Bleach + One Piece = Ichiro

What's with all the moody, spiky-haired swordsmen with hardass attitudes lately? Inspired by a converation on my DA journal, here's just a little fandom fun by request. Ichigo ('Bleach') attempting Zoro's ('One Piece') infamous three-sword technique.

For those unfamiliar with the series, that's Rukia on the Left-hand side. She's a Soul Reaper and something like Ichigo's Companion/Instructor/Straight Man.

Orihime is the girl on the right and Ichigo's self-proclaimed #1 fangirl. She also attends his school.

Ichigo spends some of his life dead these days and battling huge, malicious, hungry ghosts in Japan. I can only imagine it gets in the way of his homework a little bit.

Bleach is a great series. Action-packed with awesome characters, intriguing story features, huge, greusome monsters, and a hell of alot of style. Viz has translated the manga into graphic novels which should be available on Amazon. Check it out! (Especially if you're a Shaman King fan.)

Also, Bleach is now being released in Japan in anime format. I've seen the preview and greatly look forward to the series! I'll post info on sub Torrents later
