#hollow karin

[fangirlingpuggle]

Half asleep dumb Bleach AU/fic prompt idea where the hollow part doesn't just go to Ichigo.

So after Masaki’s attacked and everything the hollow actually affects her slightly (Not that Isshin notices because he’s never been around humans that mcuh and just shrugs off most things like ‘eh just a human thing’) so not only Ichigo but Yuzu and Karin both have hollow powers and Ichigo’s are a bit more pronounced (And masters hollow powers super quickly and way easier than other powers)

They all have just hollow tendency normally, as well as traits like glowing eyes sharp teeth and nails making growling or hissing noises, good sense of smell and hearing and being rather feral.

Isshin is a bit concerned about Ichigo having such sharp teeth when they come in but figures it may be because of the hollow side of him, when the twins have them he’s like ‘Oh ok just a human thing then...that’s odd... maybe it’s a Quincy thing?’ the growling and hissing and eyes glowing occasionally are also like ‘...wow Quincy’s are actually weird’ (He remembers Masaki doing the same thing...at the time he’d just thought it was pregnancy cravings)

Isshin: Ok kids time for bed

Twins* Feral beast like growls*

Isshin: hey don’t growl at me bedtime

Ryuken is not sure why every time Isshin visits he brings fresh meat and asks if his and Uryu’s glasses reflect his glowing eyes back and if they needed a special prescription?... he just writes it off as Shinigami being fucking weird.

Chad, Orihime and the others just write it off as one of Ichigo’s quirks like yeah he has orange hair, he sees dead people, he has fangs and acts feral at times that’s just Ichigo being Ichigo.

Rukia’s freaked out like clear hollow similarities stand out... but then it’s not just Ichigo but his sisters as well and his dad doesn’t seem concerned...just mentions they take after their mother... Rukia just shrugs it off ok just a weird human thing then.

Urahara doesn't interact with the twins so he just thinks this is Ichigo’s hollow coming more to the front after the soul chain thing.

The other Shinigami are freaked out but the kid has Shinigami powers... and really they have to deal with Aizen right now after all it’s just one substitute soul reaper and according to Rukia this might just be a human thing...none of them have actually spent enough time in the human world to say for certainty that it’s not.

The vizards are mildly concerned how the kid seems more hollow without a holowfication but then again... Urahara was involved so all bets are off and the kid actually seems to be in control...plus he acts that way normally.

It’s only when the arrancar show up and show same balance of feral and instincts and normalcy as Ichigo and the twins that everyone realizes oh not normal.

Isshin:YOU MEAN IT’S NOT A QUINCY THING?

Ryuken:...

Ryuken:YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS A QUINCY THING?

Ichigo understanding all the arrancar way better and all of them really liking him and the twins. Grimmjow falls hard and fast with Ichigo and is like ready to propose after the first fight.

The two of them are trying to murder each other and the twins are like ‘Ichi-nii stop flirting it’s gross’ the Shinigami are so fucking confused.

Arrancar:FINALLY A SHINIGAMI THAT MAKES SENSE.

Also hollows staying away form the Kurosaki clinic after the twins almost rip their throats out with their teeth.

Ryuken:AND YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS A QUINCY THING?

Isshin:...

Isshin:I mean in hindsight

Back at it with Bleach!

AKA the: If arrancar get to look kind of like shinigami despite starting off as hollows, Visored should get to look a little bit hollow all the time despite starting off as shinigami. As a (not) treat. post

(Bonus: some more floating heads under the cut)

@tigretranquilo​ “I’m just saying, I know you think you’re alone. That we don’t know what you’re going through. But you don’t have to be.”

The Legend of Vox Machina Episodes 1-6 Sentence Starters

“I-”

Grimmjow’s head is between his knees, hunched all the way in half in his seat. The concrete pipping is cool under his thighs, but the rest of him is hot. Sticky. Sense-memory of warm hollow blood replacing the reality of humid Karakura air.

