Bleach: Derailed

The balance between his powers is the big one. The question to ask is, what happens to Quincy when they die? In canon, his native hollow and soul reaper powers were suppressed by his quincy side, who faked the whole Zangetsu/Sword thing. Here Ichigo is no longer living human with spiritual power (quincy), but is dead (not dead-dead, just one dead. :V). If Quincy powers are lost or weakened upon death, then his native powers might not be suppressed as they were in canon by his quincy side.

Which might both improve his overall growth, power, and his control (since part of his own power isn't messing with the other parts on purpose), but depending on how weakened the quincy powers are might lower his total level cap.

He also starts with a real asauchi here.

He's also died. That has to have some effect on his soul, considering just being sad made it rain within it.

So I'd expect some changes to his soul, and thus, Zangetsu.
 
Also is there really no fanworks thread for Bleach on SV?
what i can see here movement, sword and healing are winning, but those who are healing mostly specialised in it because of their lack of raw power, of course, there are exceptions unohana and Tenjirō Kirinji but mostly those are good at Kido who focus on their superb control over their power to heal others. So to healing others healers control over their power must be absolute or close to it. does that mean if Ichigo excels in healing he will be able to improve his control?

also, can we focus on Kido later (after 1 year period) or will always remain useless in kido?
 
Well, don't forget that Ichigo died in canon, too.

Urahara kicked him out of his body, then cut his soul chain, and then dumped him into a pit until he hollowfied. He's dead, Jim.

He's sometimes still driving around his original body because reasons, but Ichigo gets pretty thoroughly dead there, and it doesn't do anything we know about to his various random power sources, including quincy powers going back to YMCA.

We can probably learn. After all, we will still have the other classes. We just are focusing majorly in three certain classes. At worst, everything else will be considered below average. But not incompetent.
 
But for a Bankai? Very underwhelming.

I hope we learn it.
Ichigo despite being smart is very straightforward which is why his idea of getting stronger us just improving his swording, it took until Uke to add his laser and didn't make a second move until the final arc he needs outside help to come up with new things.

He only trained to fight, he never trained in tactic or strategy it's not his fault. Despite his somewhat punkish attitude, Ichigo is analytical, perceptive, and deductive. In his high school, Ichigo's grades are almost always near the top, despite his work as a Substitute Shinigami. Aside from that, Ichigo can determine the pattern of his opponent's battle methods and form a proper counter-strategy to defeat his opponent's attacks. He needs proper training in strategy, for that reason alone i am supporting 2nd, they are the bloody hand of gotei13, they are pragmatic and do not have any illusion about war, and they know that In a match to the death, there's no such thing as fair or foul. Also, they mostly specialized in stealth, assassination, hand to hand combat and speed. I mean join the division and learn all things you need, Soi-Fon is supreme taskmaster so you will be constantly forced to do better and better or you will die. In canon Ichigo forced to go through the same situation, here he got proper instructor and time. He can ask Unohana for training in healing and i am sure 2nd got Kido Experts to teach him or at least contact Kido corps to get instructor after all both organization under the direct supervision of the Central 46. Ichigo is a tool so if he wants to improve in something so that he can become more deadly then they will provide him with the materials/tutors. After his training, he can go to other divisions or become caption, look at the case of Kisuke. He was a member of 2nd but he became a member of 12th. Maybe 2nd will even support such promotion to get influence in other division.

Training Priorities:
1. Hoho
2. Zanjutsu
3. Kido (kaido)
4. Hakuda
5. Kido (hado)
6. Kido (bakudo)

You learn a few things over the helter skelter week you're flung headfirst into. Gengorō Ōnabara, the man in charge of class 1, knows exactly what to do with people who think that they can handle anything he dishes out.

He works them. Into. The. Ground.

The man's a big tan giant, and while the first thing he said is that size isn't everything, it sure does give him a better reach than you have! He comes at you hard and fast. Your leg sweeps out as you push him further along his path, taking his feet out from under him, but he has your shirt in his clenched fist and you go down with him.

