Notable Features:
Clothing (Non-Uniform) - For non-uniform attire, Yosuke wears a fine made silken kimono. The kimono he wears displays a multitude of colors black, violet, purple, and a darker shade of purple. These are a few of Yosuke favorite colors, the most liked being Violet. The patterns are weaved in and out with intricate design by flawless precision that took a great time, skill, and dedication to create his favored outfit. He wears a purple neck scarf that is layered and trail back down to his ankles, along with a "drape" if you will in a similar color and fashion only that drapes down from across his shoulders down to the front side of his ankles. Finally, he wears a translucent and enchanted Hagoromo that seems to "float" around him His long purple hair is partially kept up in his ponytail which flows down to his lower back, along with adorning a ginpaku kazahana no uzuginu or silver-white windflower scarf with is Uniform as well as Non-Uniform attire. Typically only heads of the Kuchiki family wear the scarf along with kenseikan. However, Yosuke wears his scarf to distinguish him as nobility from the Kuchiki family when meeting with other squads, and or their Lieutenants given the fact that most squads aren't always working with one another. This is a way for Yosuke to set himself apart from other shinigami he might come into contact with.
Personality:
The Neurotic - In modern terms, Yosuke could be considered to be slightly neurotic, though not in dangerous quantities. Yosuke is highly success-driven. He is also somewhat reserved, preferring the company of a select few to that of the many. Over time, he has learned to suppress this quality when required, though at his most 'base' level the reserved quality is still present. Though this aloof nature would almost seem to be a contradiction to this, he has a tendency to desire to be seen in a positive light which is why he opens up and becomes more laid back when he becomes more comfortable around people. It is this trait that leads him to perform generous actions and to take time out of his schedule to aid others when he can. This trait also makes him incredibly diplomatic, and he prefers to settle disputes by negotiation rather than by the drawing of his blade when practical.
The Perceptive -Yosuke's greatest traits are his intellect and capability to learn. His curiosity extends to a great number of subjects, and it does not take him long to understand topics that he truly sets his mind to. That being said, he is also incredibly perceptive, being able to 'pick apart' minor details and test their significance to the matter at hand with relative ease. Even as much as he enjoys learning and studying everything around him, Yosuke also enjoys teaching and does so whenever he has downtime from his duties. This studious nature also has the impact of making him quite a curious individual even in situations wherein curiosity might not be appropriate.
The Compassionate - Yosuke is somewhat of an oddity as far as most members of the Kuchiki clan act. True he does have a profound sense of justice and dignity about him. While he does maintain many personality traits that are customary of the Kuchiki clan he is extremely compassionate and is not afraid to show his compassion particularly for those within his division. He does not see the members of his squad as simply shields against the never-ending hordes of Hollows. Rather he views each as a member of his family and would gladly do his all to protect them from harm. He is incredibly personal with those within his division and takes great lengths to make sure that they are well cared for and looked after.
The Cold - Many of the aforementioned personalities are states of mind that Yosuke must be in to truly reflect the overall description of each personality. It is not so much as a personality disorder as everyone's personality fluctuates between their moods and the circumstances thrust upon them. Yosuke is no exception to this. In particular, when he is extremely enraged, threatened, or something to this degree whatever the triggering event may be will simply depend on the situation at hand. However, if Yosuke ever enters into the personality trait which so codenames the Cold, whoever is near will instantly be able to feel this shift in personality. Firstly his eyes, Yosuke's eyes will change from their usually upbeat or somewhat serious tone to those he likes to call the eyes of a killer, or manslayer. His eyes are cold and piercing filled with murderous intent. Typically when showing this side of his personality so to will he steadily release his Reiatsu into the atmosphere affecting the weather which can decrease the immediate temperature around the vicinity and cause a creeping mist like fog to creep around lowly on the ground within the area. Yosuke does not like being in this mind state at all and actively avoids doing so. It is true that strength can come from emotions and Yosuke can definitely be incredibly powerful in his own right in this mindset. Not saying that this personality trait "powers" him up or anything to that effect, but rather his will to win, to survive, to destroy whatever the situation at hand calls for his will increases dramatically to see the objective through. In this mindset, Yosuke is completely unforgiving and seems like a completely different version of himself. He has no qualms about how he goes about the task at hand, nor how he treats the victims on the opposing end of his blade. Normally Yosuke abstains from trying to mutilate his enemies and offers a quick and painless death whenever possible. This personality trait of his differs in the fact that he does not care about the amount of pain caused to him, nor his enemies. As long as he achieves what he needs to get done sucessfully he will go through whatever lengths to see it so.

