For as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a shinigami. For me, being a shinigami was better than being king of the soul society. When you were a shinigami, you could double-park your gigai in front of a fire hydrant and you wouldn't get a ticket, you could stay up all night fighting hollows and no one would call the cops. It meant being a someone in a seyritei full of nobodies.
