== Modsouls ==
===Lirin===
[[File:Ririn human 9148.jpg|thumb|250px|Human Ririn]]
[[File:Ririn Mod Soul 493.jpg|
A modified soul created by Urahara along with Kurodo and Noba. She is the de facto leader of the three. She and her "siblings" initially appeared giving Ichigo's team a surprisingly brutal [[Training from Hell]], but quickly became good friends (especially with Ichigo) with them and were instrumental in the war against the Bount. Her stuffed animal form is a hooded chicken, and she has illusion powers.
Tropes associated with Lirin:
* [[Annoying Laugh]]: Oh ''hell'' yes!
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
* [[Unknown Rival]]: [http://www.animevice.com/haineko/18-25111/all-images/84-155022/bleach1314/83-180843/ To Haineko].
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Kon

===Kurodo===
[[File:Kurodo human 6005.jpg|thumb|250px|Human Kurodo]]
[[File:Kurodo
Another modified soul created by Urahara. He can copy the appearances and abilities of others, and his stuffed animal self is a bizarre looking bunny. He is close friends with Orihime.
Tropes associated with Kurodo:
* [[Butt Monkey]]
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
** Kurodo is the official translation, but the characters used in writing his name aren't usually read that way. Some fansubs even rendered it ''Cloud''.
* [[Training from Hell]]
{{break}}
===Noba===
[[File:Noba human 5760.jpg|thumb|250px|Human Noba]]
[[File:Noba
The last of the three modified souls created by Urahara, and a close friend of Chad. He has power over space, and his stuffed animal form is a mouthless turtle.
Tropes associated with Noba:
* [[Barrier Warrior]]
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
* [[Tomokazu Sugita]]
* [[Training from Hell]]
{{break}}
== The Bount ==
The Bount are a group of humans that gain immortality by feasting on human souls. They have weapons known as "dolls", a similar equivalent to Zanpakuto.
[[File:
The leader of the Bounts, and [[Big Bad]] of the Bount arc. While at first it seems like his goal is to create a portal to Hueco Mundo and join Aizen, his real objective is to create a portal to Soul Society in order to take revenge for the mass slaughter of Bounts centuries ago. His Doll is Messer.
----
Line 95 ⟶ 96:
* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]: Possibly.}}
* [[Evil Albino]]: He looks like one, but he wasn't born with his white hair and red eyes; their color changed when he first merged with Messer.
* [[Expy]]: It's easy to view Kariya as an Aizen clone; both are [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative]], [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|have no qualms about offing their underlings when the situation calls for it]] (although Kariya actually ''has'' [[Pet the Dog|displayed genuine care for their well-beings]]), [[Chessmaster|can devise plenty of well-thought-out schemes]] ([[Gambit Roulette|more so]] on Aizens' part), and are fond of smirking rather smugly most of the time. His similarities to Aizen were so much so, that it was originally speculated by the protagonists that Kariya's goal was to join Aizen, or that the latter contacted Kariya to deal with the Soul Society while he prepares his army of [[The Heartless|hollows]]. The main differences are that Kariya is implied to have been a
** More arguably, Kariya can be seen as an expy of [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Sensui]].
* [[Filler Villain]]: Along with the rest of the Bounts.
* [[Finger-Poke of Doom]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]
* [[Interim Villain]]: [[Filler Villain]] or no, the anime actually tied him into the Arrancar storyline by having him return as a vision to Ichigo, indirectly assisting in getting Ichigo himself to defeat his Inner Hollow.
*
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: If you're not a Bount, you're either an enemy or just a pawn to him. And even the other Bounts, whom he ''does'' display some signs of genuinely caring for, tend to get sacrificed with alarming regularity.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His Doll's, Messer means "knife", and is probably one of the few Doll names which makes a little sense.
* {{spoiler|[[Omnicidal Maniac]]: His ultimate goal is to destroy the Soul Reapers, the human souls, and even himself.}}
Line 113 ⟶ 114:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]
===Gou Koga===
[[File:Go Koga.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Jin's right hand man. Besides Yoshino, he's the most sympathetic of the Bounts. His Doll is Dalk.
----
Line 131 ⟶ 132:
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: To Hitsugaya.
[[File:
Jin's former lover. She despises how Jin has changed the Bounts to fuel his ambitions, and wants nothing less than to destroy him. Her Doll is Goethe.
----
Line 148 ⟶ 149:
* {{spoiler|[[Temporary Love Interest]] (to Uryu, though debateable with all the [[I Miss Mom]] undertones.}}
===Mabashi===
[[File:Mabashi.jpg|
One of the Bounts. Like Yoshino, he initially hated how Bount society has changed under Jin's rule. However, after getting a taste of the power Jin offers, he quickly changes his mind. His Doll is Ritz.
Line 161:
* [[People Puppets]]: His Doll's ability.
[[File:Yoshi.jpg|thumb|250px]]
One of the Bounts. She is easily the most violent and unhinged of the tribe. Has no relation to a [[Super Mario Bros.|certain green dinosaur]]. Her Doll is Nieder.
Line 178:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
[[File:
The first truly villainous Bount introduced. He is smug, arrogant and a general snob. His Doll is Friida.
Line 191:
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]: Tries to defeat Jin and take over. It doesn't go very well.}}
* [[Whip It Good]]
{{break}}
[[File:
