15 for an amazing reason that is strait up valid and a kind of long lenght

so whos the calmest charecter?

*Captain Kuchiki*

I am best fit for that title. I'm calm at all the times. I do not let anything bother me unless you hurt my pride. (Rukia & mostly ever girl here in the Union) :lol: I'm calm in each battle. Well... Ichigo got cocky. So yeah. I stay calm and work my hard situations.

I would have to say Shunsui fits that perfectly. he never gets worked up even when he has every reason to. course, part of that is the fact he's lazy. but part of that is his insane patience. I dont think I'v seen him ever not perfectly calm.

It amazes me that you all totally missed Unohana as being a very calm person. She is always reserved and very peaceful. This is definately needed when being the Captain of the Medical Squad. I mean come on people, who wants a crazed person taking care of them when they are injured. However, she can also be rather agressive when the need arises..but that is not the main part of her personality. She is the "mother" figure because she is very caring, calm, gentle, etc. towards everyone.

to quote bleach.wikia.com"

"Even when fighting powerful opponents,like Starrk or Aizen, he never (or at least rarely) loses his cool, going as far as to make small talk and joke around with his opponents."

i go for shunsui. have you seen byakuya smile, at least in a fight or emergency? usually, when you see people with serious faces during emergencies (like batman), the first thing you'd think of is "boy i dont wanna mess with this guy right now.." i can't see camlness in byakuya, only his superiority complex. his face is like that not because he's calm about the situation but most likely because he needs to show people SoulSociety can handle the problems. 

on the other hand, shunsui, despite the weight of the situations, still manages to smile, converse with his opponent in a relaxed manner, and crack a few jokes. 

As far as Shunsui goes, he is definately unique in his mannerisims, he is generally a very happy person, like you said ichinose-san, even in the heat of battle or any serious situation. He's not one to get stressed out and that might have to do with the fact that he really likes his sake.

Quoted from Bleach Wiki about Unohana:

"Unohana has a gentle and warm personality that augments her appearance. Unohana is a soft-spoken, polite, and caring woman who uses honorifics when addressing everyone, including her subordinates and the enemy. She rarely shows any signs of panic or distress, and has a great sense of duty....With her grace and kind manners, she lets others know quietly that while she may be soft, she is not to be taken lightly. Despite her gentle nature, several members of the 11th Division and even her fellow Captains fear her. .... Also according to the former captains of the 5th and 7th divisions...she can be very frightening as the look on their faces implied they would never want to get on her bad side."

These very reasons are why I think that Unohana fits the Calmest Character profile...

Idk about Shunsui not the one to get stressed out. When WW [spoiler] RIP [/spoiler] , surprise attack Ukitake, he went mad crazy and forgot all about Stark. Stark sneak up behind him and attack Shunsui.

Byakuya vs Zommari. When Rukia attack Hontaru (ms?), Byakuya didn't go mad crazy. He starting thinking of ways to stop Rukia (under Zommari control). I tell you all this. Byakuya and Mayuri during the HM Arc prove to us that they are calm.

Well yeah that's true...Shunsui did loose his cool, but I think just about everyone has done that at one time or another...

Byakuya is a Nobel and was basically raised to keep a calm look & mannerisim at all times, so yeah he may be calm looking all the time, but that doesn't mean he is a calm personality. It's more like he has an aloof attitude and just gets the "job" done in a rather matter of fact way and then moves on.

When he was younger and "fighting" with Yoruichi he sometimes lost his temper, which was made apparent in is facial expressions, if not in his actual actions. *looks at the gif in your signature* So he isn't really all that "calm" when it comes right down to it.

yeah, byakuya has shown emotion and kinda killed the calmest character thing :P

and ok, if shunsui did that then maybe that takes him off. unohana...is close. very close. but not quite. she lets emotion show when she puts fear into people who mess with her squad while under their care and she finds out about it :P or if they comment on her age and she takes offence :P

anyways, aizen I cant argue against, I cant think ofo ne time that he showed any emotion....

We are talking about now, folks. Everyone in the (past arc or beyond) past lose their cool. When Byakuya and Yoruichi had their reunion (episode 42), not once you see Byakuya go mad crazy. He left as a calm cool character.

OH! Don't get me started on Aizen. There are plently times he was about to lose it. Ex: With Tousen in episode 212. If Tousen said another word, Aizen was about to lose it. Plus, I think he was going lose it when Ichigo save Rukia.

