What is Mugetsu in Bleach?

‘Mugetsu’ refers to a kind of power unleashed by Ichigo, the main character in the Japanese manga series Bleach.  Fans of this popular manga series are also baffled by what ‘mugetsu’ really means when many witnessed that the character of Ichigo made an attack move against another character named Aizen.  In the said attack, Ichigo mentioned ‘mugetsu,’ and this was also referred to as the ‘final getsuga,’ another power possessed by the main character of the series.  Many fans have also explained that ‘mugetsu’ is referred to as the final getsuga because it also resulted in a loss of some of Ichigo’s powers including the so-called Shinigami power.  By using the mugetsu power, Ichigo was shown to have defeated Aizen with a blackening effect and a powerful energy blast.  In this particular encounter, Aizen was shown to have fallen from the sky after Ichigo used his mugetsu power.
