Bleach: Starting as a Vasto Lorde

In this alternate take on Bleach, we begin with Ichigo as a Vasto Lorde—a powerful, rare class of Hollow with immense strength. Awakening in Hueco Mundo, he grapples with fragmented memories of his past life as a human and Soul Reaper. Driven by an insatiable hunger for power and clarity, he forms alliances with other Hollows, rising to challenge Hueco Mundo's brutal hierarchy. Along the way, he battles inner conflicts between his Hollow instincts and lingering humanity, setting him on a dark, morally complex path toward Aizen and the Soul Society.
