#Kūgo Ginjō

[dreadsuitsamus]

after re-reading the lost agent arc, i'm a lot more emotional this time around then i was when i first watched it. perhaps it's because kūgo means more to me than he did initially. i first wrote off the lost agent arc as something almost like canon filler in a way, because it was so short and didn't seem to have lasting consequences (keep in mind, i haven't finish tybw nor have i started the cfyow novels) and overall felt like it didn't fit very well. and my opinion that it was rushed still holds true for me, and i wish certain things did get more time for expansion. the arc is incredibly overlooked and forgotten about, but after spending the afternoon reading it and experiencing it again, i definitely have a lot more appreciation than i did. the ending of it made me quite sad, honestly

goodbye to our xcution

Kinda happy to see Shukuro and Kugo again.

Stats for characters J through L!

Fourth round of stats! There are 29 characters in the J - L group. Shinigami make up the majority this time with 14, Quincy with 6, Arrancar with 4, Soul with 3, and Human with 2.

👍 Most Smashable Characters.

SHINIGAMI: Jūshirō Ukitake with an 83% smash rate across 965 votes (801 Smashed / 164 Passed)

QUINCY: Jugram Haschwalth with a 65.2% smash rate across 287 votes (187 Smashed / 100 Passed)

ARRANCAR: Luders Friegen with a 37.1% smash rate across 197 votes (73 Smashed / 124 Passed) — technically an overall Pass.

SOUL: Kūkaku Shiba with an 87.6% smash rate across 266 votes (234 Smashed / 32 Passed) — the Overall Winner of this group.

HUMAN: Jackie Tristan with a 68.1% smash rate across 229 votes (156 Smashed / 73 Passed)

👎 Least Smashable Characters.

SHINIGAMI: Jirōbō Ikkanzaka with a 97.4% pass rate across 233 votes (7 Smashed / 226 Passed)

QUINCY: Jerome Guizbatt with a 96.8% pass rate across 240 votes (7 Smashed / 211 Passed)

ARRANCAR: Lumina and Verona with a 98% pass rate across 204 votes (4 Smashed / 200 Passed) — the Overall Loser of this group.

SOUL: Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko with a 90.1% pass rate across 223 votes (22 Smashed / 201 Passed)

HUMAN: Kūgo Ginjō with a 48.1% pass rate across 343 votes (178 Smashed / 165 Passed) — technically an overall Smash.

This is another round with bonus polls!

We already know Kūgo Ginjō placed in the least smashable characters whilst having an overall smash rate (51.9%) for our Human type, but he's also the least "least smashable" — his second form has the lowest pass of this group — 53.7% across 311 votes (143 Smashed / 168 Passed)

Kaname Tōsen had two polls this round, with his regular form securing an overall smash rate of 63.1% across 317 votes (200 Smashed / 117 Passed) and his hollow form doing significantly worse with an overall pass rate of 75.9% across 278 votes (67 Smashed / 211 Passed) — on this, the monster fucker website?

Should bonus rounds be included in part of the overall stats, or are they fine like this as fun extra info? Asking in anticipation of the seven Aizen polls on the horizon. (Lord have mercy.)

monthly word count - march

TOTAL: 4 512 ... *whine* can't-start-nothin-itis was REALLY bad this month. :( POSTED : nothin! IN PROGRESS (all bleach) -suburban ot4 (695 words) -daemon AU: the fullbringers arc (1 756 words) -bloodsport (83 words) (but i plotted more!) -pack fuckening epilogue (1 966 words) (maybe one fourth done. sob) -superheroes AU (12 words) (=_=) also posted: bleach - pack fuckening chapter 6. now to finish that friggin epilogue... hghghhh

