"Emotions? Nope, I've got nothin' like that. I told you when we first met, didn't I? I'm a snake. With cold skin, no emotions, that slithers around searching for prey with its tongue, swallowing down whatever looks tasty."
- Gin Ichimaru

Welcome to Unfettered: The Gin Ichimaru FC

This fanclub is devoted to the one and only Gin Ichimaru. Gin was known for his sneaky, cunning ways. He kept his emotions hidden under a mischievous smile. His eyes are notably closed, narrowed to slits. When he does open them, their color is an icy blue. Gin rarely opens his eyes completely, but when he does it is only to show his surprise or annoyance in any situation. Those are usually the only time his smile is absent from his face.

"The lasting impression one has of Gin Ichimaru is the smile that is permanently fixed to his face. While he may speak in gentle tones, he has an air about him that makes him hard to read and unapproachable. Scary."

When he first became a shinigami 110 years before the storyline, Gin graduated from the Shin'o Academy in one year, making him something of a prodigy. He was recruited to the 5th Division and killed the 3rd seat. This brought Aizen to his attention and Gin took the fallen shinigami's place. It was then that Gin joined forces with Aizen. Once Aizen became captain, Gin served as his vice-captain. As his most (simultaneously LEAST) trusted companion, Aizen told Gin the secret to his zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu. Gin remained the only person to know how to get around its complete hypnosis.

Gin became captain of the 3rd Division and Izuru Kira was his vice-captain.

Gin defected from Soul Society along with Aizen and Tousen.

Character Data
Birthday/September 10
Height/6'1"
Weight/152lbs
Hobby/Observing people
Special Skill/Threading needles
Food: Like/Dried persimmon
Food: Dislike/Dried sweet potato
How He Spends His Days Off/Going for walks

Gin has loved dried persimmons ever since he was little. There is a tree that Gin planted in the 3rd Division barracks. Whenever he dries fruit, he shares it with the other divisions. He has disliked dried sweer potatoes ever since he bit into one thinking it was a dried persimmon.

Gin's Abilities:

Zanpakutō/Shinsō (神鎗, God Spear)
Incantation/Ikorose (射殺せ, Shoot to kill)
Shikai Special Abilties: Gin's zanpakuto is different in that is a wakizashi instead of the standard katana. Shinsō's blade glows white and extends at high speed to impale Gin's opponents from a distance. The blade also carries tremendous force when extending. Shinsō's maximum length is equivalent to one hundred times its original length, earning it the nickname Hyapponzashi (百本差し, Hundred-span) when Gin was younger.

Bankai/Kamishini no Yari (神殺鎗, God-Killing Spear)
Bankai Ability/Gin's zanpakutō does not change in appearance at all, retaining its small wakizashi form. The abilities are essentially the same as his shikai's, but its force, cutting power, length and speed are vastly amplified to the point where Gin is capable of swiftly cutting an entire town in half with a single slash while standing a great distance away.
Bankai Techniques:
Butō (無踏, No/Null Step)/By adopting a stance where he firmly grips Kamishini no Yari with both hands and places the zanpakutō's hilt squarely on the center of his chest, Gin is able to utilize the tremendous extension and contraction properties of his Bankai to an even more terrifying extent than its normal state. This occurs in the form of a piercing maneuver where the extension and contraction of the blade becomes almost completely unseen to even the most diligent of observers.
Butō: Renjin (無踏連刃, No/Null Step: Serial Blade)/This ability repeats the action of extending and subsequently contracting Kamishini no Yari, as observed within the technique Butō, multiple times in rapid succession. The entirety of this process is completed in a mere moment, resulting in the individual steps involved in this technique becoming virtually indistinguishable from each other, generating an apparent mass of blades that leave little opportunity for the intended victim to evade successfully.
Korose, Kamishini no Yari (殺せ, 神殺鎗, Kill, God-Killing Spear)/Kamishini no Yari's true ability, as well as its deadliest aspect, is not based on its length or speed, but rather its ability to turn into dust for just a second when it expands and contracts. There is a deadly poison inside the blade that dissolves and breaks down cells. He can leave a sliver of his Zanpakutō in an opponent when he retracts Kamishini no Yari, allowing him to kill an opponent at any time he chooses to. He does so by uttering the technique name while placing his hand up to the target, which causes the target to completely break down and dissolve at the cellular level from the inside out.

Gin originally claims that his bankai can extend itself up to 13 km (8.1 miles) at 500 times the speed of sound: exactly 171,500 meters per second in order to arrive at its full length in under 0.08 seconds, which makes it not the longest Zanpakutō, but the fastest. The blade can also retract to its normal size at the same rate. However, this was a farce to downplay it's true abilities.

UGH!!!

