Another nothing of a Bleach tidbit but thumbing through old bleach and i always forget about about these random little dudes helping Niko carry the stretcher with Rukia/Urahara's gigai??? They never show up again, and this whole scene actually doesn't exist in the anime.

It's funny, there's a pretty robust history of ukyio-e paintings centering on anthropomorphized animals, and frogs in particular are a common subject. But oddly the cricket(?) and bugs in general don't really seem to get that same treatment nearly as often, which seems strange given Japan's love of bugs. But it seems odd to put the two together.

Are they yokai? In the context of the 12th division they do give off Hyakki Yagyo vibes, and certainly the wide variety of creatures in the night parade tend to include some animaloids, although usually those are more like foxes and tanuki and bakeneko. Were they experimented on or otherwise modified like so many spotlight members of 12th divison? Or are they animal people like Komamura?

Kisuke: *enters the room and sees Mayuri doing calligraphy and approaches him* What are you writing? Mayuri: Central 46 would like to know what kind of stuff we have in here and if we're manufacturing any potential weapons. I'm letting them know that's private information. Kisuke: Eh? But doesn't this just say "fuck around and find out"? In calligraphy..

Opinion on the 12th division?

Current 12th division? Eh, my opinion on them as a division is mixed like I have a distaste for some of their actions and yet I'm mainly invested in certain characters of that division. If characters like Akon, Nemu, and Mayuri weren't in it, then 12th division wouldn't be as noteworthy to me despite how essential they are to the Seireitei.

The first scene of the 12th division reacting to Rukia's gigai (ew) and even before that where it's likely that they were behind Project Spearhead to use dead bodies doesn't exactly endear me with them lol. I will say that the designs of the individual members in their manga debut fit well with how they work compared to your normal, everyday shinigami, love that aspect of them.

It says a lot that this division's officers were behind it which I feel uncomfortable with. However, I do feel a little sorry for the unassuming shinigami in Squad 12 that are just there like Mayuri being their captain, potentially getting turned into living bombs without consent (who even consents to that?!) no thanks, bro.

However, I'll admit that they're important in creating the Soul Society tech that I enjoyed seeing in the early arcs. Watching them in the TYBW anime somewhat helps in viewing them in different scenarios outside their comfort zone, especially Akon and Mayuri. Akon adds so much personality and quirks to the division's scenes, despite being a non-combative side character who does his job no matter what (dude needs a vacation plz).

Besides that, there are details about this division that do interest me like how they'll create stuff for Squad 11, like Kenpachi's eyepatch and Ikkaku's teeth, like are they open to requests? Also, Hikifune and Senjumaru hail from 12th division before Urahara set up the SRDI makes me wonder what previous purpose 12th division was meant to represent.

Thanks for the ask, anon!

Who would win the fight?

This is a 12th division kinda poll. Who do you think and I wanna see arguments!

[uraharasandals]

Theory time, because I was messing around with timelines (I.e. creating a comprehensive timeline of Bleach because literally no one else did), I realised a few things.

While Mayuri did end up becoming president of SDRI and 12th Captain, he didn't do it immediately after Urahara left, contrary to popular belief. This can be seen in Chapter 642, where Akon specifically says 'The fifth one was able to get to the embryo stage. With that technology, the captain could modify his zanpakutou and become captain.' Now, judging from the makeup Mayuri had on his face in the flashbacks, it was clearly a different one from when he was freshly out of the Maggot's Nest, or even 9 years along the line, when the Hollowfication Incident happened. Which means there was a lapse of time between when Urahara was gone from Soul Society and Mayuri became Captain.

We can assume, however, that he became lieutenant - this much was plausible, given that he was the 3rd seat when Hiyori was still there. While a Division has been shown to survive without Captains (3rd, 5th and 9th after the betrayal trio fucked off), it doesn't really do without a lieutenant. And regardless of whether the 12th did end up promoting Mayuri or not, he would've still been left in charge, since he was the next highest ranking officer.

Except would he, really? Because while not everyone was alerted to the fact that he was picked up from the Maggot's Nest, surely background checks would've been a thing once he starts being in the public eye, and he's starting to be the guy in charge. I hope that someone decides that leaving this guy in charge of the 12th and answerable only to Yamamoto is dangerous, and slots someone in to watch over him. (Or not, because Soul Society is fucked up like that)

Now, let's look at Shutara Senjumaru:

She's a member of Squad Zero, which everyone assumes is before the Gotei 13. Certainly a few members (Oh-etsu, Ichibe) would've been there, but it's specifically stated that Tenjirou, Kirio and Senjumaru were past Gotei 13 captains. My guess is Tenjirou is in the 2nd generation of captains, the ones immediately after the first bunch of murderous criminals. Kirio is obviously promoted 110 years ago. So what about Senjumaru?

A lot of people think that, given her skills, the obvious choice of her contribution would've been the shihakushou. Personally, I agree. However, that would mean her existing before the Gotei 13, especially since the OG are clearly seen to be wearing the shihakushou in the battle scene. And yet, neither Unohana nor Yamamoto seem to be close to her. Nor does she enjoy the same amount of reverence (and nonchalance to rules, privilege, etc.) that Oh-etsu and Ichibee seem to adopt.

This is not to say that she can't be an antisocial member of the Gotei 13 who is very big on rules, of course, but I find it strange nonetheless. She also shows clearly that she knows Mayuri and are on rather friendly (hostile, to be clear, because that seems to be how he conducts his relationships) terms with him. She also mentions that she'd snuck into his lab before.

So with all of that information, I want to put forward a theory that Shutara Senjumaru was possibly the captain of the 12th after Urahara left. Considering the context of 110 years ago, I don't think the theory holds very well lmao, but I'd love to hear some thoughts :)

This is my fan character Nimaiya Fuyuki. She is the sister of Ōetsu Nimaiya and a ghost member of the 12th Division. She has been a member of 12th ever since it was created, so she has seen all the captains it has had so far. Not much is known about her since the Head Captain sends her usually for long missions that can take centuries...and those missions are top secret ones. Despite this, she seems to know EVERYBODY and their secrets! Luckily she just likes to have fun~. Much to Mayuri's displeasure...(They have a love-hate relationship since Fuyuki just loves to piss of Mayuri yet she also loves him [secretly]. Poor Mayuri, back in the day when Urahara Kisuke was captain both he and Fuyuki just made his life living-hell...no wonder the guy has issues.)

🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡

I wanted to try to portray in this picture how positive and fun-loving (plus mischievous) a person Fuyuki is. She is dressed up in a little bit modernized waitress outfit (those black ribbons are actually suspenders), yet somehow seems that piece of cake will never make its way to the person whom it's supposed to get it...

Kisuke: What is your biggest weakness?

Mayuri: I can be uncooperative.

Kisuke:

Kisuke: Hmm, okay. Can you give me an example?

Mayuri, without hesitation: No.
