Personality: Despite his unusual size, Hachi is actually a very kind and gentle man,
quite subservient to the more authoritative members of the Vizard and
quite often obeys their commands, though with some quiet complaints. He
enjoys the company of the equally kind-hearted Orihime Inoue, and is shown to be a very polite person, referring to Suì-Fēng
as "Captain Suì-Fēng", though he had no need to address her as such, as
he is neither her subordinate, nor a member of the Gotei 13.^[2] Hachi is also shown to be very intellectual and observant during his battles, such as his fight with the Segunda Espada Baraggan Louisenbairn, where he uses Baraggan's aging powers against him.

Inner Hollow Personality: Unknown

Inner Hollow Powers: Unknown

Hollow Mask Appearance:
His mask was first seen as a plain one with goggle eyes, though it was
not fully formed yet. It was later fully revealed when the Vizard came
to fight Aizen. It strongly resembles a traditional Balinese demon mask,
with tusks and protrusions from the top. A row of feather-like spikes
also stick out from the top of the mask, similar to a Native American
headdress.

Vizard Powers
______________________________________________

Vizard Powers:

Power Augmentation: While wearing his mask, Hachi's Hollow powers supplement his Shinigami powers, giving him a vast increase in his Kidō abilities.

Unique Kidō: After being exiled from Soul Society, Hachigen
refined his Kidō skills further to create new spells including alternate
types of spells unknown to any other Shinigami. He is frequently tasked
with creating various barriers and binding spells that not only
conceal, but are capable of hiding reiatsu. One example of these hybrid
spells he has invented is "Hachigyō Sōgai". His barriers are unique and original, of his own design and cannot be dispelled by Shinigami Kidō.^[55] By his own admission, his new powers are very similar to those of Orihime Inoue's
and he likes her company because of this. He is also highly skilled in a
form of Kidō-based healing that he calls "time-space regression",
reminiscent of Orihime's healing ability "Sōten Kisshun", he used this skill to restore the completely destroyed Tsubaki, where even Orihime had failed.^[56] He is also capable of using barriers as offensive weapons to devastating effect.^[57]One example of this is the ability to transfer an object directly into matter using a barrier as a catalyst. In his battle with Baraggan, Hachigen stopped the decay of his right arm with his barrier and transferred it into the Espada's stomach.^[58]Although his power has great destructive potential, Hachigen maintains that his abilities are not meant for combat.

Powers and Abilities (Wihout Hollow Mask):

Kidō Master: As the former Lieutenant of the Kidō corps, Hachigen is a powerful Kidō
master. He has shown his mastery particularly in Binding spells up to
#99. fully controlling it without an incantation though it seems to tire
him out when he exerts such high level spiritual energy.^[49][50]


Swordsmanship Specialist:
While a pacifist at heart and preferring Kidō as his primary combat
style, Hachi does indeed engage in sword combat when the moment arises.
Being a former Lieutenant in a formalized military, he was trained in
swordsmanship though has not shown any skill in it as yet. Lisa has
pointed out during their sparring match with Ichigo's body, placing him
in a position to engage in sword combat is akin to not actually
fighting. Hachi is also noticeably uncomfortable at the prospect of
having to engage in sword play.^[51]


Shunpo:
While possessing the ability to use flash steps, unfortunately, Hachi
is not as fast as the other Vizard. He becomes noticeably winded trying
to keep up with them.^[52]


Immense Spiritual Power: Being a Vizard, Hachi possesses a dual type spiritual energy, part Shinigami and part Hollow.


Highly Intellectual Observant: Hachi has been shown to be very observant of his opponents' abilities and powers, even going as far as to use it against them.

History
______________________________________________

Background:
Approximately 100 years ago Hachi was the former Kidō Lieutenant of the Kidō Corps under then Kidō Captain Tessai Tsukabishi and was summoned by General Yamamoto to a meeting about the recent disappearances of high level Gotei 13 members.^[3] He was sent by the General to help the squad formed to discover what happened to the 9th Division investigation team.

