Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Introduces Zero Division

Zero Division consists of Shinigami who made major contributions to Soul Society. The Soul King made them join his special security team, and there are currently five members, including Tenjiro Kirinji, Ichibe Hyosube, Kirio Hikifune, Oetsu Nimaiya, and Senjumaru Shutara. Up until now, the Soul King demanded the group to stay out of the affairs of the Gotei 13. However, that mandate is changing, following Yhwach's rise of power.