Reiryoku Level:
High Spiritual Power- Yosuke has a much larger reserve of Reiryoku than most Shinigami, primarily due to his heritage being from one of the four noble clans of the Kuchiki Clan. A clan is known for giving birth to some of the most notable and powerful shinigami in the history of the seireitei. Aside from the genetic boon that grants him with averagely more Reiryoku than most Shinigami, Yosuke has trained for man years after graduating from the Shinōreijutsuin at the age of 97. 103 long hard years of training, mentorship, dedication, and intestinal fortitude led Yosuke to the level he is at, and he won't stop until he becomes stronger. Strong enough to enforce the laws of the seireitei upon any who break them regardless of rank, status, or skill.
Sensing Reiryoku:
Expert- Yosuke is an expert at sensing Reiryoku, primarily due to his fathers own strict regime that he was placed under from a young age. Such is customary of members of the Kuchiki family and the son of Shirogane is no exception to this policy. Yosuke has also picked up a similar ability to his fathers albeit not as powerful as his. Yosuke is capable of sensing whether someone is lying though this is not always accurate as a large part in this ability depends on the individual's state of mind. Someone who is calm and collected while he is sensing out their Reiryoku might be lying yet Yosuke may not be able to tell the difference.
Reiryoku Control:
Great Control- Yosuke has great control over his Reiryoku this is due to his 103 years of intense training during the span he has been within the Gotei 13 after passing the academy. Since then he has unlocked his Shikai and spent most of his training time working to perfect its abilities this slow grind day after day has lead Yosuke to have great control of his reiryoku a feat he is proud of. This being said Yosuke is still seeking for room to grow and knows he is nowhere near his maximum potential. He continues to strive to new heights of power all in the hope to one day surpass his father and to be able to protect everyone within the Sixth Division.
Reiatsu:
Expert- Yosuke has what some may call average reiatsu among seated officers and such or at least typically what has been the case for most in the past. True enough he has unlocked his ability to use Shikai and even now trains to further his mastery over it. As a member of the Kuchiki family, he has trained tirelessly from a very young age and has been sent on many missions since his span of time being assigned to the Gotei 13. All of his experience, training, knowledge and natural ability has lead to his reiatsu reaching such levels. He is able to release his reiatsu with fine control in small increments, or large bursts of expanding energy. Yosuke can manipulate his reiatsu in various manners.
Reiatsu Colors:
White
Reiatsu Shape:
Yosuke's Reiatsu when released is shown a thin veil of aura around his body with flickering crystals glinting light off of them as they rise up around him before evaporating into the atmosphere.
Reiatsu Effect(s):
Yosuke's reiatsu has two primary effects, Firstly, which affects low-level shinigami which is fear. A cold throat clenching fears that can cause his opponents to hesitate before confronting him. The second effect is that of physical manifestation forcing the nearby area to drop in temperature as a thin veil of misting fog spreads across the immediate area. Snow can appear on nearby physical surfaces resulting in the true power of Yosuke's reiatsu of being Snow manipulation/Creation.
Reiatsu Type:
Element Type- Snow
Zanjutsu Level:
Expert Swordsman- Yosuke has created his own style of swordsmanship known as the Kanpū ken-ryū (寒風剣流, Cold Wind Sword Style). This technique relies on fluid movements and high-tier speeds to deliver maximum power with every stroke as such not only does it rely heavily upon Zanjutsu skills but also Hoho skills as well. The technique focuses on maintaining maximum agility and mobility while using incredible speeds to supplement lack of physical strength to deliver crushing blows from the speed behind the attacks. This swordsmanship technique is incredibly flexible and has different variations to it that allow practitioners of this style to fight with opponents one on one or take on multiple opponents at once using the blinding god-like speed to strike down opponents before they realize what has transpired. Developed to allow a single samurai to defeat numerous foes single-handedly, the Hebi no odori is rooted in the concept of ichi no tachi, or to strike in a single blow, practitioners of this style use a combination of immense speed and agility, and acquired, observation-based techniques that permits a practitioner to anticipate an opponent's movements. Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement to increase a practitioner's ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy.
