Bleach 1.04

Cursed Parakeet

Chad gets a talking parakeet from a friend who warns him that is cursed. Chad doesn’t care. He is very tall for a 15-year-old and possesses what seems to be superhuman strength.

Chad, despite being nearly invulnerable, gets hit by a car and is brought in to the Kurosaki clinic by Karin and Yuzu. Ichigo and Rukia immediately sense that there is something sinister at work.

Chad disappears from the clinic. Ichigo and Rukia go looking for him. Ichigo uses an ability that Shinigami possess to figure out where they can find Chad and the parakeet. They spot Chad but he takes off running with the bird.

Ichigo and Rukia split up after they run into Karin. She explains the the parakeet is possessed by the soul of a boy whose mother was killed before his eyes. Ichigo takes Karin home while Rukia follows Chad.

Rukia is attacked by a Hollow before she catches up to Chad and the parakeet. She tries to use Soul Reaper spells on the Hollow but she is still too weak for the spells to have any great effect on the evil spirit.

Thoughts

This episode ends on a cliffhanger. 

Chad finally gets introduced properly. Ichigo amazes Rukia once again with his mastery of the powers that she gave him.

Ichigo does not transform into his Shinigami self or get into any fights. Rukia gets into a fight with a Hollow but she is still unable to transform from human back to Ikigami.

I really like the music in this show. I don’t think I would enjoy the show as much as I do without the music.
