>>118224595
>what is shonen

Yama would have had a chance then seeing as Yhwach didn't see his full bankai 1000 years ago

But he was arrogant and explained it all

>>118224142
"A" The Asspull.

>>118224453
No, the point is that it's fucking boring. We've seen this type of "nothing you do will work because I always have something to counter it with" comeback with Aizen a billion times, repeating it on another villain is shitty Kubowriting.

>>118223232
>I have toe power to take your name and give you shitty names
>no you can't
literally the worst. At least it was kinda interesting when he had the power to give or retake powers. Now he apparently has the power to never lose. Because he said so.

>>118224766
>>118224768

Why do you fuckers think there were "special war potentials"

These are the guys that Yhwach would have trouble fighting

Ichigo - has the power of main character
Aizen - has the power of fuck you
Kenpachi - has the power of murder

and I forget the rest unless they were never named, but its likely Urahara is also one because he's way too smart

>>118224768
>>118224766
>>118224142

Learn to read. Juha can restore his powers. We've known this since chapter 607. No one can take anything away from him. You can call it lame or whatever but to say it's an asspull is just inaccurate.

>>118224887
>it was already shit weeks ago!
already being shit is not an excuse for continuing to be shit.

>>118224985
Again, learn to read.

Seriously do Jap mangaka do this intentionally?

Both of their powers are complete bullshit, whichever wins wins only because Kubo needs them to.

I just want a shinigami who's shikai allows him to generate cups and manipulate them at will. Countless cups, millions if need be. Porelain, plastic, whatever the situation calls for.

I want that shinigami to show out of nowhere without any introduction, to just start drowning enemies in cups. And for his bankai: mugs. Like cups, but heat resistant.

That guy ought to win it all. Jeff, the shinigami that makes a lot of cups.

>>118224884
Urahara probably isn't a war potential given that Opie ("J") never made any mention of him being a war potential in Hueco Mundo.

Ichigo - his power cannot be stolen, absurdly powerful
Aizen - immortal via hogyoku, broken ability, strong as fuck
Kenpachi - Kubo has basically stated his powerlevel can match anyone he's fighting, strong and broken.

At least one of the SWPs isn't a shinigami. I'm bound to say its Ginjo because of powersharing and that every non-shinigami that isn't Ishida Uryu (who isn't a SWP) is weak as fuck. Halibel is currently the strongest Arrancar. Orihime isn't one. Chad isn't one. That only leaves Ryuken and the Fullbringers. Although I guess technically Ganju isn't a shinigami either...

Is that some weird allegory of the Ferguson issue?

>>118226000
Yes and my comments were making fun of the fact that Quincy act like American blacks.

>>118225938

That's a good guess, forgot about him.

I'm not sure I'd cross Orihime out, remember Aizen said her powers are hax as fuk so maybe we haven't seen her use it to her full potential.

>>118225938
>Ryuken

Where the fuck is Uryuu's dad?
Fuck he is a shittier husbando than Byakuya. At least Byakuya had a reason to be edgy and stopped afterwards. This guy has none.

>>118225143
Now I fucking hope Ishida kills a shinigami so we can get a Bleach edit.

>>118225938

It could be that Opie never had that information to begin with

>>118226254
Doubt it since he knew Ichigo was a SWP.

>>118226166
A shitty husbando and father.

I don't know why I have this feeling he married Ishida's mother just because.

Or maybe her dying was the reason he's miserable.

No, Ivan was an arrancar that Juha was using to kill Ichigo without exposing him to pure Quincies.

>>118226893
He's an arrancar who uses quincy powers.

He's sure as fuck not a Vizard if that's what you're implying.

It is the other way around, retard

>>118225811
I wish Kubo would do this instead of always coming up with new OP abilities, just something plain ridiculous and see them win fights in a porcelain store using their power to control mugs.

Why did Bach keep Harribel chained up instead of just using The Love or something else on her.

I mean it's not like he can't take the power then give it back.

>>118226999
Yes i did. They're not at all like that.

For a second I hoped that maybe Nel would be restored to her older self and she and Grimmjow would bust out Halibel and the three of them would provide back up but at this point there's no reason for them to show up.

Can someone remind me why the Vizard captains never used their mask against the enemies who are literally weak against hollows?

>>118227320
Hunter x Hunter and JJBA are the two examples I can think that have fights that do generally stray from the standard formula.

Good point and if Quincies are weak against Hollows and Chad's powers are part Hollow, will he perhaps not job as hard as usual?

>>118227373
This right here is a genuine example of plot stupidity.

Not a character using a power they've been previously established to have.

>>118227373
Because the Vizards only exist to job.

>>118227373

I would not be surprised if the quincy already have something to counter vaizards, those guys were behind soul society for 1000, they already knew everthing about SC, how could they not know about vaizards and have prepared some counter measure?

So Rose and Kensei are for real dead right? What about Rangiku?

