Blazing Courage and Engraved Pride – Ichigo Kurosaki

blazing_courage_and_engraved_pride_by_ichezerlane-d62uwlcIchigo Kurosaki’s powers do not stop where you think they do. Ichigo’s powers seem to be something which is unique to him and him only. Ichigo’s powers have spanned hard and far from Shinigami to Hollow, then Fullbring and Shinigami once more. However it doesn’t seem to stop there, there’s whispers that Ichigo may in fact have Quincy abilities too, the image here illustrates this amazingly well.

The fantastic image above was done by the one and only iChezerlane who’s done an incredible job of creating such an amazing piece of artwork, they have a number of different artwork which you should definitely check out, they’re also very talented at what they do.

The Rise and Fall of the Strawberry – Ichigo Kurosaki

Leave a reply

Being me you’ll be able to notice all the links between these two fantastic images of Ichigo! Ichigo has gone through a hell of a ride during his past teenage years with a whole load happen to him, for example losing his Fullbring as well as regaining his Shinigami Powers, if it was anyone else, they would have already gone insane!

It’s a first that I’m featuring two images, but there’s always a first for everything! So what connections can you make? A lot of things happened which raised a lot more question in the Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be answered within the Thousand Year War!

Both of these images are as you’d say are opposites, one is the rise and the other the fall of Ichigo, if you’re a fan you’ll know that there’s been quite a few parts in which Ichigo has gone through these moment. Some which actually made Ichigo the person he is now.

We can say that the second image happened first as Ichigo’s Fullbring was easily stolen from him by Ginjo, but after Ichigo regains his power from the help of the Captains and Rukia, he has a dead and fiery look in his eyes portrayed by the first image, hopefully it’s the same look he has towards Juha Bach within the Final Arc!

Both of the images are incredible and thus deserve to be featured, the top image was awesome drawn by the talented Inspiriert and the one below was also done by the talented MinatoSama207. Go and check both of them out!

Ginjo, I Will Save You – Ichigo Kurosaki

1 Reply

Bleach Anime Series has been cancelled and it’s been tragic for all of us. Except for these two. On the last amazing episode, Ginjo was killed as well as saved by one person and one person only, Ichigo Kurosaki. Kugo Ginjo’s team, Xcution, tried to save him but in fact they were the ones who were saved by Ginjo.

The image above was drawn by IFrAgMenTIx who has some of the best fan art I’ve ever seen! You should check his profile out by clicking on his name. IFrAgMenTIx made a little story which goes with this moment perfectly. Here it is:

Ginjo: Oi, Ichigo…i have been waiting for you.
Ichigo: What? Do you want to pay me back or something?
Ginjo: ….Ichigo. I wanna thank you. Thank you for trying to understand me and thank you for being my last opponent. I wished I could have spent a bit more time with you, since I got to know your better…
Ichigo: Ginjo…I think I would have reacted the same way you did, if I was the first substitute shinigami..I think I can understand you now.
Ginjo: I got the feeling you really do, Arigato, Ichigo.
Ichigo: It’s time to go, my friend, and thank you,… you know what i mean.
Ginjo: Sayonara…
Ichigo: Sayonara, Ginjo…

Zaraki Kenpachi vs Giriko Kutsuzawa – Bleach 362

2 Replies

During today’s Bleach 362, we saw the fantastic fight between Zaraki and Giriko! Two unlikely characters go head to head in probably the shortest match ever. We saw that Ichigo learns about the First Substitute Shinigami here.

At the time where The Soul Reapers and Xcution members were getting divided, the Zaraki had mentioned that Tsukishima seems to be a lot more powerful than his current opponent Giriko.

Giriko questions Zaraki about this unusual request to change partners with Byakuya which wasn’t fulfilled. Giriko then sees that Zaraki is one hard guy who’s power comes raw within him with the ability to always go full force during his fights.

Here Zaraki saw that Giriko had turned into a large green monster after he had turned a dial on the left of his chest. This increase his highest and weight, he also mentions the simpler the contract with the Gods of Times, the more powerful he is manifested into, therefore since he has only increased his muscle strength he should be pretty powerful.

At this moment, after getting bored at what Giriko had said, Zaraki swiftly slashes Giriko right in the middle on his body within a few seconds. We still don’t know if Zaraki has learned the name of his Sword, but it’d be pretty amazing if he did.

Furthermore we also only see a hint of Zaraki’s sword, so there is no telling if he’s obtained the name. This battle was very short, but it just goes to show how powerful all the Shinigami’s have gotten over the last 17 Months. Also I’m hoping we’ll see some amazing fights in next week’s Bleach 363.

