Kisuke Urahara
Species: Shinigami Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Benihime



Ichigo's mentor, at first. Known for usually wearing sandals and hats (so he's called Geta-Boshi or Hat & Clogs), and runs a very weird store. His personality may be a bit eccentric and playful, but he's the real deal. Urahara is later revealed as the former President of the Soul Society Research & Technology Center as well as a Gotei 13 Captain. His Zanpakuto is Benihime.

"Voiced by: Shinichiro Miki (JP), Michael Lindsay (US, since debut), Doug Erholtz (US, voice double for Zanpakuto filler arc & Soul Resurreccion), Manuel Campusano (Latin America)"

-
 * Action Science Guile Hero: Responsible for turning the 12th Division into a science bureau and was the original developer of the gigai, is as kickass a fighter as any of the senior captains, but prefers to use the protagonists as surrogates in his conflict with Sosuke Aizen, quite callously manipulating them and holding back information during the Substitution and Soul Society arcs.
 * Actually a Doombot: Or rather, a blow-up doll.
 * Anime Hair: Seriously, his wick never once budges. It looks as if it were stuck on his forehead...
 * Anti-Hero: Type III
 * Arch Enemy: Inverted; Aizen hates him, but Urahara doesn't seem to mind.
 * Asskicking Equals Authority: Standard for any Shinigami Captain, but played twice, the first rather more literally than most since his duties as the 3rd Seat of the 2nd Division included being the warden of what was essentially an insane asylum, and it was actually a requirement of the job that he was to kick the ass of every single person committed to it (most notable, one of them was Mayuri).
 * Awesome but Impractical: His opinion on his bankai (seems to be a 2nd Division theme- Soi Fon has issues with hers as well). It's not clear what his bankai is, but the only thing we know about it is that its "not suitable for training", which suggests its pretty damn dangerous.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis
 * Badass
 * Badass Bookworm
 * Balls of Steel: Hiyori thinks their made of brass.
 * Benevolent Boss: Not really shown, but his conversation with Shinji demonstrates that this is his attitude.
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Big Good: Subverted; he's more of a Mysterious Backer, working behind the scenes and employing similar tactics as the Big Bad, in order to defeat the Big Bad. In fact, following Aizen's defeat, it seems that Urahara's willingly chosen to shift that role onto Yamamoto, if only for Xcution-related matters.
 * Blond Guys Are Evil: While not being really evil, he remains very manipulative.
 * Bloody Murder: Benihime's apparent power which includes:
 * Beam Spam
 * Barrier Warrior
 * Sword Beam
 * Playing with Fire
 * Calling Your Attacks: "Nake - Benihime!" ("Scream" or "Cry" in the English dub), "Chikisume no Tate!", "Kamisori - Benihime!", "Tsuppane - Benihime!", "Shibari - Benihime!", "Hiasobi - Benihime - Juzutsunagi!", various Kido spells.
 * The Chessmaster: Just as good as Aizen.
 * Creepy Good: He functions as a team mentor, but his secretive mannerisms and tendency to know everything give him an unnerving edge.
 * Dirty Old Man
 * Drill Sergeant Nasty: If you have to train with him, good luck trying to survive.
 * Eccentric Mentor: Don't let his goofy, childlike behavior fool you; he can kick all kinds of ass.
 * Gadgeteer Genius
 * Good Is Not Nice: He exhibits mannerisms of this caliber.
 * Guest Star Party Member: May or may not have been promoted to this position with  currently on the bench after tagging along to Hueco Mundo with Ichigo and friends to see what's going on. Only future chapter will tell for sure if he plans to stick around and contribute in a helpful straight up manner for once.
 * Guile Hero
 * Hat Damage: "I do believe you've killed my hat."
 * It Amused Me: "AMAZING HEADBAND OF JUSTICE!!" Also, his screwing with Yammy.
 * Kindhearted Cat Lover: Possibly literally....
 * Lovable Sex Maniac
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Hachimaki: Amazing headband of justice in place! Amazing armor of justice protect me!
 * Made of Iron: Well, anyone of note in this series is, but when a Groin Attack against you hurts only the attacker's leg, you deserve special points for this trope.
 * He might've worn some kind of armor there. It would be the tamest of surprises associated with him afterall ...
 * Meaningful Name: His name is a pun. While Urahara is an actual Japanese word, it is not a name; the kanji used here are "bank" and "meadow," but it's a play on the Japanese word for "reverse." The kanji used to write Kisuke's given name mean "fond" and "assistance." So the name sounds like "reverse fond assistant."
 * Mysterious Backer: Yes, he is Aizen's equal in intelligence. Yes, he is a major supporter of the protagonists. Yes, he is one of the two co-catalysts for the series, but he's just as manipulative as his Evil Counterpart, withholding information at certain points and using others as surrogates to handle the heavy lifting in his place. He's one of the top players in the series, but he's definitely still as shady as ever, even after.
 * Mysterious Past: For all we know of him, there's an awful lot we don't know. We don't know how he came to be raised alongside Yoruichi. We don't know what motivated him to research hollowfication and the Hougyoku or what he was after by doing so. We don't know why he's met the Soul King when even captains can't do that. We don't even fully understand the origin of his conflict with Aizen or what their end goals actually are.
 * Never Bareheaded: He wears his green-and-white-striped hat constantly. The brim usually keeps his eyes in shadow, and he frequently uses it to help obscure the rest of his face. When someone knocks his hat off, he is quick to put it back on, even if it has been damaged.
 * Nice Guy: During his tenure with the Gotei 13, towards his then subordinates, especially a very PMS-prone Hiyori.
 * Nice Hat
 * Ninja Samurai Gadgeteer Genius Soul Reaper
 * Obfuscating Stupidity
 * Omnidisciplinary Scientist: He's more of an engineer though, or at least the Soul Society equivalent of engineering. Contrasts nicely with Mayuri, who is more of a biochemist. It results in Urahara being portrayed as the "eccentric inventor" while Mayuri wears the "mad scientist" hat.
 * Omniscient Morality License : Has a tendency to keep things from the heroes, especially his role in the Hogyoku's creation and its importance in Rukia's arrest. This isn't all, though; as the original creator of the Hogyoku, which fell under Aizen's hands, he's partly responsible for the Visored affair, the development of the Arrancar, . To say nothing of his absolutely fucked-up way to give Ichigo his powers back, which simultaneously causes him to gain an inner hollow.
 * Orcus on His Throne: For a long long time, Urahara's role has been to sit back and manipulate everyone else into taking out Aizen, despite being indirectly responsible for every event in the series so far, but he moved to the front lines twice so far: First when the Arrancar first appeared in the world of the living, and in 402, to take on Aizen.
 * Perma-Stubble
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: More so than Yamamoto, or the Court of 46, despite being in exile.
 * Replacement Scrappy: In-universe for Hiyori.
 * Retired Badass: Doesn't normally fight, but when he gets serious... he does.
 * The Rival: Aizen, Mayuri, and Soi Fon, who may or may not be a love-rival for Yoroichi. They are all one-sided, in their own way.
 * Say It with Hearts: Has the tendency.
 * Suddenly Always Knew That: As suited for the former 3rd seat of the 2nd Divison, and a childhood friend of Yoruichi, but a bit of a surprise for the reader, he was one of the more competent and skilled hand to hand fighters in all of Soul Society.
 * The Other Darrin: The English actor for Ichimaru temporarily took over as the voice for Urahara due to personal issues the original VA was experiencing.
 * Trickster Mentor
 * Two Guys and a Girl: With Tessai and Yoruichi, as they all grew up together, although their full connection is still mysterious.
 * The Wonka: In friggin' spades, and likely the best-known anime example as the very strange and very effective shop owner.
 * The Wonka: In friggin' spades, and likely the best-known anime example as the very strange and very effective shop owner.

