When the Senkaimon opens, Ichigo tells Kon to take care of his family. Orihime steps in front of Ichigo, erecting a barrier. Later that night, Ichigo, sensing Renji and Rukia's distress, rushes to help them, arriving with Suì-Fēng and other Shinigami to combat the numerous Zanpakutō spirits who have surrounded the pair. [29] During one of these fights, he received help from Yasutora Sado. [115], Yoruichi brings Orihime to see Urahara when she leaves the barrier. [342] Later, Ichigo encounters Renji and Zabimaru. With some more of Hikifune's infused food, heads off to join the battle. After the Tres Bestias are defeated,[443][444] Ichigo fights Quilge Opie as Orihime tends to the wounded. Proclaiming that he cannot simply sit by even if he is replaceable, Ichigo blasts Yhwach with a Getsuga Tenshō and tells Yhwach it does not matter if Yhwach's blood runs in his veins because he will not do Yhwach's bidding. Ichigo fights one of them, who gains the advantage by using his Bakkōtō's mirror to blind Ichigo, but the assassins are stopped. Ichigo returns the stranger's bag to him. Once Orihime heals the three of them, they run off.[283]. [290] Ichigo and Yhwach's ensuing clash destroys the entire upper level of the palace, and Orihime looks out at the destroyed palace as Ichigo and Yhwach continue fighting. Orihime is held hostage by Nnoitra Gilga. [687], After Ichigo's Fullbring is completed, it transforms into a solid outfit. [314] Telling Ichigo if he uses Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō, he will lose his Shinigami powers, he bids him farewell. Seeing through Muramasa's power, Ichigo, saving his inner Hollow, forces Muramasa out of his body. As Ichigo, thinking he is going to die, runs away, Urahara continues to attack him. Closing and locking the door, he demands to know how he found out about his house. Helping her up, Ichigo asks once more to go to Soul Society, thinking it best to take the fight to them before his powers fade altogether. [163] Upon exiting the sewers, Ichigo is confronted by Renji, who gravely injures Ichigo in their ensuing battle. Moe moves in for the kill, but flings himself away when he sees how beautiful she is. [263], Using their time to train, while taking a break Orihime comments on how peaceful it is. Following Rukia back to Soul Society, Ichigo, briefly fighting Sode no Shirayuki, is interrupted by Muramasa, who tells Ichigo his goal is to "free" all Zanpakutō from the control of Shinigami. When he starts smoking a cigarette, Ichigo says he thought he quit smoking when Karin and Yuzu were born. Amagai teleports away with Rurichiyo, leaving the dying Kumoi to reveal Amagai is behind the conspiracy. When Orihime asks what happened between Ichigo and Uryū, Ichigo dismisses it as no big deal. Orihime then understands why she couldn't sense a shockwave of Reishi, since Quincy don't emit Reishi, but absorb it. Rukia and Renji come to the Kurosaki Clinic and Ichigo greets them at the door, inviting them inside. Riruka asks if he supports her, but she tells him that he died and that a distant relative supports her financially. Orihime appears in the classroom, showing the odd drawing she did for her homework to the others. [513], However, Yhwach immediately breaks off part of Tensa Zangetsu's blade and his horn, seemingly without moving. Still intent on eating Orihime, the Hollow attacks. [356] Ichigo catches up to an exhausted Nozomi, who has seemingly defeated Reigai-Kenpachi. After a burst of heat, Ichigo stands with his new Zanpakutō, which is now comprised of two distinct blades, and acknowledges both his Quincy powers and the real Zangetsu as being his Zanpakutō.[472]. Most of those present are shocked, Luppi in particular. [65] Following his battle, Ichigo hurts himself by colliding heads with Orihime and is reassured that she was not injured at all during the mission. When Inaba goes to strike Orihime, she is saved Ichigo. Ichigo unleashes a Getsuga Tenshō-like attack to defeat Mr. Pork. As Ichigo attempts to end the fight, Byakuya severs his sword's tip, leaving Ichigo stunned. [589] Tenjirō Kirinji, a member of the Royal Guard, was amazed at Ichigo's ability to endure the unique healing properties of his White Skeleton Pond and Blood Hell Pond for so long after fully healing without rotting. Fleeing his house, Ichigo, wondering whether what is going on is Tsukishima's ability, runs into Ikumi, who takes him to her store to let him calm down and talk about it. When Ichigo asks if they are drunk, Isshin reveals a juice seller used wine to dilute their juice instead of water. Sado notes that everything around them composed of Reishi, including the rocks, sand, trees, and buildings, are being absorbed by Quilge's technique. [153], After completing Urahara's training, Ichigo has a relatively normal summer holiday while waiting for the gate to Soul Society to be opened. During his intense fight against Kenpachi Zaraki, he clearly sensed and recognized Sado's energy signature even as it weakened, despite the considerable distance between them. Seen as worthless, the Arrancar goes to attack Orihime as well only to be stopped by her Santen Kesshun ability, surprising them both as she begins to heal Chad's injuries. Since she has not asked him about it, Ichigo figures she is dealing with it well. As he leaves, Ichigo says goodbye to his sisters. After asking Shrieker if he was the one who killed the child's parents, which he confirms, Ichigo, catching one of the leeches, slams it into Shrieker's mouth. She tells Orihime that there must be something wrong with her to be able to talk so nonchalantly about it. She is also horrified to learn that the creation of the Ōken requires over a hundred thousand Human souls. [237][238] Dordoni tries to convince Ichigo to use his Hollow mask, which he ultimately does, defeating Dordoni in an instant upon doing so. Later, when he overhears Keigo telling Mizuiro he saw Uryū talking to himself the previous day, believing it to be related to a theater, Ichigo is thankful Keigo is an idiot. Interrupting them, Urahara invites the group inside.