Askin is kill, Nel to the rescue, and meanwhile, everyone has gathered for a Yammy 2.0 fight. See pic related for my reaction. Is Kubo going to see the Thor fight through? Or are we switching to a different scene yet again?
>>138865589
knowing Kubo, he's going to finish the Giant fight right now, not showing the rescue, and putting some scenes of what the rest of the people are doing.
when manga is predictable is pretty much dead already.
Is Yammy2.0 the last one to deal with before we get to the fights that actually matter?
I've lost track.
>>138865589

>>138865750
Chad is fighting statues. Do those matter?
>>138865828

>>138865750
Lille is still alive. His piercing power may be what frees Aizen.
Its disgusting that they brought back Hitsugaya and Kenpachi, those guys should have stayed down. Kubo could have giving Miracle a better power too.

I love how Kubo does not even try to cover up that Chad is fighting enemies that could as well not exist, if it werent for Chad.
How could Uryuu possibly beat the secondary antagonist of this Arc?
Also, do you think that Gremmy really was the strongest Quincy?
>>138866842

There are people who still believe this.
There are also people that believe in IchiHime right now.
>>138865778
She's up and about somewhere. They planned to leave Gerard behind and advance to Yhwach, after all.
I want to see her, but I'm afraid that something bad will happen to her though. feeling so complicated
>>138866950
Orihime already won the ichibowl anon, read the news.
>>138866878
Uryu is the second strongest in Team Ichigo. He'll manage.
And Gremmy was dumb trash who should've been locked up and never let outside.
>>138866977
she's going to be burned alive by old man yama's bankai that ywach has. calling it.
think about it. ywach boasted about how frail he was for caring about pride of fights. ywach has no pride and will crush everyone around ichigo just to push him. he pointed out how he won't even kill him after his mom died, so he's gunning to provoke his ass, and with two bankais, soul king jizz, and the almighty, there's no way he'll fail at roasting her in front of him.
>>138867020
>Uryu is the second strongest in Team Ichigo.
That does not mean much, you know.
>>138867026
>Implying he can kill the person who can reject death itself
>>138867089
he'll just reject her rejection.
I really wanted to see a Haschwalth vs Shunsui fight. Instead, Haschwalth will die by Plotbow Release and Shunsui got to deal with Flamingos.
>>138867352
How? Yhwach can only become immune to whatever future he sees, but Orihime can just reject all of them.
I just noticed that Bleach is selling more than Fairy Tail again, a series that still have an ongoing anime adaptation and can't stop receiving color pages.
Why Bleach is so ignored?
>>138867629
If Yhwach is immune to the future, can Gold Experience Requiem defeat him?
>>138867642
>I just noticed that Bleach is selling more than Fairy Tail again
>Why Bleach is so ignored?
?
>>138867705
Bleach has no anime, only receives color pages during its anniversary, is always at the bottom of the Jump TOC. Bleach is pretty much receiving the treatment of manga about to be axed, it just isn't actually axed.
>>138867836
Seeing how many new shitty animes air every season, is it a given that Bleach will return?
>>138867516
Haschwalth can't die in this fight, because he can't reveal his actual power.
>>138866923
They look very different from Shuutara's statues. It could be possibly BG9, who's controlling them. And if Kubo wants to give both Chad and Ganju someone to loose against, he could reveal that Cang Du somehow survived and is with BG9
>>138868212
>Cang Du
>BG9
You know they're deader than dead, right? Might as well have Chad fight his abuelo
>>138867026

>>138868849
He's literally the worst character.
>>138868899
Another questionhas Ichigo shown his new bankai yet?and whatever happened to hollow Ichigo? I fuckin loved the vizord
>>138869054He did show his bankai at the end of fb arcHe got another, supposedly massive poverup and didn't show bankai after that though
For the rest, you better read manga. It's shit, but fun if you read it ll at once
>>138868596
We've never seen if BG9 was excecuted. And he has yet to reveal his powers. Cang Du's wound looked survivabel, especially if Hiyori survived a bifracturation.
When will they show up again?
>>138869049
Cool opinion.
>>138869277

What character isn't edge to the max in Bleach?
>>138866878
Gremmy could be easily defeated with someone fast enough.
During his fight with zaraki he complained that he is not keeping up with healing from injuries.
So if someone was fast enough to just cut head right away, fight would be over.

Why are the Quincy powers so random? They range from robots to minds in a box to flamingo burds?
>>138867836
they probably cut a deal with kubo, they will give bleach almost no advertisement or new animation until it's nearing it end, but in return kubo can take as long as he want making the final arc.
>>138869602
How about the panel where he lying and said, that he can die now. Or when Rangiku said he's dead. Or where the databook said, he's dead.
So now show me where it's stated BG9 and Cang Du are dead.
>>138868596
>Chad fight his abuelo
That would be awesome, Kubo do it.
Notice how Renji and Rukia got legit power-ups that allow them to beat major Sternritter, yet Chad is fighting filler minions right now?
>>138869602
>implying Gin is dead
>>138868598
hes retarded.
>>138870141
There is no point in them staying alive, we elite quincies now. Even if they were to turn on yhwah they would be useless
>>138870227
His powers are shit and there is only as much as training can inprove
>>138870417
Whether there is a point or not is for Kubo to decide. These are probably not the final battles and someone has to control the stone statues.
Daily reminder Shunsui is a turbocuck.
Shunsui vs Chad - admitted he would be in trouble if he got hit by an attack from Chad. From Chad!
Shunsui vs Starrk - got hit head-on by a Cero, only winning with a stealth attack. Got help from Ukitake at multiple instances. Never got to fight with Starrks wolves, his strongest technique.
Starrk vs Grimaniel - lost his eye against a Quincy that Byakuya off-screened.
Starrk vs Haschwalth - got his sorry ass protected by Nanao, until Haschwalth fled.
Starrk vs Lille Barro - got his sorry ass protected by Nanao, until Lille turned into flamingo burds that got finished off by Izuru "Burdslayer" Kira.
>>138870530
*replace Starrk with Shunsui in the latter three fights.
>>138870518
So yuo would bring them back to fight filler enemies whose only purpose is to give Chad purpose?
>>138870417
If the current elite zero die out, maybe they can become replacements, just like Askin.
>>138870607
I would bring them back, so they can be one of the few surviving Sternritter. SInce this is Chad, he won't kill them, so they can have a role beyond day two and in the next invasion. I would also like to know, how BG9 can be a robot.

