This is wrong, that s not how soul eapers get their Zanpakutos. First, they get an asauchi, and then they imprint their spiritual energy n it to form their zanpakuto.

Está buena la historia, pero se hace demasiado tediosa. Avanza demasiado lento y el hecho de que frenes a Ichigo de forma tan innecesaria lo hace peor. Buena escritura, malas decisiones.

Damn, man, finished this in 3 days, probably my favorite Bleach fanfiction, pretty sad you stopped updating it a while ago, hope everythings fine, fam. If by any chance you are continuing this story on any other platform, please, let me know. Bye!

One of the best Ichiruki fanfics on the site that is not a AU (well, at least less AU-ish than others). I still come back to read it every once in a while. I'm pretty sure this story is abandoned at this point however I still gave it a follow because well you never know. I have personally seen fanfics come back from 10 year hiatuses. :P

This story was a very late discovery for me, i regret that, but even though I knew that this is likely abandoned and incomplete, i could not help myself but get sucked into the AU u created, this is my second favourite ichiruki story (after another story Between me and thee, u can check that out), and second bcuz this stopped on sort of a cliffhanger, and i know had u continued v would have gotten lot more interesting SS arc of breaking out ichigo, with hirako's addition I am so curious, and I can only wail about the missed opportunity to read it. But kudos to all the efforts and time you have invested in this story and just like bleach anime, i dunno if we can expect a come back from u after a decade.
Loved ichiruki relationship, especially the interactions of byakuya and ichigo, loved how u made ichigo the captain of 10th eventually. Great that I didn't had to read orihime romance or hitsugaya momo romance in this, I think only rukia or karin deserves toushiro, but ya primarily I am a huge ichiruki fanfiction.
There are lots of mysteries to be yet revealed like how karin and yuzu returned as teenagers although I can take a guess, still would have loved to read the explanations for all, and last but not least the revelation of the perpetrators would have been mind-blowing. But more than anything what I looked foreword to most was for byakuya to reveal how he pulled one over ichiruki with hiding the fact that ichigo is a noble. I remember byakuya's pov regarding the same . I have so much to ramble, but hopefully another time where I am more assured that u are gonna read this. Untill then all the best

Sorry bye. If Ichigo's not useful in this scene then I doubt he will ever be. :)

I'll stop reading if Kaien still dies. I love him sm huhuhu. I'm actually with Isshin with his kind of thinking. Hollows doesn't deserve to be hated or something along the lines since most(except arrancars) of them are just creatures of instict. Isshin never hated the hollow that killed Masaki and I think it's such a noble and strong resolution to do that. If I were him I would be filled with promise of vengeance and hate.

Bruhhhh Asauchi left the building.

Uhm I hope he will still have Getsuga since it's known that Shibas have them. Adds excitement to the plot

I love this story I hope one day you come back and finish it.

This aint even a cliffhanger, at this point we're just thrown off the cliff cuz it's been 7 years xD. On that note. In a way it's awesome because Rukia was the original main character of bleach before Tite changed it to Ichigo. Now she can get that ye old Bankai far sooner. Not going to lie I think it's bull that people take it as gospel that Toshiro has the "strongest" ice type period. Like by the end of the series it was throughly proven that he has the largest area of effect for an ice type but that Rukia most definitely out matches him in a more concentrated area since her Bankais Ice is significantly colder than his. There's also a massive difference between the two of them in general. They are actually similar in age for a soul with both being 100-150 years old. She also joined the Academy before her power grew to the point his did where it threatened those around her since he waited an extra 20 some years. As a person she also stumbled at the entrence exam putting her in a separate lower class from Renji despite overall being better than him at the time in terms of intelligence, control and power. The fact she was immediately pulled from the academy compounded her failure there and she ended up effectively becoming a broken blade in terms of her confidence and will. Then to make matters worse, Kaien was almost there with helping her pull herself back together only for him to fall on her blade personally and that became a wrap as she effectively cut off her own potential spending the next 40 years going through the motions as a shattered blade. Ichigo fixed that and in the span of a couple months she managed to pull herself up to the level she could defeat an Espada. The weakest but still an achievement. Then not even two years later achieved Bankai and grew at a tremendous pace when receiving training before the war with the quincys started fully. Her release being so powerful and difficult to control properly that she had even less time than Toshiro. Except hers would kill her instead of just dropping due to the sheer cold effecting even her.

All this to say I honestly like this more confident and more powerful Rukia. As for people complaining about Ichigo being a bit OOC I think they are forgetting this Ichigo is a SOUL which slowed his growth. But he's also been tempered with ver a hundred years worth of experiences in a way canon Ichigo never was. He sees bigger pictures and his offer to sacrifice himself for the most important person to him is something I could see him doing. And while yes he could easily defeat Renji and Izuru in a snap. Byakuya and Gin are completely different matter seeing as how he's never seen the full bredth of their abilities and power. Add in him fighting for well over an hour and killing gillians at the end of that and he's nowhere near his peak and Rukia was exhausted as well.

Honestly I do hope that you come back to this and maybe even finish it. I also definitely hope you're doing okay. since it's been so long and what with covid the past couple years.

It really comes down to a number of things that can be used. In Ichigo's first fight he was basically slowing down the entire time though it was much more gradual at the start. This could have been a continuous issue in the background since he was still technically new to it. We can assume that he had a bad habit of relying on the speed of Bankai as well and not using it conjunction with shunpo. Or even that his Shunpo was rough and unpolished meaning he couldn't get the full extent of the speed it gave him out there. There's also how several of the people he fought especially grimmjaw specialized in speed and that Sonido is actually surperior to shunpo for straight lines. So a lot of the arrancar were acceptably used to higher speed shunpo. Yoruichi also showed that she was an absolute monster at speed and Soi-Fon wasn't far behind in that category.

There's also my personal fav, Ichigo doesn't admit it but he enjoys fighting too. So instead of just relying fully on blistering speed to win more handily. He put more emphasis on overpowering them but unlike Kenpachi's release. Ichigo's tilted more towards speed as a powertype zanpakuto.

ukitake being a bit hypocritical there. The fight for life and the fight for being being the reasons to fight. Pretty sure jumping in to help Kaien would fall under the fighting for life category. For Ichigo it'd be for both his pride and life since he takes pride in being able to protect those he cares about...