Yoruichi Shihoin
Species: Shinigami Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Unknown



One of the most beloved female characters in Bleach. Yoruichi is the dark-skinned Soul Reaper who acts as a mentor/guide or sorts for Ichigo and friends in Soul Society and later revealed as one of the more powerful Soul Reapers. She was once a member of the Shihouin noble family, and was the mentor of Sui-Fon. She has the ability to turn herself into a black cat, complete with masculine voice. Also, later chapters reveal her to be the former Captain of the 2nd squad of Gotei 13, preceding Sui-Fon.

"Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (JP), Shiro Saito (as a cat) JP, Wendee Lee (US), Terrence Stone (as a cat) (US), Rebeca Martinez (Latin America), Pedro D'Aguillon Jr. (as a cat) (Latin America)"

-
 * Action Girl
 * Ambiguously Brown: Just don't bring up her ethnicity unless you want a load of Fan Wank, trust us.
 * Badass: How Badass? She manages to hurt Aizen more than anyone until . This includes Yamamoto with the strongest Kido spell seen thus far.
 * Bokukko: She uses the personal pronoun 'washi,' which is generally used by old men.
 * Broken Pedestal: For Sui-Fon, sorta.
 * Catgirl: Can transform into a Cat.
 * Cool Big Sis: Towards Ichigo and Sui-Fon, to a degree.
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: In cat form, she sounds male.
 * Demoted to Extra: She played a very large role in the Soul Society arc. Not counting the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, her individual appearances afterwards can probably be counted on one hand. The anime at least lets her do something of importance each filler arc.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: From Sui-Fon not that we can blame 'em.
 * Eyes of Gold: Yoruichi has a habit of shapeshifting into a cat.
 * Fallen Princess: Heiress to a powerful clan and Shinigami captain, abandoned everything to run away.
 * Flash Step: Considered to be the most proficient in the art in all of Soul Society. Possibly ever.
 * Ironic Echo: To Byakuya.
 * Last-Name Basis: Weirdly, while she calls Byakuya by his given name, she calls Rukia, his adoptive sister, by their surname.
 * Leotard of Power: Her outfit, combined with thigh-high socks, from chapter 403 onwards.
 * Lightning Bruiser: She's not only the "Goddess of Flash", she has enough Super Strength to trounce Yammy Llargo, who is known for Super Strength even with his zanpakuto sealed. And we haven't gotten to her Shunkou mastery yet.
 * Ms. Fanservice and Lovable Sex Maniac: She's very exhibitionist, when it comes to human form. And LOVES teasing Ichigo about it.
 * Naked First Impression To Ichigo who almost had a stroke upon seeing her human form for the first time...in the nude.
 * Ninja
 * Highly-Visible Ninja: Slightly less visible than a certain orange-cladded ninja.
 * The Obi-Wan of Sui-Fon
 * Power Fist/Armed Legs: The Anti-Hierro armor.
 * Samus Is a Girl: More like the cat was a human!
 * Sexy Mentor: She's played this role towards both Ichigo and Byakuya. Amusingly, neither of them were thrilled with her style of mentoring.
 * Shameless Fanservice Girl: She doesn't like clothes. For three reasons: One, she spends a lot of time in cat form in that it's difficult to get used to wearing them. Two, she...just doesn't like them. Three, she can't get enough of Ichigo's reactions to seeing her naked.
 * Spoiled Sweet: Despite being the heard of one of the four most important noble clans, being a captain and being the commander of the Covert Ops, Yoruichi was famous for being a down-to-earth person who didn't lord herself over her subordinates. She was highly respected because of this.
 * The Tease: Towards Ichigo, of course.
 * Tomboyish Ponytail
 * Troll: In addition to being The Tease, Yoruichi likes messing with people in general.
 * Token Minority: Well, she is dark-skinned, but we never know her origins.
 * Two Guys and a Girl: With Tessai and Urahara, as they all grew up together, although why isn't known for now.
 * Waif Fu: According to the databook, she's 156cm (5ft 2in something) and 42kg (92 lb). And BOY she can pack some punch.

Tessai Tsukabishi
Species: Shinigami Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Unknown



General assistant to Urahara around the store who has to occasionally strong arm his boss into looking after himself.

"Voiced by: Kiyoyuki Yanada (JP), Michael Sorich (US), Martin Soto (Latin America)"

 * Personal Space Invader: Has used this to intimidate both Ichigo and Urahara.

 * Simple Staff: Carried one in his days back as head of the magic specialists.
 * Simple Staff: Carried one in his days back as head of the magic specialists.

Jinta Hanakari and Ururu Tsumugiya


Two kid assistants to Urahara's shop. Jinta is a slacker and hot-tempered, while Ururu is reserved and moody all the time.

