MY favourite bleach head canons in no particular order

1. the idea that all shinigami in gigai give off uncanny valley vibes

Basically like Isshin, whose not quite human but not quite shinigami, meets some of Ichigo’s friends when he was a kid like Tatsuki and she obviously met his mom before and she was nice so she wasn’t expecting much from his dad and then she meets him and her first reaction is ‘what the fuck is that???’

The kurosaki kids, who have grown up with their dad and have pretty high levels of reiatsu, don’t actually realize this while their human friends just instinctually avoid Isshin ‘cause they feel like something’s off about him

of course over time and with extended exposure to Ichigo’s reiatsu, the weirdness kinda fades away but anyone outside of Ichigo’s circle generally avoids all the shinigami that come to Karakura in gigai for those reasons

2. all animals hate shinigami except cats and crows

literally for no reason besides the fact that I like them

I love the idea of shinji with his creepy ass smile just perched on top of a telephone pole and if he stays still long enough, crows will start sitting on him XD

I also have cats that I love and I love the idea of Ichigo just chilling on his bed with an orange cat and doing the purring thing with it while he’s sleeping

And then when he goes to a pet store with Rukia because she wants to see bunnies, all the animals go ballistic anf they get kicked out XD

3. the visored + ichigo with animalistic traits

laying down on hot things because it feels nice on their skin and soothes something in their lizard brains

eyes that flash hollow yellow when they feel intense emotion (inspired the scene in the anime where Aizen says that hollowification is faster when agitated so emotions heavily affect their appearance

I like the idea that they get very tactile with people they care about (not in a romantic way) and they get into little wrestling matches over stupid stuff because that’s they’re idea of playing and bonding

Shinji gives cat vibes, you can’t even tell me he doesn’t just look at him. When cats make eye contact as they push something off the table- that’s him

I also really like the idea of the hollowification affecting their zanpakuto. Given that Ichigo was pretty much born with his hollow, he doesn’t notice the different the way the Visored do 

Shinji’s whole standing upside down and reversing the gravity on himself, I like the idea that it came after his hollowification and if he wishes he can do it to others

Idk if there’s any jjk manga readers her but you know that attack kenjaku has where he makes you feel like you’re falling but you’re not really? He does it to Yuji a few times when he’s fighting mahito and I love the idea of Shinji having that ability, just completely fucking up their sense of reality and direction

I haven’t thought of the other visored abilities but from my other AU that I will never write, I mentioned that Kaien was hollowified as well so I love the idea of him just being completely obsessed with everything water related and having an affinity for any water type kido and being able to control minor amounts of water without actually drawing Nejibana and being able to breath under water

4. all zanpakuto spirits do commentary in their weilders head

but only ppl like Ichigo and Toushiro who have incredibly powerful spirits that they can literally talk to in the middle of a fight can actually hear

Like Zabimaru, haineko, and all the other zanpakuto are just constantly making fun or nitpicking the way their weilder uses them

But Ichigo is the only one who has to suffer through Zangetsu (Shiro) cackling in his head while Toushiro gets useful feedback and Ichigo’s just completely done with him

a sadder headcanon: all zanpakuto spirits talk to their weilders regularly however, the Visored because of their own fear of their hollowification have estranged themselves from their zanpakuto spirits and like Shiro is hostile with Ichigo in canon, the others are like ten times worse

5. If Ichigo every actually seals his zanpakuto, he’d be incredibly sensitive to reiatsu (I forgot to add this one the first time and I didn’t wanna make another post XD)

I personally love this little explanation of Ichigo’s powers and you know how Ichigo is just really shitty at sensing reiatsu at the beginning? Shinji commented on it a couple times and seemed pretty confused by it.

