What kind of person is Osho Manako/Ichibe Hyousube?

Ichibe Hyousube is a male Soul Reaper who looks like a daruma, has a skin head, a large beard, and red eyes. He is a Soul Reaper who reigns at the top of Soul Society's Soul Reapers. He is counted as one of Yawach's five special forces, and is considered to be a person of caution with an unknown amount of wisdom. Ichibe is the original Soul Reaper, and since Soul Society has been around for a million years, he is believed to be over a million years old. He is also called Osho Manako(真名呼 和尚), and the meaning of the name Manako is to call one's true name(真名呼), and Osho(和尚) means monk. As the name suggests, Ichibe is the person who gave names to all phenomena and things in Soul Society, such as Zanpakutou, Shikai, Bankai, etc. Therefore, Ichibe's ability seems to be to know all the events in the three worlds, and he can also tell that Renji Abarai's Zanpakutou's true name and that Shusui Kyoraku gave Ichigo's classmate a Soul Society pass.

Ichibe was born as a pillar of God, and it is said in the novel version of BLEACH Can't Fear Your Own World that he was close friends with Reiou before he became Soul King. Ichibe has lived for a million years, so there are scenes where it seems like his sense of ethics is broken. Old and immortal characters that often appear in anime and manga have lived for a long time, so some of them lack a sense of ethics. For example, elves and vampires have no hesitation in killing people. Ichibe is one of them, and he doesn't feel particularly sad or hesitant about people dying, and seems to just go to the convenience store sense. The psychopath-like face he shows from time to time will scare anyone.

It is also said that Zangetsu, Ichigo's Zanpakutou, tried to tell him his name, but was unable to do so due to Ichibe's ability, and was interfering with Ichigo and Yawach at this point. Ichigo can be both a Soul Reaper and a Quincy. It seems that Zangetsu (Yawach) did not want Ichigo to become a Soul Reaper, but it was later revealed by the author's story that Ichibe's interference prevented Yawach's plan.

Ichibe was feared by Quincy as a special force, but is also feared by Soul Reapers.

There is no doubt that he will be reliable if he becomes our ally. But if you make him angry, it's over.

About Osho Manako Zanpakutou

Shikai : Ichimonji (一文字)

Ichibe zanpakutou
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Ichibe's Zanpakutou takes the shape of a brush when activated. This Zanpakutou's ability is to halve the names of the things it touches, and the names and powers of the things it touches also become half. For example, during the fight with Yawach, this Zanpakutou was touched on Yawach's arm, and the name of the arm was cut in half. (Arms → Ar : Ude”腕” → ”う” ) Trigger commands is "Blacken(Kuromeyo 黒めよ)". The name "Ichimonji(一文字)" of this Zanpakutou means one character.

Digging deeper into this Zanpakuto's ability, it turns out that instead of halving the opponent's power, Ichibe controls the target that this Zanpakutou paints black with ink. It also has the power to control the black things of this world and the next world, and can control not only black objects but also black concepts. For example, death, darkness, nothingness, space, night, etc. In the story, Ichibe sacrificed 100 years worth of nights from Soul Society to attack Yawach. That Technique name is Futentaisatsuryo ”不転太殺陵”

Ichibe ability
(Quote : BLEACH anime Futentaisatsuryo ”不転太殺陵”)

Soul Reaper's black costume seems to be black so that he can respond when he goes against Ichibe, and everything is according to Ichibe's plan.

Ichibe hide royal Palace
(Quote : BLEACH anime 「隠」 means "hide".)

Ichibe used this Zanpakutou ability to hide the Reiou Palace. In the story, Ichibe seems to be able to temporarily erase objects by simply writing the word "hide" on them.

His Zanpakutou has stronger abilities than Genryusai, and it is said that no Soul Reaper stronger than Genryusai was born in 1000 years, but Ichie was born before that, so Ichibe can actually be said to be the strongest Soul Reaper.

It's a Zanpakutou-like ability like a brush.

Ichibe may also have the ability to cause the meaning of the word simply by writing letters.

Bankai : Shin'uchi Shirahude Ichimonji("真打" 白ふで一文字)

Shin’uchi is the oldest name of Bankai. For Shirahude Ichimonji, the ink that was black for Shikai's Ichimonji is now white. This ability of Bankai is the opposite of Shikai's, in that it can fill in the name of the object it touches with white ink and give it a new name. And you can exert the same power as the name given to target. In the story, Yawach was given a new name, ``Black Ant,'' and Yawach was significantly weakened.

With this ability, even the strongest Genryusai among the Gotei13 can't win.

Ichibe is the strongest because he has lived for a million years and has this Zanpakutou.

What is Osho Manako Battle Record?

Tessai Tsukabishi's Battle Record
OpponentsResults
VS YawachLOSE

Ichibe Hyousube's Battle Record is 1 lose. Even though Ichibe has the strongest ability in the story, Yawach's omnipotent ability awakens and he loses. It was only a matter of time before Yawach's ability awakened, but it seems that Yawach was able to buy time and succeed in awakening his ability. This seemed like a pretty risky bet.

Ichibe's body is torn to pieces and killed by Yawach, but he revives when Ichigo calls his name. It was later revealed that Squad 0 has a soul connection with the Soul King, and even if they die, they will be revived if the annex of the Spirit King's Palace remains.

Ichibe seems to have overcome many crises with this.
Even though Ichibe have Zanpakutou and Wisdom abilities, immortality also is too much of a cheat.
