oh noes looks like only A MIRACLE CAN SAVE HIM NOW

I want Toushirou inside me

There better be a damn good reason why Toshiro hasn't pulled out this "Rukia's bankai but better" mode before now.

If there's no asspull miracle to save him I'm going to KUBOO nect chapter.

Doesn't excuse that you were too retarded to check if it was out before sperging out.

So what's the downside of his bankai where everytime the petals were almost gone he tried to finish the battle quickly?
Otherwise its terrible writing that he never used it's full power before
>>
>>140457423
it's still spoiling, have fun with you're ban
>>
>>140457341
he needs to wait for the petals to go down before he can.

just imagine like ikkaku where he had to fight for a while before it was on full power.

Why didn't he just freeze him before?

>>140457432
It's possible that his body pretime skip couldn't handle it and he's never had a chance to show it off until now. Or hollowing his bankai caused it to mutate.

As she is at absolute zero feat cannot transfer itself because there's no energy and no vibration and no way to transfer itself.

So Hitsugaya used the same principle with hope with the sword, it being enclosed at absolute zero, hope cannot transfer itself or function because at absolute zero there is no energy.

It's bullshit, but it's kubo's own logic, and he keeps riding on it.
>>
>>140457432
Was'nt it implied that for the longest time he simply didn't know better? Either that or there is consequences of some sort.

Honestly the only way I can think of getting rid of him is to have someone outclassed to high heaven try to 1v1 him, because it would take a miracle for Gerard to lose.

>>
>>140457341
Hyorinmaru has always been hyped as the Ryujin Jakka of Ice zanpakutos.
Rukia's bankai has always been "Toushirous but worse".
>>
>>140457866
what is your point?
>>
>>140457687
The problem is he doesn't need a Miracle to beat someone he could clearly outmatch with strength alone.
The Miracle is his ability, not theirs.

>>140457619

So why should Byakuyas attack kill Thor?
I would understand "freezing of functions" working against him, but that didnt work.

Why the fuck should he stay dead just because he got skewered when his power is to become even more powerful from being skewered?
>>
>>140457878
Before Rukia's bankai reveal, people have said that about Hitsu's bankai, but after people have been saying that Rukia's is more like Yama's.

>>
>>140457953

When he was cut in a half by Zaraki we could see inside his head there's a big as fuck Quincy emblem. Maybe that's his weakness.
>>
>>140457982
as I said, I hate that kubo uses this retarded logic, but I love hat he is consistent within it.
>>
>>140457953
Byakuya is going to shatter him into a million pieces and Toushirou is going to freeze every single piece before The Miracle can kick in.
>>
>>140457491
Ichigo
Gin
Mayuri
>>
>>140457976
no no no, you misunderstand
everyone here already is a cancerous faggot as you pointed out

i couldn't care less about what the fuck is happening anymore to bleach
>>
>>140458024
How is Ichigo the perfect counter to anything?
Gin died when he used Bankai.
Mayuri's Bankai has always been destroyed so far by the enemy. He always needed Nemu.
>>
Is Yamamoto stronger than squad zero?
>>
>>140458111

How can be stronger if he's dead?
>>
>>140457878
rukia and hitsugaya's are similar but when you look at their usage, its definitely different.

rukia's more on freezing her opponents directly, hitsu's more on using ice as an actual weapon.

he shoots ice daggers, forms walls of ice, uses ice as a prison, grows ice protrusions on his body to stab people.

rukia releases this ice field that freezes whatever it meets.
>>
>>140458111
Yamamoto is hilariously strong but the Squad Zero we've seen (monk and swordnigga) have either conceptual powers that are bullshit or have literally unlimited powers.
>>
>>140457260
Byakuya and Toshiro controll their bankais with their hands.
Are they part quincy? The tsuba of SBZ has a cross. HRM has also a cross. They both have winged forms of their bankais.

Is this a case of >Kuboooooo ?
>>
>>140457341

>There better be a damn good reason

We already know the reason. dipshit. He needs to wait for the bankai's petals to dissipate.
>>
>>140458165
Yamamoto is probably stronger than Nimaya. I don't think there is much he could do against the skeletons. Ichibee on the other hand is probably the strongest Shinigami.
>>
>>140457491
mayuri vs hands
hitsu vs sharktits
byakuya vs pumpkin
>>
>>140457341
He says that he at some point thought his bankai would break apart when the petals fall.
>>
>>140457512
>Maybe he can rape him from his chair

He can rape even Juha from that chair.
>>
>>140458232
This, I'd say Monk is stronger simply because hes too hax. He could silence you before you can even release your sword or just assfuck you with any number of ridiculous powers.
>>
>>140458232
Can't Nimaya just forge a sword that does nothing but disable Yama's powers?
>>
I was hoping Byakuya would suddenly use the move that gives him white wings but I guess this is good enough.
>>
>>140457878
actually, id say that rukia's shikai > hitsugaya's shikai at least.

