Division 2

Captain: Harotaissen Tsuribakki. Lieutenant: Marenoshin Omaeda.

Quote: "The 2nd Division keeps the peace of Soul Society intact from the shadows. Just knowing that they're watching is a deterrent for crime."

Role: They are in charge of the Nest of Maggots, some special operations task groups, and the police that uphold the laws of Soul Society within the Seireitei. Although it isn't officially stated within the division's duties, they are also considered to be in charge of the apprehension of rogue Shinigami. While this duty can be claimed by any active member of the Gotei 13, the 2nd Division has focused unofficial attention towards that goal.

Members of the 2nd Division are usually agile, flexible, or stealth-oriented. Most of the applicants are also expected to have a certain personality profile that allows for extreme obedience to the formal rules of Soul Society. Because there is no room for error when you are the one upholding the law, not many are permitted to join the ranks, and those that find themselves fighting under the banner are expected to have discipline above and beyond members of other divisions. Training schedules for these Shinigami have them focusing heavily on shock-and-awe tactics, Shunpo, and detainment techniques.
