single day"
"It's a wise choice you two, said Jūshirō
-But Haruka's powers are also growing. Maybe not as much as Hikaru's but she'll soon be at there as well"
"I know dad"
Katsurou then turned to his wife.
"Once all new captains have been instated, I'll make sure to have Hikaru signed up for the entrance exam"
"Sounds like a good plan"
A few days later: 7th division.
"So what brings you here Ukitake, Love asked"
"As you know Captain Aikawa, Rukia is going to be promoted to captain along with Ichigo and the others in a few days. That means I'll be without a lieutenant.
-So I came here to ask for either Shouma or Urui to take on the position as my lieutenant"
"Why the wolf brothers? Doesn't your 3rd seat have what it takes?"
"Those brothers have the potential and abilities of lieutenant level Soul Reapers, Sentarō still lacks a few things"
"I see"
The 7th division captain stood up from his desk and walked to the door.
"I'll take you to them"
"Thank you"
The captains walked outside were the members of the 7th division were training under Tetsuzaemon's guidance.
"Iba could we borrow Shouma and Urui for a moment?"
"Of course sir"
Tetsuzaemon gestured to the two brothers to take a break and they walked over to the two captains.
"Something the matter sir, Urui asked"
"Not at all but Ukitake here wanted to speak with you"
The brothers turned to the man who they had known since they were cubs.
"In a few days time, I'll lose my lieutenant since she's getting promoted.
-I came here to ask if one of you want to transfer over to the 13th as my new lieutenant"
"Are you sure, Shouma asked"
"Yes. You both have potential to be great lieutenants and your abilities are at that level.
-But since the two of you wanted to follow in Sajin's pawprints here at the 7th, I'm leaving the choice to you. You don't have to accept my offer but if you do, you two will make the choice on who it will be"
"We're honored sir, said Urui"
"I'll be awaiting your answer"
With that, Katsurou left the 7th division.
The next day, he was sitting in his office when Shouma came.
"Excuse me for bothering you sir"
"You're not bothering me at all Shouma.
-I guess you're here about the offer I gave you and your brother yesterday"
"Yes. We talked and reached the decision that I will become your new lieutenant"
The captain smiled and stood up before walking over to the young wolf, placing a hand on his arm.
"I'm glad. Thank you Shouma"
"I'm looking forward to working with you Kats... captain Ukitake"
Katsurou smiled at him and Shouma smiled back.
"You don't have to transfer over here until the day of Rukia's promotion but I'll let the head-captain know that you will become my new lieutenant"
"Yes sir"
A few days later, it was time. Renji and the others had already been promoted the previous days and only Rukia was left to take on the captain's position.
All captains and lieutenants were gathered in the 1st divsion.
"Will the new captain please enter, said Byakuya"
The doors opened and in came Rukia wearing the Haori of the 6th division.
"Captains and lieutenants of the Gotei 13. Today, the lieutenant of the 13th division, Rukia Kuchiki is promoted to the rank of 6th division captain.
-Serve the Gotei 13 and your division well, captain Kuchiki"
"I will head-captain"
Rukia bowed to her brother before taking her place between Isane and Nanao.
"I also believe we have a few lieutenants to name"
"Yes head-captain, said SoiFon
-Marechiyo Omaeda has stepped down as the lieutenant of the 2nd division and his position will be taken over by Yūshirō Shihōin"
"Rikichi, the 4th seat of the 6th division is who I've choosen to be my lieutenant, said Rukia"
"I've choosen Shouma, the 5th seat of the 7th division to become my lieutenant, said Katsurou"
The doors to the room then opened and the three new lieutenants entered the room and walked over to their captains who gave them their lieutenant badges.
And so, a new generation of the Gotei 13 had taken their place and even though their methods were different from their predecessors, they led their division with the wisdom they had gained during their years of service in the Gotei 13.
So to recap the new captains and lieutenants.
1st division: Byakuya and Okikiba.
2nd division: SoiFon and Yūshirō
3rd division: Izuru and Inose
4th division: Isane and Kiyone
5th division: Renji and Momo
6th division: Rukia and Rikichi
7th division: Ichigo and Tetsuzaemon
8th division: Nanao and Tatsufusa
9th division: Shūhei and Mashiro
10th division: Tōshirō and Rangiku
11th division: Kenpachi and Ikkaku
12th division: Kisuke and Akon
