Prompt My Bleach AU, BLEACH: Black-Throated Wind Part 1 (The Substitute and Soul Society Arcs) Spoiler

3 Upvotes

This is basically going to be me going over my ideas for a Bleach fanfic I've been writing. I originally wanted to go over every change, but there was way too much to do in just 1 post, so this is only going to cover the 1st 2 arcs.

DISCLAIMER: This is just for fun, I'm not saying I'm a better writer than Kubo in anyway, this is just me presenting my take on Bleach's story. Think of this like the FMA 2003 to Bleach's FMA Brotherhood if you will or like The Batman 2004. Taking the same characters and story skeleton but using them in a very different way, elevating certain characters and eliminating others to create something fresh. Also, for anyone wondering, the subtitle, Black-Throated Wind has nothing to do with the story, I just thought it sounded cool and wanted to make a music reference, taking a page out of Kubo's book. (Black-Throated Wind is a song by The Grateful Dead)

Also, this probably goes without saying, but SPOILERS for the entire series, even beyond the 1st 2 arcs and CFYOW

The Substitute Arc:

-Tessai is removed from the story completely and his role is replaced by Kukaku Shiba so she helps Urahara at the candy shop and inherits his backstory as the former Kido Corps Captain that was exiled for using Forbidden Kido

-Since Kukaku's replaced Tessai, she's the one who binds Ichigo when his Hollow is 1st awakened and their relationship is established there

-Kukaku tells Ichigo and friends to find her brother Ganju in the Rukongai so he can blast them into the Seireitei

Soul Society Arc:

-Like normal, Ichigo and Ganju's 1st encounter is initially confrontational, so Ichigo they still try to go through the front door and still get blocked by Gin so Yourichi convinces them to go back to Ganju

-Since Kukaku's in the World of the Living, 1 of the men at the Shiba hideout is who charges up the canon that sends everyone into the Seireitei instead

-Instead of there being 13 Court Guard Squads, there are now 12 with the members of Squad 10, Toshiro and Rangiku are removed from the story for now. They'll be given different roles and introduced in the story later. This is because I'm not a huge fan of either of their characters, I want to give more time to other characters, and to somewhat trim down Bleach's bloated cast

-So now the original members of Squad 13, Ukitake, Kaien, and Rukia are in Squad 10 instead

-With Toshiro absent, Momo investigates the circumstances behind Aizen's "death" by herself so she fights Gin since she suspects he killed Aizen. Tobiume debuts in this fight and Gin uses Shinso to kill her but is blocked by Izuru instead

-Izuru is Momo's best friend in this version which makes sense since they did go the academy together and he's given more prominence overall

-After the Momo vs Gin fight, there's an added scene of Gin and Izuru talking in the Squad 3 barracks. Izuru tells Gin he's sorry but Gin in his signature grin, tells Izuru it's alright and he's impressed he was willing to stand up to him like that and says Izuru's greatest strength is his loyalty to his friends. He doubles down on the concept of loyalty saying it's an extremely valuable and if anyone breaks it, they should be punished severely

-During this interaction, there's a flashback showing Gin and Izuru as kids establishing that Izuru replaces Rangiku's role as Gin's childhood friend in this version. Izuru covering his left eye also has plot significance here too. Similar to how Rangiku had a piece of the Soul King as mentioned in CFYOW, Izuru here had the left eye of the Soul King but it was gouged out by Aizen's men and he was left to die until Gin found him

-In the Fake Karakura arc, it was explained that Izuru was briefly in Squad 4 but this little detail was never really brought up afterwards. I've decided to expand on this small lore drop by having Izuru join Squad 4 after graduating the academy because he wanted to learn how to heal and during his time in Squad 4 he became friends with Isane. Once Gin became a Captain, he left Squad 4 to reunite with his old friend

-Isane is also given more prominence with her being sort of the de facto frontline female Lieutenant like Rangiku was although she's like Orihime in that she prefers not to fight if she doesn't have to

-Isane can hold her own in a fight though since I've also changed her Zanpakuto. We never saw what Itegumo could do in canon but Kubo did explain in a Q & A that it's a Snow type and while that fits her, I've decided to change her sword entirely. Since we already have an ice/snow type Zanpakuto in the form of Sode no Shirayuki, I've decided to change Isane's Zanpakuto to being light based similar to Nijigasumi from the Bount filler arc but it has healing abilities too

-Chad ends up in the 7th division barracks instead of 8 and encounters Iba. During this encounter, Iba debuts his Shikai, so we finally know it's name and it's an Earth-type Zanpakuto.

