| − | Yasutora Sado (Japanese: 茶渡 泰虎, Hepburn: Sado Yasutora) was a male human born in Okinawa, Japan, where from a young age his parents took him to Mexico. After their deaths, he came to be adopted at 8 years old by '''Oscar Joaquín de la Rosa''' who Sado called him ''Abuelo'' (Spanish: "Grandfather"). During his early years, he was noted to had been extremely violent where he exploited his large size to intimidate any child that annoyed him. His grandfather had tried to teach Sado to be more gentle but his initial efforts were unsuccessful. One day, the fathers of the children bullied by Sado decided to punish him and attacked him as a result. This led to Oscar Joaquín stepping in where he took the punishment without any retaliation. Witnessing this act came to inspire Sado who looked to follow his grandfather in becoming a decent person. To commemorate this event, his grandfather gave him an old Mexican coin that served as a treasured item for Sado. Later on, Oscar Joaquín came to pass away leading to Sado taking a vow to never fight unless it was to protet others. This was to the case that he would do so even if his own life was n danger with the coin being a reminder and symbol of his vow. Afterwards, De la Rosa died leading to Chad moving back to Japan where he came to be enrolled at '''Mashiba Junior High School''' at [[Karakura Town]]. In the 8th grade, he helped [[Ichigo Kurosaki]] when the latter was attacked by thugs. Later on, Chad himself was attacked by two of Yokochini's gang members and keeping with his vow he did not strike back or defend himself. However, Ichigo intervened and saved him where he came to learn much about Chad's past including his vows. Unknown to either Chad or Ichigo, one of the fleeing gang members had let their phone on which was on a call to Yokochini who overheard Sado's past allowing him to know what to provoke him. This saw Yokochini abducting Chad and threatening to destroy the coin in his possession in an effort to provoke a reaction from him. Once again though, Ichigo arrived at the scene this time to protect not only Chad but also the coin he held so dear. When the gang was defeated, Chad and Ichigo made a pact to fight for each other and protect one another. | + | [[File:BleachV1-5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yasutora Sado in Bleach v1 #5.]] |

This saw the pair often getting into fights with thugs and delinquents leading to them gaining a reputation for being hardened thugs themselves. In fact, their reputation led to them being portrayed as violent youths and made them appear to be juvenile gangsters. Later on, Sado and Kurosaki came to attend their first day of high school when they were forced to run from a gang of thugs led by '''Reiichi Ōshima''' who was hellbent on proving his reputation by beating up the menacing duo. After being befriended by '''Mizuiro Kojima''', Reiichi decided to instead start bullying '''Keigo Asano''' forcing Chad and Ichigo to beat up Ōshima. | ||

| + | At some point, Sado was offered a cockatiel by his friends, but he was told that it was a cursed cockatiel whose previous owners have all died horrible deaths. Just as he takes it, a girder falls on the group and it falls on top of Sado's back. The bird suddenly begins talking as if it understands the situation, so Sado begins conversing with it. Later as Ichigo Kurosaki is about to get into a fight with Reiichi Ōshima, Sado intervenes and pushes Reiichi away. Sado's friends notice his injuries and Sado explains what happened to him. Sado then shows the group his new cockatiel, but he does not explain where he got it from. Later, an injured Sado arrives at the Kurosaki Clinic along with his cockatiel. However, Sado claims that he's fine and tries to leave, but he ends up collapsing on the ground before getting anywhere, and he begins resting in bed. Sado then leaves the hospital without telling anyone. He reappears in an abandoned warehouse with his cockatiel, but they're suddenly attacked by something and Sado begins running away with his bird, while telling the bird that he'll save his mother. As soon as he comes outside, Sado notices Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo and he begins running from them. He stops running though when he notices that Rukia is in trouble and he goes back to help. He immediately punches the invisible threat, named Shrieker, surprising Rukia. Rukia then warns Sado that Shrieker is flying, but Sado doesn't see it as a problem as he picks up a telephone pole and uses it to slam Shrieker into the ground. Sado and Rukia are suddenly