You guys think we'll get a chance to see Kisuke's/Aizen's/Yoruichi's bankai before this all ends?
Also, it's hard to believe that this will have more chapters than Naruto.
>>138878138
>kisuke's
wat
>>138878138
I wouldn't count on Yoruichi's. As for Aizen I'm still hoping Kyouka Suigetsu will turn out to be bankai, not shikai. Because lies.
>>138878189
Whoops, did some research, didn't realize it has been revealed, what about Isshin's though?
Haven't kept up with the series, I honestly thought we would be forever in the dark.
>>138878138
more complex story and its written better. its not limited to 'the boy who tried is suddenly the son of ninja god'.
>>138878261
>I wouldn't count on Yoruichi's
your're an idiot if you dont think its appearing
>>138878436
Isshin is nowhere to be seen. Same for Ryuuken. Probably they are the Living World defense force.
those complaining about Yammy 2.0 are 1st level readers. You have to understand Kubo is playing with your expectations, he has recycled mr big's power and put the same guys against him + hitsugay. He wants you to think it will play out the same like always, and he knows his invested readers will be angry at this, but if you expect kubo to pull his usual schtick in this situation, then what would the most unexpected thing to do be? of course that would be to make it end just like yammy, the most obvious is the most unexpected, but only if you know Kubo.
>>138878476
This.
Not because it takes 200 chapters to anything relevant to the overall plot happen in Bleach.
>>138878789
and whats more we CARE about the supporting characters. they are lives in their own right. Its not just ' lol so who did naruto marry in the end?'.
>>138878789
Wasn't trying to start a flame war between Naruto and Bleach.
Just surprised Bleach is still holding despite no attention other than the back pages of Shonen Jump.
Has the "spirit" of Ichigo's new zanpakutou been shown yet? It can't be Zangetsu again, right?
>>138879441
It is, and was, Zangestu. It may however look different, maybe fused Tensa style?
So what happened to hollow Ichigo? Is he still around to fuck shit up?
>>138878476
The origin story of the Soul King, Soul Society, Yhwach and the Quincy is already more interesting and complex, than the origin story turned out to be. It's morally also more complex, with many genuiely wondering if Yhwach is actually the true enemy and not someone else or even the Shinigami.
>>138879080
>no attention other than the back pages of Shonen Jump
the volume sales are more important but an anime boost would be nice right about now
>>138880367
The volume sales are directly influenced by the publicity of the manga, and Bleach had almost none for years.
>>138880367
It's depressing, I know Anon. Of all the shit that gets animated Bleach can't even get a thirty minute time slot.
>>138879803
Ichigo completely fused all his powers now. Hollow Ichigo, Old Man Zangetsu who was actually his Quincy powers, are both kinda absorbed into him now.
So right now his power is pretty much post-Dangai + properly realized Quincy powers which makes it stable and gives him dual wielding.
It's possible that when he uses Bankai/Mugetsu 2.0/whatever it'll have some Hollow elements to it which would be pretty cool.
>>138870530
All the old captains are pretty much jobbers, including Yama whose only redeeming point was being king of the jobbers.
It's a shonen manga, so the old generation naturally has to wither away to make way for the new sprouts so to speak. Oldfags can never keep up with the 'golden generation' that the MC belongs to.
But Bleachfags will naturally end up sucking the dick of their favorite character regardless of how obvious shonen manga tropes are in the series, citing quotes and headcanon interpretations instead of simply looking at the results, cause those characters are practically the entire reason they are still following this ink spill to begin with.
>>138876374
I'll fight you if you have more of that.
>>138880686
So no more "King and the horse" stuff?
Just fuck my shit up senpai
>>138880796
Yeah that's a thing of the past.
Ichigo is a perfect half human half shinigami half hollow half quincy half king half horse now.
>>138880796
He still has to communicate with his Zanpaktou like all Shinigami do
>>138881207
Does he though? He went pretty hardcore special snowflake for a bit, and at the end it seemed like he and Bachgetsu were saying goodbye to each other.

>>138865589
>implying we aren't going to see Thor change back to mini size again for his final form

>>138865589
Keep in mind that Kenpachi is been revived after fight many Quincy battles, so He's probably real strong at this point.
>>138883333
Unohana perma-unlocked him. Revival doesn't affect his overall power now.
>>138881854
Pic related has more chance to happen than Ichiruki
>>138883374
Unohana wan't strong enough to beat him anymore, he obviously got stronger now.
>>138883647
You are mistaken about the nature of his power lock.
He didn't lock his power because it was over, let's say, 1000 kenpachis (official Bleach power level unit) and had to keep it below that.
He locked it because he had more kenpachis than Unohana and if she died by his hand he wouldn't have anyone to enjoy battling.
Time passes, shit goes down.
She then proceeds to kill and revive him time and again, until he is able to let go of this sentiment and lift the limit he placed on himself.
From that point onward he had his full power at his disposal. Whether he used it to 100% or not remains to be seen (probably not), but being knocked the fuck out and returning doesn't grant him boost any longer.
>>138865589
But where is Yachiru??

Why doesn't Kubo give her more screentime? She's the most popular Shinigami.

Hitsugaya is.
And not only is she not the most popular shinigami, she doesn't even have the most popular ice zanpaktou
>>138885325

It's a japanese product. For the japanese, and their whims. Kubo is innocent.

