awareness already, the moment her sword touches his soul, he takes virtually all of her power, transforming him into a shinigami.
After this, he is given the role of a shinigami to protect those who are being attacked by hollows, which usually means protecting/fighting
against people he already knows. Over a short period of time, Ichigo has shown that he has been able to do many things that
no human should be able to do, such as fight at the level he does, as well as be able to see spiritual aura in a physical
