Trivia

 * It is notable that three of the current lieutenants were once associated with the 5th Division, personally recruited by former captain Aizen after their graduation from the academy. However, two of the three (Renji and Izuru) both found themselves leaving for other divisions before moving to their eventual lieutenant position. Only Momo Hinamori remained and rose to her position in the same division as her initial recruitment.
 * Another notable feature is that both former captain's Zanpakutō process abilities that are oriented to distortion of senses.
