BLEACH

Ichigo knows that to retrieve Rukia from the Soul Society, he'll have to enter that world himself. But his fight with Rukia's brother Byakuya showed, in no uncertain terms, that Ichigo still has a great deal of rigorous study and training ahead of him. Deep beneath Kisuke's Urahara Shoten, Ichigo practices his fighting and hones his spiritual energies, and now he must face the most daunting challenge of all: prevent his Chain of Fate from consuming itself, or be forever transformed into a soul-devouring Hollow!

Ichigo and his friends have returned home from the battle in the Seireitei, but everything is far from back to normal. Ichigo’s inner Hollow is getting more powerful and can’t wait to devour him, and having to deal with the sinister new transfer student isn’t helping matters. Plus, a deadly new enemy is poised to attack Karakura Town!

The race to save Rukia from the Soul Society is officially on, and Ichigo and company have come to their first roadblock, a very, very big roadblock. Jindanbô, the monstrous, fez-sporting gatekeeper hasn't let a single soul enter the Western Gate he guards in over 300 years, and he isn't about to change his mind about it just because Ichigo's crew wants to go through. But, in a where-the-rubber-meets-the-road kind of way, Ichigo wasn't expecting his assault on the Soul Society to be a piece of cake. After all, that'd just be boring.

Ichigo has been hoping to put off dealing with his inner Hollow until after the Arrancars are dealt with. But it becomes horribly clear that he has no chance against Aizen’s new army if he doesn’t get his Hollow in line. Luckily, he’s met a group of ex-Soul Reapers called the Visoreds, who have harnessed their own Hollows. But can Ichigo really trust his new teachers?!

With the help of Kûkaku--a one-armed explosives expert and old friend of the mysterious talking cat Yoruichi--Ichigo and crew are one step closer to infiltrating the Soul Society and rescuing their friend Rukia before she is executed. For Kûkaku's plan to work, Ichigo must control his enormous reservoir of spiritual energy--and there's no telling how much collateral damage this will cause. Meanwhile, the Soul Society hasn't been twiddling their collective thumbs, and quickly dispatches a delegation of captains to give the unwanted visitors the rudest of welcomings imaginable.

Orihime has been kidnapped by Aizen, but the Soul Society has refused to rescue someone they see as a traitor. So it’s up to Ichigo, Chad and Uryû to get her back. But getting to Hueco Mundo is the easy part. Now they need to reach the Arrancar fortress in one piece!

Don't Kill My VoluptureOrihime has been kidnapped by the turncoat Soul Reaper Aizen and his terrifying Arrancar, and it’s up to Ichigo, Chad and Uryû to rescue her. But the Arrancar world Hueco Mundo has many surprises in store for the heroes…not the least of which is how much it will change them!

Ichigo successfully defeats Ikkaku of the Eleventh Company and is rewarded with a valuable piece of information--the location of where Rukia is being detained as she awaits execution. However, Ichigo's companion, the pyrotechnics-wielding Ganju, is having a much harder time with his Soul Reaper opponent. Meanwhile, Orihime and Uryû confront the younger brother of the gargantuan gatekeeper whom Ichigo defeated a little while ago. It's time for Uryû to put all his training to the test and prove to everyone (and himself) how much more powerful he has become.

The Soul Reapers have finally joined Ichigo and his friends in the fight against the Espada in Hueco Mundo. But while the bloody battle holds all their attention, Aizen is free to make his next diabolical move!

With reports of powerful intruders defeating a number of assistant captains, the inner sanctum of the Soul Society--the Seireitei, the home of the Soul Reapers--is put on a state of high alert. Matters are further compounded by the mysterious death of a prominent captain. Is his death a cover-up to prevent a valuable secret from being exposed? Meanwhile, Ichigo confronts Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of the eleventh company, and by far the most brutal fighter in the Seireitei!

Chad has stormed his way into the heart of the Soul Society, only to meet his match in Captain Kyôraku. Meanwhile, Ichigo struggles in his battle against Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th company. Although Ichigo succeeds in drawing blood, the secret of Kenpachi's zanpaku-tô may be his undoing. Before Ichigo realizes it, Kenpachi's blade has pierced his heart!

The Soul Reapers and Aizen’s Espada forces are fighting a vicious battle over Karakura Town, with the fate of all the residents in the balance. But while his hometown faces destruction, Ichigo is stuck in Hueco Mundo dueling against the Espada Ulquiorra. Pushed to the breaking point, Ichigo’s only hope of winning is to unleash his inner Hollow. But with the monster free, will anything be left of him to claim victory?!

The Battle for Karakura Town is heading towards a grim conclusion as Ichigo and his allies continue the bloody melee against Aizen’s Espada horde!

In the end, Captain General Yamamoto himself faces off against Aizen, but what if even his legendary strength isn’t enough to defeat the ultimate traitor?!

During a bloody confrontation with a sadistic Soul Reaper, Uryû chooses a path that will temporarily grant him enormous power, at great personal cost. Meanwhile, Ichigo races to master a powerful technique that will help him fight Byakuka and,hopefully, save Rukia from execution.
