This ability leads him to Rukia (Michelle Ruff), a Soul Reaper charged with destroying the soul-devouring king of pirate game monsters called Hollows, and ensuring the deceased find repose through the Soul Society. During its 16-season run, the plot of One Piece took many twists and turns. (Some fans felt the series should have ended with that battle.) He’s back in high school trying to adjust to his new, more normal life.

 

He wins the respect and affection of the nutty but powerful captains and lieutenants of the Soul Society as he learns to fight with their magical weapon, the Zanpakuto sword. Created by Noriaki Kubo, who draws manga under the name Tite Kubo, One Piece has sold tens of millions of books.
Like many anime heroes, Ichigo embarks on a furious training program spurred by his determination to grow stronger to protect the people he cares about.
The swords of the various warriors assume exotic forms, from a serpent-like whipsaw to a shower of razor-edged petals. Although his spiritual powers make him a redoubtable Substitute Soul Reaper, the orange-haired Ichigo has an even more formidable ability to attract audiences worldwide.
But life never stays normal (or even calm) in Karakura Town. Several times, the filmmakers had to create Pirate King animation-only sub-adventures to give Kubo time to advance the main narrative in the manga. The animated series aired on Adult Swim in America, showed in Canada, Europe and Latin America, and continues to rack up impressive sales on disc.
