Ichigo Kurosaki's Powers, Explained
The following contains spoilers for Bleach's "Thousand-Year Blood War Arc" by Tite Kubo, available now in English via Viz Media.
As is the case with most Shonen anime, protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki ultimately ended up with the greatest abilities in Bleach. Ichigo was way more than he seemed to be at the beginning of the series. However, it was later revealed he was the son of a Soul Reaper captain and a full-blooded Quincy, the latter holding the Hollow known as White within her. This led to their first child Ichigo being a human, a Soul Reaper, a Quincy, and even part Hollow hybrid, making him a truly unique being.
Ichigo's Zanpakuto acted as a representation of his Soul Reaper nature while simultaneously being a base for all of his other powers. Known as Zangetsu, it also represented his ever-growing knowledge of his true nature. Throughout the series, Zangestu kept changing in shape and form.
