List of Soul Reapers in Bleach

This is a list of featured in the manga and anime series ''Bleach'', created by Tite Kubo. Soul Reapers are a fictional race of spirits who govern the flow of souls between the human world and the afterlife realm called the ''Soul Society''.

The series tells of how Ichigo Kurosaki becomes a Substitute Soul Reaper in Karakura Town in place of Rukia Kuchiki. He assumes her duties to protect souls and put them to peaceful rest, as well as to fight against dangerous and lost souls unable to find rest, called Hollows.

As the series progresses, Rukia is captured by the Soul Society's Soul Reaper military for giving her powers to Ichigo and sentenced to death. Ichigo and his friends journey to the Soul Society to save her and are forced to fight against many of the Court Guard Squads. Sousuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen—the captains of squads Five, Three, and Nine respectively—eventually defect from the Soul Society at the time of Rukia's rescue, effectively interrupting Ichigo's battles, and enact a plan to gain greater power with the Arrancar. Aizen is brought into focus as the story's main antagonist. However, in the series' final arc, the real main antagonist is revealed to be Yhwach, the son of the Soul King and father of the Quincy.