It's a red herring anon.
Kubo has reduced Rukias appearance in the story so we think she's unimportant.
But soon BAM! He's going to pull out some ridiculous bullshit that will make her integral to the defeat of Yhwach.
The fallout on /a/ will be magnificent.
>>138886320
So much delusion in one post
>>138886320
>The fallout on /a/
Half the posters here are rampant IchiRuki shitposters and almost everyone likes Rukia to some extent.
But no she won't be integral to beating Yhwach. She'll be important as far as helping Ichigo but that's not necessarily the same thing.
>>138886399
Not nearly as much as in theories regarding Orihime. In Rukia's case there is the proof that she will play important role, while Orihimefags need all their imagination to make her special. Too bad she didn't do shit yet

I'm sorry for posting the truth, anon-kun.
>>138886622
She's Ken's spirit thing like Starrk.
>>138886691
>rukiafags are actually this delusional
Yhwach is in another fucking tier. I don't know why anyone thinks any conventional rules can possible be applied to him. He can, and probably will, wave his hand and nullify Rukia's bankai. Notice how Rukia wasn't a SWP. That means Yhwach can see any future involving her and anything she might do.
Rukia is probably going to be reduced to a motivator, as she has been in the past. And the longer this goes on the more I have doubts about Yhwach actually being the final boss and him being an enemy at all.
>>138886469
I just hope Rukia doesn't get a random powerup in order to keep up with Ichigo and Yhwach. I'm fine with Rukia and Orihime coming together to support Ichigo, but I really don't want either to receive a shit powerup.
>>138886622
she's zarakis sword u dummy
>>138887040
BUT RUKIA WILL STOP ZANKA NO TACHI!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HER SIGNIFICANCE!!1! SHE AND ICHIGO ARE DESTINED TO BEAT YHWACH1!1!
>>138887040
That's why Orihime will be important. She can reject the future.
Plus she's the Soul Queen. Or princess. Either works.
I bet neither Rukia or Orihime will be relevant to the closure of Bleach, and you fags will continue arguing for years with your headcanon.
>>138887411
But Rukia will stop Zanka no Tachi, anon
>>138885558
>Hyourinmaru is number three
>above Shinsou and Katen Kyoukotsu
>Ryujin Jakka not on the list
>>138887040
She isnt an swp, but Ichigo is. Yhwach cant see whatever effect she will have on him. Combined with uraharas deus ex shenanigans, it could be anything. But yeah, she will probably have a supporting role.
>>138887411
Would be funny.
>>138887152
>>138887465
Dude, chill. Its okay.
>>138886320
Well Urahara did say he was leaving everything up to "Kurosaki and Kuchiki" as he was dying, so unless Byakuya's gonna get some love, there's something with Rukia at least.
>>138865750
Does any fight matter?
>>138887035
>>138887122
So, which is it, weebs?
>>138887411
All we know at this point is that Ichigo and Orihime are going to fight Yhwach together. We don't know if that'll even happen, that's what we know now.
We also know that Urahara used dying breath to say Ichigo and Rukia. That's all we know.
Rukia countering Zanka no Tachi sounds perfectly plausible, why are people shitting on that theory? It's far from the most baseless or delusional theory Bleach readers have come up with.
>>138888015
Even if it isn't baseless, it's retarded.
>>138888015
They cant deal with Rukia's surge of power. Its pretty steep after all. And people generally see As Nodt as a weakling.
>>138888015
It's all about reiatsu powerlevels, and Rukia isn't even close to Yamamoto. Old man genocide is a reiatsu beast, he can crush vice captains with his mere presence and his bankai can destroy soul society if he just leaves it "on" for too long.
Rukia's powerful, but she'd get destroyed instantly
>>138875875
>Renji fodderized Mask yet was struggling with bazz b, he's a joke.
Renji wasn't struggling; it was even and Bazz-B was using Vollstandig. Also Bazz-B was one of the strongest non-elites.
>>138888015
It's only plausible because Kubo's a shitty writer and literally wrote in an all-knowing, omnipotent being with the ability to completely nullify any ability he understands.
There's realistically no way someone who can see the future can be surprised and if she Bankais in his presence then he should be able to just fucking turn it off. Not to mention Rukia is so far down on the powerscale that she should be crushed by Yhwach's reiatsu in general, the thought of any of her abilities being able to "counter" the strongest entity in Bleach thus far is laughable considering she couldn't even move without killing herself with Bankai last time.
>>138888162
I don't really buy into the whole "reiatsu is the only thing that matters" deal. I think Kubo could easily write a way for Rukia to counter Zanka no Tachi. Honestly though, I don't even see why Ywach would use Zanka no Tachi in the first place. He's too OP to even need it.
>>138888268
Rukia isn't that far down the powerscale anymore anon. She's captain level, she's not going to collapse under high reiatsu levels like Nanao did with Yamamoto during the SS arc. To be fair though, Ywach is so bullshit that I can't picture anyone being able to fight him. I have no idea how Ichigo is supposed to do anything against him.
>>138888378
>I think Kubo could easily write a way
That's irrelevant, Kubo can write whatever he wants.
Reiatsu is the only thing that matters, though. See how Aizen resisted to attacks that should've killed him.
>>138888268
>Yhwachs reiatsu
I dont think you understand how this works. Even with his bankai (it might have died with yama) he doesnt have the same reiatsu tanks as yama, because quincy. Besides, she only needs to give an opening.
>>138886691
>>138887040

Because it was Rukiafags that spew shit like that on daily basis since the hm arc

