If we use a nine-square Soul Society as a benchmark...
The pure nine-square grid stance is chaotic goodness. This stance doesn't care about rules because the rules of Soul Society are full of flaws and clearly outdated, barely surviving.
In this state, despite this error, Ichigo Kurosaki remains a lawful neutral, insisting on maintaining the existence of Soul Society believing it to be the only correct one. This in itself is truly beyond reproach.
Perhaps it's because he's a living person, but Ichigo Kurosaki has been to Rukongai, both in the original story and in real life. He knows what life is like Rukongai, but he doesn't care, because it's none of his business.
Ichigo Kurosaki's friends weren't actually from Soul Society, but from the Seireitei. None of the people he knew were of low status or lived in poverty, so he simply ignored them all.
He was concerned about Sado's plight but indifferent to the oppression suffered by the unfamiliar residents of Rukongai. However, the Soul Society had bestowed upon Ichigo Kurosaki the title of Hero of Soul Society, and Jun believed that this position and title were not something that could be obtained solely by those who served the Seireitei.
Therefore, Jun has embarked on her current path and completely disagrees with Ichigo Kurosaki. The reason Jun disagrees with Ichigo Kurosaki is actually very simple: she doesn't know Ichigo Kurosaki's purpose.
That's right! Purpose! Ichigo Kurosaki is less of a protagonist in Soul Reaper and more of an object. He lacks the clear purpose and dreams of other protagonists, like Luffy wanting to be the Pirate King or Naruto wanting to be the Hokage. Ichigo? He doesn't.
What Jun needs to do now is to make Ichigo think about these things. Ichigo is a good person, even a pushover. He's willing to risk his life time and time again for another world for which he has no connection, but that's not what Jun wants to see.
Because this is despicable, the despicable nature of Soul Society. The goal is simply to awaken Ichigo's desires, to stop him from being a foolish child. Ichigo Kurosaki should reap the rewards commensurate with his hard work, and the first step is to teach him to think proactively.
Then the focus shifts back to Ichigo is still sitting in the Training Ground. Zangetsu has been tossed aside, and his Mod Soul has put away his phone but hasn't left.
Why are you so downcast?
Ichigo looked up at the Mod Soul, "Hey, am I really that useless?"
What kind of answer would you like to hear?
"Real"
The truth is, it's not as useless as it seems.
"Oh? Is that so?" Ichigo was truly withdrawn now.
"Didn't you save Rukia?"
"I only agreed because of White, otherwise I couldn't beat Byakuya, that's right! Without White, I couldn't beat Byakuya!"
But you won.
"That was White win! I didn't win."
"I don't really understand, I don't have what you're talking about in my knowledge base, but if that's the case, why don't you just go and defeat White?"
Ichigo stared blankly at the Mod Soul, scratching his head. "Yeah, I just need to beat White. Why didn't I think of that before? But I can't beat White."
"He's better than you?"
"Ah, he's better than me."
"That's very strange. Why would your power be stronger than yours? I thought the voice I heard earlier was Mizuno-san's. He said your power has a threshold, and you haven't reached that threshold at all. And that White, at most, can only exert the power of your threshold, right? It's impossible for him to be stronger, because this is your body, your soul, your power."
Ichigo was suddenly struck by a sudden realization. He reached for Zangetsu, but Mod Soul grabbed his arm. Ichigo was completely bewildered. "What are you doing?"
"That's where you're useless. Why can't you understand these things?"
"Uh," Ichigo thought to himself, "Yeah, why can't I understand?"
"Although I'm just a programmed sequence of events, let me use my knowledge to help you deduce what's going on. What do you think?"
"Alright! Come on! You tell me!" Ichigo made up his mind, pulling Mod Soul down to sit on the ground. "Come on!"
Ichigo is motivated again now; he'll do anything as long as someone helps him think.
Mod Soul nodded and asked, "What were you thinking when you hung up the phone?"
"I..." Ichigo, racking his brains. It wasn't that he was shy, because the person in front of him was his Mod Soul, and he wouldn't tell anyone else. "Tsk~, what I was thinking... what was I thinking again? I wasn't thinking anything! Yes, I wasn't thinking anything!"
"Uh," now it was Mod Soul's turn to be dumbfounded. "You were scolded like that, you were called a piece of trash, a useless person, and you didn't think about anything?"
"Uh, what should I think about?"
The Mod Soul pointed at itself, bewildered, "Do you need to ask me what you're thinking?"
"Ah~ right, it's my brain, that makes sense," Ichigo finally realized that his brain was his own, and he didn't need anyone else to think for him. "It's my brain, what should my brain be thinking about? Hmmmm..."
"What you up to?"
"Yes! I want to do what I want to do, I want to beat White, yes! I want to beat White!" Ichigo sat Ichigo, arms on his knees, hands supporting his chin, truly racking his brains. "I want to beat White! How can I beat him?"
"Oh!! I should be thinking about this, right! Yes, yes! How do I beat White? How do I beat White? His power is my threshold, so I should reach my threshold first, yes! I should reach my threshold."
"Then how do I reach the threshold?"
"This isn't something you can simply agree on; it's something you have to work hard to achieve."
"Yes! I'll work hard!" Ichigo stood up, picked up his Zangetsu, and shouted, "I'll work hard!!"
Ichigo turned his head and said, "Hey, if I reach that threshold, will I be able to beat White? Maybe not, but they said on the phone that the threshold is something I was born with, and whether I can surpass it is uncertain. Pah! I'll definitely surpass that threshold! Once I surpass that threshold, I can beat White! Haha!! I can beat that guy!! Haha!"