The oldest of the Bounts, at least judging by his appearance. It's implied by Mabashi that he looks so old due to having consumed too many living souls. His Doll is Baura.
Line 203 ⟶ 204:
* [[Big Eater]]: Baura can swallow and spit back anything.
* [[Elderly Immortal]]
* [[Nightmare Face]]: Busts out a pretty [http://maxmanrules.deviantart.com/art/Bount-Demontivational-Poster-206065048 impressive]{{Dead link}} one during his first fight.
* [[Reality Warper]]
* [[Right-Hand Attack Dog|Right Hand Attack Fish]]: His Doll, Baura, looks like a giant whale-like fish made of stone.
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]: During his fight with Mayuri, he reveals that his dream is to replace Kariya as leader of the Bounts.}}
[[File:Ugaki.jpg|thumb|250px]]
A Bount who helped Jin perfect the Bitto. He is smug, but prefers to stay back and let his Doll and allies do the fighting. His Doll is Gesell.
Line 227 ⟶ 228:
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]: He really loses his cool when Ichigo and Renji defeat Gesell. Jin abandoning him did ''not'' help.}}
===Ho and Ban===
[[File:290px-Ho Ban 9179.png|thumb|250px]]
Two twin Bounts who look like children or young teenagers. They share the control of their Dolls, Guhl and Günther.
----
Line 237 ⟶ 238:
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]
* {{spoiler|[[Wonder Twin Powers]]}}: {{spoiler|More effective when closer together}}.
== Zanpakuto Spirits ==
These are the manifested spirits inside the Shinigami's Zanpakuto. Most of these debuted in the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales [[Filler]] Arc, while only a few appeared in the actual canon manga.
===Zabimaru===
[[File:190px-Zabimaru Spirit 5590.png|thumb|250px]]
The spirit(s) of Renji's sword. At first they take the form of a baboon with a snake for a tail, but in the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales filler arc they take the form of a furry woman ("Chimpette") and a snake-like boy ("Snakey") chained together.
----
Line 264:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]: Lavender-pink, in Chimpette's case.
[[File:
The spirit of Hitsugaya's sword. At first he takes the form of a large ice dragon, but in the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales filler arc he is a human, the reason why being left to the viewers' imaginations. He is the third (and so far last) spirit seen in the Bleach canon.
----
Line 281:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Turquoise Hair]]
===Muramasa===
[[File:190px-Muramasa Katana 7181.png|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of an unknown shinigami's sword
----
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Ichigo feels that way about him.
* [[Arc Villain]]: He personally orchestrated the Zanpakuto Rebellion, but it was to get his master unsealed, so that essentially put him along the lines of a [[Dragon-in-Chief]]. Once Kouga gets unsealed, he betrays Muramasa and fights Byakuya, but dies after five episodes, leaving [[Dragon Ascendant|Muramasa]] as the [[Final Boss]] for the Zanpakuto arc.
* [[Badass Longcoat]] (A bit flamboyant version, but still pretty badass, considering he took down the Soul Society in ONE night for crying out loud!).
* [[Diabolus Ex Machina]]: Arguably can be said this happened when he had Sode No Shirayuki retreat before Rukia had a chance to try to turn her back to the good guys side which eventually leads to
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Trust us, he has dedicated fangirls.
* [[Evil Plan]]: Overthrow Shinigami rule of the Soul Society
* [[Expy]]: A pale, melancholic character identified with tear streaks of an abnormal color, with a form described as "true despair", who manages to gain the sympathy of Orihime despite performing monstrous acts? [[Sarcasm Mode|Doesn't ring any bells, at all.]]
* [[Filler Villain]]: He's the [[Final Boss]] of the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales arc, having orchestrated the Zanpakuto Rebellion and indirectly causing the emergence of the Toju in the Beast Swords mini-arc. Although {{spoiler|there is a [[Man Behind the Man]]... sort of...}}, the Rebellion appropriately starts and ends with Muramasa.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: It's implied this is how he manages to keep himself going despite his wielder being dead when he {{spoiler|vists the Forest of Menos}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Jerkass Woobie]]: For all his assholeness, you gotta feel sorry on Muramasa as Kouga's fall to madness made him getting viewed as merely a weapon, unlike [[Empathic Weapon|other zanpakutous]], and always getting dashed on 'creating their world' (interpreted by Kouga as 'creating ''his'' world'), so much that he's unable to hear his master when needed... and Kouga's [[Kick the Dog|reaction]] after getting released makes you want to feel sorry for him.}}
* [[Kansas City Shuffle]]:
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: He dressed in pure white
*
* [[Meaningful Name]]: [[wikipedia:Muramasa|See for yourself]].
* [[People Puppets]]: One of his powers is apparently invisible strings with which he can control or restrain people.
* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]: ''Twice'', though he fights Ichigo in his normal appearance. }}
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: No longer has a wielder of his own due to killing them himself. {{spoiler|[[I Lied|Or not.]]}}
* [[Tears of Blood]]: Plenty of them, possibly as a side effect of his [[Grand Theft Me]].
* [[Jamieson Prince]]: His English actor.
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: Killed his master and encouraged the other zanpakutos to rebel.
* [[Yuuichi Nakamura]]: The second ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' seiyuu in this filler arc (Fei-Long)