1- Sure Byakuya hasn't gone mad crazy on someone but you don't just look at the way they attack others but also the words they use and their facial expressions. And I believe I have noticed multiple occasions where Byakuya has been surprised. 1) Yoruichi showing up in the Soul Society Arc. 2) Ichigo showing Byakuya his Bankai and parrying all the petals of his initial Bankai state in Soul Society Arc. 3) Ichigo running through the Kuchiki Manor and bursting into Byakuya's room in Soul Society Arc.

2- Shunsui is a very ideal candidate for this, more so than Byakuya. Often carefree, lazy and humorous, Shunsui has mainly shown surprise in the case of Wonderweiss attacking Ukitake. I have rarely seen him surprised in any other occasion. He tries to distract and persuade enemies from combat, instead offering conversation and/or sake. Even when facing Old Man he kept his cool as Ryujinjakka's Shikai was released.

3- Unohana definitely rivals, if not surpasses, Shunsui. The most alarm she has ever shown has been when Isane was about to attack Aizen after he had defeated Hitsugaya and that was in the form of a warning. As said she's soft-spoken, benevolent and well-mannered. Even on the way to Fake Karakura Town with Ichigo she seemed to calmly explain how Ichigo was their trump card against Aizen despite the situation.

4- Mayuri is hardly a candidate for a calm character, because on multiple occasions he let his emotions guide his words. He has been surprised and shown utmost disgust and anger when he's been upstaged. 1) Uryu vs. Mayuri Soul Society arc when Uryu shot his Bankai in half. 2) Bount Arc when he discovered his data had been tampered with. 3) Mayuri was extremely angry when Ichigo and Unohana compared him to Kisuke.

5- On the other hand, Nemu can be a strong candidate too. She's about as soft-spoken as Unohana and shows little emotion that isn't the result of severe pain. She has never been angry nor has she been sad; I can't say I've even seen her express happiness. Anything like surprise, alarm or similar emotions are extremely dulled to the point where there's barely any indication.

Ichigo running through the Kuchiki Manor and bursting into Byakuya's room in Soul Society Arc.

When did that happen? Oh wait. I know. NEVER. Ichigo never step in Kuchiki Manor in the SS Arc. Surprise and Calm are two different things. We talking about calm. If you say shock, all of them was shock in the SS Arc.

Yoruichi=Byakuya
Shunsui=Yamamoto/Ichigo
Unohana=Aizen
Mayuri= hmmmm I guess Uryu

IF you want to add fillers in, Shunsui in 2nd Movie against Sojori.

hmm, I would have to say either nemu or shunsui.

I'm sorry kisuke but I have to say byakuya is ruled out...he's shown more than just shock, he's been actually angry to. dont have to jump around yelling and screaming to be uncalm :P he gets pretty offended and whatnot by ichigo pretty easilly most of the time, but its even worse when they fight. I personally would rule byakuya out.

aizen, I'm not so sure on.

*sighs*

This is about calmest. Everyone been shock. Byakuya only once was angry. (Ichigo) After that, Byakuya show himself being calm.

You wouldn't say Old Man because of that epic quote he said 2 weeks ago and today's chapter. You can not say Nemu because what she is. She's like a robot with no emotions. Shunsui is still probably in the middle.

If you want calm characters, pick the 3 captains that went to the HM or somebody mysterious.

*points at Isshin*

I want everyone to come up with good reason why is Byakuya rule out. Ichigo is already known in the SS Arc. After that, when did Byakuya show anger?

Everyone in the series show anger except Nemu and few other characters that are rouges.

im liking the discussion.

I think Byakuya is calm but not the calmest in my opinion. he did get angry and shocked a couple of times more compared to shunsui and others

in my opinion, byakuya worries a lot, specially and most of the time about rukia. remember when he apologized to rukia, he was greatly disturbed because of his dilemma whether to keep promise to parents or his wife.he was holding his feelings to uphold SS laws. but it doesn't mean he's calm in the inside.

to be calm is to be at peace or cool with oneself during not-so-good situation. he just DOESN'T show what his feelings are. being the head of kuchiki clan, he needs to set an example by SHOWING his stern face when most people are uneasy or in panic.

if he's not really worried (which is the opposite of calm) about rukia, then is it just coincidence that byakuya keeps showing up when rukia is in danger like in the Bount arc or in the 1st movie?

ichinose-san

Did you watch or read the Zommari vs Rukia fight? Did you pay attention to the way Byakuya was talking. He call Rukia, "that." When Byakuya in war, he's prepared. That why Byakuya was calm throughout that match. He didn't worry about anything.