"Haha!! I found the answer!! My problem is solved! I'm not afraid of training anymore! Oh~!"
Seeing Ichigo's renewed spirits and high morale, Mod Soul was completely dumbfounded. He'd just been called brainless and looked so dejected, and now he could just recover from this one thought?
Is it fair to say he's a brainless character? This is just too real.
Shinji Hirako, Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi, Hachigen Ushōda, and the others finally got busy. Now that Ichigo had begun his training, they would serve as his sparring partners.
Hirako also has a Spiritual Power detector here, which can probe Ichigo's data. Ichigo Kurosaki's data is already quite Kongbu.
Spiritual Pool 1497, Reiatsu 893, Spiritual Reach 324, Spiritual Flow 739, Spiritual Sensitivity 273
This data is already quite Kongbu, and then this guy even did further data testing after understanding it.
Spiritual Pool 2348, Reiatsu 1322, Spiritual Reach 109, Spiritual Flow 1588, Spiritual Sensitivity 307
And after putting on the Visored, this number increased again.
Spiritual Pool 2739, Reiatsu 1939, Spiritual Reach 74, Spiritual Flow 2135, Spiritual Sensitivity 204
The release of Tensa Zangetsu greatly increased the Spiritual Flow, so the increase in Reiatsu is considered normal, as it only increased by about half; most releases reach this level.
However, the increase in Spiritual Flow more than doubled, which is truly amazing. After Ichigo understood what these numbers represented, and with his mind finally able to think, he realized that White's fighting style was indeed the most suitable for him.
After employing White's fighting style, he injured Shinji Hirako for the first time. However, just as Ichigo was overjoyed, Hirako activated his Shikai ability and instantly defeated Ichigo.
"You think you can beat me? You'd better train for a few more months," Hirako felt genuinely frustrated, wanting to boast but unable to bring himself to do so, because Ichigo's progress was simply Kongbu.
Just one week later, Ichigo's highest Reiatsu reached 2046, and his highest Spiritual Flow reached 2345. One week! Seven days! This level of progress is Kongbu, utterly ridiculous!
Putting aside the comical aspect, it was indeed Kongbu. Half a month later, Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi was no longer able to provide Ichigo with special training, as that could easily escalate into a death match. Therefore, he dispatched other junior members of the Visored to fight Ichigo's Shikai using their Ichigo.
This was the only way he could spar with Ichigo. And at this point, Ichigo finally had a clear understanding of his own strength; using his Shikai to fight Ichigo was itself proof of his power.
While Ichigo was training, his Mod Soul was attending school in his place. This was naturally noticed by his three friends, who, after finding out what was happening from Ichigo, also made their own phone calls.
Soon, Orihime and Sado were also arranged to attend school in place of their Mod Soul, and the two of them went to the Fullbring Organization for training. Uryū, on the other hand, returned home and ran into his biological father, Ryūken Ishida.
"Come with me first," Longxian said. The relationship between Ryūken and Uryū remained strained, mainly because Ryūken didn't quite understand how a father should educate his son. However, Uryū was growing up quite well, meaning Ryūken's parenting wasn't entirely bad.
Uryū had gotten used to this father-son relationship. After a few Hirenkyaku from Ryūken, they arrived at the Hilltop Park where Rukia had first appeared and then disappeared in this timeline.
How many Hollows and Soul Reaper are there in the city now?
Uryū closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, but suddenly he bent over sharply, and a Spiritual Power arrow flew past where his head had been. Uryū looked at Ryūken in shock, and Ryūken pushed up his glasses, "Who told you to close your eyes and relax your guard when you're sensing something?"
"Sorry"
Let's continue.
"Yes," that's the biggest difference between Uryū and Ichigo. If it were Ichigo, he would argue with Ryūken, "Didn't you tell me to sense it? Blah blah blah!" Uryū wouldn't do that, because Uryū knows that what he did just now was wrong.
There are three Hollows and two Soul Reaper.
"Kill the void, from here."
Uryū was dumbfounded, because the three Hollows were all within his maximum sensing range, several kilometers away. Of course, Uryū could kill them, but it would require an extremely powerful skill. However, even a single shot from a powerful skill would obliterate a residential area.
What should we do?
"Hmm~", Ryūken was quite satisfied with his son. He knew when to advance and retreat, was reasonable, and had a clear understanding of himself. Ryūken had observed Ichigo Kurosaki, and if his son were Ichigo Kurosaki, Ryūken felt he would rather have another child.
Thus, Uryū witnessed for the first time in his life the power of his father as a Quincy. Ryūken flicked his ring, and a giant Spiritual Power bow appeared in Ryūken hand.
Then, Ryūken shot three beams of Spiritual Power into the sky, forming three discs in the air. Finally, three more beams of Spiritual Power towards the discs, and the arrows, deflected by the discs, instantly pierced through the three Hollows. Due to the great distance and the speed of the arrows, the Hollows couldn't react in time. Meanwhile, the Soul Reaper was still on his way.
Ryūken has already sheathed his bow. "Have you learned it?"
"I understand, but I need to practice."
"Then go practice. I heard you used the ability to Spiritual Power Erasure?"
"Yes"
Ryūken sighed, "That girl treated you?"
"You know about Silver Blood?"
However, Ryūken did not answer him and vanished instantly; Uryū couldn't even detect any trace of Ryūken.
"So you're this strong?" Uryū felt a strange mix of emotions.
