I will agree on most of these. Chojiro was an utter waste of space whose past was shelved in at the last second to give Kubo something to work with, and I'm not please with that myself. You shouldn't reveal so much about a character whose been in the series for a decade post-mortem. It works if they're dead at the start, but still prominent like the Fourth Hokage. It'd be like if I died, and one of my friends at the funeral went "Aha always knew how to fly, but he never showed anyone because he was just like that". There are so many times Chojiro could have been useful in the series. Heck, if he was a strong as he was, why did Ichigo stomp him in a single blow?

Omaeda is just....I tend to forget he exists, but I will give him kudos for defending Mareyo like he did. I just wish he wasn't such a coward, he's supposed to be an assassin. Izuru and Isane are indeed rather bleugh in terms of personality, (on the note of Isane, who is really gonna refuse Unohana?) but I think Momo makes for something interesting, if only to show the effects that utter mindrape can have on a person after their idol has been crushed. She seemed to have idolised Aizen, and after probably half a century of that, it will take time to shake those feelings off.

Renji is borderline in with Ichigo's little group, so there's no real reason to nag about him. Tetsuzaemon...again, another one who I forget exists. He and Sajin could definitely use some more elaboration, especially since Tetsuzaemon seemed to have been in Ikkaku's squad for awhile, what's their story? Hisagi does indeed have problems for just trusting Tousen.

Rangiku...no. I saw the little discussion going on down here and...no. Capable fighter? This is the same Rangiku, right? I will admit her past with Gin and Isshin is interesting, but in the case of the former, it's never been touched upon since it was shown, what, three years ago? Hell, the way Kubo's drawn her, you'd believe she was meant to be eye candy, and some of the splash pages Kubo draws show he obviously enjoys showing Rangiku off, and her breasts wouldn't be shown off like they are if Kubo didn't intend for her to be eye candy as well.

Yachiru only seems to exist to be Kenny's morality pet, and Nemu was literally created to be a yes man to Mayuri.