===Senbonzakura===
[[File:290px-Senbonzakura Bleach Episode 256 5038.jpg|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Byakuya's sword. He takes the form of a masked samurai. Dislikes the fact that {{spoiler|Byakuya has joined the ''zanpakuto's'' side of the war, and is highly distrusting of him.}}. {{spoiler|As it turns out, Bayakuya actually released him from Muramasa's brainwashing in the beginning of the arc, and he only pretends to still be brainwashed so that he and Byakuya can get close to Muramasa. Their true goal is to resurrect Muramasa's master Kouga, and per the Kuchiki clan's order/honor, kill him.}}
----
Line 316:
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: What his power looks like (and hence his name).
* [[Cool Mask]]
*
* [[Daisuke Hirakawa]]: No need to send him [[School Days|Nice Boats]], folks.
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: Quite literally.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Muramasa.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: He's like a more emotional Byakuya, his figure is above average and his face is rather bishie. It's without a wonder that [[All Women Are Lustful|Haineko and Tobiume]] [[Covert Pervert|spied on him at the men's bathroom]].... which [https://web.archive.org/web/20101219005952/http://www.zerochan.net/370337 prompted this reaction] after they noticed how he ''still'' kept the damn mask on.
* {{spoiler|[[Fake Defector]]: Although we're not sure if his reaction at Sode no Shirayuki's death (via Byakuya) was genuine or an act. }}
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Thinks he is this, but is [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]. {{spoiler|Poor Rukia.}}
Line 331:
* [[Vic Mignogna]]: Sorta sounds like a calmer, more professional-sounding [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Edward Elric]].
[[File:
The spirit of Rukia's sword. She takes the form of a white-skinned, white-haired yuki-onna, a Japanase ghost. Holds the title of "Most Beautiful ''Zanpakuto''", which Rukia takes great pride in.
----
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|White Haired]] [[Action Girl]]: [[Lady of War|Kickass]] in her own right, but lost two of the (at least) four fights she's been in.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Her standard powers. She uses them to much greater effect than Rukia ever did, even without Bankai, as in addition to the three dances, she can also shoot shards of ice.
*
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Hisana was a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]], Rukia is not. Miyako was a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]], Rukia is not. Side no Shirayuki, another [[Yamato Nadeshiko]], is the Zanpakuto of Rukia. [[Fridge Brilliance|Hmmm....]]
* [[Japanese Honorifics]]: After her [[Heel Face Turn]], she uses "-dono" on fellow Zanpakutos, and calls Rukia "-sama."
Line 349:
* [[Youkai]]: Is pretty obviously a yuki-onna, or "snow woman".
===Kazeshini===
[[File:290px-Kazeshini Full Body ep260 7101.png|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Hisagi's sword. Takes the form of an entirely black being with white facial features that doesn't seem to be entirely within this plane of existence. Compared to Hisagi, he's pretty damn [[Ax Crazy]].
----
Line 372:
* [[Pointy Ears]]: Possibly to make him more demonic.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: By default, for ''everyone'' that employs him.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink|Real Zanpaktou Love Kids]]
* [[Rule of Sexy]]: Body-swap his clothes with Hisagi, just for fun.
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: ''Four of them'', two in each hand.
Line 378:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
===Haineko===
[[File:290px-Haineko Mughsot ep262 9548.png|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Rangiku's sword. Being the 'ash cat', she is a [[Catgirl]] covered with pink furs. Like Rangiku noted, she is lazy. She considers Rangiku to be an [[Berserk Button|old hag]], and is usually partnered with Tobiume, despite how much they bicker.
----
Line 387:
{{quote|'''Tobiume''': "You jump on every guy you meet!"
'''Haineko (smirking)''': "Yep. Too bad." }}
* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: She certainly finds Hyorinmaru, Senbonzakura and Narunosuke attractive - we're not placing any doubt on that. What caught our eyebrows was how that didn't stop her from [http://images.wikia.com/bleach/en/images/e/ef/Matsumoto_haineko.jpg leaning her face closer to Rangiku's], ''puckering her lips'' and humming flirtatiously, before shoving her away. There was also the time where she groped Tobiume to tease her about her fast chest, or when she [http://www.zerochan.net/79813 smirked coyly and hummed flirtatiously]{{Dead link}} after Yoruichi said that she'd "[[Accidental Innuendo|stop holding back]]" during their fight. What clinched it was how Haineko appeared particularly pleased at [[Clothing Damage|slashing off the cloth]] [[Male Gaze|that covered Rangiku's cleavage]]; she even licked the corner of her lips and said "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|I was trying to make you sexier]]."
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110613143428/bleach/en/images/f/fb/Narunosuke_leaves.png Complete with] [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110603123915/bleach/en/images/6/65/Haineko_vs._Narunosuke.png some Sexy Back shots] in episode 262.
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: She doesn't seem to have much of an opinion on her bust.
Line 397:
* [[Fun Personified]]: The Beast Swords mini-arc demonstrates that she can be quite the party girl when she wants.
