Main article: Zanpakutō

Zanpakutō are the primary weapons of the shinigami and the embodiment of a shinigami's power. They are sentient weapons, each with its own unique spirit, which can take the form of either an animal or a person. Normally, zanpakutō manifest themselves as regular swords (usually katanas). They can transform at the owner's will (provided the owner is skilled enough) into their initial released form or their true and final released form.

Each zanpakutō has its own realm, into which they can call their owners if they wish (although this also depends on the owner's skill). This is where the avatar (human or animal) form resides. If the owner is skilled enough, he can call this form forth to the regular world. It appears that an avatar is reflective of the owner's own nature; in chapter 229, Yumichika Ayasegawa and Rangiku Matsumoto complain about the personality flaws of their zanpakutō, which incidentally match their own.

Kūkaku Shiba
Below is a list of Soul Society dwellers, some of whom may be shinigami, even though this information is not confirmed.

• Kūkaku Shiba (志波 空鶴 Shiba Kūkaku?) - Voiced by: Akiko Hiramatsu (Japanese), Jessica Straus (English)
Kūkaku (Born October 1) is an ill-tempered fireworks expert who is particularly known for her ridiculously themed houses. Like Orihime Inoue and Rangiku Matsumoto, she has rather large breasts. She wears a prosthetic right arm in the anime, which is at odds with her scenes in the manga, where she is illustrated with just a stump. She assists Ichigo and company by launching them via a special cannon so they can enter Sereitei. Kūkaku is part of the former noble clan Shiba. A hollow fused with her brother Kaien, which forced Rukia Kuchiki to kill him. She does not seem to be a shinigami, but she knows high level kidō, and she carries a short-bladed sword on her back.

• Ganju Shiba (志波 岩鷲 Shiba Ganju?)
• Hisana Kuchiki (朽木 緋真 Kuchiki Hisana?) [Deceased]
Hisana was Byakuya's wife who died of a disease fifty years before the main storyline. As she was a commoner, Byakuya was prohibited from marrying her, but did so out of love, thus disobeying the rules of the Kuchiki noble house. She was the older sister of Rukia Kuchiki in their past lives, and both were sent to Inuzuri (a poor district of Rukongai) where Hisana abandoned Rukia, unable to support both herself and Rukia. Hisana later greatly regretted this decision, even in her final moments, and as a result Byakuya adopted Rukia as his sister, in accordance with Hisana's dying wish, disobeying the rules a second time. She and Rukia are very similar in appearance.

OTHER CHARACTER


Don Kanonji

• Don Kanonji (ドン・観音寺 Don Kan'onji?) – Voiced by: Shigeru Chiba (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English)
Don Kanonji is a popular spirit medium who has a television show called Ghost BusT that, at the time of his introduction, is watched by 25% of Japan's population. He later formed the Karakura Superheroes, which consists of the Kurosaki sisters and the children at the Urahara Shop, to get the show's declining ratings up. The method in which Don Kanonji used to rid ghosts, thinking he was sending spirits to heaven, actually quickly caused those spirits to become hollows (he would take his cane and forcibly rip open the holes in spirits that hadn't fully changed into hollows yet). He found this out when he and Ichigo Kurosaki fought a hollow that appeared because of Don Kanonji during a television taping at Karakura Town. His special attack is "Golden Kanonball," a tiny ball of golden light that moves slowly and explodes with surprising power. He speaks in a mixture of Japanese and English. His trademark pose is to cross both arms over his chest and laugh boisterously and deeply. His most famous sentence is Smells Like Bad Spirit!, that is a tribute to Smells Like Teen Spirit, one of Nirvana's songs.

• Yūichi Shibata (柴田 優一 Shibata Yūichi?) [Deceased] – Voiced by: Makoto Tsumura (Japanese), Colleen O'Shaughnessey (English)
A supposedly cursed "parakeet" (actually a cockatiel) that found its way into Chad's protection, Yūichi is actually the ghost of a young boy tormented by a vicious hollow. He is guided into Soul Society by Ichigo and eventually meets up with Chad again.

• Oscar Joaquin de la Rosa - Voiced by: Tadashi Hirose (Japanese), Kim Strauss (English)
Often referred to as Abuelo, (Spanish for grandfather), he is Yasutora Sado's adopted grandfather, living in Mexico. He teaches Chad to be gentle and not use his physical strength to hurt and intimidate people. Chad honors his memory by protecting a Mexican coin given by De la Rosa with his life.

• Midoriko Tōno (遠野 翠子 Tōno Midoriko?)
Midoriko is Yuzu and Karin's friend and schoolmate who has seen Ichigo while possessed by Kon's spirit. She is frequently threatened by Karin into forcing herself to believe she has seen nothing out of the ordinary whenever something strange happens, especially when it involves Ichigo. According to her diary entries found during the sketches of volume 14, Midoriko is also usually blamed for Karin's carelessness (such as forgetting to water the class' chrysanthemums) and also has a crush on Keigo Asano.