Anon I'm only saying that the theory obviously isn't terrible. I have no idea what Kubo has planned, or what he's planning on doing with Rukia in the future.
>>138888647
What am i looking at?
>>138886691
>>138888647
What are the odds that those posts were by one of you false flagging?
>>138888268
It's obvious that Bleach readers forget why Yhwach is invincible. There's literally no way the Quincies could lose.Even if Yhwach is sleeping Jugo has the Almighty; Jugo saw through Aizen's whole time deception thing.
>>138888852
See for yourself, there are tons of posts like this. Theories that Orihime might be godess, soul queen, yhwh's sister or just reject all quincy shit.
>>138888963
There is literally nothing wrong with stupid theories.
>>138888550
I'm not sure what you're implying here. Yhwach definitely has serious fucking reiatsu and is AT LEAST comparable to Yamamoto if not far surpassing that now that he's not only regained all the fractured parts of his soul he gave the SR but also absorbed Mimihagi and the goddamned Soul King. Yhwach explicitly says only he had the power to wield ZnT, which implies he was of a similar level to Yamamoto with all 26 SR still alive and he hadn't even touched the Royal Realm yet.
>>138888963
At least those theories would be fun.
>>138889148
unelss these theories involve Rukia, because then shitposting brigade charges
>>138888950
What about Uryuu? Does he have or not the Almighty?
>>138889217
Uryuu has "A" but it might not be the Almighty.
>>138889214
There's a different between stupid theories and retarded theories, anon-kun.
>>138889214
And here I thought playing the victim card was the Ichihime fags specialty.
>>138889368
There's a reason Orihimefags play the victim card, anon.
I wonder why.
>>138889430
Ichime is canon.
Search your feelings.
You know it to be true.
>>138889505
All I know in my heart is that Ichihime is shit.
>>138889167
I had forgotten that scene. Bummer.
In any case, Rukia got used to Soul Kings reiatsu in the Rr, and none of ichigos friends were affected by yhwach either. So come on. You're being too harsh on her.
>>138889214
Please, anon.
>>138889505
Yes, yes. Now be quiet, don't make people upset.
I've noticed a plothole, or inconsistency of sorts in regards to Yhwach's plans for future invasions.
Askin claims that Yhwach intends to simply tear down and rebuild the realms as he sees fit. But then why did he make the Sun Gate whose sole purpose is to create a path to the world of the living to invade it?
Was it the Sun Gate Ebern used when he appeared in front of Ichigo and co? Are all plans of real world invasion called off?
>>138889589
Orihime wasn't affected. I'm sure he wasn't showing off.
>>138889695
My bet is that he isn't planning to tear down the real world but rather will collapse the other worlds into it, which will put things back to the way they were before the Soul King.
Alternatively Kubo is making it up as he goes along.
>>138889771
So he collapses the spiritual realms onto the existing world of the living and creates a perfect world for quincies? I can dig that. Would give Ichigo and excuse to show off to all his normie human friends.
>>138889695
There are a lot of things about Yhwach and his plans that are inconsistent or flat out contradictory
Compare this...
>>138889835
We'd also get to see Orihime parents. Good thinking, LoN.
>>138889933
...with this
Yhwach makes the same claim as Aizen, that everything has been part of his plan and Ichigo has only been doing his bidding the entire time, so there's no reason to force him to his side.
Yet he was fully prepared to force Ichigo to surrender and MAKE him join the Quincy.
>>138889695
Suppose that he cant modify the human world through the garganta/void. I wonder if he can even do anything there
>>138889771
Suppose that he still needs the connection to do that. Like VOS in the first movie.
>>138889970
Why though. Where are they anyway. Supposedly their kids took off and they dont give a fuck?
>>138890005
Education is different though. Yhwach was sure that he wouldnt need to order ichigo, so he didnt plan to. It should be a great revelation, but he doesnt give any clues... annoying.
Who rewatching the anime status up in here?
>>138890182
Oh, I was poking fun at him. I guess if you want to be serious, it would be interesting to see who her parents were.
The beatings got so bad that her brother felt that she would have been killed. Who beats the shit out of a baby? To top it all off, her natural power is retarded, it'd be interesting to see what type of parents she had.
>>138890005
You have to keep in mind that subduing and bringing Ichigo in was a desperate measure. For whatever reason he does not want to kill Ichigo, fight Ichigo, or even be in the same realm as Ichigo. Ichigo to him is a variable he cannot predict. In one moment he says he's going to kill Ichigo, in another he says that Ichigo should come watch the end of the world with him and next he tells Ichigo to get the fuck out. If I didn't know better I'd say he was bipolar. Perhaps this too is to be blamed on The Conqueror. I honestly don't know.
At least Jugo is consistent in wanting to kill Ichigo as both The Father and The Conqueror. But then again he too is not capable of reading the future when Ichigo is present.
>>138890182
A couple chapter before that he tells Haschwalth that he plans to take an unconscious Ichigo to the Wandenreich and force him to join the Quincy, which is a bit different than saying "I'm going to teach him."
Then later in the same chapter of the first pic he tells Ichigo that everything he's done has been influenced by him from the start. So it was unnecessary from the start. By his own claims it's all been in preparation for Ichigo to kill the SK, which also means Ichigo reaching his full potential in the Royal Palace. Which never would have happened if Yhwach kidnapped him.
>>138890538
If yhwach had taken him, he could have later killed the soul king anyway. Did yhwach really mention getting trained in RR? Ichigo could've reached his full potential some other way.
>>138890270
I think that her brother was lying.
>>138890538
>Then later in the same chapter of the first pic he tells Ichigo that everything he's done has been influenced by him from the start. So it was unnecessary from the start.

Which never would have happened if Yhwach kidnapped him.
Yhwach didn't need Ichigo to kill the Soul King. He was perfectly capable of doing it himself. He made Ichigo do it because he's a dick.
>>138890703
Maybe, but that would make it even more interesting. Why lie? Why run away?
Furthermore, where did he get the hairpins he gave Orihime right before his death? The hairpins that contained all of her faeries.
>>138890705
I imagine he was capable of killing the Soul King himself but he chose not to for a reason.
I imagine some adverse effect will come to Ichigo when he faces Yhwach. Or perhaps it has something to do with Yhwach being the technical "savior" of the realms and Ichigo the "betrayer".
>>138890886
He kidnapped a random baby to be his imouto. Her power manifested in the pins because feelings.
>>138890957
Does he mean that all quincy power is meant to kill the soul king? Ishida's warning to aizen makes sense now, by the way. He was defeated with the power of the quincy.
>>138891162
I hope Soul Society can do DNA tests.