Your Fullbring Is Mine – Bleach 360

3 Replies

A very shocking episode as Ichigo realizes that Ishida is in his side, while Tsukishima and Ginjo are both on the opposing start, the performance Ginjo gave was both convincing as well as dark, since it brought the whole plan together.

We start this fantastic episode with Moe Shishigawara entering the scene to fight Ginjo. Surprisingly, Ginjo could not detect the type of power that Moe has, although Ginjo was somewhat afraid of his power as he wasn’t able to see anything on this hands that would do such a thing.

At this point, Ichigo if fighting Tsukishima, but every blow Ichigo goes to hit Tsukishima with, both Inoue and Chad come and stop him. This allows Tsukishima to get an advantage both in numbers as well as mentally because Ichigo doesn’t fully understand what is going on here.

Tsukishima explains his powers to Ichigo, Book of the End, splits the past. Tsukishima’s Fullbring powers doesn’t manipulate time and memories, but in fact it has the ability to insert Tsukishima’s ‘presence’ into a person’s past, when Tsukishima slices someone like he did with Orihime and Chad.

Tsukishima then taunts Ichigo that he and he only has the only memory which is fake, Ichigo then looses it and attacks him right on, and is stopped Orihime’s shield. Chad then attacks Ichigo, which is stopped by only one hand from Ichigo, showing how powerful Ichigo has gotten just within this form. Chad starts to complain to Ichigo that he didn’t become strong to fight him, but in fact became strong to fight Tsukishima which has currently got Chad under his control.

Ichigo is punched out of the room by Chad’s Brazo Izquieda Del Diablo. Here, Ichigo now has the ability to fight Tsukishima properly, as Orihime and Chad are not going to get in the middle due to them fighting in the air.

We return back to Ginjo’s fight, Jackie Tristan releases her Dirty Boots Fullbring, Giriko Kutsuzawa does the same by releasing his Time Tells No Lies Fullbring. Riruka also releases her Dollhouse Fullbring, which is in the form of a Gun.

Moe then comes behind Ginjo and hits the guard which broke off. His Fullbring Jackpot Knuckle has the ability to control the odds and draw out the jackpot right from the start. Depending on the odds, the higher the odds the more powerful the attack while the lower the odds the less powerful the attack.

Outside, Tsukishima realizes that Ichigo has grown a lot more powerful as he is now able to release the Getsuga Tensho even in Fullbring mode. His powers have reawakened as well as the speed of his attacks are way faster than Tsukishima had anticipated.

Moe is then left to make sure that Ginjo is pushed outwards outside where Ichigo and Tsukishima are. As Tsukishima is going to be hit, Ginjo puts himself in the middle which causes him to be stabbed by Tsukishima.

Ginjo thinks that the effects of his Fullbring will take effect at a point, but in fact he then realizes that his original memories come back, this was due to him being stabbed a second time. This was all a plan for Ginjo to get stabbed once more at a specific time where Ichigo will feel as though Ginjo is his ally.

At this moment, Uryu Ishida appears, Ichigo thinks that, as Ishida was stabbed by Tsukishima, he is on the opposing side. Ishida tells Ichigo to come to Ishida’s side while he has his Ginrei Kojaku. He aims at what seems Ichigo, but as Ginjo gets up, Ishida yells “The guy who cut me, is the guy standing behind you!”, and sends a shot at Ginjo.

At this exciting moment, Ichigo then is cut horridly but Ginjo. He then explains that a second stab from Tsukishima neutralizes the effects from the sword. Ginjo’s Substitute Badge appears and places it over his sword, this changes the guard of it, giving it a skull on the guard. Ginjo ends this episode by saying “Your Fullbring Is Mine” and then stabbing Ichigo with his sword.

What a cruel episode, Ichigo must be going through a bunch of emotions right now, although I’m sure next week’s Bleach 361 episode, he’s going to kick everyone’s ass, since something BIG is coming up! And also don’t forget to tell me what you guys thought about today’s episode.

Ichigo vs Tsukishima – Bleach 359

2 Replies

Ichigo has gone crazy for a while now. In Bleach 359, Ichigo finally gets his chance to fight Tsukishima, but then his best friends, Chad and Orihime appear with confused faces while Ichigo is absolutely shocked by Orihime healing Tsukishima.

We start the episode with Ichigo and Ginjo running away to the hideout. They find out that Yukio is also there, but not to fight. Ginjo asks him how he was able to find them, his explanation was that he had left a type of tracer on Ginjo which allows Yukio to track them.

They are lead to Tsukishima house. They found out that all his friends are there, this includes: Yuzu, Karin, Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro and Ikumi. They are all there so they  can help Ichigo get over the incident about the punch, as well as making Ichigo apologize to Tsukishima for this mistake.

