Ikkaku Madarame (斑目 一角, Madarame Ikkaku) is the lieutenant and former 3rd Seat officer in the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, under Captain Kenpachi Zaraki.

Appearance[]

Ikkaku is a tall, lean-built man. He is bald, a fact made fun of by many people, especially 11th Division Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi, who calls him "cue ball", "chrome dome", or "pachinko-head" (as a result of her fondness for giving people nicknames or when he questions her direction skills). Ikkaku's bald scalp is very reflective while under the sun, causing the members of the 8th and 11th Divisions to mistake it for a full moon at one point, much to his chagrin. His eyes each have a small red marking at the outer corner. Ikkaku has a scar, which he gained while fighting Ichigo Kurosaki during the Ryoka Invasion, running down the left side of his chest.[2] He wears the standard Shinigami shihakushō, with the exception of no tabi with his sandals. Seventeen months after Aizen's defeat, Ikkaku sports a gold-plated shoulder plate on his right arm with the kanji for dragon (龍) printed on it.[3][4] Ten years after the defeat of Yhwach, as a lieutenant, Ikkaku now wears a lieutenant's badge on his left arm.[5]

Personality[]

Ikkaku is violent, fight-loving, and rude, which has been noted by Tetsuzaemon Iba, among others. He is also quite stubborn and cocky at times. He loves fighting so much, he is unwilling to travel anywhere without a sword, resorting to carrying a wooden one when posing as a student at Karakura High School. Ikkaku is very self-conscious about his baldness, often insisting he is not bald, but that his head is "shaven", and will threaten anyone who points this out.

Ikkaku considers fighting fun, and tries to get as much fun as he can, even taking deadly risks to drag out fights for as long as possible. He limits his skills in order to make fights last longer, using his Bankai, or even his Shikai, as a last resort against his opponents. Ikkaku constantly smiles when engaging in a fight with a formidable opponent. Ikkaku considers the only honorable battles to be those fought one-on-one. Even the threat of death is not a reason to ignore this fact, for he believes the winner is only determined when the other dies.

Ikkaku has a sense of loyalty to Zaraki; refusing to take the position as captain of either the 3rd, 5th, or 9th Divisions, when Aizen and his cohorts defected from Soul Society, wishing to remain under Zaraki's command until he dies.[6] At the same time, this desire also makes him rather careless and stubborn. Fearing he will be forcibly promoted to another division if others learn of his Banaki, he refused to use it against the Arrancar Choe Neng Poww, to which he lost badly.[7][8] He considers surviving an otherwise lost battle good luck, which his captain taught him, and carries a blood-clotting ointment in the hilt of his Zanpakutō.

History[]

At some point in Ikkaku's history, he met Yumichika Ayasegawa while traveling the streets of Rukongai, and the two became friends. The two would frequently go from village to village, looking for opponents for Ikkaku to face in combat.

Ep119KenpachiBeratesIkkaku

Ikkaku is defeated by Kenpachi Zaraki, and is told to become stronger.

They had an encounter with Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi before they entered Seireitei. Yachiru told him messing with Zaraki while he was in a good mood was a bad idea, but Ikkaku did not take the warning seriously. When face to face with Zaraki, he, becoming alarmed by his Reiatsu, was happy to finally have a real challenge. Zaraki attacked with enough force to crater the ground under Ikkaku, which somewhat alarmed Yumichika. Due to Zaraki's strength, Ikkaku, forced on the defensive, held off his relentless strikes. The two continued to battle, with Ikkaku trying to overwhelm Zaraki, though unable to wear him down, only succeeding in receiving wounds while Zaraki remained untouched by his blade. Stating he was having fun, Zaraki decided to finish Ikkaku with one strike, resulting in Ikkaku losing the fight.[9] As Ikkaku became mad Zaraki would just walk away without finishing him off, Zaraki, telling him he had no interest in weaklings who cannot fight, states he did not have any obligation to finish Ikkaku off. When Ikkaku, thinking he was toying with him, demanded Zaraki kill him, Zaraki, losing his patience, grabbed hold of Ikkaku. Asking why he was screaming for death if he loved to fight so much, Zaraki explained to him a philosophy to follow for people like them: only admit defeat after death, and when you survive, consider yourself lucky and only think about killing the man who failed to kill you. Smiling at him, Zaraki stated it was not like he went easy on him; he was just lucky to escape death. He said Ikkaku should live and come back to kill him. As Zaraki left, Ikkaku, asking him his name, was told he was Kenpachi from Zaraki.[10]

Afterwards, when he had rehabilitated from his wounds, Ikkaku, searching everywhere for Zaraki in order to challenge him, could never find him, until one day when Yumichika came to him with some news. He had heard Zaraki had beaten the captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 in a single blow, which made him the new captain of this division. Taken aback by this revelation, having seen protecting others as not really Zaraki's style, Ikkaku set out to find his old opponent.[9]

Ep119IkkakuYumichikaAssistKenpachi

Ikkaku serving under Zaraki during their first days in the 11th Division.

During an address to his division, Zaraki was greeted by Ikkaku and Yumichika, who had become Shinigami and joined the division. Ikkaku told Zaraki he had come back just as he had suggested, which prompted Zaraki to smile. Later, they were present when the division battled a caterpillar-like Hollow. After the division lost several members, Ikkaku, showing up to fight it, was stopped by Zaraki, who decided to kill it himself. After the Hollow was dispatched, more came, which prompted Ikkaku and Yumichika to join in the fight. Initially against it, Zaraki was persuaded upon realizing the two had fighting traits similar to his.[9]

Sometime later, Ikkaku, while walking around the 11th Division barracks, was greeted by Renji Abarai, a fresh transfer from the 5th Division. When Renji asked Ikkaku to train him, the two battled. Impressed by his new student's eagerness to excel. Ikkaku asked Renji why he wanted to become strong so badly. After Renji stated he had someone he wished to surpass, they continued to train well into the evening, advancing as far as using their Shikai against each other. Ikkaku told Renji they had finished training, and if he wished to learn any more, he would have to figure it out on his own, for Ikkaku did not want Renji to end up mimicking his style. When Renji asked him if he had Bankai and why he did not use it, Ikkaku, stating he had his reasons, alluded he was chasing someone as well. Telling Renji his name, he instructed him to remember it, for the next time they fight will be to the death. Explaining to him why he gives his name to his opponent, Ikkaku left as Renji thanked him.[9]


Plot[]

Soul Society arc[]

Ep26IkkakuBlocksIchigo

Ikkaku and Ichigo clash.