 * Blade Run: Ururu to Ichigo.
 * Blush Sticker: Ururu
 * Cute Bruisers
 * Fiery Redhead: Jinta.
 * Hot-Blooded: Jinta.
 * Killer Rabbits
 * Mysterious Past: The fact that they aged during the time skip indicates that they aren't soul reapers, but we really have no idea where the hell they came from or where they got their abilities, particularly what happens to Ururu when she senses hollows.

 * Pint Sized Powerhouses
 * Robo Speak/Creepy Monotone/Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Ururu, whenever Hollows are near.

Isshin Kurosaki


The father of Ichigo, Yuzu and Karin. He's a doctor at a small clinic and, apart from some rather odd parenting techniques, seems to be an otherwise normal human who can't even see ghosts like Ichigo and Karin.

"Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (JP), Patrick Seitz (US), Roberto Mendiola (Latin America)"

-
 * Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: As far as Ichigo and (to some extent) Karin are concerned.
 * As You Know: Isshin and Urahara discuss    Later on, the "Turn Back the Pendulum" arc revealed that the truth was more complicated than they had chosen to reveal at the time.
 * Badass:  in a single strike, and, you count.
 * Badass Beard: He's always had a shadow of a beard, but during Ichigo's three-month Dangai training, this grew into a full beard.
 * Bumbling Dad: Very often.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: This guy is a doctor?
 * Calling Your Attacks: Like most of the characters, in fact.
 * Carpet of Virility: He's one of the hairest men in the series.
 * Cool Middle-Aged Guy: ...Sometimes.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: The reveal probably counts as a Moment of Awesome.
 * Doting Parent: "GOOD MORNING ICHIGOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
 * Dr. Jerk: He told Ichigo to butt off while trying to treat Sado. He and Ryuuken also debated who the worst father out of the pair of them actually was. They both agreed it was Isshin.
 * Generation Xerox: His interactions with Ishida Ryuken are much like a less energetic version of their sons'.
 * Heroes Want Redheads: His dead wife Masaki had long reddish hair.
 * Hidden Depths: A quirky doctor and father, that's how he was introduced to the story. . So, who on earth is this guy?!
 * Hot-Blooded: Subverted. He plays the part as a human but,, he's anything but.
 * Jerkass: Can be this sometimes, and he even acknowledges it as well.
 * Lamarck Was Right
 * Large Ham
 * Mysterious Past: Where to start...  The list of questions are endless.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Pretty much every interaction he has with Kon before the end of the Soul Society Arc.
 * Open-Minded Parent/Pervert Dad: He seems to encourage Ichigo to have relationships with girls.
 * Papa Wolf: He is this in spades when it comes to his daughters. They... don't appreciate it. Slapstick ensues. He'll go Papa Wolf for Ichigo, too, when Ichigo needs it.
 * Perma-Stubble
 * Retired Badass
 * Smoking Is Cool: His wife told him the only time he looked cool was when he was smoking. He only smokes once a year - in front of her grave, on the anniversary of her death.
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky

 * Tall, Dark and Snarky

Visoreds
The Visoreds are Shinigami who have partially embraced their Hollow side, obtaining the ability to temporarily wear Hollow masks after going through the "Hollowification" process. For that, they left the Soul Society, where they were actually captains and lieutenants from Gotei 13. Their Hollowification was NOT voluntary, but a consequence of an awful trap staged by Sousuke Aizen, who then blamed Kisuke Urahara for it. As a consequence, they had to leave Soul Society and escape to the human world, with Urahara being exiled there as well.

All possess Mask Power and Mask of Power, and they have a mini story arc based on them named "Turn back the Pendulum", which explains their pasts. Exotic Eye Designs also qualifies, as their scleras turn black and their irises turn yellow whenever they use their Hollow masks. Late Arrival Spoiler also applies - they're all former captains or lieutenants in the Gotei 13, sans Hachigen (who was with the Kido Corps).

Following the Time Skip,

Shinji Hirako
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Sakanade



The unofficial leader of the Visoreds, he was the one that tried to recruit Ichigo into their little band. He was the former captain of the 5th Division, with Aizen as his lieutenant, prior to his Hollowfication. His Zanpakuto is Sakanade.

"Voiced by: Masaya Onosaka (JP), Roger Craig Smith (US)"

-
 * Ascended Extra: Went from an extra on a volume cover, and could've been one Ichigo's classmates, but appeared much later as the unofficial leader of Shinigami-Hollow hybrids, ex-captain of Sosuke Aizen and former colleague of Kisuke Urahara. Can't get any more ascended than that.
 * Badass: He utterly wiped the floor with Grimmjow, and was also the first character ever to actually injure Aizen.
 * Badass Boast: Him telling Aizen that he knew about him ever since he was in his mother's womb.
 * Badass in a Nice Suit
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Batman Gambit:
 * Out-Gambitted:
 * Blatant Lies: Him referring to any pretty girl he meets as his "first love", including Lisa (according to herself).
 * Except Hiyori.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: AND HOW!
 * Butt Monkey: Hiyori keeps giving him sandal-beatdowns, but he's not gonna leave it at that and take it like a punching bag - just don't expect him to actually punch her back as many times as she's done to him.
 * By the Power of Greyskull: "Collapse - Sakanade!"
 * Chekhov's Gun: Remember, a long while back, when Shinji introduced himself in class by writing his name backwards? Turns out that his
 * Early-Bird Cameo: His actual debut was as a student in the first Bleach volume cover. Design was re-worked and he appeared much later as a transfer student, just with a Zanpakuto and a Hollow mask.
 * Explaining Your Power to the Enemy: He explains his shikai's inversion ability to Aizen, though Aizen had already figured most of it out and
 * Expository Hairstyle Change:
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: After the time-skip, he wears his fringe in an asymmetryical design.
 * Kansai Regional Accent: Unlike Gin, this is played for the usual effect.
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: In a completely deadpanned voice and face, he will say flat-out "That pretty girl there is my FIRST LOVE."
 * Mysterious Backer: Before his backstory was revealed in Turn Back The Pendulum, he was portrayed as one in the Arrancar arc.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: At first, we think he's just some doofus who gets abused by Hiyori. Then we not only learn that he's the unofficial leader of the Visored, but we see him kick the crap out of Grimmjow seconds after the Espada uses Ichigo's body as a soccer ball.
 * Volleying Insults: With Hiyori.
 * Volleying Insults: With Hiyori.

