5. Author's Note

Hey, it's me, mangamaniac02. This chapter is just to clarify what's happened in the past (the Soul Society Arc).

So, everything is pretty much the same, however as you can guess, Ichigo never learned Getsuga Tensho or Bankai and instead got through the Soul Society because of how well he and Zangetsu learned much about each other and bonded through hard work and sweat, working well together as a result, incredibly increasing his fighting abilities (like Ichigo's fight with Kenpachi), as well as the help of Yoruichi and friends to defeat enemies that they came across like Byakuya. However important canon stuff still did happen, such as Uryu losing his Quincy abilities and Ichigo Hollowfying during his battle with Byakuya.

Sorry for the confusion, I began writing this story when the truth behind the mask wasn't revealed yet, so as I read more and tried to incorporate more of the truth it became kind of complex. Hope this helped!
