I immediately started picking up the manga and planning a costume for Ichigo. It was a fansub (this was before it was airing on Adult Swim), so the translation wasn't great, but I fell in love with the characters and mythology of the series. At least, that was the plan.īefore I picked up the manga, I saw the first four episodes of the anime at Stellarcon '06. Ichigo becomes a temporary Shinigami, and works with Rukia to handle the hunting of hollows until Rukia can recover. To help him save his family, she lends Ichigo some of her powers, but something goes wrong, and Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. When a Hollow, an evil spirit, attacks Ichigo and his family, Rukia attempts to defeat the Hollow, but is wounded. All of this is pretty normal for Ichigo, but then he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Shinigami (Death God) and member of the mysterious Soul Society. Synopsis: Ichigo Kurosaki sees ghosts, and fights.a lot. 8 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more. The tankōbon ends with the team ready to rescue their friend Rukia Kuchiki.Īll in all, Bleach, Vol. Apparently, Uryū Ishida uses spiritual energy as his weapon and is already adapted to spiritual energy to survive being Soul Society. In order to help rescue Rukia Kuchiki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Yasutora "Chad" Sado and Orihime Inoue has to train their body to accept spiritual energy to survive in Soul Society without dying. This tankobon is written and illustrated by Tite Kubo. Finished with his training Ichigo reunites with Orihime, Uryū Ishida, Chad, and Yoruichi, as they prepare to go to Soul Society to save Rukia. In the pit, Ichigo battles through the agony of hollowfication process as he enters his own mind where he encounter the spirit of his zanpakutō who enables him to become a Soul Reaper.įinding himself facing Urahara in the next training exercise, Ichigo learns his zanpakutō's name Zangetsu and manages to transform the blade to defeat Urahara. In the second phase of his training, Ichigo finds the chain linking his soul to his body severed by Urahara's assistant Tessai Tsukabishi before the youth placed in a pit where he either regains his Soul Reaper or becomes a Hollow. At the same time, a cat named Yoruichi Shihōin trains Yasutora "Chad" Sado and Orihime Inoue to master their powers so they can help Ichigo rescue Rukia Kuchiki. 8 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (62–70) of the on-going manga series.ĭuring summer vacation, Ichigo Kurosaki begins his training at The Urahara Shop by sparring against Ururu Tsumugiya, an alley of Kisuke Urahara, to regain control of his spirit body. I really want to read the rest but i must be patient and put some money aside and get the box sets cause why get the single trades when you can get box sets. Ichigo had a talking horny stuffed animal named Kon, Learned a curitial truth about his mother's fate in the process and met Uruhara and had Uruhara shoten store as a new ally and was going to The Soul Society to save Rukia with all of his allies in the end where i left reading. Ichigo the rookie Soul Reaper/16 year old highschool student fighted against some hollows with the help of his ally Rukia, Rukia was a seasoned Soul Reaper. The Soul Soceity is pretty much a new take on the heaven of the afterworld. Our main character Ichigo Kurosaki is a Soul Reaper (shinigami) and the Bleach's Soul Reapers are a nice new take on the japanese mythology's Soul Reapers (Shinigamies) The Bleach's Soul Reapers hunt evil spirits named Hollow and also send ordinary spirirts the wholes (konpakus) to the Soul Soceity where all the konpakus live. Soul Reapers are the main focus of the book. All the world building was great, the soul soceity where souls live and their Soul Reapers, urahara shoten, the nearly extinct Quincies, hollows&wholes, Melos Grande and all were great elements of The Bleach Universe. Hollow designs are important to me cause there are very few things better than a good monster design. lol Hollow designs were ok, hollows are monster evil spirits who eat regular spirits called konpaku. The humor that came from a horny talking stuffed animal named Kon was great. May be i was in a bad mood while i was reading the first time around. I don't know why i didn't like it the first time, it's pretty good. I found the 8 trades that i bought 7 years ago in a box and i was like ''ok, lets give Bleach another shot'' and i liked it this time around. I gave another shot to a shounen classic, The Bleach.
