slightly offbrand bleach aus:
1. âIchigo reincarnates as Kaienâ AU where Ichigo slingshots into the past and into Kaien so hard he turns the Shiba clan head into a ball of reishi. Then a clan member walks in and assumes Ichigo is Kaien suffering the effects of a hair-dye prank that also gave him amnesia. Welcome to Bleach: Fake It To Make It.
2. 'Ichigo is Kaien's reincarnation!' you all say, but none of you are thinking crazy enough. Ichigo is Shiba Miyako's Reincarnation AU.
3. Ichigoâs soul is a series of apartment complexes and stray spirits keep taking up residence in his mindscape. They donât even pay rent!!!
4. Ichigo sees a picture of Kaien before meeting his hollow, which leads to him incorrectly assuming heâs just got the ghost of Shiba Kaien in his head (aka ââIchigo is Kaienâs reincarnationâ except no he literally isnâtâ: a comedy of errors)
5. Ichigo may be good at math, but when he was given the equation of âdoctor fatherâ + âgrew up in a clinicâ, he somehow ended up at âI wanna be a morticianâ
6. âHey guys, welcome back to Karakura Ghostwatch episode 114. Today weâre cleaning a grave and then kicking that Don Kanonji guyâs ass for stealing my channel idea.â
7. Ichigo but heâs a 116 y/o grandpa and still human so the entirety of Bleach is just everyone waiting for this old man to die and become a shinigami. Except Grandpa Ichigo is still the same little shit and refuses to drop dead.
8. Isshin did his best to hide any and all things related to the shinigami from his children. He does not expect the Shiba penchant for fireworks to make a raging comeback. (Zangetsu is a Gun AU)
9. Let it be known that neither Urahara nor Aizen were responsible for half the shit that happened in Karakura. The town is only Like That because of one particularly cursed river. (âThe Sanzu river runs straight through Karakuraâ AU)
10. Ichigo can only see souls, no shinigami powers, no Quincy powers, nothing, zilch, nada. He still fights hollows anyway, because Zangetsu is an all-powerful, sentient, cursed sword. (or: What if Excalibur decided its master would be Steve from accounting?)
