@kenseimuguruma​ said: Vienna? Hisagi got lost in the human world again, can you send Daiki to go pick him up?

❝ Hisagi is a grown man. … I’m not risking our son’s life to find him, he can find his own way back. What if someone kidnaps Daiki? Have you seen how cute he looks today – he’s wearing the new bandana I got him, it really is cute right? ❞

[kenseimuguruma]

"Yeah, but, he's an idiot, so..." Kensei leaned against her office door, his free shoulder making a vague shrug as he looked down to their son - and faithful dog. Sure enough, there was a slick wrap of material around his neck; and a look of pride in his eyes as he soaked up ever ounce of praise his mother spilled over him. 

"No one would kidnap him - he's too annoying." To anyone else he would be a nightmare, far too well trained and familiar to the Mugurma household, he wouldn't let himself be kidnapped. Or separated from Vienna at the very least. 

 "Plus, I'd love to see the look on Hisagi's face when he sees Daiki instead of one of the seats." Kensei's smirk grew at the thought to the point where he knew it would make his day. 

"Either that or we can all go, knock off early and go for dinner in the land of the living for a change?" 

 As Daiki shuffled to Kensei's feet, licking his nose, Kensei rolled his eyes and ran a hand between Daiki's interested ears. 

"Daiki too."

9th Division Pages from Bleach 13 BLADEs (And my quick translation of parts!)

Kensei Muguruma

‘His disposition is rowdy and he has the ability to find squabbles’

(気質 - This section describes Kensei’s personality, etc.) (躍動 -This section describes Kensei’s strength, abilities, etc.)

横顔

Mashiro: Hm, Kensei yeah, I don’t know why but he gets super mad really really fast! ‘……You better shut up!’ That was my Kensei impersonation!

Hiyori: That Kensei!! He’s a guy whose brains rattle around in his head! But seeing the ‘straight man – funny man’ routine he does with Mashiro is too funny!!

Shuuhei: I owe my life to Captain Muguruma for rescuing me. So even now when I see ‘69’, I remember that time and feel thankful.

Rose: I think Kensei is a quite a good leader to his subordinates. However I think his wild and free-spirited ‘Super Vice-Captain’ irritates him quite a lot?

Shuuhei Hisagi

‘What he learned from his Captain he keeps hidden in his heart, the hard-working man with the numbers 69 tattooed on his cheek’

横顔

Kensei: I saved Shuuhei?! Is that so…Oh he was that kid back then! Well, we’re both alive and happy, yeah! Smile!

Izuru: Hisagi-san saved my life; therefore even though we’re both vice-captains I don’t believe we’re equal. How he unifies the 9th Division is praiseworthy.

Mashiro Kuna ‘She can stay in Hollow-form for 15 hours, the 9th Division’s Super Vice-Captain’

Kaname Tousen

‘He pursues absolute justice, the blind swordsman with persistent loyalty’

横顔

Shuuhei: The important things that Captain taught me are countless. Captain Tousen will forever remain that ‘Captain Tousen’ inside me.

Komamura: I wish I could talk to him one more time. About the true meaning of justice… I might wonder if I did not learn anything from you……

1000 Year Blood War Arc

This page covers general info for Kensei and Shuuhei during the Blood War arc. That is, Shuuhei’s training with Mashiro, their subsequent battles with the Quincy and then Kensei’s ‘zombification’ and Mayuri gaining control of him.  

At the bottom of the page it reads, 変わらぬ人事. It essentially talks about a problem a character has faced in the arc, or something that has changed about them or what they’ve done. For Kensei, it was returning to the Gotei 13 be the Captain of the 9th Division once again. For Shuuhei, it notes that he’s now served under two Captains during his time as Vice-Captain, and that he has the trust of the squad members who rely on him.

Poll Results and Japanese Fan Comments-

Zanpakutou Poll Results:

5th- Kazeshini

A Japanese fan jokes/wonders whether the reason that Hisagi has no sleeves has something to do with his zapakutou catching and tearing them. Fans also want to see it’s bankai!

25th- Tachikaze

Fans like the army knife shape of Tachikaze in its unreleased state. They thought it matched Kensei’s personality.

26th- Suzumushi

Since Suzumushi’s bankai was one of the first shown, fans thought it was really impressive. They thought its powers were very strong and that its abilities were aptly named.

Battle Poll Results:

11th- Shuuhei v Tousen

Fans like this fight because it was quite moving and sad as it was a fight between people who were once friends. They thought the lines in the fight between Tousen and Komamura were really thematic and the scenes really conveyed strong emotion between all the characters. They also thought Shuuhei’s shikai scene was impressive.

12th- Shuuhei v Findor

This was the first fight where Kazeshini’s shikai was first seen! Fans also liked Findor and thought it was a cool fight!

45th- Mashiro and Kensei v (Pre-)Visored

Fans liked seeing the hollow forms of the characters start forming and impressed with their strength.

47th- Kensei v Mask

Fans thought that it was cool that Kensei came in and helped out Shuuhei.

47th- Kensei v Hollow

Same as above, fans also liked this because Kensei came and save little Shuuhei!

