Ichigo Kurosaki proves to be more capable that he was letting on in the newest chapter of manga series "Bleach." In the recently released Chapter 675 titled "Blood for My Bone," readers will gain more insight about Ichigo's strategy as he continues to battle Yhwach.

In the previously released Chapter 674 titled "Father 2," Ichigo appeared to be on the losing side of the battle with Yhwach. Ichigo could not overcome Yhwach's dark energy and was seen recklessly attacking without any purpose. Yhwach had told Ichigo not to waste his energy as he will die anyway. Yhwach, for his part, turned off The Almighty — his ability to see into the future — to savor his battle with Ichigo.

The battle continues in Chapter 675. Ichigo tries once more to rush toward Yhwach but is stopped by Orihime. She tries to calm him down but is forced to let go after Ichigo looks at her knowingly. Ichigo attacks once more but is blocked by Yhwach's dark energy. Yhwach begins to suspect why Ichigo is not channeling his abilities.

Orihime tries to cover Ichigo with a combo move. While Yhwach chides Orihime for needlessly protecting Ichigo, this latest move finally allows Ichigo to gain the upper hand in the battle.

Apparently, Ichigo's recklessness was part of his strategy all along. He needed Yhwach's attacks to awaken something stronger inside of him. Ichigo is engulfed by an overpowering explosion of energy and he transforms into a new form that bears the same characteristics as his full Hollow form. Yhwach now realizes that Ichigo's true plan had been. Unfortunately, it's all too late.

It's been a few years since readers have seen Ichigo's Hollow powers so this latest development will surely be an exciting moment for the manga readers. Ichigo's newly formed shinigami-quincy-hollow powers preview more exciting chapters to come.
