I guess i was worried about nothing. BLEACH lives! I thought that once the Arrancar storyline was over, it'd be the end of BLEACH, but there still exists the secret behind Isshin Kurosaki, Ichigo's dad. If only chapters came out more quickly...
Ichigo Kurosaki started as a "normal" high school student who had an extremely powerful riatsu (spiritual energy). He could see / talk / touch ghosts, but he couldn't help his helplessness in being unable to save them. Then she came. Rukia Kuchiki, a shinigami apears in Ichigo's room right before a Hollow (lost spirit) attacks his family. To save his family Rukia lends him her Shinigami powers and Ichigo becomes a "temporary" shinigami. The first storyline of BLEACH follows them as Ichigo does his assignments, until Rukia is apprehended be the other shinigami, she is guilty of not reporting in for three months and for giving her powers to a mere human. Byakuya Kuchiki (Rukia's elder brother) takes back Rukia's power from Ichigo, nearly killing him in the process, then leads his sister back to the soul society (afterlife for good souls). The second story line consists of Rukia's rescue and Ichigo discovering his own shinigami powers. At about volume 21 that storyline ends with Rukia found innocent and also a victim of an even deadlier storyline that's coming up. Ichigo was officially considered a Deputy shinigami. That's about when the Arrancars started appearing, Sosuke's army of half hollow half shinigami soldiers. It became a war that if lost by the shinigami, Ichigo's home town, Karakura town, would be used as a final ingrediant to the desstuction of all the soul society's order.
In the last battle, Ichigo vs Sosuke, they were both at their peaks. Ichigo even used his final tensa zengetsu, with the major price, Ichigo was unable the beat Sosuke. Ichigo was about to attack again when the price started to kick in. Luckily Sosuke was weakened enough to be sealed away. Ichigo soon after lost conscience. He woke up a month later, with only minutes to spare. He made his farewells with Rukia, then... his riatsu ran dry. He was no longer able to see ghosts or shinigami or hollows, he couldn't even sense them. But the manga didn't end. Many months later... Ichigo is going on about his new ordinary life when someone suggests that he may not know his father as well as he thought, i mean, what else could his father be hiding if he was hiding the fact that he used to be a shinigami?
