Ginjou Kugo is the leader of the Xcution organization and the first temporary Shinigami in history, whose fate was crippled by the betrayal of the Soul Society. Having received from Juushiro Ukitake a temporary Shinigami badge, which in reality was a tracking and power-limiting device, Ginjou became disillusioned with the Shinigami and turned his hatred against them. Gathering other Fullbringers around him, he devised a cunning plan to seize Ichigo Kurosaki's powers, but was defeated and died. After death, his soul entered the Soul Society, where he went from enemy to temporary ally, returning Ichigo his lost bankai at the decisive moment.

Time will forever try to catch up with you. And with a crash, it will catch you. Do not look ahead. Hope lies only in that unpredictable current that will close behind your back.

— Ginjo Kugo
