"Amazing, is it not? Fearing death has become a crime has it? You must realize, Captain...Unohana? I have also been through many...horrors in my life. Perhaps even greater than yours? You have been captive, yes? You do not wish to go through the same pain again? Don't be selfish. You haven't been the only individual in this universe through pain. Thousands, perhaps even millions of individuals have gone through pain. Pain...that cannot be reversed no matter how hard one tries." |

Midori Jinkō (神鋼.緑 Jinkou Midori Literally meaning; Steel Spirit of the Greenery) is the current Kidō Corps Commander (鬼道衆 総帥, Kidōshū Sōshi) in the Gotei 13 with her current lieutenant being unknown. She was once formerly the Vice Kidō Chief (副鬼道長, Fuku Kidōchō) under Fūma Kotarō before he defected, and had just joined the Kidō Corps when Hiroya Ginkarei was the reigning captain. Upon her reign as Corps Commander, Kazuya Kuchiki's unhindered potential had been recognized, and thus she was employed to bring out the majority of his present-day skills.
Midori is renowned for her mastery over the magical arts, having accomplished feats that are compared to her predecessors. Truly her skill is almost law-defying, as simple arts have become truly tremendous barrages of spells with her guidance. For this prized skill, her alias has become The Emerald Sorceress (翠玉妖術者 Suigyoku Yōjutsusha).
Appearance[]
Midori's Casual Appearance
A doll is what one could describe Midori as. In simple terms, Midori has no other description that could fit her best. Her humane appearance, emotions and everything else have been abandoned, replaced with null, and solely null. Midori's most distinctive trait is her long emerald-green hair that flows down in small waves to her lower-back, and kept secure around her scalp with a single green headband made out of exquisite cloth and ornated with a dark green ribbon. Her skin is very pale, to the point where it is almost unnatural, and her dark azure eyes stand out in contrast to her emotionless face. Her figure is also considerably curved, though perhaps not as voluptuous as those in the Captain Commander's league, she is still considered attractive by many of the males and even females around her.
In terms of attire, Midori is commonly seen to wear the standard shinigami robes when inside the Soul Society. This consists of a black kosode, hakama, waraji and tabi. Abnormally, hers are seen to be noticeably tightened, with threads on the sides of the outfit, showing a more curved figure along with a slight modern touch to the attire. She also wears a green obi sash around her waist, where she keeps her zanpakuto sheathed on the right side of her waist. Midori also wears a unique emerald robe customized from the original Kido Corps robe, to signify her role as Kido Corps Commander. This is a zipped up coat similar to those of the individuals in the Human World.
However, on occasions where she isn't in the boundaries of the Shakumaku, Midori is seen to wear a casual white dress, with frills near the sleeves and dress itself. She also wears detached white sleeves with similar frills. Midori is almost constantly seen with a book, in whatever garment she wears, showing her attachment for them.
Personality[]
- "The borderline of insanity and sanity. Timid yet Bold"
- —Mewtwo
Midori is a particularly strange shinigami, and one of her personality is considered unheard of. This is largely due to her unusual demeanor and mannerisms, which, by others, is considered "emotionless". However, what this is is a mere misconception on what other people decipher this demeanor is. In actuality, Midori is a compassionate, kind, and overall, a woman who believes in her own morals and most importantly, the morals of Soul Society. Consequently, Midori is a strong woman who never wavers, no matter what is confronted before here, however, this is attributes to her very stoic personality. Unknowingly, from an extremely young age, she had been confronted with such situations and circumstances that her only reaction was simply....nothing.
Since that incident, Midori has, not woven, but simply, overlapped her previously cheerful and bright personality with a layer of something that resembles...nothing in one's eyes. As such, Midori tends to an indifferent and almost rude manner to most that she encounters. Despite what one would normally misinterpret as her arrogance towards others, Midori is actually a very modest person who doesn't like people to misunderstand her, and usually gives drawn out explanations of what her true intentions are. Midori is fully capable of feeling emotions such as sadness, guilt, happiness, and various others, but simply, cannot express them, both into words, and visually with facial gestures. Due to these unusual circumstances, Midori is constantly seen using her fingers to create artificial facial expressions, to replicate her lack of true visual expressions. Also stemming from this, Midori tends to give metaphorical and long drawn out explanations of what she possibly feels at any given timeframe, and tends to prattle on about the said topic, causing annoyance at various times.
