The Most Extroverted Characters In The Series

Key Takeaways

• Grimmjow is a wild card, always ready for a fight, often getting in trouble for his reckless behavior.
• Kisuke Urahara isn’t afraid to be sociable, sharing weird ideas with a crowd and enjoying being around others.
• Pepe Waccabrada is an energetic love guru, always preaching love loudly, embracing fans despite being a bit irritating.

In a world as dark and gloomy as the one seen in Bleach, it always helps to have a few people around who are able to lighten the mood with their over-the-top antics and willingness to say whatever pops into their minds. Luckily, this immensely popular anime has seen its fair share of characters who could be considered extroverts, characterized as being very sociable, eccentric, and ultimately just the life of the party.

This doesn’t just apply to some of Ichigo’s friends though, but also several of his enemies, who have been known for being very outgoing in their personalities. When the story of Bleach starts heating up, these characters are always the ones who are ready to jump head-first into the fray, no matter how dangerous things might get along the way.

8 Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez

The Unpredictable Wild-Card Of The Espada

• First Appearance: Episode 116

Though the majority of the Espada are presented as being lowly and rather distant characters who prefer to keep to themselves, Grimmjow is the exact opposite. Whether he’s recklessly charging into the world of the living to beat up Ichigo, or lashing out at his comrades for the smallest inconveniences, he’s a wild card who frequently feels the need to act on his impulses.

As a warrior who’s always looking for a fight, Grimmjow also isn’t shy about approaching just about anyone, though he often prefers to let his claws do the talking once he spots his latest victim. His outgoing nature has gotten him into trouble with Aizen on numerous occasions due to being a little too reckless, but now that he’s free from his master’s shackles, the former Espada is potentially more dangerous than ever.

7 Kisuke Urahara

Urahara Prefers Being Around Others Rather Than Conducting Independent Research

• First Appearance: Chapter 13

Despite being one of the smartest characters in the series, Kisuke is never afraid to speak out loud about whatever random and weird ideas are on his mind, even if they have nothing to do with the mission at hand. Additionally, Kisuke can also always be seen with people around him, implying that he’s a character who loves to be sociable.

In his shop, for example, his loyal assistants Ururu, Jinta, and Tessai are always there to keep him company, but once he enters the Soul Society, he greets all the other Soul Reapers with open arms, including his protégé Mayuri. Kisuke also seems to be a massive fan of spontaneous trips, always appearing in the most random of places to have a quick chat, even if said place happens to include Ichigo’s bedroom window, which certainly isn’t weird at all.

6 Pepe Waccabrada

The Love Guru Is The Very Definition Of A ‘People Person’

• First Appearance: TYBW Episode 23

Pepe may only make a brief appearance during his time in the Thousand Year Blood War arc, but he still knows how to make himself known in the limited screen time he’s given. Pepe is a Sternritter who’s obsessed with the idea of love, believing it is the single central component that keeps the world spinning, and as a result, he can always be seen preaching his ideology at the top of his lungs whenever he shows up.

Additionally, being a love guru, Pepe is also one of the most approachable Sternritter in the series, always up for embracing those who fall for his powers. Pepe’s exaggerated personality is admittedly why a lot of fans find him a little irritating, but he’s still undoubtedly one of the most extroverted Quincy’s out there.

5 Rangiku Matsumoto

Rangiku Is Always Up For Sharing A Drink And Getting To Know New People

• First Appearance: Episode 24

Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach, knew exactly what he was doing when pairing up Hitsugaya and Rangiku as captain and lieutenant respectively. While the former is a calm and stoic captain who takes his role very seriously, Rangiku is a fun-loving and largely carefree companion who often tries to bring Hitsugaya out of his shell through pranks and gaffs.

Though she is able to lock in when face to face with a worthy opponent, back at the Soil Society, Rangiku loves nothing more than seeing what fellow Soul reapers she can wrangle together for a drink at the local bar. Being so sociable means she has a ton of friends within the Soul Society, unlike many of her comrades who at least have a few people they’d rather not get along with.

4 Kenpachi Zaraki

Kenpachi’s Thirst For Battle Means He Will Approach Anyone He Deems Worthy

While Rangiku may be hunting down people she can share a drink with, Kenpachi on the other hand is always on the lookout for individuals with strong Spiritual Pressure whom he can engage with in combat. The captain’s undying thirst for battle means that he has no hesitation approaching anyone he views as a worthy opponent, even complete strangers such as Ichigo.

As soon as Ichigo landed in the Soul Society to rescue Rukia, Kenpachi sprinted towards him, eager at the prospect of taking on someone who may exceed his own strength and abilities. Kenpachi is also a man who enjoys screaming out loud whatever is on his mind at that current moment, a prime example being his glee-filled response to Gremmy calling down a meteor in the Thousand Year Blood War arc.

3 Riruka Dokugamine

The Only Time Riruka Dials Down Her Energy Is When Trying To Impress Ichigo

• First Appearance: Episode 343

In a similar fashion to Grimmjow, Riruka feels like an anomaly in her respective group. Rather than deploying a mysterious persona to not draw any attention like the other Fullbringers, Riruka has no problem being as loud and energetic as possible, especially when she has Ichigo in her sights.

Riruka’s more positive and bubbly personality does add a lot more vibrancy to the Fullbringers as a unit and is part of the reason why she’s become such a fan favorite. Though there are glimpses of a more troubled young girl underneath, Riruka can still often be seen as a fun, outgoing, and highly extroverted enemy-turned-ally of Ichigo’s.

2 Nel

Even In Adult Form, Nel Is Just As Bubbly And Eccentric As Ever

• First Appearance: Episode 146

When Nel takes the form of a child, it kind of makes sense why she comes across as so sociable and carefree considering her young age. When she’s not yelling at Ichigo’s opponents or covering him in mucus, Nel enjoys dancing around with her loyal companions Dondachaka and Pesche, or playing tag with any hollows that she comes across in Hueco Mundo.

While it might be easy to assume that Nel would become a little more mellow and introverted as she evolves into her adult form, this actually isn’t the case. Instead, she still retains her child-like optimism and personality which makes her a lot of fun to see on screen, though maybe not as fun for Ichigo, who she will often try hugging to death.

1 Bazz-B

Bazz-B Is A Loud, Bombastic, But Also Immensely Powerful Member Of The Sternritter

• First Appearance: TYBW Episode 3

Bazz-B may be a hothead who’s always touting himself as one of the strongest Sternritter, but he’s not entirely wrong, since he possesses an incredibly destructive set of abilities that make him a deadly force to deal with. Still, whenever Bazz shows up, he’s always trying to be the center of attention and is never shy about letting his emotions run wild if he feels annoyed about something.

This can be seen when Uryu is introduced to the Sternritter ranks. While many of the other soldiers begrudgingly accepted their new comrade, Bazz-B threw a fit and did the same when Renji insulted his stylish mohawk. He may be an outgoing bundle of energy, but it’s also easy to get under Bazz-B’s skin, which is by far his biggest vulnerability.
