>zangetsu is not actually zangetsu I haven't been into

>>142462986
zangetsu is zangetsu. Its just that the new villain also resembles Zangetsu

Zangetsu is and always has been Zangetsu. However, Zangetsu is also Zangetsu, so now there are two Zangetsu.

>How many plot holes did this twist create?
None because it was foreshadowed in the first 100 chapters.

>>142462986
None. Kubo=God

>>142462986
None.

There are no plot holes in Bleach, rukia not killing that first hollow asides.

What? Plot holes? In Bleach?

Bleach is perfect you fucking inbred. There ARE NO plotholes in bleach. Kubo is the greatest writer in Japan right now and I'm FUCKING sick and FUCKING tired of him not getting the props he deserves by ASSHOLES who don't even have the worth to read his poetry. GOD IS KUBO AND KUBO IS GOD.

Truly one of the few 9s in this series.

>>142462986
He's still technically Zangetsu. Zangetsu is the name of Ichigo's Zanpakuto, which in turn is shaped by his inner spirit. Ichigo has two inner spirits, just like the other Shinigami who have two Zanpakuto. One is the manifestation of his Shinigami powers (Shiro, the Hollow) and the other is the manifestation of his Quincy powers (Young Yhwach, Old Man Zangetsu). Together they make both blades of Zangetsu.

Before, the Quincy spirit forced the Shinigami spirit out to protect Ichigo. His Hollow transformations was the Old Man Zangetsu allowing Shiro to intervene, which is why they only happened when Ichigo was completely fucked.

As for plot holes, it didn't really create any because Kubo is the kind of writer that just scatters plot points through his work with the intention of maybe picking them up later if he remembers. There is foreshadowing, but it's pretty impossible to pick up on without this new information. It just turned everything we had established about Ichigo's powers on it's head.

>>142462986
>How many plot holes did this twist create?

None, actually. Learn to Kubo.

I saw Tite Kubo at a grocery store in Karakura Town yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him about hirako's bankai or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any reiatsu infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

How many genuie asspulls are actually there in Bleach? People say things like Yammy being Espada Zero, but usually those were foreshadowed or explained in a way that makes sense. Like Yammy never called himself Espada 10 and Ulquiorra did say that Yammy wasn't at full power. Nel did mention that the Espada are only made of sindle digit numbers and 10 is obviously not a single digit.

So how many genuie asspulls are there in Bleach and which? It's unlikely that a long runner like Bleach has zero asspulls.

Man I've forgotten how hard Kubo does Kuboing

Where does Tensa Zangetsu falls in all this?

I didnt read / watch bleach since the rukia rescue arc .Should i start now ?

>>142467903
Yes. Read it.

>>142466736
It made perfect sense and was foreshadowed so consistently over a decade that it triggered one existential crisis after another for people who were still reading the series.

>>142467735
Unsure. I say Ichigo had the right idea. "I don't care what you guys say, you're both Zangetsu to me" was his reaction. It's easily the best solution.

>>142467903
It's fun like eating thumbtacks

>>142467931
As someone who've read the manga, I say the "I'm not Zangetsu, your hollow is" was unneeded. They didn't need the old man to deny being Zangetsu.

>>142467735
When The hollow grows stronger Tensa/Yhwach becomes weaker thus younger

>>142467903
No.

>>142468039
Ichigo always assumed he was his Zanpakutou powers, Zangetsu, and the old man never bothered to correct his impression of him. The guy may have been serving as an intermediary for Zangetsu's power but he himself was not his sword spirit.

Will ichigo ever use the hollow mask transformation again? That was the coolest shit maybe he can combine it with all the new stuff he got since then. Also wish his fullbring transformation got more screentime.

>>142468449
No need for it. Essentially he IS the mask now.

I mean it might become a mask in time. He only just forced the powers to the surface. And anything goes after he uses Bankai.

>>142468532
I can see his bankai being the full hollow form, maybe with a few small changes.

And his holy form being like Mugetsu, the Mugetsu he used against Aizen being a Letzt Stil of sorts.

I mean, once Ichigo used Mugetsu, he did start to look more like Yhwach, black hair, red eyes and all that. Even the black energy around his body like Yhwach has now.

>>142468532
Well guess i need to catch up. I know he has the powers of a quincy and seeing this he still has the hollow stuff. There must be some combine all for a super transformation coming up.