• Sora Inoue (井上 昊 Inoue Sora?) [Deceased] – Voiced by: Yuji Ueda (Japanese), Liam O'Brien (English)
Sora is Orihime Inoue's older brother. He raised her for most of her life, and died in the Kurosaki Clinic from wounds suffered in a car accident three years before the series begins. He enters the story quickly as a hollow, Acidwire. In the anime, he is seen dragged to Hueco Mundo to be turned into a hollow at the behest of Grand Fisher. This is not shown or even suggested in the manga; one can assume that his feelings of being forgotten by Orihime were what prompted his transformation in this case. His name is Kakei in the official English-language manga translation, but he is still called Sora in the character popularity polls. Curiously, before being purified by Ichigo, Sora was able to remove his hollow mask and recover his original personality. While such an act has been described as the process which creates an arrancar, Sora remains in hollow form, albeit with a human head. Presumably, this is because of Sora resisting his hollow self, rather than the hollow itself removing the mask.

• Yama, Mit, and Toshi
Yama, Mit, and Toshi are three skateboarders who briefly appear in the first chapter and are beaten up by Ichigo for breaking a bottle with flowers that he put as a memorial for a ghost. In the English translation, they are referred to by one member as "Li'l Yama," "Li'l Mitch," and "Li'l Toshi" respectively.

• Shigeo and Harutoki – Shigeo: Voiced by: Brad MacDonald , Harutoki: Voiced by: Steve Staley
Shigeo and Harutoki are two friends of Chad. Shigeo lives on the money he makes from his part time job and is easily upset when he does not get to eat.

• Raku, a.k.a. Karakura Lion Jet
Raku (named "Cammy" in the English version, as raku means "camel") is the spirit of a cat that Yuzu Kurosaki once fed. In its attempt to follow Yuzu home, it was killed by a passing car. It returns sometime later as a spirit of itself with unusually high spiritual power, attracting hollows. When the hollows endanger Yuzu, it transforms into a lion to protect her. Don Kanonji, who organized the Karakura Superheroes in response to the hollows it was attracting, dubs it the "Karakura Lion Jet" upon first seeing it. He also claims it as the team's "hero mecha" (a common staple in Super Sentai-styled anime), despite it not being mechanical. Transformed, Raku exhibits impressive speed and can surround itself in flame. After the hollow is defeated, Raku, having fulfilled its purpose, passes on. Nobody other than Yuzu knows that Raku is actually the "lion jet". Yuzu and Karin compare Raku to their brother, Ichigo.

• Ganryū (巌龍?) - Voiced by: Masashi Ebara
Ganryū is the leader of the "Dark Ones" in Bleach: Memories of Nobody. In the film, he tries to use a shinigami named Senna to disrupt the balance between the worlds, collapsing both

Modified souls
Modified souls are artificial souls created by Soul Society researchers some time ago. They have enhanced speed and strength when compared to normal humans, and often special abilities which set them apart from each other. However, the modified souls were considered an unethical experiment and most of them were destroyed. Urahara saved at least one of them, Kon (コン?). In the anime's Bount arc, three more are introduced.

The Bount arc modsouls


Noba, Kuroud, and Ririn with their creator Kisuke Urahara
In the anime's Bount arc, three more modified souls are introduced. Created by Urahara, they are designed to track and combat the Bount, as well as help train Ichigo and his companions, although at first they're seen as a threat while doing so. They originally live in gigai created by Kisuke Urahara, and have the ability to sense the spiritual presence of the Bount. However, early in the Bount arc, Kisuke asks the trio to primarily remain in plush doll bodies like Kon to remain inconspicuous.

As modsouls the three possess special abilities, but their abilities involve altering reality rather than physical enhancements. They change from plush animal to human gigais frequently when they need to fight, because their powers are in a very limited state when in their plushie bodies.
These modsouls only appear in the anime. The story following the return to the manga plot has been slightly altered to accommodate their presence without changing the overall course of
events.

• Ririn (りりん?) Voiced by: Yumi Kakazu
Ririn, while in her gigai form, is a small girl with short blonde hair wearing a pink fur coat, a purple bird-shaped cape, and red boots. When not in her gigai', she inhabits an anthropomorphic bird plushie. Her special ability is the creation of illusions. She acts as the leader of the trio, and has a fondness for games. She is partnered with Ichigo Kurosaki. At first she disliked Ichigo due to their conflicting personalities, but now she's rather infatuated with him, becoming extremely jealous of Rukia Kuchiki's close relationship with Ichigo. She can be petty and arrogant at times, but she shows real concern for her friends. She often looks down on Kon as inferior, which causes frequent arguments between the two.

