Bleach hierarchy

Ghost-types Guide:

Souls There are two type of Souls - Plus and Hollow. Plus is the most common one that roams around places and does no harm, but those with strong regrets in the current world will bind themselves to their focus of regret by the Chain of Fate. If the focus is a person, they become 'obsessed spirits', and if the focus is a place, they become 'earthbound spirits'. Hollow, on the other hand attacks other beings (mainly those with high-spiritual density) and eat their souls.

---

• Earth-bound spirit

Those who are naturally assimilated with the land. They will only show itself when someone trespasses their territory.

• Grand Fisher

A name given to an infamous hollow who hides his body from being seen while his neck protrudes a lure that takes on a human shape, and devours souls with high spiritual density to increase his own strength.

• Hollow

All hollows are formerly human's souls or Plusses. There are many reasons why the Plusses become Hollows - they're not brought to the Soul Society by a Shinigami, escaped from Soul Society, not protected by other Hollows, or when they wanted to fill their empty heart and seek out their loved ones in their past life. Those who has become hollows eat souls to ease their pain and suffering, and cannot revert back to a normal soul.

• Menos Grande (Arankal)

- Gillian - Gigantic hollow that is born from hundreds of hollows that pile and mix

- Ajuukaru - Much smarter and stronger than a gillian, like a vice-captain compaired to a seated officer. Not many of them exist or so it is thought!.

- Vastoorode - Looks like a shinigami and is much stronger than your average captain. Not many are known to exist the few that do exist are only seen in Hueco Mundo. It is said that 10 of them would bring destruction to the Soul Society.

• Plus

Plusses are the soul that has been seperated from the original body and would not harm any other creatures. However, they have the potential to become a Hollow because of several reasons, whether they are willing or not.

• 'Target' Leech

Not a hollow, but it's actually part of the main hollow called Shrieker. It does have a little willpower, and does not feel any pain at all.

Bleach Factoids #2

Soul Society

The Soul Society is the place where all souls go after a shinigami has sent them over to the next side. Shinigami's protect the normal souls from hollows and any other evil things that may attack. This is where all the shinigami's are located it is the Gotei 13, the 13th divisions of strong shinigami that police all the souls and do as there superiors tell them. You can only enter the Soul Society if you are a soul. Once in the soul society you age very slowly and can't turn into a hollow after your life chain goes away.

Bleach Factoids

The factiods are bits of information that dont really fit in any categories at all....below you will find the needed information about the soul-society and Bleach logos...etc as more information becomes available the more information will be add to the factiods.

General Information on Hollows

Hollows are fallen souls. They are souls that were not admitted into the Soul Society by a Shinigami and were not saved from other Hollows. Souls that have a strong grudge or sadness can also become Hollows because they are left alone. The reason these souls are left alone is because they are difficult to perform the Konsoh on. They then either become Hollows themselves or get eaten by other Hollows and become Hollows.

There are two ways a soul can become a Hollow: a Hollow eats the soul or in time the soul will become a Hollow on its own. If a soul is given time to become a Hollow, it will normally take several months. When a fallen soul becomes a Hollow, the hole in their chest open and their Chain of Fate detaches, symbolizing the loss of one?s heart and becoming a chunk of mere instinct. The skull-shaped white mask serves as a shield, which protects the exposed instinct from external damages. The moment the Demi-Hollow (A spirit on the verge of becoming a Hollow) becomes a full-fledged Hollow, it will first disperse and reform at a different location. It will also give out fearsome scream and be in more pain than it was as a Demi-Hollow.

Since the Hollow has lost its heart, it feels an emptiness that they want to fill. In order fill this void, they will first attack their loved ones. However, when a powerful Hollow consumes a soul, that Hollow now controls that soul.

Once a soul becomes a Hollow, it cannot go back to being a soul. It will always be a Hollow. Shinigami exist to not to kill Hollows but to cleanse their soul so they can return to the Soul Society.

