Bleach Attire Guide - White Kimono

Worn by: Soul Reaper who are recovering

The White Kimono is what appears when the Soul Reaper is weak. When the Soul Reaper is unable to battle due to losing too much power or losing all of their power as a Soul Reaper, their Black Kimono will be replaced with this. It is a sign that the Soul Reaper is in the stage of restoration, awaiting for their power to become strong again. Whilst in this form, they cannot fight and their Zanpaku-to will dissapear and will not re-appear until their owner is restored. When the time comes, the White Kimono will vanish and be replaced by the Black one once more.

First Appearance: Manga Chapter 001, Anime Episode 001
