summation

• Tenjiro Kirinji's natural and cool design matches his carefree personality and impressive physique.

• Kirio Hifune's vibrant designs and charming characters make her a joy to watch on screen.

• Ichibe Hyosube's unique appearance strikes a balance between an approachable old man and a bloodthirsty demon.

Squad 0 is an elite group of Soul Reapers, also commonly known as the Royal Guard, as they are the bodyguards of the Soul King himself. So while it may share some differences with the Gotei 13 in terms of appearance, writer Tite Kubo has gone to extreme lengths to make these incredibly powerful warrior units all stand out by providing eye-catching designs.

It already looked great in the original. bleach The Millennium Battle anime emphasized the striking appearance of these characters and even gifted them a few extra scenes to show their true form in battle. However, if you polish it based on appearance alone, the ranking of memorable members with zero expectations is as follows.

Kirinji Tenjiro

Tenjiro's laid-back, cool design suits his carefree personality.

• First appearance: Bleach TYBW Episode 8

Kubo has a knack for creating characters that look effortlessly cool, and Tenjiro is a prime example. Tenjiro, the healer of Unit 0, is always seen with a scowl on his face, a small chewing stick that never leaves his mouth, and an open jacket that reveals his impressive physique.

Another very striking aspect of his design is Tenjiro's hair. The hair extends forward like a sharp blade, then falls down at the ends, even reaching the sides of the face, creating pointed sideburns. Tenjiro's appearance isn't as flashy as his fellow Squad 0 members, but there's still a lot to like about this cool, calm, and collected Soul Reaper's appearance.

Hifune Kirio

Hifune's bright and vibrant design makes her a joy to see on screen.

• First appearance: Bleach TYBW Episode 8

Hifune technically has two designs. One is a design that can be seen on a larger frame and the other is one that makes her look slimmer. Both of these appearances see Hifune rocking her bright pink hair, which is her most distinctive feature, along with a black and white standard issue gown and a giant spoon that she carries with her wherever she goes. If you look closely, there are red swirls under her eyes, which actually change shape depending on what form Hifune is currently in.

Hifune's design may not have a lot of small details or features, but her vivid expressions and hair still present her as a compelling character that's fun to watch on screen.

3

Ichibe Hyosube

Ichibe's unique appearance strikes a balance between an approachable old man and a bloodthirsty demon.

• First appearance: Bleach TYBW Episode 8

Ichibe has a very attractive design that can make him look like a kind old man at one moment or a power-hungry demon at the next. His large, thick eyebrows and long, black beard already give him a very tricky presence, but Ichibe's wide eyes are one special aspect of his appearance that Kubo plays with throughout the series.

When the fight starts to get serious, Ichibe's black eyes disappear completely, transforming him into a completely terrifying ancient warrior with enough power to take down even the strongest of enemies, at least with the exception of Yhwach. At the same time, Ichibe wears a large set of red prayer beads around his neck to remind his fans how traditional he is and that he is not always as bloodthirsty as he sometimes appears when engaging in epic battles.

2

Oetsu Nimaiya

Oetsu modernizes the traditional Soul Reaper outfit, giving it a laid-back, sophisticated look.

• First appearance: Bleach TYBW Episode 8

Simply put, Oetsu is a character full of style. It's clear that he's a man who prioritizes his appearance, with the blue tint covering his eyes, the white padding modeled after the Soul Reaper uniform, and his finely cut black hair, which suits his dazzling character design perfectly. his personality.

Despite being around for a long time, Oetsu is known as the trendiest member of Squad 0, so it makes sense why he decided to go for a more modern iteration of the standard Soul Reaper look. There are very few Soul Reapers who share this kind of fashion sense with Oetsu, making him instantly recognizable and a real sight to see.

Senjumaru Shutara

Senjumaru's captivating and slightly creepy design reflects her role as an incredibly talented inventor.

• First appearance: Bleach TYBW Episode 8

Every time Senjumaru appears on screen, it's hard to look away considering how jaw-dropping her designs are. Since she is known as an inventor, Senjumaru's experimental designs fit her role on the team, especially the long golden arms that are always moving creepily behind her back. In fact, Senjumaru relies on his extra limbs so often that he can often be seen with his actual arms at his sides, and when paired with his sharp eyes and solemn expression, he looks very menacing. Minimum.

Sanjumaro also wears a large golden crescent-shaped ornament behind her head, which serves to subtly emphasize her royal status. Also, special mention needs to be made about Senjumaru's black and purple hair. This hair is very long on the sides, making it a rather unique style that really helps her stand out from other Soul Reapers. Senjumaru likes to unleash his creativity with his fashion sense, which thankfully results in some iconic looks that were featured a lot more in the Millennium Battle anime.