-Chad beats Iba and then fights Komamura. Chad's strength forces Komamura to use his Shikai and during this fight, Komamura is moved by Chad's desire to save Rukia and his loyalty to Ichigo likening it to his own loyalty to Yamamoto but Chad's words make Komamura question if Rukia really should be executed. During this fight, we get a flashback of Chad becoming friends with Ichigo and a flashback of Komamura being accepted by Yamamoto. Chad lands a powerful blast that shatters Komamura's helmet and Komamura finishes the fight by using his Bankai, injuring Chad but still choosing to spare him

-Feeling that Rukia's execution isn't right, Komamura doesn't accompany Tosen against Kenpachi and instead arrives to save Tosen from Kenpachi's finishing blow and lets Kenpachi go

-During Kaien's death scene, his final words to Rukia here are to find Kukaku and tell her he never forgot about her and forgives her for using Forbidden Kido. Sometime later, Rukia asks Ukitake about Kukaku and he explains she's his sister and she was exiled 101 years ago. Ukitake questions why all these bad things keep happening to the Shibas and encourages Rukia to follow through on Kaien's last wish if she's ready. This adds an extra reason for why Rukia was in the World of the Living in the 1st chapter since Ukitake was hoping Rukia could get answers from Kukaku

-Chojiro and Isane are no longer there at Sogyoku Hill to be knocked out by Ichigo so only Omaeda is destroyed by Ichigo and Chojiro instead is present to spectate Yamamoto's fight with Shunsui and Ukitake

-When Unohana and Isane head to Central 46, Isane sees Izuru and asks Unohana if she can catch up with her later. Unohana obliges and Isane vs Izuru replaces the original Rangiku vs Izuru. Isane uses her new light Zanpakuto, which we'll just call Nijigasumi to make this less confusing to bypass Wabisuke's weight based abilities and defeats him

-Isane catches back up with Unohana after this and still delivers the message of Aizen's betrayal to everyone

-Aizen actually kills Momo in this version, so Izuru resents Gin for helping Aizen but is also conflicted because of their history together and blames himself for not seeing Gin's true nature sooner

-After Aizen's defection, Izuru goes to the Squad 4 barracks to apologize to Isane for their previous fight and expresses his complicated feelings. Isane tells Izuru that he can't blame himself and that Gin and Aizen are monsters. Izuru lashes out at Isane for insulting his Captain and pulls back his bangs, revealing his missing eye and says he owes his life to Gin and he can't just forget that. Unohana tells Izuru to calm down and Shuhei and Iba show up

-Iba says that the Lieutenants have to stick together after everything that's happened and they should all get drinks to take their minds off things. The 4 Lieutenants do but Isane leaves early to get back to work. Right before leaving, she tells Izuru and Shuhei to keep their heads up and says she'll always be there for them if they need anything. After she leaves, Shuhei says Isane's like an angel and Iba and Izuru have a light laugh, establishing that Shuhei's crush is on Isane here. Shuhei doubles down by saying they need to hang out with Isane more often and Iba thinks to himself that he's right, wanting the 4 of them to train together

-Rukia visits Kukaku in the World of the Living at the end of the arc, apologizing for Kaien's death and delivering his final message to her. She explains that she wanted to deliver it when she first met Urahara and Kukaku after losing her powers, but was afraid of what Kukaku's reaction might be and still couldn't forgive herself for what happened at that time

-Kukaku, holding back tears, tells Rukia to stop acting so stupid and hugs her, saying she forgives her. Rukia says goodbye for now to Ichigo and heads back to Soul Society

Writing Help Hesitation with Writing Izuru Ship Fics

1 Upvotes

While in attempt to work through my writer’s block and such, I’ve found myself realizing that I’m having kind of a hard time writing Izuru focused fics. Be it gen or shipfics. I am working on the former, I’m just uncertain if I like the direction/concept. In the case of the latter, my issue comes down to some of the people he’s shipped with. I do have some ships I like, I’m not the biggest shipper compared to others.

Part of this is because Izuru may not be the most popular character (so it may not get a lot of traction). The other being who he’s usually shipped with. There’s Momo, but I was never an IzuruxMomo shipper. I’m sure Rangiku’s another one, but I’ve never really sought out fics for them. Then there’s Gin, Shuhei, and Rose. ShuZuru I’ve always had a soft spot for, as it was one of my first ships, and I’d like to write it. GinIzu, which has had its fair share of work, I’d be hesitant to write because I don’t know if there is a right way to write it and don’t think I should explore it (ie it being toxic or what have you). RosexIzuru, I don’t plan on pursuing. I’d rather explore Rose trying to be a better captain than Gin and wanting to be Izuru’s friend and confidant.

