As they have little privacy at the post, they have to go on patrol together to get the opportunity for some sex.

One day, a colonel (Sharon Raginiano) arrives at the base with two females, one of whom he immediately has sex with in the bunker. The other one, Yaeli (Aya Koren, credited as Aya Steinovitz), is very interested in Jagger, while she refuses the sexual advances of Ofir (Assi Cohen), who tries to make clear to her that Jagger is not particularly interested in her.













The colonel is there to supervise a nighttime ambush, of which Yossi is resentful because of the full moon, and also because he fears for Jagger's safety. And indeed Jagger is fatally
injured that night, dying in the arms of his lover, who only now is able to articulate his love for him.














At the funeral reception at Lior's parents' house, Jagger's mother mistakes Yaeli for his girlfriend. She laments that she knew very little about her son, including his favorite song, which Yossi is able to tell her.

Bleach ( Soul Society Races)


In each manga and anime in Bleach their is a group or races who appear to be good or an evil which became an allies or enemy of Ichigo Kurosaki and the Soul Society.

The Kurosaki family:


Ichigo Kurosaki


- is the main character of the anime and manga series Bleach. The series begins with Ichigo receiving shinigami powers as a result of a run-in with Rukia Kuchiki, one of the many shinigami who inhabit the spirit world, Soul Society.

Isshin Kurosaki

- is a character in the manga and anime series Bleach. He is t
he father of Ichigo Kurosaki and as such, head of the Kurosaki family.

Masaki Kurosaki


- born June 9 and died June 17, is the mother of Ichigo, Yuzu, and Karin. She died while Ichigo was still a child, and her death deeply affected her family. Isshin keeps a large poster of her on the wall and occasionally talks to it for comic relief. Though Ichigo initially believed that she had been killed by falling debris, he later discovers that the hollow Grand Fisher was actually responsible for her death.

Karin Kurosaki
- Karin is the cynical and sarcastic daughter of Isshin. She is an exce
llent soccer player with a kick powerful enough to fight weak hollows (this occurs later in the anime). Karin's tough exterior results from her mother's death; because she could not be useful around the house like Yuzu, she resolved never to cry so that she would not burden her family with her personal troubles.

Yuzu Kurosaki
-Yuzu is Karin's fraternal twin (both were born on May 6) and more soft-spoken in comparison. She is also the more caring of the two girls. She takes care of most of the housework. Unlike her siblings, she is only able to see faint outlines of spirits. Both girls help out in the family's clinic. She is Karakura Yellow in Don Kanonji's Karakura Superheroes.

Urahara Shop:


Kisuke Urahara
- always wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals and a bucket hat, which has earned him the nickname "sandal-hat."In the English version, he is called Mr. Hat-and-Clogs. He is generally a laid-back, jovial fellow, although he can be deadly serious when the situation warrants it. Yoruichi notes that he tends to go over the top with whatever he becomes passionate about. He once described himself as a 'mere honest, handsome, perverted businessman'.Kisuke Urahara is a former captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13. He is also the founder and the first President of the Shinigami Research Institute (succeeded by Mayuri Kurotsuchi in both positions).

Yoruichi Shihouin


- Yoruichi Shihouin is an attractive, dark-skinned woman who c
an transform into a black cat for long periods of time. She is intelligent and witty, and is intimately knowledgeable of Soul Society and its workings, as she was the former leader of the special forces. Although of noble birth, she acts differently from other nobles. For instance, she instructed Soifon to refer to her without using honorific suffixes. She also showed her playful side when she transformed into her human form before Ichigo, teasing him about his reaction to seeing her naked body.


Jinta Hanakari


- is a small, red-haired boy who is supposed to do manual labo
r for the shop, such as cleaning, but usually slacks off and forces Ururu to do all the work. He desires to be a baseball star as well as Karakura Red (fighting for the position with Karin Kurosaki) in the team of Karakura Superheroes led by Don Kanonji. He seems to have a crush on Yuzu Kurosaki, calling her "The Goddess." This is shown in the omake chapters after the anime episodes when he gives her discounts at the shop and treating a good-luck charm she gave him as an extremely important possession (it was really Kon's plushie body tied to a string, which caused a fight between the two over it during a soccer game). Jinta, like the other shop members, appears to be old and wise when he isn't fooling around. While he likes to constantly bully Ururu, he does care for her, shown when he recovered her body after she was wounded by the arrancar Il Forte Grantz. Also, like Ururu, he displays powerful fighting abilities comparable to those of shinigami. His primary weapon is an oversized tessen.

