16 parts Complete For as long as Ichigo could remember, he's been able hear a voice that only he could hear. In addition to that, he was able to see the dearly departed and odd mask-wearing creatures the voice called 'Hollows'. This voice has also been one of his few friends and even gives him a strange nickname: 'King'. But Ichigo doesn't mind the nickname.
If there was one thing Zangetsu hated above all else, it was humans. Well, the ones that hurt Ichigo. And that was nearly all of them. Sooo..... yeah, his hit list had nearly everyone in Karakura on it (Ichigo's family, Tatsuki, and Keigo were exceptions). So when the golden opportunity for getting Ichigo stronger presents itself, Zangetsu can't help but take it.
While Ichigo may have started as the punching bag of all the black-hearted, snot-nosed brats in Karakura, they'll quickly learn why you bow to a King.