• Kuroud (蔵人 Kurōdo?) Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita
Also known as Claude or Cloud, Kuroud is a bespectacled man with a mustache and two-tone hair color (black to the right, yellow to the left). He wears a gray top hat, multi-colored suit and tie, as well as dark brown boots, giving him an appearance similar to a circus manager. His plushie body is a rabbit-esque purse. He is partnered with Orihime Inoue. He has the ability to shapeshift, and can replicate the abilities of others when he does so (although he can't replicate the power levels of said abilities). He is somewhat cowardly and is terrified of snakes. His longwindedness and actions often provide comic relief. He is also somewhat perverted, like Kon, or at the very least is thankful for the opportunity to be held by attractive women (being a purse helps in this regard). Rukia seems to like him because he resembles Chappy the Rabbit in his stuffed animal form.

• Noba (之芭 Noba?) Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita
More commonly known as Nova, Noba is a handsome young man in a fur coat with a shield on his back and a zippered mask, with a slim build, red hair, and aqua eyes. He inhabits an anthropomorphic turtle plushie in grey dress trousers and a white ruffled shirt with a red bow tie when out of his gigai. He's very quiet, rarely speaking more than a few words and also rather shy, zipping up his hood when he blushes. He is partnered with Yasutora Sado, who is equally quiet. He has the power to teleport himself and others to most any location he's been to. He can also use his spiritual sense to teleport to the location of those with spiritual powers. Additionally, he can create wormholes to redirect ranged attacks, both physical and energy based, back at the enemy. He can also absorb fire. When he is in his plushie, his teleportation range is limited to about two meters.

Bounts

Main article: Bounts in Bleach
The Bounts are a clan of humans with supernatural powers comparable to that of the Quincy. Bounts consume spirits in place of food, which allows them to live longer; theoretically, a Bount could live forever given steady access to spirits. Bounts traditionally don't consume the souls of living humans, as it is an ancient taboo and also causes aging, defeating the purpose of absorbing souls to remain young. According to Urahara, the Bounts are called vampires in certain parts of the world. Like shinigami, Bounts can seal their power in inanimate objects. Unlike shinigami, they do not create zanpakutō, but dolls with various special abilities. Additionally, unlike zanpakutō, the dolls have active personalities and can operate independently.

Shun Shun Rikka

Main article: Orihime's powers
The Shun Shun Rikka (盾舜 六花, lit. Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield; Six Princess Shielding Flowers in the English anime) are six spirits which embody Orihime Inoue's power. They are capable of shielding her from attacks, healing allies, and attacking enemies. They made their first appearance when a hollow attacked Orihime and her classmates, and it was because of the desire to help her attacked friend Tatsuki Arisawa that the spirits appeared. The six spirits are manifestations of Orihime's soul, each with its own unique appearance and personality.

• Ayame (あやめ) - Iris (plant) - Voiced by: Ayumi Sena (Japanese), Dorothy Elias-Fahn (English)
Ayame is a shy female spirit covered in a dress larger than her body. She is capable of healing together with Shun'ō.

• Baigon (梅巌) - Ume - Voiced by: Kiyoyuki Yanada (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English)
Baigon is a bald male spirit with a mask that covers the bottom of his face. He is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Hinagiku and Lily.

• Hinagiku (火無菊) - Daisy Bellis perennis - Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (Japanese), Kirk Thornton (English)
Hinagiku is a male spirit with a large eyepatch that ends in a horn. He is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Baigon and Lily.

• Lily (リリィ) - Lily Lilium - Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
Lily is a female spirit with bright pink hair, transparent goggles, and a blue bathing suit. She is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Baigon and Hinagiku.

• Shun'ō (舜桜) – Althea Althaea officinalis - Voiced by: Junko Noda (Japanese), Philece Sampler (English)
Shun'ō is a friendly female spirit with a topknot. She and Tsubaki are usually the ones who talk to Orihime. She is capable of healing together with Ayame.

• Tsubaki (椿鬼) - Camellia - Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese), Wally Wingert (English)
Tsubaki is a fiery male spirit who is the only Shun Shun Rikka capable of direct attack. He often strikes anyone who gets on his nerves (including Orihime). Because he is primarily focused on attacking, he is vulnerable to counter-attacks and has been injured several times. The stronger Orihime's anger and killing intent, the more powerful he becomes. However, Orihime's timid nature limits his overall power and has contributed to his injuries in the past.