forced into the ground by Shrieker's "artillery", but Sado simply uses his brute strength to get them off. Sado then helps out Rukia just as Shrieker flies into the air again. However, Sado launches Rukia into the air, but she's stopped by Shrieker's miniature bombs. Shrieker then brings out Sado's cockatiel and threatens to kill the bird if Sado moves, so Rukia is forced to fight alone. Later, Sado notices that Ichigo's body is on the ground, but Rukia explains that Ichigo is in the middle of a battle and she tells him to take his body and the cockatiel away. After the battle is over and it's revealed that the cockatiel was actually a kid, the cockatiel thanks Sado for everything, and just before he is sent to Soul Society Sado tells him that if they meet in Soul Society he would carry him around one more time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | During school, Sado shows his friends his cockatiel again, but they notice that it has a smaller vocabulary. Sado simply claimed that the bird was like this when he woke up. Later, Sado goes with his friends to Don Kanonji's show. While there Sado hears a strange voice, but Keigo Asano tells him that it was just his imagination. As the show goes on, Ichigo gets captured by security and Sado tries to help him, but Keigo stops him. After Don Kanonji's show, Sado and the rest of his classmates that were at the show are yelled at by Kagine for causing such a ruckus at the show. Rukia distracts Kagine, allowing Sado and the others escape through a window. Later Sado gets attacked by a Hollow named Bulbous G, and he runs away to lead the Hollow away from the area. Unfortunately, he ends up running into Karin Kurosaki, Ichigo's sister, and this forces Sado to protect her. Sado, being unable to see the Hollow, decides to have Karin help him by having her be his eyes. As the battle goes on Sado recalls that his fists are meant for protecting, and this causes armor to form around his right arm and allows him to gain the advantage. Sado, now being able to see the Hollow, kills his enemy immediately with his new-found power. Sado then collapsed onto the ground and wonders why he gained this power, but decides it did not matter and is simply glad Ichigo's sister did not get hurt. Sado later appeared with Orihime Inoue at the Urahara Shop, and Kisuke Urahara prepares to explain how they got their new-found powers. Urahara explains about Hollows and Shinigami, but Sado and Orihime have a difficult time believing him. Urahara then tells them that Ichigo's large amount of Reiatsu leaked onto them and that caused them to gain their powers, and that these powers are what they naturally had to begin with. Urahara then states that it was up to them if they want to continue down this path with their powers, and decides to show them the enemies that they would have to face in the future. Sado and Orihime then watch from a distance Ichigo and Uryū Ishida battling a Menos Grande. This causes the two of them to wonder what choice they should make. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After Rukia was taken back to Soul Society to be executed, a cat named Yoruichi Shihōin goes up to Orihime and Sado and offered to train the two of them so they can rescue her. Sado and Orihime then go up to Uryū and ask him if he'll train with them as well, but he declined. The two then begin training and try to bring out their new powers again. After successfully doing this, the two leave and prepare to go to Soul Society. On the day they decide to leave for Soul Society, Sado, Ichigo, Orihime, and Uryū arrive at the Urahara Shop. After Urahara explains how to get into Soul Society, Yoruichi leads the group into the Dangai, and they're told to run as fast as they can. Sado and the others are soon chased by the Kōtotsu, so Orihime uses her shield to protect them from the Kōtotsu and the group is propelled through the exit and into Soul Society. | ||

Biography