Hiyori Sarugaki
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Kubikiri Orochi



Highly short-tempered, irritable and tomboyish, she's arguably the closest to Shinji out of all the other Visoreds. Once attempted to kill Orihime and Chad to keep them from learning of hers and Shinji's identities. She was once the lieutenant of the 12th division under Urahara, whom she absolutely loathed. Her Zanpakuto is Kubikiri Orochi.

"Voiced by: Reiko Takagi (JP), Mela Lee (US, Episodes 110-130), Laura Bailey (US, Episodes 206 onward)"

-
 * Action Girl
 * BFS: Her Kubikiri Orochi.
 * Girl with Psycho Weapon
 * Bratty Half-Pint: Even more so than Jinta or Lilynette, if that's even possible.
 * By the Power of Greyskull: "Chop Cleanly - Kubikiri Orochi!"
 * Cute Bruiser: Yeah, she's a pain to get along with, but at least she has a pretty face, especially when she doesn't have that frown on.
 * Cute Little Fangs: Even says it's her "charm point".
 * Face of a Thug: Arguably the result of being a Perpetual Frowner.
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * Groin Attack: Attempts it on and hurts her foot. Apparently, he's quite hard.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: Probably the angriest character in the series.
 * Kansai Regional Accent: Uses uchi as a personal pronoun which is a staple of young women in the Kansai area.
 * Leeroy Jenkins: ? Good plan.
 * Meaningful Name: Sarugaki means "monkey brat".
 * Also "Hiyori" is a pun on one way of saying "weather" in Japanese.
 * Momma's Girl: Acted like that towards a woman named Kirio Hikifune, whom she adored as if she was her own mother. Which explains why Hiyori hated   so much; he took her place as   when Kirifune was
 * Mood Swinger: She behaves as if she were born with constant PMS.
 * Perpetual Frowner: Unlike some of the other examples in this series, like Starrk (lazy), Kenpachi (bored), Hitsugaya (grumpy), Ulquiorra (apathetic) or Byakuya (cold), Hiyori's frown leans more towards annoyance, which she has on about half the time, so if she ever actually smiles, remember to sock her in the face.
 * Shoe Slap: Her signature move towards Shinji.
 * Token Mini-Moe: And not very happy about it, either.

 * Token Mini-Moe: And not very happy about it, either.

Kensei Muguruma
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Tachikaze



A more serious and decisive member of the Visored, though is easily annoyed and temperamental. He was once the captain of the 9th Division with both Mashiro and Tousen under his wing. In addition, he's the first one to be Hollowfied, which technically makes him the oldest Visored. He saved a much younger Shuhei Hisagi from a Hollow, who became a Shinigami to try and be like him. His Zanpakuto is Tachikaze.

"Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (JP), Dave Mallow (US)"

- "Kensei: "What... did... she... just... say?!" Risa: "She just asked where the bathroom was! Calm down!""
 * Badass
 * Blow You Away: His zanpakuto - Tachikaze.
 * Its Shikai command is, quite literally, "blow it away".
 * Big Brother Mentor: To, who became a Shinigami to follow his example.
 * By the Power of Greyskull: "Blow It Away - Tachikaze!", "Bankai - Tekken Tachikaze!"
 * Combat Pragmatist: More than willing to hit a child. Also see I Am Not Lefthanded below.
 * Drill Sergeant Nasty: See Jerk with a Heart of Gold to see how he comforts a child who's family just died.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a tattoo on his stomach.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: An exchange with him went something like this.


 * I Am Not Left-Handed: Averted. As soon as he starts fighting the first thing he does is whip out his bankai.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: "Smile, damn it!"
 * Knife Nut: His zanpakutou Tachikaze takes the form of a combat knife
 * Razor Wind: His zanpakutou is wind-based, and can slice enemies apart.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Especially in his Captain days.
 * Perpetual Frowner: Has he ever smiled?
 * His smile during an attempt to cheer up Hisagi...ends up being an unintentional evil grin.
 * Team Chef: Apparently.
 * Shout-Out: Looks suspiciously similar to a mix between another Ken and his rival Raoh whenever he wears his coat.
 * Sleeves Are for Wimps
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Would Hurt a Child: After

Mashiro Kuna
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Unknown



A youthful Visored noted for her rather childish behaviour at most points. She was Kensei's lieutenant, and the second to be Hollowfied.

"Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (JP), Laura Bailey (US)"

-
 * Action Girl: Kicks quite a lotta ass, considering she was a lieutenant, which is still hard to believe since she's pretty immature when off-work.
 * Berserk Button: "How dare you. You ripped my scarf. I'll never forgive you."
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Okay, so Kensei chose her to be the Ninth Division lieutenant... why, exactly?
 * Calling Your Attacks: "MASHIRO KI~CK!"
 * Cute Bruiser: Not on Hiyori's level, but she does kick ass, and is quite cute herself.
 * Fan Girl: Of Sentai series.
 * Genius Ditz: Was able to keep her Hollow mask for 15 hours, apparently during her first try. To put it into perspective, during his first try, Ichigo could manage eleven seconds, tops.
 * Despite having over a century to practice, the other Visoreds can only last a few minutes at a time.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: Her Hollow mask.
 * Idiot Ball:
 * Kick Chick: Her preferred method of fighting, but she does have a zanpakuto (that she never uses). All part of her being a Kamen Rider Shout-Out.
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: Known for randomly groping herself when she's asleep.
 * Male Gaze: On her ass, in this one shot.
 * Odd Couple Ship Tease: With Kensei.
 * Scarf of Asskicking
 * Shout-Out: To Kamen Rider, due to the style of her jumpsuit, habit of attacking with kicks, wearing a scarf, and hollowfied form and mask.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: She hasn't been seen since the battle with Wonderweiss, who subsequently appeared . She and Kensei were not present or acknowledged during the brief gathering after , at which   are present.
 * Woman Child: Ditzy, oblivious, tantrum-prone and spacey, even though she looks about 14.
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair

Rojuro "Rose" Otoribashi
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Kinshara



A comparatively calm, easy-going Visored, with a seemingly disinterested flair, that has a thing for music. Former captain of the 3rd Division. His Zanpakuto is Kinshara.