Japan is edging into July, and the days are warming with the oncoming rush of summer. The vivid green leaves on the trees lining the streets and scattered through the parks have long since returned, flowers unfurled and lingering, dusting the town in whites and pinks. Even the river which bisects the town feels more alive somehow. Brighter.

Grimmjow feels like he’s doing the opposite. Shrinking away from his friends and his responsibilities. His energy evaporating under consecutive late nights patrolling the city rooftops, and the few hours of sleep he does manage to catch whether its at his bed or his desk are plagued by the sight and fear of scuttling, hungry monsters.

He doesn’t know what to tell Chad, caught between the knowledge that there’s no way to explain to his friend that he’s fighting for his life with nothing but a sword and his nerves, falling behind on his school work to kill creatures no one else can see. He isn’t losing his mind, not yet. His place is very much still under construction after the first night he learned what a hollow was, no matter how much he wished it really was just a truck careening through his living room.

He refuses to drag Chad into this, as much as he wishes his words were true. But he is alone. They don’t know what he’s going through.

“I dropped out of the soccer team.” He says instead, head turning just slightly to find Chads form next to him. It’s true, but its just a symptom of the problem. “‘M not doin’ so good at school anymore, guess I gotta study harder.”

Bloodline of the Sacred Dragons - Chapter 1-1

[Read from the start]

Chapter 1: The white Sacred Dragon of Dragonia

Besides the little birds chirping, something else made a noise. Or maybe he had just imagined it.

One way or the other, Bleu didn't care. So he didn't even turn to check what it was.

Besides the sounds in the wind, he had his voice inside his own head. There was no reason to use it out loud. Because he had no one to talk to.

He was the last survivor of the Sacred Dragons, no one else of his tribe remained. He was very well used to being alone.

All he wanted was some peace and quiet, and time had given him more than he asked for. A quiet life of indulging in books. It was a tranquility that most people had trouble to associate with a wild dragon.

For some time now, Bleu had been entertaining himself with pen and paper. As if trying to draw feelings he could not put into words. Eventually, he grew tired of it and returned the pen to its inkwell.

He had always kept the habit of writing on his diaries, though he took breaks from it at times. So long had him been writing them that the volumes filled a couple of his shelves. But lately, there had been many days like this one, where there was nothing to write about. How long had this gone on for? It shouldn't be that hard to remember.

To relax his back after sitting on the stool for so long, he stretched his long neck, turning it all the way to his back. To his surprise, he saw a girl, looking upside down due to his position.

"Bleu."

Breaking the silence as she called his name, the human girl wrapped her slender arms around his neck.

Bleu just barely avoided to fall off the stool like a klutz, and was grateful for that small blessing. With his strong neck he pulled the girl up as he fixed his posture, and then turned around on the stool.

"It's you, Karin." A name he was very used to say. "When did you come in?"

The tall girl, who reached up to Bleu's shoulders, looked up at him brightly. The hunter clothes were a good fit for her strong and graceful body. To come to Dragonia, she certainly had to cross fields and the forest. Bleu gently picked out the dead leaves entangled in her hair with the tips of his claws.

Sacred Dragons were big, but not gigantic. Unlike other inferior dragons, they walked on two legs. When it came to height, a human's head usually reached up to the base of their wings.

"Don't surprise me like that," said Bleu. "Geez. You haven't dropped this habit of hugging me either," he complained a bit, not wanting to be treated like a kid forever.

"Oh, it's your fault for not noticing even as I entered the room. I can't picture you having been once in that Shining Force," she replied with a slight pout.

Shining Force, the army of light that once saved the whole continent of Rune. Bleu had been a member of it, but it was merely a title of the past to him. Hearing the name made the tip of his nose itch. Besides, he didn't expect Karin to bring it up.

She pulled away from him while stroking his neck, and turned away. Her light brown hair, tied up in a single ponytail, made a swift arc with the motion. Inside the quiver on her back, over her leather clothes, a bunch of arrows clacked in disarray.

"Oh, right. I shot down a copper pheasant on the way here. We can make a great stew for dinner with it."

