Purpose: 5th Division, Kidou Corps / Kidou Tactics & Control

The captain of the 5th Division is also captain of the Kidou Corps; one of Soul Society’s two other military fractions except for the Gotei 13.
Members of the 5th are in general kidou experts, and are often stationed together with 11th Division members, 2nd Division assassins as well as 4th Division healers to form an all-around military group. They are also responsible for all sealing and magical workings inside Soul Society, as well as recording and storing any new kidou.
Members of the Kidou Corps are handpicked from the best kidou-users of the shinigami, and undergo additional training.

Description of Division: The 5th Division is arranged around a garden courtyard. Various wings of the building have different purposes; one is for kidou training, one is a library, another serves as a sort of kitchen/living room/relaxation area, and the last has seen many random uses, depending on the captain's whims. The offices of the Captain and Vice-Captain are on the second story and overlook the garden area so that they can see everything that happens in the Division. The garden is a nice place to take tea or meditate.

The Captain's office looks to be a standard Japanese-style room with sliding doors and a large round window. A large golden hourglass sits on the desk, along with a selection of books, usually a cup of tea, and the day's paperwork. An entire wall has been converted into a bookshelf. There is usually some kind of red flowering plant in the corner near the window.

The 5th division has been raised to have a gentle atmosphere, where every member gets along well with one another. Among the current captains and lieutenants of the 13 Protection Divisions, many were soldiers of the 5th Division in the past. You could say that the 5th Division excels at nurturing soldiers of immense talent.

Kidou Cannon: The Kidou Cannon is a special device brought out only to defend Soul Society or to perform a major attack on an enemy force. It needs a majority vote by the Captains and Judges to fire. When fired though it has the power of 3x the Sp of all members of the 5th Division. [Requires the Captain teach division members with at least 100 Reiatsu.]
