>zaraki uses bankai
>effortlessly beats the miracle
>stronger than Byakuya & Hitsugaya combined
So, is his Bankai just a major power boost?
Also Bleach 669
>mfw only person on /a/ that reads bleach now
well ok
>>139750696
what? no, multiple anons keep riding on kubo's cock, i don't know how there's no one else
I ride Kubo's cock on a daily basis. It's just that Zaraki doesn't interest me much.
>>139750361
>>139750696
I was let down I thought he was going to become a cannibal when I first saw his stance and face. On some Neo shit
Honestly, it's the most boring bankai ever.
>>139751014
He doesn't interest me either, and honestly I want this whole fight to be just over.
I mean we get it. He's a beast that defies logic. Not much else to say
Even though we all know Miracle Man will survive this shit with a new bullshit super regeneration power, it was still hype as fuck.
Also
>"his skin... is red!"
>>139750361
>beats the miracle
KEK we still have four chapters into this particular fight to go, newb
This seems like the sort of thing that would work best animated
>pure screaming fury
>crazy burning red skin
This is some wrath of asura shit.
>>139751339
it finally happened
people said it wouldn't but it did
now I can finally die
goodbye
>>139750361
It's a power boost. Though he looks like a savage beast now. I wonder if he can revert back under normal conditions or if he's stuck like that (like the Hulk or something). Can't think of any character in the series with as much raw power as Zaraki now. It's a pretty suitable Bankai, didn't expect anything else in all honesty.
>>139751237
>>139751339
What happened to the markings on his face in this? Did kubo forget to draw them?
>>139751461
The big 4 gamechangers have had simple bankais that just improve what they had
>Ichigo: speed and power
>Urahara: puzzle master
>Yama: super fire power
>Ken: Absolutely fucking ridiculously immeasurable power
Seriously, if miracle bro has enough power to destroy SS by falling over, and Ken just effortlessly bullied him, what the fuck would all that power do?
>>139751208
>more boring than hitsugayass
>>139750361
It's clearly leading to Berserker Kenpachi Vs. Ice-kun and Byakuya.
>>139751629
They're not markings, they're the shadows from his horns.
>>139750361
So weren't Bankais meant to be something big considering how /a/ considers Yamamoto's big & Ichigo's pre-dual wield Bankai not counting?
>strong guy
>opponent gets power up
>stomps strong guy
Nobody suspects it to happen the nth time.
>>139752068
the fuck are you talking about? pretty sure that's not how shadows work
I don't understand how Bleach is managing to get worse as time goes on. Even fucking Fairy Tail has novel concepts every month or so but Bleach is this non-stop slog for me to read.
I'd drop it but I'm this far in already, I want to see how the train wreck finally finishes.
>>139750696
If only, then we could kill you and there would never be another Bleach thread again.
PREDICTION:
>Miracle split in half evenly
>both sides regenerate into a full Miracle
>pretty even 2v1
>Ken goes absolutely batshit and levels half of SS to kill them
wow this chapter sure was surprising
I honestly expected it to be something like this. 11th company is all about raw power, and his Shikai shows as much.
>>139752361
They are.
kaioken x20
HES A FUCKING ONI
>>139752361
They don't work like that, but then again this is a Japanese medium, and you know how shadows are drawn in Japanese media. Every girl has two even shadows under her boobs, no matter how big or small.
>>139751447
Wait anon, don't leave us. We've still got Aizen's bankai to be shown, and it'll probably reboot the shitty universe of Bleach so Kubo could keep milking it forever.
>>139752739
>pic related
My body would not be ready
>>139754986
Aizen's bankai won't happen, he's not really a shinigami anymore
Kubo also hates writing Bleachhow else could you explain the rapidly decreasing quality?
>>139755477
Aizen's bankai twist is that Kyoka Suigetsu is the bankai of his Zanpaktou.
Think about it, Zangetsu, Engetsu, Suigetsu. That nigga is family.
>>139755339
This retard just had to pop out of the ground and reveal how his entire gimmick works
Remind me, have we seen Byakuyas strength after the As Nodt assfucking he received? Did he get the same caliber of boost as Rukia or none at all? He used his shikai more like a Bankai or something but was that it?
Is Renji stronger than him now? Why is Byakuya such a bitch now?
>>139756667
All his fights have been off screen since then, except when he manhandled hisagi with his bare hands.
>>139756667
Byakuya was probably close to his maximum Bankai potential, but his Shikai had been neglected. Now his Shikai is much closer to his Bankai power level.
Rukia and Renji were much less advanced, so they both got huge boosts.
>>139755722
Zabimaru, Hyorinmaru, Gonryoumaru, Hisagomaru, Tengumaru, Hozukimaru...
>>139757256
-maru is a generic as fuck name suffix, though. -getsu is less common and means moon, and the moon is very prominent in Bleach.
>>139752739
>thor never used his vollstanding
>they steal kenpachi's bankai
>>139757335
And that somehow proves Aizen is related to Shibas, huh?
Get this, faggot: Kaien was actual family, and his zanpakuto was called Nejibana.
>>139750361
Its not just that, its Zaraki unleashed. For the first time he's going all out. No eyepatches, no "I'm gonna use one hand because otherwise this would be boring". No "I'm fighting in my sealed state, but I'm still gonna kick your ass". This is finally Zaraki in his truest form. He's finally unleashed his potential and become a demon. I would'nt really say its a power boost. Its more like all his limitations have been stripped away; everything that was holding him back from savoring true battle has finally been removed, and it is gorgeous.
>>139757486
fucking this
but I bet that he will attack Hitsugaya and Byakuya at least once
I mean, he's like a beast now
>>139757386
good luck trying to use it, this really is a Bankai only Zaraki can use. Its a physical augmentation and a removal of limits; if anyone else tried using it they'd burn themselves out so fast they wouldnt even have a chance to land a blow. Its really more like the 8 gates that Gai from Naruto uses than a Bankai, in the sense that it relies heavily on the user himself having an exceptionally strong body
>>139757486
He has become death incarnate.
>>139757656
I wonder who is going to stop him if he attacks them, they shouldn't be able to do anything. Kido might do the thing and Hachi is around, maybe he and Tessai contain him with some bakudou and barriers
>>139757877
Every new bankai except 2 failed so what are the chances this one will fail too?
Will love show off Blue oni?
i hope aizen reveals its all been a fucking dream sequence since he looks at ichigo at end of soul society arc and was charging his lazor or some shit as ichigo snaps out of it and then heart.
>>139757944
Byakuya remembers he can do that thing he used to destroy Ichigo's borrowed Shinigami powers. Kenpachi becomes a Muggle, but he won't mind because a nerf means many strong enemies to fight.
>>139757429
>Kaien was actual family
where
how
How much longer? It seems Yhwach and Toofsy are the only ones left
>>139757486
You sound like a faggot
>>139758442
oh sthtop it, you're making me blush
>>139758207
I doubt he can land that thing on anyone who is above vice captain level. Zaraki's bankai might have a time limit though and looking at him it looks like when he reverts to the sealed form, he'll be out of the fight till the end of the series
>>139758511
So you're that type
>>139758611
the type to fuck you like the shameless lipstick wearing buttslut you are?
But where is Yachiru?
>Pure speed and power boost
I got everything i expected.
>>139758390
Not him, but you know his name is Kaien fucking Shiba.
>>139758780
The type that has those delusions when in reality you'd be a cock addicted fuccboi
>>139759065
I need to know.
Where does these pics come from ?
This is so terrible but I keep watching.
Damn NiggaStream scan cleaner is so fucking shit, anything that's shaded get's all scrappy, just look at the lines on Kenpachi in the bottom panel.
>>139750361
>So, is his Bankai just a major power boost?
People that have fancy-shmancy Bankai powers are mostly those that are skilled with Kidō. In turn, those that have absolutely no skill with it (like Ichigo or Zaraki) get only massive straight power boost.
Which is fine by me, better to have him fighting at full power at all times than to have some kind of "warm up" mechanic that has already been done to death.
>>139758851
Isn't she his sword?
>>139758173
>Every new bankai except 2 failed so what are the chances this one will fail too?
Gotta be at least 80%. That victory was way too quick, and there's no reason to expect that slicing in two will be too much for the Miracle.
>>139759461
I knew he looks familiar. That is a pretty close Lobo likeness.
>>139758851
Page 1.
>>139755477
No he doesn't. He's clearly been having fun with the latest arc with how out there the abilities and twists have been.
>>139757486
But anon...
He still isn't using two hands. The unlimited power source of kendo is still an option.
>>139759988
>>139760143
But that is so stupid even for Kubo. The real Yachiru must be somewhere else and what Ken see is an illusion.
>>139758390
Oh my goodness, anon...
>>139760743
Where have you been all this past week? Not only have anons been calling it for years these chapters also she some light on the little clues in their flashbacks. At some point you've had to have wondered how he came across a baby in the middle of nowhere that grew up to be a vice-captain level fighter.
>>139760743
Yachiru was never real. She was a figment of everyone's imagination. A manifestation of a sword spirit brought into reality.
>>139760964
NO NOOOOOOO
How could my little sword spirit be this cute?
>>139751237
>"his skin... is red!"
Why is she so perfect?
>>139760743
>Stupid for Kubo to have a sword be walking around
Stark says hi.
>>139761218
I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Now take Tumbyoruichii and go.
>>139755722
Kyoka Suigetsu is a 4-kanji phrase (yojijukugo) meaning "Mirror-flower, water moon," referring to that which can be seen but not touched, as a flower in a mirror and the moon in the water. Its power, generating illusions, alludes to this.
>>139751339
His voice actor is perfect and could definetly make this a highlight of the anime just like full hollow Ichigo screaming
So it's just Tensa Zangetsu?

