What is Bleach?

Bleach is a series created by an artist from Japan, Tite Kubo. As usual, if it from Japanese, so they will produce it into both manga and anime. What is anime? What is manga? As an easy explanation, manga is the version of ilustrated one a.k.a comics and anime is what they transfered so the ilustration can move a.k.a animated series.

The Bleach is based on a story of a high school student name Kurosaki Ichigo, which has a yellow hair and always assumed as a rascal by most og his teacher due to his hair color. However, one day something big happen to him. He has an ability to become a shinigami which is a person with a special power to send the dead peoples' spirit to a place called Soul Society. Every shinigami has their own sword known as zanpakutao. They use their weapon to send the trapped soul to the Soul Society as well slicing hollows. What is hollow? Hollow is the trapped soul which has transformed into an evil spirit. They live by eating other souls.

As the story developed, so the characters in this series. Some of the characters are:

• Kurosaki Ichigo
• Kuchiki Rukia
• Orihime Inoue
• Yasutoru Sado
• Uryuu Ishida
• Abarai Renji
• Grimmjow
• Captain Hitsugaya
• Kon
• Kuchiki Byakuya

and many more.....


What is the coolest thing about this series?

To me.....Is the BANKAI!!!

What is Bankai?

As for its use in the animé, well, each zanpakutou has three stages of release. The first, 'sealed' form is, with a few exceptions, just a simple katana, and has no special abilities. The shikai is the release that most decent-ranking Shinigami can achieve, but is only a partial release, and can be achieved simply by learning the zannpakutou's name. It usually has the form of a new type of weapon and special abilities associated with it. The bankai, which multiplies the shikai's strength by five to ten times, is achieved by gaining a true bond with your zanpakutou's spirit, and calling it into the physical world. It is the mark of a captain-level shinigami to have managed to achieve this, and even then, achieving it usually takes ten years' training, and a further ten years are needed to master using it. The first ten years' training can be bypassed by the dangerous method of using a special doll, created by Urahara, to call the zanpakutou's spirit into the physical world, but circumventing the natural development of bankai like this is neither a widely-known technique nor exactly safe. Once achieved, bankai is released by speaking the word 'bankai', and generally takes on an extremely large, extremely powerful form that is often some kind of extension of the shikai's abilities. The exception is Ichigo's bankai, Tensa Zangetsu, which rather than becoming huge, condenses all its power into an ordinary blade and grants Ichigo himself phenomenal speed, as well as an attacking power not to be taken lightly.

Those are some definition i quoted from here

Normally, this Bankai is sort of special ability own by certain powerful shinigami. Most of the captain and vice captain of the shinigami squad has to acquired their own Bankai in order to be promoted.

The Bankai I love to see most?
Of cause the Ichigo's Bankai. xD