Hohō Level:
Shunpo Expert- Yosuke is extremely skilled when it comes to utilizing high-speed movements. Years of training underneath the tutelage of his father, the Shinōreijutsuin, and his own training has given Yosuke a far above average level of skill in the art of shunpo. His skill is primarily utilized with his offensive swordsmanship style usually focus on powerful bursts of speed over short distances, and ever-changing fluid movements of varying speed to confuse opponents designed to create openings or take them by surprise before unleashing his assault upon them.
Hakuda Level:
Hakuda Practitioner- Yosuke, for the most part, despises Hakuda. Not because he feels it is inferior offensively to any other techniques one might use as he has seen Hakuda destructive power with his own eyes before. Rather Yosuke feels Hakuda lacks any true art. It is a barbaric method of fighting in his eyes and holds no grace or dignity as other forms of offensive combat do. For this reason, Yosuke has seemingly neglected his part in learning Hakuda, he is skilled enough in it to where he is confident in his abilities against average hollows or other shinigami, though he would never outright use this as his primary form of offense.
Kido Skill Level:
Kidō Specialist- To this day Yosuke is only capable of pulling off Kido in the 60's range with never really attempting to pull any kido out that is above level 70. This is not his greatest skill that is to be sure similarly with Hakuda he has more knowledge in Kido than he does Hakuda however, Kido is not his primary way of fighting. Often times Yosuke will utilize Kido to create an opening to close the gap between his and his opponent and attempt to finish them off using his preferred fighting method of Zanjutsu. He is capable of performing powerful lower-ranked Kido while his mid-tier ranked Kido may not be as powerful as others he is still proud of the feats he has accomplished thus far. His favorite Kido technique, of course, is Sōkatsui. Having learned this technique from a very young age he has spent years cultivating it and mastering it to what he perceives as its fullest potential at his current skill level. If you had to name his most iconic and favored technique Sōkatsui would be the one Yosuke would claim.
Known Spells:
Bakudo: Sekienton, Shitotsu Sansen, Tsuriboshi, Enkōsen, Rikujōkōrō
Hado: Byakurai, Shakkahō, Sōkatsui, Daichi Tenyō, Raikōhō
Skills and Abilities:
Impressive Reflexes:
Yosuke has impressive reflexes despite his age. The main reason for his quick response/reaction timing is primarily due to his training and creation of his own Zanjutsu Style the Kanpū ken-ryū. His training and creation of this technique rely on incredible agility, mobility, speed, and precise timing. Over the years training and creating this swordsmanship style. Yosuke's body has naturally overtime began to gradually enhance itself as an effect of this his reflexes have improved drastically as well. This, in turn, allows Yosuke to sometimes react towards actions without having to think about it making him in some instances appear far more experienced than he may actually be. Most of the time when cases of his reflexes kick in and he is able to do some seemingly amazing feat is primarily due to sheer dumb luck and sine reflexes typically are involuntary responses in response to a stimulus he can't willfully repeat the action again.
Impressive Agility:
Yosuke has incredible agility primarily given to his body size and composition. He is incredibly nimble and is extremely fast and light on his feet. He is particularly skilled at Static and Dynamic balance which allows him to use his strength and coordination skills to alter his body, and change positions seemingly effortlessly while standing still, in the air, during a movement, or any other action one might think of. His agility is mainly seen in play when utilizing various high-speed movement techniques, though this does not just refer to shunpo style moves. It also refers to his offensive capabilities within Zanjutsu, and his ability to move his other limbs and entire body overall. This can make it rather difficult for someone to effectively land a hit on Yosuke. Effectively being used here in the sense of someone may be able to hit Yosuke but due to his Agility, Reflexes, and Flexibility, he can very easily twist, alter, and shift is body in such manners to mitigate damage where applicable.
Impressive Flexibility:
Yosuke is extremely flexible and devotes much of his mornings to performing various Dynamic, and Statis stretching exercises. This improves in small increments everything required for him to be incredibly Agile. Balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, and endurance all can be enhanced through stretching as such Yosuke has developed his own stretching regime mixed with Dynamic and Static-Active stretching drills to improve his flexibility. Some of his techniques incorporate Yoga while others incorporate Pilates. The overall health and physical strengthening benefits of stretching over the vast many years he has incorporated these techniques has lead to Yosuke having a seemingly small frame. That being said he is incredibly physically fit despite his appearance.
