Subduing souls

"Subduing Souls", Xcution (jap. エクスキューション ekushukyu:sen) , is a group of people that appears in the story a year and a half after the events of the Arrancar story arc. Each of them has the ability to subjugate the souls of surrounding objects, thus strengthening himself. However, if one of the items is truly dear to him, then he gives the owner the opportunity to use "Full Subjugation" Fullbring (jap. 完現術（フルブリング） furuburing) , - a force unique in its properties and principle of action for each of the Subordinates. These possibilities are close in nature to the forces empty, since a subordinate can only be born if the mother was attacked by an empty before the birth of the child - thus, a piece of the empty remains inside the child.

The goal of the Subordinators is to restore the lost power of the conductor of souls, Ichigo Kurosaki, and then absorb this power. To do this, they attack Uryu Ishida, and after, with the help of the Complete Submission of one of the group members, Shukoru Tsukishima, the memory of all the other Subordinators was changed, except for himself and his subordinate, Shishiga-Wara. The rest, led by the leader, Kūgo Ginjō, were supposed to consider Tsukishima their enemy and help Ichigo, who had joined after the attack on Ishida, master his own Full Subjugation and thus revive his soul guide's spiritual power. After completing Kurosaki's training, Tsukishima alters the memory of everyone close to Ichigo, driving him to despair and leading him into a one-on-one fight. He gathers everyone in the mansion, while returning the memory of the Subordinators. Ginjo's memory returns to the latter, and he absorbs Ichigo's powers, but he is saved by his father, Kisuke Urahara, Rukia and other guides of souls. With Kurosaki's stolen reiatsu, Kugo saves himself from Ichigo's Getsugi Tenshō by using it on himself. This gives him the power in the form of the "Cloak" that Ichigo had before, after which he shares it with the rest of the Subordinators. Having gained new powers, they start a fight with Ichigo and the rest of the Shinigami, however, each of the Xcution group (except Riruka) is defeated in battle with his opponent. The confrontation ends with the death of Ginjo, after which the surviving Subduers split up as they try to find their place in the world, realizing that "there was nothing to bind them except the powers of Total Submission".

In addition to members of Xcution, Soulbenders also include:

Wandenreich (jap. 見えざる帝国（ヴァンデンライヒ) - Invisible Empire, from him. Reich- Empire) - an enemy organization of the Gotei 13, formed from the remnants of the Quincy, who survived the era of their extermination of the Shinigami. By the beginning of the last arc, the Invisible Empire is an organized structure that includes many different units. The Wandenreich seized power in Hueco Mundo, capturing the only Arrancar capable of holding power in the Hollow dimension - the former Tres Espada, Tia Harribel. Hueco Mundo is controlled by a large detachment of Quincy "Yakto Arme" (jap. 狩猟部隊（ヤークトアルメー） - The hunting corps, from him. Jagdarmee- Hunting Army), led by an experienced commander Kirge Opier, who selects Arrancars from the captives who are ready to fight on the side of the Wandenreich.

Also, in the power of the Wandenreich is a special dimension, where the headquarters and the Gate of the Sun are located, with the help of which the Quincy army, led by the elite of the Wandenreich, the Stern Ritters (jap. 星十字騎士団（シュテルンリッター） - Order of the Knights of the Starry Cross, from him. Stern Ritter- Star Knights), invades foreign lands. Members of the Wandenreich (both Quincy and trusted Hollows) are able to get to this place with the help of their own shadow, hiding in it when necessary. In addition to this technique, many of the Quincy are able to use a 200-year-old version of the Lezt Calm Quincy technique (jap. 滅却師最終形態（クインシー・レツトシュティール) - The last form of Quincy, from him. Letzt Stil Quincy- The last Quincy style), called "Quincy Volstending" (jap. 滅却師完聖体 (クインシー・フォルシュテンディッヒ - The perfect sacred form of the Quincy, from him. Quincy Vollständig- Quincy finality) is the activation of a special rune in the form of a cross, giving its owner a new combat form, weapons and armor woven from reiatsu (in essence, the technique is an analogue of the Bankai of the Shinigami and the Resurekusion of the Arrancars). Unlike the Lezt Calm, the Volstendig does not waste its owner's reiatsu in exchange for great power, but only grants them strength without any downsides. The power of the Quincy is enhanced thanks to Bluet (jap. 血装 (ブルート) - Bloody uniform, from him. Blut- Blood) - reiatsu, which each Quincy lets through their own blood vessels and can be used in two directions - Bluet Vene (jap. 静血装 (ブルート・ヴェーネ) - The bloody uniform of calm, from him. Blut Vene- venous blood) - to enhance protection, and Bluet Artery jap. 動血装 (ブルート・アルテリエ - The bloody uniform of the movement, from it. Blut Artery) - arterial blood) - to enhance the attack. Also, thanks to special amulets, the main members of the Wandenreich are able to weaken their blood opponents - Shinigami, sealing their Bankai. A stolen Bankai can be used by the Quincy at will.

