Plot

The action takes place in modern Japan. One day, in the bedroom of Ichigo Kurosaki, who since childhood was able to see spirits and ghosts, the girl “guide of souls” (Shinigami) Rukia Kuchiki suddenly appears. She is surprised by the fact that Ichigo can not only see her, but also touch her, but the conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a "hollow", a strong evil spirit. In the battle, Rukia, who was protecting Ichigo, is seriously wounded and realizes that she is unable to fight further. She decides to give Ichigo half of her supernatural powers so that he can stand up for himself, but he suddenly absorbs all of her energy and defeats the Hollow with ease. As a result, Ichigo himself becomes a guide of souls, and Rukia remains practically helpless. Having lost her powers, she cannot perform the work of a guide of souls, that is, fight the Hollows and send the souls of the dead to the afterlife (“Community of Souls”), so she persuades Ichigo to help her.

From left to right: Yasutora Sado, Rukia Kuchiki, soul guides Renji Abarai and Toshiro Hitsugaya, Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida, Orihime Inoue. On foreground- plush lion Con.
They have been working together for several months, but in the world of Rukia, transferring the powers of a soul guide to a person is a serious crime. She is arrested, returned to Soul Society and taken into custody to be executed for breaking the law. Ichigo goes there to save her, followed by friends and classmates: Uryu Ishida, who turned out to be the last representative of the Quincy race, which has long been at odds with the guides of souls; Yasutora Sado, an Okinawan hulk who grew up in Mexico; Ichigo's classmate Orihime Inoue. They are all being prepared for a difficult mission by Kisuke Urahara, the owner of a special store for soul guides.

Having survived many battles, Ichigo and his friends finally save Rukia. They learn that both her execution and the rescue mission were planned from the very beginning by one soul guide named Sosuke Aizen, who had far-reaching plans to take over the Soul Society. Having received the Hogyoku artifact from Rukia's body, giving the owner enormous power, Aizen betrays his fellow soul guides, teams up with the Hollows and creates his own army, becoming the central negative character"Bleach." A war breaks out between Aizen and the Soul Society, the next step in which was supposed to be destruction hometown Ichigo. However, Kisuke Urahara, the warriors of the Soul Society and Ichigo jointly manage to kill most of the Hollows, weaken Aizen and capture him. For his betrayal, Aizen is sentenced to 20 thousand years in prison. Ichigo is in last battle completely loses his powers as a guide of souls, including the ability to see ghosts. According to author Taito Kubo, he has yet to come up with an ending for the manga.

Characters

There are many characters in Bleach who belong to different races, belong to various clans, factions and use a peculiar jargon invented by Taito Kubo. People's souls consist of ectoplasm, which in anime and manga are called spiritual energy particles (Japanese lit. "spirit particles"). When people die, their souls are sent to the Soul Society and can also play an active role in the development of the plot, such as becoming warrior soul guides and protecting earthly world from the invasion of evil spirits - empty. Important characters usually have outstanding abilities, which is explained by the presence large quantity paranormal energy called “reiatsu” (Japanese lit. “spirit pressure”). The world of Bleach is dominated by three major races: humans, soul guides and empty ones.

World

Seireitei- the city of soul guides.

The main characters of anime and manga are human in origin and live in the fictional city of Karakura, in Western Tokyo. Usually people cannot see or feel spirits: only one in fifty thousand can in any way guess the existence of something supernatural nearby, so protection is needed from evil spirits - empty ones. Soul Guides patrol our world, fight Hollows, and accompany the souls of the dead to the Soul Society, performing the soul burial ritual (Japanese konso).

The Community of Souls (Japanese shikonkai) or Soul Society (Japanese sosaechi) is the abode of soul guides and the place where the souls of people (“pluses” or “full”, that is, those who have not become empty) go after death. In the anime, the name is pronounced in English: [soul sosaechi]. The community of souls is an analogue of heaven, where people go who have not committed terrible sins(otherwise hell awaits them). In the center there is a huge city of soul guides, Seireitei (Japanese: “Courtyard of Pure Souls”), fenced with walls and well protected. However, ordinary souls do not live in the city itself, but in the surrounding area, which is called Rukongai (Japanese: “Region of Wandering Spirits”). In turn, Rukongai consists of eighty districts, which are very different from each other. Soul guides do not interfere in the life of Rukongai and do not patrol it, so the first and closest district to Seireitei is quite prosperous, but in remote areas there is a high crime rate and terrible poverty - people literally have to fight for survival. Children are born in the Soul Society, as in the normal world, and the inhabitants are not immortal, although the life span of a soul guide is incomparable to a human one. Wounds received in battle may well be fatal, but soul guides can withstand very difficult battles and recover in circumstances that would otherwise kill a person. A soul that dies in Soul Society loses all its memories, is reborn and returns to Earth as new personality. Soul Society has a king whose functions are unclear.

