What Makes Him a Hate Sink?

• He doesn’t care about his fellow Soul Reapers when they are injured and he calls them weak.
• When he was a student, he was focusing on succeeding at any subject, showing how arrogant he is.
  • While he was one of the top student, he was never selected to be a seated officer from the Gotei 13, due to his inability to work with others.
• During his time as a Gotei 13, he injured one of his teammates when exterminating Hollows without remorse.
  • This action got him sent to Central 46, where he tried to defend his action, which got him suspended and subsequently left in disgust.
• When he became part of Squad 3 as the 3rd Seated Officer, he was acting friendly towards those his division, he was secretly in contempt as he had no problem sacrificing them for being deemed weak by him.
  • This action on sacrificing his comrade brought in conflict with Izuru Kira, 3rd Division Lieutenant.
• He also was part of kidnapping Princess Rurichiyo, who was a little girl.
• For all the talk of being an elitist, he was quite a hypocrite, when he used a Bakkoto, a weapon that grow stronger at the cost of taking away his life force instead of a Zanpakuto that relies on a bond with owner to grow stronger through hard work.
• He fought against Kira, and rant on how powerful he is to a lieutenant, but the latter proved superior with his own skills, hard work, and his protectiveness towards his comrades that lead to the former’s death, which was never played with sympathy.
