Gin Ichimaru (Ash)

"Feelings, eh? Nah, 'fraid not. Don't got none o' them. Didn't I tell ya, back when we first met? I'm a snake. Cold of flesh and devoid of heart. My tongue flicks back and forth, ever in search of new prey, and if I like what I find, I swallow 'em whole."

- Gin Ichimaru to Sōsuke Aizen.

Gin Ichimaru (市丸 ギン, Ichimaru Gin) is a Reigai (霊骸, Spirit Body) which was formed by Girado Riendo Mariposa as a test of his own capabilities. However, due to the incompleteness of the Reigai - not possessing Gin's Bankai - Girado deemed the project as a failure and allowed it to be let free on its own terms. Having the memories of the original Gin implanted into him, it is unknown what this specific Reigai desires from his travels within Hueco Mundo thus far.

Zanjutsu Master
"I'm not saying I don't remember your blade. I'm saying I don't remember your heart. When you cross blades, you can tell a little of what your opponent's thinking. I'm not saying you can read their mind or anything like that, but you can tell what kind of resolve lies behind their blade, whether they respect you or look down on you. That kind of thing, you can tell. When I'm actually fighting, there's no time to think about it, so I don't usually realize until afterwards, but in general, the stronger the opponent is, the more of that "heart" seems to come across."

- Ichigo Kurosaki commenting on Gin's blade.

Kidō Expertise
"Indeed, her spiritual pressure has disappeared."

- Sōsuke Aizen under the misconception that Gin's Hakufuku killed Rangiku Matsumoto