also lets not forget that rukia's bankai is still new and immature. as people theorized, she could reach the point where she can move while frozen or even reform herself as ice if she gets shattered.
>>
>>140457260
Who is a better shota? Toshiro or Haschwalth?
>>
>>140458237
None of those were 'perfect counters' anon. Just counters, and most of them failed.
>>
>>140458291
Monk's power is retarded, he's literally the fucking author.
He could probably name you 'loser' and you'd fucking lose whatever fight you were in on the spot.
>>
>>140458111
probably yes, except when against Monk. it is actually debatable as we've already seen the entirety of yama's power while the others were killed offscreen with little screen time. i think being a squad zero isn't just strength but contributions and creations that defy logic as well.
>>
>>140458100
Ichigos super speed countered Byakuyas petal spam. Gina real bankai was the only thing that harmed him before Ichigo showed up. Imagine if he used more fragments of his sword and didn't underestimate his regen, Gin could've gotten away with the hogyoku.Mayuris bankai countered pernidas assimilation, he didn't realize pernida could split himself.

Now that I think about it, Rukia counts.
>>
>>140458361
Mayuri's Bankai isn't the counter to anything, it's just poison and a giant bugbaby.
Mayuri makes counters to everything, he fucking modded his Bankai to have a billion different traps just like he modded Nemu.
>>
>>140458111
not the entire squad, because the RG is greater than the combined G13.

Although honestly, it seems like Rape Monk would be doing the heavy lifting vs Yamamoto
>>
>>140458330
you said counters for their "bullshit"
mayuri's bankai is literally made to counter its nerve bullshit... it just didnt take into account the abilities of a quincy.
byakuya's bankai literally blocks out vision and has thousands so even if controlled, there's a lot more.
hitsu and harribel just counter each other.

No. The Squad Zero has hax powers, the only one who really defeated them was YWHACH. If only he didn't pull up that power up bullshit we would've seen him roflstomp the whole squad 1vs5.

Isn't the Monk's main powers dependent on touching you with his brush? If Yamamoto managed to go bankai I think the flames burning at KUBO temperatures would probably protect him from that.
>>
Why are people so confused about Hitsugayas bankai going like this after the petals?
He trained in that same cave place Kommamura did so he likely could have found out then
He and others always said it was immature and obviously in the time skip he's matured it
>>
>>140458453
askin literally just needs to have his heart cut off or his heart taken out, which is easy for yama.
hand's regen probably cant handle yama's fire and he only got real dangerous since mayuri wasnt trying to kill it the first time.
depends on if elements can affect light, as flamingo only dealt with like physical attacks.
maybe if yama's sword takes his soul before he can revive. alternately, it depends if that star thing inside his head is his weakness.
>>
>>140458579
I was referring to his passive silencing ability, which literally steals your ability to speak which is needed to release Bankai.
>>
>>140458111
I think that he's at their level but just likes working in the gotei 13.
>>
>>140458558
Toshiro said he could freeze fire in this chapter

>Senkei
SHIIIIIIETTT FINALLY, BYAKUYA! YOU USED IT. AGAIN!
>>
>>140458579
The monk has also power over darkness, blackness, ink and possibly even evilness. Yamamoto's flames can't really counter that. Not to mention all his kido.
>>
>>140458632
that depends if they sword fight while his zan is sealed. otherwise perhaps yama coats his sword in flame and the ink cant touch it.

>>140458651
ive seen some comics that have a character literally freeze fire.
>>
>>140458348
He must really hate Chad.
>>
>>140458723
Once again, I'm not talking about Ichimonji. Monk can literally steal your voice, and did so to Yhwach without a released sword.
>>
>>140458766
Monk can only do that if you say his name which also lets him revive from the fucking dead.
>>
>>140458651
>>140458672
As well as earth, air, wind, ect. I don't know if it was meant to be literal or jusst an expression meaning 'I can freeze basically anything'. But yes I'm a speedreader, thanks for catching me ;^)
>>
>>140458111
Hotsprings guy could probably counter his flames
>>
>>140458795
The point still stands, Monk has a massive advantage.
>>
To come a little off topic, I don't see bleach threads often so I'll take my chance, how strong is Ichigo now compared to Dangai when he fought Aizen?
Is he the same level? I assume he's actually weaker coz surely if he was that much stronger than Aizen still all the Quincys would be fucked
Can he use his hollow powers still too?
>>
>>140458558
speedreader
>>
>>140458904
weaker but more rounded. apparently he accepted his hollow power and its now one of his swords.
>>
>>140458904
actually <spoiler>no one knows because he hasnt fought properly yet</spoiler>
>>
>>140458833

who do you think heated his hotsprings to begin with ?
>>
>>140458508
Perfect taste
>>
>>140458904
We don't really know, since we've barely seen him fight this arc. But my guess is that hes getting close.

