Ichigo Kurosaki is the main character in the story of Bleach . He is a Substitute Shinigami who always gets stronger from time to time. Along with his journey, he always shows different transformations with new powers that are much stronger than the previous state.
Well, in this article, we wants to review Ichigo's most powerful transformations throughout the story. Come on, let's discuss together!
10. Shikai (Basic Form)

This transformation is Ichigo's first form of change when he became a Substitute Shinigami. Like the other shinigami, he is dressed all in black and is tasked with defeating life-threatening Hollows in the human world.
In this form, Ichigo uses Zanpakuto named Zangetsu which is giant and crescent-shaped. Ichigo looks very tough in this form and he can adapt quickly in the early days of his shinigami career.
9. Fullbring
After going through a very fierce battle against Aizen, Ichigo has put all his strength until he loses the power of the shinigami that is in him. It was then, he met the Fullbringers and he began to practice that ability.
Ichigo turned into a Fullbringer using his Shinigami Badge. Ichigo's Fullbring power was more similar to a Hollow than a Shinigami. However, Ichigo's appearance in Fullbringer form looks very cool.
8. Bankai (Basic Form)

After going through a very heavy training phase in a short time, Ichigo managed to awaken his Bankai powers. This transformation of course increases Ichigo's strength drastically.
Ichigo's Bankai is also very unique because his Zangetsu sword shrinks into a normal-sized black sword. Even so, Ichigo's Bankai attack power is terrifying. Ichigo uses this transformation for the first time when he is fighting Byakuya.

7. Shikai (Rebuild)
After Ichigo failed to defeat Ywach and his Bankai is destroyed by Ywach, Ichigo went to the Royal Realm and met Oetsu Nimaiya. There, Nimaiya taught Ichigo how to communicate with Zangetsu. Ichigo at that time found out new facts about the power of Hollows and Quincy inside him.
Nimaiya then forged a new Zanpakuto for Ichigo. Thanks to that, Ichigo has two new Zangetsu swords. With the two swords, Ichigo can issue a double attack called Getsuga Juujisho with a more powerful and terrible effect.
6. Hell Form

Hell Form is Ichigo's exclusive form shown in the Hell Verse movie. At that time, Ichigo had to go to hell to save his sister who was held hostage by the inhabitants of hell named Kokuto.
In the final battle against Kokuto, Ichigo gets a new power from the guardian of hell known as Kushanada. Ichigo in this form is seen wearing armor with a skull ornament. He can use the power of hell, such as chaining enemies in hell to break the chains of the other inhabitants of hell.
5. Visored

Visored is the group of Shinigami who have the power of Hollow in their bodies. The members of the Visored are able to combine the power of Shinigami and Hollow in fighting so that their strength becomes terrible.
Along with the other Visored members, Ichigo trained to master his Hollow powers so he can become stronger. With the power of the Visored, Ichigo can match the strength of the members of the Espada and he even manages to defeat powerful Espada, such as Grimmjow.

4. Full Hollow

The Hollow power within Ichigo is a difficult thing to control. This power is often out of control when Ichigo is in a critical situation of despair so that he accidentally turns into a Hollow slowly.
Ichigo had shown his Full Hollow form in various moments. For example, he briefly showed it while training with other Visoreds. In addition, he had time to show the full power of his Hollow when dealing with Muramasa and Ouko in anime. Although almost the same, Ichigo's Full Hollow form has a difference with Vasto Lorde's form.
3. Bankai (Rebuild Form)
After Ichigo got two new swords, Ichigo's Bankai's power is of course much stronger from his previous form. When using Bankai, Ichigo will combine his two swords into one large sword equipped with a chain.
In addition, Ichigo's new Bankai appearance also looks more badass and much stronger. In this form, Ichigo is seen to have horns on the left side with glowing yellow eyes and two black stripes on the left side of his face. Ichigo's form on this one is like a reflection of the Tensa Zangetsu he had fought while using Jinzen.
2. Vasto Lorde
In the second place, there's Vasto Lorde form that belong to strongest Ichigo's form. Ichigo used to show this form when he fought against Ulquiorra. At that time, Ichigo had died in battle until he re-awakened as a Hollow with the Vasto Lorde class.
Ichigo's Vasto Lorde power was brutal and terrifying. In this form, Ichigo was able to reverse the battle situation so that he could defeat Ulqiorra and saved his precious comrades. What is clear, this form is very cool and badass.
1. Final Getsuga Tensho
Perhaps there is no need to argue, Final Getsuga Tenshou is the most powerful and terrifying form Ichigo has ever shown. This form is mastered by Ichigo after he trained with his father in the Dangai to defeat the overpowered Aizen.
Ichigo's change after going through the training was very significant. In addition, his fighting ability has increased so drastically that he could deal a fatal blow to Aizen. However, this transformation has a very big risk because Ichigo had lost his Shinigami power after using Final Getsuga Tensho.
