Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki after he obtains the powers of a Soul Reaper (死神, Shinigami?, literally, "Death God") —a death personification similar to the Grim Reaper—from another Soul Reaper, Rukia Kuchiki. His newfound powers force him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife. Bleach has been serialized in the Japanese manga anthology Weekly Shōnen Jump since August 2001, and has been collected into 48 tankōbon volumes as of December 2010\[update\]. Since its publication, Bleach has spawned a media franchise that includes an ongoing animated television series that is produced by Studio Pierrot in Japan, two original video animations, four animated feature films, seven rock musicals, and numerous video games, as well as many types of Bleach-related merchandise. ======================================================================= Story ========= No. Title Original airdate English airdate ---Japanese Title & airdate -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 242 "Shinigami and Zanpakutō, Total Sortie" February 25, 2012 "Shinigami to Zanpakutō, Sōshutsugeki" (死神＆斬魄刀、総出撃) October 20, 2009 Ichigo goes to confront Byakuya, but Senbonzakura intercepts him, and he and Ichigo fight each other with their bankais.
