Furthermore its shown that Ichigo reaches his house without even going to get his body back to get his body back, he can’t face his father so goes to get help from Ikumi when Isshin Kurosaki appears in his Shinigami form, he definitely wants to talk to Ichigo about his past!

Bleach 528 begins as Ichigo is dropped of at his house, he notices that he’s currently not in his Shinigami body, and that Urahara left his body at his shop. He calls for Urahara’s names when he realizes that he’s still in Hueco Mundo, he wonders who could have taken his body, he realizes that it could have been his father, he hears the door open when Ichigo runs away!

It seems that he’s gone to Ikumi’s place to get some companion ship, she mentions that the one time he comes to visit he comes in the rain with a terrible face, just like a school girl. He says that he’s sorry about this, he talks to himself mentioning that it’s a good thing that Urahara isn’t there, as they’re with Orihime and Chad. Plus he doesn’t know how he can talk to Isshin, his father.

He comes out of the shower, out of nowhere, a boiling hot dumpling is thrown at his face, which Ikumi just made. Ikumi mentions that she’s also dried his cloths, so he can put them back on and go home. She also mentions that it’s a good thing that he came there whilst her son was sleeping because she doesn’t know what he’ll do when he’s there. Ichigo mentions that he’s sorry that he’s always skipped his job but at a time like that he comes there at a time like that.

She smacks her head against his telling her to stop saying sorry and do the job properly. She mentions that she doesn’t care if he feels sorry, lonely or whatever, she  feels as though she’s his older sister, she mentions that she can rely on her whenever he needs it. She mentioned once before children should rely on adults. Ichigo is shocked, he mentions how she can feel that she’s his sister when she’s like 10 years older than him. She goes for the kick when he stops it.

She’s shocked at Ichigo that he said something like that after he mentioned something like that. Someone knocks at the door, Ikumi opens the door and it seems like she can’t see who it is and dismisses the knock and closes the door. However, it seems that Ichigo can clearly see that the person who walked in is a Shinigami, this Shinigami is his father! Isshin Kurosaki.

Ichigo mentions that he’s thankful for everything, and now it’s his time to go home, she gives him her umbrella for the rain. After he leaves it seems like Ichigo had forgotten his Substitute Shinigami badge. She calls for Ichigo’s name but he’s no longer there, she mentions that she’ll just go and give it to him tomorrow. They reach home, Isshin talks asking Ichigo if he wants some of his cooking, Ichigo tells him to quit it.

Ichigo mentions that he came to get Ichigo in his Shinigami outfit, he must already know what happened. He heard from Urahara what happened to him, that he broke his Zanpakuto and that the Zero Division took him. He mentions that he was sent back there, he calls this a coincidence as he knew that it would happen. Also there is no way for him to fix his broken Bankai at this point.

Isshin tells Ichigo that he doesn’t know anything about himself, thus he won’t be able to do anything, Ichigo grabs him and in shock he doesn’t know what he wants to do. Ichigo told Isshin once that he’d wait until he felt it was the right time to tell him, during the fight with Aizen. Isshin mentions that it’s not the time!

He tells him to listen carefully! He’s told that he’s not a Shinigami, he’s not just a human either! Isshin goes on to mention that his mother was a, something which isn’t mentioned. We move onto the past when we see Isshin on the floor as the rain pours on him. A girl arrives asking him if he’s okay. Isshin mentions that he’s a captain who gets saved by a girl.

She appears and tells him that she’s going to heal him so she shouldn’t move, Isshin asks her how she could kill a Hollow all by herself, he asks what she is, she introduces herself as Masaki Kurosaki, and then she goes on to mention that she’s in fact a Quincy who has extraordinary powers! Bleach 528 ends here!

A great chapter, we’ve finally found out the real thing about Masaki and how both of them met for the first time! What a fantastic chapter, and Ichigo’s depression is going to turn to something that even he might not realizes! Can’t wait for next week’s 529, when we could see more of what happened between Masaki and Isshin.

Ichigo’s Form Evolution – Fullbring to New Bankai Look

After Ichigo lost his Shinigami powers, he returned to his normal self with no power’s at all.  He trained with Ginjo to retain some of his Shinigami Powers to protect his family and friends from harm. The evolution of these forms go from right to left.

