Kurosaki Ichigo
His team
Profile -
Ichigo Kurosaki :
Kurosaki Ichigo is the main character of Bleach, who received Shinigami (Death God) powers from a female Shinigami named Kuchiki Rukia. The power came at a cost, as by making Ichigo a Shinigami, Rukia’s powers were lost.
Ichigo lives with his father, Kurosaki Isshin, and two sisters, Yuzu and Karin. His mother Kurosaki Masaki was killed by a hollow while protecting young Ichigo from being attacked by a Hollow.
Ichigo was born with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts and spirits; as such he was able to see Rukia in her Shinigami form. Ichigo also possess an immense amount of reiatsu (spirit power), which he cannot control well. Due to that, his spirit power is constantly “leaking”, which affects the spiritually-aware people around him. Ichigo’s friends such as Inoue Orihime, Sado Yasutora (Chad) and Ishida Uryuu, are all positively affected by his strong spirit power.
Kurosaki Ichigo’s Zanpakuto :
Kurosaki Ichigo’s Zanpakuto is named Zangetsu (Slicing Moon). In his Shikai (Initial release) form, Zangetsu is a giant cleaver with no handguard. He is as tall as Ichigo himself, and its blade is black in color and lined with a silver edge.
When not in use, Zangetsu is kept on Ichigo’s back with an unusual bandage-like sheath. When in battle, the bandage sheath shrinks and wrap itself as the sword’s grip. This bandage cloth can also be used offensively, as first demonstrated by Ichigo’s inner Hollow, where the bandage cloth is used to swing Zangetsu around and attack from far.
Zangetsu’s special attack is named Getsuga Tenshou, which fires a concentrated blast of reiatsu at the enemy from the tip of the blade. Ichigo first learnt this technique from Urahara Kisuke, and later mastered it after discovering its true name.
The Bankai (Final release) form of Zangetsu is considered unique among all Zanpakuto. Named Tensa Zangetsu (Chains of Heave - Slicing Moon), the sword is now an elegant black katana with a square handguard and a short broken chain dangling as the sword’s tassel. In the Bankai form, Ichigo is capable of incredible speed and agility, far superior to Shunpo (Flash step).
Kuchiki Rukia :
Kuchiki Rukia is a Shinigami (Death God) from the Soul Society. During a Hollow attack, she was forced to give up her Shinigami powers to Kurosaki Ichigo, which made it necessary for her to stay in a gigai (faux body) while she recuperates.
Back in Soul Society, Rukia was previously from a lower class. When she was young, she spent much of her time together with Abarai Renji and the rest of their childhood friends. But after she was admitted into the Shinigami Academy, she became adopted into the noble Kuchiki family by Kuchiki Byakuya, and her friendship with Renji became distant. Rukia was then placed under the command of Captain Jushiro Ukitake and Lieutenant Kaien Shiba of the 13th Division.
After spending some time under Kaien, she became close to him. She even had romantic feelings for him, but she tried to suppress them as she knew Kaien was happily married to Miyako, who’s coincidently someone she admired most. Therefore as Byakuya mentioned at one point, the reason why Rukia felt such a close bond to Ichigo was probably due to his strong resemblance to Kaien.
Rukia has a serious personality and is often seen nagging at Ichigo. She is also stubborn at times.
Kuchiki Rukia’s Powers :
Although Rukia has a zanpakuto of her own, she has yet to show her usage of its Shikai form, since during her time in her gigai she do not have access to her zanpakuto. But her greatest strength lies in her strong talent in kidou (demon arts), which is possible to perform while in the special gigai that was given by Urahara Kisuke. During her training in the academy, we witnessed how she was more talented than Renji when it comes to kidou.
Inoue Orihime :
Inoue Orihime is the classmate and friend of Kurosaki Ichigo, whom she has a crush on. She is a friendly and sweet girl who quickly developed spiritual powers of her own after Ichigo became a Shinigami.
Orihime’s best friend is Tatsuki Arisawa. She hangs out often with her and Tatsuki has made a promise to protect her. Although at one point of the series, Orihime managed to use her new-found powers to protect Tatsuki from a Hollow. Orihime is very sensitive and emotional. She would blame herself for not being stronger and be of more help to her friends. She is also very clueless at times. Orihime also has a somewhat large bust, which is occasionally made the subject of jokes.
Orihime used to stay with her brother, who brought Orihime and ran away from their drunkard father and cheating mother. After her brother died from a car accident, she began wearing the hairpins that her brother gave her everyday.
Inoue Orihime’s Powers :
Orihime’s powers come from her hairpins. With them, she is able to summon six fairies called the Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield, and individually they are named Shun’ou, Ayame, Tsubaki, Hinagiku, Baigon, and Lily. Orihime’s powers are mostly defensive, except for her Koten Zanshun (Single Heavenly Cutting Shield) technique, which involves firing Tsubaki at her enemy with such power that he can split enemies into halves. Her most incredible power is the Soten Kisshun (Double Heavenly Reflecting Shield) technique, which Orihime would summon Ayame and Shun’ou, and they would form a shield around an injured person. The shield reverses time, thus returning the injured person to an earlier state, effectively healing all wounds. The last of Orihime technique is the Santen Kesshun (Triple Heavenly Binding Shield).In this technique, Hinagiku, Lily and Baigon are summoned to form a giant triangular shield which repels any attacks directed at Orihime.