Midori with her book
Midori is very fond of Kido scrolls and books in general, and is constantly seen with one in hand, no matter the occasion. Even on formal meetings, she will constantly be seen carrying a book in her hand. Also rather forgetful, she tends to note down what forms of Kido she has learn't and/or created for easy convenience in battle situations, making one think that she is casting them from a book herself. Unusually, Midori seems to be rather brash and rude towards those who are males, possibly due to her past, Midori rarely treats them with any respect, unless they are of an equal or higher standing than her, and even then, she will rarely respect them more than females. Midori despises those who go against the law for truly despicable reasons, and one will find that in most cases, she will recommend a death sentence for any crime that doesn't have any justifications for why it was committed. She is also known to be the executor of many criminals, due to dealing with them without being engulfed in any form of pity or sadness when dealing with them. Cold, harsh yet in some ways merciful to those individuals, she will kill them, without them having to resort to unneeded suffering.

Powers and Abilities[]
"My sister is skilled at the Zankensoki, you say? Well...that could be one way of interpreting it, surely. However, here's what I see it as. The entirety of Midori's essence is imbued with the magical arts, namely Kidō. So, every other skill isn't "refined", as you'd think, but rather, automatically becomes so through unconsciously becoming an outlet for her Kidō." |
Keen Intellect: Midori is a captain of the Gotei 13, and one who has been a shinigami for several centuries. Her experiences have panned throughout several battles; on the physical realms, spiritual realms and even within her own mind. Deep within the recesses of her mind lay something beyond the emotionless visage that is the Kidō Corps Commander. Her genius is something that very few possess, for the experiences she has accumulated have proven to be exceedingly useful for her. With grandeur she is capable of sifting through almost any situation with only an impassive reaction at best. Even as a young child, she grasped the concept of several spiritual and physical abilities with remarkable ease, keeping ahead of the rest of her classes with ease that wasn't comparable to other students that had come both before and after her. She appeared to have an innate affinity with the spiritual arts, to the point where even experienced teachers at the Academy had been baffled by her exponential progress; causing higher ranks to come and teach her personally! Among these included: Ginrei Kuchiki, Aizen Sōsuke and Unohana Retsu. As of now, her skills aren't any less formidable; and in fact, they have been further augmented. With flawless ease she is capable of discerning through the basics of an enemy's strategy, employing their abilities against them with her tremendous Kidō ability. Even against elemental abilities of a foreign origin, and beings of extraordinary power, she remains her impassivity and fights against them without hesitation.[2][3]
Master Strategist and Tactician: Underneath the locks of her mind, Midori possesses a level of tactical ability that would even cause the greatest of minds to question her prowess again and again. Truly her strategic ability is monstrous, and she has been compared to minds of the centuries again and again. Including with this is the ability to intuitively conjure powerful tactical retaliations and assaults against an enemy or ally, using her plethora of abilities and choosing the specific and correct ones to employ. With her strategic ability, she generally enters combat with a preliminary strategy of restraint. By employing binding spells, she would normally be capable of subduing an enemy with powerful seals and barriers meant to entirely nullify their spiritual powers. If these strategies aren't capable of defeating an enemy; Midori resorts to the extensive usage of Gaki Rekkō in order to weaken her enemy significantly and persist in the employment of successive binding of her opponents until they are in sufficient condition to be taken into prison if need be. However if the necessity is higher than the norm, Midori will commonly employ tactics that would be used as a means to counteract an enemy's abilities. Through Kidō she would be able to entirely negate their spiritual attacks, and erecting powerful barriers and seals to make them physically stagnant. Truly it is exceptionally difficult to directly deal with Midori; for her barrage of magnificent assaults are both deadly and scenery to the eyes themselves.
Great Spiritual Power: The Emerald Sorceress gives off an impression of a rather low quantity of spiritual energy. The volume and area it covers is rather minuscule when compared to that of other, substantially more powerful captains. This is most prominent with those such as Ryōiki Unohana and Seiji Satonaka in particular. Regardless, the amount of control that Midori wrests over it is truly tremendous, enough to leave even experienced Shinigami in awe of her capabilities. What is most evident about Midori's spiritual energy is not in its amazing quantity or its unique presence, but rather, it's in its...absence of presence. Midori's spiritual power resonates with her very soul, an important fact she learned years ago when she tried to harness it as a young girl. Later, when she was in the most frightening portion of her life; Midori's spiritual power began to take a much darker and frightening quality, representative of the times of suffering she went through. Finally, when her personality was eradicated, Midori's spiritual power consequently suffered by becoming, what is most aptly described as "void". Midori's spiritual power has no presence, has no presence, no nothing. Once exerted, Midori's spiritual power acts as a "black hole", in the sense that while something does exist, it appears as if nothing exists, therefore becoming a paradoxical-like force that attracts all beings composed of reiryoku towards her. It is also for this reason that she exists as a foremost master of Kidō, as her power allows her to quite effortlessly harness the reishi existing surrounding her.