Is Zaraki really a Shinigami? His Bankai has more in common with Resureccion
>alters his physical appearance; we've seen Shinigami whose clothes change with their weapons, but this is probably the first time we've seen a Shinigami whose body was altered by releasing their Zanpakuto
>Most of his Bankai's power is concentrated in his body. The sword itself is just a really sharp meat cleaver; its the reverse of Ikkau's Bankai, where his weapon was meting most and had its own goddamn energy bar
>Loses his mind; I don't think we've ever seen a Bankai that actually altered its users mind. He has more in common with Hollows like Grimmjow and Yammy who became noticeably more bloodlusted when they released
I dont think he's a Hollow exactly, but he seems to have an awful lot in common with them from what we've seen in this chapter. Perhaps he's actually a legit demon who acquired Shinigami powers somehow; after all, the Bleach Hell Movie confirms the existence of demons from Hell in the Bleach universe
>>139757386
What if his vollstandig was the wings he grew before getting sliced in half?
>>139761479
Nah, Tensa Zangetsu only offered speed stats and black Getsuga Tenshou's. Whatever sword Zaraki's using gave him the full package; speed, strength, cutting ability and probably enhanced durability
>>139762421
This entire post is literally everything that is wrong with Zaraki as a character. The only facets of him that are even remotely interesting are the fucking speculations and headcanons about him. By himself, he's just a fucking 1D, RIP AND TEAR boring piece of shit.
>cut
>cut harder
>CUT HARDER WITH A VENGENCE
This is the entire summation of his "character development" throughout the entire series. Why does Kubo keep shoving him down our throats if he doesn't even do anything with him at all? This faggot is literally an edgy fifth grader's OC in manga form.
>>139762772
>this whole post
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>139762772
Level 0 readers never cease to amaze me.
>>139762772
You're mostly right, but there are some nuances to him as a character that make people like him besides the fact that he's an edgy berserker
>Has a code: Will only fight opponents that can challenge him and will kill only when they insist of continuing to fight after he's grown bored
>Lonely wandering ronin: Its a trope, sure, but people love the mystery of a lonely master swordsman traveling the world in search of a good death
>Untapped secret potential: We've finally come to the end of Zaraki's journey. We've seen hi grow from a captain who didn't know or care about his soul cutter to someone who has reclaimed his past and has fulfilled his full potential. Its not a deep character arc by any means, but hey.
>Yachiru: Brings out another dimension to his character that isn't just murder n' chill.
He could've been developed a bit better, but Kubo knew Zaraki fans arent the kind of people who write posts on 4chan about character development and all that shite
>>139760366
true, but lets be honest, Bankai Zaraki isn't exactly in the right state of mind to remember that. Maybe he'll use Kendo to finish the Miracle off without actually meaning to
>>139762421
>His Bankai has more in common with Resureccion
My thoughts exactly.
It only makes him slightly more different than most, though. Bankai comes in all shapes, forms and sizes. Thinking anything beyond that is just your typical pseudo intellectual bullshit of a Level 5 reader wannabe.
>>139756667
I>>139756875
Still have not seen the new Bamako for Byakuya. And yeah, his new shikai is comparable to his old bankai. His new bankai will be a special sight. He keeps pace with rival kenpachi so it will be comparable to kens new strength.
>>139763958
Pretty sure Mayuri and Urahara already confirmed the only difference between Shikai/Bankai and Resurrection is the type of reiatsu being produced, so we good.
>>139762892
>>139763185
Go ahead and defend your special faggot snowflake STRONKEST BADASS character, samefag. Why don't you tell us all how DEEP he is, and about the subtle nuances of how he USES TWO HANDS SOMETIMES.
Dumb faggots. Unohana was legitimately a billion times more interesting than this cunt, with ancient history in the formation of the Soul Society and the first Blood War, and even a giant adorable lieutenant who wanted to rub clit with her. And yet we're stuck with this testosterone garbage pile of edgyfaggot powerlevel wank material. By all means, attempt to justify that you cumslurping fagtron.
>>139764189
>>139764189