>>138894715
>Kenpachi bankai incoming.
He had several years to speak with his zanpakutou while in Mayuri's pod, so he may have actually achived bankai.
>>138894154
i'm an orihimefag who doesn't believe she has to have any plot relevance whatsoever beyond saying "good luck" or whatever to ichigo before he goes to fight Yhwach.
anybody who thinks that anyone in this series beside Ichigo, Aizen, and maybe Urahara really matters is delusional.
>>138895001
>He had several years to speak with his zanpakutou while in Mayuri's pod
Those were time capsules? I thought they were just mobile healing tanks
>>138893710
No one really thinks that since 2011.
>>138895352
They grow older while being healed in there. Hitsugaya is a few centimiters taller, for example, and Zaraki's hair looks longer.
Kubo should asspull something about this being equivalent to a power-up.
>>138895546
>No one really thinks that since 2011.
Exactly, since the massive newfag invasion of 2011.

Mayuri explains it just before he and Nemu enter the pods.
Next panel is him and her together in some kind of lucid dreaming (don't know if time accelerated or not).
>>138896410
Up to about 2009 I remember:
Serious discussion in massive Bleach threads.
Serious discussion in One Piece threads (but with a lot less posts than the Bleach one's, this pissed off many One Piece fans).
Naruto threads being saged to death (go back to Gaia, etc).
Then all went to shit, /a/ changed faster than normal, a few more things, happened and here we are.

Then that would make the whole backstory with him and Unohana really really weird.

Is Yachiru's arm still made of cookie?

>>138900412
We don't even know where she is. She disappeared shortly after this page:
>>138899776
She seemingly left her uniform behind, though.
>>138899814
If that's what it is, then I had some weird bit of fridge brilliance, Here's my stupid theory:She secretly is strong as fuck and has been since she was "born" in the soul society. Since she was so young, she couldn't control her power and had unwittingly released her bankai, aka Kenpachi, and he wandered about, not knowing who or what he was, met Unohana, and eventually rose to captain. Not sure how to explain her shikai.
Hopefully she makes a comeback at a critical moment to save Kenpachi with some asspu-I mean power-up, revealing the whole backstory.Maybe her being so small is her expelling so much energy, she never grew physically or mentally, and her realizing what happened will result in something like pic relatedAgain, stupid idea, but a nice "What if".
>>138900975
>adult yachiru
Is the Soul Society going to have a single major causality over the course the this war?
>>138901090
The Captain Commander is pretty definitively dead.
>>138901090
Well we lost Yamamoto and Ukitake, and right now urahara seems dead. Half of the Gotei 13 should have died years ago but we can't really say we lost no one this arc.
>>138900975
That's Nel all over again
>>138901090
No. Byakuya should have died and it could have made it a good arc, but Kubo is a shitfaced jap piece of trash.
>>138901122
>Nelliel already rushing to the rescue
>Urahara seems dead
Should have mentioned Ukitake.

I immediately had that thought soon after posting it.

>>138901090
>no one ever remembers Sasakibe
>>138901427
Sasakibe jobbed to ichigo pre Byakuya, you can't add in his backstory after he dies and expect us to care.
>>138893525
Who got the no.1 fight? I'm guessing one of Byakuya's.
>>138898725
I was under the impression Mayuri said the de-zombiefying procedure shorten their lifespan, not make them grow older. There's a difference anon.
>>138901492
I liked his backstory a lot even though it was a retcon, but all it did was piss me off because now I wish that Sasakibe didn't die. Him surviving and being healed up and then going to fuck up Quincy's with his cool ass bankai would have been awesome. Could have had an interesting plot where he lived and Yama still died. Kubo could have done so much more with him.
>>138901571
how the fuck do you shorten the lifespan of an immortal soul?
>>138901492
So did Isane and Omaeda yet people like them.
>>138901615
Who said souls were immortal?
>>138901507
Probably Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, it was amazing.
There are many characters dead, missing, zombified, badly injured, captured, of unknown condition or that we haven't seen in a while.
>>138901492
That wasn't a proper fight.
Also, Yamamoto would go bankai if he read you.
>>138901492
Backstory Kubo literally made up on the spot after he forgot prior events no doubt.
Like honestly, Ichigo took him out with a fucking palm-thrust in 2 seconds. You don't expect us to believe he was a Captain-class shinigami who has achieved Bankai and trained religiously for many years before most of the current captains were even born.
>>138901674
>it wasn't a proper fight
You're right, Ichigo didn't even use his zanpakuto.
>>138901662
Yama was how many thousands of years old?
>>138901709
inb4 "he was surprised!"
>>138901667
Nothing Ichigo related was in 13 blades, only those related to Gotei 13
>>138901615
Souls slowly age in Sereitei.
>>138901744
He just saw Ichigo stopped that giant fire bird thing that was the equivalent of a million Zampaktou or something, Sasakibe even had the time to release his shikai
>>138901786
Yeah he was honestly pretty shit. His bankai seemed cool though, too bad we never actually got to see it in action.
>>138901615
Ask Kubo, he's the on making this shit up, not me. Unless MS did their own translations for that chapter again.
>>138901571
Guess we'll have to ask Mayuri if the shortened lifespan is because of growing/aging or not.
>>138901748
wow, what a shame, I didn't read so I thought maybe it could be, but I still think that Ichigo Vs. Ulquiorra was the best fight in Bleach
>>138901507
>>138901667
13 Blades Top 10 fights:
1. Renji Abarai vs. Byakuya Kuchiki
2. Rukia Kuchiki vs. Aaroniero Arruruerie
3. Rukia Kuchiki vs. Aes Noedt
4. Gin Ichimaru vs. Sousuke Aizen
5. Shunsui Kyouraku vs. Coyote Starrk
6. Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Unohana Yachiru (Retsu)
7. Sui-Feng vs. Yoruichi Shihouin
8. Yumichika Ayasegawa vs. Charlotte Chuhlhourne
9. Mayuri Kurotsuchi vs. Szayelaporro Granz
10. Toushirou Hitsugaya vs. Ichimaru Gin
>>138901709
All three of them were took by surprise, everything was a mess. And we don't know what his bankai was. He was very good at Kidou for example (he created the barrier at Fake Karakura Town), and he's bankai was completely unsuitable for most situations.
>>138901953
>2. Rukia Kuchiki vs. Aaroniero Arruruerie
Disgusting.
>>138901719
>You're right, Ichigo didn't even use his zanpakuto.
Neither did he, Anon.
>>138901887
Why? It was a one-sided beatdown until Ichigo's hollow took over, then it was a one-sided beatdown in the other direction. Thematically it was a cool fight with a decent character but stuff like Ichigo vs Byakuya/Grimmjow will always be the best 'fights' in terms of actual combat.
>>138901998
>>138902031
>>138901786
Stay dead yamamoto
>>138901734
1000 years ago he founded the Shinigami Academy, but when he was "born" was never stated, I think.
>>138901998
We know what his bankai was, Driscoll used it against Yama, although he sucked at using it according to Yama.
>>138901998
>>138902031
He had enough time to activate his Shikai before he got btfo, he was shit.