Bleach Lyrics #1

Opening Theme #1 - Asterik By: Orange Range Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
Once, twice, the bell toll echoes, far and wide in the heart.
Like in a story, stellar droplets fall and inside narrow tracks are built.
In time, the times will move.
The drifting stars will quietly move.
Close your eyes, listen closely..."why?"
G-O-O-D Bye!
Release the light.
Don't give up, be strong!
Now let 'em out, until they reach someone.
The light of Glory lies just beyond here, it's the story we all create together.
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
The thoughts and wishes of the past will cross the ages, and arrive just as vividly.
In your sparkling eyes, someone's scream is reflected, "Feelings on the wind, Today I'll live life to the fullest, too."
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
The thoughts and wishes of the past will cross the ages, and arrive just as vividly.
One day, our feelings will reach someone's heart, as well.
Shine on!
Like that star

• Opening Theme #2 - D-tecnolife By: UVERworld

You've been hurt by unspeakable pain and sadness.
Let's carry each other's indelible stains.
Don't give up on living!
I held your hand.
Will I end up losing them someday?
I want to protect you and your fading smile, so,
Even if the resounding voice calling me should wither,
Even if the mingling winds should tell me,
I will find you!
You've been hurt by unspeakable pain and sadness but,
Don't ever say things like "I can't laugh" or "I hate people."
There's meaning in everything that happens in the unseen future,
So stay as you are for now, I know there'll come a time when you realize it.
You and me, two are spoken.
Someday we'll understand each other.

• Opening Theme #3 - Ichirin no Hana By: High and Mighty colour

I can't tell if you're the same person i know,
but there could never be a replacement for you,
Don't ever wither,
you lone flower.
Bathing just perfectly in the light,
it's almost as if you've blossomed from it.
all the emotions you've spread over the land...
Let them out!
I can't tell if you're the same person i know,
but up till now, and from now on,
even if i made enemies
with everyone other than you...
Even if that day came,
i'll always protect you, so do not lose,
you lone flower.

• Opening Theme #4 – TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT by: Beat Crusaders

Woke up with yawn. It's dawning, im still alive.
Turned on my radio to start up new day
As goddanmed DJ's chattered how to survive
Amazing news got over on the air wave
Tonight, Love is rationed
Tonight, Across the nation
Tonight, Love infects worldwide
Almost another day
She's a shooting star, good night, good night
She's a shooting star, good bye
Tonight, Love is rationed
Tonight, Across the nation
Tonight, Love infects worldwide
Almost another day
See you some other day

• Ending Theme #1 - Life is Like a Boat By: Rie Fu

Nobody knows who I really am.
I never felt this empty before.
And if I ever need someone to come along, who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong?
And still, the journey goes on.
Even on tranquil days so long.
And each new phase of the moon shines upon my heart with boon.
So we offer a prayer.
Waiting for a new day to share.
Until the brilliant blue sea dries up completely.

• Ending Theme #2 - Thank You By: HOME MADE KAZOKU

For the people who always hold me up,
I put my daily thoughts into this Rhapsody.
Deliver my feeling of appreciation.
Thanks for always.
Thanks, for real.
No matter where you are, I'm grateful for your presence.
When the twilight city was bathed in vermilion.
I walked the streets without a care.
In the afternoon, when crowds of comer and goers swell,
I tried just sort of standing still.
When a tiny gap that opened in my heart,
I tried to fill it by learning cell phone manners.
You're not alone, just look.
We'll hold each other up.
For the people who always hole me up,
I put my daily thoughts into this Rhapsody.
Deliver my feeling of appreciation.
Thanks for always.
Thanks, for real.
No matter where you are, I'm grateful for your presence.

