‘With a gentle personality, the compassionate man of character’
(気質 - This section describes Ukitake’s personality, etc.)
(躍動 -This section describes Ukitake’s strength, abilities, etc.)
Kyouraku: Ukitake? We’ve been together for so long, saying something particular would be rather embarrassing. Well, please tell him to take care of himself and his health!
Rukia: He is such a wonderful person. He always kept an eye out for me… If not for Captain Ukitake, I might not have become the person I am now.
Byakuya: I must thank Ukitake, since Rukia is the way she is now thanks to his guidance. Please tell him to take care of Rukia.
Kiyone: My Captain? By the way…did you also ask Kotsubaki? You didn’t ask him? I love… I mean, r-respect Captain Ukitake more than anyone!!!
‘An old-worldly atmosphere surrounds her, the wielder of Soul Society’s most beautiful zanpakutou’

Renji: We’re both Vice-Captains now. Well, I got promoted first! Even though we’re in different divisions, let’s both work hard!
Ukitake: You’ve worked hard getting to this point, Kuchiki. While my physical condition is poor, you are a huge help to me. Keep on doing your best!
Sentarou: Vice-captain… Kuchiki? It’s certainly something her being an arrested criminal to becoming a Vice-Captain. Well, yeah! Let’s both support Captain Ukitake!
Byakuya: Rukia, yes? Since Ukitake is rather ill, she probably has to support him in many things. True to the Kuchiki family name, she undauntedly pursues her goals.
Sentaro Kotsubaki ‘He supports Captain Ukitake with all his might, the 13th Divison’s 3rd Seat’
Kiyone Kotetsu ‘She won’t lose to Sentaro, the 3rd Seat who dotes on Captain Ukitake’
Zennosuke Kurumadani ‘The shinigami previously entrusted with the care of Karakura Town’
Hidetomo Kajomaru ‘The shinigami who is Ryunosuke’s senior’
Ryunosuke Yuki ‘He assumed Kurumadani’s previous position, the timid shinigami’
Shino ‘A duo with Ryunosuke, the shinigami with a big sister disposition’
‘He holds pride in his heart, the Vice-Captain whose life ended’
Ukitake: Having lost such a important subordinate is a great pity, but our Division has many unforgettable memories of spending time with Kaien.
Rukia: He was a wonderful superior who treated me like any other Division member, just like I wanted. Even now, I am still grateful to Kaien-dono.
