Reposting for potential discussion about Orihime.

1. Her development in this arc
2. Whether or not she is a Fullbringer
3. If she is a Fullbringer, why wasn't her power stolen?
4. Her faeries (they have sentience, they have their own hierarchy between them, and how they are able to travel far away from Orihime)
5. If not a fullbringer, what is she? Is she part of the SK? Is she just a normal human that was given incredibly strong Quincy artifacts?
6. What will she do in the fight now considering where she was left?

>>142774161

I find it comedic that he transorms into the likeness of the person he hates most.

Or should I add he's the person that hates Aizen the most.

Something about Orihime is particularly more attractive than she ever was in the whole story up till this point. I don't know what it is.

>>142781497
I'm waiting for Kubo to reveal what she really is, cause I don't need a headache.

I think it has to do with a few things. Orihime has always looked the best when she is determined. She has received the confidence of the person she loved most.
Plus, it helps that Kubo has been drawing her beautifully lately.
>>
>>142781741
I just wish that her powers was revealed during the Fullbring Arc. It would have been so easy if Orihime was a Fullbringer.
Now, it'd be a tad awkward to reveal where her powers come from / who her parents actually were.

That's hard to do. Orihime finally got some needed development the last few chapters and Rukia is probably going to stay the same. The last development she got was getting wet after her brother praised her.

She's with Renji so inherently any time she gets in the spotlight will be shared.

Rukia does have a really good counter to ZnT though and I can see Renji fending off whatever hellish zombies it unleashes to protect her.

I've been slinging that crackpot theory for literally a decade. If only the M7 forums were still alive i could even prove it.
>>
>>142793918
She looks like she wants Ichigo's meat though.
>>
>>142793941
Actually there's not really that many inconsistencies with Fullbringing as you'd think.

Chad's powers were always claimed to be more Hollow-like in nature than the rest of the group's. Which considering Fullbringers get their power from residual Hollow reiatsu passed onto them from birth, makes sense.
>>
>>142794058
They very clearly outline the fullbringer abilities. They're singular powers derived from the innate spirit within objects. None of the others take on their own living personas; none of the others have multiple abilities or techniques (save Chad, but he also doesn't quite fit); none of the others display the very particular structure Orihime's does where her items are actually each made up of multiple spirits.

On the other hand her powers have been directly compared to the visored where as Chad's were compared to arrancar's marking them as distinctly different from one another. Retroactively Chad being made a Fullbringer further distances Orihime from them at the same time. Her pins were also said to be not dissimilar to a zanpakutou with also removes them from Fullbringer abilities in a number of ways, again the notion of an independent spirit innate to the item released from a sealed form, etc... Where as the Fullbringer don't have a "sealed" form just the item's natural state, and the power is innate to the item's personal history rather than the person's inner traits, even though the two are partially connected.

Actually Giselle is the most well received of the five. And the one with all the fan art. Giselle has like five times as much as Candice and Meninas together.

On the subject of Orihime's powers and all that nonsense. I know this is missing the panels from the more general explanation about the hougyoku inside of rukia and both her and chad's powers retconning the one urahara gave initially.
>>
>>142797856
But One Piece is the best out of the three. There is no getting around that. The manga is a cultural phenomenon.

Bleach is far more of the average Reader because the anime (despite the continuity errors EVERYWHERE) racked in the most viewers on Toonami between 2006-2014.

Naruto is just there for the shit arguments about the annoying as all shit asspulls.
>>
>>142797877
As Nodt and Giselle were extremely memorable though.
>>
>>142797864
It didn't help that Thunder Thighs was killed off quickly and Meninas is doing who knows what. But yeah, she's easily the most popular.
Kubo himself was surprised about the popularity of Giselle.
>>
>>142797877
As Nodt and Giselle were extremely memorable though. As Nodt didn't have that much personality though.

So what are the chances of Matsumoto and Hitsuyaga getting together?