Ichigo becomes angered and runs to find out where Tsukishima is as he wants to kill him for what his done. Ginjo described that Tsukishima can change people’s past memories, which he has done to Ichigo’s friends and family.

Naruto enters a room to find that members of the Xcution are inside, Riruka, Giriko and Jackie all surround him while Tsukishima comes forward. We then see a large enough explosion, Ginjo walks in ready to fight. As Ichigo’s task was to fight Tsukishima, they are able to do so while Ginjo takes Giriko, Jackie and Riruka on.

We see that within this fight, Tsukishima is really surprised to see that Ichigo has been able to quickly gain his Fullbring. He also notices that his Fullbring abilities are way more advanced that he had expected. Ichigo then gets really serious about this match as he wants to kill Tsukishima.

An unexpected attack appears by Chad and Orihime, as they step in the scene. As Tsukishima was previously injured, Inoue quickly heals him with a worried face. Here Chad tries to remind of all the times when Tsukishima was there to help them to conquer and win, during the fight between Aizen and Ichigo or when they went to save Inoue from Hueco Mundo.

Ichigo becomes shocked and looses his concentration, this opportunity allows Tsukishima to get close to him, this makes Ichigo strike his sword and miss. Then Ichigo keeps pushing to kill Tsukishima.

Within the next Bleach 360, Ichigo will have a real tough time while killing Tsukishima as both of his friends Orihime and Chad will be there to stop him, as they have both been taken under Tsukishima’s Fullbring technique. It’s going to be one very emotional yet exciting episode.

Catchup for Bleach 480

Leave a reply

We’ve waited almost 3 weeks now and its nearly time for Bleach 480 to be released. This post will combine most important things from the earlier chapters which you may have forgotten from the three-week wait. I have terribly missed Bleach Manga as it was absent but something that had fed that hole was Naruto Manga, some crazy things have happened there.

So if you’ve read Bleach manga, you would have remembered that Ichigo’s Fullbring had been stolen by Kugo Ginjo himself. This power was then shared out within the Xcution crew. They all had transformed into their Fullbring Form. At this point, Ichigo was stabbed by Rukia with a special sword which had a storage of captain level spiritual pressure from Zaraki, Byakuya, Renji, Rukia and more.

Ichigo was stabbed right in the heart, which meant all the powers had now transferred to him. This meant that Ichigo had instantaneously gained his Shinigami powers back. This time he had looked insanely powerful. The battle began between Ichigo and Ginjo. It all went down as both Ginjo and Ichigo had opened their Bankai.

Renji’s opponent was Jackie Tristan, she lost but still lives. Yukio faced Toshiro and lost, he still lives. Zaraki had a quick match against Giriko, he had died. Tsukishima faced Byakuya, they had an interesting match, he still lives. Moe who faced Madarame lost but still lives. Riruka challenged Rukia, she still lives and still has her Fullbring abilities. And lastly Ginjo faced Ichigo, they both had a fantastic fight, Ginjo died happy while Ichigo lived.

Tsukishima was very angry with his death as he was Ginjo’s apprentice, he looked up to Ginjo. Tsukishima tried to stab Ichigo was Riruka came in the middle to remind Tsukishima that Ginjo had died happy as it was Ichigo who gave him happiness. Injured Riruka was taken back to Urahara’s to recover until she escaped.

Ichigo quickly went to Soul Society to get Ginjo’s body back so he could have a proper burial. As seen in the image above, Ichigo meets most of the captains with the addition of Shinji, Kensei and Rose (Rojuro Otoribashi) as possible new captains. Ichigo confronts Yamamoto to ask his permission for his body to return to the real world.

After all that, you’ve finally caught up from just a few chapters back. Ichigo has really gained some balls to actually go up to Yamamoto to ask him this. Furthermore the episode will release on the 8th February, and once it’s released I’ll be telling you guys all about it. If I’ve missed anything important from this please do tell me by commenting on this post.

Ichigo’s Distress over Tsukishima – Bleach 358

Leave a reply

Within the latest Bleach episode, Ichigo had gone completely crazy after he successfully released his Fullbring Form. Ichigo becomes very stressed after seeing that both his friends and his family are caught under Tsukishima technique.

We start the episode with Tsukishima first visiting Ichigo’s house and act as thought he is their far cousin. As Ichigo enters the living room, he quickly notices that Tsukishima is sitting down on the sofa, the feeling changes quickly from a calm to a dark time as Tsukishima has gotten within the Kurosaki family.

As both Ichigo’s sisters talk to Tsukishima in a normal manner, Ichigo quickly becomes enraged and runs up to Tsukishima and pushes him while holding his shirt to ask him what he’s doing there. Both sisters becomes surprised and try to hold Ichigo back.

