Eleventh Division 


 

Special Duties:  The Eleventh Division is the direct-combat Division with a specialization in swords-only combat, forgoing the other Shinigami arts and thereby being one of the most specialized divisions in the Gotei 13.  The Division’s doctrine of dominating in battle is what appeals to its members; they believe that fighting is what makes life worth living.  This is what separates 11th Division from the others and makes them the strongest division.  


The Division is setup so that to become Captain of the Eleventh, the canidate must do so through the ’third method’ 

Trial by Combat: To defeat a captain one-on-one with at least 200 hundred witnesses from the captains division.  Kenpachi Zaraki is the only known current captain to have received his rank using this method.  This method is seen as being the exceedingly rarest of the three as well as the least refined.  The method is commonly looked down upon by some captains as barbaric compared to the other refined methods.  This method also allows one to bypass having the mastery of Bankai or other possible abilities that a captain would otherwise be required to have knowledge of, as it allows no judgment from captains who would required those skills as a prerequisite to join their ranks.  

Upon defeating the previous Kenpachi, the new captain takes on the name of Kenpachi or the best swordsman of each generation.  Since the rise to captain status of the current Kenpachi, an unofficial rule has been added that says to be a true member of the Eleventh Division, one’s Zanpakutö must be a melee-type. 


Barracks:  Like all other barracks, the 11th Division Barracks house the offices and living quarters of the 11th. 


Recruitment: As the Eleventh Division regards combat as the ultimate law, the atmosphere of the Eleventh Division attracts only stalwart men who live for battle.  That’s why the Eleventh Division sets the standard for combat for all the others divisions.  In addition, while members of the Eleventh Division give the impression of being a band of wild outlaws, the men of the Eleventh brag about being firmly unified under Kenpachi.
