What kind of person is Kaien Shiba?

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Kaien Shiba is a male Soul Reaper who is the vice-captain of the 13th Squad. Isshin Shiba is Kaien's nephew and Kukaku and Ganju are Kaien's brothers. Kaien is a talented individual who passed the entrance exam for Soul Reaper's school, Reijutsuin, on the first try. He graduated just two years later and was scouted by Ukitake, the squad leader at the time, to join the 13th Squad . After joining the 13th Division, Ukitake offered him a promotion to deputy captain, but he continued to decline. However, five years later, he becomes the vice captain and assumes the role of managing the squad in place of Ukitake, who was in poor health.

When Rukia is adopted by the Kuchiki family and assigned to the 13th Division, the people around her feel jealous and fearful towards Rukia, who was adopted by a prestigious noble family just by luck, but Kaien treats Rukia normally. Because of this, she was able to open up to the 13th Squad quickly. Kaien was trusted by those around him, and Rukia treated him as a reliable boss, and even helped Rukia with special training in techniques.

Kaien's wife, Miyako Shiba, was killed by a Hollow, so Kaien goes to take revenge, but his body is taken over by the Hollow, Metastasia, and he is killed by Rukia. Kaien's body was in an irreparable state. The only option left was to kill Kaien to prevent him from turning into a Hollow and attacking people. He expresses his gratitude to Rukia for stopping him from being possessed by Hollow, but this ends up instilling tremendous trauma in Rukia.

Kaien's immediate family, Kukaku and Ganju, were very sad, and so was Rukia. Kaien's uncle Isshin Shiba was very concerned about it.

However, Rukia will be reunited with Kaien Shiba in Arrancer Arc. Metastasia, who was revived in Hueco Mundo, the world where Hollow lives, was taken in by Aaroniero Arruruerie, one of the Espada who possessed high combat ability, and Aaroniero Arruruerie came to possess the abilities and memories of Kaien Shiba's Zanpakutou. When Rukia enters Hueco Mundo, Maybe it's fate, but she ends up fighting Aaroniero Arruruerie.

(Quote : BLEACH anime Kaien appearance Aaroniero Arruruerie)

Rukia once lost the will to fight when Aaroniero Arruruerie appeared in the form of her own boss, but Kaien Shiba's last words, "I will leave my heart to my friends," made Rukia rise again and decide to defeat Aaroniero Arruruerie. Successful.

Kaien is a Soul Reaper who was talented but died too soon.

What is Kaien Shiba Battle Record?

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Kaien Shiba's Battle Record is 3 lose. Although Kaien is talented, his record was not good.

Metastasia caught me by surprise and I lost, and Rukia defeated me twice. The first time, I instilled trauma in Rukia, but the second time, I made Rukia stronger.

By the way, Kaien's uncle Isshin Shiba was worried when he heard about Kaien and Rukia, but when Rukia and Abarai got married, he gave them a gift of congratulations.