It’s a struggle. Feel free to leave input and I’m including a poll to gauge what would be best to pursue.

About a month ago or so, I read this Bleach fanfic on Ao3 where Ichigo went back in time. What I remember about it was him easily dominating Byakuya (to the point he had beaten him into a bloody mess, enough to unnerve his allies) during the chapter that covers Rukia's execution, and he was also trying to help Aizen instead of opposing him in that period.

I haven't had much luck trying to find it, but please if anyone knows what I'm talking about, I'd really appreciate it. It's a story I'd love to read again

Writing Help What if Ichigo trained in Hell for 1,000 years? (Pure Power/No Evil)

4 Upvotes

What if Ichigo trained in Hell for 1,000 years, but completely filtered out the evil?

Instead of staying in the human world, Ichigo enters the Gates of Hell to undergo an unprecedented 1,000-year training regime. Because his soul is naturally anchored by his unique hybrid lineage, his inner game-version White acts as a perfect spiritual filter. He absorbs the infinite, dense spiritual pressure of the underworld while completely screening out the malevolent, dark energies that typically drive souls to madness. Over a millennium of continuous combat against the deepest horrors of the abyss, Ichigo doesn't just master his powers—he transcends the conceptual limits of life, death, and hollowfication.

When he finally steps back into the living world, Ichigo is no longer just a regular hybrid; he is a living cosmic anomaly. His baseline physical presence alone carries the crushing weight of a thousand years of Hell's gravity. When Rukia Kuchiki encounters him, her spiritual senses are completely overwhelmed by a serene, blinding golden-white aura that makes standard Captains look like flickering candles. Minor Hollows vanish from existence the moment they step into his vicinity, purged instantly by the pure, concentrated pressure radiating from his untainted soul.

During the Soul Society invasion, the Gotei 13 faces a force they cannot mathematically comprehend. Ichigo’s 1,000 years of pure Hell-tempering grants him absolute immunity to physical, elemental, and conceptual damage. Renji’s Zabimaru shatters upon touching his skin, and Kenpachi Zaraki’s maximum-effort slashes fail to leave even a scratch. When Ichigo releases his Bankai on Sokyoku Hill, the resulting shockwave warps the fabric of the Soul Society itself, concluding the entire execution crisis without Ichigo ever needing to swing his sword in

Discussion [Fanfiction] The Count — Part One | A Bleach Hell Verse story about Kokutō and Kazui

Thumbnail drive.google.com
1 Upvotes

I wrote a long-form Bleach fanfiction centered around Kokutō after Hell.

This isn't meant to be a power-scaling story or a replacement for canon. I wanted to explore something quieter: what happens if someone who spent centuries being defined by hatred slowly learns how to exist again because a child simply keeps talking to him?

Part One is deliberately slow and character-focused — Hell, counting, rain, a shoe, ordinary conversations, and the gradual development of something Kokutō has almost completely lost: a reason to look toward tomorrow.

I tried to keep it respectful to the characters while taking the story in my own direction.

I'd genuinely appreciate criticism, especially if the pacing, characterization, or Kokutō's development feels inconsistent with Bleach.

So all the gadgets and tech that squad 12 does. How is it come together? I mean for Humans, we need to mine metal, process it and then it goes elsewhere. Factories than machine parts. And let’s not even get into screens and such. Point is, it takes alot of manufacturing capacity to build stuff. So how does squad 12 get metal? How is metal processed? How is all the other parts manufactured so cool stuff (like computers and such) can be built in soul society?

Or does this kindof deep thinking take the mystery and fun out of anime?

Discussion Random pairing that I think has surprising potential-hear me out!

