What an interesting episode Bleach 353 has been. Ichigo finally meets the person who stabbed Uryu Ishida (Or it is? ). Ginjo defends Ichigo from Tsukishima’s harm and the Xcution HQ gets a hole. Like they didn’t any light in there.

If you guys didn’t watch last week’s episode, read about the fight between Jackie Tristan and Ichigo Kurosaki here.

Today’s episode first starts with Riruka’s Dollhouse being cut while Jackie and Ichigo bring thrown out. We see Jackie nearly being killed due to the overwhelming power Ichigo has. She becomes unconscious because she’s ran out of reiatsu.

As Chad looks at Ichigo’s new look, he notices that it looks a lot like a Shihakusho (A Garment a Soul Reaper is required to wear). He first presumes that his Soul Reaper powers have returned, but then questions himself and says it’s a Clad-Type Fullbring. For Ichigo, wearing his power is his true form.

Tsukishima then strikes Ichigo with his sword to test, how well Ichigo can defend himself. Ichigo asks who he is and Tsukishima replies “I’m Shukuro Tsukishima”. As soon as he says this, Chad jumps up and tries to smash Tsukishima, instead he smashes a hole in the Xcution HQ wall.

Outside, Ichigo hears Chad and Ginjo talking about how Orihime was attacked by Tsukishima. Ichigo then realizes that his friends were so concerned about him. At this point Ichigo goes on an all out attack on Tsukishima to kill him for attacking Orihime and Uryu.

Ginjo has been very shocked at Ichigo progression of getting his Fullbring, since he’s going at a very quick pace. When we saw Ichigo used his Bringer Light during Jackie Tristan’s fight, he used it again here. Ginjo gets very shocked here also. As always Ichigo keeps attacking, both using the Bringer Light on the concrete as well as the air to catapult himself to where Tsukishima is. As he does this, Tsukishima attacks him and Ichigo’s Fullbring disappears from his left arm. This is similar to his Bankai, his reiatsu corresponds to his wear-able cloths.

As Tsukishima goes for the crucial blow, Ginjo steps in to save Ichigo. For those who are unaware of Tsukishima’s Fullbring and what effects it has on objects and people, I’ll explain. Well, Tsukishima can insert his “presence” into the pasts of whatever he cuts with his sword such as, people or objects, and appears to gain knowledge of the memories that have been altered. To those affected by this power, it doesn’t matter whether they trust him or not. To them, Tsukishima was always a part of their past. From somewhere in their lives, as family, a friend or lover, he is deeply entrenched into their personal lives, even to the point of usurping other’s roles in history. If Tsukishima cuts the same person twice, they will return to normal.

This might come to a surprise to most of you, but Ginjo was cut once before by Tsukishima, and when Tsukishima strikes Ginjo this time, the presence of Tsukishima on Ginjo is wiped clean. From this point on, the attitude Ginjo has on Ichigo changes. From what he says “Now shut up and go to sleep.” to when Ginjo elbows Ichigo right in the neck.

From this point on, Ginjo has probably got his memories back and thus knows what’s going on. And the fight between Tsukishima and Ginjo was also somewhat fake as they both weren’t giving it all, all when Ginjo released his Fullbring powers from his sword which smashed and toppled a building.

As they both fight, Ichigo attacks Tsukishima from the back. Attack after attack, Tsukishima and Chad both notice that Ichigo’s attack has changed, to a little from like Ginjo’s. As they both fight, Ichigo’s pressure increases dramatically and his reiatsu goes from his black reiatsu to his old black and red reiatsu. Tsukishima’s hand gets burned in the process. “Your power is now much closer to the power you once possessed.” This said by Tsukishima, hints that Tsukishima has been looking at Ichigo for a long time now.

As Ichigo goes for an attack, Yukio steps in with his Fullbring “Invaders Must Die” to lock up Ichigo as this fight progresses. As Ginjo mentioned, Ichigo should stop fighting with his current incomplete Fullbring, and should finish it before he is killed.

