One of the most intriguing aspects of Tite Kubo’sBleachis the character array that the story features. The series has a plethora of characters, and each of them is significant in their own way. However, there is one character that, according to manyBleachfans, is probably the best-written character in the story, and he has proved it quite a few times.
This character is none other than Kuchiki Byakuya, the 28th head of the Kuchiki Clan and the captain of the 6th Division in the Gotei 13. Byakuya is one of the first Soul Reapers that was introduced inBleach, and ever since then, his continuous development within the narrative has transformed him into a near-perfect character.
He has performed every part that has been given to him in the most flawless way, which is why he is deserving of the title of most excellent written character inBleach. Be it the leader of his clan or the captain of his division, Kuchiki Byakuya has excelled in every space, andBleachfans agree with it.
Kuchiki Byakuya’s character development inBleach
Kuchiki Byakuya is one of the fewBleachcharacters who have seen a major shift in their personalities without losing their essence and still being a fan favorite. When he was first introduced toBleach, he was portrayed as an arrogant Soul Reaper captain who was so hellbent on following the rules and customs that he was willing to sacrifice his sister.

However, when his character was explored more deeply, it was revealed that there was a reason behind him being so serious about the regulations, and it involved him losing his wife, who was Rukia’s sister. Ultimately, he becomes an ally of the protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki, and thus his development in the narrative becomes more significant for the plot.
Hecontinued to grow in all aspectsand was crowned as one of the strongest Soul Reaper captains in the history ofBleach. Plus, his personality still had the pride of being the head of the Kuchiki clan, which only added more substance to his character inBleach.
Byakuya was perfect in almost every aspect
Considering Byakuya’s status as a captain and the head of the Kuchiki clan, the ideal play for him would have been to have a classist mentality towards the commoners of the series, as it would play well with his pride. However,Tite Kubotook a different approach with him when he decided to develop his character even further.
He combined his pride with his duty to bring out the best within his personality, which justified almost every role that he played in the series.
He demands respect from his subordinates but understands when he needs to be present to protect them. He respects his customs and traditions as the head of the Kuchiki clan but doesn’t agree with the ones that feel unjustified.