OK, access to full power. My bad.

Given how they're "one & the same", I say they're both the sword spirit. This is like if one side of a coin said "I'm not part of this coin"

>>142468794
Ah, okay. Scrap my response then. I get what you mean.

>>142465735
Well, he kind of was.
Or he atleast thought he was because he deluded himself into thinking that he's the reason for Ichigo's existence because he's got an ego the size of the Soul Society.

What a strange way to say Asano Inio

>>142467982
According to Ichigo, Zangetsu never lied, so when he said "I'm Tensa Zangetsu" in the Dangai training, it was probably true.
But all in all, both the old man and the hollow always said they where the same thing, and how they appeared only depended on who was more powerful in that particular moment. Which, if you consider that basically his Quincy powers have ALWAYS been suppressing his hollow, means that he never was at full power. Also, there's a few things of interest:
Until recently, Ichigo only had a proper zanpakuto when he was using Rukia's.
Ichigo's OP reiatsu only really awakens when Ishida tries to use his reiatsu as quincy power to shoot his arrows.
Old Man has been able to create sham zanpakutos all the time, he does that both in the inner world, and when materialize by Ichigo for bankai training.
Ichigo couldn't actually hear the name the Old Man said the first time they meet.
In the end, Ichigo acknowledges that Zangetsu, ultimately, is just himself.

>>142468921
>fun next week

It didn't kill Lille and Nanao is named after the Ise grand shrine that houses the sacred mirror. And more importantly that sword is most likely what made the Soul King loose his body parts.

Well it's Kubo, Ichigo's a Quincy and we know he absorbs reishi from his opponents. Add that into the fact that the only 2 people in the series that Ichigo has killed have been Ulquiorra and Ginjo and when Ulquiorra died he broke down into reishi, like all hollows.

Yeah I could very well see Ichigo pulling a lanza del relampago out of his ass in the next few chapters.

You're wrong. Chad explicitly said that it's his skin he transforms. His coin would make a lot more sense but it wasn't mentioned.

>>142469507
Speaking of plot holes, if Hollows are the opposite of quincies, how is it possible that at the beginning of this arc, there were some arrancars who were given quincy powers? Also how was Jirge able to absorb an hollow in his Vollstanding and not be poisoned?

>>142469584
Nope, it's his skin.

On another note, I woulda liked if if Ichigo would have used the good luck charm Isshin gave him instead of the shinigami badge

>>142469507
Soken's and Ryuken's behavior hinted at there being more about the Quincy. Soken knew why Ryuken didn't want to do anything with the Quincy and why he lied to Uryuu but didn't tell Uryuu himself. His letter for the Sanrei glove also implied that he would need the power for something else and wasn't meant to be taken so early. And it was mentioned that Soken tried to negoiate between Quincy and Shinigami. If the Quincy were extinct between whom would Soken have negoitated?

>>142469673
Because he didn't absorb the reiatsu, just the reishi that made up the hollow bodies.

As to the hollow quincy, who the fuck knows. It probably has to do with Yuha's power to give others a part of his soul in order to give them power.

>>142469486
Her faeries are sentient. They even have hierarchy between themselves.

>>142469673
Because they were Arrancars, not Hollows. Arrancars break their mask to gain Shinigami qualities, which acts as a buffer between the Hollow and Quincy reiatsus.

>>142469727
and Yumichika but for anyone else it's useless. Remember momo and her kido combo which was BTFO

>>142462986
It turns out he actually is Zangetsu, but the hollow guy is Zangetsu too, so they're both Zangetsu while neither of then is Zangetsu too, by being part of Zangetsu but Zangetsu being other thing entirely but more than the sum of their parts but not being it at the same time. So they're not Zangetsu, they're Zangetsu, they're part of Zangetsu and not part of it at the same time.

By injecting them with a vaccine made of Shinigami and human souls. That's how Urahara cured the Vizards, by using a vaccine made of Quincy arrows and human souls. Alternatively they weren't cured. It took Masaki about a day until the side effects kicked in and Tosen didn't immediately commit Soul Suicide. We don't know how long the Arrancar had been quincified. Or the guy who is probably the Balance can create an artificial balanc in one's inner soul.