That was Isane, I think Sasakibe took a punch on the face.
>implying Sasakibe wasn't shit
Literally Isane tier. Captain level my ass.
>>138902186
And Kenpachi can't even keep up with shikai Ichigo, right?
>>138901953
> Soifon vs. Yoruichi
> Renji vs. Byakuya
Nice.
> Gin vs. Aizen
Was that even a fight? Didn't it last like 30 seconds?
>>138902218
Kenpachi actually got a reasonable retcon. And SS Arc Ichigo was really fucking strong even just with Shikai, he had his resolve on point. Sasakibe got dumpstered with his shikai by unarmed Ichigo, never fought again, and then got wasted off screen effortlessly by Driscoll. He was shit.
>>138902293
During this arc.
Kenpachi was easily botton tier captain during SS arc, even without eyepatch. His feats during the Hueco Mundo arc was a complete asspull.
>started to randomly fall in love with Rukia
What the fuck. I was strictly only into the dyke chick Tatsumaki or whatever her name is, Ichigo's female bestie
>>138902387
Did you forget when Kenpachi easily shit on Tousen and Komamura during the SS arc?
>>138902415
Just let it happen.
>>138902415
>Started to randomly fall in love with literally who.
Sure Rukiafag, sure.
>>138902458
Did you forget when Gin restrained Kenpachi like he was a joke character?
>>138902528
Gin is top tier. And yeah, it was a comedy scene from what I can remember.
>>138902415
Tatsuki. And if those are her preferences I'd love to pair her with Soifon.
>>138902387
He soloed 2 other captains, broke every other person who crossed his path, and lost to Ichigo due to the biggest asspull the series had to see to date AFTER fighting at reduced strength and having jogged around SS for 2 days straight looking for the Ryoka.
Saskibe having Bankai is unlikely, but Kubo threw in that quick "He refused to ever use it except in dire situations on Yamamoto's behalf" as an excuse why he didn't use it before. Him getting dumperstered by Ichigo had more to do with the fact with was a thin old man long past his prime, and unlike Yama he wasn't a god tier genocide engine, so he wasn't able to keep up with kids in his old age.
There are worse Retcons in Manga than the second in command of the strongest squad having Bankai.
>>138867673
>>138902574
>Saskibe having Bankai is unlikely
Yamamoto stated it himself.
Sasakibe was great at organizational skills, that's why he was the second of the first.
Isane's case is similar.
Remember when Hitsugaya said that 10 Vasto Lordes would be enough to wipe out Soul Society, and then they fought Arrancar Vasto Lordes and they were just Captain level?
>>138902986
Only Ulquiorra and above were Vasto Lordes and it took multiple captains to take on each of them, except Ulquiorra that was done in by the other strongest Hollow in the series.
>>138902986
Remember when the Arrancar were hyped up as ridiculously strong when Grimmjow invaded the human world with his fraccion? And then the Espada failed to win a single fight in the entire arc?
>>138903022
I wonder if Ulqiorra would have lost to anyone else during the HM arc. Shame he got Kubo'd.
>>138902186
fuck that webm, damn bleach was so fucking cool. now i have to watch it all again.
>>138903060
He would have gotten fodderized by old man genocide.
>>138903100

>>138866950
Why do fuckers feel the need to shit up every Bleach thread with shipping? I can't wait for Kubo to take a shit on all of you when he ends Bleach with no cannon pairings
>>138903235
This happens whenever Rukia is mentioned. Besides that, there's one shitposter who tries to make people upset by mentioning Ichihime.
>>138903235
That would be the best option by far.
Mass butthurt everywhere. Shippers fighting each other while trying to prove that obviously that last panel implies they won.
Would the butthurt surpass NaruSaku?
>Harribel was defeated in off-screen

Unohana, Kenpachi, Sasakibe and Kira are all definitely dead. Ukitake is almost definitely dead, and some of the other captains that just fought are on the fence. We also haven't seen Kensei/Rose lately have we?
>>138901492
>>138901709
It's pretty simple to say that he just has a good shikai/bankai and isn't that great with an unreleased sword. Ichigo blitzed him and knocked him out with pure power before he could release anything.
>>138901593
That's not what retcon means.
>>138903896
>Kenpachi
>definitely dead
Did you even read the last chapter?
>>138903531
Even his fight against Byakuya?
>>138903943
He released his sword though, and he still got shit on. He couldn't even react to Ichigo's speed.
>That's not what retcon means.
You know what it means in that context. Kubo obviously never planned that early on for Sasakibe to be a strong fighter.
>>138902528
That was a gag scene, and Gin really was far above Kenpachi at that point.
>>138902986
Anyone that says this didn't pay enough attention. There were only 4 vasto lordes in Aizen's army and that was close to enough. 10 would have been more than enough to wipe out SS.
>>138903896
>We also haven't seen Kensei/Rose lately have we?
They should be dead, zombiefied and imposible to dezombiefy.
>>138903235
It's because Bleach threads on /a/ have so many Rukia fans that it's easy to troll by talking about shipping.
>>138903944
Sorry, I meant Yamamoto not Kenpachi.
>>138896410
Bleach was absolutely despised in 2009 at around the Deicide arc, the hate almost got as bad as it did for Naruto. This was also the same year of Whitebeard's death and when One Piece fags turned into insufferable smug cunts.
>>138903984
>He released his sword though, and he still got shit on. He couldn't even react to Ichigo's speed.
You're right but I still think that same point stands for his bankai just being strong.
>You know what it means in that context. Kubo obviously never planned that early on for Sasakibe to be a strong fighter.
Since when is having a bankai enough to qualify you for "strong fighter"? He's clearly shown at the same level as multiple other VCs who could potentially become captains, which isn't exactly high tier stuff.
>>138903465
Remember that the Fullbring arc was supposed to be Chad's time to shine.