Juha Bach

Juha Bach (jap. ユーハバッハ)- A very old, powerful, cruel man with a dictatorial and mean personality, long hair and a thick mustache. Seeks to destroy the Soul Society, as well as kill the Commander-in-Chief of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto-Genryusai Shigekuni, who failed to kill him over 1000 years ago, ended up killing Yamamoto and practically destroying Soul Society. The rest of the targets are unknown. Extremely intelligent and very strong in his abilities, the Quincy, at the head of the Stern-Ritters, attacks the Soul Society, actively participates in the battle, easily defeating all his opponents, towards the end of the battle he encounters and defeats Zaraki Kempati in a duel and, first of all, goes look for Aizen and orders his subordinate Royd Lloyd to pretend to be him to distract Genryusai, later Lloyd fights with Yamamoto-Genryusai himself, but receives a cut in half from his Bankai. At the same time, Juha Bach destroys the barracks of the 1st division, defeats the 3rd officer and lieutenant of the 13th Division (Rukyu Kuchiki) and penetrates the prison below them, where he meets with Aizen. He invites him to join the Wandenreich as a special military capability, but is refused and returns to fight Yamamoto, who in the meantime has killed a quarter of the Stein-Ritters. At the very beginning of the battle that has not yet begun, he steals Yamamoto's bankai, inflicts a mortal wound on him and finishes him off with a Quincy arrow, after which he turns the body of the hated enemy into dust with more and more arrows. After that, Kurosaki Ichigo arrives in the Soul Society and goes to Yuha Bach, a short and furious fight begins in which Bach defeats the enemy and tries to finish him off with his sword, but Ichigo suddenly starts using Quincy power and easily blocks a blow to the neck, receiving only a barely noticeable mark , while Kurosaki himself is shocked by the use of this ability. Before retreating from the Soul Society (as members of the 0th Division are on the way), Stern-Ritter Haschwald cuts the sword of the temporary soul conduit in the Bankai, and the emperor hints to Kurosaki that he knows about his origin, leaving Ichigo in thought.

Arrancar

Yakto Orme finds Arrancars in Hueco Mundo worthy of fighting on the side of the Wandenreich. Such Hollows receive the Quincy uniform, as well as their weapons and equipment, such as the Quincy Cross. The Arrancars on the side of the Wandenreich give up their own essence. However, such Hollows are considered ordinary infantry and "cannon fodder" among the members of the Empire, and are valued only because they are experienced fighters who do not need training.

• Lueders Frigen (jap. リューダス・フリーゲン ) - Arrancar in the service of the Invisible Empire, with a very striking appearance. Has fragments of a mask empty on the face, reminiscent of piercings, and the original hairstyle - on the one hand, hair of a light shade, on the other - dark. He led the Wandenreich squad that invaded Soul Society and attacked the First Squad. He was killed in cold blood by Bach, who did not like his report and manner of speaking.
• Iban Azgiaro (jap. アズギアロ・イーバーン ) - First appears in Chapter 2 of the Millennium Blood War Arc, an Arrancar in the employ of the Wandenreich with a mask shard over his left eye, tasked with neutralizing Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai. When attacking, Iban used the Quincy Cross and created his own spiritual bow, which looked like a white curved frame with a lot of weapons on it, as well as a special medallion, with which Azgyaro tried to "seal" Kurosaki's Bankai. However, his technique was interrupted by Ichigo's Getsuga (which greatly surprised the Arrancar), and Iban had to retreat by hiding in his own shadow. He was killed by Bach with the words that his role had already been completed.

Stern Ritters

The Stern Ritters are the most powerful Quincy of the Wandenreich, thus being the organization's elite. Each Stern Ritter has his own personal rank, designated as a letter of the Latin alphabet. Such a title is given to each of them by the Leader for a characteristic that makes the chosen Quincy unique among other knights.

