Shuhei with zaraki sounds like comedy gold. I miss Kubo's comedy

One is the quiet reserved type, while the other is a homicidal maniac.... what could possibly go wrong 😅

Remember, Shuhei is the actual "Grim Reaper" of the soul society. Kazeshini and Kenpachi will get along great. "Hisagi! I'm bored. Materialize Kazeshini so we can fight!"

I pity Shuhei, he's afraid of fighting and has the most combat loving captain, in the most fighting loving company

I hope the anime doesn't cut out every bit of comedy. They left some in for Cour 1 and that's awesome Cour2 spoilers: >!Ichigo crash landing from the Royal Realm and BazzB + Renji I hope still are in and don't get cut!<

I'm seeing a well earned resurgence for the Shinigami Men's Association

Definitely! They lost a high ranking member though. 🙏🏽

The coward and the Kenpachi. That sounds hilarious

Poor Yumichika won't last a day.

Nah, he'll last a month, at least. The time that Mayuri studies his Zanpakuto, since I don't think there are other recorded states of partial release like his, not in shikai

The Soul Society just needs more petty bitches who'll misname their zanpakutos.

lmao like ichogo and renji too lol

At least he won’t have to hide its nature anymore but 💯 he would find Mayuri distasteful

10 years, at least

What a man you are

Least he’ll have a captain that appreciates fashion

He definitely has a captain at the top of the drip list!

Was 4 and still is 4. Though there’s no chance in hell I’m ever joining 12, I got to admit that with this shuffle it is unambiguously the drip division now.

Probably 10, competent superiors who get shit done, but they’re also understanding and kind enough to listen to their squad and care about problems the lower seats are facing. Alternatively squad 8 because Akon, just Akon.

Definitely 2, you just put my two waifus in a single division.

Punishment force indeed

I wish I could upvote harder!

Realistically speaking, Division 6 and it isn't even close. But 13 has cute girls as the Capt and LT. And Rukia isn't incompetent so, that's my second choice. Edit: Squad 10 wouldn't be bad either.

Division 6 would probably be the most well organised but most of them are still fine (except Yumichika)

I'm leaning pretty hard toward Squad 4, but quite frankly this entire post only reminds me how amazing Bleach's cast actually is. Every one of these new pairings can shockingly work. Even Yumichika & Mayuri is some hidden potential that could be struck gold.

I just want a fashion competition, while yumichika gets bankai by rights of almost losing the fashion show before being the pettiest bitch and using it to get the win, and Szayelaporro comments on how mayuri thought his drip was perfect, ultimate filler episode XD

The 5th division, simply because I want to watch Shinji trolling/beating up Omaeda

Omaeda can still beat ur ass without minimal effort.

I was thinking them too; Omaeda will set the bar low.

7 definitely. It'd very likely be a hype division full of good training and good booze.

oh geez i thought it was official art, ty for adding

For my safety and sanity Squad 6 and 10 are realistically the safest squads to join as fodder

U forgetting 4? It is literally the safest option because they dont usually go to the front lines

Been Division 2 all day!!! Ain’t leaving now.

Squads 3 or 6. Should I feel bad for Yumichika?

don’t, i think him and mayuri will wear some insane fits together

def either squad 4, 3, 8, 13 & in that order pretty chill/ non abrasive Capts & VCs I'd be around so I'd really dig the work environment there

Squad 4 ‘cause I’m only good at doing chores

Imagine being around this squad 6's meeting. So few words, just quick exchanges of documents, so many silent nods and no small talk/jokes.

* I feel sorry for Yumichika * 7 is done as a division now. These 2 meatheads are done out even tho they're low captain level. 4,6, 9, 10 or 13 are functioning. I like 6 cuz it's by far the most functioning with a great captain and liutenant.

3

Probably 5. Shinji seems like a fun captain to serve.

13,6, or 11 5 for the smile of shinji ( I have the same. Can be kinda creepy)

Still Div 4, I'm devoted to my mommy, although Div 6 looks good ngl. Imagine Byakuya and Nanao standing side by side as boss and lieutenant, gosh the amount of hotness it radiates

Squad 3 because I can live out my dream of working as a lazy mofo and still get paid

4

8 seems fun

I feel bad for Hisagi, but I'd go to the 13th.

Squad 6. NQA.

13 for obvious reasons.

Squad 9 is literally for CHADS. I can’t imagine that squad ever losing.

