The 1st division is more exciting than meets the eye. Absolutely! Also, once a month, the captain organizes a tea party for the whole division.
Frank talk!! with the 9th division lieutenant, Hisagi Shuuhei
Since the captain who leads the 1st division is the Head Captain, Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni, your first thought might be that this division is too hard for you. But actually, the captain throws a tea party once a month, and they hold really creative events in the lieutenant's English-style classroom, and it's a lot of fun! Plus, the 1st division is near the bath house, and lately the newspaper's been doing a feature on stone saunas, which they also have. So for those of you who want to get stronger but don't want to get worn out, this is the division for you!
The 2nd Division
((There are two illustrations. Soifon drew a long-legged black cat, with the title "Yoruichi-sama" by its head. The second one, drawn by Oomaeda, is a picture of himself jabbing his finger at the viewer. He has a speech bubble reading, "I'm waiting!! And Yoruichi-sama has nothing to do with our division!"))
Soifon
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
Nothing special.
2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?

2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?
Thanks to me, every room in our division office has heated floors, every door opens and shuts automatically, and there's no heat loss! Isn't that awesome!
3. What do you require of new recruits?
No one who's going to complain all the time, no noisy guys, and no one who doesn't work!
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.
I might even invite you guys to my mansion sometimes.
Frank talk!! with the 4th division lieutenant, Kotetsu Isane
Well, if it's about the 2nd division, they're most famous for their division offices undergoing remodeling after remodeling, and now the building is amazingly luxurious. Lately, there have even been stories that part of the training room under the division offices have been remodeled to dig out a hot spring. I definitely want one of those for the 4th division.
The 3rd Division
((No illustrations. This poster contains a haiku, signed by "Izuru" and apparently titled "Wait." One might translate it as: "The honorable / division enlistment fair / honorable enlistment." This would be extremely loose, not sticking to form, and contain three times fewer "honorables" than are actually in the poem. It may or may not actually be in Chinese, although the other poem we've seen from him is in Japanese.))
Ichimaru Gin
*No reply, as his whereabouts are unknown.
Kira Izuru
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
People who don't lie.
2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?
I wonder. Lately I've been alone a lot, so....
3. What do you require of new recruits?
That they not lie.
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.
Even if you come, Captain Ichimaru won't be here.
Frank talk!! with the 6th division lieutenant, Abarai Renji
Since that incident, Kira's seemed pretty down. Well, it's pretty hopeless... Hey, any of you guys who'd think, "Anything's fine! I just want to be helpful to Lieutenant Kira!" -- join here!!
Good luck, Kira!!!
The 4th Division
((An illustration of Unohana, done in old Japanese style, drawn by herself and signed with a seal of her name, Retsu. The text alongside her reads, "Everyone be friendly."))
Unohana Retsu

I don't mind whatever kind of person wants to join.
2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?
It's really a very harmonious environment, don't you think?
3. What do you require of new recruits?
People who are kidou specialists would be good, yes.
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.
I will be waiting to meet you.
Kotetsu Isane
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
We're not particularly picky.
2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?
Since we double as the infirmary, we get a lot of people coming in and out who need to be hospitalized or treated medically, so I think that gives us kind of a unique atmosphere, a little different than other divisions.
3. What do you require of new recruits?
I need to have requirements?! Even just one person is fine, but if a lot of people join it would really be a big help.
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.
Let's try our best together! Also, once a month, the captain organizes an ikebana showing!
Frank talk!! with the 13th division's third seat, Kotetsu Kiyone
Neesan's division is sooo busy! Sometimes I go there to pick up Captain Ukitake's medicine, and I get the feeling that everyone is working hard with no rest! And Captain Unohana-- ahhh, if you see her get angry it's pretty scary! --That's what Neesan said, anyway.
((trans. note: "Neesan" is a name for one's older sister, in case you're unaware.))
The 5th Division
((An illustration of Aizen, drawn by Hinamori, in a sketchy Japanese, almost shoujo style, with a watermark "Mo". He's saying, "Everyone, I'm waiting for you."))
Aizen Sousuke
*No reply, as his whereabouts are unknown.
Hinamori Momo
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
Enthusiastic people.
2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?
The captain is gone and there are still a lot of days when I have to stay in bed, but essentially it's a very peaceful division with a wonderful atmosphere.
3. What do you require of new recruits?
People who wouldn't betray anyone...
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.

The 6th division, huh...? Their captain seems well, I'm a little jealous. It's a good place, isn't it, the 6th division. And there's a captain, too. And Abarai-kun... We have good memories together, he's a really good guy. Not that bright, though.
The 7th Division
((Two illustrations. Drawn by Komamura, an extremely awkward sketch of what seems to be him, and drawn by Iba, a cartoonish wolf, winking and giving a thumb's up. The text reads, "We're waiting."))
Komamura Sajin
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
Men who overflow with devotion.