>>118227153
Not that anon, but

>Explains why he is mad when getting called an Arrancar then

Cause he doesn't see himself as just being some arrancar anymore, he feels he's more evolved, he doesn't fight like one, he doesn't use ressurecion. He thinks he's above that shit and something special, doesn't mean that he isn't physically and biologically?/soully? an arrancar

>>118227803
They're only semantically dead. Mayuri will fix them up in no time.

>>118227888
I think Rose and Kensei are dead for real though. They were killed by that little shit who plays with his imagination. Rangiku could be either. Last we saw of her she was wounded. That and the fact that she's a fairly popular character with a lot of screen time tells me she's likely alive but who knows, this is the last arc.

Also, which hair color do you guys prefer for her? Regular blonde like in the manga or strawberry blonde like in the anime? I prefer strawberry blonde.

>>118228017
Gremmy's powers stop working if he stops concentrating on the target. So he has to keep imagining them dead or they won't be dead anymore, just like Yachiru with the cookies.

>>118225143
>dat pic

It's like /pol/ met /a/

>>118228017
Strawberry blonde is much better, for sure.

Also, even if he weren't fighting the final boss, the paintbrush guy with the name I can never keep in my head was destined to lose. He literally just started throwing and explaining his powers in his first fight, that is a fucking death sentence.

>>118226393
Pls no bully

Everyone in this thread complaining about Yhwach winning are chumps. He's the fucking BBEG--he's got plot armor. Why do you honestly think anyone except Ichigo with the help of literally everyone and a need to save his friends because Yhwach is about to kill everything can stop him?

>>118227170
Arrancars are shitty and useless. Might as well just keep Harribel in the rape dungeon.

So right now who's left from the Zero Division? The fat chick, the spiderchick, and the sauna guy right? And now the Elite 4 Quincies are back, presumably for Ichigo and his friends to fight.

>>118227373
Its never been explained but its probably reasonable to assume they don't use hollow powers because its forbidden in G13 and probably a condition upon returning to SS.

>>118228462
I'm not one of them, but it's stupid HOW he's not losing. It's like he's just saying "No, that power doesn't work, I'm immune to it. Nuh uh, that one doesn't either."

>>118228525
No idea and we don't know that Oetsu (sword guy) is dead. Ichibei is only soon to be dead.

>You would think such rules could be bent in times of such crisis.
This is the Gotei 13 we're talking about. People have restricted their powers for whatever reason countless times through out the series. I don't know why anyone would be surprised by now.

Do you think Isane ever fantasizes about being tentacle fucked? Or maybe being fucked by Kenpachi?

>>118228568
At this point, it's stupid to even have him fighting anyone. All of this asspulling should be saved for an asspull escalation against Ichigo. That's literally the only way to make either of them interesting.

>>118228670
Of course not, Ishida is the man. He's easily the strongest of the Karakura crew aside from Ichigo himself.

>>118228723
True I guess.

>>118228729
Of course not, she is pure. She probably fantasizes about massaging Unahana's feet after a long day of work.

>>118227153
You're fucking retarded. Yhwach forced the arrancar into his army. Any arrancar/hollow was killed mercilessly meaning they were seen as niggers. Ivan as a nig sees himself above that (despite the fact that he is one) and part of a special breed of Yhwach's army.

TL;DR kill yourself

Simple. Kubo forget.

>>118228940
His iris is dividing in two. The drawing is confusing as fuck but on the left drawing what you are seeing is one single eye.

>A revealed before B

Yes, we all know it's 'B'alance, but what does this mean? Haschwald confirmed for more important/stronger than Yhwh?

>>118228940
his pupils are splitting into two. You can kinda see the outline of his right eye

>>118229074
Its just that the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Its basically "Nope, nadda happening, I win".

>>118229049
Hopefully the latter, dude is running the risk to become irrelevant as Orihime and Chad became in their respective arcs.

>>118229115
It's probably the next OP power behind 'Almighty'

I think no matter how powerful the enemy is, he can use the 'Balance' to literally equalize the playing field or maybe "tip the scales" to his favor by controlling the reality around him and his opponent or increasing his strength/reiatsu to be able to cut the enemy (as seen against Jackie Chan Wolverine)

>>118229049
No.
Maybe it's not like he is actually evil or did join team Nazi.
He is either a) retarded or b) has retarded idea on how to kill Yhwach

I'm going with A

Please.... forgive me.

Has anyone asked the important question?

If Yhwach has this Almighty ability, how the heck did he lose to Yamamoto 1,000 years ago?

I mean from what we know, Yamamoto didn't even have or use his Zanka no Tachi West, East, South or North in their first fight.

>>118229029
Because evidently a lot of anons lack the fifth grade level reading comprehension it takes to make sense of this.

>>118223232
this was the shittiest chapter of bleach i've ever read. literally 6 weeks of fighting for fucking nothing

fuck kubo and his retarded fucking asspulls. even naruto doesnt do this stupid shit

>>118229263
He technically didnt lose to Yamamoto. Yamamoto couldn't kill Yhwach and it was probably due to the Almighty ability.