* [[Gainaxing]]: Naturally, but it only happens once.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: She [http://www.zerochan.net/159433 took pictures]{{Dead link}} of [http://www.zerochan.net/159430 her posing with]{{Dead link}} the [http://www.zerochan.net/159429 equally-attractive Rangiku]{{Dead link}}, and showed them to the predominately-male Urahara Shop (including the Modsouls and Ichigo).
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Haineko is younger, sassier and even more flirtatious than her Shinigami, who's snarky enough to insult Rangiku by calling her an old hag, and saying that she met her expiration date (meaning she's not hot anymore). [[Fridge Brilliance|Does that mean Rangiku herself thinks that she's becoming an old hag?]]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: To an extent, though the "jerk" part was mostly shown during her time with Muramasa, and she loses much of that antagonism once Muramasa himself is defeated.
Line 408:
* [[Toplessness From the Back]]: Gets several of these shots every now and then, especially in episode 262.
* [[Sprouting Ears]]: Inverted; instead of popping out at random, they're clearly seen at all times she's on-screen, almost like it's ''part'' of her, but they tend not to twitch at most points. When they do twitch (sometimes even ''move''), it's at random and could indicate anything, from mischief and affection, to surprise and irritation.
* [[Super-Deformed]]: [http://www.zerochan.net/454416 Only once]{{Dead link}}, [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: While completely opposite in personality, whenever she's relatively calmer, she looks ''[http://s2.zerochan.net/600/29/29/76479.jpg very]'' pretty on a couple a shots.
* [[The Tease]]: A defining trait of hers, to the point where she could compete with Yoruichi and Rangiku for the biggest tease in the series. Among other acts, she ''almost kissed'' Rangiku, [http://neonstar.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/bleach-238-large-06.jpg groped Tobiume's chest] (which prompted [https://web.archive.org/web/20101220202413/http://www.zerochan.net/209406 an appropriate response]), and flirted with Kazeshini, Hyorinmaru, Rangiku ''and'' Ichigo (twice!).
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With Tobiume.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Subversion; a thigh-length stocking that doubles as a shoe on her right leg, but on her left leg, she has a fury legwarmer, revealing pretty much everything sans her foot.
===Tobiume===
[[File:290px-Tobiume spirit 4774.png|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Hinamori's sword, and according to Hinamori herself, she helped her getting over her trauma towards Aizen. The real Tobiume, however, is a snarky, nasty-mouthed little girl. Like much of the fanbase, she is sick of Hinamori's obsession over Aizen. Partnered a lot with Haineko, who really irritates her, at least until later on.
----
Line 422:
* [[Ayumi Fujimura]] (Her seiyuu, and [[Running Gag|the fourth seiyuu in this filler to be in]] ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' (Ibuki))
* [[Berserk Button]]/[[Petite Pride]]: She's not flat! She's ''[[Insistent Terminology|slim]]''.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: You might not know it first-glance, but [https://web.archive.org/web/20101218205213/http://www.zerochan.net/370342 she actually tried to sneak a peak on Senbonzakura] while he was in the mens' bathroom to see what he looked like without the mask. Although she voiced her reservations beforehand, the blush on her face was enough proof to show that she ''definitely'' enjoyed the view.
* [[Hair Decorations]] (She's got several hairpins on her hair)
* [[Hidden Depths]]: She represents part of Momo's soul that really wants to move past her Aizen stage.
Line 432:
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With Haineko.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Those temple balls become engulfed in flames, used whenever she's in combat.
* [[Tsundere]]: One Shinigami cup had her fantasizing and praising Hinamori ''right after their battle'',
{{quote|'''Tobiume''': She isn't a hag! If you insult a wonderful lady like her again, I'll never forgive you!}}
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Despite their [[Volleying Insults]], Tobiume and Haineko are nearly always seen together, which gives off the impression that they may actually ''enjoy'' arguing.
Line 439:
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] (despite being a Tsundere, she actually refers to herself as a YN and takes pride on it)
[[File:
The twin spirits of Shunsui Kyoraku's sword. They take the form of a quiet ninja girl and a mature woman with an [[Eyepatch of Power]] and a rather obvious [[Pirate Girl]] motif.
----
Line 462:
* [[The Quiet One]]: The ninja half. Aside from a few muffled noises, she never says a word.
[[File:
The twin spirits of Jushiro Ukitake's sword. Take the form of two young identical boys with white hair, green eyes and wearing light blue robes and big triangular hats. They also join hands a lot, reminiscent of how their shikai form is connected by a red rope. Their name translates to "Law of the Twin Fish".
----
Line 474:
* [[Shock and Awe]] (They can shoot lightning from their fans.)
[[File:
The spirit of Soifon's sword. She takes the form of a small, glowing fairy with light pink eyes, light-brown hair in pigtails and a stinger that takes up her entire right arm.
----
Line 487:
* [[Stripperific]]: That armor of hers doesn't seem to protect her chest that much.
[[File:
The spirit of Mayuri's sword. Takes the form of a yellow-faced baby boy with wide eyes. Upon going Bankai, the kid grows to huge levels and his body looks a LOT like a caterpillar... that exhales poison.