Ikkaku and Yumichika Ayasegawa encounter Ichigo Kurosaki and Ganju Shiba upon their intrusion into the Seireitei.[11] Doing his Tsuki-Tsuki dance to give Ichigo and Ganju time to exit their sand pit, Ikkaku becomes irritated when they just stand there looking at him. After Ichigo and Ganju get into an argument about possibly fighting, Ganju runs away. As Yumichika chases after him, Ikkaku is left to fight Ichigo. After resolving why Ichigo did not run away as well, Ikkaku attacks. After clashing, resulting in both of them receiving small cuts near their eyes, they exchange names.[12] After applying ointment from the hilt of his sword to stop the bleeding and telling Ichigo he is not sure what to make of him, Ikkaku asks Ichigo who his teacher is. When Ichigo reveals he was taught by Kisuke Urahara, a surprised Ikkaku states if he is Ichigo's teacher, it would be very rude of him to kill him so easily.[13]

Ep26IkkakuShikaiHozukimaru

Ikkaku releases Shikai.

After Ikkaku releases his Shikai, he and Ichigo clash once more. When Ichigo thinks he has the upper hand, Ikkaku, swinging his Zanpakutō at Ichigo's head, says a second release command, causing his Shikai to split into a three-sectioned staff, forcing Ichigo to react before the spear head can hit him square in the face. As he blocks with his forearm, creating a deep wound, Ikkaku states Hōzukimaru isn't a spear, but a sansetsukon. Though he believes Ichigo will be unable to use his wounded arm any longer, Ikkaku is forced to dodge when Ichigo attacks. As the wall behind him is destroyed by Ichigo's slash, Ichigo states it seemed like Ikkaku finished talking, but he does not know Ichigo's sword, and next time, he will be the one who will not be able to hold his weapon.[14] As they continue to battle, Ichigo notes he is getting used to fighting against his weapon. When Ichigo cuts Hōzukimaru in half, cutting deeply into the center of Ikkaku's chest at the same time, Ikkaku, laughing, tells Ichigo he should give up since he can still hold his sword. Spinning the bladed end, he advances, prompting Ichigo to yell at him to put it away, having already lost. Refusing, Ikkaku states he will only lay down his weapon when he is dead, and he will never walk away from a fight like a coward. The two collide, resulting in Hōzukimaru breaking further, and a grievous wound is dealt to Ikkaku's arm. Falling to the ground, an unconscious Ikkaku states Ichigo was too strong.[15]

Ep27IkkakuHealed

Ikkaku realizes Ichigo sealed his wounds.

After Ikkaku wakes up, he is greeted by Ichigo, who reveals he used the ointment in Ikkaku's Zanpakutō to heal their wounds. As a surprised Ikkaku becomes irate at the thought of having been saved by his own enemy, Ichigo asks him where he can find Rukia Kuchiki. After laughing at the notion of 5 people and a cat saving Rukia, Ikkaku, telling him where she is being held, tells him if he is the strongest in his group, he should watch out for his captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, who will surely be looking for him. When Ichigo asks Ikkaku if his captain is strong, Ikkaku states he will know if he sees him, and he will know his strength if he survives the meeting.[16]

Ep29IkkakuRecovers

Ikkaku recovers in the 4th Division's barracks.

While recovering from his injuries at the 4th Division's headquarters, he is given an unsanctioned interrogation by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, whom he tells no details of his fight. Disturbed Ikkaku has nothing to offer as far as information, Mayuri, stating he will need to be punished for his behavior, is stopped by Zaraki, who asks him when has he had authority over members of other divisions. As Mayuri leaves, Ikkaku, telling Zaraki about what direction Ichigo went and why he was there, describes him and how he told him who Zaraki is. Stating his strength is great, he says he will most likely keep getting stronger.[17]

When the 11th Division decides to help Orihime Inoue, they are met in resistance by the captains of the 7th and 9th Division, along with their respective lieutenants. Intervening, Ikkaku and Yumichika wish to fight against the lieutenants, for they think they are not good enough to take on Zaraki. Ikkaku is called out to fight by Tetsuzaemon Iba, who states it has been some time since they last saw each other, and his insulting loud mouth has gotten sharper. Stating he is one to talk, Ikkaku notes Iba left the 11th Division because he could not become lieutenant. The two leave to fight elsewhere.[18]

Ep57IbaIkkakuNotice

Ikkaku and Iba's friendly fighting.

Later, Ikkaku and Iba, resting after their battle, drink with each other. When Ikkaku comments on a lightning strike, Iba, scolding him for being ignorant, states it was not a lighting strike, but Kidō, and it would not have reached them, for it was a targeted attack. When Iba states Ikkaku has not improved one bit, for he still knows nothing of Kidō, Ikkaku, telling Iba he was never interested in Kidō anyway, states unlike him, his mother did not make him a "do it all" type of guy. Iba explains he was not always so good, but instead of focusing on one thing, being well rounded means a better chance at a promotion to lieutenant. After engaging in a small argument about Iba always drinking too much of Ikkaku's booze, they fight again.[19]

Soon afterwards, Ikkaku hears the message from Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu about the traitorous actions of 5th Division captain, Sōsuke Aizen.[20]

Sometime after Aizen's defection from Soul Society, 6th Division lieutenant, Renji Abarai, approaching Ikkaku, asks him to take the vacant captain's position of the 5th Division. When Ikkaku refuses, an adamant Renji states there are not any other lieutenants who can use Bankai, and even if there were, he would be the only one qualified. When he affirms Ikkaku could have any vacant spot and should be the next captain, Ikkaku reminds Renji he already told him he has no intention of telling anyone besides him and Yumichika he is capable of Bankai, for if it got out, he would have others telling him the same thing. Stating he has no intention of becoming a captain because it would mean he could no longer fight under Captain Zaraki, Ikkaku says just as Renji's desire is to surpass Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, his is to fight and die under the command of Captain Zaraki. He tells Renji if he understands, he will not ask him again.[21]


Arrancar arc[]

Ep114HitsugayaTeamArrives

Ikkaku comes to Karakura Town.