Ururu Tsumugiya


- is a meek little girl whose hair style somewhat resembles a cockroach. She does manual labor for the shop, as well as assisting Urahara in training Ichigo. She is Karakura P
ink in the Superheroes team and uses a multi-barrelled cannon as her weapon. Her meek attitude is somewhat at odds with her fighting ability, which is at least comparable to a fifth or fourth seat shinigami, if not more. She also appears to be adept at healing. Her combat skills are shown when she gives the arrancar Il Forte Grantz a devastating kick to the head while fighting Renji Abarai. In the anime, she also delivers an earthshattering kick to Sawatari's giant whale doll, Baura, thus saving Rangiku Matsumoto and Yasutora Sado. She seems to respond robotically when injured or when hollows initially appear.

Tessai Tsukabish


- is a large, muscular man who always wears an apron. It is unc
lear what work he does for the shop, but he is Urahara's personal assistant in both business-related and other matters. Tessai is skilled in demon arts, shown by his use of a level 99 binding spell, possibly the most difficult of them. He is also shown to have great physical strength, made apparent by his ability to smash a hollow's head to pieces with a single, open-palmed thrust. He is also fiercely proud of the shop; this is shown when Orihime Inoue praises the shop basement, finding it really cool, and Tessai bursts into tears when thanking her. When Soifon refers to the shop as "pokey," his instant reaction is irritation and he has to be subdued by Urahara. He is also among the few who find Orihime's food tasty.

Modified Souls:

are souls are artificial souls created by Soul Society researchers some time ago. They have enhanced speed and strength when compared to normal humans, and often special abilities which set them apart from each other.


Kon
- is a fictional character from the manga and anime series B
leach. His name is short for Kaizō Konpaku.Kon, named by his owner Ichigo Kurosaki is an artificial soul (modsoul) designed to inhabit Ichigo's body when Ichigo is in his shinigami form; when not serving that purpose, Kon usually inhabits a lion plushie.

The BountArc Modsouls:


In the anime's Bount arc, three more modified souls are introduced. Created by Urahara, they are designed to track and combat the Bount. They originally live in gigai created by Kisuke Urahara, and have the ability to sense the spiritual presence of the Bount. They also possess special abilites like Kon, but their abilities (with the exception of Kuroud) are energy-based rather than physical. Like Kon, they use plushie bodies so they're less conspicuous in several episodes; however, in that form their special powers are weakened or absent.



Ririn
- While in her gigai form, is small girl with short blonde hair
wearing a pink fur coat, a purple bird-shaped cape, and red boots. When not in her gigai, she inhabits an anthropomorphic bird plushie. Her special ability is the creation of illusions. She acts as the leader of the trio, and has a fondness for games. She is partnered with Ichigo Kurosaki.

Kuroud


- Also known as Claude or Cloud, Kuroud is a bespectacle
d man with a moustache and two-tone hair color (black to the right, yellow to the left). He wears a gray top hat, multi-colored suit and tie, as well as dark brown boots, giving him an appearance similar to a circus manager. His plushie body is a rabbit-esque purse. He is partnered with Orihime Inoue.

Noba
- More commonly known as Nova, Noba is a young man in a fur coat and a zippered mask, with a slim build, red hair, and green eyes. He inhabits an anthropomorphic turtl
e plushie when out of his gigai. He's very quiet, rarely speaking more than a few words and also rather shy, zipping up his hood when he blushes. He is partnered with Yasutora Sado, who is equally quiet.

Shun Shun Rikka

(Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield Or Six Princess Shielding Flowers):



Ayame
- is a shy female spirit covered in a dress larger than her bo
dy. She is capable of healing together with Shun'ō.

Baigo
- is a bald male spirit with a mask that covers the bottom of his face. H
e is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Hinagiku and Lily.