The door bell rings and Karin is told to go open the door, at this point his school friends come by which just leads Ichigo to go absolute terror freezing him in one spot, as well as asking himself what is truly happening here. As Ichigo’s friends come by, he spots that they are also both within the control of Tsukishima.

Tsukishima threatens Ichigo by calling Orihime and Chad to prove that they are also within Tsukishima’s control. At this point, Ichigo punches him right in the chin sending Tsukishima back and breaking the window glass. This makes his friends and sisters uneasy as they don’t understand what is currently happening.

Ichigo’s friends quickly make Ichigo apologies but at the heat of the moment, Ichigo is unable to take the pressure making him get out of the room. As he runs out of the room, he notices that Ikumi Unagiya finds him running everywhere. Furthermore, Ikumi takes Ichigo to the shop to rest and talk about the problem. Ikumi tries to help Ichigo by showing that she cares about him and that he should just calm down and open to her, while the door bell rings.

At this moment, he notices that at the door is Tsukishima who is looking for Ichigo. Out of panic, Ichigo once again runs, but at this moment Ginjo pops out of know where within the same situation as Ichigo. The Xcution crew are all under Tsukishima control and all of them have a clear goal, which has currently not been told. At this point, the episode ends at another high.

That was a fantastic episode with both good and bad things happening. Terrifying Tsukishima tries to scare the hell out of Ichigo by inserting himself into the memories of his friends and family. I can no longer wait for the Bleach 359 as that’s going to be another epic episode.

Ichigo’s Full Fullbring Form – Bleach 358

Leave a reply

After a long training scheme, Ichigo has finally reached his Full Fullbring Form. Ichigo has been training with the Xcution group for a long time now, and after some hard determination, Ichigo has reached at the end of his road with his Fullbring abilities.

As Ichigo builds his stamina to help him to cope with his Fullbring abilities. Fullbring is performed using your flesh and blood. To fully control it, you need a crazy amount of stamina.

As seen in the above images, Ichigo’s Fullbring seems to be very unique, it was a unique bone feel to it. The white colored bone type covering covers Ichigo’s face, and whole body from shoulders to feet. From the bits where it is not covered, Ichigo’s skin has turned dark.

We can see that Ichigo has also gained a smaller sword then Zangetsu’s sword. The sword itself has the same color scheme to his Fullbring form, which is with a dark to light color. This time there is actually a grip for Ichigo to hold to. The guard of the sword itself resembles the Substitute Shinigami Badge, as the badge itself has turned into the guard.

Ichigo’s abilities has now dramatically increased such that it has surpassed his old Shikai powers. Ichigo is now able to move from Hollows very quickly, as well as slicing them using only a small amount of power.

Friends with Shukuro Tsukishima – Bleach 357

Leave a reply

Bleach 357 is one crazy episode. Starting off with Ichigo training to perfect his Fullbring, while both Inoue and Chad go to school to have a normal day.

We start of with Orihime and Chad walking to school, they both talk about what Tsukishima’s Fullbring ability is. Both of them have been cut by his blade, but had no effect until this episode. His abilities start to appear within Orihime as her most fond memory of herself and her brother come back, but with a dark figure which has a face looking like Tsukishima’s.

As they arrive at school, they are greeted by Tatsuki and Keigo. Both Chad and Orihime notice that their friends have had contact with someone possessing strong Spiritual Pressure.

When they both go to the Hospital to see how Ishida is doing, they notice that he has escaped from the hospital. As he could have finally remembered who had cut him in the first place.

As they go to the Miyashita High School, they notice that Moe Shishigawara is not there and had to run as the other school kids were running after them. They came to a stop below a railway, at this time Orihime started to see different things which meant that Tsukishima’s powers were taking effect.

Orihime started to see how when she was little, Tsukishima came to help her out or when they went with Tsukishima to Soul Society to get Rukia back. She being confused had an effect as they weren’t able to kill him.

Angry Chad, opens his Fullbring and starts out with a massive explosive attack. Both Chad and Tsukishima start to fight on top of a building while Orihime helps her using her powers.

When Chad is close enough, he opens his Brazo Izquierdo Del Diablo, which really does take an effect on Tsukishima as he is now really injured, even if his quick. Chad shouts for Orihime to attack, at this moment Tsukishima gets Orihime under his attack and her vision of her brother changes to Tsukishima.

Out of panic, Chad attacks and is quickly taken under Tsukishima’s special ability also. This meant that both of them are now under his full control. Both unconscious on the pavement, at this moment, Bleach 357 ends!

Well that was an amazing episode. Really can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 358 episode when Ichigo is really to open his Fullbring. This is when the real panic is going to kick in for Ichigo. All his family and friends will turn on him and make him go crazy.