Along with Yumichika, Rangiku Matsumoto, Renji Abarai, and Rukia Kuchiki, Ikkaku is part of the advanced force led by Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya to defend Karakura Town from the threat of the Arrancar. To aid in their mission, they dress as students at Ichigo's school.[22] Later, he, almost beating up Keigo Asano, is stopped by Rangiku, who, slapping him on the head, tells him if he does not stop, she will tell on him to his lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi, prompting him to apologize.[23]

While Ichigo talks to Rukia in his room, Ikkaku and the three others, popping out of a ceiling light, make their way into the room, much to Ichigo's displeasure. When Kon, becoming enamored with Rangiku's bosom, runs toward her, she knocks him away as Ikkaku asks Ichigo if the reaction is some kind of trend in his world, prompting Ichigo to say no, it is just the way Kon is.[24] When asked where they will stay, for Ichigo says they cannot all stay at his house, Ikkaku, leaving, states he and Yumichika will find a place to stay somewhere.[25] Later, Ikkaku and Yumichika, sitting atop a building, have a conversation about how it is impossible for them to have such well made rice balls with artistic wrapping without something more going on, for it is too much for one person to make so many of them.[26]

Ep117IkkakuAsksKeigo

Ikkaku bargains with Keigo.

When the Sexta Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, leads an attack on the living world, Ikkaku and Yumichika prepare to face the oncoming enemies.[27] Ikkaku is left to fight one of Grimmjow's Fracción. Motioning to Ikkaku, the Arrancar tells him he has no luck at all because he has to fight him.[28] After being attacked, Ikkaku notices a scared and confused Keigo Asano, who is wondering what is going on. Asking Keigo if he can stay with him, Ikkaku notes if he takes care of the Arrancar, it will save his life, and therefore they would be helping each other out. After Keigo says yes, Ikkaku asks the Arrancar what his name is. Giving his rank, the Arrancar, stopping himself, states there is no point in telling him any more, for all he needs to know is he is the one who will tear him apart. Put off by this, Ikkaku, telling the Arrancar about the concept of the "Last Courtesy", states his name and rank.[29]

As the two fight, the Arrancar tells him if this is all he can do with his Zanpakutō, it would serve better as a waist ornament, for blades will not cut the Hierro of an Arrancar. Trying to goad him, the Arrancar states a Shinigami who refuses to release his Zanpakutō is a shame, but Ikkaku states he is the one who needs to release.[30]

As they continue to fight, the Arrancar is overpowered by Ikkaku's unique style of fighting using both his Zanpakutō and sheath. Analyzing his fighting style, the Arrancar realizes the attacks of his blade come from his right hand, while the left defends using the Zanpakutō's sheath. As he thinks he has the upper hand, Ikkaku switches the sheath and blade, surprising him, and slashes the Arrancar's face, breaking the remains of his mask in two. After being knocked away, Ikkaku, telling him he was lucky, for he was going for his head, spits out two teeth, telling the Arrancar channeling his Reiatsu into his hands has lost him two molars, and resigns to replace them later. When Ikkaku states the Arrancar will need to release his Zanpakutō in 5 or 6 more attacks, the Arrancar, mocking Ikkaku for boasting of his own prowess when he should be cowering in fear at the opponent he will surely lose to, releases his Zanpakutō, introducing himself as Edrad Liones.[31]

Ep118IkkakuWithstandsPunch

Ikkaku blocks Edrad's final blow.

Edrad explains to Ikkaku the true power of an Arrancar's release.[32] As Edrad's Resurrección increases his Reiatsu dramatically, he, gaining the upper hand, overwhelms Ikkaku with ease. As the fight is taken to the sky, Ikkaku releases his Shikai, but Edrad, appearing, smashes him into the ground, leaving a crater around him. As Ikkaku tries to get up, he is told by the Arrancar to give up gracefully, for there is no need for him to be beaten into nothing. When he refuses to give up, Edrad gives him a finishing blow, creating a column of flame which extends into the sky. When the smoke clears, Ikkaku, withstanding the blow, holds Edrad's fist upon his back.[33]

Ep118EdradSeesBankai

Ikkaku reveals his Bankai to Edrad.

When Edrad lifts up his fist, Ikkaku states there was never a difference in their power. Stating the others are in similar fights and will not notice, Ikkaku, telling Edrad to be quiet and promise not to tell anyone about what he is about to see, releases his Bankai.[34] After Ikkaku tells him this is his Bankai, Ryūmon Hōzukimaru, the two, taking to the sky, continue their fight. Cutting through Volcanica, Ikkaku attacks from above. After being pushed back, Ikkaku, grabbing his Bankai by the central blade, twirls the two other blades. Seeing Edrad has realized his Reiatsu is rising, Ikkaku states Hōzukimaru is a "lazy bum" who needs to be awoken, either through battle or by his current movements. As Ikkaku puts all of his strength into one final attack, Edrad does the same, and both fighters collide in a large explosion.[35] As the smoke clears, Ikkaku's Bankai breaks into pieces, and he falls to the ground below, followed by Edrad, who has lost his left arm and the left side of his abdomen.[36]

Afterwards, both Ikkaku and Yumichika go to Keigo's home as a part of an earlier agreement for saving him from the Arrancar. At first, Keigo tries to get them thrown out, hoping his sister, Mizuho Asano, is against it, but she, praising his actions, gives Ikkaku and Yumichika food and clothes because she likes guys with "shaved heads".[37][38]