• Haschwald (jap. ハッシュヴァルト)- a tall man, blond. The strongest Stern Ritter, concurrently is the right hand of Juha Bach. It is almost always next to him. Killed 6 officers of the 13th Division Kazyumaru Hidetomo and many other members of the 13th. Very strong, cut through the sword of Ichigo Kurosaki Tensa Zangetsu.
• Kirge Opier (jap. キルゲ・オピー)- Stern Ritter "J", "Jail" (Russian for "imprisonment"), and part-time captain Yakto Arme in Hueco Mundo, the strongest of the Stein-Ritters after Haschwald. Characteristic features of his appearance are black round glasses and painted lips. Violent towards enemies, able to kill unarmed at his own whim. His duties include control over the situation in Hueco Mundo, as well as the selection of worthy Arrancars for the service of the Wandenreich. A strong opponent who single-handedly defeated Tres Bestia is Tia Harribel's Francions. Quincy keeps his Cross on his own sword, which he transforms into a hybrid of melee weapons and a crossbow. Kirge's Quincy Volstending transforms his reiatsu into wings, a halo, and armor. In this form, the captain is able to fly, as well as absorb the reiatsu around him at tremendous speed and use the accumulated power to attack with the "Force of Bisciel" ("God's Judgment"). Possesses the Sclavery technique (jap. 圣隶(スクラヴェライ , sacred slave)(from him. Sklaverei- Slavery), which enslaves the opponent's reiatsu. With its help, he is able to completely absorb his enemy, while combining the remains of his spiritual body with his own, which makes Kirge very strong, but ugly. Thus, during the battle with Tres Bestia and Ichigo, he absorbed the monster Aion, however, even despite this, he was weakened in the battle with Kurosaki and received a critical wound from Kisuke Urahara. After sending Ichigo to Soul Society, he regained some of his powers with the "Ranso Tengai" technique, then attacked all of Ichigo's remaining friends in Hueco Mundo and sealed Kurosaki "between the worlds". Killed by Grimmjow Jaegerjak.
• Jazz Domino (jap. シャズ・ドミノ)- Stern Ritter, whose distinguishing feature is the presence of a tattoo (scar) near the right eye. Throws kunai, with which it is likely to control the mind of the enemy. The rest of the abilities are unknown. Attacked and nearly destroyed the entire research department of the Gotei 13. Presumably killed by Kurosaki Ichigo.
• Nanana Nanjakup (jap. ナナナ・ナジャークープ ) - Stern "U" Ritter, a black man with large white glasses. In the battle for Soul Society, he fought with Rojuro Otoribashi, the captain of the 3rd Division. Attacked Yamamoto-Genryusai Shigekuni. Presumably burned in its flames.
• Es Nodt (jap. エス・ノト Esu Noto) - Stern Ritter "F", "Fear" (Russian "Fear"). A woman in a white cloak, whose face is hidden by a mask with spikes. While attacking Soul Society, she caused entire squads of Shinigami to flee with her attacks, causing the defeated opponents to scream in death. She fought with 6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki and 6th Division Lieutenant Renji Abarai. During the battle with them, he reveals the secret of his abilities. Es Nodt causes opponents struck by his spikes to experience a primal sense of fear and thus drives them insane. Against this ability, Byakuya lasted longer than normal Shinigami, however, he was also defeated. She kidnapped and turned Kuchiki's Bankai against him. After that, she attacked Yamamoto-Genryusai Shigekuni. Presumably burned in his flames.
• Bambietta Busterbine (jap. バンビエッタ・バスターバイン ) - Stern Ritter "E", a young girl in military uniform. In the battle with the Soul Society, she fought with the captain of the 7th division, Sajin Komamura, from whom she was able to steal a bankai, and the lieutenant of the 7th, Tetsuzamon Iba.

• Driscoll Burchi (jap. ドリスコール・ベルチ ) - Stern Ritter "O", "Overkill" (Russian "Destroyer"). A huge Quincy that can increase its own strength for each defeated opponent. He was part of the Luders Frigen squad during the attack on the 1st squad and killed Lieutenant Chojiro Sasakibe, as a result of which he possesses an amulet with his Bankai.

Other characters

Kon

Kon (jap. コン Kon) is an artificially created soul that replaces Ichigo inside the body during his transformations into a conductor of souls. Initially, Kon is a development of Soul Society researchers. It was subjected to a special modification under the program "Soul +". Unlike ordinary artificial souls, he can use the muscles of the legs of a temporary body by 300%: occupying Ichigo's body, he easily jumps over houses and delivers crushing blows far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person. But the "Soul +" project was declared unsuccessful and all souls of this type, except Kon, were destroyed. He managed to escape quite by accident. Because of this, his relationship with the Soul Conduits was far from idyllic, but thanks to Ichigo, Kon was not only not destroyed, but also given a temporary plush lion body.