Encompassing Spiritual Awareness: Awareness, one of the most important things of any spiritual being; for without awareness ignorance lies upon the doorsteps of your being. The ability to be aware of every inch of movement that takes place surrounding you; the capability to visualize the truth from the false, to break through fabrications and carve your own path. Midori has refined and honed this aspect of her being ever since her preliminary days as a soul. Though it might not have been as necessary, Midori had always possessed awareness of the happenings around her; picking up on the minor details that even the experienced used to casually pass by. It was with this augmented insight that the beginning of her days as a spiritual entity awoke. Honed through the echo of battles, trickle of raindrops and the rustling of bushes; Midori after awakening her preliminary prowess as a shinigami had heightened senses beyond the comprehension of her peers and mentors. Already, she had begun to delve into depths of a spiritual essence and the truth of what this entity had entailed. As her ventures would expand, understanding would unfold as would a scroll of knowledge. Knowledge of such an abstract concept such as one’s spiritual essence came naturally to her. With very little guidance, Midori had already gained enough ability with spiritual awareness that there was no necessity for a specified set of maneuvers in order to gain insight into the thoughts of her adversaries and allies, as such a rigid framework had no use with the amassed reservoir of knowledge and sheer potency that Midori had possessed. In the present time, Midori has gained such intimate understanding of the entity known as a “spirit” that she actually possessed the need to consciously control her own capabilities! A direct result of the sheer mastery obtained with her own spiritual conscience, Midori is unable to completely exert it, for the enormous fluctuations of energy noticed by her would be ludicrous! Consciously controlling her output to a minimum of 500 metres near her person, Midori has a complete understanding of what exactly goes on in her own division, and thus is capable of registering and overcoming any difficulties with exceptional efficiency. Furthermore; when entering the preliminary stages of combat, Midori expertly utilizes her masterful sensory skills to catch the weaknesses of her opponent through fluctuations in their spiritual energy, utilizing this to her advantage and adopting an entirely fresh strategy to overcome a potentially stronger opponent.
Zanjutsu Expert: As her brother aptly described, most of Midori's physical skill is attributed to the fact that she uses everything as a means to enhance her own magical prowess. Thus it can be considered not a fortune, but a death wish when Midori wishes to utilize the Zankensoki. The reason for this? Because it serves to enhance her spell's range, power and control over a hundred times. Midori isn't a woman who would completely disregard the benefits of other art forms, instead she has taken their core principles and integrated them into her own magical philosophy. Upon drawing her sword, Midori condenses the range of her spell into a narrow line of spiritual energy, which can then be magnified over a hundred times through her own usage of Zanjutsu. Midori's style appears to be centralized over the use of Kendō, and it is recommended that she does so. After all, what she requires is not greater speed or range of her spells, but simply greater power, without the consumption of extra spiritual energy. Midori's Kendō is able to do this for her, and does so absolutely frighteningly. The Zanjutsu technique Onigiri (鬼斬り Demon Sword) is thought to be integrated into her fighting style subconsciously; as she channels her spells into her Asauchi, which brims with a refined flow of spiritual energy constantly. This spiritual energy then is projected downward across the edge of the blade as she swings, releasing it as a cascading arc of demonic energy, the purpose of which is to annihilate her enemies entirely. However Midori knows such barbaric swordsmanship would not get her anywhere, and thus limits how much power is released in every swing. Notably, her swings are fast paced in the midst of combat, each swing releasing a deadly arc of spiritual energy that is then manipulated by Midori's own grasp over her spiritual energy, making it almost impossible to avoid the sheer power that the technique holds. However, Midori is unable to competently engage in close combat for a significant period of time thanks to her physical frailty, making it unbecoming of her to use this form of combat for a significant period of time.
Kidō Master[]
Kidō (鬼道 Demon Way) is defined as the use of one's own reiryoku into a manifested form outside of the body of the user, which is then manipulated to accomplish a variety of tasks. This very definition is rather limited in its concept; as Kidō, to a true master, is simply far greater than the manifestation of one's own spiritual energy. One could comment that Kidō is the very essence of the soul, brought about through one's own willpower in order to accomplish a given task. To produce a strong spiritual power, one must boast willpower, enough to tangibly mold one's own spiritual energy and then wrest control over it. But, willpower isn't the only deciding factor in this regard, as even someone the likes of Renji Abarai is unable to control his spells correctly, despite his enormous power. Midori later reveals that this is due to his lack of finesse in regards to being able to exert and manipulate his own reiryoku that courses through his veins.

