Anime Published 14 minutes ago Sign in to your CBR account Over time, the story of Bleach has filled in the missing gaps in its lore by explaining who runs the Soul Society, what the noble families do, and more recently, how zanpakuto themselves came to be. For years, the Bleach anime took zanpakuto for granted as the soul-cutting swords that all Soul Reapers wield.
