"at some point it just starts to get annoying being the only shinigami that is in squad two and happily bears that crest and takes on its responsibilities."

Jangel....There are multiple other Shinigami in Squad two (Including NPCs).
Those Shinigami also takes on responsibility....Hence why they're higher seats than you O.o

If anyone is confused about who is in what Squad I suggest looking at the OP, it shows who are in what Squad under positions.
That should clear things up.
