Vizard Corps

"Everybody else was making up organizations, so we thought we'd whip one up too."

- Shinji Hirako

The Vizard Corps is one of the four military organizations in the Tetra Alliance.  It is the smallest force overall, with a grand total of eleven members.

Pre Soul War
While not an official organization until the Soul War began, the Vizard Corps' origins can be traced back to the first of Sosuke Aizen's experiments regarding the hollowfication of Shinigami. While most of his early victims were killed, three managed to defeat the Hollow within and fled to the World of the Living. These three were Kaoru Fujimoto, Hairi Kimura, and Rin Yamauchi. They were followed shortly after Shinji Hirako, Kensei Mugurama, Love Aikawa, Rojuro Otoribashi, Hachigen Ushoda, Lisa Yadomaru, Mashiro Kuna, and Hiyori Sarugaki. However, the aforementioned eight had the aid of Kisuke Urahara, Tessai Tsukabishi, and Yoruichi Shihoin, and as such, their inner hollows were "stabilized" moreso than the first three. Neither group knew of the other's existence, with the first three Vizard opting to move far, far away from areas with high concentrations of spiritual pressure in hopes that they could prolong their lives by avoiding Soul Society. The other eight, however, had the luxury of having a Kido master in their ranks, and were capable of putting up a barrier that would mask their presence in Karakura Town.

While the Karakura Town Vizard went on to help in the Winter War, the traveling three did not. They momentarily returned to Japan to see if their help was needed, but decided against jumping into the fray. However, after that, they stayed in the country, even venturing into places like Karakura Town every once in awhile.