Vizard

Main article: Vizard


The vizard, from left to right: Kensei Muguruma, Lisa Yadōmaru, Hachigen Ushōda, Hiyori Sarugaki, Love, Mashiro, and Rose. Shinji Hirako is absent from the lineup.
The vizard are outcast shinigami who have gained hollow powers.

• Shinji Hirako (平子 真子 Hirako Shinji?)
• Hiyori Sarugaki (猿柿 ひよ里 Sarugaki Hiyori?) Voiced by: Reiko Takagi (Japanese)

Hiyori is a tiny, blonde-haired girl with a fierce temper and violent tendencies. Her hair is worn in pigtails and she wears a red jogging outfit (which is decorated with the first kanji of her name). She also has a tiny fang on the right side of her mouth. Hiyori often abuses Shinji, usually by slapping him with one of her sandals. Her hollow mask is rhino-like in appearance, sporting a prominent horn centered near the forehead. She took the longest to defeat her inner hollow out of all the current vizard (excluding Ichigo, who took about the same amount of time), at 69 minutes and 2 seconds.

• Hachigen Ushōda (有昭田 鉢玄 Ushōda Hachigen?) Voiced by: Takashi Nagasako (Japanese)
The physically largest vizard, Hachigen wears a tuxedo and has a skull and crossbones design in his pink hair. He is usually referred to as Hachi (ハッチ, sometimes translated as 'Hutch'), but his actual name is Hachigen. He seems to be a binding spells expert, since he is always the one in charge of making barriers and such for the vizard's use. He seems to also have powers similar to Orihime Inoue's, and he was the one who healed Tsubaki's injuries when Orihime's own powers were insufficient to do so.

• Lisa Yadōmaru (矢胴丸 リサ Yadōmaru Risa?) Voiced by: Kanako Hattori (Japanese)
Lisa is a girl with glasses and long, braided, dark hair. She dresses in a sailor fuku, as opposed to the more Western-style uniforms of Karakura High School students. She seems easily irritated and apparently likes to read erotic manga (specifically, Josei manga). She appears to be ambidextrous, initially wielding her zanpakutō with her left hand (like Ikkaku Madarame) and then switching to her right during her fight with Ichigo.

• Love (ラヴ/羅武 Ravu/Rabu?) Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (Japanese)
Love is a tall man sporting sunglasses, a spiked afro, and a jogging suit. He seems to be very laid back, usually reading Shōnen Jump or some of Lisa's erotic manga in his spare time. He and Rose seem to be close friends. His zanpakutō's hilt is in the shape of a heart, and he carries its sheath on a touju hanging from his shoulder like a messenger bag.

• Rose (ローズ Rōzu?) Voiced by: Shouto Kashii (Japanese)
Rose is an effeminate man with long, wavy, blond hair and a frilly shirt. He seems to be interested in music, as he spoke to Love about an artist's new single and has been seen playing or tuning a guitar on several occasions. Rose seems to be delighted that a person with powers similar to a vizard exists. He also appears to be one of the calmer and perhaps wiser ones amongst the group due to his comments about Orihime in regards to Hachi, though he becomes irritated whenever Love spoils a manga's story for him. His zanpakutō's hilt is in the shape of a diamond with curved edges. His zanpakutō's sheath is encrusted with diamonds.

• Kensei Muguruma (六車 拳西 Muguruma Kensei?) Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese)
Kensei appears to be a teenager with short, light-grey hair and several piercings. He wears a basketball jersey and cargo pants with combat boots. In comparison with his fellow vizard, Kensei is a much more serious character. His zanpakutō, when first seen in the manga, is shown to have a rectangular-shaped hilt in a sort of 'H' shape. His initial release shrinks it down to about the size of a survival/combat knife. While in this form, Kensei demonstrates the ability to charge and fire spiritual energy from the knife.

• Mashiro (白?) Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (Japanese)
Mashiro is a somewhat ditzy girl who wears a white bodysuit and goggles in her green hair. Her overall style of dress is reminiscent of the costumes worn by the tokusatsu superheroes of late 1950s Japanese television, perhaps meant as a contrast between her age and childish appearance. She was able to maintain her hollow mask for fifteen hours on her first attempt to control her hollow, which means she did not need to train like the other vizard. She often calls Ichigo Berry-tan, meaning "strawberry", a play on Ichigo's name.

Urahara Shop

* Kisuke Urahara (浦原 喜助, Urahara Kisuke)
* Yoruichi Shihouin (四楓院 夜一, Shihōin Yoruichi)

* Ururu Tsumugiya (紬屋 雨, Tsumugiya Ururu) – Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)


Ururu Tsumugiya

Ururu is a meek, black-haired girl who mostly does manual labor for the shop, as well as assisting Urahara in training Ichigo. She is Karakura Pink in Don Kanoji's superhero team and uses a multi-barreled cannon as her weapon. She seems to respond robotically when injured or when hollows initially appear. Jinta also mentions that she reacts to strange spiritual presences, such as those of arrancar. During such times, Ururu seems to take on a rather simplistic view of right and wrong. She considers those that cause harm (relative to her) as enemies, and believes that enemies must be eliminated.

