Makoto Kibune

Makoto Kibune (貴船 理, Kibune Makoto) sometimes translated as Kifune is an anime only character. he is added to Third Division as the 3rd seat.

Appearance
He bears a strong resemblance to the Arrancar Szayel Aporro Granz, but with brown hair and a calm, collected personality. He wears the standard Soul Reaper uniform with a purple sweater underneath and purple-rimmed glasses.

History
Makoto was once a top student at the Shinigami Academy, but his focus on becoming more powerful at the expense of all else precluded him from gaining a position in the Gotei 13. Learning his shikai allowed him admission, but his disregard for the lives of his comrades kept him from advancing in rank. Disgusted, he quit his squad and joined one of the patrol squads under Shūsuke Amagai. Around this time, he became a servant of Gyōkaku Kumoi and gained a bakkōtō that increased his power exponentially, though his exact role in Kumoi's plans is unclear.

Personality
While he outwardly appears friendly towards his subordinates, he is highly intolerant towards failure, calling those who fall in battle "trash". Similar to the arrancar Ulquiorra Schiffer.