Equipment:
Explosive bands:
The bands on Yosuke's neck and wrists possess explosive properties. By removing them, he can use them to produce blinding explosions and generate large quantities of smoke.
Inventions:
Kanpū ken-ryū (寒風剣流, Cold Wind Sword Style) Techniques:
Hisame Bassaiken (氷雨伐採剣, Ice Rain Felling Sword; Hailstorm Slaying Blade)
Usually initiated by a powerful jump, this technique places its user above the opponent, thus opening up more vulnerabilities in the latter. This technique's practitioner uses the momentum of his fall to strengthen a two-handed sword swing that brings his blade down on his enemy's head or shoulder.
Fuyu ikarimai (冬怒り舞, Winter's Fury Dance)
Most effective when surrounded by enemies as this technique has the user spin to attack in all directions. It can also be used as a counterattack against a thrust or charge, one sidesteps a forward-moving opponent and moves past them. In doing so, one spins in a full circle, adding momentum and centrifugal force to the strength of the sword swing, which is then aimed at either the opponent's back or the back of the neck.
Fuyu-fū Kakoi (冬風囲い, Winter Wind Enclosure; Surrounded by Cold Wind)
A massive flurry of strikes delivered to the opponent. The sheer speed of the slashes makes this technique difficult to counter or defend and is considered best to wear down more sturdy and enduring opponents.
Kanpūshi (寒風死, Cold Wind Death; Death by Cold Winds)
This is a standard, shoulder-level ground thrust. The user prepares by dropping into a partial crouch, both knees bent, right arm drawn back and left arm extended forward. Grasping the handle of the sword in the right-hand and rests the tips of the fingers of the left hand on the blade near the tip of the blade. The user then performs a powerful forward dash or lunge normally Yosuke uses the Bakuhatsu kaminari: (爆発雷, Exploding Thunder) technique whilst thrusting his blade outwards creating an incredibly potent thrust technique that is capable of breaking through concrete with ease.
Kanpūshi: Jōshō-fū (寒風死•上昇風 Death By Cold Winds: Rising Wind)
he user adopts a position similar to the one seen in Kanpūshi; however, the user's arms are positioned slightly differently, with the blade pointing diagonally up. The attack itself is not a lunge, but a hop skyward in conjunction with an upward thrust.
Kanpūshi: Kōsetsu (寒風死•降雪, Death By Cold Winds: Snowfall)
The user adopts a position similar to the one seen in Kanpūshi; however, the user's arms are positioned slightly differently, with the blade pointing diagonally down. The attack itself is not a lunge, but a jump followed by a downward thrust as the user is landing.
Yamakaze (山風, Mountain Window; Wind Blowing from the Mountains)
The Yamakaze is a two-strike technique performed while the sword is still sheathed, drawing the blade out in an instance using the friction of the blade running against the sheath to allow the blade to be withdrawn at tremendous speeds once the blade tip has reached the entrance of the sheath. After the first strike with the quickened sword, the user wields the empty sheath along the same path as a blunt weapon. After the sword strike lands, the sheath strike delivers a pulverizing blow capable of crushing bone and shattering wood, but if the sword strike misses, the sheath strike acts as powerful insurance, preventing an opponent's attack and delivering a crushing blow when it's least expected.
Fubuki kenbu (吹雪剣舞, Snowstorm Sword Dance; Blizzard Blade Dance)
A combo attack using "Nagareru kawa" to flow around the enemy, confusing them with a constant change in speed. Yosuke will then strike from various points, slashing them with his Jian blade. Though he is nearly impossible to hit during the Fubuki kenbu, he is vulnerable for an instant when he switches from a defensive to an offensive stance.
Hohō Techniques:
Nagareru kawa: (流れる川, Flowing River)
This is moving technique where Yosuke moves around silently, rapidly alternating between fast and slow movements and confusing the opponent due to the fluid motion & continuously changing speed, the technique's imagery is evocative of the ninjutsu technique of kagebunshin no jutsu, in where a ninja exploits the limits of human vision to create illusions with footwork and control of movement to distract and confuse opponents. It can be beaten by watching for the moment the user attempts to strike.
