Bleach Part I

Okay. Since I don't have time to blog now, I'll be keeping you busy reading one of my older (half) posts on Bleach. You can actually find this on my main blog.



Here's one picture. So, the main character is Ichigo.(The guy with the orange hair)

Bleach speaks of another world consisting of souls and Soul Reapers (Known as Shinigami). They will each possess a sword (Known as Zanpakto) which has a unique ability. That being said, some noobs are so weak their swords hasn't "awakened" yet, and therefore, don't have an ability. There are three levels to a sword-


First level- A normal sword with no special ability


Second level - Known as "Shikai", changes the sword's appearance to better facilitate its special abilities.


Third level - Known as "Bankai", can only normally be achieved when a Soul Reaper trains with their zanpakutō for decades. Once achieved, the Soul Reaper can unlock their zanpakutō's full potential, increasing their own power several times over.

The Soul Reapers follow a very complex system and hierarchy to achieve maximum efficiency in ensuring order for both our world and the Spirit world. When someone in our world dies, he becomes a Spirit. (Duh) However, he doesn't automatically float/hover/fly to the spirit world if he is "attached" to our world. This means that this person had died with regrets and stuff. SO, it's the job of the lower ranked Soul Reapers to run around and stamp their sword hilts onto the spirit's forehead to exorcise him. That being said, sometimes Soul Reapers are unable to correctly track down every single spirit, and so some are left floating around. These forgotten spirits would slowly transform into evil monsters known as Hollows. These Hollows are the main enemies of the Soul Reapers. They eat other Hollows/spirits/Soul Reapers/Humans and practically anything else. To ensure a fair competition between these Hollows and the Soul Reapers, Tite Kubo (The author) granted these Hollows special abilities as well (Such as being able to release little critters from their mouths which would crawl onto a Soul Reaper and explode. Another kamikaze fetish on Tite Kubo's part). As per mentioned, Soul Reapers follow a sort of hierarchy. At the top is the Spirit King (Whose face, even voice, has not been seen or heard by the readers before), followed by Division 0, the Spirit King's personal bodyguards and the King's Office, which specializes in killing Menos (Hollows which have eaten so many other Hollows it develops into a kick ass unkillable giant monster). Right below these two factions is the 46 Chambers, a useless administrative organization which does nothing but give orders. They don't have anyone who can fight AT ALL. Finally, it's the Thirteen Divisions. As the name suggests, it consists of 13 groups of Soul Reapers, each Division consisting of a Captain, a vice captain, and the 3rd to 20th most powerful Soul Reapers of each division known as Officers.



[EDIT: THE PICTURE IS TOO DAMN BIG TO FIT INTO MY BLOG. SO CLICK ON IT TO SEE THE FULL PICTURE]
Here. The thirteen captains of the various divisions. Each of them seriously kicks ass, and all of them possess the skill to utilize the third form of the sword, Bankai. (Apart from Kenpachi, 11th Division Captain, the guy on the right with the super spiky hair. But he kicks so much ass he doesn't even use the second form, Shikai. Yes, he fights simply with a sword. A rotten sword, nonetheless)The leader of the Thirteen Divisions is the old man in the picture, called Genryuusai.Okay, when I said Kenpachi kicked ass, I meant it. But THIS old man, he kicks triple ass.


The above took me 3 seconds to copy and paste.
