Sixth Division
CharacterThe Sixth Division is one of the thirteen companies of the Gotei 13, led by the noble Captain Byakuya Kuchiki with Renji Abarai as his lieutenant. Regarded across the Seireitei as a model unit, it is defined by rigid discipline and an unbending respect for the rules.
Overview
Among the companies of the Gotei 13, the Sixth answers to Captain Byakuya Kuchiki and his lieutenant Renji Abarai. Its emblem is the camellia, a flower standing for noble reason, and its signifying color is cobalt blue. Beyond the standard black uniform, the division's elite members are set apart by a short, sleeveless white haori trimmed in purple and fastened at the front with a red cord.
Role
The Sixth is held up as the exemplary company of the Gotei 13, celebrated for its unwavering obedience to regulation. Captain Kuchiki tolerates no lawbreakers and hands down strict punishment to anyone caught crossing the line, and the Shinigami Women's Association judges the unit best suited to those with a firm belief in order and purpose. Its barracks hold the usual offices and living quarters alongside a detention ward, a single furnished cell where prisoners from any division are kept until they can be moved to a more secure facility such as Senzaikyū.
