Renji Abarai is one of the central characters in the Bleach anime. His story, character and abilities were fully revealed in the series. The desire to become better and a difficult childhood made him an interesting hero. You can find out all the information about the personality and abilities of the guy in this article.
Character character
In the anime, Renji Abarai was noticeable for his extravagant character. He was constantly changing depending on the situation he was in. Before the battle with the enemy, the hero is confident in his abilities, shows himself pompous and smug shinigami. When failure fails, he may succumb to despair and apathy. He will no longer be interested in the world around him until he finds another important goal. In life, Renji strides with the dream of one day defeating and surpassing the strength of the captain of the sixth detachment, Byakuya Kuchiki.
Childhood and Shinigami Academy
Renji Abaray spent all his early years in a poor Rukongai district called Inuzuri, where he was forced to survive in poverty in every way with his friends. He and Rukia were always together, it was at this time that they vowed to become strong shinigami and join the units of the Community of Souls. All their friends died for various reasons, but not these two. In the end, for their ability to handle spiritual power, they were noticed and accepted into the Academy.
Harsh training took place day after day, in which they were trained in military skill. The first practical lesson in the fight against the Empty almost ended in death for Abarai, Kira, Rukia and a number of other characters. Aizen Sosuke and his Lieutenant Gin Ichimaru saved the deplorable situation. Since then, they have put all their strength in order to become as strong. At one point, Rukia was admitted to the Kuchiki clan and was appointed an officer of the thirteenth detachment. After this incident, he sought to become a guide of souls and Renji Abarai in order to catch up with his girlfriend, and also once surpass Byakuyu.
Career
In the Bleach anime, the characters have their own story of joining the military units of the Community of Souls, Abarai is no exception. His path began only after the full completion of the Academy. Then he was assigned to the 5th detachment to captain Aizen, along with comrade Kira. After some period, the fighter was transferred to the sixth detachment, where he became the sixth officer and studied the art of battle with Ikaku Madarame. Then he found out that he can use the bank. In training, the man used it often, because with this method Renji was tempered more and more. Forty years have passed since the time when Rukia was adopted into a new family, while Abarai received a new title. He was informed that he was being transferred to the sixth detachment, under the leadership of the same captain Byakui Kuchiki. The rank of Renji Abarai received the lieutenant. Ikaku congratulated his friend and said that now he has become even closer to his cherished dream. It is in this image that he appears for the first time in the anime.
The appearance of the hero
The authors of the anime “Bleach” made the characters as different as possible from each other, so that the users' images evoked certain emotions. Abarai with all his appearance resembles a formidable warrior. Long red hair is always piled back. There is a tattoo on the forehead in the form of interesting linear symbols, which are also on other parts of the body. Often the guy hides the visible part under a small bandage. The facial features are sharp, in the battle it looks bloodthirsty when carried away by the process. It uses a standard black bathrobe as clothing. In her free time, she is replaced by a regular night kimono, while noting that the women from the squad are not averse to seeing him in this form. When Aizen Sosuke was defeated, Abarai changed his appearance. His hair became longer, a wide bandage on his forehead appeared.
Ordinary abilities
It is worth noting that Renji Abarai is a strong shinigami who can try to compete with the captains in skill. In standard form, his zanpakto combines a sword and a whip at the same time. It can stretch over a long distance, strike from different sides and leave lacerations. Abaray often notes that weapons are used as an extension of the body. It does not cost him to bind the enemy to them and crush them. At the same time, the lieutenant understands that the attacks of the sword lose in speed and leave room for a counter-attack. To compensate for this minus, Renji learned the art of Shunpo. This is called instantaneous long-distance travel by touching a foot with any surface. In the application of Kido's magic tricks, he is weak. He has a spell of level 31 in his arsenal, but he can’t quickly cast it. Along with this, the warrior has tremendous physical strength and a supply of spiritual energy, despite the relatively young age of Renji Abaray in the Community of Souls.
Shikai and Bankai
In the combination of the sword and the whip of zanpakto named Zabimaru there is another plus - in the quick possibility of regeneration. If the enemy breaks a weapon, then thanks to spiritual energy, it can be combined and an attack can be made from the most unexpected direction. The same applies to the first form of banking Jihio Zabimaru. Then the sword becomes a huge whip with the head of a snake, which can fire shells of spiritual strength. Although the use of abilities is slow, it is fully compensated by incredible destructive power. The bone segments of a sword in a can are easily destroyed and connected, thanks to the connection of spiritual energy that is controlled by Renji Abaray. There is another type of release of weapons from the lieutenant - Soo Zabimaru. Then a sword appears in the hand with a removable shape, in the other - a large paw of a monkey, the shoulder pads and the outer shell surround and protect the body.
