[ MEMORY 1. Rewind all the way back to the very first chapter of Bleach. Start here and go all the way to here. My apologies for the length.
TL;DR VERSION: His family is attacked by a hollow, Rukia throws herself at it to protect Ichigo, then to save them both, she shoves her sword through his chest to give him her shinigami powers. ]
[ MEMORY 2. Rewind some more. Insert memories of his mother, Masaki. Showing up at karate class for the first time (is that a little Tatsuki I see?), picnicing with her, Isshin, and an infant Karin and Yuzu, her smoothing a band-aid on his knee and wiping away his tears. The two of them walking home together in the rain--
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
TL;DR VERSION: Mommy died. ]
[ AND FINALLY. Fast forward. Pain pain pain, then this lovely view. "This... what is this place--?"
And stop. ]
Shit. Shit. How the fuck do you get these things off?!