Maybe his powers weren't mature enough back then when he looked like Fake-Zangetsu since he was still growing.

>>118229263
Juha might of been still giving some miracles to those disabled faggots who got to live for an hour.

>>118229263
Maybe he didn't have that power back then.

Also, Yamamoto is pretty close to a deity himself considering that in all religions, the Sun is considered to be God.

Besides the whole Yugioh you activated my trap card battle, how else is Kubo suppose to show Yhwach is literally God?

Not only that but it's not like he's invincible. He still isn't at the transcendent level like Butterflaizen and edgy Ichigo were seeing as how he couldn't sense the reiatsu of Monk's Shikai and got BTFO for 90% of the fight. And Aizen was still able to fuck with Yhwach.

So is aizen the only one that managed to do something that ywach wasnt able to forsee?

You were calling it an asspull.

The fight being poorly paced and whether or not Yhwach's victory was an asspull are two separate issues.

That's a terrible reaction image btw.

>>118224766
But he doesnt always have a counter. Anything he sees is counterable as an ability. The only way to win, therefore, is an ability of nothing but raw physical power and speed. That means the top two candidates that don't rely on beams or abilities for 99% of their combat ability are also the two strongest in Soul Society and one is on the warpath at this moment.

Aizen had the potential to become what he did.

Therefor he is probably related to Yhwach and the Soul King

They all have connections.

Juha can still be killed. His power is more along the lines of countering any OP abstract ability. He can still get jobbed around by a being with more reiatsu or at a higher dimension as was shown by most of his fight with the monk

So when is Mayuri coming back? There isn't much more reason to read this other than him.

Yeah obviously no other RG member could easily defeat Yhwach's elite guard. It's not like there was an entire chapter dedicated to Nimiya easily cutting them down or anything.

You still haven't explained how it's an asspull.

They already said that it wasn't meant to be gigantic. Thats why Renji's new Zanpakto is literally an oversoul and Ichigo's Bankai was NEVER a bankai so there's still hope.

It was always pretty obvious Ichibe couldn't really kill Ywach - if you kill the final boss, the series ends, and there's obviously a lot left to resolve. The fact that Ichibe was succeeding against him so thoroughly should have tipped anyone off that the tables would be turned pretty quick - if he had just been holding Bach off, it would have boded better for him.

>>118229263
my current theory is that he did know how to make schrifts, and the "A" is an improved version of his natural ability. but im just pulling this out of my ass

Juha didn't even restore his power though. He just activated it even though it was supposed to be gone. Remember, he was unable to use any of his abikities last week.

>>118230273
I'm waiting for him to show up with his army of every single person who has died in the series, judging by how insanely prepared he is.

>>118227815

There is one question though - if Hollows are poison to Quincies, then why doesn't Ivan's Hollow power destroy him? He has at least some Hollow reiatsu in him, and just some was enough to nullify the bankai stealing emblem things.

>>118230665
>Remember, he was unable to use any of his abikities last week.
No he was unable to use his sword or Quincy medallion. Juha himself was fine.

>>118230757
Hollows are poison to Quincy but not the other way around. Meaning that while Quincy couldn't steal the resurrecciones, they were able to make Arrancar/Quincy hybrids instead

>>118226254
Unlikely. He knew about uryu succeeding juha before even the other quincy did, got to lead his own expeditionary force, and was tasked with holding off ichigo during the invasion.

Opie was priviledged even smong the sternritter.

So what matchups are we gonna have besides the obvious Ichigo vs Yhwach?

I can't even remember which quincies are left, but we still have yet to see the bankais of Kyouraku, Ukitake, Urahara and Yoruichi. Also I guess Grimmjow must have acquired a Segunda Etapa or else he's gonna get shitted on.

>>118230823
obviously ichigo vs Haschwald and Uryuu. Maybe Urahara and co. go up against the OP elite stern ritter and Urahara uses his bankai

>>118226749
Juha stated he was an arrancar. He just thought he was special because he got serve juha and was granted a cross.

>>118230884
Urahara's bankai will be OP as fuck, I'm calling it.

>>118230821
Ywach seemed to hold his abilities in high regards. I wouldn't be surprised if he was supposed to be part of the Soul King area invasion force.

>>118226749
are you autistic? They literally show in the next chapter that he is an arrancar

>>118228940
He's turning into a ninja turtle

>>118230815

I understand you logic, but it doesn't seem to work. If you give an arrancar Quincy powers, they are Quincies. I suppose you could say "Because humanity is dominant in an arrancar, they are able to become Quincies" - but if that was the case, then giving the captains with stolen bankai hollow-pills wouldn't be enough, because humanity predominated in them even after the pills. Also, the antipathy between hollow and Quincy doesn't seem to be exclusive to the Quincy - note how White immediately left his fight with Isshin when he sensed Masaki, the Quincy.

>>118227153
House niggers think themselves not a nigger. More news at eleven.