>>138905611
2009-2010 was a wild ride for /a/, and not the good kind. The threads had more bashing than actual discussion, and to make matters worse we had Narutofags and OnePiecefags come and shit up the threads even further. This was the time when Bleach was actually Big 3 and there was so much competition between the fanbases.
>>138904053
Well technically they can be de-zombiefy like Hitsugaya, they will just be useless corpse instead of fighting as the living dead
>>138875306
I fucking love these memes
>>138905822
Then how is Kira alive and fighting? Mayuri can revive the dead now.
>>138905973
I believe that the novel said Kira is not strictly speaking alive.
He is merely an overpowered puppet.
On the other hand, Mayuri having created life from nothing might allow him to pursue that experiment farther.
>>138903984
while I'll agree that it was probably a retcon ,this isn't true:
>He couldn't even react to Ichigo's speed.
he's the only one of the three to actually react to Ichigo, although he's still too slow to do anything about it. Comparatively, Omaeda gets sucker punched and Isane stares at Ichigo like a cow at an oncoming train, so he's clearly of a higher caliber than either of those 2 (not that that is saying much).
I find it acceptable that he was simply caught off-guard because nobody really expected some random to be as strong as Ichigo was, and most people are still in shock from the Sokyoku being destroyed
>>138905973
Kira is dead, he's just still fighting as a corpse.
>>138906225
Going by Oomaeda's later speed feats, it might balance things a little. That is, Ichigo is shown faster than some pretty fast people.
Plus he was trained by Yoruichi, so the fact that he is damn fast is obvious.
And the chapter was named The Speed Phantom.
>>138888378
>I don't really buy into the whole "reiatsu is the only thing that matters" deal. I think Kubo could easily write a way for Rukia to counter Zanka no Tachi.
Because, you know, it would feel completely anti-climatic and disappointing. If Rukia can somehow counter Yamamoto's bankai, maybe the next moment Orihime will reject Yhwach's Almighty and render him powerless too.
>>138901709
>Captain-class shinigami
he had bankai and thats all you can say

