Complete Gotei 13 list

[Kinny Riddle]

Here's the complete reference list for those that tend to forget the names of the Gotei 13, as well as some of the ex-shinigamis, like Urahara and Yoruichi, for the Soul Society arc. If the mods like this, please get it stickied. I'll try and find the illustration as well.

Spoiler for up to ep60-62:

This means the three traitors Aizen, Ichimaru and Tousen are counted here as well. I've also put in Shiba Kaien for completeness sake.

The third ED for the anime, Houki Boshi, is special, in that for 13 consecutive episodes, each squad gets featured in the ED animation. The brackets in the back of each squad name shows which ED they are featured in in the anime for easy reference.

Also for reference is the episodes in which each person's portrait is introduced by Kon from episode 14 onwards, all the way up to episode 50.

Division 2 二番隊 (Episode 31 ED)

Captain 隊長
Soi Fong 砕蜂 (Kon Intro, Episode 21)

Ep 21 calls her Sui Fong(Lunar Translation). Dattebayo translation later on calls her Soi Fon. The voice actors definately say Soi Fon if you listen to them.

[NoSanninWa]

This is up for some debate because the kanji that spell her name are read as "Soi Fong" if you use the Chinese reading. For a long time it was believed that the Chinese reading is correct. It is only recently that her name was spoken in the anime, so people are still getting used the idea that the original reading of her name might be wrong.

[rtwesen]

just a minor note:

it's Kusajishi Yachiru, according to the kanji you had.

[Kinny Riddle]

For Soi Fong, I sticked with the hiragana that Kubotite originally intended, instead of the strictly pinyin spelling of Sui Feng. For Chinese and Korean-sounding names that ends with a "g", the "g" sound is usually silent for Japanese transliteration. Hence Chang becomes "Cha-n", etc.

Thanks to rtwesen for pointing out the error, it is now amended.

BTW, I would appreciate if someone could provide an illustrated list to compliment this list. I'm sorta bogged down by work atm. I promise cookies to whoever provides them first.

PPS Please mods, can this thread be considered for a sticky?

[Grees]

Illustrated Byakuya
Tell me if you want the others too.

[1.0.7.]

hehe..how cute.. how's about a komamura sajin?

[Grees]

Illustrated Komamura . Check out his feeearsome eyes, brrr...*shivers*

[Kinny Riddle]

Ahaha...perhaps I worded it wrongly. Illustration isn't the right word. x__x

I was thinking more on screencaps from the manga and anime.

Still, a cookie for Grees for his effort.
Edit: Damn, it seems I can't spread any more cookies for now, remind me that I owe you a cookie.

[Chimie]

Fourth Seat 第四席
一貫坂 次郎坊 (Kon Intro, Episode 32)

There was no romaji translation

I think its Ikkanzaka Jiroubou

Kira Itzuru 吉良 イヅル (Kon Intro, Episode 26)

The katakana spells Izuru, I belive.

つ is Tsu
づ is Zu

So I imagine the Katakana counterpart follows the same patern.

I also thought Kira was his first name..

It's just not important enough. Sorry. There are a lot of thread, but we'd rather not have a lot of stickies.

[Rhys]

Some mistakes I noticed:
2nd division Vice should be Oomaeda Marechiyo, not Kichio.
11th division 3rd seat should be Madarame, not Mandarame.

[Altharion]

3rd division VC Kira Izuru not Itzuru.

you should add their zanpaktou's in the list.

you want anime screenscaps or manga pictures?

if you need any help just ask

or maybe copy it as a post in one of the sticky threads?
is jidanbou part of the gotei 13?

[Kinny Riddle]

I don't mind the entire thread being merged with one of the stickies. Otherwise, I'll just bump this once every 2 months. Barring another hack. lol (I have a backup anyway. )

Jidanbou is one of the four gatekeepers of Seireitei, which doesn't seem to be counted amognst the Gotei 13.

Further errors amended.

I was thinking of going on to add Zanpakutous, but there's too little information and is not complete, but any help is appreciated, especially with screenshots.

[soulfly]

If I am not mistaken, Kaien's wife was also a 3rd ranked officer in Division 13... I believe it was mentioned somewhere in the episode. At that time, Kiyone and Sentarou was probably 4th ranked.

Check out anime episode 49, at minute 7:20-7:27.

[thermal]

I was just wondering.... is there a specific purpose or job for each each squad? I know that they have a medical squad.

We know the purpose of some squads

2nd--> assasin squad
4th--> medical
12th--> resarch
11th--> combat

6th---> having a kakkoi Captain and Vc XD

[lemondude]

I'm not sure if it would be considered a spoiler given what the answer is...but I'll put it in a spoiler tag nonetheless.

Spoiler for manga:

Up to chapter 210, which is the latest Bleach chapter, we still have no word on who the new Captains are/will be. The only mention of the filling of any spots are that currently a lot of resources are being pooled to the restoration of Central 46.
