Bleach (manga) - 316: The Shinigami Captains One Century Ago

Breaking away from Bleach traditions, this chapter takes a flashback without being in the middle of a big fight. The flashback is on the day of inauguration of the new 12th Division Captain Kisuke Urahara one century ago. What is interesting is that only 5 of the 13 captains now were Captains back then, but what is surprising is that at least 3 of the 13 captains back then became Vizards today. What is even more surprising is that there is a little-known Division — the 0th Division — called the Royal Guards.
Listed below are the known Captains one century ago and today.
| Division | 1 Century Ago | Today |
|---|---|---|
| 0th | Hikifune | (Unknown) |
| 1st | Genryuusai Yamamoto | |
| 2nd | Shihouin Yoruichi | Soifon |
| 3rd | Rose (Vizard) | Gin Ichimaru (Defected) |
| 4th | Retsu Unohana | |
| 5th | Shinji Hirako (Vizard) | Sousuke Aizen (Defected) |
| 6th | (Unknown)1 | Byakuya Kuchiki |
| 7th | Love Aigawa (Vizard) | Sajin Komamura |
| 8th | Shunsui Kyouraku | |
| 9th | (Unknown)2 | Kaname Tousen (Defected) |
| 10th | (Recently Demised) | Toushirou Hitsugaya |
| 11th | Kenpachi Zaraki | |
| 12th | Kisuke Urahara | Mayuri Kurotsuchi |
| 13th | Juushirou Ukitake | |
What is the most surprising from this chapter, however, is that Aizen was just a lowly lieutenant subordinated to Hirako. I can’t even begin to comprehend what this might mean in regard to the level of reiatsu that Hirako possesses.
Damn! That’s inconceivable!
