Organization
Edit
The 5th Division follows the traditional organization of a Gotei 13 Division. After the Defection of Sōsuke Aizen the Division was run by the next highest authority in the 5th Division, Lieutenant Momo Hinamori. Some time after Aizen's defeat, Shinji Hirako once again became Captain of the 5th Division.

No special duties have been noted for the 5th Division. The members of this division are all highly skilled, having been trained by a captain who excels at everything, including battle readiness.[1]
BarracksEdit
Added by TinniLike all the other barracks, the 5th Division Barracks house the offices and living quarters of the Shinigami of the 5th. While a captain, Sōsuke Aizen's room in the barrack was on the second floor.[2] In contrast, Shinji's room, while he was a captain was on the first floor and, notably, contained a turn-table.[3]

TriviaEdit
- It is notable that three of the current lieutenants as well as two former captains were once associated with the 5th Division. The lieutenants were personally recruited by former captain Aizen after their graduation from the academy. However, two of the three (Renji and Izuru) both found themselves leaving for other divisions before moving to their eventual lieutenant position. Only Momo Hinamori remained and rose to her position in the same division as her initial recruitment.