Hachi shows up just in time to stop a Hollowfied Mashiro Kuna from attacking Shinji Hirako by using Bakudō #75. "Gochūtekkan"
to restrain her. He then comments on how fast the others are getting
there. Hachi notices Love having a hard time fighting a Hollowfied Kensei Muguruma and uses Bakudō #63. "Sajo Sabaku"
to restrain him as well. He asks Shinji what is going on and what has
happened to Mashiro and Kensei, but then is noticeably surprised to see
Kensei break out of his restraints. Hachi then states that he has never
seen a level 63 Bakudō broken by physical strength alone.

Shortly after Kensei escapes he goes to attack Lisa Yadōmaru but Hachi stops him by using Bakudō #99. "Kin".
Shinji compliments Hachi on using such a high level spell, to which
Hachi responds that he may have over did it a little. Shinji asks Hachi
if he thinks he can fix it with Kidō; Hachi plainly states that he can
not fix it if he doesn't know what the problem is. It is within that
moment Hiyori
starts coughing and becomes Hollowfied herself. A darkness falls around
the rescue squad and they are attacked by a unseen assailant.

The assailant is then found to be Tōsen, Kensei's 5th seat, who is acting under the orders of Sōsuke Aizen who is the one behind the disappearances and Hollowfication experiments.^[7] Just as Aizen gives the order to kill the Hollowfied Shinigami, Captain Kisuke Urahara
and Tessai show up and save them from destruction. Aizen, Ichimaru, and
Tōsen make their escape and Tessai uses Forbidden Kidō to preserve and
transport them to the 12th Division barracks. In his lab, Urahara tried
to reverse the Hollowfication process using his created item, the "Hōgyoku".^[8] Unfortunately, it ended up as a failed experiment, not having the desired effect Urahara expected.

The next day, Urahara and Tessai were arrested under the orders of the Central 46.
The Hollowfied Shinigami are sentenced to execution as Hollows. But
before any of their sentences could be executed, however, both were
rescued by Yoruichi Shihōin, who brought them to a secret underground area.^[10]
In the secluded area, she had also brought Hachi and the other
Hollowfied Shinigami, along with the prototype for the new Gigai that
Urahara was working on. With that epiphany, Urahara resolved to make ten
Reiatsu-blocking Gigai to aid him, Tessai, and the eight victims escape
to the real world, where they would find a way to undo the Hollowfication process.

-Arrancar Arc-

Hachi first appears when Ichigo Kurosaki arrives at the Vizard's warehouse, planning to "use" them to help him control his inner Hollow.^[12]
He along with the other Vizard observes the fight between Ichigo and
Shinji, and comments on how Ichigo is holding back when it is brought up
that Shinji is holding back.^[13] Hiyori
then tells Hachi to put up a another 5 layers to the barrier, to which
he concedes to. He then watches Hiyori knock Shinji out of the way so
she can engage in battle against Ichigo; she then complains to Hachi
noting that she told him to reinforce the barrier, and he explains that
there wasn't enough time.^[14]
Hachi watches as Hiyori explains the way the situation will work and
how she will fight him. Hachi is seen shortly looking exhausted at
trying to keep up the barrier, to which Mashiro asked if he was alright,
he tells her no.^[15] He witnesses Ichigo's inner Hollow surfaces and nearly chokes Hiyori to death; he, as well as the other Vizard, quickly restrain Ichigo before he can kill her.^[16]
Hachi later comes back to the secluded warehouse from shopping
with Mashiro, bearing witness to the confrontation between Ichigo and
Hiyori while the two train to suppress his inner Hollow.^[17] He is noticeably surprised when Shinji raises his voice to Ichigo.^[18]
Hachi is tasked by Shinji to put a double dislocation barrier around
the warehouse while Ichigo and the Vizard are fighting one on one.

They take Ichigo's unconscious body down to their underground
training area, Hachi is seen carrying Zangetsu down with him. Shinji
then tells Hachi to put up a barrier down there too. Hachi is noticeably
confused to which Shinji quips don't act dumb as there is nothing cute
about an old man saying Ehhhh. Shinji also has him bind his legs and arms to which Hachi uses Bakudō #75. "Gochūtekkan".^[20] Hachi is noticeably concerned about having to fight a Hollowfied possessed Ichigo, stating that he has to preserve the barrier.^[21] He bears witness to Ichigo's transformation into a Hollow.^[22] He quickly opens the barrier to let Love out when Hollow Ichigo shows signs of destabilizing.^[23]

