In the world ofBleach, there are three main powers that often oppose one another. The Shinigami who reside in Soul Society, the Quincy who often live either on earth orin their Wandenreich, and lastly, the Hollow who either appeared on Earth or roamed their own dimension, the Hueco Mundo. What most people may not realize, however, is the fact that there are other special beings who hide themselves in plain sight while carefully building enough power to achieve their ambition. They are called the Fullbringers, and this is everything that you need to know about them.

Who Are The Fullbringer
Every object, no matter the size or what type of object it is, has a soul.The Fullbringer are humans who have a high-affinity with the soulsof inanimate objects. A Fullbringer can not only see and feel those souls, but they can also manipulate it to some extent. This unique ability allowed them to control the objects so that it can display all kinds of useful effects, such as moving the water in a glass without touching it or manipulate the land where they stand in such a way so that it can help them jump higher or run faster.
Fullbringer is not a teachable skill, because there is a specific condition that differentiate a potential Fullbringers from a regular human. When a woman is attacked by a Hollow and survives, there will bea trace of Hollow’s powerreside within her, which later on will be passed on to her child. The child that is born with that Hollow’s power are those who can be a Fullbringer. That is why Fullbringers powers are closer to a Hollow than to a shinigami.
While a Fullbringer can manipulate the souls of every inanimate object, the effect is even greater if that object has a special place in their heart. Be it affection, pride, or any other kind of emotions, as long as there’s a strong feeling attached to that object, then a Fullbringer can display all kinds of powerful effects, such as a pendant that can turn into a large claymore or a gaming console that can affect reality.
