Imperfectionist

Introduction

Kurotsuchi Mayuri is a shinigami, the Twelfth Division Captain, and resident mad scientist of the manga/anime series Bleach. This essay operates on the assumption that the reader has familiarity with the plot and terms used within the series, and doesn't mind the presence of spoilers.

Though ruthless and amoral, Kurotsuchi is not a mindless, maniacal caricature of evil as often described or portrayed within fandom. As he is an unpopular character however, (if in large part due to his outlandish appearance) his development and personality is often overlooked or misrepresented, and the goal of this essay is to attempt a more detailed analysis.

If this playing of Kurotsuchi has caused any problems, or if you have any kind of suggestions or questions, please contact me through PM, email, carrier pigeon, or commenting here.

Comments are screened, please don't worry about being too blunt.