Sorry, you're not some weird orange-haired hybrid of every fucking conceivable thing.

In my opinion, Isshin should just fuck Orihime, though. He's not as dense as a rock and probably knows how to hit the spots quite well.

Shame Orihime losing her brother defined her more so. If it had been her father she lost (like in the proto I think?) she could have had a daddy complex. Nice.

>>142469843

>>142469800

What is this guy doing at this point just bankai and absorb everything

>>142468921
He really looks like Bankai Kenpachi due to the lack of pupils. The markings and his clothes being torn to shit also resembles Kenpachi. Makes me think that Kenpachi's part hollow or something. It would explain how he gave Unohana a hell of a fight as a child.

What will happen once Ichigo goes bankai? As it's the first time Ichigo would be using the true Bankai, would he be shit at using it? Ichigo's bankai is going to be extremely powerful, so it'll probably be harder to use for the first time. Perhaps Ichigo didn't want to risk making a fool of himself with Bankai, so he went with this form instead.

>>142462986
None, surprisingly

>>142469777
Maybe arrancars not in resurrecion actually don't have hollow reiatsu (since Urahara said that RESURRECTED arrancars do, which implies the opposite isn't true).

>>142468777

His family made sense, but still the negotiations don't make sense with the Quincies that had been preparing a war for 1000 years. Even if he did negotiate, it was probably limited to the exiled ones.

I liked how Ichigo explained how his powers work while being in balance. Also explained the parts where Zangetsu (hollow Ichigo) stepped in and took over and how that happens.

But who did Ichigo mean the chapter before this when he said he needed to jolt someone awake?

>>142469941
I don't think Isshin will ever get over Best Girl/Masaki's death.

And even if he did, he wouldn't fuck one of Ichigo's friends. That's fucked, man.

>>142462986
Ichigo's bankai was shit. You had to notice that he could only fight with his mask which turned out to be his real power.

Ichigo's bankai will be him "bleaching" himself so he looks exactly like his hollow right?

Nonsense, imouto's belong to their big brother, especially when they're brocons like them.

I stopped right after Old Blaze Beard died. Have they explained Ichigo vs. Aizen Ichigo? Which had basically dimension-ripping level of powers?

You know, I get that we didn't see it to create SUSPENSE AND DRAMA, but to this day I still wonder how did Ichigo's bankai training turn out.
How exactly did he win against Old Man Zangetsu? Which realization allowed him to find the real Zangetsu? Was the "real Zangetsu" he found at the end of the training Tensa Zangetsu? How ironic would that be considering what we know now? There were a thousand chances to show the end of that training in a flashback, but it just never happened.

Ichigo vs Aizen was explained in the cover for the final Deicide :^)

Fullbrings are abilities awakened by residual Hollow reiatsu passed from mother to child in birth. So if the mother was attacked by a Hollow before the kid was born then they become a Fullbringer. From the descriptions of the Fullbring ability it's some weird fusion of Quincy/Shinigami powers.

>Are Hollows the essense of Shinigami powers?

Yes and no. All living things have powers locked away in the heart of their souls. Most can't use it and the few who can usually can't until they die. Hollows cannibalize their heart and wear it as a mask, which gives them the ability to manifest the powers of the soul.

Shinigami use blank hollow vessels called Asauchi, which is like a base Zanpakuto, and impress their reiatsu onto the vessel which begins to reflect their inner powers over time and changes shape/identity in reaction to its owner.

>>142470751
It's not accurate that all living things have powers, there are plenty of human souls that don't turn into hollows and don't have shinigami powers either, in fact it seems that the great majority of people are like that.

>>142470915
Not that guy, but it was a vague plot hook that could have gone either way.

>>142470740
We did see it. He pulled it out of himself the ones around him were all fake

>>142470751
Hmm...
Aren't some zanpakutos passed down? Like Rukia's? I don't think she did shit for the spirit already within the zanpakutou...

If not Rukia's, I remember there were zanpakutos that had previous owners and were given to the current cast.

>>142470915
Still waiting to know if that whole "Yachiru is his sword" is true or if it's just a hallucination that he had in a moment of weakness.
If Yachiru truly was his sword all along, why is it that she could interact with everyone? How could she fight on her own? How could she be separated from Kenpachi?
All these questions need answers before I accept the whole thing

>>142470949
Yeah but all souls are capable of turning into Hollows under the right conditions. It's just that most are either tended to by Shinigami, or don't have the earthly attachments that lets their chain of fate burn away entirely before passing on.