Original Kidō Spells[]
| Spell Name | Description | Incantation |
| Terumōkujo (照蒙駆除 Illuminate the Ignorance of Destruction) | Terumōkujo is a technique that Midori had created during her tenures in the beginning of the Kidō Corps. Even at a young age, her skills were enough to read off unique texts and influence the construction of a varying number of spells from pre-existing ones. Midori simply weaves a small number of magical energies surrounding her. They envelop her in an aura of sorts which then deviate from her being and begin to fly around in an almost senseless manner. Yet these phantoms of energy have a single purpose, to envelop all that is known as destruction. The phantoms themselves bear an unorthodox appearance, bearing a light-blue hue surrounding their transparency, along with a magnificent spiritual ruby embedded into their heads. Midori has customized this spell to possess a modified form of heat-seeking capability. Unlike the traditional heat-seeking, which looked for notable levels of spiritual energy emitted from a being, Midori has altered this, allowing them to solely look for something with destructive intent. Destructive intent is commonly considered the firing of a Hadō spell, yet Midori does not possess such a shallow mindset. Her years of study have allowed her to expand her knowledge, and thus, these phantoms are shown to react specifically to a spiritual energy that bears fluctuation that shall be used against her or any of her allies. However, this is only an automatic function of them, for Midori is able to telepathically manipulate them for her own bidding, allowing them to defend her from attacks, or envelop her enemies prior to them even using such destructive intent. The phantoms are capable of an abnormal ability, for the ruby embedded into their heads serves as a conduit for the absorption of any and all loose reishi or spiritrons in the air. This allows any and all spiritual energy against Midori to be weakened significantly, or outright negated. This is one of Midori's favored spells to cause an opponent to lose their will to battle. | A drop of blood, eight birthed. Eight govern the infinite realms, observers, rulers, kings, queens, divinity. Roots remain deep within this infinity, point of zero, let ignorance become downfall, illuminate the thousand realms with the thousand lanterns, glow with the ferocity of the sun, kindness of the ruby. Blood spills once more, not for birth, but retreat. |
| Kūmu (空夢 Empty Dream) | An illusory Kidō described to be one of the highest achievements of her own Kidō prowess. It can be considered, to some extent, a much more advanced application of Hakufuku, in that it deals with the subconscious. Midori raises her hands to her chest, closing them and inter-locking her fingers. In doing so, she creates a small sphere of spiritual energy that retains an unusual purple-like color. The spiritual energy is then coated across her entire body, expelled as a vibrant aura of spiritual energy that ripples across the ground and the air simultaneously. These ripples, unknown to the opponent, have several "nano-particles" of Midori's reiryoku integrated into them, which enter the opponent's body through any orifice available. These nano-particles direct themselves to the opponent's brain almost instantaneously, in which they send an unusual pulse of sorts that quickly allow Midori to determine their exact location. With nothing but mental commands, Midori can order the particles to quickly take over the cognitive perception of the enemy by altering their spiritual flow. Though the effects are considered to be rather slow at first, they easily throw off an enemy's depth perception and visual senses. Eventually they extend to the auditory senses, as they envision Midori's own voice as an echo of sorts, reverberating within their ear. At the point where all five senses are overtaken, the enemy has likely collapsed through the sheer mental stress that they have gone through. However, at the early stages of the spell, if the opponent is capable of recognizing the illusion that does exist, measures can exist to block it off by retaking control over one's spiritual flow. However, interrupted with this can leave them open to battle, making this technique an almost guaranteed defeat for the enemy. Of course, considering the time it takes to prepare the technique, Midori prefers to not utilize it unless required. | Dreams of the purple days, the endless days. Truth and false beckon to the light, a violet darkness creeps; duckweed conceals rage, a coat of arms. Fuel for lies, a history rewritten. Bequeathed onto you, a purple shroud. |

Zanpakutō[]
The name of Midori's zanpakutō is unknown, since it is an Asauchi (浅打ち Shallow Hilt). It bears the appearance of an average katana but with a unique and tremendously beautiful appearance to it, as stated by many of her comrades. The katana itself is enriched with a tremendous shine because of the silver that makes it up, however, it also has stains of blood permanently inked onto the entirety of the blade in a unique floral pattern. The tsuka of the blade being a magnificent, almost translucent sky blue with a darker shade being present as one flips it to the other side. The tsuba of the blade is a circular shape, similar to that of a traditional coin. While one portion of the guard bears a unique, pattern that visually appears to be reminiscent of a face, the other bears the appearance of a coiled tail. Both patterns are a luscious gold in color. The saya of the zanpakutō is painted an exceptionally vibrant emerald, which glistens in the sun.
