Uryu Ishida

**Uryu Ishida**, was a former intergalactic criminal and a member of the Soul Guardians. He sought revenge on the Klaxisaur Princess for killing his mentor, and went on a rampage across the galaxy, ending with him being imprisoned by the Shinigami in Hell. There Uryu became uneasy allies with Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, and Chad. Together they broke out of Hell and became embroiled in the Quest for the Orb. After the Battle of the Soul Society, in which he finally exacted his vengeance on the Klaxisaur Princess, Uryu left the Soul Society with the other Guardians but not before declaring Omega Shenron as his next target.

Following the Guardians, Uryu assisted in killing a monster for the Kais, only for Renji to betray them. Uryu followed the Guardians as they encountered Papa, the long lost father of Ichigo. Along the way he developed a close bond with Orihime, who soon revealed that Papa's true plan was to destroy and rebuild the entire universe. Uryu and his fellow Guardians defeated Papa, saving the galaxy once more but at the cost of Kenpachi's self-sacrifice.

Four years later, the Soul Guardians joined up with Son Goku and the Jump Force in trying to stop Omega Shenron from obtaining the Dragon Balls. When Omega Shenron gathered all of the Balls, he used them to eradicate half the universe's population, including Uryu and the Guardians, except Renji and Byakuya.

## Abilities

**Antithesis** (完全反立(アンチサーシス), *Anchisāshisu*; Japanese for "*Perfect Anti-Setup*"): Uryū can designate any two targets and completely reverse anything that has already occurred between the two of them. For example, if Uryū were to be greatly injured while fighting an opponent, he could reverse what occurred between himself and his enemy, simultaneously healing himself while grievously wounding his opponent.

**Reishi Manipulation**: As a Quincy, he primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it with his own spiritual energy to form weapons. He has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. He can manipulate spiritual energy for offensive purposes. Uryū commonly reshapes spiritual particles into various types of bow and arrows, but can also concentrate spiritual energy into the form of swords or Gintō.

**Gintō Expert**: He is able to use the spiritual energy stored in the silver tubes to create similar effects to Kidō; Uryū can even use his own energy, rather than the energy stored in the silver tube.

**Master Archer**: When a Quincy becomes more skilled using their Bow and Heilig Pfeil, they gain more power and precision with their arrows. This is similar to how a marksman gains skill and hits the target more frequently. Uryū Ishida has greatly increased his power and skill throughout his association with Ichigo Kurosaki, and is a prime example of this growth. He has great accuracy, able to instantly kill Hollows with one arrow.

**Excellent Intellect & Athleticism**: Aside from his Quincy powers, Uryū is well-trained in both body and mind, having substantial athletic abilities and a genius intellect. He uses his intelligence to find weak points in his opponents, even overcoming disadvantages he has through thinking on his feet.

**Medical Knowledge**: Having graduated medical school and become a doctor, Uryū is well-versed in medicine.