Thanks for this, anon. I love Loly calling her a monster. Maybe one day we'll finally get a proper explanation.
>>
>>142798097
She is the one who got the cover and unlike many other has a decent chance to be still alive.
>>
>>142797959
Orihime's power could do that. EXCEPT she doesn't have the spiritual pressure to preform such abilites.

Remember, when she tries to bring back Ichigo when Ulquiorra's blast, she can't bring back Ichigo. Ichigo's True Zangetsu (Inner Hollow) brought him back. Just like Ichibie did with his "Name Power"

>>142798058
>Art
I said Bleach had the best art.

>Characters
Kubo tends to make a bunch of cannon fodder one off enemies the same time he makes memorable ones.

One Piece just does it better.

>Story
Yeah, Fake Karakura Town War and Fullbring were the weak points of that story.

One Piece has a few weak areas but not 1/3rd of it's story is

>>142798153
>Most intelligent

Yes and no. Yes, because Oda has such a good way of keeping continuity and remembering stuff better than Kubo. No because Oda is more about having fun on the journey

So given what we know now, you think Shunsui and Ukitake could have taken Yamamoto if they weren't interrupted by Aizen's betrayal?
>>
>>142776998
Well shunsui did say that in 100 years ice boy will be stronger than him.
>>
>>142797959
Yhwach gave another explaination that more or less combines Urahara's and Aizen's. And if that turns out to be right we have the origins of Orihime's powers and what Orihime is.
>>
>>142798208
I always believed that Orihime was going to heal them on the way up to the palace. Who knows what will happen now.
>>
>>142798228
Probably not. If Unohana stepped in and helped with Ukitake and Shunsui, then yes.

>Orihime's power could do that. EXCEPT she doesn't have the spiritual pressure to preform such abilites.
How do you know that? The only reason she was unable to bring back Ichigo was because of how completely mindfucked she was. Later on in the series she has healed people that have much higher reiatsu than her.

On a related note, it's interesting that she was noted to have high spiritual pressure by that one arrancar.
>>
>>142798329
Sometimes a special Quincy with no powers is born, who has the ability to empower others and lend parts of his soul to give them abilities.

Ichigo is most likely a special Quincy, while the Hogyoku seems to work like a combination of the Miracle, who is probably the heart of the Soul King, and the special Quincy. This begs the question how Urahara and Aizen got the idea in the first place.

SHE'S NOWHERE NEAR AS STRONG AS A CAPTAIN RANK SOUL REAPER THAT'S WHY.

Hell, she's not even lieutenant rank strong. She could be about 5th seat at best, but she's not anywhere at a normal Sou Reaper's level

Those people she's 'healing' are people that were weakened in battle. Their spiritual pressure is lower because they are hurt. Badly. Not dead, mind you, but hurt badly.

Why wouldn't Tatsuki get powers? Why wouldn't his sisters get a piece of his soul?
>>
>>142798374
Well I mean we know Ukitake's Shikai can not only absorb/reflect incoming attacks but can manipulate them as well. To what extent, I don't know, but since all Bankais just expand on the power of the Shikai, I believe you could assume Ukitake is capable of mitigating a lot of the one hit kill factors from ZnT.

Where Shunsui's Bankai could very likely kill Yamamoto if it was able to gravely injure an immortal and invincible Quincy.

How is that not weakened? She literally had half her face blasted and half her body blasted.

How is that not the same as what Mayuri did in the Soul Society Arc to get away from Uryu when he got gut blasted with the Quincy arrow?
>>
>>142798615
Same reason they didn't get anything from the Hogyoku. And most likely Ichigo only started doing it after getting Shinigami powers and coming in contact with the Hogyoku. He may have done it accidently.
>>
>>142798739
Wait, you think Menoly is still alive in this panel?
>>
>>142798587
She held back a Soul King's attacks. You can damage control as much as you want, but that is something.
>>
>>142798767
Way too sketchy for my liking.