Orihime first realized her powers when she had to protect her best friend Tatsuki from a Hollow attack. And so far, the Hollow has been the only thing that Orihime has ever killed.
Other than her fairies, Orihime knows karate as well. Thanks to Tatsuki, she is able to attain black belt level .
Sado Yasutora (Chad ) :
Sado Yasutora, also known as Chad, is the classmate and friend of Kurosaki Ichigo. Chad is a huge and muscular teenager who was brought up in Mexico. He is also extremely tough, protecting Ichigo with his body from punches, recovering from a steel girder falling onto him, and colliding with a motorcycle and still able to carry the motorcyclist to the hospital. Although physically strong, Chad is actually a very quiet and gentle person.
Chad was born in Okinawa, Japan. But during his youth, his parents took him to Mexico. Unfortunately, they died there and Chad was left all alone, until he was adopted by a man named Oscar Joaquin de la Rosa. Chad calls him Abuelo (grandfather in Spanish).
During his youth, Chad was very violent due to his strength and size. Abuelo tried to teach him to be gentle, but was unsuccessful. Until one day, Chad was getting beat badly and Abuelo stepped in to protect him. Abuelo stood there, taking every punch and never fought back. Eventually the enemies left, and Chad vowed that from that day on he’ll never fight, unless it is to protect others.
Chad has a tattoo on his left shoulder that reads “Amore e Morte” (Love and Death). It is made up of a heart, a snake and a pair of angel wings around the heart. Chad is also known to be fairly good with his studies in school.
Sado Yasutora’s Powers :
In the beginning, Chad had no powers. Neither can he see Hollows and spirits. But during the encounter where he saved Ichigo’s sister, Karin, from a Hollow, he began to see them. It was also during same encounter where he first realized his powers, which is in the form of an armor on his right arm. The armor is black in color, with white and red stripes and a Y-shaped design near the top.
With the armor on, Chad is capable of firing powerful blasts of energy. And after being trained by Shihouin Yoruichi, he learnt to fire multiple blasts a day and hardly gets tired.
Ishida Uryuu :
Ishida Uryuu is the classmate and friend of Kurosaki Ichigo. Ishida has a quiet personality, and most of the time he shys away from the crowd, prefering to be alone. And sometimes, he tries hard to act cool.
Ishida is a talent when it comes to sewing. He is a member of the school’s fine arts club, and helps fellow members to fix up things like stuffed toys when they asked. At one point of the seires, Ichigo approached him to sew up Kon, which he ended up going the extra mile and adding fancy clothings for Kon.
Ishida also possess great intelligence, as he tops the school in terms of academic achievement. At one point of the series, Ishida also demonstrated his intelligence by solving a puzzle to a game of illusional maze.
In his youth, Ishida spent most of his time with his grandfather, Soken Ishida. It was his grandfather who trained him in the way of the Quincy. Ishida do not have a good relationship with his father, Ryuken. His father was also against the way of the Quincy, mentioning that he would rather care for his own wealth and income than to protect the people from the Hollows.
And later on during his youth, Ishida’s grandfather was killed by Hollows in front of his eyes, and he could do nothing to save him. And the Shinigami (Death Gods) who were responsible at that time for the protection against Hollows, were late to save his grandfather. This is part of the reason why Ishida came to hate the Shinigami.
History of Quincy
Ishida is known to be the last surviving Quincy. The Quincy are a group of spiritually aware humans who sworn to fight the Hollows, using spiritual bows as their means of fighting. But the Quincy are now near extinction due to the extermination by the Shinigami about 200 years before the main Bleach storyline.
The main difference between a Quincy and a Shinigami, is that Shinigami “cleanses” a Hollow’s spirit, sending them back to the Soul Society, whereas the Quincy deals a killing blow to the Hollow, destroying it forever. The Shinigami soon realized that the Quincy’s actions could soon lead to a disruption to the balance of the human and soul worlds. But the Quincy refused to heed their advices, which eventually led to a war started by the Shinigami to exterminate the Quincy.
This tragic past has caused Ishida to hate all Shinigami. Hence, when Ishida first met Ichigo, he had deep hatred for him.
Ishida Uryuu’s Powers :
The Quincy’s bow is summoned by drawing spiritual energy from the environment and directed using willpower. In the beginning, Ishida’s bow was that of a normal Quincy’s, named the Koujaku (Yellow Sparrow). But at a later point of the series, he mastered the Sanrei Gloves left for him by his grandfather. This allowed him to create an impressive bow. And if the Quincy of this bow breaks the spike on the gloves, he will receive a surge of extremely powerful energy which even a Shinigami of Captain level could be defeated. But after a certain time limit, the Quincy is left powerless, and no longer able to use any Quincy powers.
