Yeah, I come alive, I'll survive, take on anything
So paint a target on my back let 'em come for me
I don't fall, don't quit, don't ever sleep
'Cause, I'm on another level that you'll never reach
If you seek forgiveness
You'll get nothing, you'll get nothing from me
You will never know, it's the price I pay
Look into my eyes, we are not the same
Yeah, this is where you fall apart
Yeah, this is where you break
'Cause I'm in control and you'll know my name
'Cause I gave my life, gave it everything
Yeah, this is where you fall apart
Yeah, this is where you break
To everybody who doubted
Get on your knees and bow down
Get on your knees and bow down
- Bow Down, I Prevail

Bleach Symbolism - Pasque Flower - Squad 2
Popularly pollinated by bees
Soi Fon is symbolized with a bee
Represents rebirth, dignity, nobility, and grace
Rebirth - Trying to embrace a new version of herself, breaking away old patterns
Dignity - Having respect and authority and a Lawful Neutral stance
Nobility - Soi Fon being part of a lower noble house
Grace - Her agility and quick judgment
Represents, âall that is missing in the wintry landscape, and should there come a spring without the regeneration it prefigures, the winter would have grown lethal.â
Basically her ability to grow was stalled and since it wasnât given time to heal it froze over. Basically alludes to Yoruichi leaving Soi Fon behind. Before she left, Soi Fon was happy and thriving, but after she left, Soi Fon froze over, she grew cold without that constant nourishment which was Yoruichi.
Another name for the flower is âwindflowerâ
Soi Fonâs power scheme is wind, as seen in her shunko techniques. It also alludes to her speedy nature as wind is quick.
The flower is primarily purple and yellow in color
Yoruichi + Soi Fon
The flower came into being after Aphrodite, goddess of love, learnt of her partner's death, and her tears became the pasque
This is loaded. It most likely symbolizes Yoruichi abandoning Soi Fon for so long and her not being around causing her grief.
Otherwise, Yoruichi might die??? Hope not, though imagine what kind of huge upgrade Soi Fon would get in order to avenge her death?
Could just overall symbolize her general adoration for Yoruichi, as if she were to die in general it would be heartbreaking for her.
The flower is poisonous
Suzumebachi, Soi Fonâs zanpakuto uses poison, as seen with her fight with Mabashi in the Bount Arc
She is also based on a hornet, which carries venom
Requires sunlight to survive
Yoruichi is Soi Fonâs âsunâ. She depends on Yoruichi for everything and would do anything to serve her.
âRoots are very fragileâ
Could illustrate how Soi Fon feels on the inside. She is very emotional and short tempered. Despite how strong she is on the outside she is actually sad and doesnât know how to control her emotions.
Could illustrate that she had a rough upbringing
âSeeds are hardyâ
Could Symbolize Soi Fonâs strength and ability, sheâs tough as nails!
Could symbolize that she was born into hard work, making her a âhearty seedâ lol
Could also symbolize the âhardinessâ of Squad 2/Punishment Force members
The curve of its sepals reflect sunlight, producing a warm area that insects come and bask in, so do not be surprised if after planting you end up with larger amounts of insects gathering around your garden.
This is very interesting. I think it could symbolize the âwarm spotâ hidden in Soi Fonâs heart despite her cold exterior
Could also mean that if Soi Fon was âplantedâ, an illusion to opening up, she could get more friends/open up more about things
âPasque flower means and symbolizes all that is forsaken in love.â
I think this could represent how Yoruichi abandoned Soi Fon
I think it could maybe represent Soi Fonâs feelings towards Yoruichi that arenât either returned or not demonstrated - Forbidden love?
Purple demonstrates bravery, spirituality, and wisdom
Can be seen in Soi Fonâs bravery. She often leads the charge in things and jumps right into battle.
Could also signify Yoruichi as she is very wise from her many years of experience
Spirituality is interesting, I could only think about the ability to be more in tune with your zanpakuto, which Soi Fon needs to work on for sure, Could also connect to Yoruichi or the past Second Division.
The flower is an âearly bloomerâ
Could symbolize Soi Fonâs lack of a proper childhood as she was immediately thrown into violence.
She is also one to catch on to things quickly and proves to be quite methodical
Perhaps Soi Fon is an early riser? Most likely lol
Middle French passefleur, with pass- meaning âsomething that exceeds or surpassesâ
Could easily symbolize Soi Fonâs ultimate goal to surpass Yoruichi.
Could symbolize the history of Squad 2âs adept fighters. They âsurpassâ expectations.
Butterflies also pollinate itâs nectar
Soi Fon is often symbolized with a butterfly. Her Homounka resembles a butterfly.
Flower is very durable in surviving winter
Could symbolize her ability to withstand the toughest of obstacles
Could symbolize her ability to survive despite struggling to get where she needed to be
Itâs a âsolitaryâ flower
Soi Fonâs cold nature and small list of close friends can make her seem like a lone wolf. Sometimes sheâd rather handle things on her own.
Is considered the âEaster Flowerâ
Represents rebirth/renewal
Represents mourning - Mourning what? Yoruichi leaving orâŚ.a foreshadowed death?
Purple is a symbol of royalty
This connects to Yoruichi (Shihouin clan) being of high noble status, as well as Soi Fon being from a lower noble house (Fon clan).
The flower has been historically found on burial grounds of âDanes and Romansâ and they âgrew from the blood of the folk that fell.â
This is very cool and can stem in many directions.
It would make sense to assume it could be alluding to Squad 2 having made so many sacrifices over the years, so those fallen soldiers
How much blood was shed and why?
Some tie to corruption? Idk I just want it to happen!
Popularly used to dye easter eggs
Could allude to Yoruichiâs affect/impact on Soi Fon
Apparently, these flowers are âBISEXUALâ?
Okay, hear me out. I know a lot of people headcanon Soi Fon as gay, so it kinda adds up.
The overall shape of the flower!
It literally is a flower that appears wilted. Now despite it naturally blooming like this, it gives the impression of something more gloomy. Soi Fon had a rough upbringing, and often appears emotionally charged. And in the times weâve seen her she has a few sad spells.
It could also symbolize the stealthy nature of the stealth force, hence the flower is âhiding.â