On a related note, if Orihime or Chad died, would that mean he would get their powers? He'd be unstoppable with Orihime's rejection powers.
>>
>>142798739
>How is that not the same as what Mayuri did in the Soul Society Arc to get away from Uryu when he got gut blasted with the Quincy arrow?
Hollow girl didn't have the foresight to install a "turn your body into liquid in case of critical damage" function into her body.
>>
>>142798799
Her shield held back a Soul King's attack. Her Rejection powers are not her Shield.

Nobody is arguing her shield ability. We are arguing her Rejection powers.

>>142798909
>>142798774

We see the Cero hit, but we don't see the full result of her damage with Grimmjow. We saw it with Luppi, but not with that one chick. Face it, her powers aren't THAT strong.
>>
>>142798972
What the fuck are you talking about? We see the the damage in the picture just posted. Menoly is in pieces, there is absolutely no way she is alive.

Now you're moving the goalposts. Orihime has certainly improved, and whatever ability she uses is part of her ability. Before, she couldn't even hold back against Yammy's attacks, now she's holding back the soul king's.

Leave him be

Orihime has enough spiritual preassure to heal Ichigo and repel The current SK's attacks + Her resolve to protect Ichigo is at her strongest right now, so the effects are stronger because they are based on her mind set
In bases of these, I can assume that she definitely has a Captain's spiritual preassure, not the strongest captain like Shunsui or Yamamoto, but a captain.
She's not for The offensive but Defensive and Healing corps, maybe if she dies and somehow ends up in the SS, she could be Captain of the 3th squad, in time ofc

Ichigo's bankai has young Zangetsu outfit. The full coat with the hood. along with greaves and gauntlets. The markings and horn are gone instead it's just the whites of his eyes that are black. His sword is the one from when he was last in his inner world. It looks like Yhwach's sword but black and with a short chain attached.
Yhwach can't react because Ichigo moves too fast. He can predict the attacks and guard just in time but he's being pushed. He attacks Ichigo with his black robe. Ichigo catches Yhwach's black stuff rips it apart and absorbs it.

He initially had one zanpakuto spirit, Ohana. When the time came for him to hide Ise sword, Ohana created from herself another spirit. My guess is Kyoraku used his connections to acquire the shorter sword at that point, so he can place the ninja spirit into it.

>>142797296

Yhwach saps the power of all the Sternritter and gives it to the Elite Four then fucks off to fight the top Royal Guard, Ichibe, who he trounces after a turn-based game of bullshit powers.

All RGs get fucked by one Sternritter and Yhwach takes over the Royal Realm. Using a cannon Urahara shoots the invading SS squad up to the Royal Realm, because muh callbacks or whatever.

Ichigo and crew make it to the palace as Yhwach stabs the Soul King. Ichigo runs to pull the sword out and against his will his body reacts and slices the Soul King in half. Orihime tries to heal him but it doesn't work.

Yhwach pulls an Aizen and says he's been planning Ichigo's life out for this moment then boots his ass out of the palace and starts absorbing the right arm of the Soul King.

Hi-jinks ensue as the rest of the captains make their way up to the palace and square off against the Elite Quincy and Nel/Grimmjow/Riruka show up to help Ichigo get back to where Yhwach is.

Eventually 3 of the Elite Four are taken down by such bullshit as exploding Nemus, magical god-sealing swords, and Grimmjow ripping a guy's heart out. And the last of them is literally Yammy 2.0 who gets stronger the more damage he takes. So he won't go down for a while yet.

Ichigo and Orihime arrived at the palace again and are fighting Yhwach. Chad and Ganju are fighting statues. And Ishida is fighting Haschwalth who saw through his betrayal with a nightly power trade.

And the most recent developments have been Ichigo using his Hollow powers, horn and all, to fight and now using Bankai to combat the horseshit that is the Almighty.

That's about it. If you want the details like Shunsui's Bankai, Kenpachi's Bankai, Hitsugaya's new Bankai, Urahara's Bankai, Aizen's return and other such developments I suggest you read. They're Bleach chapters so they go by quick.