"Voiced by: Shouto Kashi (JP), Christopher Corey Smith (JP)"

--
 * Animal Motifs: His Hollow mask resembles a bird.
 * Bishonen: Not in the attractive sense, but he looks a lot more feminine than the other Visored boys.
 * By the Power of Greyskull: "Play - Kinshara!"
 * Calling Your Attacks: "Kinshara Sokyoku Dai Juichiban - Izayoi Bara!", "Arpeggio!"
 * Musical Assassin: His Zanpakuto abilities are based around music.
 * Only Known by Their Nickname: Rose.
 * The Tragic Rose: And what a fucked up deal he and the other Visoreds got.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Love's Manly Man.
 * Those Two Guys: Mainly seen with Love.
 * Whip It Good: His zanpakuto Kinshara is a whip.

Hachigen "Hachi" Ushoda
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Unknown



The largest and friendliest of the Visoreds, quite kind-hearted and subservient to the more authoritative members. He was the lieutenant of the Kidou corps, under Tessai's wing.

"Voiced by: Takashi Nagasako (JP), Joe Ochman (US)"

--
 * Achilles' Heel: He's out of shape, considering he became out of breath after doing a few Flash Steps.
 * Badass: You wouldn't know it from looking at him, but he actually has the best combat performance of all the Visored, defeating both the Hollowified Kensei and Mashiro easily in "Turn Back the Pendulum" and being the only Visored to actually win his Fake Karakura fight.
 * Badass Grandpa
 * Barrier Warrior: His specialty is binding spells.
 * Beehive Barrier: Hachigen's Kikai no Joumon.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Kickass spellcaster.
 * Calling Your Attacks: Various Kido spells.

 * Rose Haired Guy
 * Rose Haired Guy

Lisa Yadomaru
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Haguro Tonbo



The relatively calmest of the female Visoreds, a bit secretive, aloof and detached, but around as irritable and tomboyish as Hiyori from above. Was the ex-lieutenant of the 8th Division. She seemed to be very caring for when she was just a child. Her zanpakuto is Haguro Tonbo.

"Voiced by: Kanako Hatori (JP), Tara Platt (US)"

-- "Lisa: I-I'm not a pervert! I-I'm just really curious! Kensei: (in the background brushing his teeth) Isn't that the definition of a pervert?"
 * Action Girl
 * Badass Bookworm: In the few fights she's ever been in, she's a pretty impressive swordswoman.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Her uniform does seem rather tight, after all.
 * Bi the Way: Clearly has Ship Tease with her ex-captain, but reads about bikini-clad woman to the extent where Ichigo calls her a pervert. Then she gets REALLY defensive.
 * Blade on a Stick/BFS: Her zanpakuto is Hanguro Tonbo.
 * Braids of Action
 * By the Power of Greyskull: "Smash - Haguro Tonbo!"
 * Cool Big Sis: To
 * Covert Pervert: By her own admission, "The more hidden something is, the more you want to see it".

 * Hot Librarian: Glasses, curves, silky skin and a school uniform? Sign us up for a quick look -- err, book.
 * Joshikousei
 * Lady of War
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: Openly reads pornographic Josei manga and swimsuit magazines, even sharing them with Love and Ichigo (who denies it).


 * Meganekko
 * Perpetual Frowner: Like most of her fellow Visoreds.
 * Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
 * Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Her resemblance with Nanao both in terms of looks, personality and the fact that she is Nanao's direct predecessor as Kyoraku's Lieutenant might even push her into Generation Xerox territory.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * Tsundere: She breaks ranks with the other Visoreds to make sure her former Captain, Shunsui is okay... and after seeing he is, kicks him in the head a few times, calls him an idiot, and tells him to stay back and watch while she shows off how strong she's become.

Love Aikawa
Species: Visored Affiliation: Soul Society (formerly) Zanpakutou: Tengumaru



A laid-back, easy-going manga reader, somewhat carefree with a slight tough-guy feel. Was the ex-captain of the 7th Division. His zanpakuto is Tengumaru.

"Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (JP), Travis Willingham (US)"

-
 * Actor Allusion: Tetsu Inada, who voices Love in Japanese, also voices Sajin Komamura, whom he
 * Alternate Character Reading: The characters in his name mean "net" and "military," but their On'yomi (Chinese) readings are "ra" and "bu" - and love is often approximated in Japanese as "rabu," which is presumably why their pronunciation is in katakana rather than hiragana.
 * Ambiguously Brown

Xcution
Xcution is a secret organization operating in Naruki City. There is no official hierarchy within the organization, but it seems that Kugo Ginjo holds more power than the average member. New members are recruited by current members who approach them and persuade them into joining. The process of contacting the organization is intricate and secretive and can only be achieved by means delivered by the organization. Every member of Xcution is a "Fullbringer", a special kind of human with the power of Fullbring, which allows one to use their pride in an object to manipulate its "soul" for a variety of effects. Fullbringers are born to women who are attacked by Hollows during pregnancy, meaning their powers bear more resemblance to a Hollow's than a Soul Reaper's.

The members of Xcution have one single wish: to become normal humans. In order to do so they must give their powers their exact opposite: a living human with the powers of a Soul Reaper. It is to that end that they wish to aid Ichigo Kurosaki in regaining his Soul Reaper powers. However, there are some former Xcution members who have their own plans.

Kugo Ginjo
Species: Human Affiliation: Xcution Fullbring: Cross of Scaffold



"Voiced by: Hiroki Tochi (JP)"

A mysterious and manipulative individual, Ginjo is the apparent leader of Xcution, although he doesn't seem to care too much of it, or acknowledge any real ladder within the organization. He approached Ichigo, tempting him with bogus investigative questioning regarding his father to arouse his interest concerning Xcution. .

His Fullbring, "Cross of Scaffold", allows him to transform his cross pendant into an enormous claymore that can use an explosive energy attack.

.


 * Anti-Hero: Type IV, particularly for his brutality towards Ichigo.
 * Chapter 476 reveals that he's more of

 * Establishing Character Moment: When he first bumped into Ichigo, Ginjo acted like a spaz as his bag gets dropped, but right after Ichigo hands it over to him and leaves, Ginjo flashed a smirk while having his Face Framed in Shadow. All you needed to know about his character was revealed in his very debut.
 * Expy: Hmm, let's see., check.  , check. He comes back with a bunch of normal humans with powers, check. He has a Dissonant Serenity - filled,  , check. Are we talking about Ginjo, or Sensui?
 * Face Framed in Shadow: Like Aizen, whenever he says something dramatic, a shadow covers most of his face.
 * Facial Markings:
 * Foreshadowing: There was his eye-reflection on Tsukishima's sword, that bogus info about Isshin to bait Ichigo into Xcution, the Half Truth to Chad about "Book of the End", the brutal training inflicted upon Ichigo, the self-admittance that he'd make a cliched villain, and finally, the dropping of a First-Name Basis with Ichigo . Tsukishima even calls Ginjo out on that last bit.