>>139763419
>Kubo knew Zaraki fans arent the kind of people who write posts on 4chan about character development and all that shite
Yeah, because their parents usually block those kind of sites, anon. Since Zaraki was written to be appreciated by chuuni faggots who get bullied relentlessly and dream their power being maximum like their heroes Broly and Zaraki.
>>139762615
Also remember that Tensa Zangetsu wasn't really his bankai at full potential. So it makes sense for Zaraki's bankai to give him more boosts than T.Z.
Kenny is growing a third eye and horns.
>>139764289
this faggot gets it.
>>139764189
this guys just mad for some gay-ass reason, maybe he thinks he's being funny, I dunno.
>>139755339
>her robe
>his body
Wat
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo just has "badass psycho captain" written next to his first character design sketches for Zaraki. He probably just planned for Zaraki to be a crazy-ass psycho murderer that would show readers how dangerous Soul Society can be. Was probably pretty suprised Zaraki wound up being one of the most popular characters in the series
>>139764189
>mad Unohana fag
Why do I even bother. The irony here is that Unohana is a significantly underdeveloped character, especially compared to Zaraki.
>>139755339
wait, what was this fags gimmick again?
>>139764762
He couldn't be attacked by something he'd seen before.
>>139764728
b-but anon, muh big-titty MILF waifu!
>>139764644
Honestly his design is way too intricate for that; for instance, the hair bells to help his enemies sense his presence. Given how much development both he and Ichigo got from their encounter in Soul Society means Kubo knew exactly what he was doing with Zaraki.
>>139764793
that's laughably bottom-of-the barrel, even worse than having the power to mimic someone in appearance only
>>139764644
That was literally Gin. He even said he was surprised people liked him.
>>139750361
>So, is his Bankai just a major power boost?
I don't get why people are surprised by this. Look at the other two now-sidelined captains - their Bankai are "more flower petals" and "more ice"
Kenpachi's being "more rampant bloodlust and cutting people into tiny little pieces" makes perfect sense.
>>139764762
He could "wind" the space around him, causing things to bend and twist and distort to redirect opponents and attacks. That's "Why-nd" the verb not "Win-d" the noun.
>>139765015
Not only that, but it seems to mitigate Zaraki's biggest issue; the fact that he will unconsciously hold his own power back so he can enjoy the fight more.
>>139764728
At least she had potential, anon. What does Zaraki have other than being a "mysterious nameless boy" who somehow effortlessly wounded the most insanely powerful combatant Shinigami who had never once been wounded in a thousand+ years and during any of her battles against Ywach in the first Quincy Wars? Will we ever even get an explanation for that other than "Japanese male in a shonen"?
So a bit of a stretch here, but is it possible Yhwach and Ichigo's powers might end up resembling time stopping?
Fake Zangetsu stopped time to power up Ichigo against Kenpachi, and Mugetsu was described as cutting through time (might be bad translation).
>>139765134

I know you're being sarcastic here, but you still got me for a second.

Is Level 4 Reader the new codeword for cum-drinking faglord? Because if so, you are one hell of a Level 4 Reader, anon. Kudos.
>>139765204
eh, I actually agree with him. Zaraki's intro and fight with Ichigo was really well done and had a lot of thought put into them now I think about it. And he had a sizable role to play after his fight with Ichigo, so he wasn't just a midlevel boss for Ichigo to fight.
>>139764301
T.Z. didn't give any less boosts than Zaraki's.
Hell, the hollow form he rekt Ulquiorra in was just more of his bankai's powers leaking out.
>>139750361
His sword looks like it's broken, Oetsu needs to come back and upgrade it.
>>139750361
>>139765476
Wasn't Zaraki's shikai meant to be huge? Does Kubo just suck at perspective?
>>139765204
You're literally a Level 0 reader.

>Anyone cares about your opinion

We're having fun, you're not.
>>139765595
It has the same shape as his Shikai sword, it's just tiny now, so did it shrink?
>>139765542
Oh yes, you definitely drink jizz at at least a secondary school level, anon. You should be proud of yourself. Few people ever reach the level of self-important delusion where they weave their own headcanons into paltry, bare-bones narratives and pretend that they have some higher level of intellect that graces them with the unique mental prowess necessary to see that what normal plebs would categorically view as a lame, one-dimensional walking cliche of a character as the truly deep, intriguing paragon of nihilism with a wicked sense of humor that it truly is. You're a real scholar among savages, and that's why you drink your own semen.
>>139765674
None of us are having fun, we're just stuck on this ride until it's over.
Last good chapters were Ichigo getting his new swords and the Hollow/Zangetsu conclusion, and Yhwach fucking the monk up.
We haven't seen a good bankai since Yama's and the only thing to look forward to are Yhwach's and Ichigo's abilities and fight.
I guarantee Kubo will fuck up Toofsy and Uryu somehow.
Why the background tend to disappear when people release their bankais?
>>139765729
There's a number of differences, size being one of them, the loss of the top half of the blade being another. My theory is that he's partially assimilated with it.
>>139765542
Are you seriously being pretentious over reading Bleach?
Your primary school English teachers would be disappointed.
>>139765800
If only you could read as well as you can write. >>139765826
>>139765853
How am I being pretentious again? Because I'm not ignoring multiple chapters of character development because it's a character I don't like?
>>139765826
Character focus. The background would be taking the focus away from the subject.
>>139765674
Purely going off the number of (You)s in this thread, you're rather incorrect. But here's a (You) for you too, since you're clearly attention whoring your blog opinions, fagtron.

>>139766072
Try adding more buzzwords next time
>>139766109
Maybe Yachiru's shikai was trying to hint that Zaraki's power is fractured?
>>139765918
Feel free to cite for discussion any of those "multiple chapters of character development", anon. I'd love to see a single iota of decent character development on what is objectively a walking, all-caps talking testosterone-fueled powerlevel fantasy shonen trope.

I wouldn't have to if you, you know, actually read the manga?
>Zaraki is Yachiru's Shikai
>>139766323

>when it's completed, it becomes weightless and can cut literally anything

I never laughed so hard in my life at a manga panel. All this hype and buildup and Kubo's imagination is as shitty as Kenny's probably would for what his 'ultimate power' would be. The only way it could've been simpler is if it was his fists or a plain knife.
>>139766754
>Unicorns exist
>No, I'm not going to prove it to you, I wouldn't have to if you just opened your eyes to the truth
Okay, anon. I accept your roundabout concession that Zaraki is a one-dimensional flaming dumpster fire of a character. We both know that there is no "character development" when it comes to him. You can't provide examples of something that does not exist.
>>139767025
Did you miss the part where he ripped the giant's arm off with his TEETH?
>>139767025
You don't understand Kenpachi or his Bankai.
The only thing holding back Zaraki before using Bankai was himself.
Thus, his Bankai is his sword unhinging the limits he's always placed on himself.