Bakuhatsu kaminari: (爆発雷, Exploding Thunder)
This technique requires incredibly powerful leg muscles to perform. The basis of this technique is to focus every ounce of your energy that you typically would use to move into one solid concise action. Wasting no amount of excess energy and applying yourself in such a way that maximizes the speed behind this technique. Overall the ability is simply a single directional dashing technique that is used to cross a distance with incredible speed. Primarily Yosuke uses this as a preparatory movement in order to quickly and effectively close the gap between him and his opponent whilst during the movement and thanks to his incredible agility he prepares to mount an attack before reaching his target making sure that he does not waste energy on the execution of an attack once he reaches his destination. For a brief example, this technique is primarily seen as being used with incredibly powerful thrust techniques. The speed in which the practitioner moves in their single direction is great enough to supply powerful force behind a thrusting attack that depending on the user's skill with zanjutsu and this technique is capable of obliterating concrete walls. This technique does not have to be used in an offensive manner, however, true that the incredible speed in a single direction of this technique will greatly supplant a physical strike due to the velocity of movement, however, this technique can also be used to evade attacks if a block or counter is unfeasible or impractical.
Zanpakuto Name:
Kōri no kesshō (氷の結晶, Ice Crystal)
Zanpakuto Appearance:
The regular sealed form of Kōri no kesshō is not your standard katana it takes the shape of a Jian blade. The Jian is a double-edged straight sword. Yosuke's Jian blade is 70 cm in length, 28 in, and weighs approximately 700grams or 1.5lbs. The weight and shape of his Jian blade allow Yosukes movements with the blade to reach incredibly highspeed seemingly giving him the moniker The Ultra-sonic Swordsman.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
Kōri no kesshōs or Kōri, as she prefers to go by, spirit appearance is that of a Snow kitsune or Snow fox. She is extremely cold and bitter towards Yosuke tho in a playful manner and deeply cares about her wielder and partner. Though she would never outright admit these feelings she likes to toy with Yosuke whenever he is in the middle of his training with her or make side and sneer remarks simply to annoy him being true to her legacy as a mischievous fox.
Inner World:
Tsumetai mori: (冷たい森, The Cold Forest)
This is the inner world of Yosuke's Zanpakuto. It is an endless forest constantly filled with snow, and biting winds Snow ever falls here without fail. The first time Yosuke entered his inner world he was in awe and was shocked by the never-changing landscape. For hours he would walk in any one direction with the forest and snowfall never-ending. This has earned his inner world the moniker, Tsumetai mori: (冷たい森, The Cold Forest). In truth this is the one place out of everywhere else he could be that Yosuke truly feels the depth of "Cold" Neither while using his Zanpakuto or in other remote and snow barren landscapes does he feel the depth of the bitter bite f the cold as much as he does so in his Zanpakutos inner world.
Shikai Theme
Release Phrase:
"Turn All Into a Tundra, Kōri no kesshō"
Shikai:
In his released state, Yosukes Zanapkuto does not change in shape and stays in the same Jian Blade style, it does, however, receive a unique frost-like pattern on the blade as a cold seeping mist flows off of the blade silently.
Shikai Special Ability:
Kōsetsu: (降雪, Snowfall)
Kōri no kesshōs special ability is the generation and manipulation of primarily Snow. Kōri no kesshō is capable of transferring Yosukes Reiryoku into the snow. This is done by manipulating the weather and allows for gradual snowfall in the early stages of his Shikai being released. As the course of the battle continues the snow will begin to fall heavier and in much more volume. This will allow Ysuke to perform more sophisticated and powerful attacks as he will have more snow to utilize at his disposal.
Yosuke is capable of generating Snow by manipulating the weather with his Shikai. He is then able to command the snow to attack his opponent with crushing force whether by hand or sword movements the snow will react accordingly. Either in small fast striking tendrils of snow designed to smash his opponent with great speed or large waves of snow designed to crush and freeze his opponent. Yosuke can manipulate the snow to take various forms and different attack patterns aiding in attacking his opponent from multiple directions at once.
The snow generated by Kōri no kesshō also has an incredibly unique characteristic about it. This characteristic is what makes it incredibly dangerous for opponents to engage in long term battles with Yosuke. Over the course of the fight, the snow itself whether in the attacks Yosuke makes or simply the light snowflakes falling to the ground, the snow littering the ground that his opponents step in. Etc. All of this gradually in small increments begins to absorb the Reiryoku from his opponent. Just as normal snow saps the heat from one's body, this snow to saps the Reiryoku from his opponents which causes his Shikai to self generate snow as the battle progresses no longer requiring Yosuke to supply the creation fo the snow with his own power allowing him to focus on the immediate fight at hand.