Ururu's meek attitude is somewhat at odds with her fighting ability, which is undefined, but quite high (Urahara vaguely mentions that her fighting ability is at an "anti-shinigami" level). Her leg-strength in particular is far greater than it should be, even when compared to Kon while he's in Ichigo's body. Her combat skills are shown when she gives the arrancar Ilfort Grantz a devastating kick to the head while he is fighting with Renji Abarai, overpowering him to the point that he is forced to release his zanpakutō. In the anime, she also delivers a powerful kick to Sawatari's giant whale doll, Baura.

* Jinta Hanakari (花刈 ジン太, Hanakari Jinta) – Voiced by: Takako Honda (Japanese), Jeannie Elias (English)


Jinta Hanakari

Jinta is a small, red-haired boy who is supposed to do manual labor for the shop, such as cleaning, but usually slacks off and forces Ururu to do all the work. He desires to be a baseball star and is Karakura Red (fighting for the position with Karin Kurosaki) in the team of Karakura Superheroes led by Don Kanonji. He seems to have a crush on Yuzu Kurosaki, calling her "The Goddess." This is shown in the omake chapters after the anime episodes when he gives her discounts at the shop and treating a good-luck charm she gave him as an extremely important possession (it was really Kon's plushie body tied to a string, which caused a fight between the two over it during a soccer game). Jinta, like the other shop members, appears to be old and wise when he isn't fooling around. While he likes to constantly bully Ururu, he does care for her, shown when he recovered her body after she was wounded by the arrancar Ilfort Grantz. Also like Ururu, he displays powerful fighting abilities comparable to those of shinigami, though not to the same extreme degree that she does. His primary weapon is an oversized tessen.

* Tessai Tsukabishi (握菱 テッサイ, Tsukabishi Tessai) - Voiced by: Kiyoyuki Yanada (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English)



Tessai Tsukabishi

Tessai is a large, muscular man who always wears an apron. It is unclear what work he does for the shop, but he is Urahara's personal assistant in both business-related and other matters. Tessai is skilled in kidō, shown by his use of a level 99 binding spell, possibly the most difficult of them. He is also shown to have great physical strength, made apparent by his ability to smash a hollow's head to pieces with a single, open-palmed thrust. He is also fiercely proud of the shop; this is shown when Orihime Inoue praises the shop basement, finding it really cool, and Tessai bursts into tears when thanking her. When Soifon refers to the shop as "pokey," his instant reaction is irritation and he has to be subdued by Urahara. He is also among the few who find Orihime's food tasty, the other being Rangiku Matsumoto. Tessai is over 200 years old, as he tells Rukia that the word "Quincy" "brings back memories" from that long ago.

The mentor of his son, Ryūken, and grandson, Uryū, Sōken (born March 22) was a kind old man whom Uryū admired. He was killed by hollows purposely sent by Mayuri Kurotsuchi for his research. His death is the primary reason Uryū hates the shinigami.

The Kurosaki family

* Isshin Kurosaki (黒崎 一心, Kurosaki Isshin)
* Ichigo Kurosaki (黒崎 一護, Kurosaki Ichigo)

* Karin Kurosaki (黒崎 夏梨, Kurosaki Karin) – Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Kate Higgins (English)


Karin Kurosaki

Karin is the cynical and sarcastic daughter of Isshin. Compared to her soft-spoken twin, Karin is the more authoritative of the two. She is an excellent soccer player with a kick powerful enough to fight weak hollows. Karin's tough exterior results from her mother's death; because she could not be useful around the house like Yuzu, she resolved never to cry so that she would not burden her family with her personal troubles. Karin is a sensible person and will not hesitate to kick her father in the head when she thinks he's acting unreasonable. She initially claims that she believes spirits do not exist, yet can see them just as well as Ichigo can. In spite of this, she is willing to use her abilities to earn a little cash, such as her position as Karakura Red of Don Kanonji's Karakura superheroes. Karin actually knows that Ichigo is a shinigami and wants to know why he's suffering out of concern. Karin is a homonym for Japanese quince, a name of a fruit, which matches Ichigo's name being a homonym for strawberry.

