BLEACH

A teenager who can see ghosts, Ichigo Kurosaki gains some of the powers shared by his new friend Rukia Kuchiki and becomes a Soul Reaper.

Rukia wants Ichigo to take over her Soul Reaper duties, but he refuses. A mysterious shadow begins following Orihime, a classmate with a sad past.

Orihime learns her brother is a Hollow, a soul that didn't pass peacefully to the Soul Society but lingered, pursuing those he loved most in life.

Ichigo's pal and classmate Chad Sado brings a cursed bird to school that's really the soul of a boy who lived a tragic life.

Rukia and Chad fight Shrieker, a vicious Hollow who has defeated many Soul Reapers and committed many crimes. But they can't beat him without Ichigo.

At a supply shop, Rukia picks up a modified soul to take over Ichigo while he's pulling Soul Reaper duty, but it absconds with Ichigo's body.

Rukia and Ichigo track his body to an elementary school, where Ichigo struggles with the mischievous, fun-seeking soul inhabiting his physical form.

On the anniversary of his mother's death, Ichigo intends to take the day off from Soul Reaper duties to visit her grave with the rest of his family.

Ichigo faces the Grand Fisher, a Hollow using a lure in the shape of a little girl whom Ichigo remembers seeing when his mother died.

TV star Don Kanonji tapes his show "Spirit Hunter" at an abandoned hospital, where Ichigo finds a demi-Hollow being summoned for the program.
