Ichigo Kurosaki is a male Soul Reaper with orenge hair and the main character of "BLEACH". He is the son of Masaki and Ishin, and the older brother of Karin and Yuzu. Her mother has Quincy and Hollow powers, and her father has Soul Reaper powers. In other words, Ichigo can use the power of Quincy, Hollow, and Soul Reaper. He also later received Fullbring training and was able to use Fullbring's powers. Only Ichigo or Reiou/Soul King can use these four powers (Quincy, Soul Reaper, Hollow, Fullbring Power). Ichigo is such a strong character.

When Ichigo was in high school, he was like any other high school student, but due to the influence of his parents, he had an unusual sense of spirituality. Ichigo has bad eyes and inherits his mother's orange hair color, so he is easily mistaken for a badboy and often receives resentment from upperclassmen and badboys at his high school. Because of this, Ichigo and Sado Yasutora often got into fights with badboys. Ichigo is now a fine and strong man, but even before he entered high school, he was learning karate with his childhood friend, Tatsuki Arisawa, and was a crybaby who cried when he lost to her. Ichigo studies hard at school so that he won't be mistaken for a bad boy, and his grades are good, ranking 23rd out of 322 students.

When Ichigo was a child, he had strong psychic powers and could see Hollow. However, he was tricked by a Hollow called Grand Fisher, and when he was attacked by the Hollow, his mother Masaki protected him, and Masaki died at that time. Ichigo blamed himself every day, thinking it was his fault that his mother died. One day, he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper assigned to Karakura Town, and Ichigo becomes Deputy Soul Reaper. At that time, he decides to defeat the Grand Fisher who killed his mother and live as a Soul Reaper. He blamed himself but overcame it by becoming a Soul Reaper.

In the Soul Society Arc, it becomes known in Soul Society that Rukia transferred the power of Soul Reaper to Ichigo. This is a taboo act even in Soul Society, and Rukia is caught and sentenced to death. Ichigo learned about this and went into Soul Society with his friends to rescue Rukia and successfully saved Rukia. At that time, relationships with people around Rukia also improved, and Renji Abarai is very grateful to Ichigo. Renji would even rush to help Ichigo if he was in a pinch.

In Arrancer Arc, Ichigo trained with Visored to be able to control the Hollow power within him, which he was unable to control, to a certain extent. He then enters the world of Hueco Mundo where Arrancer lives, rescues Orihime Inoue, and uses all of Soul Reaper's power to activate the final Bankai in order to defeat the mastermind, Aizen. Ichigo defeated Aizen's plans. Ichigo lost the power of Soul Reaper and returned to being a normal human, but he trained to obtain a new power called Fullbring, which was comparable to the power of Soul Reaper. Ginjo used Ichigo to become a Soul Reaper. but Ginjo's speculations were also defeated by Ichigo.

In The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, when the country of Quincy called Wandenreich invades Soul Society, Ichigo takes action to save Soul Society. At that time, Ichigo learned that his mother was Quincy, and that he had been protected from the opponent's attacks by Quincy's power, Blut Vene, in his previous battles. He also learned that Ichigo's Zanpakutou was still incomplete, and after receiving special training from Squad 0, he learned the roots of his own Zanpakutou. It turns out that the Zangetsu that came out of his Zanpakutou is Yawach, and the Soul Reaper in the form of a white Ichigo is White, the Hollow power that possessed Masaki. His Zanpakutou was remade by Oetsu Nimaiya of Squad 0 and became a pair of Zanpakutou. And in the end, with the help of his friends, Ichigo was able to defeat Yawach.

After The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, Ichigo is revealed to be married to Orihime Inoue, and they have a son, Kaue. We also learn that Ichigo is his father and works as a translator.

It's really fun to watch him grow as a main character.

About Ichigo Kurosaki Zanpakutou

Shikai:Zangetsu (斬月)

Ichigo Kurosaki Shikai
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Ichigo's Zanpakutou name is "Zangetsu(斬月)". It meaning is "slash moon". The blade looks like a large kitchen knife, but since it doesn't have a sheath, it is stored wrapped in something like a bandage. Zanpakutou without a scabbard reminds me of Oetsu Nimaiya's failed Asauchi. In BLEACH, the sword is depicted as having power and the scabbard as something that controls it, so this means that Ichigo is not able to use his own power.

Ichigo's technique called "Getsugatensyo(月牙天衝)" allows him to consume Ichigo's reiatsu and unleash a huge slash. Ichigo's father Isshin can also use this, but Isshin's Getsugatensyo is a flame slash, while Ichigo's Getsugatensyo is a reiatsu slash. The meaning of the name in kanji is "Fang of the Moon(月牙)" and "Shock of the Heavens(天衝)".

Bankai:Tensa Zangetsu(天鎖斬月)

Ichigo Kurosaki Bankai
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Ichigo's Bankai name is "Tensa Zangetsu(天鎖斬月)". Literally translated, it means heavenly chain, and it is said that it means closing the sky. When this Bankai is activated, Ichigo wears a long black coat and becomes the incarnation of Zangetsu. When it was in its first form, it was shaped like a large kitchen knife, but when it was in Bankai, the blade became thinner and blacker. There is a chain attached to the handle, which together forms Ichigo's Bankai.

