That makes the ladder span thirteen seats from Yamamoto to Ukitake. Every figure here is the canon opening roster number.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Division 1 against Division 13 to see the full Gotei ladder.
Betrayals and vacancies reshuffle seats later, so rows pin the introduction roster with changes noted. Numbers order seniority loosely, never raw strength, stated plainly. The Zero Division sits above all thirteen and stays out as a separate scale. Lieutenant seats never enter captain rows and stay out too. Bankai power never tracks division numbers and stays out.
