The power of Soul Rescue lies hidden somewhere within Renji, and he must find it in order to use it.Ĭharacters Renji ( レンジ) The main character of the manga. This power enables him to relieve souls of emotional damage and heal physical damage. In order to save the ten thousand souls, God has granted Renji the power of Soul Rescue.