On the right hand side, Ichigo wears a grey school uniform with red zip which he usually doesn’t zip up. The next one down, after training with Ginjo for a while, Ichigo’s Combat Pass opened up. The form after this, Ichigo develops a Clad type Fullbring with a sword. Ichigo then develops the so-called “Power Ranger” form with an actual sword with a real solid form.

Ichigo then looses his Fullbring Form to Ginjo, and gets stabbed by Rukia and his Shinigami Form get restored. There are some hints of his Fullbring Form left. Ichigo unleashes his Bankai during his fight with Ginjo, he is no match for Ichigo’s unbelievable high power and looses.

The fantastic image was drawn by IFrAgMenTIx. He’s got some of the finest Anime Art, so you should definitely check him out.

Ginjo’s Death – Lost Substitute Shinigam Arc Ends – Bleach 366

There couldn’t be a more fantastic episode which brought The Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc to an end. Ginjo is defeated by Ichigo, Tsukishima angers and tries to kill Ichigo while Riruka pops out from Rukia’s chest to stop Tsukishima. Riruka gets on her way while Ichigo goes to Soul Society to get Ginjo’s body to give him a proper burial.

We start the episode as Ichigo keeps on fighting while Toshiro, Byakuya, Zaraki and Ikkaku watch to see what Ichigo’s decision is. They do this and return back to Soul Society, Rukia interrupts them to ask why they aren’t helping. They remind Rukia that they originally came there to see what Ichigo’s choice was.

Toshiro explains that the Soul Society was aware that once the next Substitute Shinigami appeared, Ginjo would set his sign on him sooner or later. At this point, the Soul Society would use the Substitute Shinigami to track down Ginjo and eliminating both of them. At the point of contact with the Substitute Shinigami changed the Soul Society. They had shared their powers with him as well as watch his actions as they dispatched their captains rather then kill him. At this moment, Toshiro and the others are glad that the Substitute Shinigami was Ichigo and no one else since he was the only person to change the rigidity that the Soul Society had in more then a million years.

We carry on with Ichigo and Ginjo’s fight as Ichigo jumps from place to place very quickly. At most points Ginjo is able to block the attack but unfortunately not be able to get a hit on Ichigo. Ginjo thinks of how he wanted to crush the Shinigami’s who betrayed him. He had expected Ichigo to argue with his plans, but at this point Ichigo is no where near angry, he seems as thought he wants to understand how Ginjo works, and look at the situation from his perspective.

Ginjo launches a Cero from the point of his sword to find out that Ichigo has the power to directly stop it only by using hand. Ichigo raises his sword and cuts him with a direct attack. They both fall to find that they’ve broken the ground. They both keep fighting for a few more seconds, when Ichigo strikes Ginjo and breaks the top of his sword. Ginjo then falls to the ground as he’s unable to fight any longer. He wonders if they both would have been friends if the situation was different.

At this point, Tsukishima comes out from no where to attack Ichigo from the back, Riruka senses this, as she’s located within Rukia’s chest. She opens the door and pops out to sop the attack from Tsukishima. She tells him to face the facts. They couldn’t save Ginjo, as he saved them. She then states that the only person to save Ginjo was in fact Ichigo.

A small past part appears where Ginjo is telling Tsukishima that instead of going by himself, he should tag along with Ginjo so they wouldn’t be lonely. Tsukishima says that Ginjo had tought him everything, from using his powers to fighting. But one thing he didn’t teach him was what to do when he had died. He chokes blood, Tsukishima finds Shishigawara in front of him who’s there to help him. He realizes that he is no longer alone.

Yukio see’s Jackie Tristan. He compliments on how she’s alive and how that’s nice. Yukio notices that Jackie’s Fullbring Dirty Boots have been completely turned useless. Jackie had found Giriko’s watch and dead body, so she had buried them together. She also mentions that he had died with his powers and how much envy she has for being able to die with her Fullbring abilities.

Riruka wakes up as she heal from her injuries. She see’s Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime there. Ichigo mentions that he wasn’t able to find anyone else from the Xcution  as they may have either died or gone their own way. She turns to her side to find Orihime cheering her along as well as crying as she’ fine and not hurt.