After mastering the Sanrei Gloves, Ishida was able to use a technique named Hirenkyaku, which allows him to move at speeds comparable to that of a Shinigami’s Shunpo. Another rare technique, which is known to typically be usable only by high level Quincy, is the Ransotengai . By using this technique, Ishida was able to control his body as one would a puppet. Strands of spiritual energy strings his body together allowing him to fight effectively even when he is physically paralysed.
Kaizo Konpaku ( Kon ) :
Kaizo Konpaku is the cute lion plush toy that is often addressed as Kon by his friends. Kon is a modified soul (mod soul) whose purpose is to inhabit Kurosaki Ichigo’s body while Ichigo is in his Shinigami form. This is important so Ichigo’s body won’t lie motionless and be exposed to dangers. So while Ichigo is inhabiting his own body, Kon is being kept inside the body of the lion plush toy.
Kon’s purpose in the series is mostly for comedy’s sake, adding a nice humorous touch whenever he appears. He whines and complains a lot, and he always finds himself being treated with no respect, such as being pushed around by Ichigo and getting dolled up by Ishida Uryuu.
Kon’s Powers :
While Kon is in Ichigo’s body, he is rather proficient in unarmed combat, although not quite good enough to defeat stronger Hollows. He is known to be capable of running extremely fast as well. And in a recent episode, Kon proved useful for being a plush toy when he, together with Ichigo, Ishida and Abarai Renji are trapped in a maze.
Urahara Kisuke :
Urahara Kisuke is the owner of the Urahara Shoten (Urahara Shop), and it is ran by Urahara himself together with Ururu Tsumugiya, Jinta Hanakari and Tessai Tsukabishi. Most of the time, Urahara is very cheerful and appears to be a very laid-back person, although he can get serious whenever the situation warrants it. He also gives the feeling of mystery and elusiveness.
Throughout the series, he is a very “behind-the-scene” character, popping in only when necessary, and never intervened directly. And hence the series has yet to show him fighting someone for real.
The reason why Urahara seems to be so knowledgeable is due the fact that he was the former captain of the Gotei 13’s 12th Division, and was also creator and head of the Shinigami Research Institute. After being sentenced to exile for creating an untraceable gigai (faux body), his positions were taken over by Mayuri Kurotsuchi. And ever since then, he has stayed in the real world, tending to his Urahara Shoten.
Urahara also seem to enjoy fanning himself a lot with his white-colored paper fan.
Urahara’s Zanpakuto :
Urahara’s zanpakuto is named Benihime (Crimson Princess), and is one of the very few female zanpakuto. When sheathed, Benihime appears as a thin cane. She has a seal on the end of the sheath which allows Urahara to forcefully make Kurosaki Ichigo go into his Shinigami form - which is something Ichigo hates because it hurts.
When unsheathed, the round part of the cane becomes the sword’s hilt. And when Benihime goes into Shikai form (Initial release), she no longer resembles a cane. Her hilt becomes elaborately designed with a golden chain and a red tassel.
Benihime’s Bankai (Final release) form has yet to be revealed.
Shihouin Yoruichi :
Shihouin Yoruichi is a very skilled dark-skinned woman who is capable of transforming into a black cat at will. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, and has been playing a role akin to a teacher and instructor for Kurosaki Ichigo and his friends.
Most of the time, Yoruichi is shown to be very serious, although she does enjoy teasing Ichigo by transforming to her naked human form without warning.
Before Yoruichi left Soul Society, she was the Commander of the Covert Ops (also known as Special Ops and Secret Mobile Unit/Corps). And she was also from one of the Four Noble Families, making her a highly respected woman back then. But ever since helping Urahara Kisuke escape from Soul Society, she has lost her noble status and had to leave Soul Society as well.
Shihouin Yoruichi’s Powers :
Perhaps the most notable technique that Yoruichi possess is the ability to transform into a black cat. It allows her to disguise herself and move to places where her human form might’ve caused difficulties. Her cat form also changes her voice to one that is deep and sounding like a male’s.
The other technique that Yoruichi was most often seen used is the Shunpo (Flash Step). The technique allows her to teleport short distances with every step she takes, resulting in very fast movements. While many high-level Shinigami such as Kuchiki Byakuya can perform Shunpo as well, Yoruichi is the best at it. Her Shunpo is so good that she is given the title of Shunshin (Goddess of Flash).
Yoruichi is also a master of hakuda (hand-to-hand combat) and kidou (demon arts). And combining the two, she has mastered an extremely powerful technique named Shunko (Flash Release) which she is yet being able to control well. The technique allows the user to concentrate high amount of energy in their body and blast it at opponents. This is also the reason why Soi Fon’s (previously Yoruichi’s) military uniform has no back and sleeves, as they get shredded to bits when kidou pressure builds up on the user’s back and shoulders.
Okay ByeBye now !!