What a fantastic episode that was. Plus the number of words that I’ve written is blowing my mind. I guess, amazing episodes deserve a cool 750+ word blog post. I’m sure next week’s Bleach 354 episode will be incredible!

Another late entry to last weeks Bleach Manga. Bleach 478 has a calm and more of an emotional feel to it. All members of Xcution except for Giriko Kutsuzawa and Kugo Ginjo, have survived. But do not have Fullbring powers.

During Bleach 477, Ginjo had died by the hands of Ichigo which brought Tsukishima to kill Ichigo because Tsukishima saw Ginjo as his master and savior. Read about it here.

During today’s late release of Bleach 478, Tsukishima griefs over the death of Ginjo. “Why Did You Die?!” cries Tsukishima. Tsukishima looked up to Ginjo as a leader and as a master due to the fact that he was saved some time ago. “You thought me how to use my abilities, your thought me how to fight! But why didn’t your teach me what to do if you ever died?!”

After receiving several blows from Byakuya’s Senbonzakura, Tsukishima’s spits out a lot of blood as he pushes himself to an answer. At this moment, he notices Shishigawara standing in front of him. As he notices Shishigawara, he simply smiles and figures something out.

Now we cut off to where Riruka is being cared for, Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime are all with her. As Orihime mentions that no one else was found, Riruka quickly jumps to “What about Tsukishima?”, unknowingly Orihime doesn’t know who that is due to the fact that Tsukishima’s powers have reversed. At this moment, Riruka realizes that she’s now alone with no other friend from her Xcution group. She cry’s realizing this.

Since Tsukishima is now unable to walk, Shishigawara helps Tsukishima by giving him a piggy-back. Shishigawara compliments Tsukishima on not dying, “I thought about it a lot but i couldn’t do it. Tsukishima you’re still the strongest!” says Shishigawara. All these compliments suggests that he really does look up to Tsukishima with his heart, therefore doing anything for Tsukishima.

After listening to what Shishigawara had to said, Tsukishima finally realizes that he and Ginjo have a similar relationship to what Shishigawara and Tsukishima have. He thanks Shishigawara for all his help. Shishigawara laughs it off and says that they are bro’s.Tsukishima realizes that he was never alone because Shishigawara was always there with him.

What a great chapter that was! Great upsetting ending to what is Bleach 478! The last chapter for the year, and now we come into 2012 with a brand new story! Hopefully Tite Kubo has a great story a head starting with Bleach 479!

Bleach 357 is one crazy episode. Starting off with Ichigo training to perfect his Fullbring, while both Inoue and Chad go to school to have a normal day.

We start of with Orihime and Chad walking to school, they both talk about what Tsukishima’s Fullbring ability is. Both of them have been cut by his blade, but had no effect until this episode. His abilities start to appear within Orihime as her most fond memory of herself and her brother come back, but with a dark figure which has a face looking like Tsukishima’s.

As they arrive at school, they are greeted by Tatsuki and Keigo. Both Chad and Orihime notice that their friends have had contact with someone possessing strong Spiritual Pressure.

When they both go to the Hospital to see how Ishida is doing, they notice that he has escaped from the hospital. As he could have finally remembered who had cut him in the first place.

As they go to the Miyashita High School, they notice that Moe Shishigawara is not there and had to run as the other school kids were running after them. They came to a stop below a railway, at this time Orihime started to see different things which meant that Tsukishima’s powers were taking effect.

Orihime started to see how when she was little, Tsukishima came to help her out or when they went with Tsukishima to Soul Society to get Rukia back. She being confused had an effect as they weren’t able to kill him.

Angry Chad, opens his Fullbring and starts out with a massive explosive attack. Both Chad and Tsukishima start to fight on top of a building while Orihime helps her using her powers.

When Chad is close enough, he opens his Brazo Izquierdo Del Diablo, which really does take an effect on Tsukishima as he is now really injured, even if his quick. Chad shouts for Orihime to attack, at this moment Tsukishima gets Orihime under his attack and her vision of her brother changes to Tsukishima.