-- suburban ot4 -- "Okay, release paperwork to sign, blank reports, address book..." Kurosaki is making his way down the stairs without looking, riffling through his satchel. "... Address is filled, permission slip for the Kyoto trip..." "Daddy's going to work?" "Mm yep," he hums back, still peering inside his bag as he wanders across the room. "Just for a little bit. Daddy's visiting a student and then coming back home." He drops a blind kiss on his son's skull, then another on his wife's-- Then pauses exactly two inches off Nelliel's hair, lips still pursed. "... Um." ... Pffhahaha. The bright, hopeful grin Nelliel sends him makes him heave a sigh, ears turning red. Grimmjow starts smirking wider in anticipation of heckling him into committing to it... Then he just does it on his own. The kiss he drops on her in turn lands on her fringe, at the top of her forehead -- more noisy and showy than real, but it still happens. She laughs, surprised, happy. Grimmjow laughs, more incredulous than anything. The princess presses a hand to her mouth to stifle giggles. "Where's mine, assh... butt?" Ichigo narrows his eyes meanly. Kazui calls out like a little town crier, in case the neighborhood's hard of hearing, "Assbutt!" and brandishes his drawing with both hands. -- daemon AU -- "... I suppose. But it's hard to find a way to talk to you without the... honor guard." Wow, the doubtful little pause in the middle, the harmless smile afterwards. The slow glide, in and out, of the tigress' claw tips, half-hidden behind her curled tail. "You could have come up while they were around," Rikuto says. "We really couldn't have," the tigress says, regretful. They stare at each other. Ichigo throws his bag, then hops across the gap after it. "Oh, they're nice." He bats dust off his pants legs, casually. "Well, most of them. Probably. Okay, where's the door?" The guy blinks, a little thrown. "You just got here and you already wanna leave? You don't have a problem with heights, I hope." Her Ichigo pauses to scowl at the guy, who replies with a smarmy grin, full of teeth. Rikuto snorts. Guys with big cats are all assholes, it seems. "Just sit down if you're scared," the guy drawls, playful mockery in every syllable. "I'll even lend you my jacket so you don't dirty your pants." "Dude," Ichigo deadpans back, "I already have a boyfriend." Then he rolls his eyes. So he misses the way the tigress' ears flick up; but Rikuto doesn't. "So who the hell are you and what were you stalking us for," she says, cutting through the oncoming bullshit and seven centuries of coy not-getting-to-the-point. It's a little satisfying to see the smarm slide off the guy's face to be replaced by seriousness. "Right. I'm Ginjō Kūgo. This is Yozora. We arrived in town last week, and... Ah, there's no good way of saying this." His brow knits into concern, worry. "How come you're surrounded by Fullbringers and not a one of them taught you how to do it?" -- pack fuckening epilogue -- He hopped over a tree trunk, and promptly caught his toe on it and tripped when his sleeve started ringing out of nowhere. His foot landed with a wet squelch in something unidentifiable; he plunged his hand down his sleeve to grab the spirit flip phone Urahara had inflicted on him somehow. "Yeah? -- oh, gross." "Who are you calling gross, little boy?" -- Oh. He stopped walking, phone pressed to his ear and one foot still up, trying to flick the weird mush out from between his toes. "Rukia? They called you in?" Just hearing her voice made his shoulders relax, his back straighten. He'd been feeling so -- "I came with the Captain-Commander." Her voice was all no-nonsense, extra-professional; Kyoraku was probably in the room with her. Ichigo tried not to feel too disappointed. He'd hoped... "Now Urahara-san tells us a garganta just opened and closed, can you confirm?" "Yeah, they just left. Peacefully and with half of my house's entire stock of pillows." He was rewarded with a little 'heh.' "And your estimated time of arrival at the shop?" "Oh, uh." Ugh. Five minutes if he flew, but he didn't want to fly. "Fifte... thirty minutes. I gotta... stuff." "Very well." She turned away from the phone, voice gone muffled as she relayed his words. Sigh. "Alright," she said all at once, in such a different tone he almost startled. "I'm in the ladies' room. Tell me why you're coming back on foot. Are you brooding?" Ichigo spluttered, and shoved a branch out of his face with a little more -- enthusiasm. (Relief.) "What the hell makes you think that?!" "If you were injured you'd say so. You wouldn't make poor Inoue cry thinking of you limping back through rough terrain on your lonesome." "...Mngh."   "Also... Ichigo, I'm an alpha too. Do you think I don't understand how it might feel to devote a couple nights slaking a lover's lust and shielding their most intimate vulnerabilities only for them to disappear in the morning?" He swallowed. Cleared his throat. "... I keep forgetting you're an alpha." "Bullshit you do, you're just a deviant." "Ugh, shut up. Nobody still goes by Sengoku era rules for friend groups." Fewer and fewer people even still held onto it for actual packs in the Living World, but Soul Society, he knew, held firmly to that rule at least. A household might have several omegas, and definitely several betas, but more than one, unrelated alpha? Too shocking. Kind of... gay. Rukia's voice went teasingly cloying. "There, there, it's okay if you consider me a senior alpha, a patriarch of sorts, a mentor in the ways of--" "I really, really don't." "Hmph. Upstart." "You really missed an occasion to call me a whippersnapper there."

