"It's not everyday a shinigami tells you that you aren't meant to exist." Kaede grew up in an alternate reality as best friends with Tensa, Ichigo, and Hichigo. When all four are kidnapped and dragged back to the original reality to help in the Winter War, it is revealed that, as an artificial soul, Kaede is tipping the balance, and maybe not in the Gotei 13's favor.