* Yuzu Kurosaki (黒崎 遊子, Kurosaki Yuzu) – Voiced by: Tomoe Sakuragawa (Japanese), Janice Kawaye (English)


Yuzu Kurosaki

Yuzu is Karin's fraternal twin (both were born on May 6) and more soft-spoken in comparison to her authoritative sibling. She is also the more empathetic of the two girls. She takes care of the housework, such as cooking meals and tidying up the living space, on a daily basis. She also regularly cuts Ichigo's hair. She likes to play with Kon, calling him "Postafu", unaware of the fact that he's alive, which most often involves her dressing him in feminine clothes and gluing on unwanted accessories, much to his chagrin. Unlike her siblings, Yuzu is only able to see faint outlines of spirits. Both girls help out in the family's clinic. She is Karakura Yellow in Don Kanonji's Karakura Superheroes. She tends to get very upset whenever Ichigo disappears for anything longer than a day. Yuzu is also the name of a citrus fruit.

* Masaki Kurosaki (黒崎 真咲, Kurosaki Masaki) [Deceased] – Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Ellyn Stern (English)

Masaki, born on June 9 and died on June 17, is the mother of Ichigo, Yuzu, and Karin. She died while Ichigo was still a child, and her death deeply affected her family. Isshin keeps a large poster of her on the wall and occasionally talks to it for comic relief. Though Ichigo initially did not know how she died, he later discovers that the hollow Grand Fisher was actually responsible for her death. Grand Fisher had intended to kill Ichigo, but killed her instead when she protected him. Both Isshin and Ichigo blame themselves for her death. Because of her death, her three children changed completely in personality: Ichigo changed from a terrified little boy into his scowling, short-tempered self; Yuzu turned from a crybaby to a reliable housekeeper; and Karin turned from a crybaby into her no nonsense person.

Mizuiro Kojima

Though he has a boyish face and gentle manner of speaking, Mizuiro has a marked fondness for older women. A typical character trait of male characters in anime, he is apparently very successful with these women and often excuses himself from Asano's activities because of a date with one or more women, the latter being more likely. In an extra chapter in the twelfth volume of Bleach, it is revealed that Mizuiro had very few friends until junior high. He is very distant towards his mother, who is seldom home. Recently, he's been revealed to have been fully endowed with spiritual awareness like Tatsuki and Keigo, and watched Ichigo, Chad, and Uryū go into Hueco Mundo.

* Chizuru Honshō (本匠 千鶴, Honshō Chizuru) – Voiced by: Saki Nakajima (Japanese), Jessica Straus (English)

An open and rather proud lesbian, Chizuru's numerous advances on her school friend Orihime Inoue are usually thwarted by Tatsuki. She has red hair and wears glasses with red frames. She calls Orihime "hime," which means "Princess," though it could also be a simple shortening of Orihime's name. In Chizuru's opinion, Tatsuki is also very pretty, but too boyish for her to crush on since she prefers more feminine girls; she has also ogled Kunieda, Mahana, and Michiru on occasion. She placed 31st in her class on her exams.

* Ryō Kunieda (国枝 鈴, Kunieda Ryō) – Voiced by: Stephanie Sheh

Ryō is a cold and bespectacled girl (though she tends to take her glasses off when she doesn't need them) who does extremely well in her studies (2nd best at school) and can often be seen with her nose in a book. As the school's track star, she can run 100 meters in 12 seconds flat.

* Michiru Ogawa (小川 みちる, Ogawa Michiru) – Voiced by: Asami Sanada (Japanese), Colleen O'Shaughnessey (English)

Michiru, often seen with Ryō Kunieda, is a member of Ichigo's class who forms a circle of friends with other girls, including Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chizuru. She seems to be more of a follower than a leader, and thinks Ichigo has a scary face.

* Mahana Natsui (夏井 真花, Natsui Mahana) – Voiced by: Kayo Noumi (Japanese), Michelle Ruff (English)

Mahana, often seen with Ryō Kunieda, is a member of Ichigo's class who forms a circle of friends with other girls, including Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chizuru. Though not shown very often, she's outgoing and talkative.

* Mizuho Asano (浅野 瑞穂, Asano Mizuho)

Keigo's formidable older sister, Mizuho regularly sends Keigo on errands (like getting juice from a vending machine) with the usual punishment for lateness being a kick to the crotch. She happily welcomes Ikkaku and Yumichika into the Asano home after Keigo brings them back. While she initially claims that she is welcoming them "because that is the kind of sister" she wants to be, in reality she just has a thing for shaved/bald heads. She has a tendency to speak sexily and show off her figure to men she finds attractive, much to Keigo's chagrin.

* Reiichi Ōshima (大島 麗一, Ōshima Reiichi)

Reiichi is a boy with dyed orange hair who challenges Ichigo for stealing his style, evidently on a regular basis. He appears once and is swiftly beaten up in one hit by an already-injured Chad, despite proclaiming to be tough.

* Ichirō Nanbuken (南部 研一郎, Nanbuken Ichirō)

Ichirō is 4th student in school in terms of academic achievements.

