Katakura, Asuka

片倉飛鳥

Asuka Katakura serves as the 6th Seat of the 3rd Division within the Gotei 13, under Captain Roujuurou Otoribashi.
He stands alongside Lieutenant Izuru Kira and other Third Division officers near the base of a pillar of blue flame resulting from the Vandenreich invasion. When Taketsuna Gori expresses frustration at the wait and hopes the enemy will appear soon, Asuka reprimands him. Upon a member of the Reishi Investigation Team reporting a Quincy inside the flame, Izuru commands an attack. However, Izuru sustains severe injuries before taking action. Third Seat Rikuu Togakushi then orders the remaining Shinigami to deploy their Shikai. Asuka releases his Shikai but is overpowered by the Quincy, who quickly slams his head into the ground.