Out of panic, Chad attacks and is quickly taken under Tsukishima’s special ability also. This meant that both of them are now under his full control. Both unconscious on the pavement, at this moment, Bleach 357 ends!

Well that was an amazing episode. Really can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 358 episode when Ichigo is really to open his Fullbring. This is when the real panic is going to kick in for Ichigo. All his family and friends will turn on him and make him go crazy.

Within the latest Bleach episode, Ichigo had gone completely crazy after he successfully released his Fullbring Form. Ichigo becomes very stressed after seeing that both his friends and his family are caught under Tsukishima technique.

We start the episode with Tsukishima first visiting Ichigo’s house and act as thought he is their far cousin. As Ichigo enters the living room, he quickly notices that Tsukishima is sitting down on the sofa, the feeling changes quickly from a calm to a dark time as Tsukishima has gotten within the Kurosaki family.

As both Ichigo’s sisters talk to Tsukishima in a normal manner, Ichigo quickly becomes enraged and runs up to Tsukishima and pushes him while holding his shirt to ask him what he’s doing there. Both sisters becomes surprised and try to hold Ichigo back.

The door bell rings and Karin is told to go open the door, at this point his school friends come by which just leads Ichigo to go absolute terror freezing him in one spot, as well as asking himself what is truly happening here. As Ichigo’s friends come by, he spots that they are also both within the control of Tsukishima.

Tsukishima threatens Ichigo by calling Orihime and Chad to prove that they are also within Tsukishima’s control. At this point, Ichigo punches him right in the chin sending Tsukishima back and breaking the window glass. This makes his friends and sisters uneasy as they don’t understand what is currently happening.

Ichigo’s friends quickly make Ichigo apologies but at the heat of the moment, Ichigo is unable to take the pressure making him get out of the room. As he runs out of the room, he notices that Ikumi Unagiya finds him running everywhere. Furthermore, Ikumi takes Ichigo to the shop to rest and talk about the problem. Ikumi tries to help Ichigo by showing that she cares about him and that he should just calm down and open to her, while the door bell rings.

At this moment, he notices that at the door is Tsukishima who is looking for Ichigo. Out of panic, Ichigo once again runs, but at this moment Ginjo pops out of know where within the same situation as Ichigo. The Xcution crew are all under Tsukishima control and all of them have a clear goal, which has currently not been told. At this point, the episode ends at another high.

That was a fantastic episode with both good and bad things happening. Terrifying Tsukishima tries to scare the hell out of Ichigo by inserting himself into the memories of his friends and family. I can no longer wait for the Bleach 359 as that’s going to be another epic episode.

Ichigo has gone crazy for a while now. In Bleach 359, Ichigo finally gets his chance to fight Tsukishima, but then his best friends, Chad and Orihime appear with confused faces while Ichigo is absolutely shocked by Orihime healing Tsukishima.

We start the episode with Ichigo and Ginjo running away to the hideout. They find out that Yukio is also there, but not to fight. Ginjo asks him how he was able to find them, his explanation was that he had left a type of tracer on Ginjo which allows Yukio to track them.

They are lead to Tsukishima house. They found out that all his friends are there, this includes: Yuzu, Karin, Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro and Ikumi. They are all there so they  can help Ichigo get over the incident about the punch, as well as making Ichigo apologize to Tsukishima for this mistake.

Ichigo becomes angered and runs to find out where Tsukishima is as he wants to kill him for what his done. Ginjo described that Tsukishima can change people’s past memories, which he has done to Ichigo’s friends and family.

Naruto enters a room to find that members of the Xcution are inside, Riruka, Giriko and Jackie all surround him while Tsukishima comes forward. We then see a large enough explosion, Ginjo walks in ready to fight. As Ichigo’s task was to fight Tsukishima, they are able to do so while Ginjo takes Giriko, Jackie and Riruka on.

We see that within this fight, Tsukishima is really surprised to see that Ichigo has been able to quickly gain his Fullbring. He also notices that his Fullbring abilities are way more advanced that he had expected. Ichigo then gets really serious about this match as he wants to kill Tsukishima.

