How Old Do You Think They Really Are?

[Mayonnaise]

This was a random thought that popped into my head last night.

You know how Ichigo, Uryuu, Orihime and Chad are all 15 years old?
Well, I was just wondering, how old do you think Urahara, Yoruichi, Kenpachi, Byakuya etc. are? There is no right or wrong answer... I was just curious on what you guys thought.

My guess for Urahara and Yoruichi would have to be 2500 years old.
They both are very good friends and they both look about the same age and they both used to be Soul Reapers so I'm just going to guess 2500.

Urahara is at least probably 200 years old, after all he became a captain 110 years before the story began, Byakuya is probably around 120 years old as he was a kid during the turn back the pendulam arc in the manga which started 110 years before the story began, Yoruichi is probably also at least 200 years old (as she and Urahara are around the same age)

Um..I dunno..
Sakura seems to have a pretty good understanding of it.
I'll go with her answer ^^;

My personal theory for Bleach ages goes like this:

When a person dies, they get reborn into Soul Society, as a young child. If they ever make it to the level of Shinigami or high-reiatsu entities (like Ganju and his sister), they tend to have long lifespans- like, around 10~50 human years corresponds to one year of physical aging- some crazy ratio like that.

Now, Ichigo has basically skipped the stage in between ordinary (dead) soul and ascension into Shinigami (directly from live human soul to Shinigami). He's still technically 15, but I think his physical body will age at a much more rapid pace than his spiritual body.

I think at some point during the anime Hitsugaya had a flashback to, what, 50 years ago when he was still a captain- he hasn't changed a bit, thus my theory that it's a 50 human year to 1 physical year ratio idea. I still think the captains being more than a few millenia old sounds ridiculous- that means that they died before (approximately) Christ's lifetime. But I guess it's the best possible explanation.

Real old.. Yamamoto should be thousands of years old.. ^0^

Yamamoto, Shunsui, Ukitake, and Unohana have been mentioned to be the only remaining original captains. Soul Society is around ~2000 years old, but it's unknown how it was structured back then. We can assume all four of them are at least 2000. Chances are they are much older.

Rukia is 150 since she told Ichigo that she has lived 10 times longer than him.
By that status we can assume that Renji, Momo, Kira and a slew of other current characters are around the same age since they entered soul society together.

Hitsugaya is obviously younger, but it's hard to pin how much so.

However, It's hard to determine anything for anyone else.

I'm pretty sure that Rukia is 150 years old, personaly me, I think that Soul Reapers age at a 10th the rate humans do.....So I'm guessing Renji would be 160, Momo 150, Toushiro maybe, 120 or 140, Yamamoto would most likely be over 1000, and Ukitake and Kyouraku would be.....maybe.......1000 or a little less considering how they are the oldest captains^^

[ClaYhOkEn!!!]

probably 20 O_O

[KhronoBM]

I know Rukia isn't apart of this but didn't Rukia say in an episode "I've lived over 500 years" or am I mishearing things?

[haddad287]

probably 20 O_O
Ya, I also think around that age

Wow you really have a good understanding of that, but Rukia said that she had lived about 15 of Ichigo's live times, meaning that she would be somewhere around the age of 250 or older, since she said about. Not only that but she also said that she had only been living with he older brother, Byakuya, for only 40 years. So since Renji Abarai, Hinamori Momo, Kira Izuru, and Hisagi Shuuhei all pretty much went to the shimigami academy at the same time we can all pretty much estimate that their all around the same age as Rukia. While Kotetsu Isane, Iba Tetsuzaemon, Ise Nanao, Matsumoto Rangiku, and Shiba Kaien are probably a little older than the other vice-captions. Where as Kuusajishi Yachiru is younger than all the vice-captions, but is probably older than Ichigo and the others. And Kurotsuchi Nemu, being created by Kurotsuchi Mayuri, her age is probably younger than Kuusajishi Yachiru.
Now as for the captions, we can estimate that Ichimaru Gin is about the same age as Matsumoto (Since they grew up together). But Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni is probably thousands of years old. While Kyouraku Shunsui and Ukitake Juushiro were the first two students of Yamamoto's we can guess that they are a few hundred years or so younger than him. Now as for Kuchiki Byakuya, since he was just a child during the Turn Back the pendulum arc in the manga, we can guess that he's about 100 years or so older than Rukia. And we could probably take a good educated guess that Aizen Sousuke is about a good hundred years older than Byakuya. Now since Soi Fong is about a hundred years or so younger than Yoruichi, and Yoruichi is about the same age as Unohana.

I hope this is help full and not as confusing as it seems. :wacko: lol :laugh:
