The lieutenants of the Gotei 13


The lieutenants of the Gotei 13

Lieutenant

A lieutenant (副隊長, fukutaichō; vice-unit commander, often translated as vice-captain) is the 2nd seated officer in a division.[8]

Lieutenants function as executive officers for their division, taking care of or supervising day-to-day operations. They (along with their captains) are not assigned to one specific squad. They generally only know the Shikai of their Zanpakutō, but are still the second strongest in their division. In the case of a division captain's death, departure, or other circumstances making him unable to perform their duties, the lieutenant acts as the "substitute captain" until another can be assigned.

Seated Officers

Seated officers are the remainder of the officers in the Gotei 13 that hold ranks at or below 3rd Seat. Captains and lieutenants have the ranks of 1st and 2nd Seats, respectively. Next to that, there are 18 more seats (3rd-to-20th). These ranks are somewhat analogous to junior officers or non-commissioned officers in modern military. There seems to be a distinction between senior and junior seated officers, just like in real-life armies. In the Gotei 13, only one person can hold a senior officer rank (such as 3rd or 5th seat), but there are several holders of junior officer ranks (e.g. 20th seat). This may vary from division to division however, as there are two 3rd Seats in the 13th Division. Seated officers often lead subunits within each division (for example, Hanatarō Yamada is leader of 4th Division's 14th Advanced Relief Team).

Gate Guardians

The Gate Guardians are the guardians of the four gates of Seireitei. They are all giants who have the strength to lift the gates made of Sekkiseki.

Others

This is a list of unseated Shinigami and (if known) their respective divisions.

edit Division Speciality

It has been shown that the 13 divisions may each specialize in a certain area, but only a few division and their respective specialities have been made known.

Division Division Speciality
1st No special duties have been noted for the 1st Division, other than their captain being the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13.
2nd The 2nd Division is closely tied to the Onmitsukidō, with many members holding positions in both units. As a result, many members of the 2nd Division are skilled in the use of Hakuda, stealth and assassination.
3rd No special duties have been noted for the 3rd Division.
4th The 4th Division is the medical/supply division. They are responsible for both treating the injured and doing most manual labor such as cleaning Seireitei. Because of this, they have keys to most of the buildings and know the underground sewer system well. According to various members of the 11th Division, 4th Division members are rather weak at combat instead using their power to heal. The 4th Division is further divided into teams that have specific assigned jobs.
5th No special duties have been noted for the 5th Division.
6th No special duties have been noted for the 6th division.
7th No special duties have been noted for the 7th Division.
8th No special duties have been noted for the 8th Division.
9th The 9th Division is known to be in charge of the Seireitei Communication monthly magazine. All the lieutenants of the Divisions of Gotei 13 hand in their report to them.
10th No special duties have been noted for the 10th Division.
11th The Eleventh Division is the melee combat Division with a specialization in swords-only combat, forgoing the other Shinigami arts. It is mentioned that it is tradition for the current Kenpachi, the title held by the best swordsman in Soul Society, to hold the position of Eleventh Division Captain.[9] The current captain Kenpachi Zaraki is known for his thirst for fighting.
12th Other than the 12th Division's connection to the Shinigami Research and Development Institute, no special duties have been noted for the 12th Division. Members are tasked with research and collection of data and samples, and the captain is the President of the R&D Institute.
13th No special duties have been noted for the 13th Division.

edit Insignia

Each of the 13 divisions in Gotei 13 have their own symbol that represents the division's primary role, which all seem to be based on flowers. When a power limit is placed on a captain or lieutenant, their symbol appears on a certain part of their body until the limit is lifted. Each symbol also has a specific meaning.

The Gotei 13 Insignias.
Division Flower Meaning
1st Chrysanthemums Truth and Innocence
2nd Tulip Seek Nothing
3rd Marigold Despair
4th Bellflower Those Who Grieve Are Loved
5th Lily of the Valley Sacrifice, Danger, Pure Love, Humility, Sweetness
6th Camellia Noble Reason
7th Iris Courage
8th Bird of Paradise Everything is Obtained
9th Buttercup Oblivion
10th Daffodil Mystery, Egoism
11th Yarrow Fight
12th Thistle Vengeance, Strictness, Independence
13th Summer Snowflake Hope

edit Uniforms

Most Gotei 13 personnel wear the standard Shinigami uniform, called Shihakushō (死覇装; Garment of Dead Souls) - a white shitagi, a black kosode, a black hakama, a white hakama-himo, white tabi, and waraji. The black hakama also has its owner's division insignia emblazoned on the inside, though it does not appear to have any significant reasoning other than minor security authorization. Lieutenants sometimes also wear an armband which carries their division symbol and its number, usually on their left arm. They are required to do this when they are summoned to a meeting but apart from this it seems that it is rarely compulsory; at the time the series takes place, the use of the armbands was noted to have fallen out of fashion.[10]

Captains wear a white haori over the usual black Shinigami clothes, with the number of their division on the back, inside the Gotei 13 symbol (a rhombus). Some captains have long sleeves, while the others do not. It also seems that the color of the underside is division-, or at least captain-specific, as every captain has a different color of it.

Uniform Customization

Gotei 13 officers, particularly captains and lieutenants, often customize their personal appearance or that of their uniform. Some of these modifications include:

  • Captain Soifon of the 2nd Division wears a sleeveless and backless Shinigami outfit (when she is fighting) under her haori, which is standard issue for the head of the Onmitsukidō. She also wears a yellow sash a layer above, but slightly lower than her white one.
  • Captain Retsu Unohana of the 4th Division wears an obi sash rather than a standard one.
  • Captain Byakuya Kuchiki of the 6th Division wears an extremely expensive scarf named ginpaku kazahana no uzuginu and a white ceremonial hairpiece called kenseikan, symbolizing his noble lineage.
  • Captain Sajin Komamura of the 7th Division wears shoulder guards over his haori and large gloves which go up to his arms. He also wore a helmet to hide his appearance, but he later removed it.
  • Captain Shunsui Kyōraku of the 8th Division is probably the most flamboyantly dressed of the captains, always seen wearing a straw hat and a gaudily-colored kimono over his uniform.
  • Captain Kaname Tōsen formerly of the 9th Division wears an orange scarf with his outfit, a sleeveless kosode as well as white boots.
  • Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya of the 10th Division wears a green sash pinned with a star around his shoulder to hold his sword.
  • Captain Kenpachi Zaraki of the 11th Division wears a jagged edged haori, which was taken from the previous captain.
  • Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the 12th Division wears a bloated purple cravat and a hat decorated with two horizontal spikes, he later changes the hat.
  • Lieutenant Chōjirō Sasakibe of the 1st Division wears a jinbaori over his Shihakushō.
  • Lieutenant Shūhei Hisagi of the 9th Division wears a sleeveless kosode and black choker.
  • Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto of the 10th Division wears a top that is deliberately loose and hangs open to reveal her ample bosom. She also wears a pink scarf (or stole), and wears her lieutenant's badge around her waist with her sash, tied in a bow.
  • Lieutenant Nemu Kurotsuchi of the 12th Division has a very abbreviated outfit: the hakama is absent, leaving her with a mini-skirt version of the kosode that is belted at the waist.
  • All known members of the 9th Division, excluding Mashiro Kuna and Toshimori Umesada, wear kosode without sleeves, including the former captains.