That's the thing. Physical. Most shinigami that are at level where thay can achieve Bankai, are at least competent at Kidō, and most of their Bankai is that magical stuff. Either summoning something (Kurotsuchi, Tōsen, Byakuya), amplifying their elemental power (Rukia, Yamamoto, Hitsugaya), or just doing weird shit in general (Kyōraku). Sometimes sword itself disappears, sometimes it stays behind unchanged, and just as often it transforms to be used as main means of fighting.
That being said, since most of "big stuff" around Bankai is caused by Kidō, and since both Zaraki and Ichigo absolutely suck at Kidō, in their cases Bankai has no fluff power, only sword to hit things with.
>>139768485
there would be blood on his teeth then
It seems obvious to me that the size of the sword is irrelevant- he can cut things with the blade that isn't there.
It's a pretty straightforward extrapolation of what Yachiru did in her fight.
>>139768533
So you're just going to ignore the fact he's biting a giant reiatsu giant impervious to most all attacks when he assumed that form, excluding when an actual weapon was used against him? It's probably not so easy to actually bite through him.
Considering the amount of strength Kenpachi displayed, you'd think another physical unarmed attack (the punch) would do something other than send the giant flying jaw intact, right?
Anyways you're just ignoring the form going into his mouth either way. And the panel after, and his sword not moving.
>>139750361

Remember when Ichigo's dad taught us that technically a shinigami could have a giant sword if they wanted? Seems like it would of been perfect here.

If their swords matched the size of their reiatsu, they wouldn't be as strong.

>>139768750
I'd be surprised if it weren't something somewhat similar. Remember that Yachiru is literally the sword (spirit) he's holding in his hand and the ability she used in battle was cutting before/after her own sword swings via two phantom creatures.
Being his zan spirit, that ability is his ability.

So Byakuya is still getting another powerup so he can be blue oni, right? Name one instance where there's a red oni but not the other.
>>139769274

what if his power is to crush hope or be stronger than his opponent
>>139750361
>effortlessly beats the miracle
How? Cutting him should just make the Miracle's effect activate rather than kill him.
Okay, took me a couple look at the bite and it actually bit his fist's skin.
And pull it out with sheer force alone, that is fucked up.
>>139769031
Salty as fuck, anon. Your post quality is lacking.
>>139769495
Well, the Miracle gains strength from the masses right?
Not him but, what if since it's one person beating the Valkyrie (which none of the masses expected) his ability doesn't activate?
Okay even if that does happen he'll Vollstandig but still
>>139769495
>>139769482

>>139769614
How about this, Zaraki's strength is a much stronger than the masses combined?
Only way to defeat miracle by overpowering it.
>>139769139
That's similar to what I'm thinking, but I feel like the answer is going to be more intricate than that. Zaraki's bond with Yachiru, now his sword, has enormous potential because of the strength of their relationship.
>>139769274
He already had a powerup in the Royal Realm. As he told As Nodt, his Shikai can now control a greater amount of petals. I don't think we've seen him use Bankai since before then.
>>139769509
Exactly. Kenpachi never had that amount of physical power before now.
>>139752739
I think cloning Thor is going to cause a new weakness, since only one of them can wield the sword.
>it's mine you fool, the masses have chosen me!
>they get into a fight and kill each other
>>139769509
Only in Bleach.
>>139769943
As much as I love the out of place comedic moments now and again, probably won't happen since Zaraki's Bankai needs to be shown off some more.

>>139768065
Where's Toofsy's QT hollowfu?
>>139770434
Like Pernida, Kenpachi would likely have not been able to counter Askin's poison. And Lille was invulnerable to all physical attacks.
Kendo is Kenpachi's strongest attack, but his Bankai seems to best utilize his preferred fighting stance.
>>139770434
Kenpachi would have lost to both. Hood sniper would have beat him without going final form too.

>When Shunsui asked about a painting of a dark silhouette within a field of fire, Yamamoto explained how the painting was of a monster which appeared in Soul Society a long time ago. He stated it had appeared at a time when Soul Society was facing a difficult situation, and the monster's appearance had made the situation worse. Yamamoto stated it was unlikely to return, but if it did, its return would mark Yamamoto's last day in Soul Society.
What does it mean, guys?
>>139764793
>>139764762
>>139764638
so did this fight really fucking happen? I thought it was all some ruse because the one guardian who was "shot in the head" wasn't really shot. Then she just disappears.
>>139764189
I thought you were making fair points about Zaraki until I saw Unohana and clit rubbing in your post. You're simply another cancerous waifu faggot.
Kenpachi saves the manga again. I gave this pos manga up for dead and he's the only reason I'm starting again.
This is the shit I've been waiting for ever since SS arc.
>>139750361
Don't really care, Zaraki is easily the most boring character in BLEACH.
I had fun with him when I was 14 but now he just annoys me.
>>139756667
He destroyed 3 Sternritter with just his Shikai which is way more impressive than what Rukia and Renji did.
>>139771036
The "monster" was Yama's Bankai, what it meant was probably that the last time it appeared was when Yama fought Yhwach, hence the "difficult situation", and his Bankai made it worse. Probably because it kills everyone in a 10 mile radius and summons the dead.
Can kenpachi kill servants?
>>139771675
That conversation happened before the First Blood War. The picture showed Yamamoto with Zanka no Tachi West. But Royd, when he had Yhwach's memories thought there was only Zanka no Tachi East. So the picture is from another time. My personal theory: Ever wondered why Hueco Mundo is a desert? Or how the first Oken was created?
>>139769509
I feel like I get demoted a level for missing this
I thought it was an air slash
>>139771675

I don't think seeing the future when fighting Yama would help you when all you see is this.
>his bankai is basically just luffys' gear 2nd

>>139772293
Yhwach didn't have the Almighty then. Creating 26 Sternritter and distributing all these soul pieces weakened him considerably to the point that he lost the Almighty. OMZ does look younger than Yhwach, when he met Haschwalth. Yamamoto probably used this opportunity to invade the world of the living and defeat Yhwach,
>>139772537
Welcome to battle shounen.
>>139772576
>Yhwach didn't have the Almighty then. Creating 26 Sternritter and distributing all these soul pieces weakened him considerably to the point that he lost the Almighty.
That's weird, i'm looking everywhere but i can't see where you go that from?
>>139772673
This is just a theory. Forgot to mention that. But I think it's a very likely theory.
>>139772722
> just a theory.
i dunno
these threads have predicted a lot of shit even, unlikely shit like stark being able to shoot out wolves
>>139772537
the horns are important friend
>>139772802
Well we know that Yhwach gets stronger when takes the soul pieces back. So it stands to reason, that he would get weaker, if he sends the soul pieces out. We also know that he created 26 Sternritter for this exact purpose. Ichibee didn't knew about the Almighty, despite having the information from Yamamoto's fight with him during the First Blood War. And we know, that Yhwach gets older the more powerful and eviler he becomes. OMZ, how he looked 1000 years ago is younger than how Yhwach looked in Bazz-B's flashback.
>>139772722
I think he had the Allmighty, i mean, you'd have to be stupid to willingly give away that power. We know from Toofsy that he had to keep his eyes closed until the 9 days of power ended because otherwise bad things would happen. So to me it's pretty hard to believe that he would give that power up, especially if he was going to war with Soul Society.
I think it's likely that he was weaker back then, but i'd assume he could still see into the future.
>>139773095
I think Yhwach planned to invade Soul Society once he got the Almighty back. It was most likely just a temporal loss. But Yamamoto invaded before that could happen and thus Yhwach lost. Would also be a nice callback to the first invasion. Yamamoto originally planned to strike first, but Yhwach made that plan naught.
>>139750361
>you will never have a loli meat cleaver that turns you into a bloodthirsty OP demon beserker

did zaraki get one of those hollow balls from the science guy?
>>139773207
Well that does sound in line with what Yhwach said about old man Yama being willing to do anything to win. Maybe he invaded the real world and nuked a couple of cities.

