Sougyo no Kotowari

双魚理

The manifested spirit of Juushirou Ukitake's Zanpakutō, appearing during the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc.
Upon their first appearance, both boys are observed laughing and playing, which mirrors their child-like appearance. They appear to frequently hold hands, reminiscent of their released Zanpakutō form, where they are bound together by a red rope. Since they have not yet displayed any resentment or dislike toward their former master, the reasons for their departure from Ukitake remain unknown. After being restored to normal, Sougyo no Kotowari, while remaining as playful as ever, is shown to be more well-behaved, as they actually listen to Ukitake. Their relationship with Ukitake becomes akin to that of a younger brother or son, as demonstrated by their constant attempts to tackle him for attention.
