Yoruichi shihouin was the captain of 2nd divition of The Gotei 13. She is the head of the Shihouin family, one of the four noble families of Soul Society, and is the first female head of this family. Yoruichi was well-liked by her subordinates and was especially respected by SUI-FENG. However, Yoruichi was ousted from the 2nd Division and expelled from Soul Society for helping Kisuke Urahara and others escape, who were about to be expelled due to Aizen's conspiracy. At this time, Yoruichi silently left to avoid involving SUI-FENG, which deepened the rift between them.

In the story, Yoruichi appears as a black cat, and she can disguise herself as a cat. In the anime at the time, the black cat's voice was said to be male in japanese anime, so people thought Yoruichi was a man, but Ichigo and the viewers were probably surprised when a woman appeared when he released her transformation. Moreover, when he transformed, he was in his cat form, so he was not wearing any clothes, and Ichigo probably witnessed Yoruichi completely naked. (Ichigo is jealous...) Yoruichi seems to often make fun of others, to the point that Ichigo's behavior at those times is amusing to her. SUI-FENG was also a victim of Yoruichi's frequent teasing.

Yoruichi has a free-spirited personality like a cat, and despite being an aristocrat, she has bad eating manners. And she seems to only respect Genryusai Yamamoto. She probably developed this personality due to the hardships of her life as an aristocrat, and there are scenes where she often makes fun of Byakuya Kuchiki. Also, Yoruichi is a childhood friend of Kisuke Urahara, and although she complains about what Urahara says, she seems to listen to it a lot.

As a side note, Yoruichi seems to have gotten so used to the life of a cat that she sometimes eats cat food. The taste seems to be quite good.

Sexy woman!! I want to be her subordinate!!

About Yoruichi Shihouin Technique

Yoruichi Technique : Shunkou (瞬閃)

Yoruichi Shunkou
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

A combat form in which the highly concentrated "Kido" is wrapped around the body and exploded, driving the Kidou into the limbs and greatly amplifying its destructive power. When released, the clothes on both shoulders and back fly off, so the costumes of the users, including Yoruichi and SUI-FENG, are left open on both shoulders and back. This setting makes them fully sexy. (the author is a genius.)

Additionally, there are attributes that each person is good at depending on the user's spiritual pressure. In the story, it was stated that Yoruichi is good at lightning, SUI-FENG is good at wind, and Yushiro is good at fire.

The meaning of the kanji is "瞬" = moment, "閃" = flash, and when mixed with Yoruichi's high-speed movement, it is possible to achieve incredible speed. By the way, Yoruichi has Zanpakutou, and since she has served as a captain, she can use Bankai, but it is said that she is stronger when fighting with her bare hands, so there are no scenes in the work where she uses Zanpakutou.

Yoruichi's a special Soul Reaper to fight without using Zanpakutou.

She seems to have had a lot of training.

Yoruichi Technique : Shunkou・Raijinsenkei (瞬閧・雷獣戦形)

Something like the god of thunder's drum appears on its back, wraps it around its hand sword, and brings it down on the enemy. Part of his hair looks like cat ears. "Raijusenkei" meaning is "Thunder beast battle mode"

The God of Thunder is said to be one of the Japanese gods who controls thunder. In Japan, it is called Raijin(雷神). It is a god associated with Hujin, the god of wind.

Raijusenkei only appeared briefly in the story.

Yoruichi Technique : Shunkou・Raijusenkei Shunryu kokubyo senki (瞬閧・雷獣戦形 瞬霳黒猫戦姫)

Yoruichi Shunkou Raijinsenkei scene

(Quote : BLEACH manga)

Shunkou・Raijusenkei Shunryu kokubyo senki's meaning is Thunderous black cat battle princess.

The almost naked beast girl becomes covered in lightning. Yoruichi loses her rationality, loses the ability to speak, and becomes more moody. Her own reiatsu also becomes unstable due to the influence of her "mood", changing 48 times per second. Activated by Urahara's hands, only he can control it, and it can only be returned to normal if she feels like it. she hates this appearance, calling it "a half-hearted and creepy appearance."

As a side note, since Shunkou has attributes, it is said in the research community that the fighting style of SUI-FENG and Yushirou's Shunkou will be a style that specializes in each attribute, rather than lightning like Yoruichi.

Why doesn't Yoruichi have Zanpakutou & Shikai & Bankai?

Yoruichi Vs SUI-FENG

As mentioned earlier, in the battle with SUI-FENG, Yoruichi suddenly disappeared from the Gotei 13, which caused SUI-FENG to become enraged and initiate a battle. However, Yoruichi's sophisticated Shunkou defeated SUI-FENG and resulted in Yoruichi's victory. This scene was the one that cleared up their misunderstandings.

Yoruichi keep losing in other battles, but since most of them are very strong enemies or have a style of dealing large amounts of damage and connecting them to subsequent battles, I can't say that they are weak in general.

It's so-called "Tundere" right?

Yoruichi Vs Askin Nakk Le Vaar

Especially in the battle with Askin Nakk Le Vaar, Yoruichi's Shunkou・Raijusenkei Shunryu kokubyo senki overwhelmed Askin Nakk Le Vaar. However, Yoruichi left due to running out of stamina, and Askin Nakk Le Vaar's final form was decided to be fought by Kisuke Urahara. Although Yoruichi left the battle, he was able to drain Askin Nakk Le Vaar's stamina and force it into its final form, which was a great help to Kisuke Urahara.

In this instance, she used the Shunkou Raijinsenkei, which was more powerful than Yoruichi's Zanpakutō.

Yoruichi's Famous Saying & Poem


Red as blood

White as bone

Red as loneliness

White as silence

Red as the nerves of an animal

White as the heart of God

Red as melting hatred

White as frozen sorrow

Red as a shadow that eats the night

Like a breath that shoots through the moon

Shining white, scattering red (volume 17)

You can't catch up with me, the one who was called Shunshin "瞬神"(the God of speed), for another 100 years.
