Trivia

 * Although the 3rd Ending of the anime mostly focused on the Captain and Lieutenant of the division, the ending for Fourth Division spends substantial time with other members of their squad, particularly on Hanatarō Yamada, who was focused on due to his connection to the Ichigo during the invasion. Similarly, Hanatarō appears in the final shot with Captain Unohana and Lieutenant Kotetsu, the only special lower Squad member to do so outside Eleventh Division (which featured the entire division) and Thirteenth Division (which featured both 3rd Seats due to unique circumstances).