She had her entire upperblody blasted, and we'd seen what happened when Grimmjow did the same thing to Luppi,who was stronger than Menoly, and we Loly commented on how she's like a monster. There'd be nothing monstrous about healing a few wounds, even Unohana and Mayuri could patch people back together from when should rightly be mortal wounds. What made Orihime montrous was that she could just pull Menoly back from nothing, from a pile of ash.

I'm re reading the manga right now after watching a few anime episodes... Why did they put so much more extra Ichigo/Rukia interactions? It's clear that the anime studio were ichirukifags.

Well theres nemu. mayrui flipped his shit when he saw that he had created a soul capable of evolution. i think this is because mayuri himself doesnt (cant?) evolve - he sidesteps. modifies. he clearly hates urahara and goes to great lengths to make himself up (painting his face every day). his body is covered with stitches akin to the ones we have seen in uraharas bankai. he is obsessed with surpassing kisuke. his theme is children so it would make sense that he was someones child himself. (also note pic related). he was pictured in >>142834166
as baphomet which represents universal duality - male/female etc. Also the expression we saw on his face when ichigo called him 'uarahara's protegee' could be a dead giveaway
>>
>>142834018
Mayuri is older than Urahara. He was there 1000 years ago, since he knew about Yhwach and about worked with/under Shuutara, who herself once met Yhwach.

>>142834166
Kubo seems to envision as Baphometh. Baphometh is a hermaphrodith and a symbol of the left-hand path. His opponents in the Quincy war were gender ambigious Giselle and the left arm Pernida.

>>
>>142834740
Urahara's Bankai is his own. It fits him perfectly. His Bankai allows him to take apart reality and reshape into his own image. It's the perfect Bankai who wants to create a world without fate and gave a speech about destroying and recreating the world with his own hands.

And again. Mayuri was there 1000 years ago because he knew Yhwach and he worked under Shuutara when she was in the Seretei. And she was there 1000 years ago because she already met Yhwach once.

>>142837621
She never thinks about him or anything that happened in HM. I find it a bit ridiculous, honestly. All of this alluding to being 'changed' inside by both Ulquiorra and even Grimmjow, that meaningful last scene with Ulquiorra, then she never even spares any of it another thought ever again. What a joke.

It's hard, because we don't really see Orihime alone when not involved with Ichigo. It would be fascinating to see what she actually thought about post HM arc. It really is a shame we haven't focused on them.
Who knows what she does when she's alone. She could talk to her faeries or lament about the past. Plus, it's hard to think about Ulquiorra when he did try to kill Ichigo a few times.

I would like at least one chapter dedicated to her reflecting on how she's changed, and the events that happened there and since then. You have a good idea.

>>142837950
>choosing Ulquiorra over Ichigo
That's not going to happen outright, never. I think they make the best pairing for her, but it would need to be done in such a way that he spends enough time with her first, and she comes to terms with Ichigo never returning her feelings. Kubo is never going to do this, but if he ever managed to return somehow, there could be romantic tension. There sure was enough of it during HM.

She's alone right now, maybe some new enemy comes and she's forced to summon him to save herself. She has all the defensive powers in the world, just no adequate offensive power.
Who knows who the enemy would be, it's hard to find people for the good guys to fight. Plus, she'd probably be saved by either Renji/Rukia or Isshin/Ryuken.
>>
>>142838069
>I would like at least one chapter dedicated to her reflecting on how she's changed, and the events that happened there and since then
If we were still in the Fullbring arc, I think there might have been a decent chance, especially when she was talking to Riruka about her parents/brother.
Unless Orihime invokes some magical Soul King power or does indeed summon Ulquiorra, I really doubt we'll ever focus on her. Or, if Kubo wants to be cruel, he could have her reflect on her whole life as she slowly dies. It would make me so sad though if this happens though
>>
Still no fake spoilers. The nips hate us these days.
>>
>>142837694
The last scene with Ulquiorra is literally the last we see of her until Aizen goes down. And after that is the timeskip to the Fullbring arc. There's not a whole lot of time for her to reflect on what happened and considering that the story isn't told from her perspective we don't get much of her inside thoughts or feelings.

