You can imagine my disappointment when Ikkaku was taken down by Pow for refusing to use his bankai AND while he had gentei kaijo. Where did all that strength go 😭

He's got this mentality that he'd rather fight and struggle till the last breath than reveal his secret (which shows how Yumichika got lucky that Charlotte gave him a private space to use his shikai or else this other self conscious guy would be done)

Findorr

It flusters him horribly every time. No matter how many times you do it, Findorr has a minor mental keysmash with each one. It's partially because of the sheer amount of trust in him you're offering... and partially because a sort of second-hand embarrassment is kicking in hard. When he sees you making yourself so openly, trustingly vulnerable for him, the thought creeps in of what it would feel like if he did the same in return.

Avirama

Quit messing with him!! That's not funny! Avirama isn't sure if you're trying to disturb him or just trying to get a reaction, but it's definitely working. Every time you lie back and expose way too much vulnerable skin, it hits like being stabbed. As he starts to understand that you're doing it to show how much you love him, it almost gets harder to handle. The emotional response that kind of trust drags out of him is overwhelmingly intense.

Charlotte

The show of trust gets to him. A lot. It's strange to imagine a human, of all things, willingly offering up such vulnerability, but the sight of it from someone he loves gives Charlotte all kinds of soft feelings. Expect plenty of gushing over how sweet you are every time you do that— and it's obvious that he's not fully expressing how much that gesture affects him. You're truly precious, to have so much faith in something like him.

Poww

He really doesn't know how to respond to that. You're so very small and weak next to him— there's no need to highlight your inherent vulnerability even more. At the same time, though, your willingness to show your trust in him is oddly impactful. He's not at all worthy of such open affection from anyone, and it's almost uncomfortable, for a while, to see you giving that exact thing so freely. Do you not understand what that means to him?

Ggio

You'll see his face going red every time you casually tip your head back around him. As much as Ggio would like to act cool and unaffected by what you keep doing, he ends up flustered and trying not to show it without fail. You're supposed to be above him! Showing weakness like this isn't fair. It's hard to understand why you trust him so much, and even harder to process the weird, soft feelings for you that the sight of that trust gives him.

Nirgge

It's kind of uncomfortable to see you do that, in a way where it's just... too intimate. Too trusting. It's one thing for you to put up with him, in the first place. Going out of your way to be vulnerable around him is just too much emotional softness for Nirgge to tolerate well. He won't tell you to stop, but it's not hard to notice that he's affected by what you're doing and trying his best not to show it. Humans really are stupid, if you can act like this so easily.

Tbh their relationships with each other can basically be summed up with “they’re best friends but they’d also kill each other for a damn Klondike bar” 🤣🤣🤣

There’s a ton of competition between Baraggan’s Fracciónes. It’s almost like being Hollows again, but it’s just that they’re all trying so hard to please him because they know very well that he could wipe them out of existence should he become displeased with any of them. Although they’re perfectly willing to throw each other under the proverbial bus, they do consider each other friends in a weird sort of way. At bare minimum, they’re all actually very happy to not be alone anymore.

Abirama will literally fight anyone anytime. It’s not necessarily out of a desire to hurt people – though he does have a sadistic streak to him – and if he walks away with a technical loss but having learned something, he’ll consider it a win. Often he’ll spar with the others to get energy out or to streamline his strategies. Despite being someone who typically prefers to brute-force things, he’s smarter than people give him credit for. However, the other Fracciónes will be the first to point out that he needs to take advantage of that and actually use his damn head instead of just rushing into things guns blazing.

Charlotte is the one who gets along best with everyone else. It might be hard to believe, but if Baraggan isn’t present, Charlotte is frequently the voice of reason among them all. Or at least the one who keeps everybody else from killing each other. He has a knack for reassuring and making everyone feel validated. He also tends to be the one who encourages the rest of the group, as well as other Arrancars. It says something about him that he’s able to find something good and beautiful in everyone, even his enemies. Even though the rest of them consider him odd, they all have to agree that things would be much drearier without him around.

Findorr is, for the most part, not too terribly fussed about everyone else. Despite being a high-maintenance personality, he focuses mainly on how everyone else perceives him instead of trying to sabotage the others or anything like that. He’d rather have his own strengths be the center of attention than have someone else’s flaws in the spotlight. He’s constantly trying to unravel what the next stage of life will be, so he’s that one who’s prepared for a lot of shit. His mind goes a mile a minute in an attempt to find whatever the next “answer” is going to be, so he ends up thinking of things far in advance.

Ggio is fueled by nothing but pure sarcasm. He’s always making quips at his comrades’ expense, and is the one who’s most likely to tell Baraggan it’s somebody else’s fault even if it was everyone’s faults. To his credit, he does think quickly on his feet and is a brilliant strategist, which means he gets along fairly well with Findorr. Regardless of his own comments, he’s also the one who’s most affected if somebody insults him. If he can tell they’re teasing? Fine, fine, he can take a joke. If he can tell they’re serious? It’s on. When there are no orders to follow, surprisingly enough, he likes to clean and, for lack of a better term, ‘keep house’.

Nirgge is the one who pretty much avoids everybody else as if he’s trying to be some kind of lone wolf. It’s a carryover habit from his Hollow days, since he doesn’t really hate any of the others; he’s just distant by nature. Most of the time he prefers to observe things rather than add to any interaction. Not only does it prevent him from opening his mouth and getting himself in trouble, it also allows him to gather information. When he’s in battle, he favors brute strength, and yet, outside of it, he’d rather think first before acting. Though no one understands why, Nirgge can often be found awake very early in the morning, looking or standing outside.