Hoshizora yuki no kiba: (星空の雪の牙, Starry Snow Fang)
The only real "attack" technique that Yosuke knows in his Shikai state. This is the one ability that primarily acts solely as an offensive ability. the Hoshizora yuki no kiba, is a technique in which Yosuke releases a large volume of snow from the tip of his blade that rushes out with incredible speed and force. The technique is designed to crush his opponent through volume and speed easily capable of breaking bones, damaging organs, causing severe bruising, and similar type wounds. The other effect of this technique is the bone-chilling cold. This technique is so potently cold that it freezes the liquids within the area that it attacks. I.e. if someone were to partially dodge this attack and only have their arm encased in the snow then not only would the liquid in the arms be frozen thus freezing their arm into a solid chunk of flesh. The force behind the attack itself would cause these frozen pieces of flesh to also shatter apart. This technique, however, is used as a last resort type of technique. The sheer amount of snow generated from this technique, the power behind it, and primarily the temperature in which Yosuke must make it be in order to freeze liquids near instantaneously will leave Yosuke at his current level drained of his power and will thereby force him out of his Shikai state.

Biography:
Yosuke is the son of Shirogane Kuchiki and Tsukiyo Shihoin. When he was born like most Kuchiki being born his family threw a lavish celebration in his name and honor in the hopes that he would grow up to become a fine and distinguished member of the clan. The Kuchiki are known for their strict adherence to the laws of their clan and to those of the Soul Society, Sereitei, and Gotei 13.
Like his father before him, Yosuke was plunged into a world of training from a very early age. His father was harsh but not without compassion, Strict but not without restraint. He pushed Yosuke to his limits without feeling as if he would have threatened or truly endangered his son's life in the process of his training regiment. Upon reaching the age of 89 his father began training Yosuke in the art of swordsmanship to Zanjutsu as it is called in the Gotei 13. Yosuke instantly took a fascination to this art, and from this stemmed his love of other various forms of art.
Poetry, Music, Painting, Singing, and primarily Swordsmanship he all saw as fascinating pieces of artistic beauty. This is primarily why Yosuke began to learn to play the Biwa at a young age as well. Yosuke tries to see the beauty and good in things even if their glaring outlook could be considered one of disgust. When he finally turned 93 Yosuke was sent to the Shinōreijutsuin, or Shinō Academy to learn the arts and customs of becoming a Shinigami like his father before him. In truth, Yosuke did not pass the academy as quickly as some might suspect he would. It took Yosuke four long arduous years of training, study, and dedication to pass shortly after his 97th birthday.
During his tenure within the academy, Yosuke met many people some older, some younger, some having already passed and gone off to their own respective squads. Two of his good friends Jin, and Akane definitely helped Yosuke grow up during his time at the academy. Jin was a nervous and shy sort of guy, but once you got to know him head had a fantastic sense of humor and brightened up even the darkest of days. Akane was well she was the Dam that held back the river. She was a Strong-willed and determined girl that showed Yosuke that not everyone is as they seem. Together they both taught Yosuke valuable lessons in life. Not to judge others based off of appearances but rather actions and intents, Never to give up even in the face of adversity. They taught him the power of teamwork and the bond fo friendship. Truly these two were the first people Yosuke ever considered calling friends.
Upon graduating from the academy, Yosuke was issued his orders and was stationed within the Sixth Division under the guidance and supervision of his father Shirogane Kuchiki. The new life Yosuke had found for himself was exciting and riveting he loved every aspect of being a Shinigami, and loved becoming closer and more familiar with the other Soul Reapers that he was working beside. In truth, the Sixth Division felt more like a family to him than his own family. The Kuchikis are always a rather serious, strict, and Dignified people as such most times they do not seem as welcome as regular people might be.
103 long years of sweat, tears, blood, and fellowship with his squadmates have molded Yosuke into the man that he is today. While he loves the Sixt Division dearly, Yosuke also feels a deep sense of pride and expectations form the Kuchiki Family. He does not wish to let them down nor disappoint or dishonor those that have come before him and those that will come after him.