Later, while Ichigo is training Hachi comments on how Ichigo
hasn't really extended the duration as he can barely maintain his mask
at all. He then tries to calm down Kensei from getting into a argument
with Mashiro. He noticeably becomes alerted when he detects someone has
slipped inside his barrier. The other Vizard are surprised at the
possibility and Love questions whether it is a Shinigami. Hachi explains
that the "Hachigyou Sougai" he erected was something of his own design that he came up with after becoming a Vizard, and that there is no way it can be undone by Shinigami
Kidō. He also states it cannot be a Vizard as he doubts just being a
Vizard is enough to allow entry, he then goes on to state that what he
finds perplexing is that whoever it is didn't get in by destroying the
barrier rather they just slipped through it. Orihime Inoue
shows up and is revealed to Hachi and the other Vizard to be the
culprit, they are shown to be quite shocked to see that a simple human
could perform such a feat.^[24]

Shortly after Orihime Inoue leaves after having a conversation with Ichigo, Love
makes a statement to Hachi, noting that his barriers are perfect and
that there is no doubt about that. But he then poses a question to Hachi
"How did that Orihime girl find our hideout and once more, how did she
even get inside". Hachi states he is not sure but from the impression he
got from examining her reiatsu up close it felt that she has barrier
abilities similar to his own. He deduces that's how she came about being
able to find the warehouse and slip inside but he finds that her being a
human with those abilities is a little hard to believe.

Hachi then sends Hiyori
to get Orihime. When Orihime reaches the warehouse Hachi introduces
himself and formally greets her. His curiosity gets the best of him and
he almost injures her trying to turn her head with his large hands, so
he can get a glimpse of her hair pins. He then deduces that the hair
pins are the real form of her power, he notes that they are like a
Zanpakutō in a sealed state and that this is truly rare. Hachi then
states one of her hair pins is chipped and that he is been curious since
their first meeting. Orihime sadly admits she can't fix it, but Hachi
simply declares that he can fix it. Hachi erects a barrier and deduces
that Tsubaki was broken so that not even a splinter remained and Orihime
was unable to fix him, and that's the reason why she was asked to step
aside for the upcoming battle. He also mentions that its really strange
because from just looking at her reiatsu she should have powers very
close to his. He notes that if that was the case she would be able to
return Tsubaki to his original form even without a shattered fragment.
He then fully restores Tsubaki to which Orihime delightfully thanks him.
After fixing Tsubaki he tells her that she will be able to return to
battle now, but he to would recommend against it. He states his
reasoning being that if her powers are like his then she is not suited
for combat, especially when her opponents are the Arrancar.
But nonetheless he resolves that if to fight is her wish then that is
fine, but he cautions that she has not mastered her abilities but still
she can find a way to fight regardless of how she chooses to do so.^[26]

Hachi is later seen leaving the warehouse with the other Vizard to fight in the upcoming conflict.

-Fake Karakura Town Arc-
He is then seen with the rest of the Vizard arriving at the fake
Karakura Town, intercepting Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tōsen's release from
Yamamoto's fire prison.^[28] When Shinji asks his fellow Vizard if they have anyone in the Gotei 13 whom they want to speak to, Hachigen states that there is no one in the Gotei 13 with which he wishes to speak to.^[29]
Once the huge Hollow creature spews forth a large horde of
Gillian-class Menos from its mouth, Hachigen is among the Vizard when
they put on their masks to prepare for battle.^[30]

Hachigen stands ready for battle as the other Vizard draw their
Zanpakutō and uniquely manifests his inside a rectangular barrier in
between his hands.^[31]
Hachigen shows his uniquely powerful Kidō skills in battle by simply
snapping his fingers which erects large rectangular barriers around the
heads of four Gillian. He then states that everyone is getting too
excited and they are not at a festival so they should all quiet down, he
then claps his hands together which causes the barriers to cut the four
Gillian's heads off of their bodies.