Since Tetsuzaemon gathered all these men together, and he says that we have a good atmosphere, I would think that it's good.

Only girls are allowed. ♥
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.
Boys can go join some other division, but girls should come join the 8th division. ♥ Once a week we have a drinking party, too.
Ise Nanao
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
People who do their work to the letter.
2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?
An orderly and serious division.
3. What do you require of new recruits?
You are not allowed to drink alcohol, and of course both men and women may inquire.
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.
I'll be waiting to hear from you. By the way, we do not have drinking parties.
Frank talk!! with the 10th division's lieutenant, Matsumoto Rangiku
Nanao is reeeally strict. Anyone else who's strict shouldn't join. The 8th division has a captain full of mature charm, and a sexy lieutenant, so it's really exciting~! Everyone, come and play sometime. ♥
The 9th Division
((The illustration is a skilled sketch of Shuuhei walking in a crowd of shinigami. It reads: "Me, when I was just joining the 13 Protection Divisions. I had already decided what division I wanted to enlist in, so I was excited and cut my hair, but I cut it too short, like a schoolboy's haircut. I've changed a great deal since then. And now I have become the lieutenant of the 9th division. Everyone, together let's do our best!" Shuuhei seems to have done both the writing and the drawing.))

Our captain isn't here, but don't worry! My dedication to protecting the 9th division hasn't changed. Right now I'm focusing all my efforts on the unfamiliar editing work, but as one of the "Protection Divisions" and as the "publisher's house", we're doing our best to stay together! For now, I'm welcoming everything you bring me! I'll be waiting for your creative submissions!!
The 10th Division
((Both Hitsugaya and Rangiku are credited for the illustration. It's apparent that Hitsugaya mostly wrote, with several sentences present (the only legible one is "Don't say anything about my height.") but mostly obliterated by a gigantic black cloud of ink that looks suspiciously like what might be breasts. Rangiku has drawn a little arrow pointing to it that says "My boobs ♥" and beneath it has written "Come and play~ ♥" surrounded by squiggly lines and hearts.))
Hitsugaya Toushirou
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
Guys who will do their jobs.

Frank talk!! with the 13th division captain, Ukitake Juushirou
The 10th division is made up of the reliable Captain Hitsugaya and balanced by the gentle Lieutenant Matsumoto, so I think it's a very good division. I recommend this division to those of you who want to keep refining your abilities. Hah, Captain Hitsugaya is the kind of guy who just keeps soldiering on no matter what you throw at him. And hey, look, his name kind of looks like mine. Whenever I see him I keep subconsciously wanting to give him candy. It's really a good division.
The 11th Division
((This poster has a somewhat scribbled but still recognizable drawing of Kenpachi, with the text, "I drew him pretty well," credited to Yachiru. Next to his portrait are giant kanji reading, "Mass recruitment," credited to Ikkaku.))

Frank talk!! with the 12th division captain, Kurotsuchi Mayuri
The 11th division? I don't know. Why must I introduce people to the 11th division? It's just a gathering of thugs with pitiful intelligence who fight all the time. Besides, one time that lieutenant of theirs came into my research laboratory, and she climbed onto my chair and spilled disgusting candy everywhere, she touched all my machines with her filthy hands, she erased my data, she got water on everything when she went to wash her face-- Why that wretched brat?! This is all Zaraki's fault.
The 12th Division
((This poster is just a wall of text, written by Mayuri. It reads, "I wrote that I would only welcome people with 'healthy bodies', but actually I welcome sick people as well. And injured people, those are also fine. And also dead people, if you're dead, then I will welcome you as well. If you have internal organs of any sort, or a body of any sort, then I'll take you into my division and look after you. I'll handle all the formalities of bringing you into my division, and erasing everything from your background to your family. All of those things manage to become problems one way or another. But the first step is to contact me with a light heart!"))
Kurotsuchi Mayuri
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
Anyone is fine.
2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?

We'll be waiting for you.
Frank talk!! with the 2nd division lieutenant, Oomaeda Marechiyo
Huh, the 12th division? I don't know, I don't deal with them at all. Don't ask me! Direct all further questions to my personal secretary. I'm kind of the boss around here, you know. Bwahahaha!
The 13th Division
((This illustration is a typical Rukia drawing featuring a rabbit Ukitake, rabbit Kiyone and Sentarou, and a rabbit in the middle, saying, "Please think well of the 13th division!" Ukitake has scribbled in, "As ever, you're so good at drawing, Kuchiki!" with a little flower.))
Ukitake Juushirou

2. How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?

Let's fight together!

It's a really fun place!
3. What do you require of new recruits?
I don't care at aaaall!
4. Some words for the shinigami recruits.
My... Our Captain Ukitake is really a great man!!
Frank talk!! with the 11th division lieutenant, Kusajishi Yachiru
Ukkii? There's always really tasty-looking candy by Ukkii's bedside. And there are reeeally big carp in the pond outside too~ Ehehe, I brought them there.