He throws himself back upright with a heave while you're still rising, and this is just like fighting your dad whenever he decides that you can handle the next stage of his demented surprise attacks. He's just a little faster than you, fighting at a level you can't quite match. At least, you couldn't match that level when you started.

Instead of rising straight up you slam your elbow forward at the same time as you dive, digging the pointed joint into Gengoro's stomach. It feels like you're striking a brick wall, but he has to take a step back to absorb the full force of it. "A good hit." He acknowledges. "But you need to take proper advantage of your spiritual energy, Kurosaki. You can stand much more than your mind expects your body to be able to, because you have no body to hold you back. Before next week I expect you to not flinch so much. You can use the training arms until the end of the lesson."

And that's the second thing. You used to think about strength as muscle mass, good posture, and timing, but now... soul-body muscle matters so much less than how much spiritual energy you have, in the afterlife. Apparently some souls are more full of energy than others, and that energy makes you stronger, faster, and tougher as well as powering magic stuff.

You have a lot of spiritual power. That's one of the first things anybody can tell about you, because it's the reason your sword got so big and has such an unusual shape. A Soul Reaper's power expresses itself through the size of their zanpakuto. You can't have a big sword without the power to make it that big, so you having a giant one so early is supposed to make you stand out as some kind of natural powerhouse in the making.

Mostly you think it's inconvenient, and every now and then you get it caught on something.

If you had more control then you could seal it, make it take a more normal size, but it'll take a while to get that control.

The third thing you learn is that battlefield healing is both simpler and harder than you thought it'd be.
"You need to keep your energy in harmony with your patient's. Keep your hands over the center of their abdomen, about where the diaphragm is." Hanataro, the healing kido instructor, repeats for about the fourth time. This class is much smaller than the crowd the previous one had. Apparently not many people want to learn how to use magic powers to heal people. There are only four of you here, all gathered around the tired-looking man as he walks you through the steps, demonstrating on the bald man tied to the table.

"Why's he tied down?" You ask.

"He tried to escape before he was discharged, resulting in -aaah- torn muscles, the cut in his stomach opening again, and a broken door."

The baldy nods. He looks pleased.

"So he volunteered to get more healing at the academy instead of from the fourth division healers. At least I think he volunteered. He did say that he'd do anything to get out sooner... Do one of you want to try?"

Well. Okay.

You step forward and put your hands in the air just above the man's diaphragm. You feel for your power and sort of push it out of your hands, concentrating on making it 'fuzzy', which is how you make it mesh with the patient's.

A faint green glow sputters to life from your palms. "I feel it resonating." You say as your power seeps into the injured man, supplementing his own and encouraging his body to heal.

"Good. Madarame, do you feel it working?"

The man shrugs, hesitates, and then nods. Shortly afterward you lose your grip on the technique and it fails. But it worked!

You smile, but it feels weird, so you stop and step aside to let someone else have a try as the healer talks. "That's the most basic healing kido, and the one that's most often used even in life-threatening situations. It scales up to match the worst injuries very easily, so all you have to do is push more into it, but it's also very sensitive. If you've been bitten or scratched by a hollow, don't use it. Seriously, don't. Even a little hollow spirit energy can cause some... just don't risk it. It's not a good idea."

I'll gloss over the uneventful classes over the next update to familiarize you with the current 'normal' that Ichigo is going through, ending each week-spanning update with a significant extra curricular activity voted on in the previous update.

So what happens?

[] Takako gives you a lesson on the various noble clans.
[] You get an unexpected visitor from Takako's family.
[] An upperclassman challenges you to a fight.
[] A cat decides that it lives in your dorm now.

I wonder what happens if you try it on a hollow. What if it destabilizes them, and they collapse like the foam in a cup of soda?

Hey Yoruichi! :)
 
Hahahaha, I love that Ikkaku volunteered to be the healing dummy rather than go back to Unohana's 'tender mercies' :lol:rofl:
 
[X] An upperclassman challenges you to a fight.

So, I'm curious. Considering as how strength in the shinigami world is determined by spiritual power, why do they have a bunch of bodybuilders in the Eleventh?
 
^^
Spiritual energy matters a lot, but well formed spiritual energy is more effective.
You can't go around with your sword extended man.