Oh, and juha stated that he was an arrancar when discussing with toofsy that he can always recruit a few more from mexico if need be.>>118227168

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet. How the hell are Ichigo and co supposed to get to the Royal Realm?
They're not taking the kido route, instead opting for the direct route by flying there, but here's a catch, they don't have a King's Key at present. Unless Ichigo's entire attire is a King's Key then the one he had was destroyed by Candy's Galvano Javelin.
Did the RG make him into an honorary member, or something? Did he too get one grafted into his bones for good measure by absorbing its reishi somehow?

>>118230655
bleach arcs are so ridiculously long, I sort of miss the old days when Ichigo just went hunting for that ghoul of the week with his buddies.

This probably happened like, once in the entire series, but it was still enjoyable

I know I'm late on this but

Was anyone else mad that they killed Candice off screen? I sort of figured those fights would be rushed a little but it was still disappointing.

>>118231056
Juha literally stated that the 72 barriers that Ichigo destroyed wont regenerate for another 1000 minutes. They have a clear path to get to the Royal Palace

>>118231113
candice is still alive.

>>118231113
I wanted Meninas and Candice to live.

>>118231113
I was more mad that we didn't get to see any of Renji and Rukia's fight with Bazz-B, that could have been great.

>>118231117
It's actually 6000 seconds, so they have 1 hour and 40 seconds to get there. I recall that Ichigo's trip took longer.

>>118231145
I thought she was killed? So she was only down but not out?

>>118231160
Me too. I liked Bambietta but there's no hope for her.

>>118231166
That was BS. I did notice that Renji seemed worried when Bazz-B was being killed. Maybe they had become bros during the course of their fight. Or maybe he was just surprised.

>>118231145
I think nazi loli implied that she was dead. She said something along the lines of "The enemy got to her"

When did this arc start to go downhill? For me it was around the Kenpachi fight

>>118231220
the canon is supposed to get them there fast, I suppose

>>118231220
40 minutes*

>>118230757
>if Hollows are poison to Quincies, then why doesn't Ivan's Hollow power destroy him?

Cause Ivan's not a Quincy, he's an arrancar (hollow) so it's not poison for him to wield a quincy cross or whatever it was that he had and which was given to him as part of joining (being forced into really) Yhwach's army or whatever

>>118231220
The rocket is faster than Ichigo then.

>>118231056
The barriers ate still down. And RG members can grant individuals passage as they so will it.

Liltotto said the girl group was naturally the stronger group of quincies so it's more likely that she's alive. Also, Accutrone Colonel Sanders lived and appeared just fine so she should be fine.

It's also implied that there's going to be a rebellious group of quincy so they might be used for later chapters

I doubt they are aware of all the people currently headed to the Royal Realm to help them and they were also present when they granted Ichigo passage the last time, that might be a condition. If anyone is granting passage right now it must be Ichigo.

I think she meant that the ones left standing were the ones who were considered stronger beforehand so it wasn't surprising that they had survived. Candice didn't so it seems she was one of the weaker girls.

>>118230757
Cause he aint a quincy, m8. He was just given a cross and medallion.

>>118231328
>Liltotto said the girl group was naturally the stronger group of quincies so it's more likely that she's alive.

No, she said the Quincy left in Soul Society are the stronger side when compared to the Shinigami in the war, but that was before His Majesty took away their powers.

>>118231328

I'm pretty sure it was Meninas who said that Liltotto and herself were stronger than the Quincys that Byakuya cut down with Senbonzakura.

...Which means that they're stronger than the guy who fought on par with Shunsui and blew out his eye. We never got to see them fight seriously either which is pretty disappointing.

>>118231548

Kubo decided that it is easier to have a guy describe what his attack at length does instead of just showing it.

Just got caught up after a 2 year break from Bleach. Marathoning it was pretty fun. Question though. After his fight with Bambi Komamura is seen reverting back to a wolf. Is this how he will spend the remainder of his life? I thought he was going to die since he, you know, ripped his fucking heart out. I guess we didn't see what will become of him though so it's still up in the air. If he does survive, does this mean his time as a captain for the G13 is over? Doesn't seem like he will be able to do much at this point. At least he got a cool fight to send him off.

Nah man, poor guy got a horrible ending. He sacrificed himself and his enemy is still around taking up screentime.

>>118230052
the guy controls all the color black on the planet, I'm pretty sure that's big enough.

>>118232287
considering kubo does care about half the sternritter, it would have been cool to see Bromamura flatten a couple of ritters with his immortal dog powered bankai, rather than just bambi

>>118232227
It's fan art.

Someone called "aMuteMaiden"

>>118232364
Yeah seriously, I mean Byakuya and Kenpachi both took out 4 Sternritter each. Komamura barely took out 1 and even that didn't really count because she's still around. He got gipped hard.

>>118232475
To be fair, Komamura was never much of a force to be reckoned with. He's arguably the least dangerous captain.