* Misato Ochi (越智 美諭, Ochi Misato) - Voiced by: Dorothy Elias-Fahn

Misato is Ichigo's class teacher. She is very easy going, accepts any excuse (no matter how flimsy and unbelievable, usually involving falling down stairs), and doesn't seem to mind in the slightest when Ichigo and his spiritually-endowed friends suddenly take off from class. She also doesn't seem terribly concerned that her students aren't really learning anything. When Ichigo returned from being absent for several weeks, she punished him very lightly (hitting him on the head with a book a couple times).

* Tetsuo Momohara

Tetuso is a classmate of Ichigo's who tried to get him to join the Karate club. He gets angry because Ichigo doesn't remember who he is. He sits in Rukia's seat in class after Renji and Byakuya take her back to Soul Society.

Kidou Information

Kidou or "Demon Arts" is one of the Shinigami's four combat arts, could be linked to Bleach's equivalent to magic or spells. A caster must chant the incantation verbally, and move his or her hands in the appropriate manner, as well as focusing spirit power, though some more powerful shinigami have been shown to bypass much of the incantation. A form of Kidou can also be used for Healing.

Kidou is comprised of hundreds of "spells", which are numbered from 1 to 99 branching out into Two Categories Hadou and Bakudou. The Higher number the more difficult the spell - the most difficult spells are of number 99.

Aside from Shinigami, other people who can use Kidou include the famous Shiba Kuukaku and her brother, Shiba Ganju. Using kidou however relies in the end primarily on the user's own innate power and control, however: a person with almost no spiritual power cannot cast a very powerful spell no matter how perfectly they may perform the incantation, and a powerful shinigami who lacks control and focus will have difficulty in making the spell behave as desired. The most basic qualifier for using kidou however is simply one's level of spiritual power: it doesn't matter how skilled you might be if you lack the reiryoku to draw upon in the first place. Rukia Kuchiki is a frequent user of kidou.



Shunpo

Shunpo (Flash Step) is a technique in which a shinigami gathers spiritual energy at their feet, in order to cross large distances in a single step The users moves at lighitng almost instantaneous speed. The limit of this is largely just the strength and skill of the individual shinigami. Yoruichi Shihouin has completely mastered shunpo, her quick movments using shunpo acuried her the nick name "Goddess of Flash".


Hadou (Way of Destruction)


Kidou Spells
Way of Destruction Number 4: White Thunder (Byakurai)
Fires a thin bolt of lightning from the caster's fingertips, piercing the subject. This is considered the most commonly used among all of the Kidou, as it's both fast and efficient. The strength of this varies from person to person.


Way of Destruction Number 31: Firer Cannon (Shakkahou)
Fires a thin bolt of lightning from the caster's fingertips, piercing the target. A powerful Kidou if the explosion hits the target full on, and is basically a weaker but shorter version of Soukatsui.


Way of Destruction Number 33: Blue Fire, Crash Down (Sokatsui)
Fires a big blue ball surge of reiatsu at your target. A very powerful kidou but Considered to be a low level Kidou due to it's simplicity. Requires a long chant before use if the user hasn't mastered it yet.

Chant: "O Lord, mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of man, truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!"


Way of Destruction Number 63: Howl of Singed Thunder (Raikouhou)
Fires a thin bolt of lightning from the caster's fingertips, piercing the target.


Way of Destruction Number 91: Black Coffin (Kurohitsugi)
Encircles the subject with a gigantic black prism, causing damage to the entire body.


Bakudou (Way of Binding)


Kidou Spells
Way of Binding Number One: The Covering (Sai)
Seals the target's movements.


Way of Binding Number 58: Grasp of the Chasing Sparrow (Kakushitsuijyaku)
When the caster inscribes a symbol upon the ground, the targets' locations and movements can be identified.


Way of Binding Number 77: Soaring Net of the Heavens (Tenteikuura)
When the caster inscribes a symbol in the air and chants the incantation, telepathic communication with any or all people that the caster or his/her comrades have encountered is possible.

Chant: " Black and white net! Twenty two bridges, sixty six crown strings, footprints, distant thunders, mountain peaks, valleys, night shadows, cloud sea, cyan line! Fill up the circle and zoom to the edges of the sky! "


Way of Binding Number 99 Version Two: Ultimate Suppression (Bankin)
A very unique kidou Spell which has three parts, called songs. This kidou requires a massive amount of concentration.
- First song, The Furling (Shiryuu) - Binds the subject in cloth.
- Second song, Hundred Bolts (Hyakurensan) - Pierces the bound subject with countless large pins.
- Third song, Ultimate Seal (Bankintaihou) - Crushes the immobile subject with a gigantic block of stone.