Linking her arms behind her back, she gave a glance over her shoulder, suddenly making a cute face. Then she ran away without waiting for Bleu to reply.

"A stew, does that mean you want to stay over again?"

Bleu made a dejected face just from thinking of the time and work it would take to prepare the meal. It would be night by the time they finished, wouldn't it?

"You don't want me to go back alone to Rudo at midnight, do you? Besides, there's plenty of rooms so you don't have an excuse," she answered, already out of sight.

Good grief. In his head, Bleu waved a white flag.

Karin came to visit once a month, from the village of Rudo in the west. The very picture of liveliness, this human girl was someone Bleu couldn't go against. His power was far superior, yet when it came to words he had yet to win even once.

As a kid, he had grown up among Karin and the other children of Rudo. Daughter of the village chief, Karin was, then and now, Bleu's only friend. Childhood friends, if you could apply the expression for a human girl and a dragon child.

When the demon army assaulted Dragonia, Karin again was the only one to come after the Shining Force and help him. She worried more about him than the danger she could face. That's why Bleu joined the Shining Force to protect her.

Even once he returned after the end of the war, with her fearless nature, Karin continued to be like a big sister in his life, in both age and spirit.

The changes she would bring into his life showed him that time never stands still. Any moment with her was noisy, hectic, and full of energy. Bleu liked all these sides of her.

He let out a deep breath that wasn't quite a laugh nor a sigh.

Closing the diary he had been working on, he got up from the stool quietly.

Eventually, their late dinner was ready.

They ate face to face with each other as usual, the bowl of stew on the dinner table between them.

"Krin comes back tomorrow."

Karin brought up the topic suddenly, looking up to meet Bleu's face.

"Really? Krin, that walking encyclopedia?" Bleu asked back, jerking his head up from the glass of wine he had been drinking. With the harsh movement, the wine in the glass spilled onto the table and his jaw.

"Hey, watch it. You've always had such terrible manners."

Karin got up from her chair, and wiped Bleu's mouth with a cloth.

"Stop it, we're not kids anymore, isn't this embarrassing?"

While clearly ashamed and displeased, Bleu stood perfectly still. Perhaps that was more of a reflex than a habit.

"Nobody's watching. Besides, I used to do this always back when you were a baby."

When he was just a newborn, Bleu's mother could not produce milk, so the people of Rudo fed him cow and goat milk in her place. Karin insisted that she had done it a bunch of times. Bleu didn't believe her, because she was only three years old back then. She must have been making it up. Whenever he contested it, she would start giving a bunch of details on how things were back then. Since he had no memories to compare, it was always his loss.

Not putting up with that, he tried to get back on topic. "So, about Krin coming back."

"Right, right, that."

Karin sat back on her chair.

"I heard that she went to Manarina to study magic. But she's finally coming back then."

Bleu let his mind wander to memories of Karin's younger sister. While Karin was the amazon running through hills and fields with a bow in hands, Krin was the opposite, a bookworm. The sisters were a perfect split of introvert and extrovert.

Krin was the one who looked for accurate accounts of the Manual within old books. Her knowledge had been praised even by Advisor Nova of Guardiana. Currently, she knew more about the Manual than Bleu himself. After all, he hadn't had any chance to see it, as it had been sealed within a shrine until Darksol stole it.

"Of course, you're coming with me to welcome her back."

Bleu wanted to say she was springing this on him too suddenly, but she had her hands clasped together, and her lips stretched a bit.

"Right…" he answered, a bit hesitant. He had no problem with seeing Krin. However, to do that he'd have to leave for Rudo Village.

"Krin actually asked for you to come. She said she has something important she wants to tell you directly."

"Oh, and what's that?"

"She said that in a letter brought by a carrier pigeon from Uranbatol, and nothing else. Seems to be something she wants to say face to face. Honestly, does that girl have no faith in her own sister?"

Karin sulked, and Bleu laughed as he tried to cheer her up.

"It's Krin, she might have been worried that the letter could get in other people's hands. Which means it must something really important. Guess I have no choice…"

"No choice?" Karin's reply sounded just a little bit angry.

