So which way are we going with on Zanpuktu? I have seen a number of different spellings in here and on the internet in general. Which spelling are you going to take for consistency sake?

So what seat was Rukia? I guess that she was on the sixth squad with Renji. However, Renji had more motivation to improve than Rukia. So I am figuring that is why he is the Lieutenant and not her. Because she seemed to more talented naturally than him, at least in manipulation of spirit energy. Which is why I guess she was brought into the noble family. But with such natural talent, you'd think she would be a lot stronger.