Kon's name is short for Kaizo Kompaku (Jap. 改造魂魄, "changed soul") invented by Ichigo. Kon himself wanted to get the name Kai, which seemed more impressive to him, but Ichigo decided otherwise. Kon is usually in the body of a yellow plush lion. He is a Bleach comic character and rarely takes part in battles. In games, for example, in the series Bleach: Blade Battlers, Kon is proficient in many martial techniques - in particular, in Blade Battlers he can summon soccer balls and shoot them at his opponent. In the second part of the game Blade Battlers 2, Kon in enhanced mode increases to the size of a 5-storey building.

Reappears in chapter 516 of the manga, in Kurotsuchi Mayuri's laboratory. And also in chapters 517-518.

Kon's character is unexpectedly revealed in the Filler Arc "Assault on the Society of Souls", also - unofficially - known as the "Reigai Kageroza Uprising" - suddenly he gains courage and courage, which he - it would seem - lacked ...

Name: Kurosaki Ichigo
Status: Student Acting Shinigami
Age: 15 years
Growth: 174 cm
The weight: 61 kg
Blood type: AO
Birthday: July 7
Zanpakuto: Zangetsu
Seiyuu: Masakazu Morita
First appearance: Manga Volume 001, Chapter 001a
More about Zangetsu:
Like all shinigami, Ichigo has a Zanpakutō. His name is Zangetsu, "cutting the moon". For the material form in the form of a man 30-40 years old, Ichigo nicknamed Zangetsu "uncle".
During the first sealed stage, Zangetsu appeared to be a normal giant-sized Zanpakutō. This was due to the high reyatsu (spiritual power) of Ichigo. Initially, Ichigo carried the Zangetsu in a huge sheath on his back. The first Zangetsu was defeated by Kuchiki Byakuya during their first fight. The Shikai form of Zangetsu is an "incomplete sword", without scabbard or hilt. It looked like a huge butcher's knife. Ichigo's Zanpakutō differs from others in his Shikai form due to his high level of power. Kurosaki also didn't know the name of his Zanpakutō yet.
Zangetsu's special ability is Getsuga Tenshou - "moon fang that pierces the sky". The Zanpakutō fired balls of compressed energy in the shape of blue crescents. At first, Kurosaki used this ability without knowing the name, but then, after learning the name, he fully mastered it.
Bankai Zangetsu - Tensa Zangetsu - "celestial chain that cuts the moon" - was completely different from all zanpakutō. It looked like a normal "nodachi" katana (175 cm long), with a black blade and a short broken chain tied to the handle.
The enormous power of the Bankai allowed Ichigo to build up speed in excess of the shunpo (shunpo). During the second battle with Kuchiki Byakuya, Ichigo used Getsuga Tenshō in his hollow form, giving birth to a new technique called Kuroi Getsuga (Black Moon Fang). It was the same crescents, but now red and black, and Ichigo could already control their trajectory. Ichigo realized that this was a personal technique of his inner Hollow, and if he used it more than 3-4 times, the Hollow would take control of Ichigo's body.

Bleach's protagonist, Ichigo, is a 15-year-old teenager. At first glance, he may seem like a very gloomy guy, because. his eyebrows are always furrowed, giving him a very angry look. However, in reality, he turns out to be much kinder and more sensitive than his appearance suggests. Ichigo has a natural red hair color, which is very annoying for the high school students in his school, so he often has to fight with them. He cares little about what others think of him and seems to enjoy fighting.
Ichigo lives with his father, Kurosaki Isshin, and two sisters, Karin and Yuzu. His father owns a small medical clinic, which is located right in their house, so the whole family is forced to help him. Ichigo and his father constantly "fight" as a joke. Karin is a very active girl, she is also able to hold back her feelings, while Yuzu is very passive and emotional.
From the outside, the Kurosaki family looks quite normal, except for one thing - Ichigo is able to see and communicate with ghosts. All members of his family somehow possess some kind of spiritual abilities, but Ichigo has them most developed. Karin's abilities are weaker - she can only see ghosts (but not Shinigami or Hollows), and Yuzu only hears ghosts and sees vague outlines.
As the story continues, the spiritual power and abilities of everyone around Ichigo increase. Even his classmates and friends begin to feel the presence of ghosts. All this is happening because Ichigo has a huge "Reiatsu" (reiatsu) - a spiritual power that he can not yet control well enough.