>>118232475
Yes, but Byakuya and Kenpachi have pretty much always been considered to be the most formidable of the captains aside from shunsui and yama.

>>118232567
He'd easily be the most dangerous if we ever saw practical uses for any of these powers outside 1-on-1 fights. If Kubo ever got around to showing us how the gotei handled swarms of soldat running around the place, he'd easily have been the most effective person aside from Yama just setting the entire landscape on fire. When he's only trying to smash one little person all his benefits are just wasted. I'm kind of surprised that between him and Bambietta Kubo didn't make a point to emphasize how the fight between the two of them probably should have totaled the entire landscape.

>>118232703
True enough.

It would have been pretty cool if he had taken on a shit ton of fodder while also taking out a Stern Ritter, but I'm content with what we got.

>>118229991
"His eyes are now open" as he stated.

The Almighty power is just a fancy way of saying "Hyper Adaptability". Essentially, since Juha Bach can distribute powers, take away powers, and understand powers, his power would be the ability to become immune to other's powers.

It's much less of an asspull and more of a built up reveal. This also explains why people like Gremmy AKA "The Visionary" just can't overthrow Juha Bach as he is immune to his powers.

The only drawback is that Juha Bach has to see, understand and feel said power happen to himself.

>>118232909
haha ebin xDDDD can i save it and post it on tumblr and facebook???????

I think it would have been more interesting for Yhwach to die in this battle and then resurrect himself through Ishida's body as a vessel.
these "lol your attack didn't work on me" tactics are way beyond old.

>>118233119

Ichibe's power is the power to cut names, blotch out names, and rename things into something different.

Juha Bach's power is to give power, take power and become immune to other's power once he understands it.

They both have a bit of triforce of power going for themselves.

>>118233267

It wouldn't be bleach without 'characters would easily win if they didn't fucking explain exactly what they were doing the enemy'

>>118233175
to be fair, I think Anon is 100% incorrect
I don't think it has anything to do with adaptability.
I think it's just that he's doing a hail mary with this assault on the soul king. We know that he basically went into a coma the last time he fought (and, didn't he say covered in darkness?) and so now he's clearly conserving his energy as much as possible, and only using enough power to deal with the opponent at hand.
It's also the reason he has amassed an army when he's so powerful.
He's slowly powering up as he gets closer and closer to his goal, where before he wasn't even willing to FIGHT.
I think the almighty is just literally, his might cannot be overcome.

Man, wouldn't Rukia and Byakuya have a lot of sexual tension around each other? After all, Rukia looks just like Byakuya's ex-wife.

Read the MS translation. Part of Bach's power is the ability to understand any ability he sees, it doesn't matter if it's explained or not.

It doesn't have to be explained by the user. Juha Bach just has to figure out said power himself. Like for example, Juha Bach didn't understand how Aizen's power worked and when he went over to talk to Aizen, Juha Bach was affected by such.

However, once Juha Bach understood what happened to him, he instantaneously was able to adapt himself with Aizen's power.

Bleach has had some stupid moments. This isn't one of them. The claim that it's an asspull has been extensively debunked.

What if the new Getsuga Tenshou is a laser so big that instead of firing a beam that moves through space it turns space into a laser and hits everything at once?

>>118233510
Ichibei said that Bach was able to take it, but he couldn't use it anyway because of Ichimonji's effect that anything black is Ichi's property.

>>118233861
If it's so stupid then why weren't you complaining two chapters ago when he did basically the same thing?

>>118233467
It's fucking stupid, and I dont even care.

The writer basically wrote a character that wins, because "I win." is his ability. Why is he strong? Because. That's his power.

Not because of abilities, or technique, or counters, or ANYTHING based on the concepts written about in the series (bakudou, shunpo, reiatsu, reishi manipulation....)...no, he wins, because he does.

THAT IS SO FUCKING BORING AND ANNOYING.

What's worse, is that obviously, none of that will matter, because, of course, because, Ichigo will win. He'll win, not because of techniques, counters, logic, or being smart, clever, stronger, faster, better-he'll win because the other guy's 'I Win" button wont work againts Ichigo's hidden main character "I Win." button.

FUCK THIS WHOLE STORY.

>>118233925
I was.

But for some reason this feels more stupid. I couldn't place exactly why, something about this chapter just felt incredibly dumb to me, way more than any chapter recently.

I actually think Yhwach's ability is awesome. It's so meta. He's not even trying to come up with a reason for winning. He just wins because he wins.

>>118233925
Who said he didnt complain? he's complaining about the new stupid bullshit.
Seriously, there's no wonder why no one really cares about Bleach and it's always nearly canceled.Is there even an anime anymore?

The writer just fucking gave up.

>>118233963
And just after I posted>>118233940 and>>118233971 explained exactly why, putting my thoughts into words better than I ever could.

It's like, monk guy spends all this time explaining his absurdly powerful power, and Bach wins because fuck you his power is just better.

>>118233971
I personally hate that.

