8 Tatsuki Arisawa

Ichigo's childhood friend

• Anime Debut: Shinigami's work (Episode 2 of Whitening)

At the beginning of the course Whitening, Tatsuki Arisawa is one of the many characters from Ichigo's school that plays a major role. She is Ichigo's childhood friend who helped him when he lost his mother, serving as his support system for the longest time.

Arisawa is also a martial arts expert and Ichigo used to train with her from time to time. It may be an exaggeration to say that Ichigo's close combat skills were enhanced by this karate training, but it certainly played a role in helping Ichigo accept the battle-heavy role of being a Shinigami.

7 Don Kanonji

A silly environment

• Anime Debut: Casual Assault Trip into the Soul Realm! (Episode 10 of Whitening)

Whitening has its fair share of comedic characters that are a joy to interact with as well Don Kanonji is no exception here. This spirit medium lives a lie, but puts on such a convincing facade that the world is led to believe that he knows his stuff when it comes to spirits.

Of course, fans of the series and Ichigo himself quickly realize that this man has no idea what he's talking about and doesn't know much about spirits at all. However, his appearance was so memorable that Kanonji reappeared several times after his appearance in a minor role, contributing to many of the lighter and more comedic moments in Whitening.

6 Hanataro Yamada

Despite being a Shinigami, Yamada has no fighting skills

• Anime Debut: Unleash the death blow! (Episode 27 of Whitening)

Most of the shinigami in the Whitening who got decent screen time are usually considered adepts in battle. However, Yamada is an exception here, this 4th Division member instead excelling at kido healing.

This makes him useful in a support role, even if he contributes nothing to the series' many bombastic battles. Fortunately, his lovable nature ensures that Yamada is a fun character to watch on screen, especially since he doesn't overstay his welcome.

5 Ryuken Ishida

Father of Uryu Ishida

• Anime Debut: Reopening the Substitute Business! The terrifying transfer student (Episode 110 of Whitening)

For someone who was dubbed The Last Quincy before the arrival of Yhwach and his underlings, it's fascinating that Ryuken did not participate in any battles in the series. He is Uryu's father, and far from being a model parent, some of his actions traumatize his son.

However, he is still deeply attached to his family, which can be seen when he begs Urahara to save Masaki when she is on the verge of death. Despite helping Uryu gain his powers and become a competent Quincy again, this father figure is not a fighter and actively despises his Quincy past.

4 The king of the soul

Despite being one of the strongest characters in Bleach, the Soul King doesn't fight at all

• Anime Debut: “Shooting Star” Project (ZERO MIX) (Episode 8 of Whitening: The Thousand Year Blood War)

King of the Soul he is one of the most powerful characters in the series, his strength being the only reason why the human world, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo maintain a perfect balance. This is extremely impressive and a huge reason why so many fans consider the King of Soul to be a force to be reckoned with.

However, during WhiteningHe ran, this legendary figure became nothing more than a vessel meant to fulfill that purpose and nothing more. This is why the Soul King can do nothing to protect himself when Yhwach arrives to kill him and absorb his powers.

3 Con

A mod soul who pretends to be Ichigo when busy in soul society

• Anime Debut: Fight to the death! Ichigo vs. Ichigo (Episode 6 of Whitening)

A mod soul that is meant to take Ichigo's place when the replacement Shinigami is busy, Con is a hilarious character who makes a huge splash when introduced. He wastes no time in ruining Ichigo's social life after taking his looks and ruining his image at school.

Fortunately, Ichigo and Kon are able to cooperate as Mod Soul becomes his official proxy. Kon is a hilarious character who doesn't contribute to any battles, but still helps the heroes in his own way.

2 Kukkapuro

An Arrancar puppy that is as adorable as they come

• Anime Debut: Connected hearts! Left fist ready for death! (Episode 267 of Whitening)

Despite being an Arrancar, there's no denying that Kukkapuro he is one of the cutest characters in the series. Even as a Hollow, this adorable pup is so likable that even someone as brutal and violent as Yammy Llargo develops a soft spot for him.

He attaches himself to this Espada and mourns his death as well, causing Yammy to wonder why this cub loved him so much despite showing nothing but hatred towards him. Kukkapuro may not have the most prominent role in the series, but he makes a notable impact regardless, even if he doesn't have the power to fight anything bigger than himself.

1 Karin Kurosaki

Ichigo's fiery sister

• Anime Debut: The day I became a Shinigami (Episode 1 of Whitening)

Ichigo's family may seem dysfunctional at first glance, but it's clear that there is a lot of love shared between everyone in the Kurosaki household. Karin No exception here, this younger sister loving Ichigo in her own way, even if she gets into fights every now and then.

Ichigo saves her from the Grand Fischer during his first adventures as a substitute Shinigami. However, she is far from helpless and is able to take care of herself and her family, even if she does not boast any skills that would be useful in battle.
