If you’ve been running around Rock Fruit wondering how to get your hands on Ichigo’s Vasto Lorde form, you’re in the right place. In this guide, I’m going over everything you need to unlock him, where to find the NPC, what items you’ll need (yes, Orb Hollow grind included), and how wild his transformation really is. He’s flashy, powerful, and honestly one of the coolest characters added to the game so far. Whether you’re trying to flex on bosses or just want that iconic Getsuga Tensho, stick around!
Ichigo Vastolorde Guide & Showcase
To start unlocking Ichigo (Vasto Lorde), you’ll first need to locate the Ichigo NPC. You can find him chilling on Event Island, just like most of the newly added weapons and NPC’s like Aizen V2. He’s on top on one of the rainbow-colored buildings on the right side of the island.
To unlock Ichigo, you’re going to need three key items:
- Orb Quincy: You can farm Orb Quincies by defeating Event Mobs on Event Island. Just grind it out, these drop pretty regularly, and you’ll want to stack up a few just in case.
- Hollow Mask: This one’s a bit trickier. Crafting the Hollow Mask has a 15% success rate, but if luck isn’t on your side, the NPC guarantees it after 15 attempts. Orb Hollow is the grindy part, but stay consistent and you’ll get there. To craft a Hollow Mask, you’ll need:
- A Skull Mask (can be found in Sea 1 or inside chests)
- An Orb Hollow (Orb Soul + Orb Evolution) – 10% chance success rate.
- Soul Reaper Badge: This one’s all about luck. You’ll need to farm it on the Chest Gacha until you pull the Soul Reaper Badge. RNG is RNG, but it’s not too rare, just keep looting and you’ll snag one.
Each one takes a bit of effort, but none of it’s out of reach. Once you’ve gathered all three items, head back to the NPC and buy Ichigo. As a bonus, you’ll also unlock the Reaper title, drippy and pretty powerful.
Ichigo Vastolorde Moveset & Transformation
Let’s talk about his base form before the real heat. Ichigo comes with four moves, and while they’re not meta-defining, they’re definitely fun. The real MVP here is his C move, Getsuga Tensho. It’s clean, it’s iconic, and it looks insane. Pressing F will activate his transformation, and that’s where the madness begins.

Your M1s turn into massive slashes, and your abilities go from cool to completely busted. I mean, just look at the visuals below! You become a literal powerhouse. Time your transformation right and you’ll obliterate any mob in your path.
Is Ichigo Vastolorde Worth the Grind?
Here’s the honest take: Ichigo Vasto Lorde is one of the best additions to Rock Fruit so far. The form is strong, flashy, and just straight-up fun. Now, if we’re talking pure meta, Aizen V2 might edge Ichigo out a bit due to his health regeneration, which gives him way more sustain in longer fights. But visuals + raw power? Ichigo’s transformation is peak. Now, can he One-Shot Bosses? Yes, Ichigo Vasto Lorde can one-shot the Boss Island bosses. You just have to time your combo and transformation right. While it might not work on world bosses consistently, it still melts through them with ease.
