3rd Division (Ryū Order)

The Third Division (三番隊, sanbantai), is one of the nine divisions of the Ryū Order, headed by Captains Kusaka Kori and Meian Shiba, the former holding the title of Kenpachi. The Third Division, next to the Ryū Guard, is recognized as the strongest attacking force within the Order proper and often works in tandem with the Fifth Division. The lieutenant is Kusaka brother, Sojiro Kori.

Special Duties
Just like the Fifth Division is the shield which protects the Order, her members and safeguards Horiwari, the Third Division is the sword that strikes at the Order's enemies. Aside from the Ryū Guard, the Third Division is the strongest militant force within the entire organization.

Organization
The Third Division follows basic Order principles and is headed by a Captain who, in turn, is supported by a Lieutenant.