* [[Poisoned Weapons]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
{{break}}
===Minazuki===
[[File:290px-Minazukispirit 6720.png|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Retsu Unohana's sword. So mysterious that we still don't know if they're a boy or a girl.
----
Line 506 ⟶ 507:
* [[Super Speed]]: Performs some pretty fast [[Flash Step]] maneuvers when leading Ichigo to Kazeshini.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Not even any grunts or moans are heard from Minazuki.
{{break}}
===Hozukimaru===
[[File:290px-Hozikamru spirit Ep265 9755.png|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Ikkaku Madarame's sword. Appears as a near-naked ogre-resembling brute, sharing his wielders' fight-loving disposition, but is apparently as lazy as Ikkaku described him as. Unlike his owner, Hozukimaru is much more willing to use bankai and even calls Ikkaku out on not using it when he should have.
----
Line 522 ⟶ 524:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]] (Only wears a white loincloth.)
===Ruri'iro Kujaku===
[[File:290px-Ruriirokujaku-1 3519.jpg|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Yumichika Ayasegawa's sword. Takes the form of a human with green peacock-like feathers all over his body, aside from his head and part of chest. A very vain and condescending man, Ruri'ro Kujaku is even more of a narcissist than Yumichika himself, to the point of acting even girlier, but unlike his owner, Ruri'ro Kujaku is actually willing to use his full power from the get-go, whereas Yumichika fears the reception he'll get from Kenpachi and especially Ikkaku should they ever find out.
----
Line 538 ⟶ 540:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: See the character picture.
===Tenken===

