With Aizen still having yet to make a move, you have some time before the next major event demands your full attention. What do you spend the intervening years focusing on?

Pick one, and only one, per vote. Your progress on each will be proportional to the number of votes it receives.

Then I guess discussions can proceed now? Oh goodie!
I would've attached it with my vote, but you know. Samefag accusations gonna get rampant.

Anyway, is the Old Man gonna start pushing the issue on command segregation by this point in time? If he does, it might be good for Yoruichi to cover her bases on the Onmitsukido by roping in one of the Omaeda's for that task to tilt this decree at least in our favor.

Two words: Soi Fon

>>40154480
I know.

And I don't rule that out, but every other IP is someone popping in.

But still, don't always just that it's samefagging.

If the IPs go from 30 to 45 or some shit, probably samefagging. But from 8 to 19 at the start of a thread, that's pretty normal.

Still never as bad as the DBZHQ 100+ votes on 54 IPs bullshit.

>>40154145
You've got a number of issues to deal with, so with careful prioritization you can devote some time to each of them. Your training with Yoruichi yields some results, as you can now maintain your Hollowfied state for thirty consecutive seconds under combat conditions. As for fighting without using your eyes? That's proving much more difficult and frustrating. It's a good thing you started off pretty good at sensing reiatsu, otherwise it might take you a century or more before it was useful in a fight.

The ongoing political battle over whether Shinigami should be allowed to use rifles or not has proven to be the biggest pain in your ass. A few of your fellow Captains and members of the Noble houses have come to your defense, however: Ginrei, Yoruichi, Kūkaku, and Isshin among them. Before too many years pass you've managed to arm your subordinates with 150 “zwilling” weapons: essentially two barrels on a break action, with a shotshell chamber resting beneath a rifle chamber. They're a slight step up from the awkward and slow single-action weapons, and the quality of their production is higher, but they'd still be considered horribly obsolete in the living world.

The Noble families, meanwhile, have proven to be great people to know. Though you always feel horribly out of place with the Kuchikis despite Ginrei's silent approval of you, the Shibas have decided you're “good people”, and you've gotten to know their family a bit better. You've even managed to pull what few strings you have to convince the Central 46 to allow Kaoru's family to assist in running her Corps, at least until her skills have improved to the point where she can take over in full.

Your own unit of Commandos has proven to be a mixed case. Rangiku's spiritual pressure is no less developed than Gin's, placing her firmly at the top f the range for a Lieutenant. She's yet to mention anything about Bankai though, so it seems unlikely she's nearing promotion. Kai seems to love it in the Ninth Division, claiming that it suits him far better than Eleventh ever did. Under his guidance the publishing house has been put right back on track, which is something you'd have struggled with on your own. Iba's skills have grown as well, pushing quickly towards Lieutenant-level. Of your number he's likely to be the first to be picked up by a new Captain.

The problem children are Ichinose and Mirai. Mirai has been lagging behind the rest, and seems uncomfortable in her role as Sixth Seat. She's picked up on the flash step to a degree, but she could use some guidance. Ichinose himself has grown more powerful, but is also spending a lot more time around Tōsen. You think it has to do with their shared sense of “justice”.

At one point, you're forced to call Ichinose into your office, and the young man arrives with a confused look on his face. His uniform has changed over the years, and he's grown a bit leaner as well.

“Captain?” he asks nervously. “Is something the matter?”

You nod thoughtfully. “Have a seat, Fifth-Seat.”

As he does so obediently, you spring the question that's been on your mind for a while now. You look up from your paperwork to eye him carefully. “Tell me, Ichinose. What is justice?”

“Well, Captain Tōsen says true justice is the path with the least bloodshed,” he tells you, clearly thinking it over as he speaks.

“And do you believe that?”

He shrugs. “It sounds convincing.”

“It sounds like bullshit,” you counter. “You can do great evil without shedding any blood, and sometimes the right thing requires some sacrifice. To say that any one phrase describes 'true' justice is to ignore our responsibility to discern the right course of action for ourselves, based on our own observations.”

“I know you're still angry about what happened to the last Kenpachi,” you conclude, “but never forget that 'justice' and 'revenge' are two completely different things. Let the desire for revenge control you, and you'll become my enemy.”

Ichinose avoids your eyes as you sit back in your chair. “I understand, ma'am. Sorry if I concerned you at all.”

“It's no bother,” you wave your hand. “But still, consider it carefully for yourself. Please fetch Mirai now that we're done, and send her to the training grounds. You're dismissed for the day.”

Ichinose Maki bows respectfully before leaving the room.

You find Mirai waiting for you, the poor girl looking as exhausted as ever.

