Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World/Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World III

Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World III is the third edition of a three volume series of Bleach novels by Ryohgo Narita that centers on Shūhei Hisagi.

Opening
Hikone Ubuginu recalls the first moment they came into existence, waking up and having no memories at all, not of a childhood nor of a past life. Yet despite that, Hikone was created by fusing thousands of soul pieces together. Fragments of Hollows, Humans, and Shinigami; even Quincy that lived thousands of years ago and fragments of the Soul King. However, due to this unnatural and paradoxical existence, Hikone's body could not keep itself together, not until Tokinada Tsunayashiro collected a "piece" of the Soul King strong enough to force the others together. It was this specific piece that gave Hikone their first memory, in the form of a dream. A dream of being imprisoned.

While Hikone was an individual with their own feelings and desires, the countless and varying Souls that composed Hikone did as well causing an unmatched chaos within Hikone's psyche. Some pieces were misanthropes, while yet others were philanthropes, and one specific one yearned for bloodshed and detested all the others. However, thanks to Tokinada's guidance, Hikone was able to maintain dominance of their own existence due to a desire to become a beloved King for Tokinada. Likewise, Tokinada taught Hikone the necessity of bloodshed, which could satisfy his more violent components.
