Ganryū

was the evil leader of the Dark Ones and also the main antagonist of Bleach: Memories of Nobody. He was a shinigami exiled to the Valley of Screams for heinous crimes. He plotted revenge against the Soul Society by collapsing the Human world and the Soul Society by further opening the rift between the two through the Valley of Screams. The device to do such required the Memory Rosary, which Ganryū found. Ichigo was able to stop his plan and save the dimensions.

Appearance
Ganryū wears the same form of armor the other Dark One's wear, only with gold bordering on his as opposed to red. He also wears a long black cape, with a red interior, and what looks like extra gold frill from his waist, connected to his red belt like sash. He also has a scar from his forehead, down to the corner of his left eye. Interestingly, his eyes are purple.

Memories of Nobody
Ganryū was first seen by Kon, along with Jai and Mue, within the sudden mass of Blanks roaming Karakura Town. His face was not shown, and he, along with his subordinates, vanished. Ganryū commissioned the order to summon Senna later that day -by force if necessary- sending Jai to be her escort. He was the last Dark One to be seen after their second kidnapping attempt, watching the battles unfold in front of him. Senna attacked him first in an attempt to stop the attack, but he easily incapacitated her. He also took care of Ichigo Kurosaki easily by extending his spear to impale him, despite the latter using his Bankai. When Captain Jūshirō Ukitake exclaimed that Ganryū and the others had armor belonging to the banished clan: The Fallen House of Ryōdoji. However, he claimed to have no knowledge of the clan, stating they were from The Clan of Darkness, the Dark Ones. In the Valley of Screams, the Dark Ones tie Senna to a sort of windmill apparutus, serving as the focal point for the Blanks; Ganryū explains to her that 1000 years ago, the Soul Society exiled them to the Dangai Precipice World. They survived by evading the restrictive current, which swallows everything that touches it. There they discovered the souls that evaded transmigration, and turned into wandering ghosts in the Dangai. The Dark Ones learned to use them as an energy source for their own power. The # of souls is always constant, and when these Blanks reach a certain # they are naturally drawn together in the Valley of Screams.