It was nice that Kubo even bothered to show her flinch when Ichigo's Hollow horn came out and the recognition that that event had freaked her out.

I mean, she really was completely mindfucked at that point in the story. It'd be a tad unrealistic if she was completely okay with the transformation. With that said, I really did like the panel two chapters ago.

Her reacting to the similarity of the form Ichigo took on during that fight was really satisfying. I wonder if will give the story the leverage it needs to revisit that battle in the next few chapters?

It's hard to tell, especially considering where Orihime is. We don't really know if Orihime is close to Ichigo, we also don't know if she'll run back to the fight.
I hope she does, but who knows. It's already a little odd that Kubo is giving Orihime all this panel time, I have no idea where it's going to go.

That'd be great, but it depends on which.

If it's more Masaki, that'd be nice albeit a bit pointless because of the 5 chapters we had for that.
But, if it's Yamamoto & Yhwach from 1000+ years ago, that's be awesome. Kubo really needs to clear a few things about their relationship and how things went.

I don't think that would happen exactly like that, but I think it would happen with a slightly different approach. I mean, you gotta present the comming back of Ulquiorra in a different way and remember the people that he and Orihime have a deep trascending story together.

Ulquiorra is the dragon and Orihime is the princess. The princess is the only one who can reach the dragon and she wants to be with him.

Those things have been shown already enbough times, I think Kubo has simply forgot about it. Truly a shame, Ulquiorra and Orihime need to be together.

Pretty sure that Tatsuki is meant to be the dragon. Not to mention that Ulquiorra tried his best to break Orihime in every possible and suceeded. It would also ruin his perfect death scene.

In the end chapter you see that everything is only fruit of imagination as little Ichigo wants to escape from the fact that his mother recently died.

Tatsuki is not the dragon, she's just a physically strong character for being a human woman who has been by Orihime and Ichigo side and is friends with both. That's about it. She's besties with Orihime but there's no 'dragon' in her.

Ulquiorra is the dragon, he's the despair and tragedy, the torture and hell-living. His death was to show that, the esence of his existence. He's the most obvious dragon-character you can find in the whole series, his whole back story is about showing his hell and suffering of existence, yet Orihime was able to reach to him and make him move forward in another direction away from that hell. They need to be together. She was able to help him evolve and go beyond that suffering.

Only Orihime's purity and unconditional love can reach the dragon -> Ulquiorra.

I agree his death scene was incredible and very well shown. It was also perfect because it showed amazingly well his tragedy

Tatsuki has never done anything that says or implies she's a dragon, that would be an asspull, or Kubo simply making an easy popular comparision, or Kubo using a fancy title.
It's very common to use a dragon as a symbol of strenght and inner wild power.

I'd say that everybody has heard a story about a Princess, a Dragon, a Knight and a Spear. And about how that ends. But almost noone knows what those really stand for and simply go with a superficial mainstream and in most cases misguided interpretation.

I know that saying 'UlquiHime' is fan thing, but their characters are really meant to be together to progress and evolve. It's more than a ship, or two characters that may look cool together, or a popular 'rapey relationship lulz'.

But on the other hand, Kubo probably isn't thinking about this. He has most likely forgotten about Ulquiorra and Orihime and their relationship and now is focussing of other stuff.

A shame.

I'm guessing this is an assumption, or do you have proof of the contrary? It wouldn't really matter to the point, if you keep reading my post you'll see why.

>>142856297
I'm talking about the true deep relationship between the symbolism of 'the dragon' and 'the princess'.
In the image that you posted you can clearly see that the naming is used as a catchy title, without having a deeper meaning.

>Muh dangerous dragon and princess in distress.
>'Majestic'
That is a b8. A good one though.

In the relathionship between Tatsuki and Orihime, Orihime is the delicate, virginal, naive, sweet, weak and defenseless princess everyone has in mind, meanwhile Tatsuki is the strong character who has a strong will and 'explosiveness'. See martial arts.

Those are the mainstrean and silly interpretations of dragon and princess.