An unexpected attack appears by Chad and Orihime, as they step in the scene. As Tsukishima was previously injured, Inoue quickly heals him with a worried face. Here Chad tries to remind of all the times when Tsukishima was there to help them to conquer and win, during the fight between Aizen and Ichigo or when they went to save Inoue from Hueco Mundo.

Ichigo becomes shocked and looses his concentration, this opportunity allows Tsukishima to get close to him, this makes Ichigo strike his sword and miss. Then Ichigo keeps pushing to kill Tsukishima.

Within the next Bleach 360, Ichigo will have a real tough time while killing Tsukishima as both of his friends Orihime and Chad will be there to stop him, as they have both been taken under Tsukishima’s Fullbring technique. It’s going to be one very emotional yet exciting episode.

A very shocking episode as Ichigo realizes that Ishida is in his side, while Tsukishima and Ginjo are both on the opposing start, the performance Ginjo gave was both convincing as well as dark, since it brought the whole plan together.

We start this fantastic episode with Moe Shishigawara entering the scene to fight Ginjo. Surprisingly, Ginjo could not detect the type of power that Moe has, although Ginjo was somewhat afraid of his power as he wasn’t able to see anything on this hands that would do such a thing.

At this point, Ichigo if fighting Tsukishima, but every blow Ichigo goes to hit Tsukishima with, both Inoue and Chad come and stop him. This allows Tsukishima to get an advantage both in numbers as well as mentally because Ichigo doesn’t fully understand what is going on here.

Tsukishima explains his powers to Ichigo, Book of the End, splits the past. Tsukishima’s Fullbring powers doesn’t manipulate time and memories, but in fact it has the ability to insert Tsukishima’s ‘presence’ into a person’s past, when Tsukishima slices someone like he did with Orihime and Chad.

Tsukishima then taunts Ichigo that he and he only has the only memory which is fake, Ichigo then looses it and attacks him right on, and is stopped Orihime’s shield. Chad then attacks Ichigo, which is stopped by only one hand from Ichigo, showing how powerful Ichigo has gotten just within this form. Chad starts to complain to Ichigo that he didn’t become strong to fight him, but in fact became strong to fight Tsukishima which has currently got Chad under his control.

Ichigo is punched out of the room by Chad’s Brazo Izquieda Del Diablo. Here, Ichigo now has the ability to fight Tsukishima properly, as Orihime and Chad are not going to get in the middle due to them fighting in the air.

We return back to Ginjo’s fight, Jackie Tristan releases her Dirty Boots Fullbring, Giriko Kutsuzawa does the same by releasing his Time Tells No Lies Fullbring. Riruka also releases her Dollhouse Fullbring, which is in the form of a Gun.

Moe then comes behind Ginjo and hits the guard which broke off. His Fullbring Jackpot Knuckle has the ability to control the odds and draw out the jackpot right from the start. Depending on the odds, the higher the odds the more powerful the attack while the lower the odds the less powerful the attack.

Outside, Tsukishima realizes that Ichigo has grown a lot more powerful as he is now able to release the Getsuga Tensho even in Fullbring mode. His powers have reawakened as well as the speed of his attacks are way faster than Tsukishima had anticipated.

Moe is then left to make sure that Ginjo is pushed outwards outside where Ichigo and Tsukishima are. As Tsukishima is going to be hit, Ginjo puts himself in the middle which causes him to be stabbed by Tsukishima.

Ginjo thinks that the effects of his Fullbring will take effect at a point, but in fact he then realizes that his original memories come back, this was due to him being stabbed a second time. This was all a plan for Ginjo to get stabbed once more at a specific time where Ichigo will feel as though Ginjo is his ally.

At this moment, Uryu Ishida appears, Ichigo thinks that, as Ishida was stabbed by Tsukishima, he is on the opposing side. Ishida tells Ichigo to come to Ishida’s side while he has his Ginrei Kojaku. He aims at what seems Ichigo, but as Ginjo gets up, Ishida yells “The guy who cut me, is the guy standing behind you!”, and sends a shot at Ginjo.