i read it again just now. he was calm during the first half of chapter 300 until zommari used amor. he showed a lot of "huh?" faces. and then on page 16, he used his left arm to shield "that" who is rukia.

then there is chapter 301 page 4 which i really think is not a calm face

which shifted again quickly to a "stern" face in page 5.

and then in page 13 when rukia, under zommari's control, was about to slice her neck, byakuya showed another "uncalm" face.

i dont think he hussled. it's more like adapted. at first he said zommari was nowhere near his level. but when rukia almost got into trouble he decided to use bankai. just like when he fought renji. he thought he wouldn't have to use bankai on renji but then he used it.

mayuri didn't hussle either. his opponent used the wrong ability on the wrong person at the wrong time. if the opponent used it on another person other than mayuri;s bankai or nemu, it might've worked.

Byakuya is a perfect type of captain and head clan member. You really don't show "your true self" in battle. sfkm2

exactly why most of us ruled out byakuya. he doesn't show his true self but only naives like orihime wouldn't see pass through byakuya's feelings like worry or shock/surprise. 

Trust me. Mayuri hussle Szayel. How?

*points at Uryu*

Byakuya use bankai to overkill somebody.

unohana, old man would be my top choice.. since they are cool with everything.. never rush and ects.. Nightmare-_-

*coughs*

You must be joking. You was about to take your comrades with you in Bleach Manga Chapter 393. Also. You rush in the SS Arc, Bount Arc, and HM Arc. Bleach Manga Chapter 393-395, you show more than calm.

I still dont think byakuya is even a candidate. he gets quite angry. We'r not talking hothead yelling and screaming like renji or ichigo. you dont have to hop around yelling to be uncalm.

anyways. I have to say old man is ruled out to. he gets quite angry a few times and shows it quite well. He's patient, but he isnt very patient with what he thinks is complete stupidity...or ignorance. And it shows.

Unohana...I guess could still be a candidate. I dont think anyone is 100% flawlessly calm in the entire series tbh, aside from nemu, who still showed emotion once or twice I think. But I do have to agree nemu isnt a fair option since she's for all intents and purposes a programmed creation, just like a computer. Sure she's developed her own personality etc. from there, but not much.

I'd like to say, someone might want to nominate hanatarou, but I would have to say he's ruled out to. most of the time sure he's calm and pretty plain...but he panics easilly.

Need some proof.

Byakuya Appearances:

SA Arc
SS Arc
Bount Arc
End of Arrancar Arc
HM Arc
FKT Arc.

Alright.

Begin.

dude, he's so prideful, he gets ticked off at the slightest thing...you do not have to be running around screaming and slapping ppl to be uncalm. he gets uncalm just by being near ichigo because ichigo hurts his pride over and over because ichigo doesnt understand the customs of the nobility. his pride is so sensitive he's easilly offended. how can you call that a candidate for "most calm"? sure I'll agree he's calmer than hiyori or ichigo or someone like that. but he isnt exactly calm himself.

I still think unohana is a better candidate there.

Tho lets not forget gin.....even if he's getting kicked around he seems to stay calm. its like he doesnt really care anymore. But I'm not sure...I think he showed decent amotion a couple times didnt he?

I'm gonna have to change my choice....

Even thought Byakuya is emotionless most of the time, he still looks creepy with that stern face and so I think Aizen is the calmest cuz have you ever seen the dude lost his cool throughout the whole manga/anime and he's never worried about anything. And I saw yesterday when Grimmjow didn't want to be in the meeting of the Espada and didn't want listen to Aizen, Aizen just used his spiritual pressure to make him stay in the meeting.

That's still not proof. The ichigo part was already said. I want something new which I haven't seen yet.

*looks at sfkm2*

Well how can there be anymore proof of his temper than what was already discussed here. It is so obvious that Byakuya gets ticked at the slightest mention of Ichigo and anything that has to do with him.

Anyway, Gin is a very calm personality, just like Daoi said, he seems to be rather emotionless and not caring about much of anything; although he is definately a master of deception and in order to do that you must be able to remain calm in any situation & not let anything get to you for any reason.

Aizen is the same way...maybe more so then Gin. He had everyone fooled by his tactics of deception when it came to the Hueco Mundo arc and how he was all the "prefect Squad Capt." in the SS, yet this smooth, calculating, deceptive person that not one singel person had any idea of what he was up to for a very longtime.

Unohana does seem to be one of the calmest characters of the whole SS though. So I think that she should definately be included in the voting process once it gets started.

I know that this isn't likely that helpful in getting the COTW nominations down, but these are the 3 that I think should be included.
