Yumichika Ayasegawa

Lore & Background

His seat does not match his strength: he took fifth because Ikkaku held third and he finds five a prettier number than four. He wears coloured feathers at his eyelashes and eyebrow and judges everything by beauty, trying to forget things he finds ugly and even fighting an ugly opponent with his eyes shut.

Squad Eleven has an unwritten rule that only direct sword attacks count, so Yumichika would rather risk death than reveal that his zanpakutō is a kidō type. He uses its true form against the Arrancar Charlotte Cuhlhourne once he is sure nobody will see.

Ruri'iro Kujaku

In front of others he releases it as Fuji Kujaku with "bloom", a sickle blade that splits into four. Its true release, "tear in frenzy", turns the blades into vines that bind the opponent and drain their spiritual energy into flowers; eating the petals heals him, and a full drain can kill.
