Very well, seems like I was mostly correct then. In essence, the Juusanseiza is as I had thought, a band of wild cards, that can go wherever they want but are acknowledged by the Central 46 for the effects they might have on the spiritual planes. Some of them might be against Soul Society, others might be with, and others yet are content to stand on the sidelines.

In other words, we should probably steer clear of the term organization, as it's rather misleading, considering that an organization is, well, organized. In fact, I can't exactly find a word for what exactly they are, but that's semantics and can be taken later.

Now, in regards to the Numbers of the Juusanseiza, I've come up with a possible way to deal with that.

Working off of Sei's reasoning, which is pretty much in line with my own, although definitely clearer in it's message, here's what I propose.

The Numbers is basically their level of priority as seen by the Central 46. In the sense that it determines how quickly and how brutally they might change the dynamics between the worlds, essentially their power to enact change in the now, whether that be through politics, special abilities or raw combat potential. By priority, I mean the sense that they priority having that character contained or controled on way or another, whether that be by recruiting them to their cause or kill them in the case of those few Juusanseiza who are outright hostile to Soul Society.

As an example, someone like Minato Kuramoto would probably be among the lowest ranked in terms of priority. Because the threat with Minato doesn't lie in who he is now as much as it lies in the person he will eventually become.

Someone like say, Ryuichi Ishida however, would probably be ranked quite highly due to the vast amount of potential he has, and his ability to give a definite advantage to any side who recruits him.
