Bleach!
Bleach is one of the best shonen animes that have paved the way for the anime entertainment industry, for new anime generation such as, my hero academia, demon slayer, Tokyo revengers, Jujutsu Kaisen, One punch, Black Clover, Dr stone, Boruto, and I’m not gonna leave out Naruto, one piece and so on, I’m too lazy to list the other animes. they deserve their props to.
Bleach created by Tite Kubo, Tite illustrated and scripted bleach himself, the story of Bleach is based on a young teen named Ichigo, that is currently an occupant in high school like any other teen, he is blessed with the ability to see the spirits throughout his whole life, this is revealed in chapter 1 of the manga and season 1 in the anime.
His whole life changes when he meets Rukia who is a soul reaper, that he so accidently discovers. While Rukia is searching for a hollow, which is an evil spirit that preys on humans and souls to consume to gain strength.
Rukia is battling a hollow, but she gets wounded by the hollow, Ichigo wants to help Rukia, so Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some her supernatural abilities, but Ichigo ends up taking all of her supernatural abilities, he defeats the hollow, but because now Ichigo has fully consumed Rukia’s abilities, he is now a full-fledged soul reaper.
With Rukia’s abilities taken she is not able to fulfil her duties as a soul reaper, Ichigo has to take her place and protect the innocent from the hollows.
However, in the end this leads Rukia being in trouble, because as a soul reaper she is breaking the law within the soul society.
I recommend that you watch the anime and read the manga.
Fun fact before I get to the big news, Ichigo’s name in Japanese translates to strawberry, funnily enough in Jujutsu Kaisen the main character, named Yuji Itadori, his hair colour is light pink, because Jujutsu Kaisen is highly inspired by Bleach I think the author Gege Akutami thought it would be cool if in his manga if he could have a character with pink hair that represents Ichigo’s name.
the author of Jujutsu Kaisen is highly inspired by the Bleach series, Gege Akutami the author of Jujutsu Kaisen even revealed this in an interview with the author of the Bleach series Tite Kubo, you can tell just that because Jujutsu Kaisen has similarities, while also being unique and authentic.
So anyway, enough of me yapping!
