Kisuke Urahara

Personality:   At first glance, Urahara presents himself as a carefree and easygoing individual, often seen wearing a cheerful smile. He exudes a sense of playfulness, frequently teasing and engaging in banter with those around him. Urahara possesses a sharp wit and a knack for clever wordplay, which adds to his charming personality. His light-hearted nature allows him to adapt effortlessly to any situation, diffusing tension and creating a relaxed atmosphere wherever he goes. However, beneath Urahara's cheerful exterior lies a profound intellect and a deep understanding of the spiritual world. As the former captain of the 12th Division of the Soul Society and the founder of the research and development institute known as the "Technological Development Bureau," Urahara is a master scientist and inventor. He is responsible for creating numerous advanced gadgets, such as the Gigai (an artificial body), modified soul-sensing devices, and the iconic Zanpakuto, known as Benihime. Urahara's intellect is matched by his exceptional strategic thinking and analytical skills. He possesses a keen sense of observation, enabling him to accurately assess and analyze situations, even in the midst of chaos. This ability allows him to formulate effective plans and make quick decisions, making him an invaluable ally and resourceful tactician. One of Urahara's most remarkable traits is his resourcefulness and adaptability. When faced with challenges or obstacles, he approaches them with a combination of creativity and pragmatism. Urahara is adept at improvisation, often using unconventional methods and thinking outside the box to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. His ability to adapt and adjust his plans on the fly makes him an unpredictable and formidable opponent. Urahara is also known for his enigmatic and mysterious nature. He often conceals his true intentions and motivations, keeping others guessing about his actions and alliances. Despite his playful demeanor, Urahara possesses a strong sense of responsibility and loyalty, particularly towards those he cares about. He is willing to go to great lengths to protect his friends and loved ones, and his actions are guided by a deep-rooted desire to maintain balance and ensure the greater good. Underneath his playful façade, Urahara harbors a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. He has a profound understanding of the complex nature of the spiritual world and the intricate web of relationships that govern it. Urahara's wisdom extends beyond his own experiences, as he possesses a vast knowledge of history, ancient artifacts, and spiritual lore. He is a trusted advisor, often sought out for his insights and guidance, and he willingly imparts his knowledge to those who are willing to learn. Despite his many strengths, Urahara is not without flaws. He can be somewhat aloof and detached, often keeping his emotions hidden beneath a mask of indifference. This emotional distance is likely a result of his past experiences and the burdens he carries. However, when confronted with genuine moments of vulnerability or when the well-being of those he cares about is at stake, Urahara's true emotions shine through, revealing his compassionate and caring nature. Urahara's enigmatic nature extends beyond his personality and seeps into his physical appearance as well. With his bright green eyes that seem to hold hidden depths of knowledge and a perpetual smirk on his face, he exudes an aura of mystery. His trademark green and white hat, pulled low over his eyes, adds an air of secrecy, making him instantly recognizable. Urahara's attire is a unique blend of traditional and modern elements. He often dons a black, loose-fitting kimono with intricate patterns, emphasizing his connection to the Soul Society and its ancient traditions. His geta sandals, combined with his casual posture, give him a laid-back and nonchalant appearance, further reinforcing his relaxed demeanor. Underneath his easygoing exterior, Urahara carries the weight of his past and the mistakes he has made. As a former captain of the Gotei 13, he was involved in a controversial incident that led to his exile from the Soul Society. Despite this setback, Urahara remains resilient and determined, never allowing his past to define him or hinder his progress. Urahara's resilience is matched by his unwavering loyalty to his friends and comrades. He values the bonds he forms with others, often going to great lengths to protect and support them. His deep sense of loyalty is exemplified by his relationship with Yoruichi Shihōin, his childhood friend and trusted ally. Urahara's loyalty extends to his subordinates as well, as he creates a close-knit team within his Technological Development Bureau, fostering an environment of trust and camaraderie. While Urahara is generally portrayed as a calm and composed individual, he possesses a fiery and determined spirit when confronted with injustice or threats to the balance of the spiritual world. He is not one to shy away from a battle, willingly putting himself in harm's way to protect others or achieve his goals. Urahara's combat prowess is remarkable, showcasing his proficiency in swordsmanship and his mastery of various high-level techniques. Despite his relaxed demeanor, he possesses a powerful presence that demands respect from both allies and adversaries alike. Urahara's complex persona is further enriched by his philosophical outlook on life and the nature of existence. He often contemplates the meaning of power, the delicate balance between good and evil, and the consequences of one's actions. Urahara's introspective nature allows him to offer insightful observations and guidance to those seeking answers or grappling with their own inner turmoil. Urahara can usually be found near the scene of an important event, but he rarely intervenes in situations, preferring to stay on the sidelines. He often knows more information than he lets on, and despite being a major player in the situation, he acts only as a catalyst, having others do the work for him. Urahara is often