"Big Sis Kūkaku, who once taught me Kido, told me never to treat a single Kido spell as my trump card."
"Without a Zanpakuto, a Kido expert fighting a Soul Reaper who possesses a Zanpakuto has only one advantage: versatility suited to all kinds of situations. Treating one Kido spell as a trump card would instead cause them to lose that versatility."

Inside the newly built Yorozuya in District 38, Duan Mu had specially added a classroom-like room for tutoring the students of the Soul Reaper Academy.
"Mr. Duan Mu, um..."
A timid-looking boy with slightly curled short hair raised his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "If I'm not good at any of Zanpakuto, Hakuda, Kido, or Shunpo, can I still become a Soul Reaper?"

The 9th Division recruits officers who worked as reporters or editors while alive..."
"Some divisions only look at spiritual pressure, so as long as you can graduate, you'll definitely find a division that suits you."
