Narunosuke

Narunosuke is a Tōjū that appears during the anime's Beast Swords arc.

Appearance
He appeared as a thin young man with short indigo hair and purple eyes. His upper body is bear except for a plate of white and gold armor on his left shoulder and the left part of his chest and upper back. The plate protrudes up to protect his neck. He has a black snake bracelet around his left arm and wears an exomis tied over his left shoulder and decorated with a dark red sash at his waist.

Personality
Narunosuke was a friendly and bashful Zanpakutō. He belonged to a cowardly Shinigami, and that trait was passed on to him as well. When the Gotei 13 began hunting the Tōjū, he had to join a group of Tōjū to find safety in numbers, but he kept his sanity, unlike his comrades.

Haineko finds the injured Narunosuke lying in a field of red Spider Lilies. Haineko tries to kill him, but she is mesmerized by his beauty and spares his life. She later treats his injuries in a hut near where she found him. Haineko unsuccessfully tries to convince Matsumoto not to treat him as a Tōjū. When Narunosuke asks about this, Haineko tells him that Matsumoto is trying to convince her boss. After a couple of days, Narunosuke becomes anxious, and Haineko is forced to admit the truth to him. Suffering from violent migraines which grow more and more severe, Narunosuke becomes a Tōjū and attacks Matsumoto and Haineko. Haineko envelopes herself and Narunosuke in her Shikai and kills him.
