Bleach Episode 1 – The Day I Became a Shinigami

[ Episode 2 ]

The series begins with a look at a world of darkness, and several figures in the dark. Atop a telephone pole a young woman dressed in a black kimono senses a strong pulse and proceeds to jump forward. A message then appeared, saying: “And so the sword of fate had fallen”.

Elsewhere, an orange-haired high school student was fighting a couple of skateboarders, after they have knocked down a bottle containing a flower placed at a young girl’s death place. Having scared off the skateboarders, he proceeds to pick up the bottle while telling the spirit of the young girl who had died that he’ll bring more flowers tomorrow and she should hurry up and go to heaven.
