Kisuke Urahara is known for his flashy jinbei(A type of japanese clothes), geta(A type of japanese shoes), and hat, but he also has immeasurable knowledge and skills. Former captain of the 12th Division of The Thirteen Court Guard Squads and the first director of the Technology Development Bureau. He is currently the manager of Urahara store in this world. The Urahara store also operates a black market that supports Soul Reaper.

Kisuke's ability is extremely high. Hougyoku, which Aizen once used to invade Soul Society, was also developed by Kisuke, and Aizen considers him to be the only person whose brain can surpass his own. Yhwach also counted him as one of his special forces and was wary of Kisuke's many "methods." Kisuke works as a guard at a prison called a ``maggot nest'' where risk factors are imprisoned and monitored, and there were scenes where he dealt with rough-tempered prisoners with his bare hands. Soul Society's influence is so high that they release Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who was imprisoned in the "Maggot nest", and make her a member of the Technology Development Bureau.

In the story, Kisuke also teaches Ichigo how to fight, and when Ikkaku Madarame learns of this, he seriously prepares to fight Ichigo. He also helps the Hollow members who have turned into Hollows, and plays various roles in the story. Kisuke is also a childhood friend of Yoruichi Shihouin, and there are scenes where they get along very well.

Great work such as sealing away Aizen and creating medicine to stop Quincy from seizing Bankai!!

At first I thought he was a suspicious guy, but he's actually a very capable Soul Reaper.

Kisuke Urahara and his relationship with the Ichigo family

Kisuke also has deep ties to the Ichigo family. It goes without saying that it was Kisuke Urahara who trained Ichigo as a Shinigami. It is thanks to Kisuke Urahara's efforts that Ichigo is now able to communicate with Zanpakutou, learn Bankai, and control his Hollow's rampage. Furthermore, it was Kisuke who sent Ichigo to Soul Society to save Rukia, and he helps Ichigo in various ways.

The reason Kisuke cares so much about Ichigo is probably because he helped Ichigo's father, Isshin, in the past. Ichigo's father, Isshin, decides to leave his position in Soul Society and move to Karakura Town to save Ichigo's mother, Masaki Kurosaki. Kisuke provides Isshin with a human body (It name is "Gigai"). If you want to know how Isshin lived in Karakura Town, A story from when he was in Gotei13 and how Ichigo was born, check out the following article for more details.

Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin relationship

Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin get along very well and work well together. They are not in a romantic relationship, but are good colleagues at work, and in the TYBW Arc, Yoruichi delivers investigation reports for Kisuke to investigate Quincy's traces. Kisuke can also control the Yoruichi's Shinigami movement techniques, Shunkou Raijusenkei, which are the same attack methods as Shinigami's Bankai. When this technique is activated, Yoruichi loses her senses and becomes like a cat. Therefore, she needs a third party to control her, but due to Yoruichi's personality, she would want to leave it to the person she trusts the most. That person is Kisuke Urahara.

Yoruichi's Shunkou Raijinsenkei hasn't appeared in the anime yet so check out the manga!!

Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi relationship

The relationship between Kisuke Urahara and Kurotsuchi Mayuri could be described as rivalry. They both have amazing inventions, for example Kisuke's invention to seal Quincy's ability to steal Bankai and Kido's invention to seal Aizen, Mayuri's modified Bankai and superhuman drugs, etc. However, when Yhwach invaded Soul Society, Kisuke was counted on the Gotei13 special forces list, but Mayuri was not on that list. Aizen also recognizes Kisuke as the only person whose intelligence is greater than his, and for some reason Mayuri seems to view Kisuke as a rival.

Mayuri was originally imprisoned in a prison called Muken, which held those who had the potential to pose a danger to Soul Society in the future, but was freed by Kisuke and welcomed into the Technology Development Bureau. In other words, without Kisuke, Mayuri would have been incarcerated for so long, so somewhere in his heart, Mayuri may be grateful to Kisuke. if you want to know more about Mayuri, please check out the article below!!

Kisuke Urahara and Visored relationship(Shinji Hirako etc..)

In the past, Kisuke helped Shinji Hirako and others who had been given the power of Hollow by Aizen's schemes, and hid them in Karakura Town. Therefore, Kisuke was surprised at first when he saw Ichigo's Hollow, but he was able to calmly deal with it. It can be said that Kisuke was instrumental in helping the Shinigami who became Visored to control the power of Hollow. For more on the Visored, check out the article by Shinji Hirako, the captain of the Visored!!

About Kisuke Urahara Zanpakutou

Shikai:Benihime )紅姫)

Kisuke Urahara Shikai
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Kisuke's Zanpakutou's Shikai name is Benihime. Written in kanji ”紅姫”, it means "red princess", and it was a name often given to the daughter or queen of an emperor in ancient Japan, and also meant an elegant and beautiful woman. Trigger Command is ”Wake up Benihime(Okiro Benihime)”.

Usually, the sword Zanpakutou that is installed inside the staff allows blood to flow from the blade, and the blood can be used to attack or defend. There is not much explanation of this Shikai in the work, so I will introduce the technique in Bankai, which will be explained next.