His Hollow powers are now Zangetsu.
>>
>>140458929
A little late >>140458830
>>
>>140458237
Mayuris bankai was modified so it's kinda iffy.
I'll give you Byakuya.
Toshiro's was hardly a counter.
>>
>>140458422
guys

guys!

since hitsugaya matured a bit even before this bankai

did Matsumoto become an ara ara~?
>>
>>140458904
we don't know. It seems like he should be as strong, since he has both his powers working in harmony now, forged into proper zanpakuto. However he hasn't demonstrated any feats comparable to post-Dangai training mode. At the same time, he was in Bankai during his fight with Aizen, so we can't really judge until we see him activate his new Bankai

>Implying Byakuya already break him
>>
>>140458904
He can do two getsugas at once now, so imagine he'll do a double mugetsu
>>
>>140459139
nah, Arrancars are much more durable than Quincies. Hierro and all that jazz
>>
Why isn't Tessai, a guy that can ZA WARUDO and TELEPORT shit, not helping the battle?
>>
>>140459072
Well he did break free almost immediately, so take that as you will.
>>
>>140459181
Speaking of which why Shinigamis lack hardening ability? Even Quincies have Iron blut.
>>
>>140459237
Hes going to catch the Royal Palace with his bare hands in case it falls on Soul Society. Never doubt the Tessai
>>
>>140459237
You can ask the same about the fullbringers Ganju was with. Also he has a prison sentence longer than aizen
>>
>>140459237
He will get his time to shine in the second half. Question is whether he will be an ally or an enemy.

Why is he so perfect?

Game is Bleach Brave Souls for mobile phones

https://youtu.be/qwsK25K_S2c?t=2m26s
>>
>>140457953
>Why the fuck should he stay dead just because he got skewered when his power is to become even more powerful from being skewered?
because hitsu freezes the function of his miracles to make him become more powerful
>>
>>140458509

How is 'perfect' determined?

The match ups frequently enable the 'hero team' character to have something up their sleeve that amounts to 'no but now I win'. We've seen counters time and time again, be it my power > your power for 5 chapters straight as they back and forth or 'final trump' that ends the fight.

Ultimately some things simply fail because my reiatsu > your reiatsu so you're conceptual power just glances off (or you literally can't cut them).
>>
>>140459352
>reiatsu
Hmm that was more like opponents presence is not strong enough to cut him but I guess it passes.
>>
>>140459362
mark these words. kons theme is life and the sin of taking life. he will appear and save ichigo...only to die doing so.
>>
>>140459464
Which will make Ichigo powerup even more?
>>
>>140457637
Ichigo's been basically dead the whole series.
>>
>>140459530
if he still has a hollow side we will see it then
>>
>>140458237
Hobbit literally was loosing it 3vs1 and even his ultimate attack did nothing to her.
>>
So it's the third time Byakuya used Senkei, right? Do we know who it was used against the first time? Because I can't remember shit.
>>
>>140457260
I normally hate Hitsugaya but he does look pretty sexy now.
>>
>>140459800
he didnt even call bankai.
>>
>>140459800
>Do we know who it was used against the first time?
Nope.

Probably some Shiba dude. He went all out on Ganju, and had flashbacks to Kaien while fighting Ichigo. Perhaps Byakuya was the one to kill the head of the Shiba when they were demoted or something.

>>140459934

what the fuck.

>>140459977

Honestly, I think he has grand scale abilities down. If he ever gets another fight, he should showcase some focused abilities.

>>140459928

Bleach is the only anime to deliver filler that wasnt shit.Also this is the arc where shit got its most realest.

This is the most upsetting thing for me.

>>140460302

You aren't that naive. You know damn well a second Bleach anime is guaranteed to happen.
>>
>>140460302
I dont get it. Its still shipping millions of manga. Shittier, lesser known manga have got animes recently.
>>
So does /a/ like Hitsugaya now when he's not shota anymore?
>>
>>140459380
Perfect implies a 100 percent success rate, so I'll let you figure that out
>>
>>140460257
I think that's got to do with the fact that usually Kubo himself gets involved with the script, especially with the movies.

Not only does it ensure having the tone and theme down, it also makes it so that some of the events are plausible or even fit to the main story.

Ginjou's backtory is important for this arc and reveal something about Soul Society's future. He may be even a special Quincy.
>>
>>140458904

No clue, he hasn't done anything 'transient' yet. He got a new power up of dual sword that is 1 hollow 1 shinigami? Or 1 shini-hollow 1 quincy. Either way it's the same shit all he's done so far is shoot 2 getsuga's at the same time and job.

I am retard, please explain the 2 swords to me.

>he's always been using a fake
>the fake was young ywach giving him something in the shape of a sword by hijacking white
>white is some sort of combined entity of that hollow that attacked his mother (making him a fullbring?) and the very same hollow he turns into when urahara does his power regain training. That hollow IS his soul power (instead of being handed a blank sword and filling it yourself, ichigo was already full at birth because he's super hybrid (shinigami, hollow, quincy), thus skipping traditional shinigami sword/soul projection steps, because he's not really a shinigami.)