At this exciting moment, Ichigo then is cut horridly but Ginjo. He then explains that a second stab from Tsukishima neutralizes the effects from the sword. Ginjo’s Substitute Badge appears and places it over his sword, this changes the guard of it, giving it a skull on the guard. Ginjo ends this episode by saying “Your Fullbring Is Mine” and then stabbing Ichigo with his sword.

What a cruel episode, Ichigo must be going through a bunch of emotions right now, although I’m sure next week’s Bleach 361 episode, he’s going to kick everyone’s ass, since something BIG is coming up! And also don’t forget to tell me what you guys thought about today’s episode.

Bleach 361 is one fantastic episode! Ichigo finds out that Ginjo has been the enemy all along, as form Uryu, he knew all along. Rukia shows up with Urahara and Isshin, while Renji, Byakuya, Toshiro, Zaraki and Ikkaku show up to help them with the Xcution.

We start the episode as both Ichigo and Uryu are pinned down by Tsukishima and Ginjo. Ichigo hasn’t been able to do anything as Ginjo’s Fullbring Sword is inside of him. We flash back a little to find out that before Uryu was stabbed, Tsukishima was the suspect, but Ishida realizes that it was in fact Ginjo as his sword caused a lot more damage.

It is then revealed to us that Tsukishima has also cut other of Ichigo’s friends and families, such as Orihime, Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro, Chad and his sisters, Karin and Yuzu. Uryu said that he had a hunch that something was going on with them since they  had something different about them. Ginjo then states that they have been following the same routine from the beginning, meaning that they have done this more than once before.

At this point, Ichigo keeps listening to what they have all to say about their plans. Ginjo continuous to tells Ichigo that Ichigo had to pushed in order to join Xcution so he could work together with Ginjo himself, so he could gain the power himself.

When Ichigo’s powers start to be absorbed, Ichigo realizes that he has no way to stop it. As it completes, Ginjo starts to walk off with Tsukishima, while Ginjo starts to raise his voice while demanding that Ginjo gives back his Fullbring Powers.

As Ichigo shouts to get Ginjo’s attention, while a sword stabs Ichigo from the back. Ichigo turns his head and sees Isshin and Urahara. Isshin tells him that he wasn’t the one who stabbed him. He looks at the base of the sword and notices that Rukia has materialized in front of him.

At this point, Ichigo transforms into his New Shinigami Form, found here. Now as Ichigo has gained his Shinigami powers, he realizes that Ichigo is able to fight Ginjo with all of his new Shinigami powers.

As Ginjo and Ichigo start to fight, Ichigo sends out a wave of a throw which Ginjo mistakenly thinks it as a Getsuga Tenshou, but a few seconds later he realizes that it’s not a Getsuga Tenshou because when Ichigo had sent it, he didn’t say the words.

As Ichigo builds his power for a Getsuga Tenshou, Ginjo becomes shocked by the amount of pressure Ichigo is able to give out when he is doing this move. At this point Ichigo launches his Getsuga Tenshou, but unfortunately it had missed Ginjo completely and hit the house behind him. Ginjo is shocked by the amount of power Ichigo has.

Damn, that was seriously an amazing episode! Ichigo has gained his powers again after Aizen’s battle. Can’t wait for next week’s episode where this battle carries on! Also something amazing is coming soon for this arc as Ichigo becomes even more powerful (Hint).

The latest Bleach 364 surrounds the story of Byakuya and Tsukishima and their fight. We learn that even though Tsukishima has the power to read Byakuya’s past, within one fight Byakuya had come up with techniques to fight his opponent using new techniques. During Riruka and Rukia’s fight, Riruka mysteriously disappears leaving Rukia to win by default.

We start the episode with Moe hanging on to Ikkaku as he wants to keep fighting on Tsukishima’s name. He states that he would throw his life away for him no matter what. Ikkaku makes him realize that when people say something like that, it’s usually both ways. And what Moe is thinking is what a kid would think of.