"No, no, I'm also happy to come along," he added, laughing like a fool. His words were only half true.

Thus, Bleu left the land of Dragonia for the first time in years. It was the start of a new journey.

To next part>

Translation notes:

Bleu's mom also used to write diaries, which you can find in game.

The idea of Sacred Dragons being the superior dragons has been around before. Neither of these texts acknowledge dragonewts though, who are also bipedal. I'm unsure if they are being excluded on purpose or if the writers just forgot.

Now, the elephant in the room. Karin's appearance:

This does not look like a brown haired girl with hunter clothes, bow, quiver and hair in a ponytail to me. Not even close. There might have been some wack miscommunication between writing and illustrating the novel.

The ponytail description is slightly closer to her NPC sprite, not that it matters much since it's been ten years and this is somewhat generic sprite shared between the whole Important Little Girl Trio.

She also has a ponytail in the GBA version, though that's likely a coincidence, as this seems fully based on the original sprite, and I've already seen Krin's description in the next part, it has nothing to do with her GBA incarnation. I still have to bring all of this up to laugh back at the good old days where I boldly declared the novel had given her a proper design.

(While we're nitpicking, Bleu's eyes also seem to be red in the cover, are he did not have a striped belly in the original game.)

[punkeropercyjackson]

Sasuke gets called a 'hurts every woman in his life because his real soulmate is a man' case and in actual canon he's so desperate to get Naruto off his ass that he resorts to brutalizing him multiple times and he tried to kill Sakura exactly twice when he was spiraling due to relapsing but was best friends with her in their Genin days and continues to have a soft spot for her in Shippuden and Blank Period,was a mama's boy with pretty much no positive opinions on his abusive dad,mouthed off to multiple male authority figures and the only times he was actually mean to women more than men was when Ino and Karin would hit on him despite his obvious disinterest.Ichigo and Orihime are accused of ruining their whole series just for being endgame and then they were literally best friends who were secretly in love the whole manga with Ichigo's hollow raising him from the dead because of how much they loved her and Orihime being allowed to actually have her own personality,powers and friends and enemies seperate that were all fleshed out seperate from him.Nami and Luffy are said to be obviously the main couple but Luffy is canon aroace and Nami might be a lesbian since she's never shown interest in guys but HAS possibly in women.Fairy Tail is Lucy's story and her and the other girls have are way more interesting than almost all the guys with the exception of Gray and the Dragon Slayers and Graylu and Gajevy are easily the most well-written m/f ships in the franchise compared to the other shitty ones but you'd never know that from the fandom's metas and other content alone.Shonen fans will wake up every day and just lie

[rayshippouuchiha]

RMF Kyoraku style: I feel like her being pissed about it and half dragging half throwing them into change regardless of their own desires is just going to make them even more loyal and fanatical. Best Kenpachi or best Kenpachi guys huh? Huh?

Wonder if that means Zaraki will end up as her lieutenant.

Oh absolutely.

Ichigo becomes Kenpachi and as far as the rest of the 11th Division is concerned it's non-stop fun from that moment forward.

She makes them hunt her down? Division-wide game of hide-and-seek!

She kicks their asses when they find her. Their new Taicho is so strong!

And then she starts putting them to work in the Rukongai? Finally, something to actually do all day!

They're fighting gangs, killing Hollows, doing construction? They've never been more respected or accepted by the people. They're taking even more pride in their Division than ever before.

They even ended up with two adorable mascots in Yuzu-hime and Karin-hime and a Division-wide Enemy Number 1 in Isshin Shiba?

Perfect.

And ohhh Zaraki? Yeah he'll come up eventually.

[fangirlingpuggle]

A couple more half-asleep dumb Bleach thoughts on the hollow Kurosakis AU  (Link here) mainly Hollow Masaki.

Masaki who totally gains hollow powers after the shiro incident and when she dies because of this gives the middle finger to Yhwach bach and instead Masaki ends up in Hueco Mundo.