* [[The Stoic]]
===Hisagomaru===
[[File:190px-HisagomaruSpirit 6978.jpg|thumb|250px]]
The spirit of Hanataro Yamada's sword. Takes the form of a small metal robot with a gauge for one eye. Every bit as shy, nervous and insecure as Hanataro, he is the only zanpakuto with no complaints against his master.

The spirit of Chojiro Sasakibe's sword. Appears as a grim looking [[Ronin]] with a strange backpack-like structure on his back and a long, double bladed pike.
----
Line 577 ⟶ 580:
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Hangs around with Tenken.
===Gegetsuburi===

A traitor Shinigami that serves as Jin's bodyguard. He was orginally part of Squad 11, under the captain before Kenpachi. When Kenpachi killed the old captain and took up the mantle, Ichinose was unable to accept him as a replacement for his (much) nobler captain, and left Soul Society in despair. Soon afterwards, he is saved from a Hollow by Jin, who offers him employment. Feeling he had regained a purpose, he joined Jin and quickly became his most fanatical servant. His Zanpakuto is Nijigasumi.

Tropes associated with Amagai:
*
*
*

* [[BFS]]/[[BFG]]: His Bankai is part giant hook-sword and part [[Playing with Fire|flame cannon]].
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Even alcohol-flavored pickles can get him drunk.
** [[Drunken Master]]: He once pulls a [[Big Damn Heroes]] to save his squad. And then he collapses, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|still drunk off his ass]].
*
*
*
* [[Flaming Sword]]: Raiga is a hooksword that is capable of manipulating flames. His bankai takes that to a BFS with an afterburner for a hilt.
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Amagai started out in one of the more unassuming positions in soul society, being a plainclothesman tasked with surveying rebel forces. The very nature of his position would make any sort of merit or positive reputation difficult to build up. Nevertheless, he learns Bankai, impresses superiors, their superiors, and all the captains, and makes it up all the way to [[Physical God]]hood as a Captain.
* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: His Bankai has a multitude of techniques with which to shape fire. [[Stuff Blowing Up|Lots of fire.]]
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out with a Smile]]}}: {{spoiler|Dies after telling Izuru that he enjoyed his time with him and the rest of the division}}.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]
* [[Kenyuu Horiuchi]]
* [[The Mole]]: Before being made Captain his job was to go undercover and keep track of rebel elements, thought it's implied that he was discovered and [[So Much for Stealth|had to fight his way out]] on at least one occasion.
* [[Mix-and-Match Weapon]]: [[Up to Eleven]], since we're talking a Hook-bladed [[BFS]]+ a afterburner [[BFG]] with massive amounts of fire as ammunition. There's even a massive Conch-shell hand-guard that acts as a very good shield.
* [[Nice Guy]]: He's sincere and compassionate about wanting to unify the various factions in the Soul Society military hierarchy, and he's an approachable and even-handed captain, hanging out with his men to get to know them better.
* [[Won't Work On Me]]:
* [[Playing with Fire]]: His Zanpakuto.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: {{spoiler|Or so the characters thought,}} especially since he's willing to believe Ichigo and let himself be branded a criminal in order to help him find the truth.

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: He was sealed throughout the majority of the Zanpakuto Rebellion; Muramasa's primary goal was the release his Shinigami wielder from captivity. Once he was released, two flashback episodes showed his [[Start of Darkness]], then he betrayed Muramasa, fought Byakuya... and died just after that, leaving {{spoiler|a Hollowfied}} Muramasa as the [[Final Boss]] for the Zanpakuto arc.
*
* {{spoiler|[[Miscarriage of Justice]]}}: Koga pretty much slammed the door on this trope, as he didn't even give them a chance to prove him innocent or guilty, he took revenge on the accusing captains, and then when informed that this had pretty much annihilated any chance he would have been found innocent, he went nuts, which lead to his eventual sealing.

Line 903 ⟶ 911:
* [[Custom Uniform of Sexy]]: She wears a ''really'' short shihakusho with [[Zettai Ryouiki|over-knee boots]] as her Shinigami uniform, which looks very similiar to Lisa's in [[Whole-Episode Flashback|Turn Back the Pendulum]].
* [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]: Wears one as part of her uniform, and she's evidently ''the most powerful female fighter'' in the series.

* [[Expy]]: Of Senna, they're both mcguffin girls and are semi-soul reapers.
* [[Flat Character]]: Although it was clear from the outset she was going to be a unique, special character, a large part of the fandom views her as very poorly characterised.

Line 921 ⟶ 929:
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Defensive and cold towards Kon, but less so around Ichigo.
** Her initial cold shoulder was explained indirectly by her {{spoiler|connection to Yushima.

----
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Has a similar relationship with Nozomi.