Orihime is Ichigo's red-haired classmate who constantly wears blue flower hair clips. Orihime wears these hairpins in memory of her older brother, who gave them to her. Orihime also has a prominent bust, which is often the butt of jokes. She is friendly, kind, sensitive. She seems naive and not very smart, but she has quite high grades in school and is considered one of the most intelligent students. Orihime is very perceptive, especially when it comes to Ichigo Kurosaki. The girl also has a strong fantasy, because of which she sometimes comes up with absolutely incredible things (for example, she drew a futuristic landscape and herself in the form of a robot for the art competition "Who do I want to be in the future"). However, she does not understand technology at all, because. one of her classmates noticed that she didn't have a mobile phone just because she didn't know how to use it.

Her concern for Ichigo is very noticeable, she even confessed to Rangiku Matsumoto (Matsumoto Rangiku) that she is in love with him ... Orihime has a very strange taste in food, which only Rangiku shares. However, Inoue likes to eat regular food as well, such as the one prepared by Mama Tatsuki (Arisawa Tatsuki).

Kisuke Urahara is one of the most entertaining and mysterious characters in the Bleach anime and manga. He runs the "Urahara Shop", which sells various items for Shinigami in the world of the living. Kisuke's shop also has Ururu Tsumugiya, Jinta Hanakari, and Tessai Tsukabishi.

Urahara always wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals and a striped hat, which led Ichigo to call Urahara "the guy with the sandal hat" at one time. He is generally a laid-back and cheerful fellow, although he can be deadly when the situation calls for it. Kisuke once described himself as "a simple honest, handsome, slightly perverted businessman". In the anime fillers, Ganju Shiba called him "old man", to which Urahara replied that he was the same age as Ganju's sister, Kukaku Shiba.

Kisuke Urahara is always, one way or another, involved in the ongoing events, but he never participates in them, preferring to control everything from the outside. After Rukia was taken to Soul Society by Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai, Kisuke helped Ichigo acquire the power of a shinigami (after building a huge training cave under his shop). At his request, Yoruichi taught Orihime Inue and Chad how to use their power. Urahara always knows more than he lets on. Kisuke is familiar with most of the captains and lieutenants of the Gotei 13, as well as Ishin Kurosaki, Ichigo's father.

Zanpakuto

Kisuke Urahara's zapankto goes by the name Benihime. (Benihime, in translation - Dark red, scarlet princess). It is one of the few known zanpakutō with a female name. Benihime is hidden in a cane that Urahara constantly carries with him and on the basis of which there is a seal that can separate the soul from the body (exactly the same seal is on Rukia's glove). To transform a sword into a Shikai, Urahara uses the word "Okiro!" (“wake up”). In this form, Benihime appears as a sword, the blade of which flares out from a hilt adorned with a crimson ribbon. An attack called "Benihime's Scream" allows Urahara to perform energy strikes with his sword and create a so-called "Blood Shield" that protects Kisuke. At this point in time, it is not known what kind of Ban Kai Urahara has.

Former 2nd Squad Captain. Born into the noble "Shihouin" family, Yoruichi quickly became a captain due to her giftedness.

When Kisuke Urahara was expelled from Soul Society, she was forced to follow him. Since then, she has always accompanied him, transforming into a black cat.

Yoruichi is intelligent, sometimes caustic and self-confident, which sometimes borders on rudeness. He does not hide his talents and his natural beauty. In addition, she is quite realistic in assessing her capabilities, and therefore she can retreat if it seems reasonable to her.

He tries not to use his Zanpakutō. He is excellent at all kinds of demon magic and other aspects of the duel. The greatest master in the use of the quick step technique in the history of Soul Society. Even without using a sword, Yoruichi is already a very dangerous opponent for any captain.

Zanpakutō Yoruichi's name and true form are unknown. In the manga, it is only seen in a few pictures and looks like a kodachi or wakizashi short sword.

It can also be seen for a few short seconds in the OVA "The Sealed Sword Frenzy" when Yoruichi uses it against Hollows.

The Zanpakutō lengthens dramatically so that the use of the Shikai resembles a "shot". Such a "shot" cannot be evaded, it can only be blocked. In addition, Gin can "shoot" not only in a straight line. Sometimes, to defeat several opponents, he bends the blade (see anime).

