One of the first challenges Team Ichigo had to face was a giant guard named Jidanbo. Wielding his two giant-@$$ axes, it seemed that Team Ichigo's rescuing of Rukia wasn't going to be easy. With various Lieutenant & Captain-level Shinigami, Team Ichigo was unaware of the giant guards that stood before them. However, since Jidanbo became Ichigo's first opponent in the Seireitei, Ichigo quickly dealt with him as seen in the picture. However, the surprising part is that Jidanbo wasn't bad ~ he was just doing his job as gatekeeper. He applauded Team Ichigo and even was about to let them enter, but Team Ichigo reached an impasse the moment then 3rd division Captain Gin Ichimaru fatally injured Jidanbo, making it difficult to now pass through the gate & leaving Ichigo & our friends to find another way to enter. In a nutshell ~ Jidanbo was the stepping stone into the Soul Society & would become one of Ichigo's allies since he showed compassion & understanding to the gentle giant. Ichigo's strength over time only grew as he faced off against various opponents and came out on top. Facing Jidanbo, like I said, was a test and Ichigo easily passed. It showcases above all else that heroes, in the face of adversity, can forge bonds with the enemy to in order to prevent any more bloodshed from being spilt. Ichigo was able to befriend Renji, Ikkaku, Kenpachi, & most of all ~ Byakuya, the very man who imprisoned Rukia and her older brother. From the Gentle Giant to Captain-level Shinigami, Ichigo's journey, with all stories, has to start from the bottom up to get where he is now, fighting off against the Father of the Quincy ~ Yhwach.
I hope you enjoyed this week's Throwback. Look froward to Throwbacks every Friday. Until then, you all stay classy now.
