Soul Reapers can only be seen by other spiritually aware beings, which excludes most humans. When asked which of the Court Guard Squad captains and assistant captains were his favorites, Tite Kubo answered by saying that he liked 'all of them' and that he likes to 'support' characters 'disliked by readers.' Early plans for the story did not include the hierarchical structure of the Soul Society, but did include Ichigo's Soul Reaper heritage. Seeing that guns are not suitable for kimono, he changed them to swords. Instead of using zanpakutР•РЊ, Kubo wanted to give the Soul Reapers guns, with the exception of Rukia, who would use a scythe. Several characteristics from them, such as the kidР•РЊ spells and the zanpakutР•РЊ swords are also based on Japanese literature. Before deciding the use of kimono, Kubo thought of giving black suits to male Soul Reapers and any forms to female Soul Reapers, but thought that it was too generic and changed it to a kimono. In the manga, the last antagonist is Yhwach who is the son of Soul King and father of Quincy.Р”В«leach was first conceived from Tite Kubo's desire to draw Shinigami ('Soul Reaper' in the English adaptations) in a kimono, which formed the basis for the design of the Soul Reapers. Eventually, the fifth Squad Captain SР•РЊsuke Aizen, the third Squad Captain Gin Ichimaru, and the ninth Squad Captain Kaname Tosen all defect from the Soul Society at the time of the rescue and start a plan, interrupting Ichigo's battles, to gain greater power with the arrancars, focusing the story with the main antagonist SР•РЊsuke Aizen. Ichigo and his friends go to save her and are forced to fight against many of the Soul Society's Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