There are over 100 other Kidou Spells, they will be added progressively.

bleach 118

He’s too cool to fucking die…I hope

Rating: 9.8/10

This episode gave me tingles AND I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. The artwork went well beyond my expectations, and their use of music really set the mood. I basically wanted to have sex with Ikkaku after watching this episode, you know, the kind where you pass out from ecstasy and overexertion. Yeah, that kind.

Easy on the eyeshadow there buddy, pyon

Darkshaunz don’t watch, its too painful

I think Grimmjow just killed of our favorite heroinette, oh shit…NAH. Ichigo apparently is too shocked to even go crazy and avenge her, but instead throws himself at Grimmjow with some half-assed-looking attempt. Ah, geez. This won’t be turning out well in the end, or so I feel. If Rukia survives this, she’ll probably be MIA the rest of the Arrancar arc “healing” or something. Right now, I’m waiting for Ichigo to explode with power and go fucking crazy so everyone stops what they’re doing and looks in their direction like “oh shit wtf is that.”

Two Kool

Four Skool

Seriously, can you be any cooler? What the fuck man. I was like <3. The scene where Yumichika was commenting on how happy Ikkaku while fighting gave me goosebumps. It all felt so epic and exciting and I instantly fell in love with Ikkaku’s style. We haven’t seen much of him up until this point other than maybe some butt ends of random jokes about his head. Finally, we get to see what he’s made of, and surely it spells out G-A-R. Not only that, but I loved how drew some of the scenes, like the two above. It makes him look even more hardcore. The more we see of the 11th division, the more I’m convinced they’re a fucking scary bunch.

I’m anxiously awaiting next episode to help wrap up all the loose ends they left with this episode. Is Rukia now MIA this arc? Will Ikkaku defeat the enemy? Will I get to rub my face on Ikkaku’s blood and scar covered, deliciously sexy body? What was the “freeze thing” that Yumichika called in for? Will Ichigo explode with all the love and passion he feels for Rukia? Hopefully all of these will be answered next episode. *squeals and runs away*

Long time no see huh? Well, I’m sorta back now, not like you care. You fags, but I still love you.

Darkshau-PYON PYON PYON

Score: 9.1/10 (2 Rukias in one episode, Yes please)

Wait a minute. Isn’t Rets supposed to be doing this? Folks, Retsgip has been a bit busy fighting for his life in the jungles of Cambodia lately (or Uni exams, same thing), so this means I get to do what I always wanted to do, cover a shounen episode aside from Naruto. Just because I’m covering this episode of Bleach does not mean I have any real idea on what’s going on, of course. I’m the blog’s combat vixen and GAR women guy, and I am not really attuned to the Bleach side of things. I do use Chlorox to clean out some of my Kitchen pipes…does that count? I do know one thing, I really like Rukia and trust me, Danny knows all about my hopeless crush.

Hey Rukia, try using the damned door next time.

Does Bleach always start off with these recaps? I love getting a good old reminder, because I have a memory which contests that of Dory from Finding Nemo (as in, its not even qualified to be called a memory ability). I do have an inkling that the constant revisions of the past episode may irk some people, exciting moments from the reminder sequence includes seeing Ichigo looking kind of sad, Rukia standing on the window ledge as opposed to using the door like normal people and Rukia making Ichigo go BAN ZAI (oh ho, did you see that) instead of being Ichigo. So in this actual episode, Karakura town is under attack by Men in white coats. Instead of wanting to take you to the local mental institution, they want to eat your souls and kill torches, because Shakugan no Shana taught us that Torches totally need to be killed and stuff.

bleach 114

this is when the inner site of ichigo begin to provoke when his hollow want to appear. to fight with the arrancar. in this episode ichigo has been defeated by the arrancar this episode show all about the power and how ichigo lost.

Bleach 113

Nappa (right): “Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?”

Rating: 9/10

I’m SO glad that Bleach makes up for all the pain and suffering I receive while watching Naruto filler episodes. The bleach story is doing a damn good job keeping me interested in the storyline, which in turn keeps me entertained. I’m not sure why, but I’m starting to like the Bleach artwork better than Naruto as well. Shippuuden better hurry up or I’ll start having a n emo fit.

No truer words have yet been said.

You’ve got to hand it to Isshin for always being so cheery and loving to his kids. It’s not easy raising a family as a single parent, which is also especially hard since he’s male. We don’t know much of his past to this point, but since he runs a medical clinic, I’m assuming he was the captain of the 4th Division (the healers? i think?). Maybe his background has helped him raise a wonderful family, but you can never say for sure. All I know is that he’s a fucking awesome character, and most likely an awesome father. I hope we see more of him later on, which Ichigo finally figures out his secret (if he EVER does). Should be interesting to see some father-son team battle scenes.
