Yoruichi Shihōin (Mangetsu20)



Yoruichi Shihōin (四楓院 夜一, yoruichi shihouin; Jap Lit Translation, "Night Family Wisdom of the City Court,") is the former joint Captain of the 2nd Division, & Commander-In-Chief of the Onmitsukidō Militia, as the Princess to the Noble Shihōin Clan. She forgoes the responsibilities and positions, however, as she chooses to rescue Tessai Tsukabishi and Kisuke Urahara, from being sentenced wrongly due to Sōsuke Aizen's manipulation behind the scenes, following onto becoming Kisuke's partner as they will be stationed in the World of the Living out of his "Candy Shop".

Yoruichi sometime within the next decade encounters a young man, Akisame, an encounter for which changes her protoge and partner, Seu-Fon's life. During the Epilogue of the Ultharon War, Yoruichi is sent by Kisuke Urahara one last time to assist Seu-Fon and the others from the unknown threat while he tries to contact Ichigo Kurosaki. In which Yoruichi runs across Akisame and his conspicuous mentor, she takes Akisame with her for extra assistance as she narrowly rescues Seu-Fon from certain demise. As she gauged the slowly rejuvenating Gran Vasto Lorde's Spiritual Power, she immediately turns to command Seu-Fon to leave with Akisame and warn the Soul Society while she holds him off. As her long-standing protoge and partner leaves her to die, she fights vigorously despite the odds, and only manages to wound him superficially.

Fate however smiles on her, as Yoruichi is rescued by an unknown entity before being brought to a strange transparent reflective dimension. As she would awake, she is greeted by the assumed deceased Gin Ichimaru along with Sōdai Takuji, whom instructs her and the other "deceased" Soul Reaper Captains in keeping secret and out of sight, while training for the upcoming, foreseen conflicts that would arise. Thus, Yoruichi wholeheartedly agrees to join Gin's Defense Force known as Tenhai.
