It was not the first war that Retsu had seen in her centuries of life, but that still did not make the outcome any easier to bear. They had lost. By the time that Retsu had made it out of Hueco Mundo, a majority of the action had already occurred. All that she could do was see to healing those that she could, yet even her talents in that field proved to be limited, for she could not raise the dead. Many allies were lost that day, and even though she knew that the things she could do were limited, for Retsu it still hurt knowing that she could not do more.
In itself, those of the fourth division were not injured too much, as the fourth was not a division that engaged the enemy, for they instead looked after the wounded. Despite this, death still did affect them, for friends and comrades were lost. Retsu did her best to console her vice captain Isane, for the fidgety woman had lost her sister in the war. Retsu’s healing, it seemed, would not be limited solely to those of the flesh, but also to the mind. She did all she could for her vice, for Retsu knew that she must have been suffering, for although Retsu had no family of her own, the members of her division were similar to that. It was a time of bonding, of renewed friendships, of learning that life could go one despite all the hardships that one faces.
For Retsu, the initial feeling of failing her dead wards never truly left, though she was wise enough to know that some things cannot be helped. If anything, Retsu threw herself back into her work with greater force. It was easy enough to do, as there were many who required medical attention, and the halls of the fourth rang with their noises. Even when the ryoka had invaded there had not been as much bloodshed. In a way, she felt adrift, for the General Commander had been one of the key forces of Seireitei whom Retsu had grown up with. She had never truly thought about life without his silent imposing manner, and she could not help but find solace in the fact that not all ties to the past and her younger days had been cut.
Things did eventually return to normal, if normal it could be called. Retsu bore no illusions about Aizen, having been tricked already twice before, yet she continued to do what she did best; heal the wounds of the shinigami, both mental and physical. Some attempt was made to return to a routine life, whether it was sharing a tea with her vice in the evening, or spending more time with her old friends Shunsui and Jyuushirou. While the fourth would never actually take the front lines, for their power lay not in that direction, Retsu did know that they could not continue as they did under Aizen, and while she might not fight on the front lines, she could use all her skills as a healer to ensure that all those who could be saved, would be.
Zanpakutou Name: Minazuki (Purify the Flesh)
Sealed Form:
Sealed, Minazuki is a nodachi, which is a longer sword. It is hung over Retsu's back when she is carrying it, strung over her shoulder by a rope strap. There are times when she will also allow Isane to carry it for her. When unsealed, Minazuki has the ability to turn into a giant, flying, one-eyed mantra ray. It can be used to transport people on its back, or it can swallow people. Inside its stomach, there are healing properties which help those that are injured. It can also grow three legs to land, and will puke out the people in its stomach on Retsu's command. They will come out covered in a variety of fluids from Minazuki's stomach.