Yasutora Sado (Japanese: 茶渡 泰虎, Hepburn: Sado Yasutora) was a male human born in Okinawa, Japan, where from a young age his parents took him to Mexico. After their deaths, he came to be adopted at 8 years old by Oscar Joaquín de la Rosa who Sado called him Abuelo (Spanish: "Grandfather"). During his early years, he was noted to had been extremely violent where he exploited his large size to intimidate any child that annoyed him. His grandfather had tried to teach Sado to be more gentle but his initial efforts were unsuccessful. One day, the fathers of the children bullied by Sado decided to punish him and attacked him as a result. This led to Oscar Joaquín stepping in where he took the punishment without any retaliation. Witnessing this act came to inspire Sado who looked to follow his grandfather in becoming a decent person. To commemorate this event, his grandfather gave him an old Mexican coin that served as a treasured item for Sado. Later on, Oscar Joaquín came to pass away leading to Sado taking a vow to never fight unless it was to protet others. This was to the case that he would do so even if his own life was n danger with the coin being a reminder and symbol of his vow. Afterwards, De la Rosa died leading to Chad moving back to Japan where he came to be enrolled at Mashiba Junior High School at Karakura Town. In the 8th grade, he helped Ichigo Kurosaki when the latter was attacked by thugs. Later on, Chad himself was attacked by two of Yokochini's gang members and keeping with his vow he did not strike back or defend himself. However, Ichigo intervened and saved him where he came to learn much about Chad's past including his vows. Unknown to either Chad or Ichigo, one of the fleeing gang members had let their phone on which was on a call to Yokochini who overheard Sado's past allowing him to know what to provoke him. This saw Yokochini abducting Chad and threatening to destroy the coin in his possession in an effort to provoke a reaction from him. Once again though, Ichigo arrived at the scene this time to protect not only Chad but also the coin he held so dear. When the gang was defeated, Chad and Ichigo made a pact to fight for each other and protect one another. This saw the pair often getting into fights with thugs and delinquents leading to them gaining a reputation for being hardened thugs themselves. In fact, their reputation led to them being portrayed as violent youths and made them appear to be juvenile gangsters. Later on, Sado and Kurosaki came to attend their first day of high school when they were forced to run from a gang of thugs led by Reiichi Ōshima who was hellbent on proving his reputation by beating up the menacing duo. After being befriended by Mizuiro Kojima, Reiichi decided to instead start bullying Keigo Asano forcing Chad and Ichigo to beat up Ōshima.
At some point, Sado was offered a cockatiel by his friends, but he was told that it was a cursed cockatiel whose previous owners have all died horrible deaths. Just as he takes it, a girder falls on the group and it falls on top of Sado's back. The bird suddenly begins talking as if it understands the situation, so Sado begins conversing with it. Later as Ichigo Kurosaki is about to get into a fight with Reiichi Ōshima, Sado intervenes and pushes Reiichi away. Sado's friends notice his injuries and Sado explains what happened to him. Sado then shows the group his new cockatiel, but he does not explain where he got it from. Later, an injured Sado arrives at the Kurosaki Clinic along with his cockatiel. However, Sado claims that he's fine and tries to leave, but he ends up collapsing on the ground before getting anywhere, and he begins resting in bed. Sado then leaves the hospital without telling anyone. He reappears in an abandoned warehouse with his cockatiel, but they're suddenly attacked by something and Sado begins running away with his bird, while telling the bird that he'll save his mother. As soon as he comes outside, Sado notices Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo and he begins running from them. He stops running though when he notices that Rukia is in trouble and he goes back to help. He immediately punches the invisible threat, named Shrieker, surprising Rukia. Rukia then warns Sado that Shrieker is flying, but Sado doesn't see it as a problem as he picks up a telephone pole and uses it to slam Shrieker into the ground. Sado and Rukia are suddenly forced into the ground by Shrieker's "artillery", but Sado simply uses his brute strength to get them off. Sado then helps out Rukia just as Shrieker flies into the air again. However, Sado launches Rukia into the air, but she's stopped by Shrieker's miniature bombs. Shrieker then brings out Sado's cockatiel and threatens to kill the bird if Sado moves, so Rukia is forced to fight alone. Later, Sado notices that Ichigo's body is on the ground, but Rukia explains that Ichigo is in the middle of a battle and she tells him to take his body and the cockatiel away. After the battle is over and it's revealed that the cockatiel was actually a kid, the cockatiel thanks Sado for everything, and just before he is sent to Soul Society Sado tells him that if they meet in Soul Society he would carry him around one more time.
