Then Ichigo finds his true power and fights to reach his goal: Dec 06, Harman Kaur rated it it was amazing. I loved this manga so much! It feels like it has lost its power though, like it was all about fighting and stuff and saving Rukia and I was expecting Rukia to have a bit of romance with Ichigo but The things are way too normal! I really hope that Rukia gets back soon!!! I read the actual manga only because of her!!! Oct 30, Lord rated it liked it Shelves: I don't like the post-Soul Society development.
I mean, Ishida's father being a quincy and Ichigo's father being a soul reaper? I'm not sure where this manga is heading but I won't probably buy next volume for a while.

The "foreshadowing" that led to this plot thread is weak at best. May 31, Daniel rated it it was ok. One of the weaker, books. Dec 14, Kassilem rated it it was amazing Shelves: In the anime version, there was a whole different story arc placed between volume 20 and volume 21; the Bount saga.
I'm glad it's not in the manga. Solely because it means we're already into the story arc that I'm so excited for. There was a terrifying twist in volume 19 that is killing for an explanation. Now, a new character appears and wants to recruit Ichigo. A character with both a Soul Reaper sword and a Hollow mask. The puzzlement deepens, and you can just tell this new evil that Ichigo h In the anime version, there was a whole different story arc placed between volume 20 and volume 21; the Bount saga.
The puzzlement deepens, and you can just tell this new evil that Ichigo has to face is going to be even worse than the past ones. Inner demons always are the worst. And the most exciting. The volume raises many questions and "omg what!? The next arc is sure to be even more intense. Al menos termina este arco "argumental" entrecomillado ya que decir que tiene argumento es decir mucho. Feb 25, Chris Carrescia rated it it was amazing. I like volume twenty one because we learn that Ichigo's dad was a soul reaper captain.
But this is the first time in fourteen volumes that they are back in the world of the living, when a new student appears in Ichigo;s class and tries to recruit him to become a Visored, former soul reapers who have the ability to become hollows.

Having finished the save Rukia arc that had stretched for multiple volumes, this story deals with the aftermath, and takes Ichigo and Co. It ends with two nice surprises, one a major twist for a character readers have already met. Tapi langsung dipatahkan oleh masuknya karakter baru yaitu Hirako. Arc Vizard Arrancar dimulai!

Orihime finally gets something to do, and she can be of help to her fellow friends. Rukia is told by her brother Byakuya that his wife, Hisana who died in their 5th year together was actually Rukia's older sister who abandoned her in the Rukongai district.

BE MY FAMILY OR NOT is the twenty-first volume of the Bleach manga series. Contents[show] Publisher's summary Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends return to the .
As to keep it a secret that Hisana was Rukia's siste This volume starts with the 'clean up' procedure after Aizen's escape, if you even want to call it that. As to keep it a secret that Hisana was Rukia's sister, he claimed he was welcoming her into the Kuchiki family because they looked the same. I was wondering for a while why Byakuya wanted to have Rukia in the family, both his excuse and the real reason I'm glad the topic was gone over. Don't worry Isane, we all have nightmares about fish sausage. XD Although Captain Unohana is very kind and has a pretty smile, the amount of shading in her face changes how intimidating she is.
It seems kind of strange that after all the fighting and battles, now that the Ryoka have 'saved the Seireitei' everyone seems to be buddies. It's not like they actually saved it. Aizen still escaped with the thing he wanted, and is probably planning world domination. Ichigo is sparring with Ikkaku to decide who is better at Japanese, Captain Zaraki is happy when Ichigo is healed so that he can beat him to a pulp , and all the other people everyone fought is all friendly, or at least back to how they behaved before the Ryoka intruded.
Even with Byakuya, the summit battle, he didn't care what Ichigo did except for calling him by his first name. Even though that's what I'm doing now That might be the most emotion I've seen on his face. The Captains and assistant captains weren't even really planning a defense for Aizen, they were all drinking! I thought Kukaku said something like "Just make it back alive," and here she is scolding and punishing Ganju for coming back from not doing much in the battles. How did they even know it was Rukia in the first place?
It's not like they were there, or else they would have understood that his death needed to occur. Now Ichigo's gonna halfta get a Soul pager or something I love how Ichigo's face was so completely horrified when they all came back to the World of the Living and they all are just hovering in midair for affect, and Ichigo's just kind of like: I would have been pretty much pissed off at Kisuke for deceiving me and using us as his dirty work.
Isn't that why Rukia was thrown in jail? So why do they have passes for it? So why would his father be immediately waking him up? And if he's been 'back' but with Kon's personality, and then all of a sudden Ichigo was back to normal, wouldn't you be like: It's probably because he's possessed by Kon right now in the side comics, but still Keigo seems very upset as usually Eh those youngsters can't detect that well anyway I guess.
For some reason I want something big to happen with Tatsuke, like her finding out about everyone's powers. Since she can already see the things normal people don't, I'm just waiting for something else to happen. Just like her seeing Ichigo's talisman. And she didn't even react. XD I kept turning the whole volume upside down in order to see Shinji Hirako.
Gosh, walking upside down? That's creepy enough, but his smile makes him even creepier.
I wouldn't be surprised if he were Gin's brother. They have enough resemblance They should have called that Zennosuke Kurumadani back to the Soul Society. He's kind of a wimp.
And no one knows what a deputy badge is so it doesn't really help. Why does everyone seem to be walking around late at night? I know why Kon is, cuz he's a creep but running into the Grand Fisher was obviously not his plan. Since he's not Ichigo he can't fight. How did Shinji cross over to the Realm of the Hollows? Ichigo didn't do it on purpose, but yet everyone else is? What is up with everyone's dads? I think seeing Grand Fisher's face is weirder than not seeing it. And where the heck are all these Arrancars coming from? Can't wait to see more Hollow action!

But when a hollow appears, Ichigo defeats the monster with the modsoul's help. The soul is then captured by Kisuke Urahara , the shopkeeper who accidentally sold the candy to Rukia.

Urahara explains to Orihime and Chad that their contact with Ichigo allowed them to manifest their own powers. But then a giant Hollow known as a Menos Grande appears that Ichigo manages to defeat.
However, Rukia is confronted by two Soul Reapers sent to arrest her for giving her powers to a human: I will beat you. But Ichigo makes a comeback against Renji, overwhelming him and almost defeating him. But Byakuya steps in and defeats Ichigo at an overwhelming pace.

In the second phase of his training, Ichigo finds the chain linking his soul to his body severed by Urahara's assistant Tessai Tsukabishi before the youth placed in a pit where he either regains his Soul Reaper or becomes a hollow.