Zanpakutō Renji becomes large and can expand and abdicate if Renji wishes. It can be thrown around like a whip and a piece thrown at an enemy.
Ban-Kai: Hihiou Zabimaru (Baboon King Zabimaru) Renji's zanpakutou transforms into a giant snake skeleton and coils around the base with it in the center.
The Segiments of Hihiou are related to Renji's Reiatsu, thus making him more powerful. Although big Hihiou is big zanpakutō endurance, even if it is losing one or two segments he can still fight.
Zabimaru's attack is very similar to his Shi-Kai, where Zabimaru can stretch and lash out. Renji can also shield himself with this form of zanpakutō. Renji's appearance also changes, he gets a neclace of teeth/claws around his neck, as well as a fur jacket print garmant, which descends only one arm and has a skull on its shoulder.

Zanpakuto: Suzumushi
Seiyuu: Toshiyuki Morikawa
First appearance: Manga Volume 010, Chapter 081
Information about Zanpakutō:
ShiKai: Suzumushi (Cricket)
Release command: specific movement, not specific word
Most believe that for the first time we see the form of Shikai Suzumushi after the fight between Ishida Uryuu and Captain Kurotsuchi. It follows from the nature of the Shikai that the Zanpakutō's abilities only awaken when the sword is released. Unlike well-known swords like Shinsō, Suzumushi is released with a special move. It is believed that by using his ability on Ishida, Suzumushi had already been released.
Suspended on the sword so that it can move, the loop supposedly creates a high frequency vibration that allows Tōsen to use the Nake (Scream) ability. When Kaname puts his hand on the edge of the loop, Suzumushi chimes on one clear note. The reflected sound deprives the consciousness of all who hear it.
Suzumushi's second ability, Benihiko (Purple Locust), manifests after moving and speaking at the same time. Jumping into the air with Suzumushi, Tōsen summoned Benihiko and swung his sword in front of him. Suzumushi vibrated, leaving a trail behind him. This trace materialized in the form of hundreds of sword-like peaks. With the second movement, the blades rushed down and pierced everything within a radius of several meters.

BanKai Suzumushi - Enma Kourogi (Demonic Cricket) seems to be based on Tōsen's blindness. After uttering a phrase and placing his hand on the edge of the ring on top of the sword, Kaname creates a field around the enemy that dampens sensations, even more terrible than just blindness. The ring expands and spins, releasing reiatsu, spinning faster and faster. The ring then separates, creating a black field around Tōsen and his prey, with a radius of about 60 meters. Once inside, Tōsen gains the upper hand over an opponent who has lost his senses: sight, smell, hearing, speech, and the sense of reiatsu. The only remaining sense is touch, and a rather specific pain. Due to holding the Suzumushi, Tōsen is able to retain his senses and fight the opponent. A true hell where you can't even express the pain when you're cut to pieces, Tōsen's elegant and intricate Bankai seems terribly treacherous. The only way to avoid the Bankai is to grab hold of Suzumushi.
By holding the sword, the opponent can see and feel.

Manga is becoming more and more popular in Europe. Fans come to know her through anime. Bleach is one of the popular projects. It is distinguished by unexpected plot twists, appropriate humor and moments that touch the soul. Bleach was based on a manga written by Kubo Taito. The process of working on the work took the author 15 years.

History of creation

Bleach author Tite Kubo

The biography of the creator of the manga is curious. The illustrator admitted that since childhood he dreamed of this profession. Kubo competed in a competition run by the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and although he did not win a prize, he gained a following among journalists. Taito's subsequent work was unsuccessful, which provoked stress and uncertainty about his own abilities. The author even thought about changing the field of activity. But in 2001, Shonen Jump published the first part of a manga about a red-haired teenager.

The work told about the supernatural abilities that suddenly appeared in the boy, thanks to which he becomes a fighter for justice. Despite the simplicity of the plot, the manga quickly attracted the public, and its adaptation soon appeared. The mass of thematic products - from computer games to musicals - plunged fans into delight. The history of the creation of the work began in 2001 and ended in 2016. Many anime series were created based on this work.

Composing manga is not easy, because the author is forced to provide the publisher with a new chapter once a week, adhering to a stipulated schedule. The specificity of the work lies in the fact that the artist draws the main objects, and the assistants work on the details and minor nuances. Each chapter of the work is accompanied by an epigraph composed by the author in a comedic or dramatic manner. Bleach turned out to be so popular that an anime was made based on it, voice actors recorded CDs with accompanying music, and CDs with the voice of the protagonist.

Today, according to the Bleach manga, they create fanfiction and arrange cosplay meetings in which the heroes act as Ulquiorra and associates, fighting against Stark.

Bleach Anime

Ulquiorra Schiffer is an Espada of the Arrancar army. He is an attractive young man of medium height with a melancholy expression. In the appearance of the young man there is slovenliness, black hair is sloppily styled. The sad appearance is emphasized by the pallor of the skin, thin lips and bangs falling over the eyes. The young man's facial expressions are minimal, and a frown is his normal mood. The young man loves to sleep.

