Kidō Corps (Fanon Canon)

Kidō Corps (鬼道衆, Kidōshū) is an organization of specialists presiding over spiritual law that serve as a separate branch of Soul Society's military.

Overview
Among the military branches of, which are allowed the use of force by , the Kidō Corps is unique in that it rarely interacts with nor with. As such, they do not answer to the Gotei 13, but rather only to the Central 46. Similar to the latter organization, the Kidō Corps is composed exclusively of Kidō specialists that are only allowed to join by invitation. They take students from the Shinō Academy that excel in Kidō and train them to further their abilities in said area. The level of competency that they possess results in even the Gotei 13 putting their trust in their skills. However, this is a dual-edged blade. It has been stated that it would be a very horrible incident if the Kidō Corps decided to rebel against the Soul Society.

Its operations are executed in absolute secrecy. During an incident one hundred years ago, Jūshirō Ukitake noted how rare it was to see anyone from the Kidō Corps, especially the Commander. Roughly speaking, their entire organization is composed of a little over the usual amount of members found in any single Gotei 13 division. However, their level of collective power ranks them as an equally powerful militant group, if not all the greater.

History

Due to events that saw Tessai sentenced to imprisonment and Hachigen to be put to death the two escaped into exile in the Human World leaving the Kidō Corps without leadership.