Bankai : Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame(観音開紅姫改メ)

Kisuke Urahara Bankai

(Quote : BLEACH anime, First appearance Kisuke Urahara Bankai Episode 665)

The name of Bankai is "Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame" and the meaning is "Kannon(観音)" = A hinged door that opens from the center to the left and right, and is often used for things like altars to display Buddhist statues called Kannon Bodhisattva statues. ”Benihime(紅姫)” = Benihime, same as Shikai. "Aratame(改メ)" = means to change, and in Japan it is often added after the name of a robot or technique, and is used to mean upward compatibility with existing name.

When Bankai is activated, a woman with long hair wearing a kimono appears behind the user. This Bankai has the ability to reshape anything it touches. For example, even if she loses a part of her body, it will be possible to rebuild it and heal it. In the story, he fights by replacing Kisuke's eyes, which are no longer usable, and creating new ones. His face has what looks like painful suture marks, which seems to be proof that he has received Binihime's ability.

However, there is an effective range, and if it is outside the effective range, the effect of Benihime's ability will be lost.

Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakutou Techniques
NameEffect
Chigasumi no Tate(血霞の盾)Blood flows out from Benihime's scabbard, and It uses something like a shield to block enemy attacks.
Kamisori Benihime(剃刀紅姫)A technique that sends out sharp red slashes like a razor blade.
Tsuppane Benihime(突ッ撥紅姫)Match the timing of opponent's attack and hit it with the tip of Benihime's sword to offset the attack.
Shibari Benihime(縛り紅姫)A technique that binds the opponent with a net of black string that comes out from the tip of the sword.
Hiasobi Benihime Judutunagi(火遊紅姫 数珠繫)A technique that generates a black sphere on top of the net created by Shibari Benihime, explodes the sphere, and attacks the enemy.
Kisuke Urahara's Techniques
Shibire Yubi(しびれ指)Paralyze the opponent's body with just a touch of user finger
Shitone Gaeshi(褥返し)Subduing the opponent with a staff and coercive spiritual pressure
Kisuke Urahara's Kido
Husatsu Kakei(封殺火刑)A demon-like technique developed by Urahara. A technique that blocks the Reiatsu outlet on both wrists of the Grim Reaper, and burns the opponent from the inside with the Reiatsu that can no longer be released.
Kyuju Rokkei Kaka Humetsu(九十六京火架封滅)The technique that finally sealed Aizen Sosuke
Hado #32 Oukasen(黄火閃)Can be used as a blinder. Releases yellow spiritual pressure at the opponent.
Hado #91 Senjukoutentaihou(千手皎天汰炮)Countless elongated triangular arrows of light rain down.
Bakudo #61 Rikujo Kourou(六杖光牢)Six lights surround and pierce the opponent's torso, blocking their movements.
Bakudo #63 Sajo sabaku(鎖条鎖縛)A technique in which a thick chain wraps around the body like a snake, robbing the body of its freedom.
Bakudo #79 Kuyou Shibari(九曜縛)Binds the opponent by releasing eight black orb-like objects vertically around the enemy and one near the chest.

Kisuke and Kido can also use 90s, so it seems like they have quite strong reiatsu and delicate control.

I was moved by the scenes where Kido was used a lot.

What is Kisuke Urahara Battle Record?

Kisuke Urahara's Battle Record
OpponentsResults
VS Sousuke AizenSucceeded in sealing
VS Askin Nakk Le VaarWIN

Kisuke Urahara's Battle Record is 1 Win, and succeeded in sealing. In the story, Kisuke plays a major role, but there are few battle scenes, and he often plays an active role by sharing support from those around him and important weaknesses of their opponent with Soul Reaper. Therefore, the battle of Askin Nakk Le Vaar, where he fights for the first time, is a must-see.

Kisuke Urahara VS Sousuke Aizen

Aizen sealed by kisuke urahara
Kisuke Urahara and Sousuke Aizen fought each other directly in the Fake Karakura Town Arc. Kisuke has a history with Aizen, as he was falsely accused and kicked out of Soul Society by Aizen 100 years ago. Aizen's Zanpakutou and Kido abilities overwhelmed Kisuke and his allies, and they were unable to land a single hit. However, Ichigo used his final Bankai to weaken Aizen, and Kisuke Urahara used Kido to seal Aizen, successfully sealing him away.

The Kido used at that time was Kyujurokkeikakafumetsu(九十六京火架封滅). This is an improved version of Kido's Hado 91 Senjukoutentaihou, which Kisuke Urahara is good at, and it was activated when Aizen was extremely weakened, and he was successfully sealed away after fusing with Hougyoku and becoming a being close to a god.

The fight between Kisuke Urahara and Askin Nakk Le Vaar showed Kisuke's versatility. First, he released Yoruichi Shihouin's limiter and cornered Askin into his final form, then Kisuke used his own Bankai, Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame, to counter Askin's powers, and finally won with the help of the Hollows Grimmjow and Nelliel.