We return to the Soul Society. A report comes to tell Yamamoto that Ichigo is there as he needs to talk to them. All other captains find out about this and gather up in Yamamoto’s chamber. Ichigo walks up to them to find out that Kensei, Hirako and Rojuro are there. The chamber opens.

Ichigo requests Yamamoto that he wants to take Ginjo’s body for a proper burial. Hirako appears to tell him that he shouldn’t such a thing as he had hurt his family and friends. He then asks if he would forgive such a guy. Ichigo replies that it isn’t about if he is forgiven or not. He’s family and friends are fine now and no longer in danger. He then replies that he wants to do this since he is a fellow Substitute Shinigami, and that Ichigo will continue to be a Substitute Shinigami.

Ichigo starts to take the body of Ginjo back to where he should be buried. He says he’s goodbye’s and that he and Rukia will seen each other more often from this point on. Ichigo runs through the port and the light beam goes up. As the episode end, other captains and friends of Ichigo look at the light that shines up.

Ichigo returns to Karakura Town to find he’s friends below him waving at him. His father, Isshin and Urahara as well as Yoruichi are all looking at him. He waves and looks at the sky. The episode ends with how Bleach Episode 1 started.

Ichigo Kurosaki / 17 Years Old
Hair Color / Orange
Eye Color / Brown
Occupation / High School Student & Substitute Shinigami

The episode ends here. This could possibly be the last Bleach Anime Episode! Here and Now! The episode was great and all but it’s possible that the anime version wont be aired anymore. Ichigo has really grown really powerful, and amazing that the story is making other characters involved, which I like. There is one more Arc left “The Thousand-Year Blood War” which isn’t going to be a let down! Anime needs to be back!

Rukia doesn’t know about Ukitake’s Plan!? – Bleach 475

Why does it seem to me that Rukia has no idea that Jushiro Ukitake has been behind this.

If Ginjo’s theory is true, about everyone being behind Ukitake’s plan (To keep an eye Ichigo by the Soul Society to absorb, analyse and control Ichigo’s Reiatsu using the Combat Pass), then Rukia is in a wait to know whats really been going on. I’m guessing she is going to be disgusted by what the Soul Society is doing.

During Bleach 475 manga chapter, Ichigo’s New Bankai Form and Ginjo’s Bankai Form were both revealed. They had a bit of a chat about whats really going on, and in fact Ichigo was in the known to what Ukitake was doing. He just believed that with his powers, he could save his friends and family.

When Rukia becomes conscious she realizes that Ichigo is still in the pocket reality made by Yukio’s Invaders Must Die. She notices that Zaraki, Madarame, Hitsugaya and Byakuya are there doing nothing. In Rukia’s Inner thoughts “With this many captain-class fighters, if we launched an all-out attack, can we really not break apart that box?”. This is not about destroying the box, but actually waiting for something to happen. I’m pretty sure that they could easily break the pocket reality with in swing. But what are they waiting for? Could they be waiting for Ginjo to tell Ichigo about the truth about the Combat Pass?

“Is there some other reason? Some reason why we shouldn’t attack? Just what are we waiting for?”, I presume there is, this to me gave it away that Rukia supposedly may not know about Ukitake’s Secret plan. Here the pocket reality/dimension breaks apart due to Ichigo’s Bankai, it’s that powerful!

So this weeks Bleach 475 Manga contained a number of surprises, from Rukia’s unknown to the secret to Ginjo’s Bankai. I really can’t wait for Bleach 476 to be released next week!

The Truth about The Shinigami Badge and Ichigo Kurosaki – Bleach 474

Bleach 474 is what I call an EPIC Chapter! Today’s chapter has opened up a whole new story to Bleach anime and manga! Tsukishima is finally defeated! Ginjo is all that is left… but in that instant, a shocking truth is revealed…!

In Bleach 474, Ginjo tells Ichigo that he’s being used by the Soul Society, not as a Substitute Shinigami but as an outsider towards Soul Society. The chapter starts out in Urahara’s Shop with Isshin and Urahara making sure that Orihime and Sado are okay. Looking at both their faces, they look really worried and unhappy because they know that Ginjo will show the secret instead of prolonging the secret anymore.