>>138888152
>As Nodt as a weakling

>>138907479
You understand Bleach powers work conceptually, not physically, right? Beside, if her bankai really reachs absolute zero, she should be long dead right after activating it.
>>138883333
Did he get a zenkai boost?
>>138907559
She actually dies when reaching absolute zero in shikai, at least according to her.
>>138907559
And Yama should be long dead the second he activates his zanpakuto as well right? Oh wait no, that's not how magic sword powers work.
This is what happens when you have like 200 goddam characters and they all have fans wanting more screen time. You get arcs that last decades. Kubo will die before bleach gets finished.
>kills off some characters
>lol jk zombies
>kills off captains
>lol jk some asspull why Zaraki is alive
Just keep them dead. Kubo. No one would bat an eye lash.
>>138907597
That's exactly what I mean. Their powers don't work literally like their description. It's magic, so don't expect flame to not burn while someone active an "absolute zero" power.
>>138907673
We have literally no idea how their powers would interact with each other.
>>138907690
We have, actually. The one with more reiatsu a.k.a "power level" will somehow become unaffected by weaker opponent's power. The prime example is how Soi-fong failed to kill Aizen with her killing move.
>>138907632
>last decades
That just how Kubo works
Better than one piece where they move onto the next island and repeat the same shit they did before
>>138907726
>Soi-fong failed to kill Aizen with her killing move.
this didnt happen it was all Kyoua Suigetsu
>>138907690
>We have literally no idea how their powers would interact with each other.
Yes we do. Rukia is way too far below Yhwach to have any chance of countering him bankai vs bankai.
>>138907726
There have been many times in the series where someone with less Reiatsu has beaten someone with more.
>>138907632
There have been plenty of characters that died this arc. Also Kenpachi never even appeared to be dead and you're retarded if you thought he was.
>>138907801
The problem is how big the gap is. You can bridge a small gap with strategy, luck, skill, having a power that counters etc, but there isn't a whole lot you can do when someone is completely out of your league unless you have something really bullshit like the almighty or kyoka suigetsu.
>>138907829
Well Kubo is the king of bullshit. He's going to have to bullshit Ichigo into beating Ywach, he can do it for Rukia too.
>>138907801
Look like I didn't state it accurately, when I said "a.k.a power level", I mean how strong a character is according to the plotline. For example, tier 0 characters like Aizen, Yama and Yhwach can't possibly be beaten by anyone other than other tier 0 character or the protagonist, so a support character like Rukia is a no-no. Only in a parody or gag show you can see an irrelevant support character beating the big boss instead of the MC.
>>138907868
The theory Orihime rejecting Ywach's future vision sounds more plausible at this point.
>>138907868
Ichigo was like 3 tiers above Rukia even before he got his new zanpakto, it's far more realistic to bring him up to Yhwach than it is to bring both of them up. Might as well have Chad, Uryu, Renji and Orihime all fight him evenly as well.
>>138907935
Rukia has already proven herself to be a better fighter than the majority of the jobbers in this manga. She beat an espada with only her shikai and kido, and she got a massive boost to her shikai as well as getting a bankai, and beat a sternritter. She has accomplished much more than multiple captains have.
Yhwhs Almight has already been circumvented on at least 1 occasion
Lets not forget that Yhwh is not changing the present, nor the future he sees. Hes following a strict guideline that leads to something. AS to what that something is. Is to be determined. For all we know its to die, be defeated or to leave someone else in charge
>>138908000
You're exaggerating her accomplishments a lot. She beat the weakest espada out of pure luck and then managed to beat one of the weaker, gimmicky sternritters only because Byakuya saved her from the gimmick and allowed her to recover. She's basically done equally to the weakest captains which is nothing to be impressed with.
>>138908067
She's accomplished way more than shitters like Rose, Kensei, and Shinji, all of whom are captains. And being Captain level is extremely impressive regardless.
>>138908067
>She beat the weakest espada out of pure luck
its worse than that. She needed Byakuya to come and bail her ass out because As Nodt's Vollstandig completely paralyses her with fear.
So yeah, her greatest accomplishment is beating a fairly low tier espada with the help of Byakuya.
>>138908160
>its worse than that. She needed Byakuya to come and bail her ass out because As Nodt's Vollstandig completely paralyses her with fear.
>So yeah, her greatest accomplishment is beating a fairly low tier espada with the help of Byakuya.
You are mixing up like 2 fights seperated by like 300 chapters
>>138908102
>She's accomplished way more than shitters like Rose, Kensei, and Shinji, all of whom are captains.
She has but only because Kubo hates the vizards and wants to have them job all the time. She isn't actually stronger than any of them though. You could make arguements for her being stronger than Komamura/Soi-Fon now but she seems to be way too much of a glassor icecannon to actually take on an enemy stronger than her with her bankai.
>And being Captain level is extremely impressive regardless.
Not when we're talking about being useful against Yhwach. People are already skeptical about Ichigo being at a level to fight him, you really think a much weaker Rukia who got less of a power up in the Royal Realm is going to contribute meaningfully past support?
>>138908193
wow. I should probably go to bread.
anyway, the short of it is, she's never done anything amazing that merits her fighting Yhwach in any shape outside of giving Ichigo a nakama power up
>>138908000
She had like a 100 years of training and gets her ass kicked by a random hollow in the very first chapter.
>>138908259
The only way Rukia will be able to get to this level is by making this personal to her, otherwise I agree she has no business fighting Ywach.
How Kubo will tie her in to the story is the biggest mystery right now.
>>138908349
less than 40 years and she was in the accademy for less than a year before before being pulled out by Byakuya
And the only reason she had a remote issue against that hollow is because Ichigo kept distracting her, and endangering himself
>>138908379
>How Kubo will tie her in to the story is the biggest mystery right now.
he probably won't. She didn't show up for Deicidie (well, not until Aizen was defeated anyway), I'd be surprised if she does some meaningful now
>>138908349
She was depressed as fuck and was pretty much wanting to die at that point in the story, everyone in SS knew it, even Aizen.
Come to think about it she trained to her full potential until after she met Ichigo.
>>138908349
The concept of all that time for Shinigami and Hollows is just thrown out the window in Bleach at this point with how much strength increases and flips around in the relatively much shorter span of time the series takes place in, even with all the vague nonsense like the Hogyoku's side effects.
>>138908443
The fuck are you talking about?
>>138906320
Then Rose and Kensei can be fighting and corpses, too.
>>138908497
They could be, the question is will they. It's a lot easier to justify turning a comrade into a fighting corpse during a war than it would be after it's over.
>>138908420
Then why would Urahara mention her?
>>138908584
probably a call back to the start of the series. Urahara apologizing for getting them both mixed up in all this when he figures he's about to die. Maybe she's going to be important, but I don't really see it
>>138908571
>justify
No need to worry about them when Mayuri's the one who revives them.
>>138908812
*about that
>>138908379
>How Kubo will tie her in to the story
She will be the uninvited guest in Ichigo and Orihime's wedding.
>>138908812
Mayuri gets away with a lot of stuff, but I think everyone would be against doing that to former captains if the quincies have already been defeated. And I doubt he cares enough to fight for it/sneak behind peoples back since hes already 'been there done that' with Kira, he'll probably be interested in something else like remaking Nemu.
>>138909008
Before this war ends Nemu will be remade
>>138909064

There would be way more butthurt if Ichigo and Orihime end up together. If there isn't any direct shipping ending, IchiRuki shippers would just point to symbolism and parallels to the reason that Ichigo and Rukia ended up together anyway.
However, if Orihime ends up with Ichigo, there'd be such a shitstorm.
I hope we see best girl alive and well soon.

Dead means useless, and doing nothing. Kira is the living "dead", and is doing something. He had a badass re-entry. God bless Kubo giving side characters some panel time.
>>138908636
>Urahara apologizing for getting them both mixed up in all this
The entire world is threatened and it has nothing to do with Urahara or Aizen's machinations; this has been in motion for a thousand years! Urahara wouldn't be apologizing for dragging them into it, especially not them specifically. Ichigo and Rukia both have a critical role in Urahara's plan, whatever it is.
>>138915798
No dead means dead. He's doing something but he still died and has remained dead.
>>138915531
If Ichigo ends up in Soul Society along with Rukia and Orihime stays in the present world, the shipping conclusion will be obvious even if Kubo doesn't spell it out.
If I remember right, in the past, a dead soul would just vanish in Bleach, they would cease existing.
How come dead souls are still tangible now?
>>138916013
The rate at which dead souls vanish is variable.

It depends upon the strength of the soul.

Dead has a pretty clear definition. He is no longer living, he is a shambling corpse due to the horrors of science but he is definitely not still alive. Being an active participants in fights doesn't mean you're automatically alive.

Poor naive soul, even if Kubo writes in epilogue that Rukia/Orihime and Ichogo lived happily ever after there're always gonna be fighting and nothing will silence the losers. This shit is way bigger than in Naruto so you can expect years of fighting after Bleach ends
>>138916474
>Yoruichi still a best
She was a complete shit in that chapter, you would think we would see her being competent as a really strong captain class but no she's just idiotic Urahara's sexy kitty who can't win on her own and just jobs as usual while in the embarrassing almost nude catgirl form...
Sorry but that was shit tier of what Kubo could do with her.

There are living bodies and there are soul bodies, both are alive and can be killed. Once they are killed they are dead, regardless of if its a living body or a soul body. No wonder you're having problems understanding that Kira is a cyborg zombie if the basics of the Bleach world are still confusing you.
>>138916710