During school, Sado shows his friends his cockatiel again, but they notice that it has a smaller vocabulary. Sado simply claimed that the bird was like this when he woke up. Later, Sado goes with his friends to Don Kanonji's show. While there Sado hears a strange voice, but Keigo Asano tells him that it was just his imagination.

Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Yasutora Sado was a male human of Mexican and Japanese descent with dark-skin and pronounced cheek-bones as well as wavy brown hair that had bangs that generally hung over his brown eyes. He had a muscular frame and was noted to be an extremely tall man that made him appear older than his actual age. Sado had a tattoo on his left shoulder which read as Amore e Morte ("love and death" in Italian) with this consisting of a heart that had a snake and angel wings around it. Ichigo first came to read Yasutora's name off a nametag where he pronounced his family name as Chad (チャド, Chado).
As a quiet person, he came to be the subject of jokes or bullying because he never fought back.
It was shown that he had a weakness for cute things such as small animals. This extended to Kon with Chad being one of the few people who actually treated the Mod Soul with any dignity but for the most part ignored him.
However, because of his constant involvement with gangsters, Chad gained a reputation as a ruthless gangster himself.
Chad was shown as being a loyal person who stood by his friends.
He did not enjoy finishing off a enemy that had lost the will to fight. Sado had said that it did not sit right with him to do so but against certain foes he could not allow himself to feel pity for an opponent.
His grandfather was Oscar Joaquín De la Rosa (オスカー・ホアキン・デ・ラ・ロサ, Osukā Hoakin De ra Rosa) who came to raise his grandson in their native Mexico following the death of Yasutora's parents.
One of his closest friends was Ichigo Kurosaki (黒崎 一護, Kurosaki Ichigo) who was a fellow student at Karakura High School. He and Ichigo had a long time friendship after the two having met each other whilst fighting off a group of bullies. Since then both decided to fight together with Chad becoming determined to train to become stronger in order to aid Ichigo in his fights. Chad had said that if Ichigo did something to put his life on the line then that was reason enough to support his friend.
Powers and abilities
Chad was shown as being very intelligent having ranked 11th out of 322 students in Karakura High School.

It was only after his encounter with the cockateel containing the soul of Yūichi Shibata that he began to detect the approximate locations of spirits and Hollows though he could not fully see them.
Chad came to be a spiritually aware human that were known as Fullbringers (完現術者 （フルブリンガー）, Furuburingā; Japanese for "Full Manifestation Artist"). Their Fullbring (完現術 (フルブリング), Furuburingu; Japanese for "Full Manifestation Art") power allowed them to manipulate the soul that resided within matter.

After his encounter with the supernatural, Sato came to develop a powerful that was referred to as Brazo Derecha de Gigante (巨人の右腕 (ブラソ・デレチャ・デ・ヒガンテ), Buraso Derecha de Higante; Spanish and Japanese for "Right Arm of the Giant") (Brazo Derecho del Gigante in the English dub and English manga). At first, it was thought that this power manifested following his encounter with the spiritual form of Ichigo Kurosaki on a regular basis. This led to he belief that this brought out Sado's own natural spiritual powers that were pulled from the depths of his soul. In reality, this power was the product of his Fullbring (完現術 (フルブリング), Furuburingu; Japanese for "Full Manifestation Art") that allowed him to manipulate the souls contained within matter. On first using his power, he claimed it awoke because of the pride that had been instilled in his heart by Oscar Joaquín de la Rosa and that the object that acted as the source of his Fullbring was the skin on his arm.
One of the the techniques he could use in this state was El Directo (巨人の一撃 (エル・ディレクト), Eru Direkuto; Spanish for "The Direct", Japanese for "One Strike of the Giant"). He was able to release a huge blast of spiritual energy that could either be used to augment his punches or fire as a concentrated medium to long-range attack.
He later developed a similar ability for his left arm which manifested as Brazo Izquierda del Diablo (悪魔の左腕 (ブラソ・イスキエルダ・デル・ディアブロ), Buraso Isukieruda Deru Diaburo; Spanish and Japanese for "Left Arm of the Devil").