I just realized I used the wrong word! It's supposed to be UNfettered. Not Fettered. Must re-do banner now (because I'm such a perfectionist). This is what happens when you make banners at 3am.:mad:

FIXED IT!;)

Should I change the name of this thread to "Unfettered," then, since only mods can change the name of a thread? :D

Otome-san, that'd be wonderful. Can't believe I made such a mistake...

Would anyone like to know the reason for the title "Unfettered"?

BTW, I have to say I'm glad to see Gin in manga again, even if those are just flashbacks.

But if you haven't read the recent interview with Kubo from Germany, you better don't, I'm telling you >.>

It's a trope.

The Unfettered is someone who is so completely devoted to a single goal that they are willing to go to ANY lengths to achieve that goal. They will betray family and friends, murder anyone who gets in their way, and essentially destroy their own reputation just to make sure that their goal is achieved. To them, there is no good and evil. There is only THAT WHICH MUST BE ACHIEVED. After we found out why Gin did what he did, he fit the description of this perfectly (I even helped add him to the page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheUnfettered) on TV Tropes :cool:).

Any options that presented themselves to Gin in order to get back at Aizen, Gin took. He killed the third seat to gain Aizen's attention and from there on became his right hand. There was no apprehension in his plans. If it meant getting close enough to Aizen, it was worth doing. He threw away his friendships with both Kira and Rangiku, his captaincy, and his reputation all in the pursuit of seeking revenge. He never let his emotions get in his way, hence the smile. Even the quote in the first post from Gin is very telling about how devoted he was to his goal. He discarded all emotions in the name of revenge and if probably would've succeeded had Aizen not been hopped up on Hogyroids.:mad:

@Kurorai
Why not?

@Kurorai

Well...
From what I read I think on wiki (someone who was there wrote it down) he said definitely that Gin is dead. It shocked me a bit that he said it just like that 'cause usually he's unclear, he likes to tease fans and give them hopes. But this time he just clearly said that he is dead. And added that it's better for Gin that way.

Wow, y'know what? Those are the exact reasons why I love Gin's character so much. Especially the fact that he was willing to be hated and feared by his Shinigami colleagues in order to achieve his goal. I don't know, I always liked that about him. Though it's probably the fact that I like Rangiku so much and he did everything he did (including abandon her) for her,

Now I'm sad... I wish he'd come back. The world is a better place with Gin in it. At least we get him in these flashbacks.

^ Yeah it is nice seeing him even if is just flashbacks.

Do you guys think that Aizen ever offered Gin more power by becoming a hybrid?

I don't know about you guys but I was glad that Gin didn't pull a Tousen during FKT.

He stayed pure Shinigami :cool:

Totally agree! :D I missed him so much and was heartbroken when he died...

I can't tell you how much I squeed when he said "oops" in this latest chapter. ;) I love how he reacts when one of Aizen's sinister plots looks like it's about to get foiled. He's such an epic character. Plus probably the most fun character ever to RP. ;)

I'm sure Aizen did offer Gin more power... and I'm also certain that Gin didn't turn him down point blank. I'm sure he had a clever, humorous response to deflect Aizen's request (and any suspicions).

I'm glad Gin stayed pure shinigami too. Only Aizen and Tousen turned into monsters...

Kurorai
04-06-2013, 10:21 AM
Yeah, I agree with Sariniste. But actually, maybe I remember wrong, but how were they changing into hybrids? Didn't Hogyouku take part in that process? And if it did, Hogyouku was granting wishes and changing into monster just for power wasn't something that Gin wanted. Maybe he even thought that after it all is over, he will come back to Rangiku (the rest of SS probably wouldn't understand), he couldn't do that if he was half-hollow.

Also, yes, I always point out that he stayed pure when people discuss if he was good or bad and stuff. He wasn't like Tousen or Aizen, he only sticked with them to achieve his goal.

That's the beauty of Gin... Good an evil didn't seem to matter to him. Only the goal. That's why I wouldn't ever really call Gin "evil." Maybe someone with a skewed sense of priorities and a very twisted sense of humor, but who deep down probably isn't such a bad guy. I'm happy he's the only one who remained normal out of the trifecta. I'm pretty sure Aizen asked and Gin oh-so-politely probably declined. We all know he's the only one who's gotten away with saying backhanded stuff to Aizen without ever receiving anything more than a super side-eye from him. Their exchanges were hilarious.

Aizen: *makes observation or expresses displeasure in something happening that was his fault but will not admit (like throwing off the axis of the Senkaimon)*
Gin: *replies with a smart ass answer in a smart ass tone with that insufferable grin on his face*
Aizen: *side eyes Gin without replying*

On that note, I've always wondered WHY Aizen gave Gin so much freedom. According to him, Gin's betrayal was "just as planned," so is that why he was so nonchalant when it came to dealing with Gin? Keep your friends close but your enemies closer and all that.
