The Gotei 13 (護廷十三隊, Goteijūsantai; lit. "13 Divisions Imperial Guards") is the dominant and most popular military force of the Soul Society. It exists alongside (but strictly separate from) the Onmitsukido and the Kidō Corps.
Following the Genryūsai Declaration, it was heavily streamlined and placed, along with its other military branches, under the General Office. Supplied now by many zaibutsu rather than the Royal Guard, they are armed with rifles, artillery, and other weapons in addition to Zanpakutō. Air and navy forces are also in construction. The layout of the individual divisions has also been made more uniform, with Kaido experts and other specialized units being included.