Later, while Ikkaku is meditating, the others try to attain Bankai, causing Rangiku and Yumichika to get into a small altercation with their Zanpakutō because they are too similar to them before being yelled at by Hitsugaya.[39] Along with the others, he is alerted by the arrival of an invasion force led by Grimmjow's replacement, Luppi Antenor. He and Yumichika face off against Luppi, who introduces himself as the 6th Espada.[40] Becoming bored, Luppi insists they fight against him four on one because he is going to release and take them all on as a group.[41] Ikkaku is surprised at Luppi's release, which gives him eight tentacles to control.[42] Attacking Ikkaku, Rangiku, and Yumichika all at once, Luppi, overwhelming them, taunts them.[43] Yelling as Yumichika and Rangiku are ensnared, Ikkaku is caught by one of Luppi's many tentacles.[44] The Arrancar is defeated by Hitsugaya before he harms any of his captives.[45]

Upon learning Orihime Inoue has followed the Arrancar back to Hueco Mundo, Ikkaku and the rest of his team return to Soul Society to prepare for the war against Aizen.[46]


Fake Karakura Town arc[]

Ep216IkkakuGuardsPillar

Ikkaku in the fake Karakura Town.

When Aizen and his top three Espada invade the fake Karakura Town, Ikkaku, along with Yumichika Ayasegawa, Shūhei Hisagi, and Izuru Kira, is tasked with protecting the four pillars which keep the real Karakura Town in Soul Society.[47] He begins a confrontation with one of Baraggan Louisenbairn's Fracción, Choe Neng Poww. Upon seeing the large Arrancar, rather than be intimidated by his size, Ikkaku is amused, stating he is a "big boy" and prays he is as tough as he looks. When Poww, wondering if Shinigami pray to a god, asks who he prays to, Ikkaku is perplexed by the concept too. Realizing he does not really pray to any god, he decides it does not matter, for he will just pray to the Arrancar's god. Poww retorts that this shouldn't be a problem, for their god and king knows full well he is no match for him.[48]

219Poww defeats

Ikkaku defeated by Choe Neng Poww.

Unlike the three others, who are successful in defending their pillars, Ikkaku is defeated in his fight against Poww, who destroys the pillar he was guarding.[49] Poww states he thought Ikkaku had something more up his sleeve, but if he is dead, he would guess not. As Ikkaku tries to get up, Poww steps on his back, causing him to scream out in pain. Happy he still lives, Poww asks him to show him what he has left. As Poww tries to force him to give in or die, a defiant Ikkaku states he has nothing left, and even if he did, he would not waste it on him. Before Poww can finish him off, Captain Sajin Komamura punches Poww as Iba stops more of the real town from appearing. Punching Komamura a considerable distance away, Poww releases his Zanpakutō, Calderón.[50] Grabbing Ikkaku, Iba, running, states they are no match for someone who just sent his captain flying. Moving back with Shunpo, Komamura, intercepting an attack by Poww, defeats Poww with his Bankai.[51]

As Komamura's Bankai dissipates, an amazed Ikkaku looks on. When Iba, saying Komamura's Bankai is amazing, notes the difference between the captain's Bankai and his is like night and day, a shocked Ikkaku looks on as Iba, asking him if he did not think he would notice, promises not to tell his captain. Scolding Ikkaku, he tells him his job was to protect the pillar, and yet it was destroyed. Telling Ikkaku this happened because he wants to hide his strength, Iba states he does not care if Ikkaku dies because he wants to hide his strength, but he should not disobey orders to do so. Noting Ikkaku's stubbornness has cost them in battle, Iba tells him as long as he is in the Gotei 13, he must obey orders, even if it means crushing his stubbornness and pride. When Ikkaku tries to explain himself, Iba punches him in the face. As an irate Ikkaku, trying to fight back, is pushed to the side, Iba asks him why he would attack head-on in his condition, for there is no point in coming at him head-on if he is just going to get crushed. When he notes he has to win, even if it means running away or sneaking up from behind, Ikkaku states it is something a coward would do, and he is no coward, which prompts Iba to tell him to get stronger and win, even at the cost of his life.[52] As Ikkaku notices Komamura standing behind Iba, he, wiggling his ears, tells them not to worry, for his ears appear to be failing him today.[53]

The Lost Substitute Shinigami arc[]

Ep362ShingamiAndIchigo

Ikkaku and the other members of the Gotei 13 with Ichigo.

After Ichigo appears to regain his Shinigami powers, he is mocked by Kūgo Ginjō, who states it only looks this way, for he had stolen all of his powers and Rukia would only manage to give him some of her power. Calling him an imbecile, Renji reveals the presence of himself and Ikkaku, Zaraki, Hitsugaya, and Byakuya, who are all observing the situation. Renji reveals they all, including Ikkaku, gave some of their Reiatsu to the sword, which was created by Urahara to allow Ichigo to regain his old powers once Rukia stabbed him with it.[54] After Giriko Kutsuzawa tells Ichigo he will experience his Fullbring's power through them, Ikkaku says he is being too cocky. When Ichigo states he will take care of them, Ikkaku is surprised at this.[55]

Ep363IkkakuBulges

Ikkaku uses his muscles to pop his shoulder back into place.

After Yukio Hans Vorarlberna explains the new powers of his Fullbring, he is stabbed in the back by Ikkaku, who, saying Ichigo is being too lax, tells him to not hold back at this stage in the battle. As he says Ichigo should kill them properly, an attack, coming at him from behind, is parried by Hitsugaya, who tells Ikkaku to keep his guard up. As Ikkaku apologizes, Moe Shishigawara attacks. As Ikkaku, dodging, asks his attacker who he is, Yukio uses his Fullbring to bring him and Moe into a chat room.[56] Ikkaku faces off against Moe, who surprises Ikkaku with the devastating power of his Fullbring-enhanced punches, which topple the trees around them. While trying to figure it out how Moe is able to do this despite his appearance, Ikkaku is caught off guard, and Moe, landing a direct blow on his shoulder, dislocates it. While Moe brags about his accomplishment, Ikkaku, flexing his muscles, pops his shoulder back into place.[57]

Ep363MoeBreaksHozukimaru

Ikkaku is surprised by Moe's brute strength.