“You asked for me, Captain?” she asks quietly, noting that you've taken off your Captain's jacket and understanding what that means.

With a smile, you explain the situation to her. “I've been neglecting your training recently. I'm sorry about that, but I think I've got a way to help you grow to fit the position. You interested?”

After a few moments, Mirai nods in agreement. “I am.”

“Good,” you tell her. “So, I was thinking...”

I bet she is one of the shinigami that was drained when Aizen was putting together his plot rock.

>>40155084
“Even though she scares the shit out of me,” you mutter, “this seems like something Unohana should look at.”

Mirai shivers. “You mean the Captain of Fourth Division? Is that going to be okay?”

You shrug. “Maybe? But we have to go... it seems like your condition isn't normal.”

Fourth Division Headquarters is a place you've never liked. Too many sick and injured people, and somehow it reminds you too much of the past. The Division members clear a path for you and Mirai as you make your way to Unohana's office.

“Captain,” she greets you in that familiar tone of mock politeness. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

With a gesture of your arm, you force Mirai to the front. “I'm worried about my Sixth Seat's health... something feels wrong about her condition. She's been frail ever since the Academy, and her reiatsu feels like it's unstable somehow.”

“Unstable?”

Mirai frowns, glancing downwards. “It feels as if I cannot build spiritual pressure the same way my peers can. Whenever I try, it dissipates before I can complete the technique I'm trying.”

“Dissipates, you say?” Very suddenly, it seems like Unohana's seeping hatred for you has been replaced by genuine curiosity. “Very well, I shall see what I can do.”

>>40155332
It takes nearly half an hour of poking and prodding, particularly focusing on Mirai's wrists for some reason. But finally, Unohana seems to come to a tentative conclusion. She asks you to leave the room while she delivers her diagnosis, for “privacy reasons”. Since it's her hospital, and her rules, you comply.

When Mirai reappears, the look on her face shows obvious concern. “She said... that the reiatsu vent on my right wrist has been ruptured and healed poorly. She says she can't heal it, because the original trauma has already mended itself.”

“What the hell could do something like that?” you frown. “Did she say anything else, Mirai?”

“She believes the damage occurred from the inside. As if a large mass of reiatsu had been pulled from my body through my wrists.”

As a note, I don't see any reason Riku would trust Mayuri with anything. He's displayed shoddy workmanship, and shifty morals. With someone like Aizen running around in Soul Society picking up misfits, what reason do we have to believe he isn't compromised?

On the one hand Mayuri is /Very/ good at work on the human body, on the other I would really like to get some scenes with Urahara.

I'm honestly not sure who to pick here...

>>40155478
You consider the issue for a moment... and there's only one conclusion to reach. “I do know someone who may be able to help,” you tell Mirai.

“Really?” she asks nervously. “You don't mean Kurotsuchi, do you?”

“Not at all,” you shake your head. “I'll explain later.”

After bringing Mirai to your office, you carefully mask your spiritual pressure as well as her own. “So I'm going to take you to see a friend of mine, who's been in exile since I made Captain.”

“Wait... you mean Urahara Kisuke?”

You nod. “Don't worry, he's not as bad as you may have heard. More a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and if you want this fixed there's nobody better.”

“I suppose...”

“Here's the thing,” you continue. “You can't mention this to anyone.”

“I understand.”

“No, really. We could be executed.”

It's a simple matter of opening a Garganta to the Karakura area of Japan. Mirai looks at you curiously, understanding what the technique is but not understanding how you can do it. She doesn't ask at all, and you're in no mood to offer an explanation.

Urahara's opened a small shop here, which you take Mirai to. “A candy shop?” she muses. “Are you sure this is the right place?”

Why? Better to get this in and done with.

Why is this thread already archived and why does it claim to involve conversations with Coyote?

So it's either someone else making assumptions or we're being railroaded. Lovely.

>>40155731
You can feel Urahara inside the shop, despite his reiatsu-blocking gigai... this is the first time you've been here since Yoruichi found him. And since your spiritual presence is still masked, the time has come to have a little fun.

“Do you really think we should be letting ourselves in like this?” Mirai asks.

“Yes,” you reply. “I do.”

You slide the door open and allow yourself in, peering carefully around the hallway. “I wonder where his sake storeroom is?”

It takes you a moment to gather the required items and take a seat at the low table in Urahara's humble living room: a wooden matsu for serving sake, the sake itself, and all the other various serving vessels you need. You insist on pouring for yourself, though Mirai politely offers to do so. And from there, you wait.

“So I say to her, that's not my gigai, that's... Riku...” Urahara's voice falters as the door slides open. Tessai stares at him quietly before looking up and spotting you as well.

