Lineage Piece Ichigo Guide: Zangetsu, Bankai Farm & Mastery
Ichigo Content Map
Ichigo shows up three ways:
- The Ichigo NPC sells Zangetsu (Epic): 500K coins & 1K gems — the Shinigami starter path.
- Ichigo (Bankai) is a Lv.4000 mob on Hueco Mundo dropping the Hollow Mask (0.1%), Substitute Shinigami title (0.1%) and Tainted Soul Pills — the gate to Tensa Zangetsu.
- The ICHIGOGOAT code — the current update’s level-100 code (codes page).
The Shinigami Build Path
Zangetsu → Tensa Zangetsu → (optionally) the Bleach Mythical band. The Shinigami race (Legendary, 1%: +15% sword damage, +20% HP) is the tribe bonus; Tensa’s mastery even requires it. From there the band escalates to Yhwach via the Quincy side or Aizen via True Shinigami.
Farming Ichigo (Bankai)
He shares Hueco Mundo with Hollows and Arrancars, so a single grinding session feeds three chains: Hollow Masks + titles (Ichigo), Slime Orbs (1% from the hollows), and Aizen spawn credit (every 50 Hollow kills = 1 Aizen summon).

How do I get Ichigo in Lineage Piece?
There is no Ichigo melee; the Ichigo content is the Zangetsu sword (Ichigo NPC, Hueco Mundo, 500,000 coins + 1,000 gems), the Tensa Zangetsu upgrade, and the Ichigo (Bankai) mob and Vizard Ichigo boss you farm for them.
How do I get Tensa Zangetsu and its mastery?
Tensa Zangetsu NPC (Hueco Mundo): own Zangetsu, kill Ichigo (Bankai) 50 times, then 1 Hollow Mask + 600,000 coins + 2,000 gems. Mastery: equip the Substitute Shinigami title, be Shinigami race, kill 150 Hollows, defeat Ichigo (Bankai) 30 times — the R mastery move adds +40% Tensa Zangetsu damage.
How do I get the Substitute Shinigami title?
It drops from the Ichigo (Bankai) mob (Lv.4000) at 0.1% — ~1,000 kills expected, the same odds as the Hollow Mask from the same mob.
How do I get the Tainted Soul Pill?
It is listed as an Ichigo (Bankai) drop with no rate given on the board. It is used at the Aizen Summoner (1 pill + 50 Summon Cores + 50K coins + 750 gems) to spawn Vizard Ichigo.
What does Vizard Ichigo drop?
Ichigo's Outfit 1.25%, Broken Vizard Mask 2.5%, The Vasto Rage title 3%, Zangetsu's Despair 5%, Corrupted Reiatsu 9%, Hollow's Instinct 23% (17.6M HP). Those four materials (3 / 5 / 12 / 35) unlock Inner Hueco Mundo. See Vasto Lorde.