Empty (or "cons") most time are located in Hueco Mundo (Japanese Hueco Mundo), a desert area between the world of people and the Community of Souls. The name itself comes from Spanish. Mundo Hueco - "empty world" or "world of the empty". Hollows live and rest here when they are not hunting for souls on Earth. The world of Hueco Mundo, where eternal night reigns, is filled with grayish sand that looks like salt crystals.

In the world of Naruto, two years flew by unnoticed. Former newcomers joined the ranks of experienced shinobi at the rank of chunin and jonin. The main characters did not sit still - each became a student of one of the legendary Sannin - the three great ninjas of Konoha. The guy in orange continued his training with the wise but eccentric Jiraiya, gradually ascending to new level combat skill. Sakura became the assistant and confidant of the healer Tsunade, the new leader of the Leaf Village. Well, Sasuke, whose pride led to his expulsion from Konoha, entered into a temporary alliance with the sinister Orochimaru, and each believes that they are only using the other for the time being.

The brief respite ended, and events in Once again rushed with hurricane speed. In Konoha, the seeds of old strife sown by the first Hokage are sprouting again. The mysterious Akatsuki leader has set in motion a plan for world domination. There is turmoil in the Sand Village and neighboring countries, old secrets are resurfacing everywhere, and it is clear that someday the bills will have to be paid. The long-awaited continuation of the manga inspired new life into the series and new hope into the hearts of countless fans!

  • The fact is that as a child, little Ichigo had black hair, like all typical Japanese people. But one day Isshin's dad spilled a can of bleach on his head, and from then on his hair acquired a peculiar bright red color. Issin did this, of course, on purpose to prevent his son from vegetating in a happy, carefree life. However, this was no ordinary bleach, because Icchin purchased it from the store of his longtime friend Urahara Kisuke. And, as has long been the custom, in Urahara’s shop they gave him the wrong bleach...

    Little Ichigo began to see spirits, ghosts and other rubbish, and cultivate reiatsu in himself. Quite upset by this fact, Isshin took the canister with the remaining bleach and poured it on Urahara’s head. Since then, Urahara Kisuke wears a hat everywhere. However, Urahara's inquisitive mind couldn't resist the bleach mystery.

    At that time, Urahara Kisuke was still listed as the captain of the 12th squad and headed the Seireitei research laboratory... So, awakened by the reflection great secret, with the spirit of achievement and the steps of the greatest power, the main research machine of the Society of Souls began to move. The first to test the effect of the mysterious bleach was one of Urahara’s assistants, Mayuri Kurotsushi, who accidentally drank it instead of his morning kefir. After this, Kurotsushi’s assistant turned into a viscous amorphous liquid of a greenish color and remained in this state for two days. Upon returning to his normal form, Kurotsushi's assistant acquired an extremely bad character and a huge grudge against his boss, Urahara Kisuke.

    However, this important experiment showed that bleach must be used with extreme caution. So the next time, Urahara very carefully poured a beaker of bleach on Captain Ukitake's head. After this, Captain Ukitake fell seriously ill and has not fully recovered to this day. However, the hair on his head not only turned white, but also began to grow better.

    Lieutenant Isana Kotetsu, who provided medical assistance to him, required medical assistance herself; she fainted when she saw her reflection in the mirror. But before, her hair was the same color as her sister’s!

    Meanwhile, Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto sensed something was wrong as soon as he saw Captain Urahara’s dark hat. He immediately announced a general meeting of captains and publicly removed Urahara from his position for improper dress code. In response, Urahara poured a bucket of bleach on his head, which he had prudently taken with him. At the same time, the spray hit several captains standing nearby. For example, captain Ichimaru Gin has been smiling all the time since then, and two weaker captains died on the spot. Thus ended Urahara Kisuke's career in the Gotei 13 ingloriously. Now he is the most ordinary trader.