When shota fought shark tits he basically revelaed that his power is neither really ice nor cold.
While OMG's bankai basically is to burn you out of existence by maximising molecular vibration, also he is a fitting japanese style death god with them burning corpses and ashes and so on.
Compare that to Rukia who basically turns molecular vibrations to zero and fits into the classic cold death role of the western world.

I've always wondered why this fucker is never around. Two 'forbidden' spells that could and should alter the battle.

They don't kido spam enough either (granted at this point in the series my powerlevel > your power level so the spells even with saying all the words probably just bounces off). But really, teach the time stop and teleport spells to urahara, shunsei, hitsu or any of the end game captains and it should still work, they ARE cutting miracle after all. Kido is so under used and so was the fat pink guy who 'recognized' similarities with his and orihime's power. Reject the existence of opponents anyone?

Well but Yhwach was raped by OMG once and the entire reason the bankai sealing medals exist was Yama's bankai, implying that Yama was still more dangerous than Ichibei.
Now what annoys me is how high of themselfs those elite quincy guards are.
They were killed by the Zero Squad easily, but behve like they are the most shit ever.
The only reason they are still standing is because Yhwach used auswahlen to kill most of the remaining quincy and revive and power them up.

More likely that Rukia ends up as a quincy, alone for the fact that Kubo could make a final moon sun, dark light, ice and fire showdown.

To be fair, maybe them being killed is part of Yhwach's plan.

>>
>>140458600
It seems a bit silly that his bankai's true form is just a better version of another character's bankai.

It's also kinda annoying that Kubo keeps going back on his established lore, in that Ichigo's bankai was extraordinary for its small, compressed nature. I can kinda forgive Rukia's, since he was clearly trying to keep in line with the whole black/white thing he remembers occasionally, but the inconsistencies are starting to add up all over.
>>
>>140461237
One of them is the heart of the Soul King. The other is the left hand of the Soul King. Another was able transcendent very close to godhood and had many parallels to Aizen during Deicide. And last one is Askin. Have you seen what it took to defeat them? And four of them might still not be dead.

They were justified in their bragging. Though only Gerard really bragged. Pernida lacked the inteligence and Askin is always down-playing himself. Lille was mostly stoic until the godhood went over his head.

He's weaker. What made dangai strong was that he was fused to his sword and it was operating at it's peak before it burns out like a flame. Current Ichigo is just a really strong shinigami. He's still separate from his sword.

Current Aizen is the strongest since he literally is his own sword now. He can use his original powers at will even on someone he has never met before like Yhwach.
>>
>>140461749
Maybe a more powerful version. Not like it would help.
>>
>>140462141
Current Ichigo is just barely below his Dangai form, and he was in Bankai for that. Both versions have Ichigo fully embracing all parts of his power and his Fullbring training has apparently only made him stronger, not to mention that his Quincy powers are fully awakened after fighting Quilge and he has Royal Realm training.

The five noble families are most likely noble because they helped sealing the Soul King and creating the new Soul Society. Well, assuming Ise family and their anti-god sword are also one. The noble families have even authority over Ichibee, the godfather of Soul Society.

I'm still betting on the Soul King and his comatose crystal thing being something he was forced into, not something he did by choice. I'd assume the 5 Royal Families saw some threat to their stability, subdued the guy together, threw him into the crystal, and then built their society around that. The Shiba probably got the boot for trying to fight for the Soul King's right to autonomy and his own will. The Shihouin are all about the secret treasures that seem built to dismantle various aspects of soul society, like the armor that seems tied tot he Soul king, and the shield and spear that broke the execution glaive. Incidentally, I also assume Uryuu's whole role as heir to The A will involve Yhwach trying to throw him into the crystal in his place, and that Jugram, in a blind stupid fit of jealousy will try to jump in instead, binding half of Yhwach's power and leaving him vulnerable enough to fight on semi-even terms.

The series nature is lies upon lies and 'authoritative characters' who /actually don't know the truth/. Like what ever Kubo wants to reveal as half truth is always acceptable because 'they didn't know every fact', because the facts keep changing.

We're still to get to the core conspiracy of the various dimensions (how the interact and that weird dog land), exactly what ywachs grievances were that he wanted to over throw SS, what the fuck happened exactly 1000 years ago, why SK is some monster in ice, why urahara & co and aizen went and made god gems (something they learned about the reality they live in?) and what the fuck the Shiba's did to get removed from royalty. Then there's the question of if Isshin was complicit in orchestrating Ichigo's life and grooming him to basically be jesus and sacrifice himself to keep /this reality/ they characters know from breaking or being remade into something they don't want. Basically Ichigo will be Shinji at the end.