Just super power feral vasto lorde Masaki who’s in charge of a large area because not only is she super powerful she has the Mom voice.

*Group of hollows fighting*

Masaki:What are you doing?

Hollows:Nothing Ma’am! Sorry Ma’am!

Just Masaki who was about to overthrow Aizen and then sees her baby boy and just watches him do it instead like ‘You’re doing amazing sweetie! Rip him from limb to limb’

Masaki meeting Isshin again and being like ‘We’ll talk later darling about you planning to use my baby as a weapon’

Ryuuken:She is going to murder you

Isshin* love struck* Yeah isn’t she amazing

Her being the one hollow others listen to

Grimmjow:FIGHT ME KUROSAKI!

Ichigo:You bastard

Masaki: Ichigo dinner is almost ready you two boys can murder each other after, Grimmjow you can join us

Ichigo:Yes mum

Grimmjow:Yes ma’am

Giant vasto lorde Masaki carrying the twins and Ichigo around by the scruff of their necks like kittens.

The Shinigami having to make lists to figure out if things Ichigo and the others do are normal human things normal hollow things or just weird Kurosaki shit.

kazurei clues part 1 (ep 7)

Now that the content of Mitsuhito Tsuji's twitter likes have been going around, I'm gonna start going through the occasions where I feel the writers were doing their best to throw out clues about what their intentions were with Rei and Kazuki. First up, because I've got the episode queued up to re-watch and because it's both (imo) obvious and subtle, are the ones I see in episode 7.

To start with, we hadn't seen Kazuki go back to Fairy Lips after episode 1, but this gives concrete confirmation that he stopped going. Of course, raising a young child is busy work, especially when you fell into it with no preparation or experience, but once Miri starts attending daycare, that opens time for him that he could've used with quick trips. Incidentally, we saw what his first choice was for relaxation.

He just wanted to hang out with Rei some more, how quaint lol. (There are several hours in-between them dropping off Miri and them going back to pick her up. I really, really reeeeeaallly wanna know if they seriously just sat in Kyu's restaurant for the whole day lmao.)

And this takes me to what Dorothy says next.

I can't quite make out the exact word she uses in Japanese, but let's assume it is indeed something gender neutral like 'sweetheart'. In the moment, Kazuki is focused on fleeing before Karin can see him, but once he's away and alone with his thoughts, this is what he zeroes in on:

That's what he dwells on for hours, all throughout the rest of his walk home, while doing household chores, at dinner, even during his talk with Kyu. His struggle is the way he's determinedly holding himself in the past because he thinks it's the only way to keep Yuzuko from slipping out of his memories. Being happy, being fulfilled by something else, would mean she's getting shoved out. But in that vein, the mention of having a sweetheart could (and should?) set him in a similar way. Yet they don't overtly go back to that. But they very much tossed that breadcrumb out there.

I'd argue that Rei is functionally filling that role (hell, the preview for this very episode had a back and forth between Kazuki and Kyu where Kazuki obliquely compares Rei to his mom friends' husbands 😭). Miri is the catalyst for the big changes in their household, but it's pretty notable that once he and Rei start raising her together, he loses the inclination to flirt and party with women, and is only shown to do it again while he's in the middle of a breakdown. He hollowed himself inside so as to keep Yuzuko tethered to him. The rush of gambling and partying at Fairy Lips only briefly and shallowly filled the void. But once he and Rei outright form a family unit with Miri, he starts to heal.

Also, look at this face and try to tell me that he doesn't "ironically" refer to Rei as 'hubby' in his head!

The shot preceding this had a POV gaze at Rei's hand over Miri's, followed by a pan over to Rei himself, asleep. The shot of Kazuki smiling all fondly lasts 3 seconds. That's a good amount of time there. I can't help but think the animators were drawing attention to Kazkui having a moment over Rei.