Hinagiku
- a male spirit with a large eyepatch that ends in a horn. H
e is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Baigon and Lily.

Lily
- s a female spirit with transparent goggles. She is capable o
f shielding Orihime from attacks along with Baigon and Hinagiku.

Shun'ō
- is a friendly female spirit with a topknot. She and Tsubaki ar
e usually the ones who talk to Orihime. She is capable of healing together with Ayame.

Tsubaki
- is a fiery male spirit who is the only Shun Shun Rikka
capable of direct attack. He often strikes anyone who gets on his nerves (including Orihime). Because he is primarily focused on attacking, he is vulnerable to counter-attacks and has been injured several times. The stronger Orihime's anger and killing intent, the more powerful he becomes.


Quincy:


Uryū Ishida



- is a major character in the anime and manga series Bleach. He is a classmate of Ichigo Kurosaki. He is first introduced as the last Quincy.


Ryūken Ishida


-is a character in the manga and anime series Bleach. Ry
ūken is the son of Sōken Ishida and father of Uryū Ishida. The Director of Karakura Hospital, he is also known as the last Quincy, a status contested by his son

Sōken Ishida
-The mentor of his son, Ryūken, and grandson, Uryū, Sōken (
born March 22) was a kind old man whom Uryū admired. He was killed by hollows when the shinigami did not come in time to save him, and was the last documented Quincy specimen obtained by Mayuri Kurotsuchi for his research. His death is the primary reason Uryū hates the shinigami.

The Bounts:

Jin Kariya
-s the leader of the Bounts. According to the cast list in epis
ode 83, his real name was Eugene Currier, but he adopted a Japanese-style name later in his life. He has a scar on his chin, and bright red eyes, and is the most powerful member of the Bount group. Initially, according to Yoshino, his goal was to consume living spirits and gain massive amounts of power. However, this had a 50% chance of ripping open the barrier between the mortal world and the world of hollows. As the series progressed, however, he revealed that his plans were to invade Soul Society. He controls the clan's power to the dolls with a pack of cards referred to as the seal.

Messer

- is Jin Kariya's doll.

Koga Gou


- is a large and muscular man who resembles a punkish bi
ker with spiky orange hair. Even without using his doll, Koga has impressive physical strength, able to easily overpower Ichigo with just his bare hands. His doll is Dalk, a female metallic doll who can control her molecules and reshapeherself at will. According to episode 83, Koga's real name is Claude Gauguin, and he lived in a European country in years past. He has lived for over 12 generations. After a falling out with Kariya over his plan to destroy Soul Society, which Koga found too extreme, Koga attempted to find and stop Kariya himself. He ended up fighting and losing to Tōshirō Hitsugaya, instead, as neither he nor Dalk could contend with the extreme cold and long-range nature of Hitsugaya's zanpakutō. He did not die, however, and was secretly taken by Yoruichi Shihouin to Ran'Tao's home, where he was nursed back to health. Upon discovering that he was the last Bount, he apologized for the actions of his race, and Kariya in particular. He was last seen living with Ran'Tao.

Dalk
- is Koga's doll. She takes the form of a metal sphere when sealed.

Ryō Udagawa


- is Kariya's former right hand man and views all humans
as food. His doll is Fried, a snake-like creature that can copy itself. He secretly plots to overthrow Kariya as leader by stealing his seal, but is killed by Maki Ichinose.

Fried
-is Ryō Utagawa's doll. When sealed, it takes the form of a small, gold pocket watch that Ryō keeps on his person. When unsealed, it takes the form of a yellow snake and is usually wrapped around Ryo's shoulders.

Yoshino Sōma


-is a slim woman. Yoshino claims to oppose her superior/lover
, Jin Kariya. She resembles Uryū Ishida's mother in appearance, but it is stated that the Bounts can not produce life. Yoshino seems to be the exception to the rule, as it was stated that she could reproduce. Yoshino also bears a great resemblance to Rantao, the creator of the Bounts. The reason for their resemblance is because Yoshino is a copy of Rantao, since the Bounts are artificial souls that were created based on shinigami souls.

Goethe
- is Yoshino Sōma's doll. It takes the form of a claw (on her left hand) and ring (on her right hand) when sealed.