manipulative, tricking people into doing what he wants them to. He likes building large secret underground training spaces. Kisuke is a pragmatic combatant, believing that using any means necessary in a life-and-death battle is essential in victory and survival, such as forming an alliance with Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez beforehand to defeat Askin Nakk Le Vaar via a sneak attack from behind. Though usually a laid-back, optimistic, jovial, humble and eccentric man, Urahara shows a deceptively cunning and serious side when the situation warrants it. He commonly uses idle conversation and outward concern to distract his opponents. Despite his care-free attitude, he always speaks politely, but is sometimes sarcastic. Yoruichi Shihōin notes he tends to go over the top with whatever he becomes passionate about. He has described himself as a "mere honest, handsome, perverted businessman." Shikai: Benihime's Shikai command is "Awaken" (起きろ, okiro; Viz "Wake up"). Its Shikai takes the form of a sleek, medium-sized sword. The hilt's grip, which has a gentle black-decorative wrapping, bends forward at the end, with a pommel shaped overlap three times, and a crimson tassel dangling from its base. Instead of a tsuba, there is a U-shape guard covering three inches of the blade, with a flower petal design. At the base of the guard is a red string wrapped thrice around the hilt, with a three-loop bow on the back side and a folded paper decoration on the front side. The blades' hamon is straight, colored black with a silver edge, and is somewhat thicker than the cane-sealed state. It remains straight and slim with a somewhat short size, with the tip ending in a slanted razor-like edge instead of tapering to a point. Shikai Special Ability: Benihime is capable of producing and manipulating a crimson-colored energy to perform a variety of techniques. Urahara can use these techniques by declaring the proper verbal command that corresponds to Benihime's different abilities. Nake, Benihime (啼け紅姫, Sing, Crimson Princess; "Scream" in the English dub): This technique fires particularly strong and destructive crimson-colored energy blasts. The energy flows out of the blade and fires in the arc of the sword's swing. The technique is capable of taking on a point-blank Cero from an Espada-level Arrancar by dissipating it with a blast of equal power.He can charge up this technique to deal considerably more damage. Chikasumi no Tate (血霞の盾, Blood Mist Shield): This technique forms a hexagon-shaped crimson barrier in front of the blade for defensive purposes. The barrier is called out with the same command as the "Nake" technique. The barrier can easily block a direct punch from the immensely strong Yammy Llargo without any damage or repercussions to Urahara, and block Ichigo's first use of his "Getsuga Tenshō" while only slightly eroding, after which Urahara states he would have lost an arm were it not for the shield. Kamisori, Benihime (剃刀紅姫, Razor, Crimson Princess): A technique which fires an energy arc capable of cutting through materials and substances with relative ease. This arc moves towards the target and can instantly change direction. It cut through a Hierro-protected tentacle of Luppi Antenor. Tsuppane, Benihime (突ッ撥紅姫, Spurning, Crimson Princess): After analyzing a technique's Reishi composition and the subject's muscle movements when they use the technique, by simply drawing a circle of energy with the edge of Benihime and timing it right, this technique can cancel out the enemy's attack at the point of contact. Shibari, Benihime (縛り紅姫, Crimson Princess of Binding): This technique launches condensed energy in the form of a tangible blood red net, generated from the blade length, and simply throws it over the intended target (typically from above) with a simple slashing motion from Benihime. The net further binds and restricts an opponent’s movements by constricting to its form. This net appears elongated and somewhat narrow. Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi (火遊 紅姫 数珠繋, Fire-Playing Crimson Princess Beaded Mesh): After using the Shibari technique, Urahara stabs the net with the tip of Benihime, creating orbs of fire along the outside length of the net, which explode like linked land-mines in a domino formation, leading toward the target bound under the net. When the orbs come into direct contact with the intended target, they create a tremendously large and devastating explosion. Bankai: Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame (観音開紅姫改メ, Modification of the Crimson Princess' Dissection at the Doors of Avalokiteśvara; Viz "Opened Red Princess Neo"): Urahara's Bankai takes the form of a giant woman with dark, braided hair arranged in loops on her head and mannequin-like arms who wears a revealing red robe ] while Urahara himself retains his sealed sword for combat. Urahara learned Bankai in three days using the Tenshintai he created. When Yasutora Sado comes to him for training, Urahara states that Sado needs to fight against the power of a Bankai to improve and assigns Renji Abarai to fight him, saying that his own Bankai is not fit for training or helping others. Bankai Special Ability: Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame has the ability to restructure anything it touches for both offensive and supportive purposes. Offensively, it can split open whatever is within its area of effect as if cutting with a knife. This "splitting" is similar to the act of dissecting something by cutting it open. Supportively, it can restructure something by stitching it back together; this can be used as a form of healing, such as when Urahara restored his eyes using this power. It also can be used as a way to bring something to an optimal working state by enhancing it, which Urahara used to overpower Askin Nakk Le Vaar by restructuring his arm to have greater strength. All uses of this are manifested in the form of cutting said objects into parts and then using stitches to sew the pieces back together. With it, Urahara can also create a path for others to move through obstacles or barriers.
