Ichigo has 2 meanings in Japanese “number 1” and “strawberry”. Fun fact: The first chapter’s title of Bleach manga is “Death and Strawberry”. The death is represented shinigami (Rukia) and the strawberry is represented Ichigo. OST “number 1” is obviously made for him.

Ok, since we are after the Grand Fisher, it's time to talk about the changes that happened in the previous episodes in comparison to the manga + of course the changes from these two. First, the scenes with Grand Fisher sending the Hollows after Ichigo in the previous episodes weren't there in the manga. Fisher showed up for the first time in this particular story, he didn't have a build up like in the anime. At the same time, Sora (Orihime's brother) wasn't eaten and shat out by the Hollows as a Hollow himself. In the manga he really just turned by himself due to lingering too long in the world of the living and the emptiness he felt when Orihime moved on. Second, from these two episodes, we have Saido... Who is anime original ;P. The reason for his existence is basically the same as why Grand Fisher had some scenes in the previous episodes - as a build up for the future events. Masaki's memories didn't possess the lure in the manga, that's anime original scene. Also, she's sadly turbo dead. The souls eaten by the Hollows are assimilated into them - they can only reincarnate as a new person if you purify the Hollow that has eaten them in the first place (there are some exceptions, tho). So, how did it went in the manga? Well, Grand Fisher did pierce Ichigo, but he did that THROUGH his lure, piercing the body of fake Masaki too. This, btw, was the exact same wound that killed the actual Masaki 6 years ago. Ichigo doesn't need extra encouragement here, he grabs Fisher's tentacle and cuts into him... But in a much more brutal way than in the anime. In the manga, he basically bisects him and Fisher only survives by transferring his consciousness into the lure, inflates it like a balloon and escapes. Now, despite the build up to Grand Fisher himself and the future Shinigami conflict, there's actually a scene that the anime omitted here - a scene that, funnily enough, did serve as a build up for the futures stuff. Specifically, we see what happens to Grand Fisher after he escapes. He returns to the Hollow dimension we already saw several times and needs to be patched up by the Hollow guy who got the close up at the beginning of episode 8. Well, more specifically, he needs to be "reconstructed", because he just lost his main body and escaped only as the lure. Either way, during this procedure the mask that got damaged by Ichigo cracks even further and completely falls apart - the result showing the REAL reason why the Shinigami are told not to destroy the masks of the Hollows.

It also translates to "for this time only" and "Once in a lifetime", One Protector and the number 15.

I bet he walked that river bank waiting for his mom’s soul to appear like all the others

To clear the confusion about ichigo name, yes, it does sound like strawberry, which is 苺 in kanji, or いちご in hiragana. But it's actually written 一護, 一 (ichi) which means one, ususally having meanings like "the one", "only" or "one's" when found in names, and 護 (read as "mamoru" as a single character, or "go" when accompanied) meaning protect or protection. Also Ichigo has a sign written 15 on his bedroom door because: ichi is one and go is 5

Blake Caplan

Also his name matches his age ichi being 1 and go being 5 for 15.

God, I love rewatching this anime and learning new things everytime. It’s my favourite anime of all time and I’m excited to watch all these episodes 🙏

31:23 What you saw when they ingest a plus spirit? Disregard it, that was filler. In the manga Inoue's brother turned into a hollow in his own because he was not able to pass on. When a hollow devours a plus, that's it, they devour it and that soul now is part of them. A human spirt and a plus spirit is the same thing, the only difference is one is chained to their body and the other has the chain broken. So eating a human spirit is the same, it becomes part of the hollow. When a hollow is purified, not only it is their soul that gets purified and passed on but all souls they have eaten as well

It's been 4/5 weeks since Episode 1

Bleach will EVENTUALLY start having end credit scenes. So keep checking for them. Usually they just drop small bits of lore or world building.

Bleach didn't invent the trend of incorporating concepts of mental health, trauma and depression into manga. But it certainly was one of the first to integrate the concept into a mainstream Shonen Jump title. Unlike a lot of shonen protagonists driven by external goals (becoming Hokage, finding the One Piece), Ichigo has no lofty ambitions. He doesn't want to be Hogake. He doesn't' want to be King of the Pirates. He is driven purely be a desire to protect the people around him (which may in part be pathological due to thinking he failed to protect his mother) His struggles are often internal. And seeing what is otherwise a strong male protagonist struggle with things like despair, feelings of powerlessness, trauma, a fear of failure etc was a powerful message for a generation of young Japanese readers who were part of a culture that, historically, demanded 'silent endurance'.

Man these episodes were a tough watch. At one point I just really needed to burp but I couldn't since I was constantly choking back tears. Thanks for watching/reacting to this :D
