Ukitake, Juushirou
浮竹 十四郎
He has been close friends with Kyouraku Shunsui, the captain of the 8th Division, since their youth, roughly 2000 years or more ago. The two frequently work together.
It is implied that, having achieved the rank of captain, Ukitake must be a powerful fighter. He is considered one of the strongest captains, alongside Yamamoto, Kyouraku, Unohana, and Aizen. However, his illness limits him to fighting only for short periods; excessive action triggers fits of bloody coughing (another classic symptom of tuberculosis).
The true extent of his abilities has not been seen in the series; however, he and Kyouraku both held their own against General Yamamoto for a prolonged period, and Yamamoto states that Jyuushirou and Shunsui, both of whom he trained himself, possess "greater powers on the battlefield than any younger generation, or old."
The ability of his Zanpakuto was finally displayed in the battle against Starrk and Lilynette. When an attack consisting of energy such as a Cero is thrown at him, the left sword of his set absorbs the beam. The cord connecting them transfers the charge between the two blades, with the talismans dangling from it amplifying the velocity of the beam. It is then fired out of the right sword at the same speed or faster than the initial attack.