“Hey there, Kisuke,” you smile menacingly. “Have a seat.”

“You're drinking my sake,” Kisuke observes quietly as Tessai slowly walks backwards into the hallway.

You nod, repeating your previous words. “Have a seat.”

“I don't wanna.”

“I don't care. Have a seat.”

Kisuke gulps, understanding his situation. “I see... I'll just take a seat, then.”

You pour him a glass of his own sake, letting the liquid overflow into the box. “You're very hospitable when you're pouring my own drinks.”

“You never said goodbye,” you growl. “After all that. Drink.”

“Maybe I should...”

“Drink.”

“Yes, ma'am.”

For a few minutes you drink together in tense silence, and you far outpace him. The better part of a bottle disappears in minutes. “I see you've been promoted. Congrats.”

You nod thoughtfully. “Thanks. I see you opened a shop.”

“I sell candy now,” he explains. “It's not a bad life, and I have more time now to work on new inventions.”

You see... that does sound like something he'd enjoy. He's even abandoned his old uniform, instead having donned silly wooden clogs and an awful green and white striped hat. Benihime sits next to him, disguised as a shikomizue. “You've really taken to the new life, haventcha?”

He smiles, seeming to relax a moment. “I have. But I take it you're not here to chitchat?”

You reach across the table and crack the sake bottle across his head, causing Mirai to shift uncomfortably in her seat. “Don't be such a dumbass. The chitchat is half the reason I'm here... gimme some credit.”

“And the other half?” he asks politely, ignoring the fact that you've ruined his hat.

“Mirai,” you order calmly. “Hold out your wrist.”

Your subordinate does as you instruct, and Urahara takes a look. “My my, that's not supposed to look that way at all.”

“Can you fix it?” Mirai asks hesitantly.

“Absolutely not,” Urahara admits, much to your chagrin.

“Whaddya mean, no?”

Urahara sighs, settling down in his seat. “Well, what is it they say? The damage is done? However... that's not to say I can't think of a way to help.”

“Spill it,” you demand angrily. “When Miss Mirai's health is concerned, speak directly.”

“There was an old Quincy technique,” Kisuke tells you, “involving a specially designed glove. I may not be able to heal Miss Mirai's injury, but a modified Sanrei glove should allow her to restrict the outflow of reiatsu.”

A Sanrei glove, huh? You've heard a little about a technique like that, but from what you can tell it's obsolete. Can something like that be made to work?

>>Let Mirai speak for herself.

>>40157159
And how do you expect him to know?

>>40157186
No, but he might be able to shed some light on it.

>>40157199
Unohana could have told that. Or we could look it up.

>>40156962
“Any idea what caused it?” you ask sternly, to which Urahara shakes his head.

“It's how it looks: a mass of reiatsu was forcibly drawn through that vent. As for how or why, I can't say for sure... but then again, I think we both have our suspicions. And I can't say we're wrong.”

“I'll look into it.”

Mirai bows deeply. “Will this glove help me do the job Captain Kusajishi would have me do?”

Kisuke knocks back the last of the sake. “Well now, that all depends on you. But it'd give you the chance, yes.”

“Then I would be grateful if you would finish it as quickly as possible, Mister Urahara.”

The man chuckles. “Really, now. No need for such formalities. I'm no longer anyone important, after all... just a humble candy shop owner.”

You nod, rising to your feet to excuse yourself. “I'm sure our mutual friend has filled you in?”

“She has,” Kisuke nods. “Sounds like you've been enjoying your Captaincy?”

“It has its perks,” you admit. “Believe it or not... I'm glad you're okay, Kisuke.”

“Trust me,” he grins back. “So am I.”

“... your hat still looks stupid though.”

>>40157225
Unohana told us what she could because it's our subordinate not us.

We could have looked it up. We literally chose to speak to hat'n'clogs instead.

>>40157242
It'll be a moment before the next update, as I need to cover a fair expanse of time and introduce the next big problem.

>>40157242
yup. thats us alright.
>>40157260

>>40157275
Or the Russo-Japanese War.

>>40157275
Was that really a big problem for Japan specifically? I'm pretty sure it's the Russo-Japanese war.

Can we offer Kisuke a place in our Valley of Screams?

>>40157360

The year is 1916.

Time has flown by since the day you visited Urahara in the living world. The glove he designed for Mirai has worked, allowing the youngest member of your Commandos to control the bleed rate of reiatsu in her right wrist. She usually seems to keep the rate low, probably so that she can use it to give her a temporary boost in her combat abilities if the situation should require such measures. You've also seen a near immediate improvement in her shunpo and kidō, which you work on her to improve.