• Ending Theme #3 - Houki Hoshi By: Younha

Alone, I looked up into the nighttime sky and I saw a comet.
I wanna met it right this second but I can't fly through the sky.
If, perhaps, I got the chance to become a comet,
I know I'd shoot across the sky and fly away.
I'll reach you for sure on this momentary beam of light.
I will shine light on your present and tour the sky.
If I got the chance to become a comet,
I know I'd stay by your side, for always.

• Ending Theme #4 - Happy People By: Skoop On Somebody

Everybody stand up,
We're all fightin'.
Inside we're all anxious,
But keep your head right up,
To the sky.
What ever the time (Oh yeah)
Wherever I am (Oh yeah)
Just call me anytime (Oh yeah)
I'll help you out!
Happy peoples in the house,
Wearin' a tough smile.
Happy peoples in the house,
We'll keep on livin'.
Happy people.
Happy people.

• Ending Theme #5 – Life by: Yui

All the days of the past are what I am now.
Because it’s not simple to go on, I can live.
Moving at a fast pace, people pass by each other.
“Did your dream come true?”
I’m still struggling.
Instead of going back to childhood, I want to live well now!
I was born a coward.
I went to a place where the sun shined,
and tried to see if I could hold this hand tightly.
I broke that place; that time.
I can change my life!
But I can’t convey everything that’s in my heart.
Because it’s not simple to go on, I can live.

Setting/place

A view of Seireitei in Soul Society.

The planes of existence in the Bleach universe broadly correspond to the life and afterlife of human belief systems. The living humans of Bleach reside in a world resembling the present day; buried souls live in a kind of Heaven called Soul Society; evil souls are sent to Hell. Once in Soul Society, a spirit is able to live longer than humans in the living world, with many aging into the thousands of years. Once a spirit dies in Soul Society, its soul is sent back to the living world and reborn as a new human. This provides the two worlds with balance.

* Human world: The human world of Bleach is modern Japan, specifically, a fictional area of Western Tokyo called Karakura Town. In this world, Ichigo attends school and fights hollows. Places of note are the high school, the Urahara Shop, the river where Ichigo's mother was killed, the cemetery, Karakura Hospital, and Ichigo and Orihime's homes.

* Soul Society: Soul Society consists of an expansive walled city (Seireitei, "Court of Pure Souls"), in the center and four regions, each with 80 districts, outside of it. The districts outside of the Seireitei are known as the Rukongai ("Town of Wandering Spirits") and are the place where non-shinigami and commoners live. The district number of the Rukongai (ranging from 1 to 80) also describes its conditions. District 1, the closest to Seireitei, is peaceful and orderly, while the most distant District 80 is filled with criminals and has the poorest living conditions. A king resides in another realm within Soul Society.
* Hueco Mundo: Hueco Mundo is the desert-like area between the human world and Soul Society. Literally meaning "hollow world" (the word hueco can also mean "empty"), it is where hollows reside when not hunting in the human world or Soul Society, and where they are undetectable. Entrances to Hueco Mundo are created by ripping the dimensional fabric between the two worlds.
* Hell: Hell is the destination of those who committed unforgivably evil acts during their lives in the human world. When a hollow whose mortal soul is too wicked to enter Soul Society is slain by a zanpakutō, the gates of hell (giant doors held by skeletons) appear and begin to open. A giant, laughing spiritual being with a blade spears the wicked spirit and drags it down into hell.

Bleach characters move from world to world by several means. Shinigami open passages between worlds by means of their zanpakutō. Butterflies created during soul burial, called hell butterflies, make these routes safe. Human souls usually cross between planes only through birth into the human world or soul burial by shinigami. Living humans can also use special portals to move between worlds, but this is dangerous. While hollows are portrayed as able to move between planes at will by opening rifts in space, they usually remain in Hueco Mundo due to the risk of discovery in Soul Society or the human world. Encounters between characters crossing realms are a driving plot force in Bleach.

