Yasutora Sado

Yasutora Sado, also known as Chad, is one of the main characters from the Bleach series.
== Charactah Account ==
A huge, quiet man, Chad is Ichigo's oldest friend. As a young child, he was a bully until his grandfather taught him to raise his fist only to protect instead of hurt. Chad therefore vowed to his grandfather that he'd never fight for selfish reasons, not even to protect himself from bullies. His friendship with Ichigo began when Ichigo intervened to protect him from bullies and offered Chad a deal: Ichigo would protect Chad if Chad protected him. Chad has protected Ichigo's back ever since.
Chad began to develop spiritual awareness while helping Rukia fight Shrieker, a Hollow that had killed a young boy whose spirit Chad was trying to help. This didn't properly manifest into usable power until he saved Ichigo's sister Karin from the Hollow attacks that had been instigated by Uryuu's conflict with Ichigo. His power manifested as a Fullbring, Brazo Derecha de Gigante, encasing his right arm in armor, vastly increasing his fighting strength and granting him the ability to fire energy blasts. He later improved his Fullbring, unlocking Brazo Izquierda del Diablo, encasing his left arm in armor capable of delivering a powerful energy-infused punch.