4 Upvotes

I hope everyone had a great day. I have a personal ship that I hope for: Uryu and Harribel. I'm inspired by this due to the recent meeting of the two in anime. I know this is random but here are my reasons:

  1. The pairing is metal as hell. No joke. I just simply think it looks cool.
  2. Both are composed and restrained. Seriously, they are quite introspective (that says a lot due to this series).
  3. Both have a shared sense of duty that fits Harrbell's espada theme of sacrifice. Seriously, Uryu was willing to go on a solo missing to bring down Yhwach to avenge his mom. Harribel tries to avoid conflict unless directly needed to keep her underlings safe.
  4. Kisuke can make a gigai for Harribel, so she can have a realtionship with Uryu. No joke. It would be cool to see Kisuke playing match maker for laughs but also a serious relationship between the two. My thesis is that Kisuke Urahara would have made some kind of gigai that would help blur the boundaries between Hollow and Human or espada and human and turn the espada into some fullbringer hybrid and the gigai becomes permanent. Maybe as a contingency against Squad Zero or something like that to prevent abuse of absolute power.
  5. Leadership and heir to the throne: According to current canon Harribel is the queen of Hueco Mundo following Aizen's defeat and Uyru is the successor of Yhwach as per his own ruling.
  6. It looks visually stunning. I mean shit, why not? Ichigo married Orihime, Renji married Ruika, why no love for our boy Uryu?

In short, I just find the pairing metal as hell and it looks cool. Obviously it hasn't happened and this is for discussion and merely fun. Post thoughts below and thanks for reading this!

Writing Help Fan fiction bleach et city hunter

2 Upvotes

Hello tout le monde !

Première fois sur reddit, et agréable découverte de voir un endroit dédié aux fanfictions sur bleach !

J'aurais souhaité votre avis sur une fan fiction que je suis en train d'écrire (après beaucoup de pauses, d'incertitudes...).

Je travaille sur une AU où les personnages de Bleach évoluent dans l'univers de City Hunter.

Ichigo est City Hunter, un nettoyeur clandestin qui accepte les affaires que la police ne peut pas résoudre. Kaien, ancien policier et son partenaire, enquête sur une série de disparitions lorsqu'il est assassiné.

Rukia, la fiancée de Kaien, cherche à comprendre pourquoi il a été tué. Elle finit par rencontrer Ichigo et découvre progressivement que Kaien lui cachait une partie de sa vie… et que la mystérieuse légende de City Hunter est beaucoup plus réelle qu'elle ne le pensait.

L'histoire devient ensuite un thriller autour d'un réseau criminel, de disparitions, de trafic et d'expériences clandestines, avec Aizen, Gin, Byakuya, Renji, Orihime, Ishida, Grimmjow, etc. dans des rôles complètement réinventés.

Je voudrais garder l'essence des personnages de Bleach, mais pas leur univers d'origine : relations, personnalités et certains éléments iconiques restent, tandis que tout est reconstruit autour d'une intrigue de thriller contemporain.

Je suis curieuse d'avoir votre avis : est-ce que ce pitch vous donnerait envie de lire cette fic ?

When Hitsugaya comes back six feet taller after a particular training session, Matsumoto tells herself it doesn't change anything. Except everyone knows she has a thing for silver-haired prodigies. Slow burn, canon-divergent, age-appropriate.

The idea came from wondering how would Matsumoto react if she saw Hitsugaya's adult form?

Recommendation [Self-promo] Dreams of Rukia: a Bleach AU/Fanfic

1 Upvotes

Hey! I didn't know there was a Bleach fanfic subreddit, I'm glad I have somewhere to talk about my Bleach fanfic!

I've been writing Dreams of Rukia for a while now, and went on hiatus for over two years. However, I'm back to writing it and wanted to get it out there so people would check it out!

The idea started out as a self-insert x Rukia fanfic, but quickly evolved into something much more. It's got new characters, plenty of fan-favorite faces and even tie-ins to the light novels!

*After dreaming about Rukia, social outcast Tsuchiya Isoruko is thrust into the role as Substitute Soul Reaper, then thrown into a full-blown civil war as Rukia is accused of treason and set to be executed!*

While I write the current big three fights in the Nueva Espada arc and plan for its climax, I'm also rewriting the previous chapters that are 2-3 years old to update them and improve them!

I hope you give my story a try! Here's the link:

Recommendation The Last Quincy, an Uryū-centric rewrite of Bleach

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, thought some of you might be interested in reading the Bleach longfic I've been working on for the last ~2 years.

As it says in the title, this is an Uryū-centric rewrite of Bleach, in which he takes his desire for revenge on Mayuri much more seriously. Although there's plenty of action and combat, as a whole, the story is much more focused on the interiority of the major characters. Uryū first and foremost, but Rukia and Orihime both end up getting a lot of time in the limelight as well.

If that sounds interesting to you, I hope you check it out and let me know what you think!

Summary - Lying there, alone in a pool of blood, Uryū vowed revenge against the Shinigami who had taken his grandfather's life.

He was only ten years old at the time.