She remains somewhat withdrawn, though thankfully your training has helped her confidence significantly. Now it seems she's mostly just quiet.

Your own abilities improve a little as well from the constant reinforcement of the basics, which it helps to brush up on from time to time. But it's after just over twenty years that the most important meeting in the history of the Soul Society is called. Today, your Captains must decide whether to involve yourselves in a war halfway around the world.

“We received a request from the Valhallans this morning,” the Head Captain announces. “The war in Europe is causing more casualties than their own control methods can account for, and powerful Hollows have begun to appear on the battlefields that their massed fire techniques cannot adequately handle.”

“Sounds like a mess,” Kaoru comments, standing confidently at your left side. Her white coat bears a device similar to your own after she passed her own proficiency exams last year, except her own bears the circular marking of the Kidō Corps. “Who's the lucky Captain?”

“Captains,” you observe quietly. “If Yoruichi's reports are any indication, it's gonna take at least three of us, with two in reserve.”

Yoruichi nods thoughtfully. “Conditions have deteriorated through the winter. We'll need boots and winter clothing.”

“Whaddya mean “we”, Commander?” Kenpachi demands. “I'm getting' a piece of this action too, dammit!”

“Do you speak English?” Shunsui asks calmly. Silence tells him the answer. “German? French?”

Your hand has been raised the whole time. “I can. And you bet those ruddy British bastards won't speak a word of Japanese.”

“It has already been settled,” the Head Captain grumbles. “Captains Shihōin and Kusajshi will move their operations to the front lines in France, to support the Valhallans. Captain Kyōraku will handle the Black Sea region and the Caucasus. Eleventh, Tenth, and Fifth will remain on standby.”

“Rangiku, roll it out,” you instruct. Your daughter pops the end off a long scroll tube, spreading a map of the western front out on the floor. Battle lines crisscross the image, courtesy of the Patrol Corps' mapping efforts under Suì Fēng.

>>We'll make headquarters in what's left of Verdun. There have been Menos sightings there, and the Valhallans can't handle it

>>40157785
Agree to disagree.

>>40157785
Where did the Deutsch touch you anon? Do you fear strudels coming in der Nacht

>>40157695
>>We'll make headquarters in what's left of Verdun. There have been Menos sightings there, and the Valhallans can't handle it.
Go to where the strongest hollow are.

If you dont cockblock Kenny, he will end up impaling something to death with said item.

>>40157695
>Belgium. That way we can react up and down the front, or the North Sea if that's where we're needed.

This'll be another routine exercise. except it's going to be more than 47 gillies and 13 adjuchies

>inb4 a Vasto Lorde is watching and decides he wants to play soldier

>>40158032
If those adjuchas end up teaming up against us, or Vasto Lordes show up, we might be in trouble... I wonder what the dice gods will be having us encounter this time.

>>40158069
Vasto Lordes are rare. As in there are probably less then fifty of them rare.

>>40158069
It's also a good opportunity for Arrancar recruitment, but they'll have to pass the first impressions and personality test.

>>40158089
Around only 10 rare actually

>>40158107
Your talking about doing that in the middle of a battle field. Hell who knows what kind of tech the Vallahlians have.

>>40158107
If they're in the city, then they were drawn there by the feeding frenzy, so it's unlikely any of them are the sort who we would want to get to know.

>>40158065
turns out he's got a knack for it, so after the war he steals a German gigai and starts calling himself Heinrich Himmler

>>40158110
And we know 2, aren't we special

>>40158107
probably not, any Hollows drawn to the conflict are probably nuts

>>40158110
Less.

>>40158089
I know, but that doesn't mean they're above being attracted to hundreds of thousands of pluses showing up in a single location.
>>40158107
Ehh. I'd rather not power up something that showed up to eat people. But we'll see.

>>40158182
Thats in canon. I said around fifty because considering that there is apparently more than one after life there may be more then one HM equilviant.

>>40158110
In Japan OP has expanded the setting though

Real life happened, be back with an update in a sec.

They definitely will have guns. Riku did show some signs of being a gun nut from memories carried over in her past life.

>>40158182
Which nation did sad clown (Ulqi) come from?

if there's around 8-10 per afterlife, I'd guess there's about 100 total worldwid

>>40158208
Dunno, I figured that Heuco Mundo was a worldwide thing, but it's just SO FUCKING HUGE that everything is ridiculously sparse. Like, Las Noches is the capital of X region of Ghost Mexico, and we never saw anything other than X region because there was never any reason to go there and because it was so far away.

I hope Riku gets one of the first BARs produced