We go to Byakuya and Tsukishima’s dimension. They both slowly learn more about how they fight. As for Tsukishima, he has set up a trap when he scraped his sword against the ground. Tsukishima cuts Byakuya’s Shikai pink blades and is able to see into its past. Then at that second, Byakuya is cut.

Tsukishima then explains that Byakuya has a special 85 cm safe zone which  surrounds him which is there to make sure that he is not cut accidentally. Tsukishima considers this as a weakness as if he gets into this safe zone he is able to defeat him.

Tsukishima then tells him that his techniques which he had developed will not work on him. Specially his  Senkei and Gokei, he then states that even his Hakuteiken will not work on him, since Tsukishima has somehow faced it many times before now thus, he has learnt about his techniques.

We return to Rukia and Riruka’s fight where Rukia is not able to defeat the animal plush since they are adorable. Once Riruka fires a wardrobe, she describes it as something normal as it’s not cute. She then sends another animal which Rukia dodges. Riruka then tops up her powers and sends an even more powerful green looking liquid thing which Rukia freezes with her Sodenoshirayuki.

Riruka sends an Addiction Shot which hits Rukia and she enters a devil/rabbit plush, she realizes that she’s able to use her spiritual energy such as her flash step, but she isn’t able to use her Hado since she is located inside the doll itself. Once she is captured by Riruka, she listens to how some of the Fullbring members become one due to Ginjo’s action of bringing them together to survive from other ‘idiots’.

At this moment, when Riruka is distracted, Rukia uses her Somenomai, Tsukishiro which creates a large ice which freezes Riruka’s left leg as she tries to jump to remove herself from this place. As they both attack each other, Riruka tickles her nose to bring Rukia out. She attacks and her weapon on her left hand activates, which currently I presume is to leech Rukia’s reiatsu, and thus she escapes from the dimension somehow leaving Rukia to lie there unconscious.

We return to Byakuya’s match where he opens his Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, which goes towards Tsukishima, as Tsukishima attacks it is blocked as Byakuya has limited his safe zone. As Byakuya’s Bankai is too slow he isn’t able to attack Tsukishima due to his limited speed.

Tsukishima enters his safe zone bringing Byakuya’s blades into it which attacks his own hand since it was in the place where the blades where actually aiming for. As for Tsukishima, he quickly backs off which allows him to not get injured. Byakuya’s arm gets all the damage, but he holds something in injured hand.

As Tsukishima gets closer, Byakuya brings his hand up and as he gets even closer, he obliterates Tsukishima by making a hole in his chest with the blades he had in his arm when he was mistakenly attacked by his own Bankai. Tsukishima lies down and is nearly dead. The episode ends here.

What an amazing episode, Tsukishima and Riruka have been defeated! Bleach 365 will be amazing since we’ll see Ichigo’s New Bankai Look, the fight between Ikkaku and Moe will also end. Ichigo vs Ginjo will be epic, as he blows Yukio’s dimension into pieces after releasing his Getsuga Tenshou.

There couldn’t be a more fantastic episode which brought The Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc to an end. Ginjo is defeated by Ichigo, Tsukishima angers and tries to kill Ichigo while Riruka pops out from Rukia’s chest to stop Tsukishima. Riruka gets on her way while Ichigo goes to Soul Society to get Ginjo’s body to give him a proper burial.

We start the episode as Ichigo keeps on fighting while Toshiro, Byakuya, Zaraki and Ikkaku watch to see what Ichigo’s decision is. They do this and return back to Soul Society, Rukia interrupts them to ask why they aren’t helping. They remind Rukia that they originally came there to see what Ichigo’s choice was.

Toshiro explains that the Soul Society was aware that once the next Substitute Shinigami appeared, Ginjo would set his sign on him sooner or later. At this point, the Soul Society would use the Substitute Shinigami to track down Ginjo and eliminating both of them. At the point of contact with the Substitute Shinigami changed the Soul Society. They had shared their powers with him as well as watch his actions as they dispatched their captains rather then kill him. At this moment, Toshiro and the others are glad that the Substitute Shinigami was Ichigo and no one else since he was the only person to change the rigidity that the Soul Society had in more then a million years.

