Frank talk!! with the 6th Division lieutenant, Renji Abarai
Since that incident, Kira's seemed pretty down. Well, it's pretty hopeless... Hey, any of you guys who'd think, "Anything's fine! I just want to be helpful to Lieutenant Kira!" -- join here!! Good luck, Kira!!!
Shinigami Women's Association Aptitude Test
According to the Shinigami Women's Association aptitude test, those who like pranks and do not want to give-up their "playful side" are best suited for the this division as they will learn how to stay that way from Captain Ichimaru, who works hard and plays hard. The Association also assures recruits that while you cannot tell what Captain Ichimaru is thinking, he is well liked by his subordinates.Source URL: http://aminefairy.blogspot.com/2010/12/third-division.html