>>142856377
Also yeah, I'm aware of their names. I'm more inclined to believe that in the beginning Kubo created Tatsuki/Orihime with that mainstream -but misguided- perception of princess and dragon and that lately, he created a character -Ulquiorra- who is the actual more truthful representation of 'a dragon'. And Orihime, perhaps from the beginning or perhaps as an evolution, showed more purity, more unconditional love, her personal strenght showed everytime she stayed true to her feelings and didn't give up on the people she loved, and less weaknesses.
We can argue about her going to HM.


Now, Kubo creating those two characters representing the dragon (destruction, pain, hell, torture, suffering...)Ulquiorra and the princess (purity, unconditional love, personal inner strenght...)Orihime could be by accident -the story developed itself like that and he isn't aware of the true meaning of dragon/princess- OR could be on purpose -he knows and he decided to show that kind of relationship in his manga-.

You do know that there is a nine days prophecy, right? So far only two days are over and once the Ichigo vs Yhwach fight is over, there will be some quite period so that Ichigo can train and interact with the others. There are probably four or five days until the fighting starts again.
>>
>>142857775
See the issue I have with shipping is that it not only misconstrues the basic interpretations and symbolism of characters but also falsely applies outside parallels for the sake of their ship.

Dragons traditionally are representations of calamity, destruction, anger/envy/greed, and heresy.

Ulquiorra's entire persona is based around his aspect of death, which is emptiness/nihilism. He bears a personal grudge through the Arrancar arc against Ichigo and Orihime because he can't comprehend their feelings or thoughts. To him life is pointless and to see someone continually grasp onto hope/confidence/determination in the face of defeat makes no sense. This is what the whole Heart speech was about.

Ulquiorra wasn't an emotional character, he didn't believe in needless destruction, he didn't act out of rage, he wasn't envious of humans or their feelings. He merely acted upon instruction and tried to mentally break those he couldn't comprehend. He's not tortured, he's empty.

In fact the character in the series that comes closest to the dragon symbolism is Grimmjow. He's the perfect personification and his aspect of death is literally destruction. And Grimmjow was purposely designed as a foil to Ulquiorra.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that mentioning Ulquiorra turned into all of this speculation and discussion. I'm happy, but surprised. I usually turn up in these threads occasionally to post about him then fuck off for a while, but there definitely weren't as many people here in 2014 that gave a shit about him. It kind of gives me hope a little bit, honestly. I think Kubo is a hack writer and Bleach doesn't even rank anywhere in the realm of being good, but the characters have always meant something to me, for some reason, and out of all of them Ulquiorra has always meant the most. I'm not sure if I can just chalk it up to personal preference or not, but something about his character is special. Is it the way Kubo managed to take what should have been a cardboard flat character and - perhaps unintentionally - gave them so much depth and purpose? Is it those fucking eyes? Who knows, really. He died so long ago, but he still seems to have a very dedicated, if small, sect of people who care about him so much. It's kind of weird to think about, isn't it?
>>
>>142858495
I'm not falsely applying, I'm arguing why Ulquiorra and Orihime should be together based on what a dragon represents in this Dragon/Princess/Knight/Spear

>Dragons traditionally are representations of calamity, destruction, anger/envy/greed, and heresy.
That's one representation though, and saying that it is 'traditionally' leads to wrong assumptions. I do agree saying that it is one of the most spreaded.

Ulquiorra was tortured in his inside although it wasn't the typical 'I hate myself' way of torture. Neither a child's trauma. The pain was there. He attacked and tried to destroy other people but he didn't say his reasons so we speculate about them. But to be fair right now I don't remember if he actually said it or not so I'll check the manga to be sure because maybe I'm wrong about that and he said why, if you remember that part better and can post it -if it happened- then great.

Grimmjow wasn't tortured, wasn't suffering, wasn't in hell. Grimmjow desired power and desired to become a King, in other words you could say that he wanted to be important, to be strong and to be remembered. He also enjoyed and loved fighting, which is arguably a way of destruction and I agree with that. But that doesn't make him to represent a dragon.


