Gotei 13 (The 13 Protection Squads)
Gotei 13 Guide
The Gotei 13 is the main branch (out of three) within the Shinigami / Soul Soceity army. The Gotei 13 is organized into 13 groups depending on the combat strength of the Shinigami in question, will determine which group he will be in and what exact position. Each Division has a Captain. The Captain is the strongest out of all their Division and joins in meetings and taking care of paperwork and orders.
Second in line in each Division is a Vice Captain. The Vice Captain is the second strongest under their captain in their Division. Vice Captains are normally the ones which have direct contact and orders from their Captain and spend most of their time beside them.
At the top of the Gotei 13 is the Captain of Division 1 (Captain Commander) is the leader of all the other Captains. He holds the meetings for all the Captains to attend and gives out orders for them to follow. If he doesn't have his own orders, he is given them by Center 46.
Within the Thirteen Divisions is Division 4. Number 4 is different from all the other Divisions. Each member within number 4 is a medical Shinigami. They lack strength and are often pushed around by the other Divisions, and have to follow orders in curing the wounded. They are only really called out at the end of battles, so they can help the wounded without distractions. Division 11 would be classed the strongest out of all the other 12. Each member placed in Division 11 means they have the taste for battle and are reckless. They live for fighting and don't accept defeat.