[wulvercazz]

*Thinks about Ichigo, cold days have started, it’s his day off and he’s living his best fckn life— napping til late on a bed with a thousand covers and a bunch of super soft pillows*

*Thinks of Grimmjow coming in to be an annoying lil streetcat that yowls for attention, leaning in all close, all- ‘kurosaki- oi, kurosaki- wake up, kurosaki- fight me, kurosaki—‘ and Ichigo’s too comfortable to do more than crack open an annoyed eye and stare at the little brows set in determination, Grimm’s eyes like a cat with a string.*

*Thinks of Ichigo,,, finding that annoyingly adorable. Peeling off his covers (and trying not to shiver at the onslaught of chill air) and pulling Grimmjow in suddenly. Wrapping an arm and a leg around all the flailing wet-cat-like limbs, and doing his mightiest to purr with his hollow throat. Like Shinji taught him (even though he didn’t want to learn at all, at the time).*

*Thinks of Ichigo meeting Grimmjow’s wide eyes with lazily parted warm browns, and smiling in amusement, when the arrancar stops fighting it and his eyes start squinting like a cuddly cat’s. Only to eventually squeeze them shut and curl his head into the pillow and stretch all over, before he goes lax in Ichigo’s hold.*

*Thinks of the duet of purrs filling the room, of Grimmjow’s head so burrowed in the sheets barely his mop of blue hair can be seen, and Ichigo’s chin resting atop. Rubbing it and his jaw all over Grimm without truly understanding why, because it feels right.*

*Thinks of Yuzu and Karin barging in suddenly, talking about going out somewhere, only for them to stop suddenly when Karin sees Grimmjow and points and gestures to Yuzu who squints as hard as she can for the semi-transparent blob sleeping next to her brother to take some shape. Both smiling conspiringly at each other, and giggling to themselves as they trot back out and close the door behind them, making sure Isshin knows Ichigo’s otherwise ‘unavailable’.*

*Thinks of Ichigo waking an hour or two later, to Grimmjow’s arms wrapped around his ribs and his legs around his hips like a little monkey; flushed from the comfortable heat and hair fluffy and disheveled. Of Ichigo planting a kiss on his forehead before he can talk himself out of it and almost waking Grimm with how hard and fast his heart starts to beat.*

[gallusrostromegalus]

For AEIWAM:

Are Yuzu and Karin more involved in the shenanigans?

Will what happened to Uryuu's grandfather remain the same?

So far, Karin and Yuzu: -Take over Protecting Karkura town when Kon goes off to do heroics -Are now besties with Matsumoto, Uryu's mom Kanae, unofficial nieces of Byakuya and part of Yachiru's Terrifying Little Girls corhort -They completely destroy a Sternritter by being Teenage Girls (TM) at him until he shrivels up into a husk on the kitchen floor -Help Don Kanonji get his Modelling career back on track (Uryuu also helps)

...Yes and no? -the man does get torn to shreds by hollows :( -He does get to have an important Family reunion before he dies, and by virtue of that reunion, manages to avoid both the evil science clown and getting absorbed into Yhwach. -It's important to note that instead of being Uryuu's Paternal Grandfather, in AEIWAM, Soken is Uryuu's Maternal Grandfather.

[thewritetofreespeech]

Bleach Headcanons of Ichigo with a female S/O who has a younger sister who is exactly like Miri from buddy daddies..S/O clearly worries enough about her because she has very little to no awareness of danger (she almost got ambushed by a hollow) . S/Os younger sister is six and half. How Ichigo helped his S/O with a sister like that..

Ichigo Kurosaki + Protective Older Sister reader

“Ok sweets. I’m gonna be over on the bench with Ichigo. Try to be careful, ok? No daredevil moves.”

“OK!” Your little sister chirped. Already making her way up the jungle gym, and barely paying attention.

You sigh, but let her play, and head over to the bench like you said. “She’s gonna break her neck one of these days.”

“She’ll be alright.” Ichigo assured. “Kids are pretty tough.”

“Tough is one thing. Indestructible is another.” You feel your heart leap in your throat as you watch your sister already upside-down on the beams. Laughing in between bouts of monkey sounds. “She’s gonna give me a heart attack.”

