Talk:Masaki Kurosaki

Pure blood
Not sure why this isn't even mentioned on Mrs. Kurosaki's wiki page; she's a shinigami. Otherwise the translation for Bleach episode 111 part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eahsJ7ZteZ8) was incorrect; Grand Fisher: "I see. With a Shinigami for a father, Kurosaki Ichigo is of pure blood". Key word being "pure blood", not half blood. That means Masaki Kurosaki was a shinigami even though we have not seen her in a shinigami uniform or representing herself as a shinigami (so far in the anime).

If someone wants to bring up the fact that I'm spoiling an episode for someone, this was already done in Bleach episode 111 when the Grand Fisher said what he said. The only way it'd be a spoiler is if you completely skipped episode 111 or the entire season 6.

And if this was Harry Potter that line of reasoning would make perfect sense. In the manga, Grand Fisher while fighting Ichigo said he couldn't remember what happened six year ago, he couldn't remember Ichigo's mother. He then used his feelers (yuck) on Ichigo and read his memory to create the lure in the image of Ichigo's mother. There is NO proof that Grand Fisher ever remembered who he ate that day six years ago. Therefore, we can only conclude that pure blood comment was directed only at Isshin. I.e. just by having a Shinigami as a father, Ichigo becomes a "born Shinigami" like Byakuya, Kira, Ukitake, Soifon, Yoruichi, Kyoraku and anyone else who was born into Seireitei from Shinigami parents or at least nobles with spiritual powers. This is different from people who climbed out of Rokongai like Gin, Rangiku, Rukia, Hitsugaya etc, etc. Until and unless we are told that Masaki is a Shinigami, she remains just a human.