And yeah not all souls have the same level of power and many are unable to reach the powers inside them even after death.

>>142467903
Read it to see how hard you get kubo'd

>>142471059
The only sword that was passed down is Nanao's, and even then I'm not really sure if you can call that thing a zanpakutou seeing as it was passed down, and not an impression of a soul on an asauchi

>>142471059
>If not Rukia's, I remember there were zanpakutos that had previous owners and were given to the current cast.

There aren't. Sometimes an asauchi from a fallen Shinigami will be wielded by someone else, but its original power is replaced by the new Shinigami's power. Kenpachi and Tousen both did this.

There's also Nanao's sword but that one is special.

None really. They're both Zangetsu now anyway.

>>142470827
I'd be inclined to agree if the dots he leaves in didn't line up as often as they do. There's that one guy who always cites the reread and reconnect storymaking style from Bakuman to dismiss what the guy's done but which is the more likely scenario here, the guy actually plans out his characters and includes little seemingly insignificant clues for later or that one of the few jump authors who makes sure that he works reasonable work hours every week, doesn't bother with backgrounds and is responsible for "The Heart" regularly combs through a decade's worth of manga panels so he can string along a few implicit random details into a new twist?

>>142471061
Apparently one can manifest their sword spirits into the world. Renji and Unohana both did it with theirs and Kenny was never one to let lack of knowledge stop him from doing something. Did anyone ever say that sword spirits can't be away from their owners?

>>142471613
If you're talking about the scene where Renji is on the ground and sees the monkey with the snake tail that said it was his sword, that was probably a vision that his sword spirit manifested for him to see (and only him).
I don't remember Unohana manifesting her sword spirit, unless you're talking about when she flies around on a giant ray looking thing, but I'd be inclined to called that her shikai rather than a manifestation.
You are right that it wasn't ever said (to my knowledge) that someone's sword spirit could be away from their owners. I guess I just assumed it.

Zero, because Kubo was very clever in how he dealt with it.
Not only that, but he also hinted that the hollow was the true Zangetsu during episode in the shattered shaft, because when Ichigo was told to pull the sword out of the box in his inner world he wasn't able to in the manga. The inner world collapsed and he turned into hollow. Only then was he capable of reclaiming his powers.

I haven't read it in a while, can someone tell what happened with final Getsuga? Can he still use it, or is he now more powerful than he was when he fought Aizen?

Souken and his family originally came from the shadow realm. They, or at least he was exiled as a result of his pro-shinigami activities. Quilge mentioned something to that effect as well. So yeah, Souken was not really a jap at all.

I really fucking wonder how hard Kubo was laughing when he thought of this shit.

>>142472034
>I haven't read it in a while, can someone tell what happened with final Getsuga?
We don't know.

One theory is that Mugetsu was essentially a Quincy Letzt Stil, perhaps with some Hollow and/or Shinigami mixed in - just like Letzt Stil did with Ishida, it gave him a form with one wing-like part, granted him immense power, but caused him to lose all of his powers afterwards.

It's possible he might get a new, Vollstandig-esque Mugetsu form that is sustainable, just like Vollstandig is a sustainable version of Letzt Stil.

>is he now more powerful than he was when he fought Aizen?
It's not entirely clear. With his powers all unified now he very well might be at the transcendental level of power he was at post-Dangai training. It's also possible he has that potential again but is still working up to it.

It wouldn't surprise me if Ichigo's final forms were essentially the ones he fought Aizen with, only a bit different since he can now consciously control all of his powers. Meaning his fight with Aizen was essentially Bachgetsu letting him skip ahead in his evolution, but at a great cost.

>>142468794
>>142468707
Nope, this isn't even a proper melded form. Ichigo says that he can't control it very well. Knowing Ichigo, in the next coming chapters he'll gradually get better at it and then we'll finally get two horns.

Not even that. Aizen explained that he sent Rukia specifically because based on her psychological profile he expected her to want to commit suicide by sacrificing herself for an innocent family because she wanted to atone for her sin of killing Kaien.

Which is extra nasty considering that Aizen is directly responsible for what happened to Kaien in the first place.

