2 Leaders that once were allies now fight together once again to face a common foe ~ Aizen Sousuke. Shinji Hirako is leader of the Visored whereas Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto is leader of the Gotei 13. Prior to Kisuke's banishment, Shinji was Aizen's superior and, like all Captains, took orders from Captain Yamamoto. Upon discovering the hollow experimentation was implemented on various Shinigami Captains & Lieutenants, Central 46 announced that they are to be executed. To save them from execution, Kisuke & Yoruichi did the unthinkable and ran away to the Human World as to escape persecution. Years later did they know that Shinji Hirako & the rest of the Visored were very much alive and led their own faction that implemented their Shinigami & Hollow powers together. When Shinji & Yamamoto met face-to-face, it suggests a bit of tension between the two considering Shinji doesn't quite see his old Leader as a friend or ally, but rather explicates that he is Ichigo's ally. He despises Aizen, but doesn't quite trust the Gotei 13 ~ which suggests why Captain Yamamoto was unsheathing his blade the moment Shinji explained "We aren't allies." Yamamoto was just about to cut down Shinji, but as soon as Shinji explained that Aizen was there foe & Ichigo was their ally, Yamamoto stopped himself ~ knowing full well that despite what happened in the past, they must face Aizen now before it's too late. A bitter union, but nonetheless paves way for rekindling since we see Shinji, Rose, & Kensei resume their duties as the 3rd, 5th, & 9th division Captains.
I hope you all enjoyed this week's Throwback.