@skyvar asked: ’ 🛌 (Yeong-Hui :^)’

『🌹』 Welp. To say that Yeong-Hui was pretty disappointed about getting stabbed in the middle of the street would... actually be fairly close to the truth. Much as an understatement as it sounds like, they didn’t really seem too receptive to the current state of events - nor did they have any clue how to respond when it came to the nurde’s questions about how violently they retaliated; in fact, they seemed to have little to no memory of the incident at all. They simply sat in their bed, trusting the nurses to be doing the right thing until they could go back home and tend to their frogs again, get back to their life.

At the very least, they shared a room with someone in the hospital; kind of a looker, too, even if whatever he went through did a number on him. They didn’t really like being in too much pain, but again, they seemed only mildly inconvenienced by what happened. They may as well pass the time with a little light conversation, why the hell not?

“Weeeell, shit.”, they spoke up, once the two of them were left alone; or as alone as they could get in each others’ presence. “What happened to you? You gonna be okay, man?”

SPECIFIC DATA

SUMMARY

Jackie was born and grew up in an inland slum of Acapulco. In 1977, shortly after she received a stolen pair of leather boots as a gift from her father, he, her mother, and her younger brother were all killed. Although the proximate cause of this was her father being engaged with fencing goods on the black market, the actual reason was that he’d stolen goods from a local organized gang.

The sole survivor, she would soon after apply for asylum in the United States, and would ultimately be accepted in 1978. Sent to live with relatives in Houston, Texas, she had difficulty making friends and fitting in, and her Fullbring powers developed during this time. While she naturalized in 1983, she never felt she fit in. Immediately after graduating high school in 1987, she joined the United States Marine Corps on a 6-year contract with Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 4300, Basic Combat Correspondent, and was sent for the then-standard 10 weeks of boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California. She next went to Camp Pendleton, California for Marine Combat Training, and Fort Meade, Maryland for her MOS school. Finally, she transferred to her first base at MCAS Iwakuni in Japan.

Jackie found the USMC suited her little better than life in Texas had, although she quickly gained an appreciation for Japan itself. She completed a bachelor’s degree on base through testing and in-class instruction and was honorably discharged as a Sergeant (E-5) in 1993. Having encountered and befriended bōsōzoku during her military service due to her penchant for motorcycle riding, and having been offered employment by more well-to-do members who used the activity to blow off steam, she applied for a work visa and took up one of the offers. She worked as a kind of novelty bartender (and bouncer) first in Hiroshima and then later in Osaka. Her fairly rudimentary knowledge of the USMC’s LINE close-quarters combat system developed extensively in this period and she also took up Karate.

In 1998, after completing her five-year work visa, she applied for and was granted permanent residency with eleven years spent in Japan. It was the year after that when she first met Ginjō Kūgo and joined Xcution. After their defeat by Ichigo in 2003 and losing her Fullbring, Dirty Boots (albeit not her Fullbringer powers as she still retained her Soul King shard) she worked for herself until early 2004, when she was brought onboard Y. Hans Enterprises. Officially their Public Relations Executive, in truth she fulfilled Yukio’s desire to look after Fullbringers at large and was the point woman for locating them and providing aid and assistance—saving them the way she herself wished she had been saved.

She kept this up off and on through 2018, when leads began to dry up, and then shifted her role to being Y. Hans Enterprises’ liaison to Karakura. As part of that role, she has occasionally interacted with the Urahara Shōten and occasionally works part-time with Shihōin Yoruichi’s PHANTOM detective agency.

[aizensamasuggestions]

The more I learn about SS, the more disgusted I am. There’s so much that just get ignored! Like the Quincy genocide & letting Mayuri experiment, Killing Sojiro Kusaka for having the same Zanpakuto as someone else, Asauchi is made from merging lots of Shinigami souls, spying on & potentially killing substitute Shinigami who aren’t “beneficial”. There’s probably more that I can’t recall. I don’t like the way you keep trying to kill people, but at least you admit to the horrible things you do

A backhanded compliment, Anonymous, but I will accept it nonetheless.

And, I was unaware that @jushirosuggestions‘s… interactions with the Human World were common knowledge. 

Ah yes… all that ugly business with Ginjō Kūgo is rather surprising, isn’t it, given the ever-so cultivated, kindly demeanor that Captain Ukitake likes to project. Yet, here it is revealed that he encouraged and employed a man who may have murdered multiple shinigami in order to steal their power…. why, that’s almost villainous, isn’t it? Oh, forgive me. Our frail, sick Captain Ukitake is beyond reproach. He’s such a nice, old, harmless man.

People thought of me as kindly once, too.

It’s almost as if I might not be the only wolf in sheep’s clothing.

I’m just the only one who stopped pretending not to have fangs.
