Mue

is the pale-skinned member of the Dark Ones. He first appears in Bleach: Memories of Nobody when he, along with the rest of the Dark Ones (except for their leader Ganryū) attempt to capture Senna in a cemetery, but they all retreat as soon as Ichigo Kurosaki arrives. Later, when the Dark Ones ambush the Shinigami sent to retrieve the Memory Rosary, he is seen stalling Captain Jūshirō Ukitake until Ganryū successfully retrieves the Memory Rosary. Later, when Ichigo breaks into the Valley of Screams to save Senna, he, along with the rest of the Dark Ones, attempts to stop him, but is interrupted when Kenpachi Zaraki (and his lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajishi) jumps into the middle of their battlefield. He later tries to kill Kenpachi with shuriken-like weapons, but they prove useless (especially when Kenpachi catches one and throws it back in his direction). He attempts to run from Kenpachi (and Yachiru), but it proves useless and he attempts to fight him, which ultimately ends with Kenpachi killing him with little effort.

Personality
As the first movie revolved almost entirely around Senna, the deuteragonist of the film, the Dark Ones all received little character development. As such, both Mue and the other Dark Ones were viewed as "expendable, cliched bad guys" by fans and critics alike. Out of all the qualities shown, Mue appeared to be proud, overconfident, cowardly and arrogant.

History
The Dark Ones were once a part of the Fallen House of Ryōdoji, exiled 1000 years ago to the Dangai Precipice World. Amazingly, the group somehow managed to avoid the deadly current flowing through the entire Dangai, and resided there for many years. It was in this world that Mue, along with the rest of the clan, discovered the souls that evaded transmigration and turned into wandering ghosts: The Blanks. The Dark Ones learned to harness the Blanks as an energy source for their own power learning all the information there is about Blanks, and formulated a plan for revenge against Soul Society. Some time before the events of the film take place, Mue's clan came to the Valley of Screams where they continued to reside.

Powers and Abilities
Blank Manipulation: Like all of the Dark Ones, Mue could manipulate the Blanks for various purposes. Strangely he was the only member to not demonstrate the ability.

Projectile/Close-Combat Weapons Expert: Since he was killed with little effort by Kenpachi, much of his powers are a mystery. What is worth noting is that he has at least enough power to slash a wound across Kenpachi, who is renowned as an incredibly difficult entity to even wound, and was able to hold off Captain Ukitake for a short amount of time. Mue was seen using shuriken effectively as well, along with various blades.

Flash Steps Expert: Mue was shown being able to use Shunpo quite well, moving slightly faster than Lieutenant Yachiru.

Large Arsenal: Mue has displayed a variety of arsenal in his disposal, including a broadsword from which a thinner sword can be drawn; this thin sword that can separate as projectiles and a whip-like weapon with a hook at the end that can catch an opponent's sword and transmit a spark to produce an explosion.
