Ichigo ends up facing off against Muramasa, while Byakuya Kuchiki takes on Koga.
#ONE PIECE FILLER PERCENTAGE FREE#
Koga was imprisoned for attempting to rebel against the Soul Society, and Muramasa staged the new rebellion in an attempt to free his master. It turns out that the mastermind behind the plot is Koga Kuchiki, a relative by marriage of Rukia and Byakuya, who was Muramasa's wielder. Ichigo's Zangetsu is one of the few exceptions, being that they were in the Human World when the rebellion commenced.

The mysterious Muramasa, later revealed to be a Zanpakuto spirit himself, manages to get most of Soul Society's Zanpakuto to rebel against their masters. Next up is the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales arc, which ends with two great battles, but is hampered by everything leading up to that point. Both of these traits are followed, though perhaps not as well, in the New Captain Shusuke Amagai arc. The Bount arc encompasses the height of anime filler: a captivating original story, a large cast of fleshed-out characters, and a creative and original power system.

Also aiding Kariya is a former Soul Reaper, Maki Ichinose, who seeks revenge against Kenpachi Zaraki. Most of the Bounts are multifaceted and genuinely interesting characters, including their de facto leader Jin Kariya, who controls wind, and his associate Go Koga, who lacks his Kariya's abject cruelty but has his own complex reasons for attacking Soul Society. This has confirmed parallels to the Zanpakuto used by Soul Reapers, but differs enough in practice that it's a fresh concept. Each of them controls a sentient being called a Doll, which essentially acts as their partner and weapon. Like vampires, the Bounts are immortal as a result of consuming souls. The first major filler arc in Bleach covers beings known as the Bounts, essentially the Bleach universe's take on vampires.