>>140463071
We know the Soul King is the pillar of the various segregated world structures
It is highly suggested that the Soul King is not a shinigami given his relation to Yhwach
He's living in the crystal without his limbs and heart
People still speak to him like he's alive, though he's never answered back
The royal attendent very clearly implied the Soul King could still hear and thus thik
The Royal Families are not just aristocracy but structures of authority in Soul Society
We know of the Kuchiki, the Shihouin, and the former royal Shiba houses
We've seen the Shihouin relics branded with their family seal in several instances
We know Uryuu being heir was a shock to the sternritter, and the heir role has yet to be re-addressed
We know most of the sternritter had no idea what Yhwach was planning
We know Jugram and Uryuu still have a distinct rivalry
Given Kubo's writing habits with bad twists, a few stray loose ends linked with jugram, and obvious tonal cues, it's entirely likely that Jugram is going to be a traitor to Yhwach, the vaugary is how/when
Uryuu has yet to be rescued

Obviously it's just a theory, but it's hardly baseless. The longer these things go unresolved the higher the chance that they're going to be resolved all at once in one big interreatled clusterfuck of exposition. This is just one of a few potential resolutions given those parameters.
>>
>>140463071
Soul King is enemy of the Shinigami. Soul King was also sealed. Lynchpin system was created to make afterlife japanese. Ise family is a noble family with anti god sword. Anti god sword disperses the power of a god into all directions. Soul King is a god, whose power and body parts were dispersed into all directions. Pernida and Gerard (and maybe even Gremmy) are working with Yhwach, who killed the Soul King. Yhwach considered killing his father ending his misery. Noble families have authority over Ichibee. Noble families posses artifacts related to the Soul Palace and gods. Ichibee is godfather of Soul Society and was given the title by someone.

Since Gin was just pretending all along, we didn't even get to see his actual personality

Ywach just wanted to suicide his pawns because he's an asshole and to manipulate Ichigo into becoming SK by attempting to kill his friends, then suiciding on his sword transferring SK powers.

So far he doesn't give a shit about underlings (a trait shared with Yama) and didn't bother to 'I win' when he could and instead has spent time goading everyone into position.

>>140463612
His personality is that of a snake he said that during his back story and plot to kill aizen

He was purposely putting on a mask when he started working with Aizen. The perpetual smile and sarcasm was mostly an act to make it easier for others to antagonize him
>>
>>140463398
Was not the founder of that Yama and not Ichibe.
>>
>>140463460
I think it's less a change of plan and more he had several options he could chose from and didn't want to chose one yet. I think he decided to stick to something definitve during the hiatus before the second invasion began. By the time he drew Ukitake praying before the lotus, he most likely knew what he wanted. The second invasion is called "Seperation Saga".

Anon that's exactly what a snake does. it waits for the perfect time to strike fast and clean. Just like what Gin and his sword did.

>>
>>140463657
>>140462545
At absolute zero, you can't even really call it the concept of "cold" anymore. It's basically a state where there's no energy at all.

Not trying to underplay Hitsugaya's Bankai, but you definitely don't need 0 Kelvin to just freeze fire. Rukia's Bankai is just overkill, but presumably has drawbacks we have yet to see, and doesn't seem as well rounded as Hitsugaya's anyway.

>The second invasion is called "Seperation Saga".

why does that say shikai?

>>140462817

Because Ywauch is actually a shinigami (or other soul construct) who went off and bred with humans.

Do we have the full time line anyway?

When was SS formed?
When was SK sealed?
We know Yama was 2000~ ish.
The last war was 1000 years ago and the result was just banishing Ywauch, not killing him.
We know that prior to being banished he was on Earth gathering random peons for him to sacrifice during the current war.
He also found some random human 'who is his other half'.
He's also SK's 'son'.

There's an entire 20+ chapter flashback arc we need.
>>
>>140463763
>>140463842
What I mean is that he probably would've been more engaging and less of an asshole if his plan didn't require him to behave like that
He was nice to Rangiku and Kira, and unlike what he claimed, he was shown to have feelings and show concern for others after he stabbed Aizen and fled.
>>
>>140462545
I know you might not believe this, but to 'freeze' fire (aka put it out due to cold) you simply have to lower the temperature to sub-ignition temperatures. The problem is that the fire itself is usually so hot you can't just stick a torch in the fridge.
To actually freeze a flame is fucking impossible/

Yamamoto is only the founder of the Gotei and the Shinigami Academy. He was given the title of CC by someone, presumbly Ichibee. Since Ichibee named all the shit and Nimaya made Zanpakto, they were in the Royal Realm long before Yamamoto founded the Academy. Since Ichibee is the godfather of Soul Society, someone needed to be the mother or father of Soul Society and made him godfather.

Yhwach was born Quincy, He was just one of many in a line of special Quincy. It just happened he was the first, who wasn't culled. All special Quincy are presumbly the sons of the Soul King. So Haschwalth and maybe even Ichigo and Ginjou are the Soul King's sons.

