The latest episodes of Bleach: Thousand Years of Blood War, an anime produced by Studio Orange that found tremendous success by marking the return of the Kubo universe to the small screen, sheds light on some truths about the Kurosaki family. Let’s analyze Ichigo’s parents to better understand where his abilities come from.
Ichigo grew up being pursued by both parents, although he was left without a mother at a very early age and only his father succeeded him isshin, who has kept many secrets, most notably that he is a shinigami. Thanks to his experience, Isshin was also fundamental during Ichigo’s training to be able to finally defeat Sosuke Aizen, one of the greatest and most powerful antagonists of the series.
Born into the Shiba family, a small noble clan belonging to Soul Society, Isshin was captain of the 10th Division of the Gotei 13. Belonging to the Shiba family explains the parental relationships and both somatic and character similarities between Ichigo, Kaien, Kukaku and Ganju. If instead we analyze the parental relationships of the maternal branch of the protagonist’s family tree, we can understand where the Powers inherent to the Quincy, manifested by Ichigo himselflike the veins of blood.
In an attempt to save Masaki during an attack from a hollow, Captain Shiba gave up his powers to take control of the monster that was poisoning Ichigo’s mother from within. Basically the Presence of a Hollow and Zangetsu in Ichigo it is due to Masaki’s legacy. Finally, we remind you that the anime has also revealed a rather important truth about Zangetsu and we leave you a nice cosplay dedicated to the adult Nel.