Bleach Character types

All Bleach characters are "souls". Living humans contain souls within their bodies, while disembodied souls, or spirits, have a form composed of particles of spiritual energy called ectoplasm, which otherwise mimics human anatomy, aside from slowed aging. This form encompasses all of the spirit's being; there is no distinction between mind and body. There are a variety of different types of spirits in Bleach, each with a differing visual theme and approach to combat. The specific types are described below.

* Human: The humans of Bleach are much like the residents of modern Japan, and most cannot see or sense disembodied spirits in any way. Spirits can, however, inhabit artificial human bodies called gigai which are visible to ordinary humans. One in 50,000 humans is a medium with some awareness of nearby ghosts, but only a third of these are able to see them clearly, and only the strongest of mediums are able to speak with or touch ghosts. Certain unique humans naturally have both the power to sense and the strength to fight with spirits. Ordinary humans can gain the ability to interact with spirits by spending time around a large source of spirit energy.
____________________________________________________________________
* Plus: Benign ghosts in Bleach are known as pluses (wholes in the official English editions). A plus is the spirit of a person who has died. A chain, known as the Chain of Fate, protrudes from the chest and binds the plus to a location, object or person that they felt close to in life.The soul can move about freely if the chain is broken, but this also causes the chain to corrode. Normally, pluses are sent to Soul Society by shinigami in a ritual called soul burial before this corrosion becomes significant. If the Chain of Fate is corroded entirely before a soul burial can be performed, a hole will form in the chest of the soul where the chain was once anchored. Such souls are driven mad and become evil ghosts known as hollows. If the Chain of Fate is torn out deliberately, this also leads to spiritual degradation.
____________________________________________________________________
* Shinigami: Shinigami (Soul Reapers in the official English editions, Death Gods in most subtitled versions) are the psychopomps of Bleach. They are souls with inner spiritual power, recruited from the ranks of the residents and nobility of Soul Society. Like all spirits, they cannot be detected by normal humans. Shinigami use their zanpakutō, supernatural swords that are the manifestation of their owners' power, to perform soul burials on pluses. Shinigami also use zanpakutō and magic known as kidō to fight their archrivals, the hollows.A group of shinigami known as the vizard have also obtained hollow powers through illegal means, gaining removable masks and access to certain hollow abilities.

* Hollow: The hollows are the major antagonists of Bleach. They are evil ghosts who reside in Hueco Mundo but travel to the living world to feed on the souls of the living and dead alike. Like shinigami, hollows are made of spiritual matter and cannot be detected by ordinary humans. While the majority of hollows can be overcome by the average shinigami, there are some which surpass even the most elite shinigami in strength. All normal hollows wear white masks, but a small group of hollows have broken them, becoming arrancar. By shattering their masks, these hollows regain the ability to reason, obtain a humanoid form, and gain access to shinigami powers.

* Artificial soul: Artificial souls are a type of soul mass-produced by the shinigami.Issued in pill form, they are used to force shinigami out of their gigai during protracted stays in the living world, and also to evict pluses that refuse to leave their bodies after death. They come with a pre-programmed personality that animates the host body until the owner returns. In addition to the mundane versions, a series of experimental souls authorized and created by shinigami researchers exists. Known as modified souls, these were meant to hunt hollows by possessing soulless human bodies and supercharging a particular aspect of them (for example, strength or speed). The shinigami decided to scrap the project due to the inhumanity of forcing dead bodies to fight, and ordered the destruction of all modified souls. Only one modified soul exists in the manga, but there are three more such characters in the anime.

* Quincy: The Quincy are a clan of spiritually aware humans who once fought against the hollows, using weapons composed of spiritual energy to slay them. As opposed to shinigami, Quincy absorb and channel energy from their surroundings to fight. Unlike the shinigami method of killing hollows which allows the hollow to enter Soul Society, the Quincy technique simply destroys the hollow's soul entirely. This method has the propensity to shatter the balance of the universe, because when souls are destroyed, the number of souls entering and leaving Soul Society cannot remain equal. This issue prompted the shinigami to conduct a campaign to exterminate the Quincy about 200 years before the main storyline. At least two Quincy still remain.