Once Ywahach awakens her as his quincy spy and only truly blood related daughter after the death of her sister this will change.

Okay way from that, well the matter still exists, so there would still be energy, but the particles would be in a suspended state, basically all interaction even from 4 fundamental forces are broken.
They have no energy to move and all binding forces are lost, so even if you would pour energy from the outside back into the entire structure of what it was once would have been lost.
0K basically is a huge fuck you to causality.

If Perriot adds filler fighting sequences during the fights and does maybe a filler of a flashback during the First War and younger Yamamoto's, Unohana and other captains days in case Kubo isn't, I'm totally down.
Unlike Naruto or other animes with bunch of fillers, I find the ones in Bleach very enjoyable, they can even make a Hell filler arc too, the movie was fun.
I pray that the anime returns ASAP, something like next year.

Honestly I don't care anymore, like most writers manga authors often have no fucking idea how physics works beyond memes and just how inanely overpowered simple sounding abilities like 'make electricity' or 'control gravity' really are.

Maybe. Or maybe 100 chapters in the future we learn that he turned himself into Soul King replacement in preparation to events to current arc, and also "woke up" Soul Society from it's peacefull slumber to get them ready for war, and also 'created' and trained Ichigo as human/quincy/shinigami/hollow-arrancar/everything-imaginable hybrid to have someone capable of defeating Yhwach.

Yes, that does sound like crazy talk, but Aizen had no 'reasonable' motive for all things and slip-ups he did, and well, it's Kubo. Such stuff is what you should be expecting atthis point.

>>140464858
>Well technically a flame is plasma
But it fucking isn't you idiot, just the temperatures betray that - a methane flame is like 1000 degrees Celsius, that's nowhere near plasma level.
Also, 'freezing' a flame in that case simply means turning the air solid (which really should have happened to Rukia and encased her in a block of solid nitrogen), not freezing the flame and the flame alone.
>>
>>140464367
I love that page
>>
>>140464520
If we can take Hitsugaya at his word (which if we can't then why should we take Rukia's?) he can freeze anything regardless of state of matter/size/temperature/etc..etc.. he can even 'freeze' conceptual abilities like the damage reflect from Hoffnung and literally froze the air behind Gerard's shield when he tossed it.

If it's not 0K then the distinction is meaningless as it results in the same effect. 0K stops the motion of all particles. Hitsugaya's Bankai freezes everything absolutely.

And Hitsugaya's doesn't have any of the restrictions of Rukia's and is more versatile is many different ways.

>>140464956
>which really should have happened to Rukia and encased her in a block of solid nitrogen

Not really. The distance between particles in the air wouldn't allow a solid block of ice to form around her.
>>
>>140462322
I read this to mean that each of the five potentials has some "ability" that's so strong that Almighty can't predict it. Hence, they're the only five capable of tipping the war in any fashion, since Yhwach has seen literally everything else.

>Can't foresee Ichigo's development, which is why he was surprised by him awakening blut vene.
>Can't foresee the power of Aizen's reitsu, which is why Aizen was able to fuck with his perception of time.
>Zaraki will probably do something, Monk has some kind of knowledge that can help Ichigo & friends that Yhwach doesn't know about.

I don't see how this is relevant to my post, I'm not one of those people who compares Rukia's bankai to Hitsu's bankai.
>0K stops the movement of all particles
0K does a lot more bullshit that that but whatever.
Personally I refuse to belive Rukia was at 0K, none of the theoretical BS that 0K entails showed up.
>>140465176
Her big move was basically an area-of-effect freeze though, that should have frozen the air and caused more air to be sucked in due to the rapid depressurization.

Most of the shit Toshirou pulls with his bankai is level 10 moves if you wanna phrase it like. I hate the fucker and Ice powers but even I can respect his power.

Actually if we go according to rules most common to magic and such the one lvl10 would consume much more power than 5 lvl5 attacks or even 2 or 3 lvl9 attacks as the increase in power consumption and performance usualy is not gradual but an exponential one.
That is why reaching that stage is regarded as such a high tier broken shit.

The combo's pretty good but my favorite is still the earlier one with Urahara since it explained his mentality, was decently paced for once, and the big reveal wasn't an asspull as much as it was "Lol, I just asked extra people to back me up if things looked bad."

Urahara bankai is a fucking mini god son combined with his planning he can most likely do anything he wants with it. Nuckledu was just even more broken.

Mayuri only cares about experiments that help him personally though.

You must be blind or an idiot. They're all shots at a level where her feet are flat on the ground with absolutely minimal relevant variance in "camera" height, and The silhouette of her head matches chin-to-hair spike and have all be sized to fit one another. Her relative height to other character is more or less consistant but their height also changes relative to their own proportions in other shots. It's not some kind of heinous crime, it's more common than not with shitty rushed art, which is basicaly all weekly publications, but the point is that it's not some nebulous abstract that can't be verified. Yes, there are inconsistencies in Rukia's proportions.