Bankai's ability is that the blade becomes thinner, which reduces the weight and air resistance of the sword, allowing it to gain overwhelming speed. The bankaied Ichigo instantly knocked down tens of billions of cherry blossom blades from Senbonzakura, Byakuya Kuchiki's Zanpakutou. The movement speed is also exceptional, as seen in the BLEACH scene where the movement speed is so fast that Byakuya loses sight of him.

Seen in the fight scene between Byakuya and Ichigo!!

He mastered Bankai in a short period of time. normally Bankai can only be learned through tremendous training.

Final Bankai

Ichigo final bankai
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

This Bankai uses all the power of Soul Reaper that Ichigo used in the fight against Aizen. To unleash the full power of his Zanpakutou, he had to become Bankai himself. His body is wrapped in gray bandages, and his orange hair changes to black, making him look much longer.

Ichigo loses the power of Soul Reaper by releasing the "Final Getsugatensyo", which allows him to become almost invincible and defeat Aizen due to the power of the ball called Hougyoku. Ichigo's attack nearly killed Aizen, but not until he was defeated. However, with Kido developed by Kisuke Urahara, it was possible to create a time and state in which it could be sealed, and Aizen was sealed away by Kisuke.

Fullbring Power

Ichogo Kurosaki Fullbring practice
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Having lost the power of Soul Reaper, Ichigo tries to acquire the power of Fullbring, the power to fight Hollow again. Fullbring is a power that Sado Yasutora and Orihime Inoue can use, and Ichigo also has the aptitude to use it, and he masters it by training with Ginjo and his friends. At first, Fullbring appeared as if something like a black blade was coming out of the Soul Reaper certificate.

Ichigo kurosaki fullbring first
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

As Ichigo continues to train, he gains powers similar to those of Soul Reaper. In the end, Ichigo's Fullbring power was taken away in order for Ginjo to become a Soul Reaper, but Ichigo was pierced by a sword imbued with reiatsu gathered by Rukia's Soul Society friends, and Ichigo became a Soul Reaper and defeated Ginjo, BLEACH Fan's heart was warmed by the same way he became a Soul Reaper for the first time.

True Zanpakutou:2 sword style Zangetsu

Ichigo true Zanpakutou
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

In The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, Ichigo's Zanpakutou is broken by Quincy's Jugram Haschwalth. So Ichigo asked Oetsu Nimaiya of Squad 0 to remake Zanpakutou. Oetsu told Ichigo that he could not make a Zanpakutou for a noob, but in the end, he completed the training set by Oetsu, and Ichigo was approved by Oetsu and was asked to make a Zanpakutou.

When Oetsu creates Ichigo's Zanpakutou, Oetsu tells Ichigo that Zanpakutou is not his true form. Ichigo's Zanpakutou has taken on its true form: a long sword that has the power of Quincy that Ichigo has, and a short sword that has the power of a white Ichigo that has the power of another Hollow. Ichigo's true Zanpakutou is dual-wielding, and dual-wielding is rare in Soul Society, with only Kyoraku Shunsui and Jushirou Ukitake having dual-wielding Zanpakutou, and their power is said to be very strong.

In the story, he demonstrated a technique called "Getsuga Jujisyo(月牙十字衝)", making use of his dual-wielding skills. I used a technique that combines a normal Getsugatensyo with a slash to cut off Quincy's arm, which has very high defense.

Ichigo Hollow Mode

Ichigo hollow power
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Ichigo's mother, Masaki, received Hollow's power during a battle, which caused her to be mixed with Hollow's power, and Ichigo was able to use Hollow's power as well. As shown in the image above, Ichigo has the power of Hollow, which resembles a white Ichigo. This white Ichigo is called White, and at the beginning it seemed like he was thinking of taking over Ichigo's body.

Ichigo Kurosaki Hollow mode
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Ichigo was able to control Hollow's power through special training with Shinji Hirako and other Visored who were forcibly given Hollow's power by Aizen. Ichigo can become a Hollow at any time he wants, and in the fight against Ulquiorra Cifer, he uses the power of Bankai and Hollow.

Ichigo Hollow
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

However, there was a scene where Ichigo was driven to the brink of death by Ulquiorra Cifer, and the Hollow's power inside him went out of control, turning him completely into a Hollow. At that time, Hollow's mask had horns, and he became a monster that could not hear anyone and only defeated Ulquiorra Cifer.

Ichigo Kuroaki hollow final mode
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

In The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, Ichigo learns of his Zanpakutou roots through the advice of Oetsu Nimaiya. At that time, I learned the true forms of Zangetsu and White, and acquired the dual-wielding Zanpakutou. At that time, Ichigo became able to use Hollow's power perfectly, and was able to coexist with Hollow to the point where he could properly answer Orihime's questions.

Ichigo Kurosaki's Battle Record is 13 win, 8 lose.

I omitted Hollow and a few battle scenes, but Ichigo is the main character of BLEACH and has over 20 battle scenes. When Ichigo loses once, he often rematches the next time, and there are many scenes where he becomes even stronger after losing and defeats his opponent. In particular, Ichigo, Ulquiorra Cifer, and Yhwach fought three fierce battles, and ultimately won.

Ichigo is at his strongest when protecting someone.