The 7th division, pfft. Guys who want to be more manly should come to the 11th division!!
The 8th Division
((The illustration is an extremely sketchy drawing of Soifon. It reads "All you new recruits, join up!!" and "Captain Soifon" beside her portrait. Both the art and the text are credited to Enjouji Tatsufusa, the third-seat officer.))

Frank talk!! with the 10th division's lieutenant, Matsumoto Rangiku
Nanao is reeeally strict. Anyone else who's strict shouldn't join. The 8th division has a captain full of mature charm, and a sexy lieutenant, so it's really exciting~! Everyone, come and play sometime. ♥
The 9th Division
((The illustration is a skilled sketch of Shuuhei walking in a crowd of shinigami. It reads: "Me, when I was just joining the 13 Protection Divisions. I had already decided what division I wanted to enlist in, so I was excited and cut my hair, but I cut it too short, like a schoolboy's haircut. I've changed a great deal since then. And now I have become the lieutenant of the 9th division. Everyone, together let's do our best!" Shuuhei seems to have done both the writing and the drawing.))
Tousen Kaname
*No reply, as his whereabouts are unknown.

Guys with literary talent.

Frank talk!! with the 9th division's lieutenant, Hisagi Shuuhei
Our captain isn't here, but don't worry! My dedication to protecting the 9th division hasn't changed. Right now I'm focusing all my efforts on the unfamiliar editing work, but as one of the "Protection Divisions" and as the "publisher's house", we're doing our best to stay together! For now, I'm welcoming everything you bring me! I'll be waiting for your creative submissions!!
The 10th Division
((Both Hitsugaya and Rangiku are credited for the illustration. It's apparent that Hitsugaya mostly wrote, with several sentences present (the only legible one is "Don't say anything about my height.") but mostly obliterated by a gigantic black cloud of ink that looks suspiciously like what might be breasts. Rangiku has drawn a little arrow pointing to it that says "My boobs ♥" and beneath it has written "Come and play~ ♥" surrounded by squiggly lines and hearts.))
Hitsugaya Toushirou
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
Guys who will do their jobs.

The only division where you can spend all day looking at Captain Hitsugaya, who's very well-liked among both men and women, is the 10th division! We'll be waiting~~ ♥
Frank talk!! with the 13th division captain, Ukitake Juushirou
The 10th division is made up of the reliable Captain Hitsugaya and balanced by the gentle Lieutenant Matsumoto, so I think it's a very good division. I recommend this division to those of you who want to keep refining your abilities. Hah, Captain Hitsugaya is the kind of guy who just keeps soldiering on no matter what you throw at him. And hey, look, his name kind of looks like mine. Whenever I see him I keep subconsciously wanting to give him candy. It's really a good division.
The 11th Division
((This poster has a somewhat scribbled but still recognizable drawing of Kenpachi, with the text, "I drew him pretty well," credited to Yachiru. Next to his portrait are giant kanji reading, "Mass recruitment," credited to Ikkaku.))

Frank talk!! with the 12th division captain, Kurotsuchi Mayuri
The 11th division? I don't know. Why must I introduce people to the 11th division? It's just a gathering of thugs with pitiful intelligence who fight all the time. Besides, one time that lieutenant of theirs came into my research laboratory, and she climbed onto my chair and spilled disgusting candy everywhere, she touched all my machines with her filthy hands, she erased my data, she got water on everything when she went to wash her face-- Why that wretched brat?! This is all Zaraki's fault.
The 12th Division
((This poster is just a wall of text, written by Mayuri. It reads, "I wrote that I would only welcome people with 'healthy bodies', but actually I welcome sick people as well. And injured people, those are also fine. And also dead people, if you're dead, then I will welcome you as well. If you have internal organs of any sort, or a body of any sort, then I'll take you into my division and look after you. I'll handle all the formalities of bringing you into my division, and erasing everything from your background to your family. All of those things manage to become problems one way or another. But the first step is to contact me with a light heart!"))
Kurotsuchi Mayuri
1. What kind of individuals are you seeking?
Anyone is fine.

Frank talk!! with the 2nd division lieutenant, Oomaeda Marechiyo
Huh, the 12th division? I don't know, I don't deal with them at all. Don't ask me! Direct all further questions to my personal secretary. I'm kind of the boss around here, you know. Bwahahaha!
The 13th Division
((This illustration is a typical Rukia drawing featuring a rabbit Ukitake, rabbit Kiyone and Sentarou, and a rabbit in the middle, saying, "Please think well of the 13th division!" Ukitake has scribbled in, "As ever, you're so good at drawing, Kuchiki!" with a little flower.))
Ukitake Juushirou

Frank talk!! with the 11th division lieutenant, Kusajishi Yachiru
Ukkii? There's always really tasty-looking candy by Ukkii's bedside. And there are reeeally big carp in the pond outside too~ Ehehe, I brought them there.