Kumagawa works better as an example.

He was basically a side-character with a broken power because he didn't care about going all out when he could have ended most conflicts in a second if he actually cared.

That's why he was a great character because he didn't ruin the manta by being an obnoxious plot device character.

Most likely due to, along with Ajimu, being the only character who knew he was stuck in a manga.

Yeah but Gerard starts weak and so do Pernida to lesser extent. Yamamoto can kill him before he becomes too strong.

So, you could say that Hitsugaya is a late bloomer

He didn't use it on Pumpkin Pie, and Gerard's mere existence probably offended him. We think it's funny now but to everyone fighting him he's basically the Lord of Cinders from DS III - you finally beat him and suddenly he's fucking back at full health, but even worse because he gets stronger and can keep coming back.

Bleach is a very dangerous work; and not in a good way.

Considering that the sensibilities of the shinigami organisation largely essentially breaks down to a mixture of the, in Japanese society still romantisised and revisionist history-obsessed, wartime fascism of Japan mixed with samurai and Shinsengumi choreography.

My impression of the entire organisation is that it is callous, social-Darwinist, amoral, nihilistic, and bloodthirsty, with the defining shinigami captains making recurrent viewpoint quotes along these themes.

Or at least that's my impression when, for example, Joseph Mengele... err Mayuri is allowed to run free with his atrocities, ditto for Jack the Ripper... err Kenpaichi marketed as an ideal. And when the enemies to be slaughtered include horribly bastardised, vilified, and distorted versions of YHWH... err Yhwach... and his squadron of light and angelic themed Christians... err Quincies. Or when another enemy is the X-men... err X-Cution, which consists of crazy disaffected outsiders/essentially much of the audience ... err aberations to be cleansed. Whereas the hollows might be even more cruelly distorted versions of people who simply feel empty and despairing inside. And then combined with the ongoing slaughter, moral nihilism, and bile fascination... Well, the sum total picture isn't pretty.

It is probably mostly unintentional reminiscing of being on the Nanking perpetrating side during the war, but combined with the offhanded slaughter it ends up lecturing children everywhere in how being an amoral, psychopathic, nihilistic, or darkness and death-mongering Social Darwinist is the ideal state of being.

At the very least there is very heavy ongoing imagery.

Then again, Ichigo and his friends are mostly perfectly nice people, and the craftsmanship of the storytelling is okay, warranting a 4/10 on those merits.

Top kek.

As many times as Gerard would get burned, he'd just get bigger and bigger and stronger each time, a bigger target sure, but eventually Gerard would probably get big and strong enough that he wouldn't need blut vene to withstand being near Yamamoto, and could then just use it for additional protection to attack yamamoto and not lose a hand or foot to the sun temperature armor thing Yamamoto has.

Go on long enough, Yamamoto dies to the heat of his own bankai and Gerard lives.

>>140469227
It is not intact
Mayuri keeps modifying it, so in a sense of the word he repairs it, stitches it back, modifies it to first create the infested huge thing that gives birth to what was before the usual bankai with customizations, etc.

I guess Ichigo's sword was harder to fix because it isn't an actual living being but it was a sword that literally needed to be reforged.

>>140469017
No they are not. We have not seen their corpses. Even Ichibei said that they just need some time to rest and gather their strength before coming back to stop Ywach.
>>
>>140467885
For the sake of argument, Isshin would be far less of a Quincy than Ichigo, and he is 'full' Shinigami, so potential Quincy heritage does not weaken Shinigami power. Also, soul balance required not absence of Quincy power, but presence of Shinigami power. So as long as Isshin was a Shinigami, it did not matter what else he was.

Also, Shinigami heritage might be canceling out/repressing Quincy heritage, as shown by Ichigo and his sisters not being affected by Yhwach Quincy purge

>stop
more like defend.
they clearly know that something needs to be in the place for being a 'lynchpin' of the worlds.

They will defend Yhwach unless they have in mind someone capable of replacing him just as he replaced the SK.

So either the 'Ichigo will be forced to become SK' theory is true, and the RG will fight against Yhwach and have no problem with forcing Ichigo to replace him, or they will totally defend Yhwach because his presence is needed for stability.

You cannot deny that the gotei 13 are romanticized as heroic people despite some of them being despicable. You also cannot deny that they are obviously reminiscent of a feudal Japanese government and their enemies are evocative of foreign countries such as the absurdly Spanish arrancar and offensively nazi vandenreich.
>>
>>140466993

>can cut arms
>nobody decapitates all day long

In a world without armour, where my power level > your power IS armour, why do you continue to diagonal 'shoulder slashes' AND land them, instead of slicing the head off? You clearly have enough power level to cut their shoulder, why not aim for the fucking head?
>>
>>140466697
Well that double had aparently access to all of Yhwachs knowledge.