It's completely out of reason and logic. Why bother explaining all the tenents of the fucking series and how each one works, like reiatsu, reishi, shunpo, sonido, and spellcasting with bakudou, and then just go "FUCK THAT SHIT, HE WINS BECAUSE, HE'S JUST SO COOL.".

it's like a teenagers's vision on coolness.

Seriously, if at least they explained a reason why he's so fucking omnipotent, I'd be down for it. Just...explain that... "as a higher dimensional being, he's actually untouchable by lower dimensional folks- they're just harming his avatar for lower dimensional interaction, and that he can just recreate it at will out of pure reishi. He's literally sentient reishi, and as thus, beyond physical entities."

Done. You establish rules, and how they are broken or surpassed. You just dont go.... I dont know...."FRESH" and win.

>>118233940
His power was pretty clearly explained.

He becomes immune to any ability he understands. He can understand anything if sees it. The solution?

Hit him with a power he hasn't seen before.

"The Almighty" is obviously hyperbole.

Maybe that's why Kenpachi was a war potential. Because his power is so high that it can't be understood.

>>118234066
What the fuck is 'understanding', and WHY is he understanding it?

Does that mean that by understanding punches, he becomes immune to punching and physical force? If he understands a sword slash, which is super fucking simple to comprehend, he cant be slashed because LOL IMMUNITY?

That's fucking stupid.
Maybe if they explained, within the context of the series -bakudou-, reishi, reiatsu manipulation, that he's doing SOMETHING to counter other people's skills? COOL.

He's literally going "Naw, dawg. Naw."

>>118233940
>>118233971
>>118233977
I'm not sure where you guys are getting this "I win" button is Yhwaxch's power thing from, cause it['s not

The ability to understand all aspects of something just likely lets Yhwach know it's weaknesses, limits, range, how to counter it, the best way to counter it and whatever, it's not just some "I get it now" and the opponent just dies out of nowhere, Ichibei just wasn't fast enough to react to a holy arrow attack (not entirely sure if that's what it was but I'm guessing).

It's kinda like a much faster and improved version of how that espada guy studied the fuck out of Renji and Uryu and came up with ways to fight them, in this case Yhwach just gets an understanding faster and likely also knows how to counter stuff using his own regular abilities/quincy power.

>>118226438
Shit this is so fitting

>>118233467

Ichigo will win because with his new Bankai, even he doesnt understand his power 100%. So if he doesnt, how will Bach?

>>118234123
Chill.

You're jumping to conclusions. For now, we can assume that it mainly deals with specialized reatsu based abilities. Let's wait until the next few chapters where we might get a more proper explanation.

>>118234136
>>118234136

Again, what if there's nothing to 'understand', like just a dude doing punches and slashes like Kenpachi?

Will he UNDERSTAND his sword swings and just become immune to physical damage?

>>118234136
There is NO WAY to "counter" the power of Ichibei's bankai. There is no way to reject it or get your name back. Except Bach does it anyway, because his power is an automatic counter to whatever happens to him, regardless of what that is and whether it makes any sense to be able to undo it.

>yfw Ichigos Getsuga turns into a bow that shoots a sword that makes a bow

Guys, if you read the chapter where his past as a blind kid still let him do miracles, he clearly says that because of his godlike power people around him started calling him YUHHABAHHA. So his almighty power doesn't come from its name, it's the other way around. Monk erasing his "nickname" had no effect because his asspull power is not related to it.

>>118234251
He could probably come up with the perfect counter to his fighting style. But there still isn't sufficient evidence to suggest he can just make himself immune to basic physical harm.

>>118233390
>However, once Juha Bach understood what happened to him, he instantaneously was able to adapt himself with Aizen's power.

But he didnt. Even a while after meeting Aizen, he still wouldnt understand his power. When about to leave SS after the first invasion, he was like "He must have thrown off my sense of time or something", he clearly didnt understand Aizens powers well enough.


My theory is that the war potentials were primarily the people whose powers were a mystery to YHWH, so he wanted to personally meet an study them. As such, i think we can safely write off anyone who he had a chance to meet and didnt. That includes everyone who was in SS and wasnt visited by him.

>>118234293
How can you not understand this when it was spelled out? In the quasi-philosophical realm of Bleach, not having a name means something has no power. That's all there is to it.

>>118234136
>"I get it now" and the opponent just dies out of nowhere

This is exactly what happened. Bach went "I understand how your power works", and Monk's power instantly stopped working and then he died. AFTER Monk specifically spent a while explaining how his power makes it impossible for Bach to win. It's two instant-win unbeatable powers clashing, and Bach just wins because, well, plot.

>>118234304
Aizens power isn't really something that you can "see".

>>118234278
It's like does that thing like a kid does when play fighting-

"I got you behind your back! I SHOT you, you're dead!"

"NUH UH, I AM IMMUNE TO BULLETS, and , and, they bounce off me and you're dead! DOUBLE DEAD."

Fuck, this is just stupid.
Why even write a character like this?

