That’s when he meets a Soul Reaver named Rukia Kuchiki, who is injured while protecting Ichigo’s family from the assailant. To save his family, Ichigo accepts Rukia’s offer to take her powers and, as a result, becomes a Soul Reaper.
However, as Rukia is unable to regain her powers, Ichigo is given the daunting task of hunting down the Hollows that plague his village. He is not alone in his fight, however, as he is later joined by his friends-classmates Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, and Uryuu Ishida-who each have their own unique abilities. As Ichigo and his classmates get used to their new duties and support each other on and off the battlefield, the young Soul Reaper soon learns that the Hollows are not the only real threat to the human world.
