Hitsugaya Toshiro

Hitsugaya Toshiro

Bleach origins

The story opens with the sudden appearance of Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom. She is surprised at his ability to see her, but their conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a "hollow", an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded while trying to protect Ichigo, she attempts to transfer half her powers to Ichigo in order to let him face the hollow on equal footing. Ichigo instead unintentionally absorbs almost all her energy, allowing him to defeat the hollow with ease. The next day Rukia appears in Ichigo's classroom as a seemingly normal human, and informs Ichigo that his absorption of her powers has left her stranded in the human world until she recovers her strength. In the meantime Ichigo shelters Rukia in his home and takes over her job as a Soul Reaper, battling hollows and guiding lost souls to the afterlife realm known as Soul Society.

After a few months of this arrangement, in the sixth volume of the series, Rukia's Soul Reaper superiors find out about her giving her powers away (which is illegal in Soul Society) and send a detachment to arrest her, and sentence her to death. Ichigo is unable to stop Rukia's capture, but with the help of several of his classmates who also possess spiritual abilities and ex-Soul Reaper and captain Kisuke Urahara, he sets off for the Soul Reaper base, located in Soul Society. Once there, Ichigo and company battle against the elites of the Soul Reaper military, and are ultimately successful in halting Rukia's execution.

It is then revealed that Rukia's execution and Ichigo's rescue attempt were both manipulated by Sōsuke Aizen, a high ranking Soul Reaper previously believed to be murdered, as part of a far-reaching plot to take control of Soul Society. Aizen betrays his fellow Soul Reapers and allies himself with the hollows, becoming the main antagonist of the series, and Ichigo teams up with his former enemies in Soul Society after learning that the next step in Aizen's plan involves the destruction of his hometown.

12th division vice captain


Kurotsuchi Nemu

-"Daughter" of Kurotsuchi Mayuri; she was created by him
-Obeys whatever commands Mayuri gives her; if she fails she receives harsh punishments from him

12th division captain


Kurotsuchi Mayuri

-2nd President of the Research Institute of Technology
-"Father" of Kurotsuchi Nemu, or rather, the one who created her
-Zanpakutou's name is Ashisogizisou (or Ashisogi Jizou) and it creates a poison that severs the neural connections that control the victims ability to move his arms and legs without affecting pain responses
-Has performed many experiments and studies (almost all assuredly unpleasant) on Quincies; the last Quincy he experiemented on was Ishida's grandfather
-Is cruel and heartless; thinks nothing of using his own subordinates as bombs or beating up Nemu when she is injured
-Has strange extentions/adaptions to his body; such as being able to extend his arm to a great length or pulling a blade out of his ear to use as a weapon
-Ban-kai is "Golden Ashisogizisou," it looks like a huge catepillar with a baby's head; it turns his blood into a deadly poisonous fog that spreads for 200 yards; he is not affected by it
-Ashisogizisou also has the ability to turn whatever it cuts into liquid; Mayuri uses this technique to run from his battle with Ishida