Popularity Poll Results:

7th- Shuuhei Hisagi

Kubo notes that Hisagi’s quite a loved character! But he then says that he’s definitely a character that he likes to bully, but he finds him a bit boring to draw (Kubo then laughs).

A fan says that Shuuhei really looks like a school punk due to his appearance! Fans also say he’s that great character, but really has bad luck in the manga.  

26th- Kensei Muguruma

Fans like that Kensei is manly and buff, and that his attitude is really neat! They also like the number combination of his name and division and hope that he’s revived quickly!

35th- Kaname Tousen

Fans think that Tousen has had some really great fight scenes and has an interesting zanpakutou. Also they think that his actions and motivations are complex, and that his back story is quite meaningful. Fans also like him because of his stoic and cool nature.

[kenseimuguruma]

ok, you you saved my hopes, thanks, I also do not like the way the kensei treated Hisagi, and the problem is that kubo he makes Vaizards be useless, if kensei and rose

Yeah I'm trying to convince myself to believe it too tbh.

The way Kensei treats Shuu is horrible. If Kubo honestly believes that thats the way Kensei would treat the kid he pulled up out the dirt all those years ago then he hasn't been reading his own damn story. Ken and Shuu, as I see it would be one of the most cohesive captain / lieutenant duo's in the soul society. They'd get on like a fucking house on fire. shuu looks up to Kensei so much that I can't see how Kensei wouldn't realise that and be more of a role model for him. Like, of course Kensei would still do his job, but Shuu would be a part of that. I think Kensei would clap him on the back and say 'good job, kid' at the end of a really hard mission or training session or whatever. He'd give Shuu praise, he wouldn't set Mashiro on him to beat the Bankai out him. He wouldn't set Mashiro on him at all considering Mashiro, to Ken, is literally the most annoying thing on earth. He might leave Shuu to //babysit// Mashiro when Ken can't take any more of her, but he wouldn't ever set her on him - and I don't think Mashiro would even fucking attack Shuu. he might have her position but she wouldn't want to beat him up to the point where he's crippled on the ground

urgh

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh 

I don't know what Kubo is playing at but jesus he's not doing it right. 

But you're right, if Kubo kills of Ken and Rose then what's been the point in the vizard arc and bringing all these characters into it? They're supposed to be stronger than regular captains due to the hollowfication thing - or maybe not 'stronger' but at least more power-diverse and just more sharp. But if Kubo kills them off then what's the fucking point in that shit??? 

uuuuuurghrghrguhrguhrgh 

it's soooooooooooooooooo stupid and, imo, wrong. 

[kenseimuguruma]

please, answer my question, kensei dies ?

In the manga?

I’m not gonna lie to you bud, I haven’t been reading it after I found out that Kensei, according to Kubo, would treat Hisagi so badly. I disagreed that Kensei would do that so I stopped reading and only get updates from my friends now. 

However, it has been said in the manga that yes, Kensei is a “zombie”. But it was also said that the heart still had to be beating for the zombie .. stuff to be passed and circulated around the body. And then Mayuri changed what was inside their blood so he would control them rather than Giselle - so, clearly, whatever is in their blood can change. 

Point is, the manga says theyre dead but we all know what happened when we thought Byakuya was dead - he came mysteriously back to life like 30 chapters later because Kubo won’t kill off his star players. And know who else are his star players?

Toshiro and Rangiku. 

I mean as much as I love Kensei, he is not one of Kubo’s number one characters in the popularity contest (more for me, lets face it) but he would not kill off Tosh and Ran and by that logic, I’m hoping Kensei - And Rose - are safe.

If not and by a totally unexpected twist he kills them, then bury me in one of the Muguruma's Commando Unit jackets pls.

[kenseimuguruma]

They all lead up to a sake bottle sitting dead center on his desk, with a small note attached to it with 'Kensei' written on top, it reading, "Here's a gift to make it up to you. I'm still not sorry, and I'm still not paying for damages. Drink this and forget about all the fun I had. Forgive me already, nee? -Mashiro"

What a damn waste of important time that was, it was only a good job that he had sent Hisagi to follow the train of sugar rather than himself so Kensei could get on with real work. And yet, by the time Kensei had left his office to deliver reports to other divisions and come back, there was the end of the 'sugar trail' sitting on his desk. A brow peaked as his eyes settled on the prize; a bottle of sake. And yet, he knew Mashiro too well. This was far too suspicious a gift.. there was definitely something in it. His overthinking on the bottle started to annoy him just as much as Mashiro had with setting this ridiculous goose chase up in the first place. So he moved the bottle off his desk and into a drawer and when Hisagi returned, slightly out of breath after running the last part (worried that he would be reprimanded for taking so long to follow Mashiro's trail), and questioned why the trail led to his desk but to find nothing, Kensei suggested that perhaps Mashiro had planned on sitting her to ambush them but got bored and pissed off. "Oh and, for following that trail, kid, there's a bottle of sake." Handing it over his desk to Hisagi, Kensei displayed no hints that he was so suspect of the bottle but he supposed that Shuuhei drank that much that if there was something in the bottle, he probably wouldn't even notice. "Oh and, get rid of all this damn candy, will ya?"
