Danzōmaru



Danzōmaru (斷蔵丸) is one of the four guardians that guard the entrance to the Seireitei. He is the guardian of the Black Ridge Gate (Northern Gate). Aizen hypnotized him and the two other guardians so he can use them to give trouble to Ichigo and his friends. However, he was stopped by Jidanbō Ikkanzaka. He is the only other gatekeeper beside Jidanbō Ikkanzaka to appear in the anime. Although, it was the anime-only Bount arc. However, he is quickly dispatched by the Bounts Yoshi and Mabashi.