We carry on with Ichigo and Ginjo’s fight as Ichigo jumps from place to place very quickly. At most points Ginjo is able to block the attack but unfortunately not be able to get a hit on Ichigo. Ginjo thinks of how he wanted to crush the Shinigami’s who betrayed him. He had expected Ichigo to argue with his plans, but at this point Ichigo is no where near angry, he seems as thought he wants to understand how Ginjo works, and look at the situation from his perspective.

Ginjo launches a Cero from the point of his sword to find out that Ichigo has the power to directly stop it only by using hand. Ichigo raises his sword and cuts him with a direct attack. They both fall to find that they’ve broken the ground. They both keep fighting for a few more seconds, when Ichigo strikes Ginjo and breaks the top of his sword. Ginjo then falls to the ground as he’s unable to fight any longer. He wonders if they both would have been friends if the situation was different.

At this point, Tsukishima comes out from no where to attack Ichigo from the back, Riruka senses this, as she’s located within Rukia’s chest. She opens the door and pops out to sop the attack from Tsukishima. She tells him to face the facts. They couldn’t save Ginjo, as he saved them. She then states that the only person to save Ginjo was in fact Ichigo.

A small past part appears where Ginjo is telling Tsukishima that instead of going by himself, he should tag along with Ginjo so they wouldn’t be lonely. Tsukishima says that Ginjo had tought him everything, from using his powers to fighting. But one thing he didn’t teach him was what to do when he had died. He chokes blood, Tsukishima finds Shishigawara in front of him who’s there to help him. He realizes that he is no longer alone.

Yukio see’s Jackie Tristan. He compliments on how she’s alive and how that’s nice. Yukio notices that Jackie’s Fullbring Dirty Boots have been completely turned useless. Jackie had found Giriko’s watch and dead body, so she had buried them together. She also mentions that he had died with his powers and how much envy she has for being able to die with her Fullbring abilities.

Riruka wakes up as she heal from her injuries. She see’s Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime there. Ichigo mentions that he wasn’t able to find anyone else from the Xcution  as they may have either died or gone their own way. She turns to her side to find Orihime cheering her along as well as crying as she’ fine and not hurt.

We return to the Soul Society. A report comes to tell Yamamoto that Ichigo is there as he needs to talk to them. All other captains find out about this and gather up in Yamamoto’s chamber. Ichigo walks up to them to find out that Kensei, Hirako and Rojuro are there. The chamber opens.

Ichigo requests Yamamoto that he wants to take Ginjo’s body for a proper burial. Hirako appears to tell him that he shouldn’t such a thing as he had hurt his family and friends. He then asks if he would forgive such a guy. Ichigo replies that it isn’t about if he is forgiven or not. He’s family and friends are fine now and no longer in danger. He then replies that he wants to do this since he is a fellow Substitute Shinigami, and that Ichigo will continue to be a Substitute Shinigami.

Ichigo starts to take the body of Ginjo back to where he should be buried. He says he’s goodbye’s and that he and Rukia will seen each other more often from this point on. Ichigo runs through the port and the light beam goes up. As the episode end, other captains and friends of Ichigo look at the light that shines up.

Ichigo returns to Karakura Town to find he’s friends below him waving at him. His father, Isshin and Urahara as well as Yoruichi are all looking at him. He waves and looks at the sky. The episode ends with how Bleach Episode 1 started.

Ichigo Kurosaki / 17 Years Old
Hair Color / Orange
Eye Color / Brown
Occupation / High School Student & Substitute Shinigami

The episode ends here. This could possibly be the last Bleach Anime Episode! Here and Now! The episode was great and all but it’s possible that the anime version wont be aired anymore. Ichigo has really grown really powerful, and amazing that the story is making other characters involved, which I like. There is one more Arc left “The Thousand-Year Blood War” which isn’t going to be a let down! Anime needs to be back!