>>142474993
So they lost 2500 Shinigami alone in the first invasion, which lasted five minutes. The second invasion lasted two whole days. It looks like outside the captains only a handfull are left. Haschwalth didn't lie when he said only a genocide will suffice. The Gotei as an organisation is probably defunct. There is no way they can still act as proper balancers or prevent Hollow attacks.

>>142471126
Not to mention it's only usable by Ise family women, who in turn are unable to make their own zanpakuto.

>he posted again

>>142475727
They have a number of hopeful recruits just waiting to be admitted into the 13 protection squads. Also considering that Ichigo has this special ability of bringing people together, I don't doubt that they'll be able to set up a makeshift force of arrancar, quincies and fullbringers to function as temporary balancers. Every shinigami exile and maggot's nest inmate will have to be pardoned as well.

>>142473759
It's interesting how the first arrancars following the temporal numeration were Grimmjow's pals. This would imply that Grimmjow was also the first to make it into the Espada group.

>>142475727
The Quincy also killed a lot of Hollows and basically invaded Hueco Mundo, so both sides were decimated. Mayuri had to murder thousands of Rukongai civilians to fix the balance.

I think after this war is over the Shinigami will have time to recuperate.

>>142475727
But you have to remember that before doing that, the Quincies also slaughtered a bunch of Hollows in Hueco Mundo.

>>142475927
The very first would be Yammy. Then came Shawlong and Grimmjow. Shawlong coming before Grimmjow, or Shawlong being born at all implies that the Hougyoku either fucked up, or Grimmjow didn't want to be alone deep down. Because Grimmjow killed and ate Shawlong and the rest. Considering that the Hougyoku screwed up on Yammy, this is probable.

>>142476039

>>142474862
It really doesn't matter if Gotei has 3000 or 6000 Soul Reapers.
Only about 20-30 of them is worth anything. The rest is expandable recruits, that only exists for the sake of having manpower, and for the sake of control Seireitei.

>>142475805
It's probably going to another 50 chapters before Kubo resolves this mystery.

>>142476035
My theory is that it begun as a Fullbring meaning that Orihime's extreme emotional attachment to the hairpin gave it life, but from there on it behaved like an Asauchi and thus developed a shinigami-like spirit and powerset.

This is of course based on the assumption that a construct such as what Nimaya designed can be created addidentally/naturally, which is not impossible considering that some of the royal guard members are probably older than the creation of the Asauchi and yet they still had zanpakutoes.

Maybe the first Zanpakutoes were born as Fullbringed swords for Shinigami who became closely emotionally attached to their swords.

I'm just making all this up, though, but it feels sound.

>>142476184
That's not true. Captains/Lieutenants have to wear a power limiter to even enter the real world without fucking everything up. The small fry like Zennouske are the ones protecting the humans from hollows and doing the Hollow-slaying duties in the real world.

They lost their single strongest shinigami and founder, a number of seated officers are in limbo and their entire military force is reduced to a fraction of what it once was. Their royal guard may turn traitor any moment too. Not to mention that the enemy succeeded in becoming god and the hopes and futures of the entire universe depend on one loosely affiliated figure most consider to be a myth, or a legend. Gotei has suffered immensely in this arc.

>>142476448
There is a good chance the Lieutenants won't have to wear the limiters, but its mostly there to give them a motivation to increase their power.

In fullbringers act it was stated that everything in real wolrd has some spirit phase to it and thats how can reishi afect real world things.

>>142476606
No, they have to. Renji even had to wear one when they first went to the real world to get Rukia back. This whole limiter thing was actually something that was addressed when Ichigo and Renji first fought in Soul Society. It was actually a KUBO moment when it was bought up later in the Arrancar invasions.

Someone is really fucking retarded. The balance of souls is what matters. This fucker pic related had to kill off thousands of spirits to offset the number of hallows who died in hueco mundo in the initial invasion.

We know that the living world, SS and HM are connected. Kubo has left out Hell. Fucking with the flow of souls puts all 3 in danger and Yhwach has said that he intends to reform the universe, so we can expect him deliver on that.

It's still a plot hole because the whole plan hinges on stuff he can't control or predict to a sufficient degree.