    But that is not all. The discovered remains of bleach in the amount of 6 thousand tons were poured into the Seireitei sewer, from where they leaked into one of the Rukongai rivers, in which local residents washed their underwear. Nine months later, one of them gave birth to an unusual gray-haired baby with piercing emerald color eyes. This was the future captain of the 10th squad Toshiro Hitsugaya

    Fans of the famous ongoing series “Bleach” suffered severe disappointment in the recent past - in 2012, the release of this anime ceased. The 366-episode epic ended, and since then we can only hope for a continuation. However, manga (Japanese comics) are still being published, so connoisseurs of the original source were not only not upset, but were even happy. In their opinion, the animators ruined the idea and treated the anime without due reverence. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that this format has its advantages: expressive voices of seiyuu (actors voicing an animated film), wonderful voice-over music, the opportunity to see your favorite characters not only in color, but also in movement. All this is the Bleach anime, the continuation of which is eagerly awaited by fans. However, every year the hope gradually fades.

    Is Bleach the end of the story?

    The last arc of the anime ongoing seemed at first to be an outright failure. Even the most loyal fans looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched the confrontation between the main character and the Fullbringers. However, even here the film managed to stay on the crest of success. This happened mainly due to traditional methods mangaka (comic artist). The secret lay in the element of surprise, in other words, in the sudden firing of a gun, which everyone had forgotten about. However, by the middle of the arc, rumors began to spread about the closure of the Bleach anime. A continuation was promised in the near future, Kubo (the mangaka) personally said this in an interview.

    In addition to 366 anime episodes, the stories about Shinigami (death deities) include four full-length animated films, five musicals, several computer games And great amount interesting ideas. In addition, for several years there has been discussion of the news that the film company Warner Bros. Entertainment intends to bring to the screens famous story, despite a series of obvious failures with film adaptations of other anime.

    Closing version of the anime "Bleach"

    The main question from fans is: “Why did they stop producing the anime?” Various versions have been put forward. Since, in terms of plot, the anime has practically caught up with the comics, one of the creators allegedly promised that after a certain number of volumes of the manga appear, new episodes will be filmed animated film. This version, at first glance, does not stand up to criticism, because anime has kept pace with comics before. Then the animators filmed numerous fillers, which irritated fans of the original source. But not all of them were unsuccessful, according to a vote conducted in the Bleach fandom on the popular Dairy resource.

    The best filler arc was the story of the wild zanpakuto (soul guides), when all the shinigami swords went out of control and received a physical anthropomorphic form. Kubo Taito, the author of the manga, worked on the sketches of the psychopomp characters, so this arc cannot be called the arbitrariness of the animators who filmed Bleach. However, the sequel has not yet appeared.

    Rumors and denials

    It’s quite difficult to get rid of the habit of waiting for a sequel: fans have managed to get used to the fact that it comes out every week New episode anime. As soon as they announced the removal of the anime series “Bleach” from the air, they began to wait for a continuation immediately. According to rumors, the break was not supposed to last more than two months. Further, the wait lasted for six months. From time to time, information leaked in interviews that the premiere of episode 367 was about to take place. But the information was refuted every now and then. One thing is certain: the anime was stopped being produced due to a significant decline in the film’s position in the Jump magazine ratings. This is the most authoritative Japanese publication dedicated to manga and anime. At the same time, all positions weakened: anime broadcast ratings, sales of current manga volumes, DVD sales. “Toriko” was ahead, joining the leaders “Naruto” and “One Piece”.

    Will there be a sequel to Bleach?

    On this moment, four years have passed since the anime stopped airing, so there is less and less hope for a continuation. And this despite the fact that the Sternritter (star knights) arc gave the production Japanese comics additional acceleration, improving sales. The plot finally began to resolve all the controversial issues that had haunted readers since the first arc: intricate family ties were clarified, secret plans, the characters received new development. As soon as the ratings perked up, conversations immediately resumed that it was time to remember about fans of the anime “Bleach.” The sequel, the release date of which is constantly being pushed into the foreseeable future, is still in doubt.

    Japanese traditions: why do we need a continuation?

    "Bleach" is far from the first anime to end, if not in fact interesting place, then definitely at the height of the narrative. Perhaps this is an established tradition in the Japanese anime industry. Will a Bleach sequel be made at least in the next few years? Many believe that if the creators do not revive the anime before the end of the manga, it will lead to an undeniable ending. Already completed projects rarely appear on screen.

    At the same time, the story is not finished yet, the manga is regularly published, so if anyone is interested in the exciting adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki, there is something to satisfy their curiosity. The only regrets that remain, perhaps, are the voices of the voice actors, the combination of action and music, and the spectacular visual image, because not everyone is able to perceive the dynamics of events in black and white comic book drawings.