In clothes, the hero prefers the classics, wears a white shirt and hakama, girded with a black belt, on which a zanpakutō hangs. Like other members of his race, Ulquiorra belongs to the Hollows. His hole is in his chest. On the head are the remains of the mask. On the left chest is a tattoo confirming his origin. In the image of the Empty, Ulquiorra combined the same features of appearance. A mask of the same white color as the body covered the face. Black wings and two large ears made him look like a bat.

Cold and impartial, the hero personified indifference and was always ready to strike both opponents and close comrades. He spoke disparagingly of those who did not attract his interest. At the same time, the hero never entered into a fight with the enemy just like that. By opposing Ichigo, he gained his soul and knew his true feelings.

It is scary to be the one Ulquiorra is interested in, because in such a case, he inflicts a fatal blow to the chest, where his hole is located. He explained to Orihime that he did not believe in the soul and feelings, as he could not test them by touch. A materialist, he does not distinguish between sensual principles, therefore, during his life, he exists as if on the verge, where it does not matter whether you are alive or dead.

Coldness and emotionlessness allow the hero to maintain control at any moment, so it is difficult to scare or surprise him. During the fight with Ichigo, he understands the value of the human soul and sees no point in continuing the fight. It turns into Segunda Etapa. Ulquiorra says that humans imitate Hollows the same way Arrancar imitate Shinigami.

The hero is distinguished by insight, prudence and cunning. Having got to people, he notices all the key features of everyone who meets on his way. Ulquiorra sees the characteristics of the girl's strength and knows what Ichigo is capable of. Fluctuations in the strength range of the latter are also no secret to him.

Ulquiorra, having been defeated by Ichigo, asks to kill him and accepts death favorably, unlike other representatives of his people, who, dying, curse their judges. Dying, the character enters the world of Fairy Tail.

Before the Espada, Ulquiorra felt immense loneliness, being white in the black world - one of a kind. He mourned his fate until one day he found a large white tree with thorns. Ulquiorra plunged into its trunk and after some time was recruited into the Espada.

The hero has unprecedented powers and abilities. He masterfully manages the sword and masters the techniques of hand-to-hand combat, demonstrates amazing speed and ingenuity. Green gray bursts out of Ulquiorra's fingers, exploding the enemy, and spiritual power flies out of the character's fist in the form of red charges.

A curious feature of the hero is that he can spray his eye and show others what he witnessed, including his feelings. Ulquiorra's Zanpakutō is a familiar katana. But he has magical abilities: he contains a flow of energy. Ulquiorra, turning into a Hollow, becomes a bat. He develops wings and a tail with which he can kill without arms.

• The meaning of the name Ulquiorra stands for, in accordance with the Spanish expression, as "the one who cries." Two green lines extending from the eyes of the hero resemble traces of tears.
• Ulquiorra is the first Arrancar to be depicted in computer games.
• The real name of the manga creator Kubo Taito is Kubo Noriaki.

Quotes

“It's convenient for you humans to think that you can share feelings with your friends while they are still alive ... This is the way you instinctively avoid fear and despair. You cannot convey your feelings to someone. It's just a mindless invention of people."

“If happiness exists in this world, then it must be like an endless void. Nothingness is when you have nothing and there is nothing to lose.”

“I realized: her hand, reaching out to me, is the soul ...”

The Japanese-made Bleach anime has impressed the whole world, and now it is in the same place with such world-famous series as "Naruto", One peace and "Fairy Tail". You can talk a lot about him, but now we will figure out in detail who, where and when participated in the anime. Below will be a list of Bleach characters with a detailed description of the main characters, as well as a little touch on the ones that stand out. It is impossible not to notice that the anime was never filmed from the manga.

The main characters of the anime "Bleach": Kurosaki Ichigo

The main character is Kurosaki Ichigo - an ordinary high school student with an unusual ability to see spirits and monsters, which makes him special among everyone, but he does not tell anyone about it. But one day, Rukia Kuchiki comes to his hometown, who has been appointed as the caretaker. Getting into a skirmish, Rukia almost loses to a giant hollow, but our hero rushes to her aid, who, under duress, becomes a shinigami using the power of Kuchiki. At the same time, she did not act according to the charter, for which she would later be punished. From this moment begins a long, but eventful path of the savior. He constantly argues with almost everyone, while the other characters in Bleach respect him.

