Giriko Kutsuzawa

Middle-aged and tall, Giriko wears a thick mustache beneath brown eyes, his dark hair kept short. His outfit reads as a bartender's: a shirt, a dark waistcoat, and a bow tie. A strip of dark, leather-like material hides his right eye, while one hand grips a slim, cane-like object.

Blunt in conversation and outwardly composed, Giriko absorbs Riruka's tantrums without a flicker and follows Kūgo Ginjō only because, by his own account, he was charmed into it. That placid front hides a boastful, arrogant streak that surfaces once he takes on a share of Ichigo's Fullbring. He can be genuinely cruel too, having murdered his own wife merely to test his power, and he clings to the antique watch that is both his heirloom and the wellspring of that power.

The Kutsuzawa family called the pocket watch their "Good Luck Watch," passing it down the generations until it reached Giriko after his father's death from illness; to him, no god existed but that watch. Two decades on, he grasped that its true gift was the power to kill without a touch, and he tried it out by staring his wife to death. Regret struck as she died, and breaking that half-formed pact cost him his eye, teaching him he had sealed a contract with a god rather than said a prayer. In time he fell in with Shūkurō Tsukishima and Kūgo Ginjō and joined the newly formed Xcution.

Time Tells No Lies, his Fullbring, channels the gold watch to fasten "timers" onto targets, each bound by terms Giriko dictates; violate the conditions and the offender, along with the surrounding space, is consumed by the flames of time. Not even he can call it off once it is set. During Xcution's plot to strip Ichigo of his Fullbring, Giriko receives a portion of that power and swells into a massive, muscle-bound shape, claiming that the simpler his contract grows, the greater his strength. Kenpachi Zaraki cuts the boast short, slicing him in half. Slain, he is buried by Jackie, then resurfaces in the Rukongai, where Kūkaku Shiba takes him in and Ganju trains him for the war against the Wandenreich.
