So I was thinking the other day about the different divisions and there purposes some known; most not. A few thoughts came to mind about the ones we don't know, although I don't have theories for all of them. tell me what you guys think, fill in blanks or just give your general feedback. This list consist of current and former captains.
Ok so
Division 1- genryuusai yamamoto (former)
Shunsui Kyoraku (current)
Purpose: commanding office, delegation. Typically headed by the most powerful Shinigami.
Division 2- Sui-Fon
Purpose: stealth squad. Typically head by the Shihōin Clan until Yoriochi disgraced them by defecting. Their purpose is to get in and out without commotion.
Division 3- Gin Ichimaru (former) vacant (currently)
Purpose: ok now this is one that hasn't been explained but my guess is this is the Black Ops unit. A Black Ops unit is often known for infiltrating an emeny organization by any means necessary. In Gin's case, this meant going undercover and acting as his subordinate and student. While this is explained to be based on personal motives, it could easily be back tracked as Yamamoto bring suspicious of Aizen and approaching Gin early on and convincing him to be a double agent.
Division 4- Retsu Unohana
Purpose: medical unit. First responders for injured SHinigami. Pretty basic stuff here no need to elaborate.
Division 5- Sosuke Aizen (former) Shinji Hirako (current)
Purpose: tactical unit. When the gotei 13 doesn't want to make a mess of things by deploying the 11th division but need many enemies killed they send in the 5th division. Aizen and Shinji both show to have illusionary zanpakuto that dont cause mass destruction, they do however render the enemy almost immobile while they are completely mobile. So they can kill each enemy in one slash since they're left defenseless.
Division 6- Genrai Kuchiki (former) Byakuya Kuchiki (current)
Purpose: record keepers. Since the only captains of this division were aware of are Kuchiki heads it's safe to say it operates like the 2nd division, where a great noble clan is always head. As such the Kuchiki clan is noted to maintain the history of the Seireitei. I'm guessing the captains Job is to maintain the history of the gotei 13 specifically.
Division 7- Love Akaiwa (former) Sajin Komamaro (current)
Purpose: really got nothing for this one so please feel free to enter your thoughts.
Division 8- Shunsui Kyoraku (former) Currently vacant
Purpose: Recon unit. This is based off of nothing lol but the idea came to mind so I ran with it. This units job would be to gather information on enemies and keep head quarters updated. This unit would employ men who will work closely with the 2nd and 3rd division. For instance, since Gin couldn't report directly to Yamamoto he could report to a man from this unit as a middle man.
Division 9- Kaname Tosen (former) Kensei Muguramu (current)
Purpose: internal affairs. I base this off of Kanames large sense of justice. In the military and police these are the men that make sure everyone is following the rules and not abusing their power and authority.
Division 10- Isshin Shiba (former) Toshiro Hitsyugaya (current)
Purpose: finance. I say this because Toshiro seems to do alotttt of paperwork compared to other captains. A lot of times it's been said that they're "reports" but not always specified as to what reports. It surely could be reports on incidents in the seireitei but the gotei does need someone to do their finance and Toshiro is said to be a genius a lot. Likewise, Isshin is a doctor which means he's also quite intelligent regardless of his demeanor. And you might say he's a doctor because that's the only class he paid attention to but come on Idc who you are, no matter how much time you invest you need to have some natural brilliance to be a doctor.
Division 11- Kenpachi Zaraki
Purpose: commonly known as the warring division. This the gotei 13 first line of defense and offense in times of war. Basically the Marines!
Division 12- Kisuke Urahara (former) Mayuri Kurotsuchi (current)
Purpose: research and development. We've all seen what these men do. They're game changers in technological advances.
Division 13- Jushiro Ukitake (current)
Purpose: military organzation. I base this on the fact that 13th division is in charge of Karakura Town more specifically over seeing Ichigo. Think of Yamamoto as the president aka commander in chief and ukitake as his most trusted general. Ukitake, while somewhat immobilized by his disease is still an amazing fighter and brilliant mind. So how do you put this to good use? Have his sit back and contribute by calling the shots. Yes, CC is still head honcho but consider my military analogy and you'll get the point.
Thanks for reading guys. I'm open to new ideas and constructive criticism.