 * Half Truth: He said that Tsukishima's sword can cut through anything. Come Chapter 468...

Shukuro Tsukishima
Species: Human Affiliation: Xcution Fullbring: Book of the End



"Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (JP)"

The founder of Xcution, he successfully transferred several Fullbringers' powers to a Substitute Shinigami, but killed everyone directly involved afterward and disappeared. In his first appearance, he attacks and wounds Ishida, then sends out Shishigawara to attack Orihime. When Shishigawara hesitates due to his infatuation with her, Tsukishima appears and cuts Orihime down, He later makes an unexpected arrival at Xcution's base, slicing the door straight through. After fighting Sado, Ichigo and Ginjo atop the roof of their base, the destruction alerted the police, forcing everyone to bail out before they arrived, but not before Tsukishima took a cheap potshot at Chad.

His Fullbring "Book of the End" allows him to transform his bookmark into a katana purported to be able to cut anything; however, it has become increasingly clear that without leaving a wound. Through this, he can make himself a friend or an enemy of that person Apparently, the effect is removed if the target is stabbed again. The details are not fully explained, but according to Tsukishima himself this is different from According to , Book of The End


 * Absurdly Sharp Blade: Ginjo reveals that Shukuro's Fullbring ability is that the katana can slice anything,
 * Adaptation Expansion: The anime greatly expands his role in the first part of the Fullbring Arc, in the Manga; he attacked Uryu and then disappeared until he attacked Orihime. In the Anime, he makes an Early-Bird Cameo before his  attack on Uryu Ishida, his attack on   is shown rather than implied, he has a few confrontations with Ichigo before they properly met and he is shown using his powers to send Hollows after Ichigo.
 * Arch Enemy: Barring Grand Fisher, Tsukishima's far more personal an antagonist to Ichigo than any of the others ever were.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: A rather convenient side-effect that Book of the End gives him. Bookmarking a weapon gives him instant knowledge of the complete ins and outs of said weapon.
 * Ax Crazy: May be one, if chapter 462 is of any indication: Tsukishima's power has apparently "broken" an rendered "useless" many people before according to Ginjou, and it seems like Tsukishima does it just for fun. Also, it seems like he likes making deranged smiles, which is hardly a sign of mental health in fiction.
 * Badass Bookworm: His Fullbring takes the form of a bookmark and then becomes a katana when unleashed. He seems genuinely fond of reading as well, and explains his power to Ichigo by making references to sci-fi literature.
 * Bishonen: You...did see his picture up there...right? Taking a look at who his seiyuu is, you could even say the anime team lampshaded it.
 * Big Fancy House: Lives in a mansion in the middle of a forest.
 * Black Eyes: Type 1 in the Manga. The anime ignores this and gives him non-descript Brown Eyes.
 * Close-Call Haircut: Inflicts this on Orihime.
 * Complete Monster: Very much enjoys maliciously invoking this attitude towards beings affected by "Book of the End". Ginjo even called him out on it.
 * Deadpan Snarker: He shows signs of this in chapter 459.
 * Complete Monster: Very much enjoys maliciously invoking this attitude towards beings affected by "Book of the End". Ginjo even called him out on it.

 * Deadpan Snarker: He shows signs of this in chapter 459.

"OUT OF MY WAY!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHGGH!!!!"
 * Defeat Means Friendship: Played with. He defeats people by turning them into friends. Not that they have any choice, though.
 * Dissonant Serenity: He's calm, gentle, and utterly reasonable in his behaviour.
 * The Dreaded: A more subtle example. Tsukishima remains his nonchalant demeanor, but he tags polite jabs at Giriko and Yukio's apparent biggest flaws (the former drinks too much, the latter plays games too much). It's easy to see the nervousness in Giriko and Yukio's features.
 * Evil Only Has to Win Once: He stabs you once, and the battle is finished.
 * Evil Sounds Deep: Not as deep as other roles by Daisuke Ono, but still deep enough to qualify.
 * Faux Affably Evil: Rather serene and polite, even when he's faking it, but it just serves to further emphasize his status as an antagonist.
 * Foreshadowing: That Early-Bird Cameo means a lot more than it might at first glance.
 * For the Evulz: In chapter 462 he begins messing with Orihime and Chad's heads for no apparent reason, while wearing an horrific Slasher Smile. Ginjo tries to get him to stop. Tsukishima's answer? A polite smile oozing sadism.
 * First-Name Basis: As part of his friendly facade, he's pretty much the sole villain with an habit of calling everyone by their first name: Ichigo, Yukio, . Oddly enough, Ginjo is the sole exception..maybe because
 * Gadgeteer Genius: He built Riruka's gun. Possibly subverted considering the power of his fullbring.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: A huge one on his forehead.
 * Hidden Agenda Villain: His motives and goals are just as much of a mystery as his Fullbring was at the time.
 * How Dare You Die on Me!: " "
 * Followed up in the following chapter by: " "
 * In-Series Nickname: Yuzu and Karin call him "Shuu-chan", Tatsuki and Keigo call him "Shuu-san".
 * Ink Suit Actor: Seriously, take a good look at Tsukishima, then a look at Daisuke Ono, his seiyu. Apart from the scar, there's really no difference at all.
 * He's even more similar to him here. The split fringe, the smile...wow.
 * I Was Never Here: Inverted.
 * Lean and Mean: Very tall and slim, and undeniably malicious.
 * Lightning Bruiser: Hard Hitting type. He can get behind you and stab you before you even notice that he's moved.
 * Manipulative Bastard: Primarily involving Ichigo.
 * Marty Stu: Actually invoked by his Fullbring, though it's portrayed much more seriously. Once he "bookmarks" someone, the victims act unusually protective and friendly of him
 * Mind Rape: When he realises, Tsukishima takes advantage of this to inflict a brutal Mind Rape  . According to Ginjo it's actually a bad habit of his where he deliberately  takes his mind control powers too far simply to permanently break his victims minds, and he does seem to be enjoying the torture they're undergoing.   It fails horribly against
 * More Than Mind Control: He inflicts mind control on Ichigo's friends and family and Mind Rape  but he does neither to Ichigo. Instead, he uses what he's done to everyone else to play with Ichigo's head and even his sense of reality in a manner befitting this trope.
 * Nothing Is Scarier: In the first chapters of the Fullbring arc, Ichigo knew nothing about who he was, what his true motives were, nor did he know what his true ability was. The more he and the audience have learned, the more seriously he started taking his menace.
 * Power Parasite: A more mundane variant, but when he bookmarks someone, he gains their memories, learns of their abilities and counterattacks accordingly. There's only one drawback - he can't predict when his opponent would improvise.
 * Remember the New Guy?: His power can make people believe he has always been a part of their life and this allows him to manipulate them.
 * Slasher Smile: As the arc develops, Tsukishima upgrades his Psychotic Smirk to one of these to produce a Nightmare Face.
 * Smug Snake
 * The Sociopath: Fits several of the traits described.
 * Surreal Horror:
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky: Definitely tall, definitely dark. Mockingly polite to most, snarky towards Ginjo.
 * The Stoic: Since his debut, his expression has changed about five times.
 * Not So Stoic:  It happens again , again when  , when  , and when  which is immediately followed by a Skyward Scream.