This implies that Yama raped Yhwach without even the abilities of his bankai.
>>
>>140470180
>You cannot deny that the gotei 13 are romanticized as heroic people despite some of them being despicable

Same could be said of all armies.

You got no point, and the "the work is dangerous, if it portrays people killing other people as protagonists then it encourages murder!" part is especially silly.

Just what the fuck can he do with it? Is it capable of reassembling things anyway he wants?

It's not a black and white thing. Soul Society does do a lot of bad shit, but it also brings stability. They acknowledge it themselves that they're as just or evil as the villains. In the end it doesn't matter, because reality never conforms to those ideals. We protect our loved ones, even if we have to kill our enemies who aren't any different from us. It's realpolitik.

Without knowing more of the villains' aspirations and the history of SS, I'll go ahead and say that SS is a better option to Aizen or Yhwach killing shitloads of people. Even with Joseph Mengele walking about.

Besides, their morality is significantly different regarding death, because afterlife is confirmed. We cant really apply our morality to a situation like that.

Gerard was shown to have a core that caused his regeneration.

Nerves could be overpowered or an affected area is sacrificed for another forbidden one shot kido. Aside from that nerves are kinda easily destroyed with fire.

Poison burns and a direct hit from serious Yama is insta gib.

Lillie most likely just like Gerard has a core that causes his power. Besides that Yama shines brighter.

>>140468308
Rukia actually looks a lot like a female version of child Yhwach and her power theme also fits into the quincy area.

I am still going to believe that this will end how it began, with Rukia stabbing Ichigo.
Some moon and sun, fire and ice, light and darkness shit.

>>140469031
completely agree, I called it from the beginning that soul society was evil.
glad to see more people acknowledging this fastidious fact
>>
How the fuck did Nimaiya kill this fucker in like a single panel?
>>
>>140469120
Yama did not die because of his bankai's heat.
It was implied him having it active for too long endangers their world.

Also Gerard can be killed, he actually died to the Zero Guard and needed to be directly revived by Yhwach.

You are going no limits fallacy here.
>>
>>140470206
Same reason snipers don't aim at head, since even if you miss you're likely to hit something else.
Or they are aiming at head, but targets are avoiding blow on head, taking it on shoulder instead.
Not doing horizontal slashes as top->down vertical ones have more power
Also, decapitations tend to be lethal. Some characters might prefer their opponents defeated rather than dead. As does author, since he can always reuse them again.

But mostly aiming issue.
>>
>>140469151
Why the hell did Yhwach let him out of his shadows?
If he didn't do that then he would've continued being pretty much invincible.
>>
>>140470856
The elite didn't have their full power until Yhwach sapped it back from ther other sternritters and gave it back to them.

Showd by Lille basically soloing the royal guard after.

Yama told Yhwach that he even he's susceptible to his own bankai's heat, pic related.

And Gerard's shown no real limits to the damage thing, damage in, size out.

what a shit-eating grin

>>140470686
Though there are several hints that the Shinigami could become the enemies again. And with the Soul King's own body parts being on Yhwach's side and things implying that the Shinigami were the aggressors in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that the war is much more complex. And Bleach will most likely end with Ichigo bringing proper change and balance to Soul Society and making the afterlife better for all races and classes.

Why didn't Uyruu, Ichigo and his sisters get hit with the recall power anyway? Far as we know quincy is completely genetic, was there anything about 'first born only gets the power, every one else gets nothing'. Both sisters are slowly getting the capability to see ghosts. Though that could also be because daddy is a ghost.

How does a ghost occupying a 'fake' body fuck a human and deliver viable sperm? How does it deliver /his/ ghost DNA sperm?

>>140471121
well technically i think we've seen him hit his limit on size, now he just seems to ge stronger every time he heals, but no bigger.

>>140470964
Nah he powered them up by sacrificing the others.
>>
bleach is jojo done wrong
>>
>>140471358
Nah, it's just that they've selectively been doing damage to mostly one body part.

If they trashed his whole body he'd probably come back bigger, but they've been doing damage to things like destroying the one arm which would bring that back stronger instead of bigger or he'd be lopsided.

Not sure if the split in two didn't make him a bit bigger either.

Majority of impure quincies need Yhwach's help to unlock their powers(or was that about blut only?). They need to undergo a ritual with Yhwach. Ichigo is exceptionaly strong thus he can use some quincy powers on his own.

That's probably because he hasn't tried to, nor does he even really know how to do any Quincy abilities.

As I stated,

Uyruu apparently "posseses something that can surpass Yhwach power". Which might be the same for Ichigo and his sisters, since even Ichigo was a weakling back then, so I would blame their Shinigami "blood" shielding them.

Yeah the Yhwach who kills his own people and genocides for shits and giggles and who does not care about the world balance, which as far as we know exists otherwise Yama would have never pardoned Mayuri annihilating the so many Rukongai inhabitants.
