Division 6

Captain: Ginrei Kuchiki Lieutenant: Kirinonai Utsuro

Quote: "Hueco Mundo is an uncharted desert filled with Hollow, the enemies of Soul Society. The 6th Division has the perilous task of knowing that dark place."

Role: The 6th Division has the highest casualty rate out of any other group in Soul Society. This is because of their purview: special operations in Hueco Mundo. They are solely responsible for keeping tabs on the Arrancar race, a job that puts them on the front-lines as a buffer between Soul Society and a foreign, dangerous world. Their archives are full of information about various high-profile Arrancar, including a few of the less reclusive Espada, which they use to coordinate efforts to stop the rapid territory expansion that has been noticed as of late. Right now, their job is the most demanding out of any division in the Gotei 13. As the Arrancar spread their sovereignty across the lands surrounding Las Noches, they gain power and become more dangerous.

Very few individuals are chosen to enter the 6th Division straight from the Shinō Academy due to the high fatality rate that comes with the position. Even volunteers who would otherwise qualify are often turned away due to inexperience in the field. Only those who have proven themselves able and willing to accept the responsibility of this command are accepted, and even then they must first apply of their own volition. The 6th Division never sends out official transfer requests. Because of this, many see the group as the elite shock-troopers of the Gotei 13, willing to put their lives on the line in a world so completely foreign to their own. Their training drills and close-knit sub-squads further show their similarities to human-world commando units.
