Special Duties
No special duties have been noted for the 8th Division. However, according to Shūhei Hisagi during an omake chapter, the 8th Division always turns in their reports on time, demonstrating the 8th Division's reliability. It is highly implied that the Division's speciality is dual hand swordmanship, as both the Captain of the Division and it's former Lieutenat are ambidextrous. The current Lieutenat, Nanao Ise, was not seen fighting yet.