As the fight continues, Moe breaks the blade off of Hōzukimaru, prompting Ikkaku to, discarding his Zanpakutō, fight Moe barehanded. As Moe lands several seemingly critical hits on Ikkaku, he continues to fight as if unaffected. Both fighters realize Moe's Fullbring gradually runs out of luck as the fight continues, making his hits less effective. As Moe lands one more devastating blow onto Ikkaku's stomach, Ikkaku, grabbing Moe's head, knocks him out with a powerful headbutt, stating he is the luckiest man in the Gotei 13.[58] As Ikkaku begins to leave, his leg is grabbed by Moe, who refuses to give up. Applauding his determination, Ikkaku tells Moe to not pointlessly throw away his life. When Moe states he already gave his life to Shūkurō Tsukishima, Ikkaku, asking if Tsukishima is just as willing to die for Moe, calls him a fool, stating pointlessly throwing his life away for someone who does not respect him is the act of an attention-seeking brat. Ikkaku states if Moe decides to attack, he will strike him down with all his power.[59]

Ep366ShinigamiReturn

Ikkaku and the captains prepare to return to Soul Society.

After Yukio shuts down the chatrooms, Ikkaku, meeting with Zaraki and Yachiru, comments on how Zaraki came out of the pocket dimension early, only for him to state he was late. As they notice Renji coming out of some bushes, Ikkaku, scolding him for his condition, asks if he defeated his opponent. When Zaraki asks Ikkaku how he came out of his dimension, Ikkaku tells him after he lectured his opponent for a bit, the latter took off. This angers Zaraki, who scolds his subordinate for such behavior.[60] Along with the captains, he looks on as Ichigo breaks apart the last remaining pocket dimension with his Bankai.[61] Having fulfilled their mission, Ikkaku and the captains prepare to return to Soul Society.[62]


The Thousand-Year Blood War arc[]

482Ikkaku and Yumichika investigate

Ikkaku and Yumichika investigating the disappearances.

Along with Yumichika, Ikkaku heads to Rukongai. When Yumichika asks if he heard the news, Ikkaku saying he did, states people at Rukongai cannot vanish on their own, and they should not underestimate their division.[63] As Ikkaku and other members of the 11th Division investigate District 64 of Rukongai, called Sabitsura, where people have been disappearing, Yumichika observes there is nobody left. When Ikkaku states there had been people when he had first got the report, meaning the disappearances are ongoing, Yumichika theorizes they left and went somewhere else, not wanting to stay in a place where people disappear, but Ikkaku, rebuffing this, tells him the SRDI would have known if they had simply moved. As one of their subordinates tells them not even one child can be found, another brings them to a group of footprints which lead to one place before disappearing. As they both notice each set of footprints has one foot bare while the other has a sandal, Yumichika concludes a Hollow is not responsible for the disappearances, and Ikkaku orders them to continue searching for clues.[64]

515Ikkaku struggles

Ikkaku becoming restless from the news about his captain.

When the Wandenreich begin their invasion of Soul Society, Ikkaku, along with Yumichika, is among the Shinigami who go out to the battlefield.[65] Later, Ikkaku is notified by Rin Tsubokura Ichigo is currently heading to Soul Society.[66] Later, Ikkaku and other members of the Gotei 13 are surprised to sense Ichigo Kurosaki finally enter Soul Society.[67] After the fighting ends and the Wandenreich withdraw, Ikkaku, brought to the medical compound for treatment, is restrained after restlessly shouting his captain could not have died.[68]

After the Wandenreich invade the Seireitei for the second time, Ikkaku notes it is nighttime. When Yumichika asks him if it has not been night the entire time, Ikkaku states it was only cloudy and notes the shadows outside of the Seireitei are increasing before saying he has a bad feeling. Climbing over the wall behind them, Hisagi expresses surprise upon seeing Ikkaku and Yumichika. When Ikkaku asks him why he came here, Hisagi states he got lost before revealing the Wandenreich spread high-density Reishi all over the Seireitei in order to prevent the Shinigami from finding them. Saying they should not move rashly at night, Ikkaku states they will be doing exactly what the enemy wants if they move around in the shadows as Mask De Masculine appears above them, and beats them into the ground.[69]

Ep388IkkakuYumichikaConfrontGiselle

Ikkaku and Yumichika confront Giselle.

Later, Ikkaku and Yumichika notice Ichigo's arrival.[70] Soon afterward, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Hisagi, Renji, Rukia, and Byakuya confront the Sternritter gathered at Ichigo's location.[71] After Bazz-B summons his Spirit Weapon, Ikkaku attacks him, forcing Bazz-B to dodge. After Rukia encases Bazz-B's arm in ice, Ikkaku tells the Sternritter they should die right now if they want the Shinigami to leave, prompting Yumichika to note this does not make very much sense.[72] After all of the combatants are separated by a massive explosion, Ikkaku and Yumichika confront Giselle Gewelle, who cautions them against attacking her. When Yumichika claims she is a man, an angered Giselle summons Bambietta Basterbine's corpse and has her engulf Ikkaku and Yumichika in explosions before proclaiming they will kill all of the Shinigami together.[73]

Ep388DaichiTenyō

Ikkaku and Yumichika attack Bambietta.

As Ikkaku and Yumichika repeatedly dodge explosions, Ikkaku wonders how Bambietta keeps throwing bombs without running out, prompting Yumichika to point out that she is causing things to explode by touching them. When Ikkaku states this is the same thing, Yumichika states this means he cannot repel them with Hōzukimaru. Ikkaku decides to attack her head-on, prompting Yumichika to back him up by using Hadō #57. Daichi Tenyō, which sends several chucks of rock flying at Bambietta. Ikkaku stabs Bambietta, but she merely grabs his face, only for Yumichika to appear and cut her arm off. As Giselle explains how Bambietta cannot die because she is already dead, Bambietta blasts Ikkaku and Yumichika away. as Giselle reveals that she killed Bambietta to turn her into a zombie, Mayuri Kurotsuchi arrives to take over the fight.[74]

Ikkaku notes he cannot see Mayuri, but knows him from his voice.[75] Later, when Giselle summons several zombified Shinigami, a shocked Ikkaku curses her.[76] As Mayuri brings out four zombified Arrancar in response to this, Ikkaku recognizes Luppi Antenor among them,[77] and tries to calm Yumichika down when the latter is riled up by Charlotte Chuhlhourne.[78] When the Arrancar begin attacking the zombified Shinigami, Ikkaku tells them to wait, only for Mayuri to state how those who go against the Seireitei must die before pointing out how those are Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's words.[79]

Ep389HitsugayaRemovesSword

A zombified Hitsugaya pulls his sword out of Ikkaku.

