I always loved Ukitake and his calm and gentle way. coincidentally Ukitake and Hitsugaya share the "Shiro" at the end of their names, ToSHIRO and JuSHIRO and both have white hair! I think Toshiro found his lost father lol
So that's why bro's always coughing up blood, what a madlad. Truly the best captain, harming himself so that the others may eat snacks. Truly peak captain ngl
Jushiro is actually inspired from Okita Souji. Hints include: 1/ He loves children or smaller - size people - like Hitsugaya and his zanpakuto is a couple of children 2/ He loves sweets, a lot! 3/ He gets a lung disease and has to stay full - time inside
Out of context, it sounds weird, but when you watch the anime and find out how good Ukitake is, it's normal. He is very kind, has a good heart and likes children ^^