* Bount: Exclusive to the anime, the Bounts are a clan of human beings with high spiritual energy and special powers. They were accidentally created by shinigami scientists looking for a way to create eternal life. Bounts consume the souls of human beings to survive; theoretically, a Bount could live forever by doing so. Although the Bounts have a strict rule to consume only the souls of the dead, the final group of Bounts chose to drain souls from living humans in order to become more powerful. Each Bount uses a "doll" in combat, a type of familiar possessing its own special abilities. Every doll is unique and is a manifestation of the user's power. If the doll is destroyed, its owner is destroyed as

Bleach Guide

Bleach is a new anime series that follows the life of a 15 year old boy by the name of Kurosaki Ichigo. Ichigo is not any average boy; he has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. This stems from his other unusual trait: awesome, untapped Spiritual energy. Ichigo does what he can for the spirits he meets, until a Hollow (evil soul spirit) attacks him and his family. To the rescue comes a female Shinigami (Death God) named Kuchiki Rukia. Rukia chases the Hollow off, and is astounded by the fact that Ichigo can see her and the Hollow, which most mortals cannot. She explains that Shinigami have two duties: to lead the “Pluses” (good souls) to their rest in Soul Society, and to exterminate Hollows, who endanger them. All Shinigami carry a Zanpakutou, or Soul Slayer, with which they can release the Pluses and kill the Hollows. These Zanpakutou resemble katanas in their shape and size. The Hollow comes back at this point to menace the pair again, and Rukia is badly wounded. She thrusts her Zanpakutou into Ichigo’s body, intending to transfer enough of her power into him to enable him to destroy the Hollow….except his soul takes all her power, and combines it with his own, which enables him to dispatch the Hollow with ease. Thus begins Ichigo’s journey, as high-school student and part-time Death God! To find more you can go the website link at the right side

other main char

Orihime Inoue
Orihime Inoue is a long-time classmate of Ichigo, closely linked to him by mutual friend Tatsuki Arisawa. She is effectively an orphan, as she and her elder brother Sora ran away from their abusive home at a young age, and her brother later died. Though initially devoid of spiritual powers, she begins to develop spiritual awareness and later possesses one of the most powerful healing abilities in the Bleach universe, able to completely restore a body to its previous state regardless of how severely it is wounded.

Yasutora "Chad" Sado
Yasutora Sado, better known as Chad, is one of Ichigo's few friends at school. He is a half-Japanese, half-Mexican student who towers over his classmates. Despite his imposing appearance he is quite meek, and refuses to fight unless it is for the sake of another. He does not have awareness of ghosts at first, but when he witnesses a group of children being attacked by a hollow he discovers a unique ability that strengthens and armors his right arm, enabling him to fight hollows.

Kisuke Urahara
A mysterious and cheery man, Kisuke Urahara runs the Urahara Shop, a candy store that also sells supernatural items to shinigami. Despite his sanguine nature he is one of the most significant figures in the Bleach universe, bearing immense knowledge of the spiritual realms which he uses to mastermind the operations of the protagonists.

Uryū Ishida
Though on the surface nothing more than the solitary class genius, Uryū Ishida is actually a Quincy, descendant of a line of priest-like hollow-hunting archers. He bears a deep grudge against all shinigami, including Ichigo Kurosaki, but comes to view Ichigo differently over time, eventually becoming an ally and friendly rival.

Renji Abarai
Renji Abarai is an elite shinigami bearing the rank of 6th Division lieutenant, making him second in command of a sub-branch of the shinigami armed forces. Although first introduced as a deadly enemy, he has conflicting loyalties between his job and Rukia, with whom he grew up. A brash and driven man, he holds both a deep respect and animosity towards his immediate superior, 6th Division captain Byakuya Kuchiki.