When a zombified Hitsugaya arrives, Ikkaku recognizes him and states that he thought almost all of Hitsugaya's Reiatsu was gone. When Hitsugaya prepares to attack, Yumichika attempts to use Bakudō, only for Ikkaku to proclaim he cannot stop this with Kidō and send Yumichika flying back with a blow from Hōzukimaru. Hitsugaya unleashes a wave of ice, which freezes Ikkaku's right leg. As Ikkaku notes this is a small price to pay for surviving that attack, Hitsugaya stabs him through the chest and slashes his back before attacking again, only for Yumichika to intercept the slash.[80]

Later, Ikkaku is brought to Urahara's laboratory and healed by Jūshirō Ukitake. When Zaraki emerges from the medical room, Ikkaku expresses surprise at him being able to move.[81] When Nanao confronts Zaraki over his desire to search for Yachiru, Ikkaku watches nervously from the sidelines. After Zaraki agrees to leave the search for his lieutenant to the rest of the 11th Division, Urahara gives Shinji a sphere to charge with his Reiatsu.[82]

621Shinigami fight

Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Hisagi fight off the creatures.

After the death of the Soul King, when the worlds start to crumble, Ikkaku watches as Ukitake uses Kamikake to call upon the power of Mimihagi and take the Soul King's place.[83] Later, when Yhwach absorbs Mimihagi and transforms into a swarm of black creatures that invade the Seireitei, Ikkaku, alongside Yumichika and Hisagi, activates his Shikai and begins fighting them off, but soon notes that there is no end to them.[84]

When much of the Gotei 13 goes through the gate in order to reach the Soul King Palace, Ikkaku is left behind with his captain, Yumichika and Hanatarō when they went to relieve themselves. However, they notice that Mayuri and Nemu have deliberately stayed behind and follow them through the gate when they reopen it at a separate location. As the two captains argue with one another and Hanatarō panics about being left behind, Ikkaku suggests to an impatient Yumichika that they should run on ahead of their superior.[85]

636Ikkaku yells

Ikkaku panics upon seeing Zaraki's body being warped.

The group comes across Pernida Parnkgjas while travelling through Wahrwelt. Zaraki is injured after carelessly attacking the Quincy and Ikkaku broods over missing an opportunity to attack as well. Yumichika reprimands him for speaking in such a way, asserting that if they got involved, their captain would probably get mad at them for doing something wrong. When Nemu agrees with his comrade, Ikkaku expresses his surprise that the quiet lieutenant has actually spoken up about her opinion. He is calmly informed that neither Mayuri nor Zaraki look like they are struggling enough in the battle to warrant their interference or help. Ikkaku cries out in alarm when Zaraki's arm begins to twist of its own accord, forcing the captain to cut it off before it spreads to his body and kills him. He watches as the arm continues to fold in on itself until it become just a puddle of blood and Ikkaku wonders how that is possible.[86] He panics when Zaraki's entire body begins to twist after he heedlessly attacks a second time. When prompted by Nemu, Ikkaku covers his ears to prevent the deafness that is caused by Mayuri's Fear Factor 4, which he uses to save Zaraki from Pernida's attack.[87]

637Pernida towers

Pernida towers over Ikkaku and Yumichika.

After Mayuri thanks Zaraki for exposing the true nature of The Compulsory and giving him a reason to improve Ashisogi Jizō, Ikkaku angrily notes that Mayuri sent him against Pernida on purpose, and is further annoyed when Mayuri refers to Zaraki as a "noble sacrifice". Upon witnessing Pernida's true form as the left arm of the Soul King towering over him and Yumichika, a stunned Ikkaku wonders why it is so large before fleeing when Pernida begins to attack. Seeing Mayuri still standing before Pernida, Ikkaku tells him to run before demanding to know why he is so happy about this situation.[88] After Mayuri tells Pernida that he has the right to give it a new name after discovering it, Ikkaku asks if he really said that, and Yumichika grimly affirms it. Pernida says that it does not understand what Mayuri is saying, and Ikkaku says that they don't understand either, but Nemu says that she does. Ikkaku reacts in shock when Pernida takes control of the ground. As Mayuri ascends a building, Pernida attempts to crush him with two stone fists, causing an explosion. Ikkaku worriedly wonders if Mayuri was blown up, but Mayuri quickly refutes this.[89]

644Ikkaku and Yumichika thank

Ikkaku and Yumichika thank Mayuri.

When Mayuri prepares to use his Bankai, Yumichika believes that he is planning to release poison into the surrounding area and tells Ikkaku that they need to move Zaraki away from there, only to be shocked alongside Ikkaku when Mayuri reveals a modified version of his Bankai instead.[90] After Mayuri defeats Pernida, Ikkaku and Yumichika return and help him release the de-zombified Hitsugaya and Rangiku from the containers they were in before placing Mayuri in one of the containers. After placing Zaraki in the other one, Ikkaku and Yumichika promise to come back for him soon before thanking Mayuri and leaving.[91] Soon afterward, Ikkaku and Yumichika are shocked to see Zaraki standing before them, having left his container.[92] They are further startled when Zaraki activates Bankai, causing his skin to turn red.[93]

Ten years after the defeat of Yhwach, Ikkaku has replaced Yachiru as lieutenant. Along with Zaraki and Yumichika, he sets off to the promotion ceremony of the new 13th Division captain. Zaraki insists that the event is at the 13th Division's barracks, which Ikkaku disputes. Unable to get Yumichika to back him up, they are forced to follow Zaraki and arrive late. As Zaraki is berated by Suì-Fēng, Ikkaku bows in apology.[94]

Echoing Jaws of Hell arc[]

NBFHIchika and Ikkaku clash

Ikkaku spars with Ichika Abarai.

