Appearance[]
Nobutsuna was a tall, lanky, and pale man with visibly sunken skin on his face and chest, particularly around his gray eyes. He had a pointy black mustache that extended a couple inches out from his face on either side but was shaven in the middle, as well as a long black goatee covering the center of his chin, and spiky black hair that was largely covered by black fabric he kept wrapped around his temples and forehead, the sides of his face, and the underside of his jaw. In addition to the standard captain's haori over a shihakushō, Nobutsuna also wore a dark brown fur stoat around his neck and over his shoulders, as well as black gloves which stopped at his darkened and pockmarked wrists.
Personality[]
According to Yhwach, Nobutsuna was infamous for being a brutal and cold-blooded killer, which he demonstrated by massacring the Quincy of the Lichtreich when they first invaded Soul Society.
History[]
Over one thousand years ago, Nobutsuna was appointed as the first captain of the 7th Division. During this time, he fought back against the Lichtreich when they invaded Soul Society by cutting down several soldiers, ultimately helping defeat the Quincy army and later settling down during the ensuing peacetime as he found things worth protecting.
Powers and Abilities[]
Great Spiritual Power: As one of the first captains of the Gotei 13, Nobutsuna boasted a great amount of spiritual energy, demonstrated when he easily overcame and slew many Quincy warriors during the first invasion of Soul Society.
Zanpakutō[]
In its sealed form, Nobutsuna's Zanpakutō took the form of a katana with a rectangular golden tsuba featuring an arrowhead jutting out from each side and an indigo handle.
