I'm posting this here not because it's an amusing chat conversation, but because a friend and I just took the time to figure this out. I don't want to forget the next time I'm trying to keep track of everyone in Bleach.
Gungadin, 12:09:06 AM:
Hey, what happened to Yamamoto, anyway?
Lorie, 12:09:35 AM:
He...I don't remember.
Lorie, 12:10:17 AM:
When was the last time we saw him? When he was burning Halibel's fraccion? Or at least, their weird chimera.
Gungadin, 12:11:21 AM:
Didn't he get upset about Ukitaki getting stabbed through the chest by Wonderweiss and then have a conversation with Shinji when the Vizards showed up?
Gungadin, 12:11:44 AM:
Ukitake, rather. Like I know how it's spelled. Pfft.
Lorie, 12:13:35 AM:
You're right. I remember him talking to Shinji now. But what is he doing now? Just hanging out while the young whippersnappers do their thing?
Gungadin, 12:15:13 AM:
Maybe looking after Ukitake? Hard to say. And where's his Lieutenant? Did he go back outside the barrier to chill, or something?
Lorie, 12:16:09 AM:
I think that's a sign you're working with too many characters when people lose track of where they all are.
Gungadin, 12:19:29 AM:
Okay, let's figure this out, then. Let's start with the Gotai 13 and go through the squads in order.
Yamamoto is around there somewhere, but we don't know what he's doing exactly. His lieutenant, I guess, went back outside the barrier?
Lorie, 12:20:13 AM:
Soi Fon and Oomaeda are account for in the fight.
Gungadin, 12:20:39 AM:
Squad 3 - Gin's with Aizen, Kira's tending to the lieutenants who got hurt fighting Allon.
Lorie, 12:20:57 AM:
4th - Unohana just showed up and Isane...has Isane ever been a part of the fight?
Lorie, 12:21:09 AM:
Or wait, no, she's in Hueco Mundo.
Gungadin, 12:21:09 AM:
Isane's in Hueco Mundo, isn't she?
Gungadin, 12:21:29 AM:
Yeah.
Squad 5 - Aizen's Aizen, and Hinamori got beat up by Allon.
Lorie, 12:21:43 AM:
Squad 6 - Hueco Mundo
Gungadin, 12:22:13 AM:
Squad 7 - Komamura's fighting Aizen, Iba's down for the count after being beat up by Allon.
Lorie, 12:22:50 AM:
Squad 8 - Shunsui is fighting and Nanao hasn't shown up since the fight started, has she?
Gungadin, 12:24:16 AM:
Was she even there then? I don't even recall seeing her at the start...
Squad 9 - Tosen just bit the big one, and Hisagi is, I guess, recovering from his wounds while sitting next to Tosen's corpse.
Lorie, 12:25:44 AM:
I meant when the entire fight in fake Karakura started, not just the most recent fight. I would agree that Nanao has never been there.
Tenth - Hitsugaya just called out his ice dragon and Matsumoto may or may not still have a chunk missing from her side.
Gungadin, 12:28:04 AM:
I wonder where Nanao is, then. Did she stay behind, maybe?
Squad 11 - Kenpachi is fighting Yammy, Yachiru is (I assume) watching, Ikkaku is apparently recovering after being beat down by Poww, and Yumichika is... watching him recover?
Lorie, 12:29:34 AM:
Probably. Has Nanao ever been shown fighting? I can just picture her carrying that book. Maybe she became a lieutenant for her administrative abilities.
Or is Yumichika still knocked out from when Kira hit him with shinten for being insubordinate?
12th is doing freaky science stuff in Hueco Mundo.
Gungadin, 12:33:20 AM:
Oh, that's true. I forgot Yumichika got knocked out. And the only time Nanao ever did anything that I can remember being aggressive was after Kyoraku beat Chad and they learned that Aizen was "murdered." Kyoraku was going to leave and Nanao offered to finished Chad off and her fist started glowing before Kyoraku stopped her. I'm guessing that was kido, though.
13 - Ukitake had a hole in his chest from Wonderweiss and his 2 almost-lieutenants are nowhere to be seen. I presume they're back in Soul Society?
Oh, and Rukia's in a pile on the ground at Yammy's feet in Hueco Mundo.
Lorie, 12:34:15 AM:
Maybe they're hanging out with Nanao. Overall, though, not a banner day for the 13th division.
Gungadin, 12:36:34 AM:
Not really, no.
Let's see, what else is there...
The Vizards.
Shinji, Love, Rose, and Lisa are all fighting Aizen.
Kensei is fighting Wonderweiss while holding Mashiro under one arm,
And Hacchi is creating a barrier around Hiyori... or, you know, two barriers.
Lorie, 12:37:46 AM:
Heh. Two barriers. I feel bad for laughing at the idea.
Lorie, 12:38:27 AM:
Orihime is on the dome of Las Noches collecting Ulquiorra dust in a bucket so she can resurrect him.
Uryuu is inspecting his stump.
And Chad is saying, "Hm."
Gungadin, 12:40:29 AM:
Right. And Urahara, Yoruichi, and Tessai are... uh...
Lorie, 12:40:39 AM:
Hmm...that's a very good question.
Gungadin, 12:42:16 AM:
Maybe they're out getting drunk, who knows.
Lorie, 12:42:49 AM:
Or maybe they're hiding in the shadows and waiting for a good moment to make a dramatic entrance.
Gungadin, 1/25/2010 12:47:16 AM:
Or they're working to re-open the gate to Hueco Mundo so Kenpachi, Yachiru, Kurotsuchi, Nemu,Byakuya, Renji, Kotetsu, Hanataru, Rukia, Chad, Orihime, and Ishida can come back.
(did I get them all?)
Lorie, 12:47:46 AM:
Yeah, that looks like the complete list. I had forgotten Hanatarou was there.
Gungadin, 1/25/2010 12:51:06 AM:
I did, too, until we got to about squad 13.
Also, whatever happened to Nel? I mean, after she reverted to baby form and got kicked by Nnoitra, she pretty much passed out, right? And when she awoke, Orihime had already been kidnapped by Starrk and Ichigo, Kenpachi, and Yachiru probably already took off after him, so she probably woke up alone.
Lorie, 12:51:45 AM:
Maybe Pesche and Dondachakka found her and they'll all playing tag right now.