Twelve years after Yhwach's defeat, Ikkaku opens his own martial arts dojo and begins training Ichika Abarai. Three hours prior to Jūshirō Ukitake's Konsō Reisai, Ikkaku spars with Ichika after she shows up late for a session and effortlessly keeps her at bay while inquiring about her interest in Kazui Kurosaki, to Ichika's chagrin. Suddenly, Yumichika arrives and reminds Ikkaku that he needs to attend the Jogimen Reibaku tonight like all the other lieutenants do, leading Ikkaku to send Ichika home early and make preparations to depart for the Human World.[95]

NBFHIchigo and lieutenants gather

Ikkaku gathers with the other lieutenants and Ichigo.

That night, Ikkaku, the other lieutenants, and Ichigo gather in the Human World in order to capture a Hollow for the Konsō Reisai. When the group is attacked by several Jigoku no Gaki, Ikkaku slices open the head of one of them and warns his comrades that they are not ordinary Hollows due to their lack of Reiatsu before declaring that they need to spread out and combat the Jigoku no Gaki all at once.[96]

Powers & Abilities[]

Master Swordsman: Even when ranked a 3rd Seat officer, his skills are of near-captain level. He uses a fighting style noted to be rough, but powerful, using complex movements which allow him to lunge with his sword from the left and defend with his sheath at the right, though he is ambidextrous and can switch between the two techniques. Ikkaku commonly fights with his sword held in a normal grip and the sheath held in reverse grip, showing his mastery of the two variations of sword-fighting. He uses misdirection in his attacks, and even though doing so allows for holes in his defense, he can make up for it with surprise attacks.[97] His mastery of this skill is great enough for Renji Abarai to beg Ikkaku to train him.[9]

  • Naginatajutsu Master: Ikkaku's Zanpakutō is a naginata-type weapon while in Shikai. Ikkaku uses it perfectly against other sword-type weapons.[98]
  • Bōjutsu Master: Though Ikkaku's Zanpakutō is a naginata-type weapon while in Shikai, it can split apart into a three-sectioned staff and back into a naginata. While in its split form, he is highly proficient in the use of techniques similar in use to that of bo to take advantage of its versatility.[99][100]

Hakuda Expert: Before he became a Shinigami, Ikkaku was always roaming around looking for fights. Most opponents did not have swords, so he frequently fought barehanded. He won against everyone he fought, and upon seeing his strength, most people fled from him.[101]

Shunpo Practitioner: Ikkaku is proficient with Shunpo, though he only uses it to keep up with stronger opponents so he can fight more.

High Spiritual Power: As a lieutenant and former 3rd seat of the Gotei 13, Ikkaku boasts a high level of spiritual power. His spiritual energy is red.[102]

Enhanced Strength: Ikkaku possesses a high level of strength, able to block a punch from the Arrancar Edrad Liones in his released state, even while severely injured.[103] Several of his opponents have commented on the strength of his blows, able to shatter the ground with his attacks,[104] having sent Hōzukimaru flying several meters away and through solid rock with a single attack.[105] His muscle control is highly developed, for after having a shoulder dislocated, he reset it by flexing his muscles.[106]

Enhanced Endurance: Ikkaku has an incredibly high level of endurance, able to ignore most injuries without noticeably affecting his performance. During his fight against Edrad, despite taking great injuries, he still fought on, used his Bankai, and ultimately defeated the Arrancar.[107] During his fight against Moe Shishigawara, even after taking several critical hits to the point of coughing up blood, he still fought on and defeated Moe.[108]

Zanpakutō[]

Hōzukimaru redirects here. For the manifested spirit that appears in the anime-only Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc see Hōzukimaru (Zanpakutō spirit).

Hōzukimaru (鬼灯丸, Demon Light; Viz "Winter Cherry"): Though Hōzukimaru resembles an ordinary katana, its hilt is hollow to store a small vial of healing ointment, which Ikkaku can access by removing the hilt's pommel. Its tsuba is an oval, with what look like three small teardrops in relief on both the top and bottom end. Rarely wearing it at his side like most Shinigami, Ikkaku usually carries Hōzukimaru's sealed form in his hand to enable him to quickly access it in battle, and wields its sheath in his other hand to serve as a secondary weapon.

Ep118IkkakuShikaiHozukimaru

Ikkaku's Shikai, Hōzukimaru.

  • Shikai: Its Shikai command is "Grow" (延びろ, nobiro; Viz "Extend"). The Shikai of Hōzukimaru is unusual in that Ikkaku slams its hilt (and sometimes its pommel) into its sheath to activate it when saying the command phrase. Once released, Hōzukimaru takes on the form of what initially appears to be a Kikuchi Yari (spear) with a wax wood shaft. The pommel has a red horsehair tassel.[109]


Ep26HōzukimaruSansetsukon

Ikkaku's Shikai separated.

Shikai Special Ability: Ikkaku uses the command "Split Apart" (裂けろ, sakero; Viz "Break") to separate his yari into its true form, which is a Sansetsukon (三節棍, Three Sectional Staff), after which the sections can independently reconnect and separate again at will. This special ability surprises his opponents when they first attack. These chains can extend a fair length, allowing Ikkaku to swing his weapon like a flail for mid-range attacks.


205Ikkaku's Bankai, Ryumon Hozukimaru

Ikkaku's Bankai, Ryūmon Hōzukimaru.