I just got an image in my head of Ichigo summoning a fuck ton of bows gate of babylon style.

Whatever Bach's power and whatever happens next chapter I think we can all agree that a) it was an asspull, b) if there were any justice in the world the monk would have killed Bach and we find out that Ishida and Haschwald have slipped off to the Soul King or something.

He'll gain an understanding of how Kenpachi fights, how he swings, when he swings, how much force behind it, how his torso, legs, whatever else move when he's about to do something, and also the best time to strike, when to dodge, when to go in for the kill, etc.

>>118234278
>>118234344
>There is NO WAY to "counter" the power of Ichibei's bankai

Except you don't know that, everything has limits and nothing and no one has absolutely no weaknesses anon. Yhwach's ability let's him get a grasp of that. For all we know there's a certain reiatsu vibration you can achieve to get the black/white off, a certain way of changing/shaping/using reiatsu to make the black and name come off, whatever, Yhwach just happens to know it because his ability lets him understand and know it.

>>118234328
>Bach went "I understand how your power works", and Monk's power instantly stopped working and then he died

Yhwach likely just used the knowledge he gained to do something to counter the Bankai thing, everything has weakness and a way around, to stop it or counter it, Yhwach just exploits that.

>AFTER Monk specifically spent a while explaining how his power makes it impossible for Bach to win

Lots of people wll tell you how it's impossible to counter their attack, how they're power has no limits, can't be countered, how it's perfect "this" or "that", blah, blah, blah, doesn't make it true, not sure why you think there's no way around something cause the guy who has it says you can't. For example, Shinji sure as heck thought his sense thing was impossible to counter, Aizen sure as fuck proved him wrong. That Fear quincy sure as heck thought his ability was impossible to counter too, and where is he now, he's dead.

>>118234319
Bach had absolutely no name when he started using his almighty powers, people gave him a name AFTER that.

>>118234586
>Yhwach likely just used the knowledge he gained to do something to counter the Bankai thing, everything has weakness and a way around, to stop it or counter it, Yhwach just exploits that.

Great, fucking tell me what the weakness was, because the way it happened and the way Monk explained it I'm not seeing any. Even the best you can do is say "for all we know" or "everything has a weakness and Yhwach exploited it", and that's a really, really bad defense.

>>118234596
And that's why he's the Almighty.

He accepted the name others gave him, but he exists in spite of that. His existence transcends the mere limitation of a name.

>>118234674
>Great, fucking tell me what the weakness was

We don't know yet, they'll probably explain it next week, but the key is that Yhwach knows however. But not sure why you see this as any different than the other times we got no explanation for stuff though. For example, how did Aizen counter Shinji's sense switch, we have no idea, all we can throw out is that maybe he used Kyoka Suigetsu in some manner, but it's all just theory

>that's a really, really bad defense.

Why? Cause you say so?

There are lots of examples of a character thinking that their ability was the best, the strongest, impossible to defeat, and time and time again they got beat when the protagonist (and sometimes antagonist, like Starrk understanding Ukitake's shikai) or whoever they were facing, understood and got a firm grasp of the opponent and their ability and found a way to counter it and beat it. Shinji, Fear quincy, Barragan, Mask de Masculine, that arrancar that Uryu beat back in Mexico with the wings and that Mayuri brought back to life, and a shit load of others, including those who's powers though they didn't hype them as being the most powerful, were very tricky and you needed to understand things quickly if you didn't wanna die, Kyoraku and Ukitake.

>>118234674
Juha has the perfect defense against the Monks power, the ability to restore his own power and name.

All you're doing is jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst.

>>118234777
And that's the point for still being able to use his A despite being renamed by monk.

>>118234817
>Why? Cause you say so?

No, it really is. Saying 'everything must have a weakness and that's how a character won, by exploiting', is a terrible explanation for how a character beat another one. Every single explanation you've came up with for how a character managed to beat another character is baseless speculation (don't even try to pretend 'there's a certain reiatsu vibration you can achieve to get the black/white off, a certain way of changing/shaping/using reiatsu to make the black and name come off," have any basis in anything), that's a major issue. Even if we DO get an explanation for how Bach won next week, while definitely better, that's still pretty bad, because a month-long fight should be resolved by things introduced and used in the fight, not just explained away afterwards.

> But not sure why you see this as any different than the other times we got no explanation for stuff though. For example, how did Aizen counter Shinji's sense switch, we have no idea, all we can throw out is that maybe he used Kyoka Suigetsu in some manner, but it's all just theory

I don't, both are awful.

>It turns out the Soul King is YWACH's father

>>118234977
Essentially, I don't see how this is any different then Monk getting hit with a nuke then dying, then Bach explaining afterward that his power is actually to summon nuclear missiles, because both are bullshit ways to end a fight. Is it too much to ask for things to be set up in a story before they happen?

You're literally just making assertions, you're not providing anything resembling reasoning.

>>118234935
In practice, this is similar to Adam VS say Lucifer.

