Forum:Jūshirō Ukitake

Do you think he is dead or just incapacitatedStark Toshiro 20:01, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Incapacitated. Weaker Shinigami have survived deadlier assaults. Plus, I don't think Tite's inclined to off any Shinigami anyway. Twocents 20:04, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

i hope he is ok cause we haven't seen much my curiosity knows no bounds with bleach anything can happen20:12, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Interrogation about one aspect, since the 4th division could heal deadly wounds or Inoue reverse injuries, why not healing Ukitake? How a shinigami could be ill? Is it a nonsensicality from Kubo? Ace of Spade 04:47, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

I would figure if souls can be damaged like a human but only through spiritually powered attacks then it would stand to reason that they also can be affected by spirit versions of illness. The existence in soul society is somewhat similar to the humans in the world of the living.Salubri 04:53, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Ukitake is probably just incapacitated since since the series tends to avoid killing off major characters, named hollows and arrancar aside. Without a lieutenant, his unit probably wouldn't fare so well with the 3rd seats in charge since they consistently fighting or arguing over who does what. According to Yamamoto who personally trained him, Ukitake is one of the strongest captains along with Shunsui.Spacedone 07:59, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

That doesn't answer my question. Since Ukitake is the only shinigami who is ill since centuries, I wonder why they can't use the 4th division or at least Orihime's powers? I know that he's ill since his youth, but that doesn't mean he can't be healed.Ace of Spade 11:47, September 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * It was never explained in the story, so it is something that we just have to accept for now. For all we know KT will explain it whenever Ukitake reappears. We don't know if 4th squad can heal such a thing (it is different to an injury). It is possible that Inoue did in fact heal him during the month that she spent in SS training with Rukia, but we will not find out until KT chooses to reveal so. --Yyp 13:09, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
