Mabashi

is a male Bount, and one of the only to die at the hand of a captain.

Appearance
Mabashi is unique in overall appearance. His orange-red hair is messy and long on the right side, but clean and cut short on the left. He wears shorts and a sleeveless shirt (both sporting a black trim). The red necklace he wears is used to connect his doll's sealed form.

Personality
He didn't seem to care if his views went against Kariya's, as he refused to drink the bitto's elixir. But after he did, he seemed to be overconfident and facetious. Against Soifon, he didn't even find it necessary to fight her. This leads us to believe that he is not a very perceptive fighter and leaves the heavy duty work to his doll, Ritz.

Synopsis
Yoshino, a fellow bount, was killed to create the bitto, which drew pure, concentrated souls from humans. Mabashi didn't want to at first, stating it was against the laws of their tribe, but with violent persuasion from Kariya, he drank it. Doing so made him lose sanity and become addicted.

Upon calming down, he interrupted the fight between Yoshi and Rukia Kuchiki. Using his doll, Ritz, he took control over Rukia's body and turned her against Orihime. With the unsuspected appearance of Shuhei Hisagi, however, he retreats.

Later, after coming to the soul society, his enhanced Ritz multiplied and began taking over the soul reapers, turning them against one another. After Soifon's men fall victim to this, she is stabbed in the back by a bitto. The poison begins working quickly, but she still manages to stab Mabashi with Suzemebachi. He then stays back and waits for her to die. Unbeknowest to him, Soifon used her Zanpakuto's posion to counteract the bitto's. Once he comes in to see her last dying breath, she stabs him a second time. This weakens him to the point where Ritz turns on him. He screams as he is being attacked, then disintegrates.

Doll
is Mabashi's doll. When sealed, she takes the form of a seed that hangs on Mabashi's necklace. When the seed is dropped onto the ground, it sprouts into a small, flower-like, mouse creature (that also somewhat resembles a miniature fox) that has the ability to possess others. The possession can be resisted to a small degree, as shown when Rukia was able to temporarily regain control over her body while possessed. Ritz is also capable of moving at lightning-fast speed and traveling through the ground. Ritz speaks like an elevator operator when moving, as she announces her direction before each move.
 * Enhanced Form: After going to Soul Society, Ritz gained the ability to make clones of herself, which she can use to attack and take control of large groups of people. Her ability to possess others also became more apparent due to the sudden darkening of the upper portion of the person(s) that her clones happen to be possessing at the time.