  • Bankai: Ryūmon Hōzukimaru (龍紋鬼灯丸, Dragon Crest Demon Light): To activate it during his battle with Edrad, Ikkaku slams the two broken pieces of his Shikai back into the spear-form and says Bankai. Its two main weapons are a Chinese Monk's spade and a standard guandao. Both have a traditional horsehair tassel at the hilt, and a long, cylindrical weight for a pommel. The pommels are connected by a heavy chain to the center section, which resembles an axe blade, with a parallel handle forged into the blunt end and a dragon crest on one side of the blade. Ikkaku usually holds one blade in each hand and lets the central portion float behind him, though he will occasionally spin the entire configuration about using the center handle as a pivot.[110][111]
Bankai Special Ability: Ikkaku's Bankai, like his Shikai, is quite unusual. Aside from the increase in power, his Bankai does not offer any special abilities or special defensive properties, but releases some Reiatsu, which starts to grow in strength. Ikkaku treats Hōzukimaru different than other Bankai users treat their Zanpakutō, for they just let theirs slumber and use it when they want to do Bankai. If he forces it to awaken suddenly, cutting the enemy and not getting cut becomes a lot harder to handle than it should be, so his Bankai gets increasingly more powerful as the fight drags on. After he activates his Bankai, Ikkaku's Reiatsu rises as the dragon crest slowly fills with crimson dye. It fills faster when he spins Ryūmon Hōzukimaru with the center handle. Ikkaku states his Zanpakutō is very lazy in battle and needs to be woken up through causing or receiving injury. When the crest is completely filled, Ryūmon Hōzukimaru is at its full power.[112]

Weaknesses[]

Combat[]

Kidō: Typical of a member of the 11th Division, Ikkaku has no capability in Kidō.[113]

Zanpakutō[]

Structural Weakness (Shikai): While able to deliver powerful blows, it is not very durable, and tends to break against particularly strong strikes.

Brittle Edge (Bankai): The force of unleashing so much power can leave his Zanpakutō's edge brittle under excessive stress.[114]

Waning Power (Bankai): According to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, it is considerably weaker after having been destroyed by Edrad, even after Akon managed to repair it to its original shape.[115]

BBSIkkaku

Promotional artwork of Ikkaku wielding Hōzukimaru.

  • Ikkaku is playable in several forms in Bleach: Brave Souls, one of which draws from his battle against Edrad Liones in Karakura Town. In this form, Ikkaku is a melee normal attack character with the "Speed" attribute and the "Hollow Killer" ability whose second strong attack is a boost move. His unlockable skills are "Berserker +30%", "Bruiser +40%", "Enhancer +10 secs.", "Flurry", "Last-Ditch Survival 100%", "Poise", "Sprinter +1", and "Weaken Duration -100%", while his Soul Trait is "Damage Taken -16%". Ikkaku's special is Bankai! Ryūmon Hōzukimaru! (卍解『龍紋鬼灯丸』, Final Release! «Dragon Crest Demon Light»), where he attacks with the giant weapons of his Bankai to inflict immense damage.
  • Ikkaku features on an edition of Bleach Beat Collection's Second Session, where Nobuyuki Hiyama performs as Ikkaku in the track "We," which is a quartet with Yumichika Ayasegawa, Yachiru Kusajishi, Kenpachi Zaraki.
  • He appears in the third to eighth editions of the Rock Musical Bleach, where he is played by Takuya Usui.
  • Ikkaku features in the fifth volume of Bleach "B" Station's first season, as well as the fourth season's fourth volume.

Censorship[]

  • In the anime, before releasing his Bankai against Edrad Liones, Ikkaku wasn't shown bleeding profusely after Edrad struck him,[116] as he was in the manga.[117]
  • In the anime, during a flashback to when Ikkaku first met Kenpachi Zaraki and was defeated by the latter, Ikkaku wasn't shown bleeding profusely from his grievous wounds[118] as he was in the manga.[119] Instead Ikkaku has fewer wounds on his body in the anime.

Trivia[]

  • According to Q&A #526 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", Ikkaku comes from a prestigious family while his friend Yumichika was an abandoned child from the streets of Rukongai.[127]

  • Quotes[]

    • (To Ichigo Kurosaki) "Ichigo, is it? That's a nice name. Men with the word Ichi in their names are often powerful and talented."[128]
    • (To Ichigo Kurosaki) "I just can't understand. Even though there's a fair amount of distance between us, when two people are engaged in a fight, only a rookie would remove a hand from his sword."[129]
    • (To Ichigo Kurosaki) "What are you talking about? We're still fighting! One of us will die before it's over! I, Ikkaku Madarame, 3rd Seat of Zaraki's Division, will never walk away from a fight like a coward!"[130]
    • (To Ichigo Kurosaki) "Damn... How could I not die after losing so much blood! What a shame to get saved by the enemy. Damn, if only I could move, I would kill you right now!"[131]
    • (To Tetsuzaemon Iba) "I was never interested in Kidō in the first place. Unlike you, my mom didn't make me a do-it-all kind of guy at birth."[132]
    • (To Renji Abarai) "Idiot. I told you long ago when I taught you how to fight, didn't I? That I have no intention of telling anyone besides you and Yumichika, that I have Bankai. If it got out that I can use Bankai, there'd be others besides you telling me to become a captain. I have no intention of becoming a captain. Becoming a captain would mean that I can't fight under Captain Zaraki. If you wish to surpass Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, then I only have one wish. To fight and die under that man's command."[133]
    • (To Edrad Liones) "You sure have a different way of getting down to business. 'To announce your name and rank' is a custom taught to us when we learn how to fight. It's known as the last courtesy. If a person dies in combat, at least you get to know the name of the one that brought death to you. Third Seat of Zaraki's Division, Ikkaku Madarame. As for the lowlifes who ignore this etiquette, I simply kill them after they know who did them in."[134]
    • (To Edrad Liones) "Cut the flattery. You can stop your admiration. It's only natural to show our true levels of Reiatsu. Whether it is worthy of praise is something you will learn after you die."[135]
    • (To Ichigo Kurosaki) "You're too soft, Ichigo. You really think you're gonna win a fight like this without taking any lives? Finish them off properly! That's how you show respect to the enemy who started this battle."[136]
    • (To Moe Shishigawara) "No man's life is worth more than another! If you're gonna put your life on the line, you do it as equals! I don't care if you're brothers, or master and apprentice, or whatever! You should only die for a guy who'd die for you! There's nothing honorable about throwing your life away as though it's nothing! That's just showing off like a kid!"[137]