Ugaki


-is a male Bount who had the appearance of a professio
nal middle-aged man. He wears a shirt and tie, glasses, and has his hair combed to one side.

Gesell
-is Ugaki's doll. It is sealed within a pack of cards resembling tarot cards, which Ugaki uses to control the doll's actions. In its normal state, Gesell takes the form of many small, mouth-like eye creatures.

Mabashi


- An effeminate male Bount, Mabashi ears strange clothing, has a tongue ring, and seems to be quite cocky in his speech and manners. Unlike the other Bounts, Mabashi is
n't afraid to speak his own mind even if his opinion and ideas do not correlate with Kariya's.

Ritz

- is Mabashi's doll. When sealed, she takes the form of a seed that hangs on Mabashi's necklace. When the seed is dropped onto the ground, it sprouts into a small, flower-like, mouse creature that has the ability to possess others


Yoshi


- a female Bount, has dark green hair and wears a pu
rple traditional Chinese-style pao with beige pants. She seems to be somewhat masculine and intimidating. Yoshi appears very eager to gain power when Jin offers it to her, but she is also somewhat reluctant to be blindly following him. Her doll, Nieder, is a sword and fan connected by a chain, both of which are capable of speaking independently. Yoshi also utilizes her feet for kicking opponents in movements that suggest she is a wushu fighter.

Nieder
- is Yoshi's doll, a combination of a jian and fan which
are connected with an extending chain. Both the fan and sword have separate personalities. The jian end has a male voice (although high pitched) and the fan end has a female voice.

Sawatari


- seems to be the oldest Bount, but this is merely a by-p
roduct of his eating habits. He has been consuming living souls for far longer than any other Bount, causing him to age. Like Udagawa, doing so was part of his secret plot to overthrow Kariya as leader of the Bounts. Sawatari is much the stereotypical "cranky old man," looking down on younger people.

Baura
- is Sawatari's doll. Unlike other dolls, it is constantly unsealed, though most of the time it remains below ground level aside from a chair-like protrustion from its back that Sawatari sits on casually. When it emerges, it bears a resemblance to a stonefish.

Hō and Ban


- are child-like twin Bounts who work together telepathic
ally and use their dolls (Hō controls Guhl and Ban controls Günther) to manipulate water

Guhl and Günther

- are Hō and Ban's twin dolls (Hō's doll is Guhl and Ban's doll is Günther). Both dolls take the form of bottlecaps. When released, the dolls can control water, making destroying them quite difficult since the bottlecaps are small targets within the large eyestalk-like shap
e they take.

Cain Nao


- is a young male Bount who was dropped off by Jin to be watched over by Koga many years ago. With
Koga, Cain learned to conjure his doll, Waineton (a large praying mantis-type creature), using an alchemy book written by Jin Kariya which held the appropriate rites. Unfortunately, the doll was too powerful for Cain to control and destroyed his body almost immediately after he absorbed it into himself.


The Vizard:



- are a group of rogue shinigami in the manga series Bleach who have illegally acquired hollow powers.

Shinji Hirako

- is a character in the anime and manga series Bleach. Shinji is a vizard and acts as their recruiter. He is first introduced in chapter 183, overlooking a battle between Ichigo Kurosaki and a hollow. He makes his formal appearance in the next chapter, enrolling as a student at Ichigo's high school. In the anime, he has a short speaking appearance at the end of episode 109, shortly before
Ichigo returns from Soul Society a second time. His formal introduction is in the following episode.

Hiyori Sarugaki
- Introduced in chapter 189, Hiyori enjoys beating up Shinji and is especially hot-headed. She might be older than Shinji, but looks much younger. She has quite a bit of authority in the group. She took the longest to defeat her inner hollow out of all the current vizard, at 69 minutes, 2 seconds.

Hachigen Ushōda
- The physically largest vizard, Hachigen wears a tuxedo. He is usually referred to as Hacchi (ハッチ, sometimes translated as 'Hutch'), but his actual name is H
achigen. He seems to be a binding spells expert, since he is always the one in charge for making barriers and such for the vizard's use. He seems to also have powers similar to Orihime Inoue's, and he was the one who healed Tsubaki's injuries when Orihime's own powers were insufficient to do so.

