Series Summary: 

     Bleach series is set in present day Japan showcasing an average a 15+ year old boy named Ichigo Kurosaki with an ability to see ghosts. One day Ichigo encounters a Shinigami (Soul Reaper) named Rukia, accidentally steals her powers and gets the mission of fighting evil souls named “Hollows.” Later however, Rukia is caught and sentenced her to death because the Soul Society discovered she had given her powers away (an illegal act). Ichigo blames himself for her capture and through the process of saving her gains many friends and enemies.  

    The plot later reveals that Rukia's exile and Ichigo's rescue attempts were both under the influence of Sōsuke Aizen, a high ranking Shinigami who faked his murder as part of an evil master plan to take control over the Soul Society. Aizen thirsts for power, so he deserts the Soul Society and betrays his fellow Shinigami to ally himself with the Hollows and becomes the main antagonist of the Bleach series. Ichigo ultimately teams up with the Soul Society (his former foe) after hearing Aizen’s plan to sacrifice his hometown to open a dimension in search of Soul Society's King. The Soul Society prepares for war against Aizen. No one is about to let Aizen seize more power.

General Facts:

     Shinigami ("death gods"; Viz "Soul Reaper(s)") are a race of spiritual beings that act as balance enforcers who all share similar supernatural powers. They cannot be detected by normal humans.

     Kido: Shinigami focus their Spiritual Energy into magic spells of various powers.
     
     Hoho: A variety of techniques associated with movement, including jumping and shunpo (flash step).

     Zanpakuto: The most common supernatural power possessed by a Shinigami is their Zanpakuto, a supernatural sword (Japanese Katana) generated from the Shinigami's soul. A Zanpakuto is spiritual force concentrated into a blade. All Shinigami have a Zanpakuto, but not all of them carry one with them.

Hollow  are a race of creatures which are born from Human Souls who, for various reasons, do not cross over to the Soul Society after their death and stay in the Human Wolrd feeding on dead souls who have not yet been made into Hollows. They reside in a place called Hueco Mundo a universe between Earth and the Soul Society.

     Soul Society: The Human World and Soul Society are parallel to each other and are two sides of the same coin. Families separated by death are rarely reunited in the Soul Society unless they arrive in Soul Society together. Soul Society is the afterlife (also called the spirit world). It is meant to correspond to Heaven or Nirvana in Human belief systems. It is the place where most departed souls' and the Shinigami live.