[156]. As the trio run to their destination, Orihime's relief at hearing that Uryū has not betrayed them manifests itself in tears. They all wait for Rukia to recover at Byakuya's luxurious home. [22][23][24], As a teenager, Ichigo is stubborn, short-tempered, strong-willed, and impulsive. [51] When the group uses the cannonball to enter Seireitei, she is blown away with Uryū when the ball disintegrates. He gives her twelve hours to get her effects in order and allows her to say goodbye to just one person during that time, provided that individual does not discover her presence as she is doing so. Grabbing her shoulder, seeming distracted, Orihime, noticing Sado and Ichigo, asks why they are there. Riruka asks about Tsukishima, but Orihime says she doesn't know who that is - an unwitting confirmation that Tsukishima was killed. When Rukia confirms it is just a lonely Plus, which they should send to the Soul Society that night, Ichigo complains about missing another night of sleep. Ichigo, his friends, and the Shinigami all direct their attacks on her, allowing her to absorb the power and release a powerful blast which defeats most of the Reigai, with Yamamoto finishing off the sole survivor. This resulted in him appearing to other people to be looking at deserted places and talking to himself. Taking his badge, Ichigo, trying out his new Fullbring, leaves Yukio's Fullbring, thanking him. Both she and Nel watch over him in a relieved fashion, surprising him when he regains consciousness. Orihime is worried when Nel becomes a child again. As they leave, Ichigo asks Sado about Orihime. She cries in relief upon seeing that Ichigo is fine, commenting that due to Ichigo's changed appearance she thought she was seeing things. He reaches out for her, and she does the same, telling him that she wasn't scared just as he fades away. Entering the gate, Ichigo, Uryū, Orihime, Sado, and Yoruichi appear in the Dangai. [494], Later, Yoruichi wakes Ichigo up. [245] When Ichigo kicks him off his bed, Orihime quickly opens the window, allowing Ebern to fall through it. She notices that everyone seems gloomy, including Tatsuki and decides she needs to spend some time with her. Upon reaching the palace, Ichigo watches as the Garganta opens to reveal that the palace has been reshaped into the Wandenreich city by Yhwach. While she does eat some normal food, Orihime cooks and eats unusual meals, which other people often find unappetizing. Ichigo and Rukia are alerted to an abnormal amount of Hollow sightings. Startled, she starts to blame herself because she knows this has happened because of what she said to him unconscious. [12] She is a member of the Handicrafts Club[13] and likes to invent very ridiculous sports to play with Tatsuki(such as "base-cer," a combination of baseball and soccer). Orihime wolfs down the whole thing, leading to Riruka criticizing her and wondering how her parents cope with her. Both she and Ichigo are informed of Nel’s true identity as an ex-Espada. Before they finish, another gangster, Yokochini, appearing, asks Ichigo if he still remembers him. He uses his doll, Ritz, to take over Rukia and force the two of them to battle one another. [97] Using most of her strength to heal his stomach wound, Rukia leaves his other injuries. [231][232][233] Seeing Nel Tu being chased by three Hollows, they, intervening, are surprised to learn the child is an Arrancar, and her pursuers are her two "brothers" and their pet playing a game. [165] She stays behind along with Uryū and Chad as Ichigo and Rukia rush to Soul Society when Rurichiyo attends her friend's tea party. Slashing Ichigo's eyes, Kūgo notes when Ichigo lost his powers, he also lost his resolve. His spirit rekindled by this revelation, Ichigo, subduing his inner Hollow, regains consciousness. Through a message relayed via Kidō by Isane Kotetsu, Ichigo finds out the events in Soul Society were an elaborate plot masterminded by Sōsuke Aizen. [169][170] After escaping, Yoruichi, taking Ichigo to a hidden area, tells Ichigo he cannot save Rukia with his present power, asking him to undergo Bankai Training. As Ichigo's friends all do the pose, Ichigo tells Keigo he is not going to the live recording of Ghost Bust at the abandoned hospital in Karakura, despite his attempts to convince him to go. [130], That night, Ichigo, taking the leftovers from dinner to give to Rukia, finds she is gone. [81] Asking him how it feels to be unable to move or fight and if he can savor what it is like to be murdered, Ichigo cuts through his head, and Shrieker is pulled into Hell. Ichigo stops Di Roy Rinker from killing Sado. Asking Rukia if her powers are returning, Ichigo asks her to allow him to remain a Shinigami for a while longer regardless. Kūgo says he will spare his life, and he should thank him.[419]. [582] When fighting Quilge Opie, Ichigo grabbed one of his Heilig Pfeil with his bare hand without sustaining any damage, despite the considerable explosion it caused when Ichigo threw it back.