Lisa Yadōmaru
- is a girl with glasses and long, braided, dark hair. She is dressed in a sailor fuku (as opposed to the more Western-style uniforms of Karakura High School students). She seems easily irritated and apparently likes to read erotic magazines. She appears to be ambidextrous, initia
lly wielding her zanpakutō with her left hand (like Ikkaku Madarame) then switching to her right during her fight with Ichigo.

Love

- is large man with sunglasses and a spiked afro who wears a jogging suit. He seems to be very laid back. He also likes to read Shōnen Jump and even some of Lisa's erotic manga. He and Rose seem to be close friends. His zanpakutō's hilt is in the shape of a heart.


Rose
- Rose is an effeminate man with long, wavy blond hair and a frilly shirt. He seems to be interested in music, as he spoke to Love about an artist's new single and has been se
en playing or tuning a guitar on several occasions. He was one of two vizard (the other being Mashiro) not shown to be doing anything except watching while Ichigo was subduing his inner hollow. Rose seems to be delighted that a person with powers similar to a vizard exists. He also appears to be one of the calmer and perhaps wiser ones amongst the group (though he becomes irritated whenever Love spoils a manga's story for him). His zanpakutō's hilt is in the shape of a diamond with curved edges.

Kensei Muguruma
- is a teenager with short, light grey hair and several piercings who wears a basketball jersey and cargo pants. He switches places with Lisa in chapter 219 to contain Ichigo. His zanpakutō after initial release is also very short, about the size of a survival knife. In unreleased form, however, it is a formal katana with a rectangular hilt.
Mashiro


- is a somewhat ditzy girl that wears a white bodysuit
and sunglasses in her green hair. She was strong enough to maintain hollow form for fifteen hours on her first attempt to control her hollow, which means she did not need to train like Ichigo.


The Arrancar:

is a hollow that has removed its mask and gained shinigami powers.

Ranks Of Arrancar:

The Espada
- are the top-ranked arrancar in Aizen's army. Each Espada member is chosen for their superior combat ability and then assigned a number from 1 to 10 that indicates their rank and relative power level, which is tattooed somewhere on their body.


The Números - They are assigned a two digit number at birth from 11 to 99 to indicate their age (Número 11 is the oldest, Número 99 is the youngest). They are regarded as combat specialists. The basic Número uniform consists of a white-collared jacket and robes held with a black sash.

Shawlong Qufang
- 11th arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's arra
ncar army.Shawlong has a long face, and black hair braided and usually hanging over his shoulder. What remains of his mask is on the top of his head, but a portion drops down covering part of his face.

Edorad Leones - is the 13th arrancar. Edorad appears to be a very large man, with long black hair; however, half of his head is shaved, revealing a tattoo that runs from his eyebrow all the way to the back of his head.

II Forte Grantz
- is the 15th arrancar. Il Forte is a sarc
astic, effeminate arrancar with long white hair which resembles Jūshirō Ukitake's. What remains of his hollow mask is on the top of his head, and looks like a broken helmet.
D-Roy
- D-Roy is the 16th arrancar. He is notable due to having been shown before the Soul Society arc of the story, when he helped the hollow Grand Fisher remove his mask.

Nakim - Nakim is a fat, silent arrancar. He only speaks once to answer a question before his death. The remains of his hollow mask cover the entire right side of his face. Nakim is killed by Rangiku Matsumoto during the second attack on Karakura town when she releases her limit and gives him multiple fatal
wounds.


Wonderwice Margera - is a small, thin, and somewhat child-like arrancar. He is blond, with lavender eyes, freckles, and buck teeth. Wonderwice looks somewhat like a younger Kisuke Urahara. His appearance is similar to that of the vizard Hiyori.

The Tres Cifras ("Privaron Espada") - are former E
spada who have lost their rank and are assigned a three-digit number. Being former Espada, they are far stronger than the normalNúmeros. Tres Cifras translates literally from Spanish as "three digits". As mentioned by Dordonii, these former 'naturally created' Espada were rendered obsolete after Aizen began artifically creating arrancar to meet his own standards.

Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio(103rd arrancar)
- is a Tres Cifras, demoted from his former rank as an Espada after Aizen acquired the Orb of Distortion. His hairstyle resembles a stereotypical portrayal of the Devil, complete with goatee and a pair of "horns" sticking up at the top, and the remains of his hollow mask are just a slab on his forehead with horns mirroring those in his hair.

Cirucci Thunderwitch(105th arrancar)
- is a female Privaron Espada who encountered Uryū Ishida in the Tres Cifras section of Hueco Mundo. She was once part
of the Espada, but was dropped and given a three-digit number after stronger arrancar were created. Her appearance is akin to the gothic lolita style of Japanese fashion. She gets quite bothered if an enemy attacks her while she is talking. The Exequias -are arrancar that are part of the execution division, apparently charged with dealing against intruders/rebels.

Others:


Grand Fisher
-A hollow that had evaded the shinigami for ove
r 50 years, Grand Fisher is the killer of Ichigo Kurosaki's mother, Masaki Kurosaki, and the first hollow that poses a real threat to Ichigo.Later he was turned into an imperfect arrancar, known as an "Arankal", by Iceringer, and is later used by Sōsuke Aizen as an experimental subject.

Demōra
- is a large arrancar with short dreadlocks and has abnormally long arms, and makes his debut in Hueco Mundo with Iceringer.

Arturo Plateado
- is an arrancar designed by Sega, in conjunc
tions with Tite Kubo, specifically for Bleach Wii: Shiraha Kirameku Rinbukyoku, and won't be seen in the manga or anime. Arturo looks very similar to Grimmjow in appearance, but with his hair slightly longer, snake-like eyes, and the remains of his Hollow mask on his right cheek of what appears to be the jaw, but is extended round the back of his head.[1] His hollow hole is located below the base of his neck, much like Ulquiorra.

Iceringer -An arrancar initially revealed in Chapter 25 and the beginning of Episode 8 alongside D-Roy and Grand Fisher, Iceringer's identity is revealed when he reap
pears in Hueco Mundo along with Demōra. He has a very bulky mask which resembles a bird's head, and only a small portion of his face is visible.


Nell Tu - is a female arrancar toddler who lives in the desert of Hueco Mundo with her adoptive hollow brothers Dondo Chakker, Pesshe, and their pet Bawabawa.

Lolly
- A teenage female arrancar who was ordered to bring Orihime to Aizen when he wanted to show her the hōgyoku. She seems loyal to Aizen, as shown by her anger at Aizen's interest in Orihime.

Menoly - A teenage female arrancar who was ordered to bring Orihime to Aizen when he wanted to show the hōgyoku. Menoly was reluctant to leave Aizen alone with Orihime, although she didn't seem as interested in Aizen's feelings towards Orihime as Lolly was.

Story:

Rui Xi (Ella) has just returned from America, having fallen "head over heels" for a boy named Zuo Yi Quan (Wu Chun) after seeing his high jump performance on television; she was very much inspired by him to lose weight. Later, she decides to find out all about him and get to be friends with the one she highly respects. The only problem is Quan goes to an ALL BOYS SCHOOL! After much persuasion of her family and gaining the help of her good friend, Rui Xi then disguises herself as a boy and goes to the high school Quan attends. Coincidently and perheps by fate, she is the same class and is also Quan's roommate! On her first day of school, she was late and bumped into someone on the way to class. In a hurry, she rushed off without apologizing. Much to her dismay, that guy was Quan. She wanted to be friends with Quan and was very straightforward about it but was "rejected" (he thought she was gay, so maybe too straightforward). Liking that Rui Xi is rather straightforward, Jin Xiu Yi (Jiro Wang), the school soccer star, befriends Rui Xi.

During a P.E. lesson, everyone was shocked to discover that R
ui Xi was a very fast runner, even breaking the school's record held by Xiu Yi. A jealous Xiu Yi challenges her to a soccer match. During the match, she faints after getting hit at the head by Xiu Yi's elbow when he finally snatched the ball from her. Quan comes to her rescue (and finds out that she is REALLY A GIRL but keeps it to himself) and he brings her to the school's doctor, Mei Tian, who is gay.
