Are You Watching Bleach?

By Chris Heltin

Bleach is a popular cartoon with teenagers in the US and Asia. Ichigo Kurusaki is the main character of the show, a teenager who goes to school and has many friends. He lives quite the regular live untill certain events happen that will alter his life.

Ichigo has no mother, she died when he was very young. His mother plays a integral part of one of the episodes. He lives with his two sisters and his father.

Ichigo has a special gift; his spirit energy is so high that he can see dead spirits walking around. One day he is visited by a soul reaper from the soul society who came to finish of Hollows.

Hollows are dead spirits who still roam around on earth and have not gone to Hueco Mundo. This is the place where souls go after a human's demise.

The job of the soul reapers is to send these Hollows to Hueco Mundo, the different dimension. Soul reapers come from the soul society.

Soul Society is where all the different soul reapers live. They train and follow orders from generals and lieutenants. They try to keep the balance of life on earth and are not known by the people of earth.

Soul reapers use weapons that have hidden powers called bankai. These powers are unique to the weapons they wield. These powers are interesting and some reapers have better powers then others. But in the end it comes to how skilled the wielder of the weapon is.

How does all this tie into with Ichigo? During a tragic situation, Kurusaki gains soul reaper powers and starts battling Hollows. He also battles other soul reapers to save his friend. It would be too much to battle Hollows, soul reapers, go to school, and keep the grades up.

Ichigo has his friends who he knows from school who help him with these battles.

Rukia Kuchiki is a good friend of the main character. She is a soul reaper who lended Ichigo her powers. Chad is another good friend of Ichigo. He is tall guy who is very powerful. Orihime and Ishida are two other good friends of Ichigo.

Bleach is a cartoon that you should be watching now. - 31981