"Tsukishima: Don't make me laugh, you think something like that can kill ME!?"
 * Undying Loyalty: Deliberately inflicts this upon anyone that gets slashed by his Fullbring, making them rather friendly and protective of him regardless of their personalities.
 * It seems like Tsukishima himself might feel this toward

Riruka Dokugamine
Species: Human Affiliation: Xcution Fullbring: Dollhouse



"Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi (JP)"

An overconfident and vain young girl, she immediately falls in love with Ichigo upon first sight - not that she'll admit it to him. She mainly assists him in his new Training from Hell.

Her Fullbring "Dollhouse" allows her to basically be a Reality Warper to anything or anyone she finds cute, permitting said things or people with heart-shaped "passes." This includes shrinking people down to the size of an action figure and "permitting" them into her cardboard dollhouse.

""HE'S SO HOT""
 * Abnormal Ammo:
 * Apologetic Attacker: Genuinely so, to, in chapter 471, since she actually ended up possessing her.
 * Berserk Button: HATES being called "a normal human".
 * Blind Without'Em: The problem is that despite this, she refuses to wear contacts (they're not comfortable) or glasses (they're not sexy).
 * Bratty Half-Pint: Even more so in her backstory.
 * By the Power of Greyskull: I permit you.
 * Character Development:
 * Combat Pragmatist: Since her power isn't very useful in direct combat, she carries a gun.
 * Going further,
 * Cuteness Proximity: Sorta weaponized with her powers.
 * Curtains Match the Window: She has magenta hair and eyes.
 * Dangerously-Short Skirt: Her minidress is a curious fashion choice for a girl her age, but she's willing to fight in it all the same.
 * Dark Chick: Riruka's fiery demeanor and hilarious love for Ichigo puts her as arguably the most memorable Fullbringer in Xcution.
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita: Seems to be her default fashion style.
 * Expressive Hair: In the filler additions to canon episodes, her hair is very much this.
 * Fiery Redhead: Pretty much the standout example in Bleach.
 * Freudian Excuse: Subverted; it seemed like she's about to receive one, but it essentially amounts to her having always been a Spoiled Brat. Though not exactly an evil one, mind you.
 * Foreshadowing: Her grim expression upon learning of Orihime's past says a lot about how Riruka herself might feel about her family.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: She can take anything--or anyone--she finds cute and put it/them inside her "box". Compound this with the fact that she's fallen for Ichigo, and you got a scenario that the internet picked up on immediately. Now it's revealed that you leave her box only once she gets you wet (via sneezing on you).
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * Hidden Depths:
 * As of now, it's actually a
 * Hot-Blooded
 * I'm Taking Him Home With Me: Actually weaponized. At will, she did this in her youth
 * Love At First Sight: Falls for Ichigo the moment she gets to see him clearly.

 * Love At First Sight: Falls for Ichigo the moment she gets to see him clearly.


 * Motor Mouth: She can get into ongoing, one-sided conversations about irrelevant topics, oblivious over the listeners nearby.
 * Nice Hat: She gets later on. Hilariously, this is just before.
 * Not-So-Harmless Villain:
 * Later on in the fight, Riruka
 * Power Nullifier: The consequence of getting trapped inside a plushie.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Spoiled Brat: Has the attitude, but she evokes it upon herself, instead of having someone else do it for her.
 * Sweet Tooth: She likes her doughnuts.
 * Thigh-High Boots: Again, another curious fashion choice, but they seemed to have changed a bit after
 * Tsundere: Acts slightly like a Drill Sergeant Nasty towards Ichigo, but clearly worries about him when he's not looking.
 * Also displayed the classic portrayal of one in her Mood Whiplash-full interactions with Orihime.
 * What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Her Fullbring allows her to "put" people inside things she finds cute...
 * Heart Is an Awesome Power: Including Ichigo in a dollhouse for a Training from Hell and a Yakuza inside a stuffed pig.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Grade S!
 * Heart Is an Awesome Power: Including Ichigo in a dollhouse for a Training from Hell and a Yakuza inside a stuffed pig.

Yukio Hans Vorarlberna
Species: Human Affiliation: Xcution Fullbring: Invaders Must Die



"Voiced by: Mitsuhiro Ichiki (JP)"

The youngest member of Xcution, just behind Riruka. Yukio is calm and quiet, usually not speaking unless something catches his attention. He seems fond of playing video games. He is slightly annoyed whenever Riruka kicks open a door, as he can see up her skirt whenever she does so.

His Fullbring, "Invaders Must Die", is channeled through his portable game console and allows him to imprison targets within a video game whose parameters (such as the gameplay system) and "characters" (his prisoners) are under his full control. It will only function as long as the battery is charged, however.