* [[Back from the Dead]]: Sorta.
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Was able to beat an ([[Worf Had the Flu|admittedly weakened]]) Ichigo in a straight fight,<ref>which includes blocking a Hollowfied Getsuga Tensho unscathed</ref> even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] the fact that he's not relying on any cheap tricks (unlike a certain ''other'' [[Mad Scientist]] Shinigami).
** Which begs the question: how is he so powerful?
* [[Bad Boss]]: Seeing how he's an Aizen Expy, this one was almost a given.
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Inverted. {{spoiler|While he inherited Yushima's [[Mad Scientist|intelligence and evil thoughts]], the far prettier Nozomi got Ouko's good looks and more positive personality traits}}.
Line 941 ⟶ 949:
* [[Blade on a Stick]]/[[Double Weapon]]: His Zanpakuto, Raiku.
* [[Blood Knight]]: The Reigais are noticeably more aggressive than their originals.
* [[Brother Chuck]]:

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Could argue he fills a similar niche to Szayel for Mayuri, but
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Evil Plan]]:
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Pretty much obligatory for villains in Bleach.
* [[Exotic Eye Designs]]: reigai change their iris color into bluish purple. It's the best way to determine if you're talking to the real Shinigami or not.
Line 953 ⟶ 961:
* [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]: His goals were revealed fairly early on ([[Half Truth|created the Modsouls]]; created Reigai as payback for getting his Modsoul research shafted; and wanted to fuse with Nozomi to get her power), but his motivation was kept a secret until the last few episodes. In particular, {{spoiler|he's one-half of Yushima's soul, the real creator of the Modsouls, and he needed to fuse with Nozomi - the other half - in order to restore Yushima's sanity and boost the latters' power exponentially. }}
* [[Interim Villain]]: The anime actually manages to tie him into the storyline by addressing the Janitor-less issues regarding the Dangai, but it's inverted - Inaba makes his debut ''after'' Aizen's defeated, though the time fluctuations in the Dangai (caused by Aizen destroying the Janitor) were fixed following Inaba facing his own demise.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: During his fight with Ichigo he states that he's not using "cheap tricks".
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Somewhat more overt about it than Aizen, though.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Kage" means "shadow", which fits really well when you consider he is
*
* [[Mirror Match]]: Partly averted sometimes by his Reigais, as
** Furthermore,
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Green and blonde.

* [[Pet the Dog]]:

* [[Psycho Rangers]]: The Reigai are copies of their Shinigami originals, with the same memories and abilities, but their personality differences are subtle, yet easy to spot out.
* [[Red Right Hand]]: The Reigai all have a bracelet with a black diamond on their wrist.

** [[Not So Stoic]]: only while fighting. [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you realize that his Zanpakuto command is "Go Mad".
**
* [[Smug Snake]]: Has a rather petty motive (see [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]), values himself (far) over his subordinates, treats poor Nozomi (who's essentially his sister) like ''shit'', and would have lost his fight with Mayuri (pretty badly) were it not for a contingency plan that {{spoiler|Mayuri basically ALLOWED him to implement out of curiosity}}. He's a serious threat, alright, but it certainly doesn't justify his God complex.
** The idea of his arrogance was actually explained with [[The Reveal]] {{spoiler|that Inaba is the vengeful and megalomaniacal portion of Yushima. It's the equivalent to a child imagining that he Curb-Stomped a few bullies, since he wasn't able to do so himself in reality. [[Fridge Brilliance|Now, what if that child had the power to make that a reality, by splitting his soul into pieces that embody different aspects of his personality?]]. }}

Ex-member of the 12th divison

* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Shares the role of [[Big Bad Duumvirate|joint-antagonist]] with her younger brother, but usually doesn't participate in a fight, instead acting as backseat support in that regard. To compensate, she has the most screen time and dialogue out of the two siblings, mainly because of her interactions with Rukia throughout the movie. She caused ''quite'' a finale

He has only two tricks: He can whip around the [[Nigh Invulnerable]] chains connecting him to hell to defend from attacks, and he also has a generic sword beam that he rarely uses and never does anything significant with.