Adam named all things under the sun, as allowed by God (in this case, Ichibei)

Satan has his own intrinsic nature. Knowing his name allows one to understand him, but his name is a natural continuation of his existence as an aspect of God. In this case YHWH.

Which is apt since Lucifer passes himself for God.

so it's bad, because you say it's bad? NYou're not backing up anything you're saying, you're just repeating the same thing

>how a character managed to beat another character is baseless speculation

U wot m8?

Rukia countered Fear Quincy by freezing herself to the point that his fear couldn't affect or have a noticable affect on her, she or he even says it

Uryu beat that arrancar chick by understanding how her wings I think it was, vibrated at a certain speed, Uryu then promptly made a blade of reiatsu or whatever that vibrated even faster and used that to beat her, he also says so

Starrk "studied" and observed both Kyoraku and Ukitake, he even says so and Kyoraku and Ukitake even point out how he picked up on stuff fast, Ukitake's shikai after like three shots (then Starr pointed out how based on his understanding of Ukitake's shikai that it can't take multiple shots, that's when Starrk used cero metralleta, he even says that's why he's doing it) and Kyoraku's irooni game

Renji noticed how Mask got stronger and healed the more the James cheered (weakness), he even tried to kill James to stop Mask from getting stronger/healing, he even says it (pic related)

>don't even try to pretend 'there's a certain reiatsu vibration

That part is speculation, never denied that, doesn't mean that there isn't in fact a way to counter Ichibei's bankai and that Yhwach doesn't know exactly how

>>118235135
>>118235208
If you don't understand that having things happen then coming up with explanations for how they happened after the fact is bad writing I don't know how else to explain it to you. If you have to resort to speculation about why one character beat another character in a fight, there's a really big problem there. I'm not talking about any of the past fights, I'm talking about this one. The only justification anybody has provided so far with how Bach won this fight is speculation about weaknesses and saying it will probably get explained later, and that's bad writing. I legitimately don't know any other way to explain it.

>>118235208
Oh and now I'm going to sleep, it's damn near 5:00am here in the East Coast, don't think this thread will even still be here by the time I wake up so I won't be able to reply to anything

>That part is speculation, never denied that, doesn't mean that there isn't in fact a way to counter Ichibei's bankai and that Yhwach doesn't know exactly how

That's what I'm trying to fucking say. If there is, it should've been introduced before he used it to win.If there isn't, and Bach just won anyway, that's even worse, because it means Bach's power is legitimately a "fuck you I win" button and he beat Ichimonji just because. The fact that you cannot provide any evidence beyond speculation is the best demonstration of all my issues with this chapter.

>>118235276
What is a cliffhanger?

Its a weekly series, of course some things happen and are explained the following week.

Nevermind the fact that we know all Quincy abilities come from YHWH. He gave them, they happen when he gives a piece of his soul.

He was named because he has that capability, not the other way around.

All that was shown prior to the fact. Perhaps we will have a more in-depth explanation, but every Quincy who talked about how YHWH gave them their powers did so knowingly. He understands who his powers are given to, and what they do. Everything has been foreshadowed here.

The cross and the sword are not his powers, so they can be taken away. Not something intrinsic to a being that has no equal, no other known instances.

>>118235338
It was introduced you moron.

Yhwach has the ability to grant himself lost power.

It's the perfect counter. "No one can take anything away from me"

What does this even mean?
Did Yhwach get a pair of extra pupils?

>>118235338
I don't have this problem. I just take what I'm explicitly told, read between the lines, take in subtext and cues from the art, and use my imagination, and I end up with a pretty coherent understanding of everything that goes on. I do not experience any disconnect while reading Bleach, because I insert possibilities to make connections between characters, mechanisms, and events. I'm never left feeling, "why did this happen this way? there was no indication", because the art is so communicative and the subtext is so heavy that I have a lot of material to draw conclusions from, even if things aren't outright narrated.

>>118235338

Look, as much as I think these past few chapters were bullshit Bachs powers were adequately explained. It was stated many chapters ago that so long as he understands a power it loses its effect on him. At the same time, not only did Aizens power work on him but old Yama had the potential to kill him (presumably because he didnt understand the full extent of Zanka no Taichi) hence why Yama is now dead. New Bach got a chance to read him from the sidelines at full power while Yama got worn down by Lloid who I think was also bullshit too.

The last few chapters were full of shit though because it didnt show Monk and Bach on equal footing or something similar. This was a stereotypical Bleach fight where the winner sandbagged while the loser explained his power which plays into Bachs dumb power.

Yes its a shitty power but it was already introduced sufficiently. The storytelling can be much better though.

Only Ichigo can outbullshit Yhwach, dearu with it

>>118235596
1. Don't trust the mangapanda translation.

2. Yhwach apparently has the ability to see things in many dimensions and fully comprehend the mechanisms and conclusions of what is happening. His eyes do a weird thing when he is explicitly using this power. It seems like he does get an extra pair of pupils.

>>118235596