"" ""
 * All There in the Manual: For a while he seemed to be a case of Only One Name, until Kubo revealed his surname...in his character profile in the back of Volume 53.
 * Badass Longcoat: With a cravat, at that.
 * Berserk Button: Do not EVER tell him that . It was enough for him to
 * But Not Too Foreign: As his blond hair and surname would imply.
 * Character Development:
 * Creepy Child: Big time.
 * : Played for Drama, since
 * First-Name Basis: Is the sole Xcution member that calls Kugo and Giriko by their first names.
 * Freudian Excuse:  Fully explained in chapter 471:
 * Hidden Depths: Claims to have enjoyed how he, but when , Yukio was pissed. He clearly takes issue with  , but he went out of his way to defend his parents (whom he hated) over it, saying that he abandoned them. It's as if he's subconsciously repressing his true feelings about his parents, since he doesn't know how to deal with it.
 * Ignore the Fanservice: Whenever Riruka kicks open a door, he can see up her skirt, much to his annoyance.
 * Jerkass: Can get rather condescending and arrogant, as  noted.
 * Kick the Dog: In chapter 466, after  defeat at the hands of , Yukio tries to
 * Nice Hat
 * Peek-a-Bangs: One of his eyes is always covered by a lock of hair, but which one is random.
 * Pet the Dog:  This was omitted in the anime, however.
 * Product Placement: His video game console is quite clearly a PSP.
 * . Given that parents aren't entirely  noble in this series (Ryuuken and Isshin included), one could say that his parents had it coming for prioritizing their work over their son.
 * Shout-Out: Invaders Must Die is the name of an album by The Prodigy as well as its title track.

Moe Shishigawara
Species: Human Affiliation: Xcution Fullbring: Jackpot Knuckle



"Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino (JP)"

From Miyashita Commercial High School, Shishigawara works under Tsukishima. His Fullbring, "Jackpot Knuckle", takes the form of a knuckleduster with three slot machine icons. Depending on how lucky Shishigawara's roll is, the opponent will experience equal misfortune. Upon contact, the numbers roll, and if he hits a jackpot, Shishigawara can manipulate a probability related to whatever he punches; for example, he causes a piece of the hilt of Ginjo's sword to break off due to simple wear and tear.


 * Apologetic Attacker: A bit sarcastic about it, though.
 * Blessed with Suck: The unpredictability of Jackpot Knuckle means that he can't fight with any level of consistency, which makes him incredibly threatening nonetheless, but he could go right back to being an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain if his luck runs out.
 * Logical Weakness: The more he uses "Jackpot Knuckle" against one opponent, the less likely he is to get a "jackpot" due to probabilities changing over time.
 * The Brute: While he doesn't look the type, his Fullbring's abilities allow him to fight this way.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: A lot more dangerous than his early appearances would have suggested.
 * Taken to a few extremes in the anime, where he
 * Delinquent: He goes to a school full of stereotypical Japanese banchos. While he doesn't exactly sport a perm, he more or less plays the part with the way he dresses and speaks.
 * The Dragon: Seemed to be this for Tsukishima, though he's apparently the only lackey under his wing.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: Resorts to it after
 * Hot-Blooded: Odd for a sidekick of a disturbingly calm man.
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Eventually turns out to be a Not-So-Harmless Villain once he's in a real fight, to the point where  wants him dead for it.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Love At First Sight: Apparently, for Orihime.
 * Made of Iron: Other than his Fullbring, he's a baseline human, yet
 * My Name Is Not Sushigawara
 * Not-So-Harmless Villain: Has a slot machine-based Fullbring that, while unpredictable, is potentially very deadly. Ginjo even seems to consider him a greater threat than his fellow Fullbringers.
 * Oh Crap:
 * Too Powerful to Live: views this of him..
 * The Unfavourite:
 * Winds of Destiny Change: His Fullbring's power. If Shishigawara can get a little lucky, his opponent gets to be unlucky.
 * Would Not Hit a Girl: If he finds a girl pretty, he won't bring himself to attack her.
 * Undying Loyalty: For Tsukishima.
 * Would Not Hit a Girl: If he finds a girl pretty, he won't bring himself to attack her.
 * Undying Loyalty: For Tsukishima.

Jackie Tristan
Species: Human Affiliation: Xcution Fullbring: Dirty Boots



"Voiced by: Atsuko Yuya (JP)"

A member of Xcution. Jackie is a tall woman with short dark hair. She wears a dark long-sleeved shirt with tight fitting trousers.

Her Fullbring, "Dirty Boots", increases her physical combat strength as her clothes are dirtied.

"Jackie: "Sand, dirt, mud, blood, other bodily fluids, anything will work.""
 * Absolute Cleavage: Shows as much as Matsumoto does, with a cleavage that's almost as large (in some shots).
 * Action Girl: Tristan's the most action-oriented chick amongst the Fullbringers in Xcution.
 * Adaptation Expansion: Enough that her backstory was the first to get revealed in the anime.
 * Ambiguously Brown: For a while, at least. Then this color spread in the manga came, and the anime followed suit with a similar skin tone.
 * Berserk Button: She really seems to have an inferiority complex as when she trains Ichigo, she treats him like a novice only for him to show his skill and reveal that he had more then enough experience when it comes to fighting. She practically goes ballistic on him (not that it does any good).
 * Clothes Make the Superman: Her clothes, specifically her boots, serve as her Fullbring 'Dirty Boots'
 * Flat Character: Averted; for the longest time, she's received the least characterization from the Fullbringers, until (in classic Bleach fashion) she fights someone, first with Ichigo through training, then with . We even get a glimpse of her past in chapter 466 , and
 * Foreign Fanservice
 * Freudian Excuse:

 * Irony:.
 * Kick Chick: Her specialty, but it doesn't work against Ichigo
 * Mauve Shirt: The anime plays her role up with a lot more prominence than her manga incarnation..
 * Out of Focus: We last saw her fighting Ichigo. About 12 chapters later, she's been regulated to cameos, but she gets two chapters' worth of screentime and backstory implications to make up for it. The anime averts it through Adaptation Expansion, however.
 * Shout-Out: "Dirty Boots" is also the name of a song by Sonic Youth.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: A more subdued case, but she calls Ichigo out on his hero complex, something that fans (and his own friends) have taken issue with for years.

Giriko Kutsuzawa
Species: Human Affiliation: Xcution Fullbring: Time Tells No Lies



"Voiced by: Atsushi Ono (JP)"

The eldest member of Xcution, and their apparent bartender at their base of operations. He is a very to-the-point person, and has a rather cruel way of training Ichigo in the use of his Fullbring.

Kutsuzawa's Fullbring, "Time Tells No Lies", allows him to place "timers" and restrictions on basically anything based on conditions of his choosing. If these conditions aren't met, the target is purged by the flames of time.