“Relax [Y/N].” The red head replied. Leaning back against the bench with his arms spread wide. “I swear, she’ll be fine. When Karin was that age she did way crazier stuff. She turned out ok.”

“My sister isn’t your sister, and Karin has a good head on her shoulders. Besides, it’s not just the jungle gym I’m worried about.” Ichigo looked over at you curiously and you sigh. Not in your nature to be cryptic. “With everything going on, it seems that there are just more and more hollows popping up. Even if they are just small ones.” There seemed to be a new one drawn into town everywhere they looked. Ichigo did a good job of keeping them maintained, with your help and the help of the rest of his friends. But…“for someone like her, with no abilities or sense of guile, they can be very dangerous for her. I just want to make sure she’s protected.”

Ichigo pulled his arms off the back of the bench and folded them in his lap as he leaned forward. “I know. I try not to think about it but Karin & Yuzu aren’t like me. They got the short end when it came to powers from mom and dad. Somedays I’m grateful for that. Others….I worry if I’m not there to protect them, who will? That’s why I fight so hard to keep everyone safe.”

You smile softly at Ichigo’s words. Knowing that he was passionate about fighting, not for the sport of it but the need. “I guess we both have an ‘older sibling’ complex.” Ichigo smirked back at you and leaned back against the bench.

“Thanks for coming to the park with me and [L/S]. I know this isn’t the most interesting date.”

“That’s ok. The park is pretty cool.” He replied with a shrug. “Plus, there’s ice cream later.”

Somehow, across the park and over a pack of screaming kids, [L/S] heard the words ‘ice cream’ and came running. Maybe she did have some kind of sixth sense after all.

Having a mini-phase where I'm really into Bleach again, anyway:

Aizen kidnaps the Kurosaki twins when Masaki dies and has them raised in Las Noches, alternately pitting them against each other and then against minor arrancar. He wants to see how much of their Shinigami/Quincy backgrounds he can force to the foreground via constant stressors and being surrounded by Hollow energy. If he's very lucky, one of them will accidentally become a Vizard of their own volition, which he would love.

Can't let them die by way of aggressive morons, though, so they're usually in the company of an espada with self-control and maturity, like Starrk, Nel, Harribel, or Ulquiorra.

After all, what mad scientist would pass up the chance for Twin Studies?

They're still alive, and Aizen finds it funny to taunt them with just what they're missing out on. They hate Aizen, but they're also a little resentful of the fact that (at last according to Aizen himself), there are lots of people who could theoretically come and save them, like Urahara and Yoruichi and their dad, but aren't. Aizen himself oscillates between 'your loved ones are too weak to find you, because I'm a genius and can hide your reiatsu even if they do look into Hueco Mundo, muahahaha' and 'look, they don't even care enough about you to come looking.' You know, just to fuck them up in the head a bit.

There are several options:

Orihime finds them when it's her turn to be kidnapped, and then Ichigo has a (loving and resentful) surprise waiting for him when he arrives.

Orihime doesn't get kidnapped, but Aizen draws Ichigo out anyway by sending a taunting six-years-late ransom video with Yuzu and Karin in it.

Yuzu and Karin slip out when Nel gets chucked off the tower, and spend the next few years until Ichigo shows up just hanging out in the desert, because none of them know how to open a Garganta, not even Pesche and Dondochakka. (They do, actually, but Aizen's still keeping tabs on his pet projects, and is blocking that ability from the Fraccion because, well, he can't just let the girls go home before he's revealed himself to Soul Society.)

The Invasion of Soul Society causes so much hullabaloo that they (barely) manage to escape through Aizen's Negacion exit. (They aren't sure if they succeeded on their own, or if Aizen let them go to cause more chaos.)

They befriend Lilynette and at one point mention that they miss their brother, Ichigo, whom they loved the way Lilynette loves Starrk; they haven't really been told the truth of Starrk and Lilynette being two halves of the same soul, but it's enough that Lilynette bullies Starrk into kidnapping her and her human-ish friends to the Land of the Living and/or Soul Society, which Aizen actually didn't predict.