This one wasn't convenient. The last few fights were rock-paper-scissors, this one was just a beatdown.
Whatever definition of convenient you're using, it wouldn't apply to all of them.
>>139774231
man, this would be so fucking great

It seems to be like ichigos full blown vizard form where ichigo is border line hollowfied and is impossible to reason with and craves pure destruction
>>139775561
It's Zaraki without inhibition.
This chapter reminds me Reborn. It's exactly the same kind of development that every Reborn fight have after the first half of the series.
Man, this was awful. I hope Kenpachi become a threat to Soul Society now.
>>139776021
>Reborn
I forgot bulk and skull where in the royal realm; not like theyve done anything besides follow Kenpatchi around anyway.
Also anyone else think we're getting a show revival soon? Bleach just had a Puzzle and Dragons collaboration event launch and got its own freemium mobile game not too long ago. All seemingly out of the blue. It feels like they're testing the waters for some actual good bleach media like a show revival or maybe a decent full fledged game.
>>139772537
And Luffy's G2nd is Goku's Kaio Ken. Might Guy and Kiba from Naruto also go red and emit steam when they power up. Its a common trope anon.
>>139774246

Shit, Center Forty-Something ain't gonna like this. With Yamamoto dead, there's literally no one in the Gotei who'd be able to pacify Kenpachi.

>>139774913
if its kubo, its posible
>>139770233
This is the kind of thing you have to expect from Bleach threads. They deserve their watermarked trash.
So if Yachiru was just his sword all along, what was the thing she was doing to fight that one Quincy guy?
>>139776413
'training' for their big jobbing moment against Yhwach
>>139776280
Gerard will most likely defeat Kenpachi. Question is more, who will defeat Gerard. The same happened with Shunsui and Yoruichi. And Gerard has the excuse of being the heart of the Soulking, the Miracle and the Hogyoku.
>>139776564
her 'shikai' was just an extension of what she can do with Kenpachi's reiatsu.
Also anons have pointed out that her two companions resemble parts of Kenpachi's Shikai: Bone guy is the sword while Fluffy guy is the tassel at the end of the sword.
guys, this red demons guy is the bankai. It's Yachiru's Stand
>mfw people on here hate on bleach enough to comment about it
if you didn't like it so much why waste your time letting others know your dislike?
Anyways, I'm stoked that he's a demon or at the very least has horns
I'm excited for what's next
>>139776699
hating on Bleach is just part of the fun.
Same goes for Nisekoi, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Tokyo Ghoul, etc.
>>139751420
So Ichigo will gain Orihime's power and save Zaraki?
>>139776413
Will probably become relevant in the second half of this arc. Ganju may teach Ichigo how to use his special Quincy powers. There is also his connection to Kukaku, Urahara and Isshin.
>>139774231
Aizen's entire plan in the SS and HM arcs WASN'T done in order to invade the Royal Realm outright, it was an elaborate ruse to a) put Ichigo under Kyouka Suigetsu and b) power up Ichigo and lose to him so the Hougyoku could evolve him past Ichigo's level. Getting caught was part of his plan. He just has to lay low for a while in jail, wait for Ichigo to beat Bach who he can't beat directly because he can see through Kyouka Suigetsu, and then dispose of Ichigo who doesn't know he's under his illusion. Then keikaku doori, Soul King position up for the taking.
>>139776993
Ginjou, not Ganju
>>139750361
>bankai is just another "berserk" mode
Top lel, what a fucking disappointment.
>>139777120
>another shitpost
Top lel indeed
>>139772576
It doesn't work that way. He creates powers for them. They cultivate it for him and when they die, it goes back to him, making him even stronger. He doesn't get any weaker at all.
>>139774231
When Aizen said "look" at Ichigo he never used the Shikai or said "Kyoka Suigetsu"
>>139777238
He does get weaker if he can't get new souls. So the same may happen, if he gives part of his soul away. Removing part of your soul does weaken you. Look at what happened to Rangiku.
>>139776594
>Kenpachi's fucking bankai not enough to beat somebody.
don't do this
>>139777275
There is precedence for shinigami with Bankai to release their Shikai without the release command.
>>139777467
Yeah but every shikai transforms the katana.
>>139777431
Like Shunsui's, Mayuri's or Urahara's Bankai? The Bankai of a captain will almost never defeats the opponent, if he releases it for the first time.
>>139777562
Komamura's, Yamamoto's and Hitsugaya's katanas don't change when they go Shikai.
>>139777363
That makes even less sense. He was comatose for 999 years. It would've been impossible for him to revive if he required new souls all the time, while having no powers, couldn't think, and couldn't move.
Did you even read the early chapters of this arc?
>>139769509
>>139769509
Yeah i just noticed too.
Fucking manags drawers need to make things clear sometimes.
You can see the skin being pulled in the face panel where zarakis mouth is open
>>139777882
They're called Mangaka.
>>139777787
I have. Did you?
>>139777467
which is why I and several others believe Yumichika may have bankai despite his sour relationship with his zanpakuto.
I'm glad Kenpachi didn't talk this chapter.
>>139777606
>Mayuri's
of gotei Shinigami, Mayuri has used his bankai more than any other shinigami except Renji.
And it has NEVER beaten it's opponent.
>>139774231
what does it matter if he said "look"
Ichigo is clearly looking away from him.
>>139777606
Urahara's technically won it for him.
Also all of those bankai are gimmicks and one-trick ponies. Kenpachi's is pure consistent force.
Not trying to ride zaraki's dick but he's usually one of the captains that doesn't lose.
Is Kenpachi the only shinigami who's bankai physically altered their body?
The only other one I can think of may be Rukia, if you count "freezing" as a physical alteration of the body.
>>139778988
Komamura and Ginjou's changed their bodies, sort of, maybe.
Komamura's could've just been wolf magic, and Ginjou's changes could be attributed to his inner hollow.
>>139779640
I wonder if Kubo is still doing this.
>inb4 the Quincy arc is longer than this
>>139779640
>>139779674
Wow. That's the most amount of effort I've ever seen out of Kubo.
>>139779078
Komamura's doesn't change his body at all, that was 100% wolf magic. It was a permanent change.
>Ginjou
that's true, but I assumed that was his hollow side.
>>139779674
>>139779640
Why does Kubo have so many characters holy fucking shit
>>139750361
i like these kind of bankai. I still dont really understand unohana's, kyoraku's and urahara's.
Calling it now, one of three things will happen.
1. Gerard's permanently dead cause the masses seeing an enraged demon bankai Kenpachi removed all fear and thoughts that Gerard could/would survive, and since Gerard's miracles depend on the fears and thoughts of the masses, he can't bring himself back
2. 1 happens, but then someone, most likely Toshiro wonders if it's really over and that doubt lets Gerard perform a miracle and come back
3. No matter who doubts it or not, Gerard simply pulls off a miracle and instead of being a giant still, takes on a smaller size with all his strength and powers concentrated into it, and becomes like a more vengeful more biblical kinda thing where he can perform harmful "miracles" as he sees fit. Prepare for smiting, plagues, darkness, the earth swallowing people up, storms, blindness and holy fire
>>139755477
I don't know. The last little bit with Ice/Brother and Hat/Cat going back and forth in a comedic way seems like he went back and read a few of his old volumes and saw the comedy parts he's neglected for like 8 years.

