it's cacao society day

You know, it's strange. I think...I'm gonna miss you.

Fem Ichi’s hair is fun to draw aaa

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

HE'S BAAACK

I needed to get the energy out of my system, now time to rant

His entrance is so cool and honestly I can't remember this scene in the anime, nor their being any mention of asauchi before tybw but apparently there was so that's cool

Also is this like a reference to 'The Blade is Me' chapter/volume whatever???

Also the fact that Shiro went from calling Ichigo partner to king... I'm crying

Anyways, Shiro really taught Ichigo all this shit and Ichigo never realized that Shiro was teaching him

damn that hits right in the feels "If you opened your heart to him a little... he'd become even stronger" 'cause later on Ichigo starts hating Shiro and closes his heart to him, resulting in the whole Visored mess

Anyways this whole thing hits different when you know the truth :(

Chp. 111

Completely remaking my old Zanpakuto+ Shinigami series cause they're bland to me now so of course I had to start with Ichigo and Zangetsu

How about a fic where Ichigo strikes a deal where the Three of them rotate who controls Ichigo’s body on the daily, who stays behind in the body, who goes fighting Hollows in the area, etc.

I think it’d be funny if on some days they see the Hollow (Shiro) or a fuckin’ 40-year-old chainsmoker-sound Bitch or a teen a little too into emo goth running’ around? Shiro’s using his Hollow thing, Ossan/Tensa’s doing Quincy shit, and Ichigo’s a basic bitch as a Shinigami

Kurosaki Ichigo, in an attempt to fill up the loneliness that comes with losing two-thirds of his soul, and being seemingly abandoned by everyone around him, takes up martial arts and kendo for nostalgia. He also meditates as a futile hope of ever finding his zanpakuto to greet him.

17 months after, when Ichigo is offered a chance to gain new powers, he jumps at the chance.

However, little did Ichigo know, this "Fullbring" has much heavier ties to his soul reaper and other...much more complicated heritage and obtaining it would awaken his TRUE powers, and would lead to much enlightment to how his soul is.

These two facts changes everything.

Ginjo and Ywhach had better watch out.

(In which the ties between how White being passed on from Masaki to Ichigo being like Fullbring leads to a much more mature Ichigo awakening his true zanpakuto when he awakens his Fullbring)

A little discussion on Ichigo's powers

how is no one realising , that yhwach didn't hold back his quincy abilities- he held back his SHINIGAMI abilities.

What Yhwach did was take the quincy powers and IMMITATE shinigami powers. Which is the reason why Ichigos bankai was so baffling.

Because what it is, at its base is a Quincy Vollständig. with the key difference being that instead of absorbing the environment's reishi it pulled from Ichigo's inner reserves and then concentrated and amplified.

So yes- Byakuya was right.

It was a fake bankai, because it only imitated a quincy's take on it.

Which explains why, well there was nothing really for Ichigo to learn, to master about his bankai unlike other shinigami. Because the only thing too master was just the concentrated amount of spiritual pressure.

I know non manga readers won't know this as this was cut I believe from the anime because of screen time. But the reason Ichigo survived his fight with Kenpachi- aside Kenpachi basically limiting himself, is because of ブルート・ヴェーネ aka blut vene.

Ichigo was stabbed in the chest, bleeding out. When he reached out, when 'Old man Zangetsu' communicated with him, telling him they needed to work together- 'old man Zangetsu' made the decision to activate blut vene to stop the bleeding.

Because as he stated the only thing he cared about was saving and protecting Ichigo.

He only let Zangetsu , Shiro, teach Ichigo the bare minimum. Hell the fact Ichigo goes through the series into the TYBW Arc with only a Getsuga Tenshou and his amplifying hollow powers.

And for once it's not the bloody shounen disease nope.

It's a bloody stylistic plot related choice made by Kubo.

Because up until that point, we've never really seen Ichigo use his shinigami abilities.

Smashing two separate aus together to reach terminal velocity for fun and profit on accounts that

1) Gigai should lean into the being fake bodies bit, I think. Have people with spiritual pressure Notice that shinigami are Not Human actually bc something about them is. Off. They don't blink. They don't breathe. etcetc

Or. They should have leaned into the half-human angle for the Kurosaki kids more. Ichigo was already bullied for being a redhead just. Add a little spice and have them set off some kinds of alarm in the back of most people's heads. Let them be half actually physical and half made up spirit particles only you know, nobody told them ever. (And yes ik it is A Major Plot Point that Ichigo was alive and even got his whole soul chain cut but! I posit mind over matter. Nobody told his ass he could Danny Phantom it up (well. nobody actually knew they could do that tbf but also nobody ever hit him with the oh yeah your dad was never alive in the first place) and so well. Good luck with the Shattered Shaft I'm-definitely-not-hollowfying-you-on-purpose Ichigo! He figures it out. At some point. Eventually)

and

2) I do Not claim the aftermath of the Winter War/timeskip/Lost Agent Arc okay. Power loss arcs/storylines squick me out, okay! They're just. Sad. And I hate 'em. So a 'fix-it', the basis being that even if the Old Man and White Zangetsu were fused, it was the Old Man acting as 'Zangetsu' when Ichigo used the Final Getsuga Tensho, so the backlash went a little. Funky. (Bc yes i go with the theory that the Final Getsuga is a shinigami/Shiba thing not a bastardized Vollstandig and that mattered) so instead of losing his powers, Ichigo's soul started to destabilize (which yeah, did affect his power levels, but more on the his reiatsu is back to where it was before the Dangai instead of. Well. Everything) which to be fair was Very Bad and potentially fatal in the moment, so he had to be placed back in his body and was medically forbidden to leave it until his soul healed (which. for the purpose of the fused au is also how Ichigo figured out about the able to turn into a ghost on command thing-the combination of being forced to transmit spiritual energy through his physical body while he was healing+learning that his goddamn old man was. a shinigami actually shifted his worldview enough that when he was okayed to leave his body he just. Transformed instead). Alas, on account of his soul barely holding together with spit and determination and the teensy little detail of him being part-Hollow (and actual-Zangetsu being the only one awake to frantically try damage control) meant that some wires got crossed as his soul was healing itself, and well, instead of re-solidifying in it's previous state some elements from (both of) his Hollow form(s) filtered in accidentally to his new base state. Which. Yk. Is a super fun thing to find out and absolutely not at all horrifying to learn to live with.

doom & gloom

presented without comment

oh my god, I'm sobbing. This is the most beautifully written thing that puts everything about Ichigo and Zangetsu (both of them) into perspective in the most heart wrenching way possible

In like 13k words. It’s amazing please read it

Awakening By EyesOverEons

Ok, there are MCU fics where Petey, MJ, and Ned have their team Twitter account alongside their own; and the same goes for Nelson, Murdock, and Page.

NOW I need a textfic where The Zangetsu Gang is one of the Three [something] memes for a user or “Three [Xs] in a Trench Coat” joke.

And it’s for if they swap shotgun or fight over the driver’s seat, so to speak!
