History

The earliest members of the Second Division included Anika, who served as its leader, as well as those who served as her disciples prior to the establishment of the Gotei 13; Anika was one of the so-called criminals. Anika's disciples served as the first members of what would eventually be known as the Onmitsukidō, with Anika gaining the title of "Flash Goddess" (瞬神, shunshin).