After dealing with the Gillians, Hachigen aids Suì-Fēng and Marechiyo Ōmaeda in their battle against the Espada Baraggan Louisenbairn.
Hachigen addresses Suì-Fēng, telling her it's been a long time since
they last saw each other. Suì-Fēng acts as if she doesn't know him, to
which Hachigen comments that he figured she would say as much, and that
he is not surprised that she doesn't think well of the Vizard. Baraggan
interrupts, stating that it doesn't matter who they are or what powers
they have, for everything is equal before him. Baraggan then taunts
Hachigen telling him to come to him so he can turn him to bone and
destroy him. Hachigen claps his hands together and forms a barrier to
ensnare Baraggan. Hachigen states that he has seen what Baraggan can do,
being the whole reason he came to fight him. Hachigen tells him all
attacks are the same unless they can touch you, and that Baraggan wields
a truly fearsome power. Baraggan touches the barrier and it begins to
deteriorate, much to Hachigen's surprise. Baraggan then asks if he
thought that age could not touch Kidō.^[33]

Baraggan continues explaining how everything dies, including the
things that Humans and Shinigami make. Baraggan contends that 'forever'
is nothing more than a meaningless word born out of the fear of aging.
He then proceeds to attack.^[34]
Hachigen generates a rectangular plank in between his hands and
multiples it into rows in front of him. The constructs connect together
into a wall that holds off Baraggan's Respira. Baraggan states that he
already has said that it will rot, as the Respira begins to chisel away
at the integrity of the wall. Hachigen begins recite the incantation, to
which Baraggan comments on how clever Hachigen is, since an incantation
said after a spell can strengthen it. But he also warns that he is too
late. Hachigen puts his hands up in front of him saying the spell name,
causing large beams to build up in front of him, creating a very thick
and large wall many stories high to separate him and Baraggan further.

Hachigen then calls out to Suì-Fēng, asking her for her help as he needs her Bankai. Suì-Fēng apprehensively comments on how the Vizard
even knows about her Bankai. Hachigen pleads with her that he knows she
doesn't want to work with them because of their connection to Urahara,
but he reminds her that this is not the time for grudges. Suì-Fēng
continues to be uninterested in teaming up with him, to which Hachigen
relents and tells her he will make a deal with her. Meanwhile Baraggan
is losing patience and proceeds to try to destroy the wall before he
notices something behind him.^[36] Hachigen continues to create more barriers starting with "Koko No Jomon", a pinwheel shape barrier on Baraggan's right; "Kigai No Jomon", a prism shaped barrier made of a multitude of smaller prism shapes on his left and finally "Hoyoku No Jomon",
a large post with what is similar to wings fanned out forward eclipsing
all other constructs. Hachigen calls out the spell name "Shiju No Saimon", causing the spell to fully take effect as "Kigai No Jomon"
becomes similar to an umbrella as a large box shaped barrier connects
all other constructs Hachigen has previously made and entraps Baraggan
completely. Baraggan laughs at Hachigen's attempts as ridiculous to
think he can be sealed in this, laughing at the idea of trying to buy
time against one who controls aging. Baraggan acquits it to being
similar to spitting on the face of god.

Hachigen simply states the barrier is not to seal him; he goes on to
explain that Baraggan used his aging on Suì-Fēng's Bankai and made it
explode far away from him so that he escaped the explosion. Hachigen
then deduces that if Baraggan is in a place where he can't escape the
explosion and the explosion is too close to him, then his powers won't
be fast enough to keep it away from him. The pinwheel section of barrier
partially opens as Suì-Fēng sticks Jakuhō Raikōben in and asks Hachigen
to promise her again that tomorrow, he will seal Kisuke Urahara
in one of his barriers for a month. Hachigen promises and Suì-Fēng
smiles as she fires her Bankai, causing the barrier to seriously rupture
and crack.^[38]