At where Ichigo, Uryu and Ginjo are, Ichigo is told ”Why do you think that you were given your badge in the first place?”, as always Ichigo has no answer to this question. “When they gave you your license, they probably said something like this: If a Substitute Shinigami is classified as a ‘benefit’ to Soul Society, they will award you with a badge”. Ginjo drops the bomb on Ichigo, “That’s a Lie!”, Ginjo goes on to say “A benefit, or a danger, they award you a badge either way.”

Ichigo asks Ginjo what the Shinigami Badge’s true purpose is, Ginjo spills the beans, “The Badge’s true purpose is to Observe and to Restrict You!”. The Badge is a surveillance device as well as a device to absorb, analyse and control your Reiatsu. Ichigo was given the badge to be controlled by the Soul Society!

Kugo Ginjo also reveals to Ichigo that the man behind this scheme is “Captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jushiro!” During this moment of revealing the true identity of person behind this dangerous scheme, Ichigo became furious! Uryu noticed that it wasnt a good moment to be talking about such a topic since Ichigo has a very short anger span, getting angry is his specialty. “We were both conned! By the most peaceful man of the Gotei 13 himself”, Ginjo then says, “He wanted to see us, to control us, and use us as Soul Society’s Pawns! and above all, to execute us should be rebel!”

This secret has been known by everybody in Soul Society except for Ichigo himself. In that instant, Ichigo shouts to blow away all hesitation! and says the special two syllable word , “BANKAI!”

Now that chapter was EPIC! Ichigo’s New Bankai Look will probably be revealed in next’s Bleach 475 Chapter! This new story within Bleach is just the start! Keep reading and watching Bleach! Enjoy!

“What? That can’t be! Ichigo wouldn’t…” Rukia? – Bleach 349

In today’s episode, we saw a little bit of a inside into the future of The Lost Shinigami Arc. This post is mainly for people who don’t read Bleach manga.

Okay so, the Combat Pass/Shinigami Badge suspectingly started to make some kind of noise. What came through were a few words. They were “What? That can’t be! Ichigo wouldn’t…”. Ichigo identified these few words to be from Rukia.

The fact that the message came from Rukia just tells me that something is going on at the Soul Society. Since I’m a avid Bleach Manga reader, I can guess and get what’s going to happen here and get it right.

Since I hate people spoiling things like this, I wont spoil it for you guys also. However I do want you guys to guess by commenting below what’s going to happen here! I’ll start it off for you guys, Rukia’s talking, what kind of message do you think that gives?

The kind of thing that Rukia said, gives me a clear idea of what kind of people the Xcution are, if they’re the good or bad guys ;) . But to you guys, you can tell me what you guys think!

Keep reading, watching and loving Daily Anime Art! Bleach 350 airs next week!

Ichigo learns his Fullbring and defeats Crazy Beast Mode Doll – Bleach 349

After a long week waiting, Ichigo finally learns a little about how he could protect he’s friends and family. He also defeats the pink plush even when its during crazy beast mode.

As we saw last week, Ichigo was fighting a large plush which had a man inside of it, this man was put into the doll by Riruka. They are all fighting inside a dollhouse which Riruka’s powers work in. Read about Bleach 348 here.

Okay so, Bleach 349 is a pretty interesting episode, we find out a little about Ichigo’s fullbring, for example, he’s Fullbring can only work when Ichigo has the Combat Pass in his hand and that he’s Fullbring can be used for shielding Ichigo as well as sending a round dark red object into the opponents body.

“Just as every battle you’ve fought is etched into your soul, it is etched into the sould of the tool in your hand. Each time you hold the Combat Pass after a battle, the Combat Pass etches the memory of that battle into its soul.” is what Kugo Ginjo explains how Ichigo gained a little bit of he’s power.

The guard-shaped Spiritual Pressure only comes out when Ichigo is holding the Combat Pass. Since this is a shield type weapon, Ichigo isn’t able to defeat the plush. So what he does is he holds the Combat Pass with two hands and in a split second he feels a sensation. This sensation was of the Getsuga Tensho! This allows him to produce a circular object which spins and hits the plush doll therefore paralyzing or killing him. “He did it!” Riruka states!

So this was just some of the full Bleach 349 episode, keep watching, continue reading and keep Bleach 350 in your mind for next week!
