Now the only senior thats left out is Ukitake. I feel as though he is being deliberately ignored. What is your thought on this?
I agree he's being deliberately left out for now. My theory has always been that he is the hidden dragon. In Chinese and Japanese folklore, the carp that swam up the waterfall transformed into a dragon. This story is used as a lesson that adversity makes one stronger. However, it's also a warning that appearances can be deceiving. Don't understimate what the carp is capable.
Ukitake's zanpakutou is 'Sougyo no Kotowari'. That's usually translated to 'Truth/Justice of Pisces', but it can also translate to 'Truth of the Carp', and the truth of the carp is that it's a hidden dragon.