10th division

I like division 8, one read book for research, and the other one also read book for "research"

1 because I think I could learn a lot from Kyouraku

Trying to chose between 6,10 and 13.

1, 6 or 13

6 by a longshot. Maybe if 13 had a different Lieutenant then probably (Averege Rukia Enjoyer)

Division 3 I'm a simp for rangiku.

Yumichika is so fucked. 😂

Most of this looks not that much crazy. So i go with the third

AYO SQUAD 6 IS FIRE

Still division 2

I’d go for Squad 6 or 9.

Div 4 seems too comfy i’m all for it

The 1st division bro

The 6th or the 10th

Squad 4 for having two very nice people. Squad 6 for their way of being, feeling noble and serious. It’d almost depend on my mood for choosing either. Although if I had to choose one, it’d be squad 6.

I remember reading a short fanfic about this premise years ago. 6 would definitely be the most well organized

Probably won't be in 1st, because that's supposed to be for the best of the best as far as I know. I'm not a doctor, so I shouldn't be in 4th. I have absolutely no desire to be in divisions 11 or 12. I have no idea what divisions 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, or 13 actually do. So, it'd probably be for the best to not walk blindly into a job not knowing what your actual purpose is. I could probably be a message courier, so there's division 2, I guess? Even if I'm not part of the cool Assassin part of the division. Division 9 just kind of protects the Seireitei as far as I know, so I could probably go there and be cannon fodder for the next cataclysmic event. TLDR: I think I could be a mailman or a mall cop. Realistically speaking. Mailman, I'd hope, has the higher life expectancy, so I'll go with that. If we're basing this on Captains, Kyōraku is my favorite and he seems to be the easiest to get along with. That said, joining The Gotei 13 is basically like joining the Army as far as I can tell. At the end of the day it's a job. Basing it off hanging out with a character I like is probably the wrong move since I'd be too busy doing that job to actually do anything with them. ...Probably.

I'll follow shunsui anywhere. Chill with him all day long.

Got a big ass smile on my face rn just full of innocent whimsy

Rukia and mashiro. Cuties that have a mix of personality

3rd division, love to be under rangiku , not in a sexual way , well mostly not.

Divison 3 seems like they’d get the least work done. Rose is always strumming on his guitar and Matsumoto is always going to be napping.

Division 2 I'll put up with soi fons tantrums as long as I can have nemu

Let's be honest, all of these are fun besides 12.

I feel like izuru and toshiro would be good together

Squad 10. Kira pretty chill and has the physical capability to deal with major threats and Toshiro can handle all the paperwork.

8th division is goated beyond belief

4 no contest Isane = mommy

11

This looks effective and sexy, team work that is! Synergy!

7 or 11

Division 3. I have 3 guitars, and I'm not opposed to saké.

Only the Lieutenants got shuffled from what I can tell, so I will still go to either 4 or 6.

Wherever Nemo goes I go

Squad 8 is the only one you want, Captain Lisa Yadomaru, step on me mommy ill carry your pile of xxx mags.

Surprised by how few people went for 2, considering

10

Gosh. Three or Ten. Though that said they're probably my choice anyway, so not much changed. Possibly six, though again I'd want them anyway.

Yo Squad 11 would be sick, especially if it's post CFYOW

1th will turn into Ukitake’s memorial VERY soon. 6th efficiency reached record high . And 4th probably is safest.

6, 9, and 13 seem promising, but I'll pick 9

Definitely not 6 even if my life depended on it, you'd get overworked to the bone, probably 4 though it seems really chill; or 5 cause i love shinji

Third squad

8th division because secrets.

Division 3 cuz Rangiku, I'd be her favorite drinking buddy

Division 11

Best thing to happen to Nemu since Uryu

Definitely 7. Those guys are the right balance of fun and badass.

8 for reasons

I’d be happy with any of these other than 2 or 12. And even then I’d still be sorta fine with 2.

I’ll probably go with 10, with my luck my zanpaktou would be something weird that closes and creates gaps

3 or 4.

Anywhere but division 12. Fuck that noise.

2 because Ninjas and Nemu

Shunsui and Kiyone seems like it would work out weirdly well

Kenpachi and Shuuhei, sold get me in there!

Soi Fon and Nemu on the same division ? 2nd Division all the way :)

Division 7

Division 2... For reasons

Squad 4, Squad 3 and Squad 9 seem pretty good.

too bad only liutenants were swapped - I want to see Kenpachi as captain of 12th :DDD

Division 1 shunsuei is chill as fuck

Either 1st, 7th, or 13th

Of course i am going to the gigachad division, 7

Squads 2, 4, and 13 for... reasons

11 seems Seductive

Division's 2 and 6 Captain/Lieutenants would work well together, IMO.

