Bleach The Movie: Memories of Nobody [DVD]

As the first of the three Bleach feature films opens, Ichigo and Rukia are having a typical squabble--with Kon-butting in--when hordes of "Blanks" appear: weird white creatures that look vaguely like snowmen with pink caps.

Senna, a Soul Reaper neither of them recognize, bursts into view and destroys the creatures.

Although he initially finds her irritating, Ichigo grows fond of this strange girl, who leads him into a deadly conflict with a rebellious clan banished from the Soul Society a century earlier.

Ganryu, the leader of the clan, recognizes Senna as a Shinenju, an entity composed of the memories of thousands of lost souls.

He plans to use her latent power to destroy both the Soul Society and the World of the Living.

Ichigo stops him with the assistance of the Soul Reaper Captains and Lieutenants.

Memories of Nobody (2006) intensifies the main theme of the Bleach series: Ichigo's desire to protect those he cares about.