At the very end of the manga, it is revealed that Kurosaki is a powerful cross between a human, a shinigami, a Hollow, and a Quincy, making him the most outstanding and different from everyone else.

Character abilities

Hand-to-hand combat expert. As a child, he trained with Tatsuki at the dojo. So he subsequently became a strong fighter who fought back all the bullies in the area, even from other schools, thereby earning himself a bad reputation.

Possessor of great spiritual power. From the very beginning of the series, after he gained the power of a shinigami, everyone was surprised by the amount of his walkie-talkie. The sword of any warrior displayed his spiritual strength. He had a gigantic katana compared to the others, which terrified his enemies. Then, throughout the anime, all the captains will be surprised at his abilities.

Sword master. He masterfully handles his huge sword, which will change its size throughout the anime. In all series-battles of Ichigo and his enemies, you can see what skillful tricks he uses to win at all costs.

Quincy and Hollow powers. His distinctive abilities made Kurosaki special and unpredictable. He rose from the dead and, going into the form of an Arrancar recursion, which is impossible in theory, destroyed Ulquiora in a few seconds, who until that moment had been very much in control of the situation.

Uryū Ishida

Uryuu Ishida is a purebred Quincy, very selfish, but devoted to friends, however, many Bleach characters did not consider him a friend. Then it turns out that he, as it were, betrays them, but in fact he very cleverly got into trust and at a fatal moment sided with Ichigo in order to defeat his progenitor - Yahweh Bach - the father of all Quincy. Basically, he was taught everything by his grandfather, who wanted to transfer all his knowledge to the one who would use it, unlike his father, for whom this is meaningless, since there is no profit from this. He achieved great success both in possession of a bow and in handling a sword. Although the Quincy does not have a katana, Uryū uses the Zeleshneider, a fearsome weapon consisting of a tip of spiritual particles that can cut the bonds between them, and a hilt that resembles a sword in some way. Uryū develops in various areas:

1. A master of the bow. He will reach such a state that he will be able to release 1200 arrows in a second, which no one can reflect. Uryuu is also so trained in handling particles that he can change the trajectory of an arrow in flight.
2. Hyorinkyaku master. This is the highest degree of a quick step, which is ahead of the instant step and sanido in speed. Uryuu himself mastered the hyorinkyaku well, he is able to easily catch up with Soi Fong, which is considered the fastest in the Seireitei.

Inoue Orihime

Very kind and sympathetic, for which she is loved by all the characters of "Bleach". The girl is Ichigo's classmate who is head over heels in love with him. And it was precisely because she spent a lot of time next to him, and he, as we know, had a large amount of spiritual energy that he could not control well, that's why she had the powers of Shun Shun Rikka, which more than once helped in the battles. He is also the central figure in the anime, who every time turns hopeless situations in favor of Ichigo. Because of her, Kurosaki went into the recursion stage in order to defeat Ulquiora, who killed him as well and almost killed Uryuu. Capabilities:

1. Santen Kisyun. Orihime's defensive technique, which is a three-sided shield that reflects all attacks, but it should be noted that there is a relationship between attack and self-confidence.
2. Hundred Kisyun. Reality Denial is the most powerful healing technique in the Bleach universe, able to restore both the tangible and the intangible that no longer exists in nature. The full power was shown in the episode where Inoue restored Grimjow's incinerated arm.
3. Kitten Zansyun. An offensive attack on the enemy, which is done by the only one of the six petals on the hairpins - Tsubaki. Technique requires not only self-confidence, but also concentration on the place where the blow will be made. If Tsubaki is hurt, then he does not die, he can be restored, but it will take a large amount of time.

Yasutora "Chad" Sado

He is also Ichigo's classmate, and similarly gained his power from interacting with Ichigo. He became friends with him when Kurosaki saved him from offenders and showed him in what direction he could redirect his power. The man himself is quiet and calm, in the entire anime, not a single frame was shown when he would be furious or enraged. The rest of the Bleach characters are neutral towards him.

Has the power of submission. The Subduer arc will go into detail about total subjugation and everything that goes with it, and up to this point, it has only been said once that its power is related to Hollows. It is expressed in the transformation of his hand, and then his hands. One is a shield, the other attacks with such force that Kempachi Zaraki himself would envy him. And Sado's shield can even deflect Cero Menos Grande, making him a particularly strong opponent.

Conclusion

This is only a small part of all the characters, there are about a hundred of them. Each has its own distinctive abilities. If you want to know more, then there is a Bleach section of the wiki characters for this. There you will find all the information you need. The new Bleach characters will only appear in the manga because Kubo Taiho didn't want to make a sequel.