So if Yachiru is his sword than when he tied with ichigo in their first fight and he tried talking to his sword he wasn't really talking to anyone all this time he was already best friends with his sword?
I think Gerard might be the shittiest quincy.

trips confirmed, loli was the sword
>>139750361
Gone is a 1 syllable word no one would've stopped at "bego"
What's going to be the ultimate twist at the climax?
>>139783281
Rukia is a man
>>139783281
There was no Aizen
>>139751629
Kubo remembered he already drew eyes with markings for Thor's power boost and pretended it never happened.
>>139766822
Honestly this.
How come all you faggots call this a Bankai? He didn't say it, Yachiru just hinted that this could be the power he needs, his bankai. He most likely just fucked up and half-assed it so he ended up with an incomplete form.
That explains why he has no intellect and it's just raw power/instinct since he's not in control because he fucked up.
>>139773912
Any time now
>>139783560yachiru said it
>>139783281
Kojima was the spirit king all along.
>>139782977

This is pretty fitting desu
>>139783560
What if his Bankai is that he keeps getting stronger and stronger and his body changes to reflect that?
>>139783281
That Urahara made more than 1 of those "special" gigais and is gonna use it to turn Ywach human.
>>139772987
HORY SHIIIET
I didn't even notice, fuck me. Looking at the chapter again, on page 15 you can clearly see the horns in the bottom panel.
Fuck, Zaraki must be confirmed from Hell. What if he's the Hell King's son or some shit or Yachiru's the hell queen or daughter. How does a loli turn you into a red demon anyway?
If we see Yachiru's Bankai form, is she going to be a gal?
>>139783281
The entire quincy arc was Deicide 24.
>>139767415
It looked freaky and would look even freakier if animated.
>>139783281
Bleach is Part 1 of 3.
>>139774393
>akuma
He's voiced by both and has an Oni form.
>>139783922
You jest, but I won't be surprised if Aizen's bankai reboots the universe and makes Bleach go full JoJo.
>next protagonist is a fusion of Gin and Isshin
>>139750361
It's certainly a power boost but I think it's incorporating Yachiru's shikai as well.
He cut through both Gerard's shield and face despite being nowhere near his face. If he had two "phantom slashes" each time he swung his sword, it would at all of deadliness to each attack, as well as account for the much larger range he seems to have.
>>139783854
Yachiru is Nozarashi, that's pretty much been confirmed.
>>139783922
Was kubo always that fat?
Also why the fuck are japs so obsessed with wearing flu masks?
>>139781810
underrated post
>>139758851
I would have been surprised if someone said this a year ago when Kenpachi fought Gremmy, but at this point it's just preposterous.
Do you even read the chapters?
>>139782892
>Gerard, "Yes there was a sudden uptick in your reiatsu"
>implying it went up a little but now he can't sense it anymore
that's it guys, Zaraki just went full ascension, he's on a completely different plane of existence. kinda reminds me of what Aizen said in his battle with Ichigo, how he thought Ichigo gave up all his powers in exchange for raw strength and speed
>>139782892
>>139784335
>Zaraki's Bankai is fusing with his Zanpaktou
>>139783656
So uh.. are we just going to ignore how these skeletons on the GATES OF HELL have some kind of bell rings and horns? Kenpachi could be a great way to introduce the Hell aspect in the manga
>>139762421
Hollow similarities would make sense considering Yachiru, his sword spirit, had invisible hollows as part of her shikai.
>>139784423
Anon, they weren't Hollows. Neither of them had Hollow holes and the smaller one didn't even have a mask.
>>139784525
your mom doesn't have a mask, much to my chagrin