** But Aizen wanted to kill his friend and hang their bodies for Ichigo to see, even if he didn't in the end. It's the thoughts that counts.
* [[Cool Sword]]: Wields a black katana-like sword.
*
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: His reason for helping Ichigo's gang rescue Yuzu from Shuren is because he once had a little sister who died because he failed to save her.
*
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: His voice actor is the same for [[One Piece|Zoro's]], whose biggest rival has a sword named Kokuto Yoru. Eye-candy for the [[Yaoi Fangirl]], likely foreshadowing Zoro's attainment of "best swordsman in the world", and a [[Shout-Out]] to {{spoiler|their eventual, but brief team-up}}.
** His sword also resembles Date Masamune's Dragon Fangs weapon from [[Sengoku Basara]] 3. Masamune is also voiced by [[Kazuya Nakai]].
*
* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|His betrayal and defeat are very similar to Aizen. After they turned to be [[Not Quite Dead]], they reveal their betrayal by stabbing someone (Aizen -> Momo/Kokuto -> Ichigo), and they [[Curb Stomp Battle|pretty much destroy]] someone close to the victim (Aizen -> Hitsugaya/Kokuto -> Rukia, Uryu, Renji and Yuzu). Both are defeated by Ichigo's new super powered form (Final Getsuga Tensho/Skullclad Form) using a new technique (Mugetsu/Flaming Getsuga), and after they survive the attack (albiet left with great injuries from it), they still think they've won, only to be sealed away.}}

*
*
* {{spoiler|[[Hero-Killer]]}}:
*
* [[Implacable Man]]: Crosses over to [[Nigh Invulnerability]]. {{spoiler|He gets dumped into a pool of lava and his clothes don't even get charred; he '''[[Is That the Best You Can Do?|laughs off]]''' [[Is That the Best You Can Do?|two direct blasts from Ichigo's Super Hollow Form]], and survives a point blank ''[[Kill It with Fire|Flaming Getsuga Tensho]]''. In the end, he's not even killed - just sealed away.}}
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: Played Bleach Soul Resurrección? Then you already know everything about him before the movie's even out, pretty much ruining [[The Reveal]] that ''' {{spoiler|[[It Was His Sled|HE'S EVIL]]}}'''.
*
*
*
* [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|Kokuto Debuted in Bleach Soul Resurrección]]
*
*
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Exclusively for the fourth film; he ends up joining Ichigo's gang against the Togabito for the duration of the movie.

===Shuren===
[[File:290px-Shuren ep 299 5492.jpg|thumb|250px]]
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Tohru Furuya]] (JP)}}
The ringleader of a Togabito (Denizens of Hell) band that wants to break their chains keeping them inside Hell. He himself is the most normal-looking one of the bunch.
----
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Variation. The shackle around his neck is grey in the anime but red in the manga and the actual movie.
*
* [[Bishounen]]: By ''far'' the most attractive Togabito amongst his team.
** And with {{spoiler|Kokuto's huge scar}}, I think it's safe to call him the most attractive Togabito of all.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Shuren and his Togabito are the only movie characters to appear in both the manga and the anime (albiet in a Spin-off chapter/filler episode).
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: In-universe example;
*
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Not as much as [[Chewing the Scenery|Kokuto]] but he has his moments.
* [[Missing Trailer Scene]]: Nearly every trailer for the movie had him say "Welcome to Hell". It's actually ''Kokuto'' who says this.
*
* [[The Nameless]]: Variation. He doesn't reveal his name until about 50 minutes into the movie, {{spoiler|which basically green-lit his death scene}}. Subverted if you read/watched the prologue (a special one-off chapter titled "Bleach imaginary 01 and Episode 299 of the anime).
** [[The Faceless]]: Again, save for one moment where we see his eye and a lock of hair, we don't see his face until 50 minutes into the movie; ''again'' subverted if you read/watched the prologue.
* [[No Kill Like Overkill]]:
*
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Seems to be able to control fire.
Line 1,233 ⟶ 1,240:
* [[The Worf Barrage]]: The largest amount of damage his fire based attacks cause is ''[[Clothing Damage|ripping Ichigo's shirt]]''. Then again, Shuren himself said that he wouldn't kill Ichigo with those fire blasts; it's subverted since it was his own decision not to make them as powerful.
** [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Had he actually gone all-out from the start in that instance, he would've killed Ichigo. Since Shuren chose to dick around, Ichigo managed to outmaneuver him by their last bout.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Boasts for the most part of the movie,
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Recent pieces merchandise in Japan (Trading Cards, Posters, etc) have spelled his name as ''Syuren''.
* [[Tohru Furuya]]
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]:
===Gonjo===
[[File:290px-Gonj333 5747.jpg|thumb|250px]]

A Togabito with a giant black sword that assists in fighting Ichigo for the first part of the film, before losing his mask and getting forced back into Hell.
Line 1,286 ⟶ 1,293:
* [[Gonk]]: Despite being quite human-looking under the mask (unlike his colleagues), he's no looker.
* {{spoiler|[[Ironic Hell]]: He ends up getting killed by one}}
* [[Mask Power]]:
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: A villainous example.
* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]]