I think that part of the reason why he’s so bad at it-- especially after the SS arc ‘cause remember he was actually pretty good at sensing back then-- is because after he achieved Bankai, Hollow Zangetsu was in control rather than OMZ and with that switch in power came a significant uptick in his own reiatsu to the point where Ichigo actually feels like he’s being crushed by his own power and he can feel how close Shiro is for the first time and he’s actually scared of his own power

Hiyori even comments about how he’s scared of his own bankai because the distance between him and Shiro decreases everytime he gets stronger since Shiro gets stronger with him

Anyways, we’re not devolving into an analysis about Ichigo and Shiro but eventually Ichigo learns how to sense things properly even with his own reiatsu

So when he finally seals Zangetsu and he’s no longer covered by his own power because it’s finally sealed, he’s gonna be sensing things so much stronger and get sensory overload only it’s ✨reiatsu sensitivity✨

6. Souls in the Society age until they find an appearance both they and their reiatsu level is comfortable with (Another one because I’m an idiot and I forgot)

Excluding Toushiro’s weird case of appearanc shifting but I guess that could be attributed to his bankai’s weirdness that I don’t know much about

I don’t think we’ve gotten on actual explanation on how souls age so I’ve decided to apply this hc

Basically the reason why ppl like Unohana, who looks incredibly similar to herself from a thousand years ago, the only difference being how much less sinister she looks and how calm she looks

Plus, all the characters from the Turn back the pendulm arc barely changing over a hundred years is wild

I initially thought of it as comparing every decade a soul lives to ever year a human lives but that didn’t feel right so I chose this

Based off White Zangetsu's BLEACH BRAVE SOULS Spirit Society Demon Form. And the initial rough concept of BLEACH's HELLverse. (I don't support the resurrect any important character nonsense) 

But anyhow, Zangetsu marched into Hell and declared himself Overlord. If there was a previous ruler, they are no more. If Hell's guards attacked him before, then they now serve him. It is said his spiritual power burns as hot as the sun.

He grew more horns that twisted in different ways. The chains on his arms aren't a declaration that he's a prisoner. He willingly wrapped them around his garbs. The gold-encrusted bones and skulls help identify him as ruler, and the chains, apart from those that are HIGHLY powerful, can act as unbreakable whips and shields. He loves to swing them around like weapons. They are also a security feature. They tie him to Hell's heart, and thus, if his body ever perishes, he is auto-rebirthed into the lava pools to take revenge. 

Perhaps he will use this newfound power to tip the scales of the realms. To declare war on Squad Zero in return for Ichigo's freedom. Or perhaps, Ichigo's well-being is of no consequence. Perhaps Zangetsu is just pleased to be wild and free.

Saiki COULD hear Ichigo’s thoughts, but he can’t Telepathy Talk cuz Shiro immediately notices the attempt and just starts his OWN Psychic Attack (including screaming), so Saiki has to pull out HARD. Black-out dizzy for a bit there, and re-focus so now he’s freaking out:

He’ll have to actually TALK like normal people. Flap his lips. Do audio.

With no specialized language (sign language), he’ll instead have to act like a crossing guard to communicate. Which he thinks is fucking embarrassing!

You didn't lose! Ichi said it himself. "I'm fighting with Zangetsu." It was two on one.

I like the prospect of how early Hollow Zangetsu and Ichigo's relationship was easily turned and viewed as demonic possession. I honestly kinda miss those kinds of horror takes on the relationship, and mourn the fact that there's barely any crumbs of it even now.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

HE'S BAAACK

I needed to get the energy out of my system, now time to rant

His entrance is so cool and honestly I can't remember this scene in the anime, nor their being any mention of asauchi before tybw but apparently there was so that's cool

Also is this like a reference to 'The Blade is Me' chapter/volume whatever???

Also the fact that Shiro went from calling Ichigo partner to king... I'm crying

Anyways, Shiro really taught Ichigo all this shit and Ichigo never realized that Shiro was teaching him

damn that hits right in the feels "If you opened your heart to him a little... he'd become even stronger" 'cause later on Ichigo starts hating Shiro and closes his heart to him, resulting in the whole Visored mess

Anyways this whole thing hits different when you know the truth :(
