Plot
· When Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper, cannot complete her responsibilities after engaging in battle with a powerful Hollow, a 15-year-old high school student named Ichigo Kurosaki steps in as a substitute Soul Reaper ( Shinigami, meaning “Death God”).
· He begins removing Hollows in Rukia’s place, despite his initial reluctance, and realizes that numerous of his friends and batchmates are spiritually aware and have their powers during this time:
· When Rukia is condemned to death in the human world and dragged back to Soul Society’s spirit world, Ichigo enlists the help of Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihan, two exiled Souls Reapers, to allow himself and his companions to save Rukia.
· After Ichigo and his companions defeated many Soul Reapers, it got revealed that Sasuke Aizen, a high-ranking Soul Reaper, falsely accused Rukia of the crime and had been illegally experimenting on Soul Reapers and Hollows.
· Aizen intends to take over Soul Society via the Hgyoku, a legendary substance that can transform Hollows into half Soul Reapers, considerably enhancing their abilities.
· He runs into Hueco Mundo, the realm of the Hollows, after faking his death and reappearing, causing a fight with some of the people from Soul Society, and later abducts Orihime, who is instrumental in the creation of the Oken.
· This power will allow him to kill the Soul King, the ruler of Soul Society.
· Espadas are commanders in Aizen’s army, and each has its group of Arrancars who are weaker. The Espada, along with Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tsen, is equivalent to Soul Society’s Gotei 13 Soul Reaper commanders in terms of strength.
· When Aizen eventually arrives in Orihime, he confesses that her captivity was only a ruse to allow him to seize Karakura Town, which has the spiritual energy required for the Oken.
· Ichigo and the Soul Reapers face combat against Aizen. The Soul Reapers who allied with his cause, and his most powerful Espadas, concluding in Aizen’s surrender and the defeat of Ichigo’s Soul Reaper powers when he utilizes a hidden technique to shut Aizen away for good.
· Chad tells Ichigo over two years later that he has met individuals like him, known as Fullbringers, in an organization called Xcution.
· The Fullbringers can give up their abilities to restore Soul Reaper’s abilities, and they want to do so for Ichigo, who has begun to utilize Fullbring.
· However, their commander Kugo Ginjo, a Fullbringer and former Substitute Soul Reaper, uses Ichigo’s abilities to boost the rest of them.
· When Ichigo achieves the required trust from the Soul Society, his Soul Reaper abilities got restored. With the help of the captains and lieutenants, Ichigo beats Ginjo and the other members of Xcution and proudly returns to his mission of guarding Karakura Town.
· There are several anime-only tale arcs given. Season 4’s Bount narrative is about spiritually conscious individuals who can live forever as long as they absorb souls.
· Their commander, Jin Kariya, wants to destroy Soul Society because of the Bount’s incessant hunting, and he and Ichigo fight for Soul Society’s survival.
· The arrival of captain Shsuke Amagai, Gin Ichimaru’s replacement when he joined Aizen in his treason, is another plotline. Amagai desires vengeance on Commander Yamamoto for his father’s death, and he employs the Bakkt weaponry of the Kasumiji family in his schemes.
· Ichigo battles Amagai, who confesses his wrongdoings and commits suicide.
· The malevolent Zanpakut Muramasa, which can transform itself and other Zanpakut into spiritual entities to exact revenge on Soul Society for imprisoning its master Kia Kuchiki, is featured in the third original arc.
