I'd like to think that Hitsugaya is actually a good detective, based on his actions during the Soul Society arc, but Byakuya as his co-detective is simultaneously incredibly smart but Thinks Like A Detective Novel moreso than he is actually good at being a detective, and Hitsugaya just has to manage his eccentricities the entire time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is totally The Vision!
Bleach filler episodes always need a straight man, and usually it's Ichigo, but this time it's gonna be Hitsugaya. He's gonna be like, "There are still traces of reiatsu...we need to follow them before they fade," and Byakuya is going to be like "Yes, but first we need to put on capes." I want this episode to be so, so, so weird, like, it keeps changing genres. In one scene it'll be in black and white and Byakuya is dressed like Sherlock Holmes and Hitsugaya is wearing a bowler, and in the next they're doing Death Note. Byakuya and Renji act out a scene from Kurosawa's Stray Dog while Hitsugaya keeps looking at his watch and going "Is this...necessary? Is this helping??" Byakuya gets Rukia to hack the senkaimon records on her phone and Hitsugaya is like "we are captains? Akon will just give us this information??" There's a scene in a jazz club and it turns out it's only there because Shinji wanted to be in this episode. I cannot emphasize enough that the "mystery" in this case is going to be something along the lines of Kyouraku tells them an item of great importance has gone missing, but then at the end it turns out to be a pen he got from the Living World in 1973 that's got a picture of a girl in it and when you turn it upside down, her clothes fall off. (Nanao threw it in the trash)
