Over the years, Ichigo has bleachbut when it comes to family, Ichigo really doesn’t have much — at least in the world of the living.
Ichigo’s family has always been small. He has two older sisters, Yuzu and Hualin, and his father lives in bleach Kurosaki wholeheartedly. His mother died in a Hollow attack nine years before the story, and Blood War of the Millennium It was revealed that she herself was an orphan, meaning that Ichigo never had paternal grandparents. It is known that Ichigo’s father was once a god of death, but that didn’t happen until the last few episodes. However, thanks to this new information, several new faces may be added to Ichigo’s genealogy.
come back sooner bleachIn the Soul World chapter, Ichigo goes to the Spirit World and is taken by Yoichi to Shiba Kuzuru’s house to try to enter the Seireitei. Kukaku and her brother Ganju agree to help Ichigo, and Ganju even goes with them, although he doesn’t particularly like Ichigo. They worked together along the way, and after that, Yan Ju returned to the old house of the Spar family. Relive the mid-season finals God of Death: Thousand Years of Blood WarIt is revealed in the play that Kurosaki Isshin, Ichigo’s father, came to this world after his mother’s name, and that his real name in the spirit world is Shiba Isshin. Isshin was the head of the Shiba clan at the time—belonging to the same Shiba clan as Iwazu and Kuzuru. In fact, Isshin is their uncle, so Ganju (and Kukaku) are Ichigo’s cousins.
Deeper family connection with Ichigo
While it’s funny how Ichigo fights alongside his cousin without even knowing it, the story actually goes much deeper than that. Kukaku and Ganju also have an older brother, Kaien Shiba, who bleach Soul Reaper died on a mission. Kane is the friend and boss of rookie Rukia, who is forced to kill him when he is possessed by void. Many characters comment on Ichigo’s resemblance to Kaizon, with some speculating that Ichigo may be the reincarnation of Kaizonshiba on Earth. While that may be true, there is now another possible explanation: family resemblance. After all, Ichigo is also directly related to Kaien.
While Ichigo may never have put the pieces together, that doesn’t change the fact that his genealogy has been looking less lonely lately. I hope that one day, bleach Ichigo will be seen welcoming the Shiba family with open arms – just like the members of the Shiba family.