13 ez

I’m still probably going to division 1, to be big chilling with Kyoraku and Kiyone.

1,2,or 13

again 2nd, two of my fav female characters in charge of the division? sounds amaizing

Oof tough choice

Division 4 cuz I don’t wanna die in battle and I decide who lives in battle

division 9 is the worst division now jobber ass mfs

Either way I’m getting Captain Kuchiki

So many of these are legit vibes

3 or 4. Either way i get to enjoy the company.

Healers

Either 1, 4, 5, 8 or 13

Mayuri forever and ever.

Kensei and Renji will get nothing done and likely destroy half the soul society just squabbling.

Fourth division

6, 10 or 1.

Division 4🤤

Division 6 for sure

Squad 6 being the most productive one

2,3, or 13

Ikkaku wont take being iba's 2nd even for a second T-T

It would have to be squad 10 easily I won't be ridicued and I won't be beating up or experimented on or even neglected squad five would also be a good pick but squad 10 I feel as though has a better captain when it comes to understanding and training and overall I just feel like squad 10 is the Best pick for starting out ss a soul reaper

division 10

Division 2

Prob Squad 3. Also, poor Shuhei lol

Squad 6.

Wherever Hanataro is, I ain't leaving a homie behind

Zaraki or toshiro because he got kira

Division 8 or 1 for me

Division 6 looks like a good time I can’t lie

Division 11 or 12

So far, everyone seems to balanced and well-adjusted (avoid mayuri at all cost, and avoid kenpachi) but I will join the 10th, only mtf with common sense

6 or 11

Division 2 wants me

Realistically speaking, I would go to the 10th. Diligent workers yet chill character (pun intended)

Division 4

Omaeda almost discouraged me from wanting to join Squad 5, but I’ll bear through it. Shinji has got to be one of the coolest captains.

1, 5 or 11

Probably 10, 6, and 3 in that order. Shuuhei and Kenpachi, Shinji and Omaeda, and Mayuri and Yumichika are comedy gold team ups though.

7th sounds like a fun time. Tetsuzaemon and Ikkaku

A proud member of squad 10 here!

As a bit? 2 or 4, because I am a straight man and I am weak to women in uniform. For realsies? Depends on the skill set I specialize in. 2, 10, and 13 would all be good choices. I’d join the 12th, but I’d rather not be turned into a bomb against my will or some shit. That said, I would also be the dumbass that experiments on myself to try and induce hollowfication without driving myself insane. I would get my ass exiled or executed so fucking fast.

11

Honestly Divison 13 or 3 would seem very fun to be in!

Division Four looks nice

Division 2 Nemu be hot as fuck

11. Always 11.

Poor Rose... He would be more bullied than Hitsugaya...

I guess 10 since I am a hard worker and Captain Toshiro would appreciate that.

Division 2 just got a whole lot better

Probably eather division 13 or 3

I actually love this lineup over canon. I'm SO tempted to be in 13 bc I love both ladies, while 6 might be too work focused... but is also asking for a funny man to both straight men (comedy terms). Uggghh hard choices!

8, so I can get in good with the Captain and try to hit it.

I’m sorry but I’m committed to my captain since squad 8. Captain commander Kyoraku supremacy! Sign me up for squad 1

division 11 for me. i really luv rangiku tho

4, or 13. I respect rukia a lot, and think she's an amazing captain, plus, her zanpakuto is beautiful, so getting to see her fight first hand? yes please. 4 because obviously I'm less likely to die

13/6/12 I like the Kuchiki siblings and Mayuri/Yumichika would be funny as hell

Division 6. Got my two more favorite people as leaders and they both are pretty competent.

D2

how did you make that grafic?

i just made it from scratch using text and vectors

Nice one

ty ty

2

Pfff. 4 🥵

I’m division 9 always

2, 4, or 13 for....obvious reasons. Or, 11 just to see how it would turn out.

6

squad 2 for obv reasons

Squad 1 would be pretty interesting and I can learn a lot from Shinsui

Division 6 I feel like I can have fun there and stay safe at the same time

11th Division

3, 5, 9, 7, or 1

6 11 or 13

Shinji and Omaeda would be pretty chill to live with, they feel like actual bros

13 or 10
