#squad three

I am a bit of a sucker for Squad 3. I’d also like to see more of Izuru’s relationships with his captains. Finally finishing the anime and starting Thousand Year Blood War, I realize we don’t really get to see what kind of dynamic Izuru has with Rose. Rose was one of three Vizards who (re)claimed the title of captain, taking over for Gin who replaced him after the incident that turned the Vizards…

This is how I imagine Rebecca's playlist would look like although if you want to feel things I'm sure listening to these would work :) 

The first division is focusing more on the Shino Academy. After all they need bodies, but they need trained bodies, so ain’t no one just going to skate through the academy. Nanao Ise is chosen to oversee the graduation exams to ensure the people graduating are actually ready to join the Gotie 13 and not just being pushed through.

The second division is still out hunting for any escapees from the war. The Ishida family was pardoned and therefore is not to be touched, but the other quincies who escaped and could pose a threat are being watched to make sure they don’t try anything. Soi Fon begins a club for self defense for female shinigami that Marchiyo didn’t think was the best idea, but is ignored.

The third division creates the Gotie 13 band to help promote high moral. Shuhei Hisagi helps out with this when he can, but it’s mainly Rose and partially Izuru’s pet project.

The fourth division is overwelmed, trying to care for all the people while also trying to figure out their new leadership. Isane steps in flawlessly, running the division exactly as her mentor had before. She also takes over Unohana’s flower arranging class, because it also helps with moral

The fifth isn’t like the others, they don’t really have a specialty. As the taichou, Aizen felt that wasn’t necessary. Shinji actually agrees with that, one of the only things they ever agreed on, preferring to be more adaptable. Instead Shinji and Momo try to help other divisions rebuild.

The sixth division is still connected to the Kuchiki Clan, and one of their first jobs is to help rebuild the building for the archives for the Gotie 13, a project Byakuya oversees. They also begin to help out the ninth division more with security duty since the ninth can’t do it alone anymore. Renji takes over the Gotie 13 kickball tournaments because the previous leader was killed.

Tetsuzemon Iba has a hard time taking over the seventh division. Rose comes to visit him from time to time, having worked with his mother in the past. Love drops by every so often as well to give him pointers. Iba focuses on developing his division after the fifth’s example, being diverse as possible.

The eighth suffered the least in the war due to not really participating because they had no leadership. Therefore when Lisa takes over she makes sure they are actively assisting the other divisions. Her main priority is the fourth division. She also works with Nanao on assessing the graduating students.

Kensei, Mashiro, and Shuhei make a strong team for leading the ninth. They divide up the work since the ninth actually has multiple jobs that include the magazine, the security force, and are supposed to promote culture. Shuhei makes sure all the clubs are still running to give people an escape and is working to restart the magazine to give people entertainment. Mashiro leads the security teams, getting people from the sixth, seventh, an eleventh to assist. Cooking and writing contests are used to help improve moral.

Toshiro and Rangiku don’t really know where to start at first. They’re division also doesn't really have a specialty. However they find they can easily help by just being themselves. Toshiro checks on the other divisions, especially the fifth, to make sure people aren’t running themselves into the ground. Rangiku takes the other officers out for drinks regularly to do the same thing. 

The eleventh division is actually pretty down on moral. They lost Yachiru, something that hit them all hard because while they like the atmosphere of the 11th, the cheerful girl running around was candy was always a nice change. Kenpachi and Ikkaku jump back into training, and Yumichika ensures there’s more enjoyable things for the division to do. They send people to the ninth on security patrols and work to rebuild.

The twelveth is the least changed on moral. The division as a whole always had low moral to begin with. However it is going up because now they’re taichou can’t use any of them for his experiments as they are too low on people. They, like the fourth, are the most utilized the division in the rebuild as their technologies are needed to help create temporary structures until perminate ones can be made.

My new book 'Fireproof' is out now on Wattpad

Rose is the most passionate about this, followed by Shuhei who has finally learned how to play the guitar. Izuru just goes along with it because it’s his taichou and best friend, so what is he going to do?

Rose sets up two types of bands. There’s a band who focuses more on traditional music, and then Rose’s own pet project that is a metal band, because Rose loves European Metal music for some reason. Shuhei is part of that one because it allows him to use his electric guitar and the the practices are once a week instead of daily, otherwise Kensei would not let this happen.
