Asumu Godai's Thoughts On The New Gotei 13:

Shunsui Kyōraku:  As the new Commander of their opposing faction, Asumu has a base form of respect for Shunsui. He also believes that Shunsui is sensible enough to avoid any form of confrontation with the newly reforming Wandenreich, something Asumu himself wishes to avoid.

 Byaku ya Kuchiki : He sees much in common with Byakuya, though he wouldn't define his own personal sense of honor the way Byakuya does.

Thoughts on the Wandenreich:

The Sternritter: Regardless of their personal ambitions or tendancies, Asumu cares for the well being of all Sternritter (and Quincy for that matter) under his command.