>>142476357
How does that explain sentience then? Also, why wouldn't the Fullbringers comment on it if it was a Fullbring. Wouldn't they have stolen it considering how insanely powerful it is?

All ohf his plans hinge on stuff like that, most of the time he just sets up scenarios that CAN have good outcomes and works with what he gets. The original goal was already to make Arrancars when he made the Vizards and when he made Metastica (the hollow that killed Kaien). A lot of Aizen's plans fail, he just adapts the plan and uses the outcome in whatever way he can.

Just have orange hair. It's that easy.

>>142476928
That stuff was usually people's reactions to stimuli, which Aizen came to understand very well over time after observing things for so damn long.

He sent Rukia to Karakura town, her first experience in the real world in a district that was filled with people who had reiatsu so it saw a lot of Hollow action. Could he have predicted exactly that Rukia would be gravely injured and need to give up her powers? No but it also wasn't necessary and just sped along his plans. His first goal was the Hogyouku inside of Rukia, his next was consuming Ichigo, and then killing the Soul King.

For the first all he needed to do was find a way to break open Rukia's soul to extract the Hogyouku, which is why he not only sped along her execution through the use of Central 46, he forced the use of the Sokyoku so her soul would be obliterated entirely and leave the Hogyouku behind.

Aizen didn't 100% plan everything out but he's a quick thinker and has tons of back up plans. When Ichigo invaded SS, Aizen knew he only had one entrance and purposely told Gin to be there but not kill Ichigo. Which cast suspicion on Gin by all the other captains and made it super easy for him to work behind everyone's backs.

And oh so much more. He's a master manipulator and works well on his feet. His only problem in the end was that he couldn't account fully for Ichigo's combined strength because there's not a being in history that he could compare it to.

Reading the chapter for the third time, I just realized that Ichigo not only has a hollow hole, he also used Sonido to move away from Orihime's shield.

With Gran Rey Cero taking the spotlight, Hollow powers are back in full force and I fucking love it. Considering Cero Oscuras is exclusive to released Espada, I hope that becomes part of Ichigo's arsenal when he releases bankai.

If Kubo even finishes Bleach what will he do next?

Ichigo may contribute to that next chapter if the last panel is any indication. And if not Yhwach than probably Yhwach,

What are the odds that during the boss fight against Yhwach he'll turn into his younger bishie self for extra fujo points?

Actually, if the powerful fullbringers had more reiatsu, they would be broken as fuck in terms of raw power
I mean, they can control the "soul" of things (spirit particles) much like the quincies, and their special power can vary a lot between them, almost like shinigamis (can steal the powers, can stop time, can create pocket dimensions, can modify and change the past in people's mind, can get a lucky strike able to do a one-punch kill and so on).
It was just misussed. I hope that they show up soon.

Her hair and eye color are so much better in the manga.

I'm always so conflicted about whether to laugh at the ironic shit posting meme joke or to cry at the fact that there are people so young, stupid, and/or deluded as to think they're serious and take to parroting them because they're too dumb to think their own thoughts.

>Aizen literally states this after Ichigo comes out of the Dangai. "I gave you one last chance at transcendence" or something.

Not only that, he tells it to Tatsuki too. He knows Ichigo is probably training in the Dangai already.

I'm not sure I quite get what you guys mean with "line work", but if this has anything to do with how kubo uses thicker lines in his character art as opposed to his "cat scratches" from early Bleach, I'm all for that.

If you want a real laugh, the censored name of Old Man Zangetsu actually fits the letters of Yhwach.

>>142486313
Good to know that the size of words and not their meaning is where your brain draws the line on what it can handle. Also good to know that the word size your brain caps out at is 3rd grade vocab level.

>>142486502
>>142472433
He didn't he has him call himself zangetsu explicitly just not in that first encounter because he opted for the dramatic sentence completion. It was never well thought out, like most of Bleach. He just leaves plot holes to fill in later, and most times he doesn't fill them in well or tactfully. It nullifies the narrative function of previous scenes by rendering them meaningless in-world, and needlessly convoluted as redherrings from a mechanical perspective.

>>142487759
It's possible, they're already working on a new version of the current opening which should be updated to show Naruto vs Sasuke. There's also one more ED confirmed and ending the show next season will give the anime a run of 700 episodes which lines up with the manga.
I could be wrong of course, but it makes sense to end it like that.