After the attack, Suì-Fēng
is left greatly exhausted, causing her to fall out of the air which
prompts her lieutenant to go to her aid. Hachigen remarks at how
surprised he is that she cracked the "Gates of the Four Beasts", going further to note how unbelievable her power is. He then snaps his fingers causing the Barrier to fix itself.^[39]
Hachigen then calls down to Ōmaeda to ascertain captain Suì-Fēng's
status. Ōmaeda yells that she is not alright and that his inclusion of
her in his plans could have killed her. Suì-Fēng stands up and remarks
that she can normally only use "Jakuho Raikoben" no more than
once every three days and she has just done it twice in one day. She
smirks and comments to Hachigen that he'd better pay her back, to which
he agrees he will uphold his end of the bargain. Immediately after the
exchange, the building that Suì-Fēng and Ōmaeda are standing on begins
to crumble and fall apart right out from under them. They realize too
late that it's the deteriorating powers of Baraggan's Respira.^[40]
Baraggan screams from beyond the smoke screen that he will never
forgive them. Hachigen's eyes widen in surprise stating that it's
impossible for him to be alive. Baraggan continues telling them he will
not forgive them for injuring him. He finally appears with the left half
of his face and his right arm blown off. He tells them they will pay
for turning their backs on him. He brings forth more Respira to engulf
the area. Hachigen puts up a barrier and dons his Hollow Mask in order
to repel the Respira. Baraggan tells him he is clever but asks Hachigen
who he thinks he is playing Hollow with. He further says that he should
know his place for he is the the Great Emperor, the God of Hueco Mundo.
The Respira breaks through Hachigen's barrier, and Suì-Fēng screams his
name as Baraggan laughs. Baraggan goes into a speech about how all are
beneath him, as his Respira attacks Hachigen, shattering his Hollow
Mask. As he continues to speak Hachigen's right arm is enveloped in
Baraggan's Respira causing it to begin deteriorating. Hachigen covers
what is left of his arm with a barrier, causing Baraggan to pause and
question what Hachigen has done to his right arm. Hachigen then points
at Baraggan to which the Espada asks what he is doing. Hachigen plainly
states that he gave it to him.^[42]
Baraggan's chest glows to which he asks what is happening. Hachigen
explains that Baraggan stated that only his power is absolute. As the
barrier placed in Baraggan's stomach is revealed, it begins to dissipate
unsealing Hachigen's deteriorating right arm that was held inside it,
causing Baraggan to deteriorate at an extremely fast rate. Baraggan
realizes too late that Hachigen cut off his arm inside a barrier and
transferred it to his stomach. Hachigen continues stating that if
Baraggan's power is truly absolute, then even he can't stand against it.
Hachigen notes that it was only a guess, but he is glad he wasn't
wrong. Baraggan becomes irritated at this. Hachigen continues stating
that in Soul Society, there are no gods other than the Shinigami,
the gods of death. Thus, anyone that isn't a Shinigami can never
understand the seriousness of his words. He asks that Baraggan forgive
them for their lack of belief, sarcastically calling him the "God of
Hueco Mundo" as Baraggan disintegrates due to his own power.
Hachigen remarks that he thought it was strange, because everything
that Baraggan touches grows old and rots, yet his own bones did not. He
then states a theory about how Baraggan must have had some other power
that kept his power away from him. When Hachigen sent his own power
inside of him, that power was negated. Hachigen details that he was
right as in the end Baraggan was just another small life fearing death
and trying to keep age at bay.^[44]
Hachigen is seen looking on helplessly as Hiyori is dying, unable to
help her as it seems he needs both hands to activate his healing powers.^[45]

Hachigen then agrees to take Hiyori and do what he can when Shinji decides to go fight Aizen. ^[46] While he is doing his best to help Hiyori, Unohana comes back from Hueco Mundo and goes over to assist Hachigen. ^[47]

After Aizen's defeat, Hachigen is briefly seen along with Love,
Shinji, Rōjrūō and Lisa while Unohana expresses concern for Hiyori, and
appears to have had his arm healed, albeit in a sling.

Role
Play Sample:

-Social Role Play Sample-
A former Lieutenant from vizard corps, Hachigen Ushoda.He sat down slowly, on the ground.They were in the underground of the warehouse, to help ichigo to surpress his inner hollow.Then he heard Shinji said to him,

"Hachi, place a barrier here as well."

He spoke calmly.Which Hachigen replied back to him, which Hachi was noticeably confused to what Shinji was talking about.

"Ehhh?"

Shinji would get angry, scolding Hachigen.

"Don't 'ehhh' me!It ain't cute when an old fart like you whines like that."

Shinji quips don't act dumb as there is nothing cute about an old man saying Ehhhh.Hachigen would hear say another word from shinji after that.

"Also, place a five-degree barrier around Ichigo."

Hachigen nodded as he began to start his Kidō spell on the unconscious body, who is ichigo.He would use Bakudo #75, Gochutekkan.After that, he summoned five incredibly tall and thick pillars which are connected to each other by chains, and pins Ichigo onto the ground with the pillars.

(This was made when ichigo wanted suppress his inner hollow in the warehouse underground)
