In the novel Can't Fear Your Own World (six months after Thousand Year Blood War) Charlotte is referred to with she/her pronouns. This implies that he fully transitioned while under Mayuri's care into a female. I wonder if she . . . you know . . . got the lady bits and all. It would certainly be within Mayuri's capabilities.

Yeah, Izuru perfectly embodies the third division's views on battle.

Yes, the weight doubles with every subsequent hit. After two hits the object is four times as heavy, after three hits it is eight, and so on.

Basically the weight of whatever he hits is 2^n times the original, where 'n' is the number of hits.

Izuru is the exact opposite of Ikkaku. Doesn't take pleasure in battle and prioritises his bloody job first & foremost.

Aizen: Just NOPES Izurus shikai if ever struck with it.

^ Not even joking. I bet he could.

Hisagi is humble. He really is among the three most powerful lieutenants right now, and the closest among them to being captain material (in terms of mindset, overall skill, probably also power).

He is also the most all-rounder i.e. versatile lieutenant, having achieved zankensoki, which in Gotei 13 language means that he has a high level balanced skillset and mastery in all four shinigami combat arts: zanjutsu (swordsmanship), hakuda (shinigami hand-to-hand combat style), shunpo (the shinigami flash step high speed movement technique), and kido (shinigami magic spells).

There are lieutenants who surpass Hisagi in any one of those four arts. But they fall short in the other arts, and can't match his overall combined skillset.

I believe that is a mistranslation. I think he says in the original Japanese that it looks like something that is meant to mercilessly slaughter, which he does not like. This is because, deep down, Hisagi is a pacifist like Ukitake.

Funnily enough, both of the pacifists are actually among the most powerful of their respective ranks.

 

221 was great. Yamamoto is pretty serious about this threat. Can Mommy Rangiku take on the 3 baddies? Lmao at all of them bickering with each other Soifon's fight is basically over.