Bleach 518 begins to show some fantastic and epic hints in which we’re definitely going to see in the future, and it’s all under Ichigo’s nose! We witness that there is a mysterious man with Urahara who gets angry hearing Ichigo’s voice, looks like Grimmjow to me!? We also witness that Ganju has joined the Fullbringer’s with Ginjo, Tsukishima and Giriko. Ichigo finally arrives at the Palace!

Bleach 518 starts off as Urahara notices that the communication is working, he tells Ichigo that it’s been a long time, and that he knew that Ichigo would be worried. Urahara reveals that he’s reaction is a bit disappointing. Mayuri asks Kon what exactly he’s doing, Kon replies that he has no idea. Mayuri jokes around telling his subordinates to get him.

Urahara tells Ichigo and Mayuri that there is no need to worry because they’re fine, Mayuri asks Urahara how this works, because it’s using Kon’s eyes to communicate. Urahara tells Mayuri that Kon’s eyes are switches, it can act as communicators. Out of nowhere, Orihime appears, she notices Ichigo and says hey, she’s happy that he’s wounded by also safe.

Ichigo’s glad that Orihime’s doing fine, she then gets Chad to come forward. Chad says hello, and he’s glad that Ichigo’s safe. Ichigo tells him that he shouldn’t be worried about him, he was in fact worried about them. Urahara tells Ichigo that he wanted to contact them a little earlier but he was in restrains so he couldn’t get in contact.

Out of nowhere, a man says what are you doing here. Ichigo quickly recognizes that voice, the man also recognizes Ichigo’s voice and quickly gets angry, calling Ichigo a bastard as he approaches the camera. Urahara tells both Orihime and Chad to take this man out of there because Ichigo isn’t there, Ichigo asks Urahara what he’s doing with this man.

Urahara calls out Ichigo’s name, asking if what he had to do was to save Hueco Mundo, then there is no point because everything seems fine. Urahara tells Ichigo to do what is best for himself, he tells him to think on his own and decide what’s best for him. Urahara tells Ichigo not to worry about this person, he was able to make a nice contract with him. Urahara then ends the communication.

Chad asks Urahara if it was okay to say and give Ichigo the opportunity to think for himself,  this could cause him to run away from this fight. Urahara stops Chad there, he tells him that he shouldn’t say things which he isn’t even thinking about. Ichigo will do what he wants from the bottom of his heart. It’s likely that Ichigo will protect everyone till the end.

Both Orihime and Chad have been close to Ichigo for longer than Urahara, for sure they’d have to know what’s better for him, plus the only one who knows Ichigo the best is himself. Ichigo calls the bald guy, Oshe, Ichigo asks if there is a way to get his Tensa Zangetsu fixed in the palace.

He reveals that in the Palace there is a super reijutsu that can reforge the sword into one similar to the original. Ichigo quickly requests for them to quickly take him! They arrive at Kukaku Shiba’s places, it mentions that it’s the palace of her, but it really isn’t. Ichigo quickly gets into Kukaku’s nerves. He asks why they’ve arrived there, she gets annoyed that he didn’t even introduce himself.

She mentions that she’s not going to launch it for them, Oshe tells Ichigo that the Tenchuuren doesn’t have function to go back to Reioukyuu on its own. In the palace there is a super reijutsu that can only be found there, thus there isn’t one in Seireitei. Ichigo asks where Ganju is, she tells him that he became a huge rock and turned into stone, she uses him to hold the banners.

They set it up and quickly launch it. A man appears, it seems like it’s Ganju, he asks if she’s okay with them leaving, she says that it’s fine because during the next attack it will be the end of Soul Society itself. They must let him got, even if it means that uncle is sad. Ganju tells Kukaku to go back to the Training Halls, she must help with the training.

Three other people appear, Kukaku tells Ganju to put some spirit into it, in the next fight he’ll have to fight the Quincy’s even if he cries and wails. Ganju agrees as he walks with three well-known members! It’s Kugo Ginjo, Giriko Kutsuzawa and Shukuro Tsukishima. Ichigo quickly flies when he reaches the beautiful palace with large pillars and numerous floating lands. Bleach 518 ends here!