I'm not even surprised at this point honestly
>>139770131
In 40 chapters? Bleach moves too slow to finish in that short time frame. If Kubo wanted to rush it, he could probably come very close to 700 but I'm still positive that he'd reach over 700.
>>139784135
Because the common cold is literally deadly to japs.
>>139771383
It wasn't with his shikai, he killed the 3 of them on his way to Ywach with his unreleased sword.
>>139785194
He was talking about Byakuya.
>>139750361
>>zaraki uses bankai
>>effortlessly beats the miracle
>>stronger than Byakuya & Hitsugaya combined
Byakuya & Hitsugaya = Not special war potentials
Zaraki = Special war potential
Final boss is bullshit so he knows all the shit apparently, including which guys are the most dangerous even potentially.
If Yhwach can see the future, then how come he can't see Ichigo beating his ass in the finale?
>>139784947
I liked Yamamoto's and Rukia's. Admittedly Yamamoto's seems pretty simple until you get to the undead which just doesn't make much sense, but it was neat. Rukia's is cool because it's basically the ice counterpart to Yamamoto and once she masters it she'll dethrone Hitsugaya as strongest ice type. I also liked Unohana's trippy ass acid Bankai because it was weird.
>>139776737
Literally the worst type of poster.
>>139776594
>who will defeat Gerard
Shinji of course
>>139785311
>implying he can't
>>139780795
>1
So it's basically the same as Gremmy?
The insurmountable enemy is defeated precisely because Kenpachi is more insurmountable and terrifying.
>>139784135
It's a dishonor to give germs to other people. They don't use handkerchiefs in public for the same reason.
And they go to work even when sick.
>>139785345
She won't. That's not how her Zanpakuto works.
The reason Hyorinmaru is considered the strongest ice-elemental Zanpakuto is because it's basically the ice equivalent of Ryujin Jakka. Hyorinmaru is the only ice-element Zanpakuto that can alter the very weather itself. In terms of sheer attack radius and output, it greatly outperforms Sode-no-Shirayuki. It also allows for far greater control, and isn't a double-edged sword like Rukia's. Due to how Sode-no-Shirayuki works, it's literally impossible for it to exceed Hyorinmaru in terms of output.
Sode-no-Shirayuki alters the temperature of the user and then extends that to her surroundings. Its power comes purely from itself and its range is naturally small due to this. Hyorinmaru affects the surroundings directly and, according to Hitsugaya, can "utilize all of the water in the atmosphere". They're two very different things.
>>139784416
doesn't Kubo aborted hell because some shitty movie?
>>139783281
It's definitely going to be Aizen. I mean sure, we all know he's gonna pull another keikaku out of his ass, but I think it's going to be much bigger than we expect.
>>139785688
Nah, it was because the movie writers threw out his original script, and made their own original script instead for the movie.
>>139784050
That would be fucking glorious.
>Aizen takes the role of DIO except he remains the primary antagonist for each part, and always wins, rebooting reality for the next part
>>139776594
>Question is who will defeat Gerard.
Several people of course, but because of his size, and eventually his corpse, I can see Soifon using her shikai to make it disappear, or Hachi teleporting it somewhere else.
>>139785765
what was the original script?
>>139766754
>If this were an adult discussion, you'd have the reading comprehension to appreciate Zaraki's development, even if you don't particularly like his archetype. But alas.
If Kubo could read English he would masturbate so hard to this.
>>139785986
Gone
That's why he disowned that shit, since they fucked him over.
Why is it that Ywach can't predict the five war potentials? Why are they so special?
>>139785475
Yes.
He spelled out the means to his own destruction
>>139781254
I know, it's ridiculous
>>139780894
The Japanese covers look ugly as fuck compared to the Viz ones. Whats with that huge ass ugly text all over them
>>139786082
>implying he can't and hasn't
>>139786439
I thought the war potentials were that because they were unpredictable.
>>139786398
Kubo thinks it's stylish anybody changes it it's worse and disowned shut up
So /a/, ignoring the nature of users power levels and based on the abilities of a Sealed/Shikai/Bankai alone, what would you rate the top 10 zanpakuto?
>>139750361
but he didn't say BAN-KAI...
>>139786398
>>139786509
>>139786555
So what you're saying is..
That all he's doing right now is using his zanpaktou correctly and he's become one with it as it shares it's power it invigorates him and changes his skin color but he hasn't even bankai'd yet right?
>>139783079
>>139786483
If they were, that was before Yhwach unlocked his Almighty.
Which means he sees everything now, even the war potentials
>>139786635
Jugram Haschwalth, while holding the power of the Almighty, wasn't able to predict one of uryuu's actions at one point though.. I think something like that happened.
>>139786082
They're probably the only five he's seen capable of truly defeating him, which is why he looks genuinely pressed in his fight with ichibe
She gets a bankai. And he gets a bankai. Everyone gets a bankai. Look under your seats, your bankai is right there waiting for you.
>Mera will never be important or even properly in frame
>>139786530
In no order
Kyoka Suigetsu (just wish we'd see its bankai)
Ryūjin Jakka
Sode no Shirayuki
Shinsō
Suzumushi (if the space it creates in bankai is inescapable, like it creates its own infinite space on the inside so you can't just run out of its area)
Ichimonji
Katen Kyōkotsu
Hyōrinmaru
Suzumebachi
Senbonzakura
>>139785564
Sode no Shirayuki can go to absolute zero though, which is pretty much the pinnacle of power for ice/cold based abilities. Imagine what she can do with it once she has actually trained with it.
>>139750361
>his Bankai literally just makes him turn red
How does Kubo do it? How does the story manage to get more retarded with every passing chapter?
>>139786574
>mangakas are supposed to be poor as fuck, even popular ones
>kubo lives in a huge fancy apartment
Is he secretly yakuza or something.
>>139786702
The powers have yet to be grasped by Haschwalth, not by Yhwach.
>Kenpachi's Shikai was discovered and almost immediately invalidated in the span of a few chapters
Well, alright then.
>>139786972
oh that makes sense I guess..
>>139786886
Sode no Shirayuki is basically an extremely cold block of ice. It can freeze anything it comes in direct contact with, but it could also potentially shatter itself. It can also only be active for a very short period of time.
Hyorinmaru's a weather control system with a high energy consumption rate, but it poses little risk to the user, is more versatile, has a far wider effect radius and has a longer active time than Shirayuki.
Sode no Shirayuki basically excels at one thing at a tremendous cost. Hyorinmaru is great at everything ice-related for far less cost. The biggest flaw with Shirayuki is that it absolutely needs to win in one strike. If it fails, it's hilariously wide open to a counterattack or even outright self destruction.
Basically, Hyorinmaru is Blizzard while Sode no Shirayuki is Sheer Cold.
>>139787059
I doubt that Sode no Shirayuki is going to have huge downsides once she actually trains with it. She's had her bankai for an astronomically short amount of time.
>Kenpachi's shikai makes his sword change shape and hit things harder
>Kenpachi's bankai makes his sword change shape and hit things harder AND HE TURNS RED
WOOOOAAH
>>139786530
>ignoring the nature of users power levels
1. Suzumebachi.
Pros: We are ignoring the reiatsu of the enemy.
Cons: One would need to be as fast as Soifon to make it best zanpakutou.
>>139787121
There may be more to it yet. Wait for next chapter.
>>139787121
His Bankai makes it where he can no longer hold back and can finally go all out.
As he becomes a true Berserker
This is important since he constantly holds himself back in countless ways that he can't turn off even while trying. In order to go all out he has to become a mad beast with a hatchet.
Major power boost also
>>139786970
I am pretty sure that when you are top 3 the whole poor thing goes out the window. Remember that Bleach still sells pretty well.
>>139782214
What? Did you miss the whole chapter where the only highlight was the visored almost doing something for once? Shinji was the first one dropped, and then later picked up by Hinamori. The others have more chance coming back before SHinji does.
>>139786970
Isn't Togashi so rich that he doesn't even need to work anymore?
So is this how the rest of the manga is gonna be? A bunch of pointless back and forth fights with no tension?
>My power does thing!
>Well my power does THING!
>OH YEAH WELL MY NEW POWER DOES THIS SUPER COOL THING THAT TOTALLY BEATS YOUR THING PAL!
So like, aren't all of these powers going back to Yhwach when the people using them get killed?
So he's gonna have the power of both imagination AND miracles? The fuck? How is this not going to end with anything but the sloppiest of asspulls?
>>139786530
If we're not taking power levels into account.
Aizen
Urahara
Mayuri
Monk
Soi Fon
Tousen
Gin

>>139787272
>>139787314
>>139787356
You know, it's funny. I was typing "apparently i did, i don't know how that happened" but before actually clicking submit i went to read the chapter, turns out i didn't miss it, i remembered the entire chapter. Except for the Vizard bits, i guess that's funny.
>>139786886
Not that anon but I can see why rukia's would be considered a separate category to Toshiro's
Toshiro's powers let him actively create, control and manipulate ice and water in its forms.
Rukia's just creates ice as as a side effect. It can create ice, but not directly control or manipulate it.
It's semantics and bullshit, but I could see Kubo saying this
>>139787427
To be fair, it was a pretty bullshit chapter: Yuushirou got shot. The Visord got slapped. Hitsugaya showed up. That was all that happened.
>>139786886
Shirayuki is an ice zanpakuto
Hyourinmaru is the strongest ice zanpakuto
It has precedent
>>139787447
I mean it doesn't just create ice as a side effect. Her "normal" Shikai has her dances, where she creates snow and ice.
how many chapters are left? I guess 331
>>139787447
Also, Halibel.
>>139787504
It also has a hefty timer and not a particularly long list of achievements
>>139787504
It was called the strongest Ice zanpakuto, but that was before Rukia even had her true shikai and bankai.
>>139787504
Hyourinmaru was only declared strongest ice zanpakutou prior to Rukia achieving bankai. There's been no update to clarify where she stands in relation.
>>139787103
Bankais don't normally change much unless you're Ichigo.
Even if she trains with it, it's not gonna change the fact that she's practically frozen during its use and needs to thaw very slowly and deliberately before she can move again. Kyoraku's had his Bankai for far longer, but it's not as if he's managed to erase its downsides.
The fact of the matter is Shirayuki works by freezing its user and extending that towards whatever's in its attack radius. Hyorinmaru's greatest upside is that it doesn't freeze Hitsugaya when he uses it. In fact, it's one of the safest Bankai we've seen in the entire series, in that it explicitly cannot harm its user no matter what. Most other Bankai have very clear weaknesses or drawbacks:
>Senbonzakura Kageyoshi can potentially harm its user, hence the need for a No-Damage Zone.
>Tensa Zangetsu puts great strain on the user's body (which Ichigo seems to have since gotten over).
>Zanka no Tachi has a strict time limit, lest the flames burn not just the user, but the entire world as well.
>Ryumon Hoozukimaru is extremely brittle and broke in its very first appearance.
>Kokujou Tengen Myouou passes any damage inflicted on it to its user, which is a problem considering how huge a target it is.
>Kinshara Butodan is useless on anything that can't hear.
>Katen Kyokotsu is the most extreme example of a double-edged sword in the series.
>Jakuhou Raikouben drains an insane amount of energy is only good for up to two shots if the user has the stamina for it.
Compared to that, Daiguren's time limit seems rather minor.
>>139782214
The only person 100% confirmed down by X was Hisagi, since we saw him fall. Otherwise there's strong suggestion Omaeda and Isane got dropped by X, but that left the Visord Yuushirou and the two 13th d 3rd seats in vague limbo for a while. Visord and Yuushirou obviously got confirmed not-dead when they showed up elsewhere, but I think at this point we can count the two 3rd seats out as well. Sui-Feng is still MIA this whole fight with M though.
>>139754986
Aizens Bankai just makes pocket universes for himself. Each universe is a new iteration of his plan to overthrow the Soul King. Bleach will end with him having to create a new universe and it ends with him killing Ichigo and rukia right after the initial power transfer
Also, like any ability in this series, Rukia's "sub-zero" Bankai is probably worthless on anyone who's stronger than her. If she tried to do the same thing to Ichigo, he'd probably just break out of the ice and be perfectly fine due to his sheer spiritual power, much like how Aizen shrugged off Suzumebachi just because he had way more spiritual energy than Soifon.
>>139787520
The actual effect is just making a space cold, cold enough to make ice sure, but that's just a side effect of making a space cold.
Her bankai perfectly shows the real ability of the blade where she kills not with ice, but with the cold that just automatically generates the ice
Reminder Momo is still alive.
>>139766109
>"I can't believe you just summoned a 0 ATK monster! This duel is mine!"
>>139787574
Rukia's Bankai has a stronger attack but in general Hitsugaia's bankai is more flexible, because Rukia only has one shot with her bankai and if she misses she's completely vulnerable
Also it's said Hitsugaia's bankai is still juvenile so it might as well grow into a Ice Zanka no Tanchi in the future
What if Kenpachi's Bankai simply converts all his massive spiritual energy into pure physical strength?
>>139783922It's part 2 of 3, part 1 will be the first quincy war
>>139788324
another anon said that he thinks that it keeps his opponents alive no matter what and that it will be a miracle for this fucker to die
also with him being cut in two, I'm pretty sure he's still alive next chapter. These Quincies are the hardest fuckers to kill in this series, as far as henchmen go.
Also Kenny's Bankai has to be my favourite design from Kubo so far. The whole Oni thing is pretty great.
Come to think of it and I know this is late as fuck but when the Quincy's were seatling Bankai's I expected it to backfire somewhat in the sense that the shinigami would know the ins and outs of their own bankai better than anyone else so they'd exploit their own bankai's weakness easily when it's being held by a quincy.
Then the quincys would learn all their bankai weaknesses through this manner or some shit.
But instead we get some teleporting pill that cures bankai stolen sickness.
>>139764189
You actually had some good points but then you went full retard as soon as you mentioned Unohanawho let me remind you would be the first on Zaraki's cock
>>139766898
Unohana's tits weren't even that prominent t b h
I liked Zaraki better when he didn't have a shikai or bankai.
>>139768408
So is he screaming or biting here? Not sure if flesh or generic background. I guess reading the moonrune SFX could help.
>>139788964
Biting
Remember when mayuri was wearing that exploding armor. Then he got crushed by pernida and blew up. And came out unscathed. What the fuck was that?
>>139786886
SnS is a heat-based Zanpakuto (that reduces temperature instead of freely changing it), Hyourinmaru is a Zan that manipulates water. They're not the same thing.
>>139787884
I dunno about that, since Absolute Zero generates all sorts of physical fuckery and violates causality.
>>139783641
>The SK is a teenager who spends his time sleeping around with bored older women
I can dig it.
>>139788624

SCIENCE
is it even a cheap knockoff when kubo's recycling his own shit?
>>139789020
what the fuck is he biting? pillow? ass?
>>139789546
those are some enormously shitty character designs
>>139787303
He's married to the author of Sailor Moon.
So yes.
>>139788624
You'd expect that to happen, especially with Nodt since Byakuya himself said that Senbonzakura Kageyoshi can and will maim the user if a no-damage zone didn't exist.
>>139789548
Gerard's fist you idiot.
>>139789489
>editor-sama vetoed the fuck out of it because it would have taken years to resolve
Makes the most sense..

>>139789642
iow, ass
>>139789753
I...what?
>>139789596
it's just angry orihime, bored zaraki, and generic ichigo/uryuu clone #200X with varying degrees of sunburn, or in zaraki's case just with bankai.

Kubo went the wrong direction with his character. Zaraki was awesome in SS arc when he was just an abnormally powerful dude who was surpassed by Ichigo due to his own hubris, all he had to do was continue down the path with his new motivation and he'd have a solid development path. Instead Kubo felt the need to gratify the fans that wanted him to be an invincible god (even though his place in the plot would never actually allow him to be that strong) that won any fight the instant he actually started trying (even though he was supposed to have learned his lesson about that shit after fighting Ichigo) and pretty much ruined his character in the process.
Imagine if Zaraki began to earnestly reevaluate his strength after losing to Ichigo. Imagine if he saw how powerful people like Aizen, the Espada, and Ichigo had become and realized he was just a big fish in a little pond all along. Imagine if Zaraki actually had good fights with equal or stronger opponents.
When I think about how much potential Kubo wasted with his character I actually get angry.
>>139791048
I feel as if Unohana works the same way as Lise from SM. They have to die because the reason they died is also the reason why they're so cool as characters.
>>139787884
Suzumebachi has loop holes.
Anything energy based against Absolute Zero is fucked. It should stop particles from moving therefore rendering the attack useless.