Makes me think about Nnoitra, someone so weak inside that needed to be the strongest outside.


ps, you said that Ulquiorra was empty as if that was a neutral thing.
Being empty is not the lack of feelings, that is being a psychopath -kinda-, and Ulquiorra wasn't that.

Well, Orihime brought Grimmjow's arm without needing anything so she could bring Ulquiorra back to life using the same technique.

It could be her, or Kubo doing some Kuboing or something different. Possibilities are, although I doubt that Kubo has been thinking about Ulquiorra again at all.
>>
>>142859383
Maybe her six fairy technique brings people back from the dead, wherever they are. The only reason I have any hope of Ulquiorra coming back is because of Orihime's increased panel time in the last few chapters.
>>
>>142857442
Of course it didn't change. He's been fighting with one sword for almost 3 years, one week of training with two won't suddenly make him Kirito. It's a defensive blade that can also be used to fire Getsugas. It fits him nicely.

>>142772663
I haven't been keeping up with Bleach lately, the fuck happened to Hitsugaya, why does he look like Ichigo
>>
>>142859228
If I might interject, I don't think that Ulquiorra ever stated a reason for wanting to break down others. He's never shown overt violence ala Grimmjow, the need for bloodshed for its own sake was never his motive or desire. If I might analyze the situation a bit, I'd suppose Ulquiorra's actions were a reflection of himself, the nihilism of his character. As Orihime was his charge, there was an effort to integrate her into his society, as evidenced by his claims that she had become 'one of them'. His harassment, as you might call it, was an effort to topple something he didn't understand or consider necessary, human emotions. There wasn't so much an outstanding reason. He showed curiousity toward understanding, but since it was not a tangible thing he could scrutinize, he dismissed it as a phenomenon he was capable of experiencing. He was trying to break Orihime so that she could be more like him, but instead she made him more human. I believe his aggression toward Ichigo resulted from Ichigo's efforts to get in the way of his progress, he only recognized him as a danger as soon as Orihime was in serious danger of being taken from him. If you review the scenes, you'll notice he always keeps an eye on her, even when he seemingly allows Loly and Yammy to come in and terrorize her. He didn't consider them threats, but Ichigo was.
>>
>>142845416
No, he had something to say about Ichigo's true power only coming out during bankai.
And I got help from a guy in my group. Apparently おんし (onshi) is meant to be おぬし (onushi) or 御主 which is an archaic form for 'you'.

From what I can gather, Yhwach embedded a fragment of his soul inside Ichigo in order to seal his power. He is fearful of the real power of Ichigo's bankai. Ichibe says that the moment he (Ichigo) releases his true power will be the moment to strike down Yhwach.
>>
>>142859658
Typical Kubo bullshit. The petals on his Bankai apparently were not a countdown until it faded away but instead was a countdown until it evolved. So once the petals faded he became an adult for whatever period of time with the ability to freeze anything absolutely, even energy.
>>
>>142860013
I would hope that the spoilers aren't true, especially since this obviously isn't the final confrontation.
>>
>>142860391
If OMZ is a fragment of Yhwach it sure as hell isn't. Because this implies that Ichigo's powers will be taken from him again. But if he's been using Yhwach's power for most of the series then his own quincy power should still be dormant, since he's a mixed blood. Perhaps this is what Yhwach meant with Ichigo's power awakening too soon. Two conflicting sets of quincy powers, one only recently awakened and another meant to pull the strings on Ichigo like a puppet.
I'd like to see OMZ put up some sort of resistance if he is indeed Yhwach. He would do that for Ichigo. Though that begs the question, when did Yhwach put such a large piece of his soul inside Ichigo? When Masaki died? I'd like to know how Ichigo survived his encounter with Grande Fisher.

Ulquiorra only attacked people on order from Aizen. He always had that whole debate thing going on during fights because every fight in Bleach is a clash of ideals.

He attacked the Shinigami protecting Orihime in the Dangai so there wouldn't be any witnesses, as ordered by Aizen.

He attacked Ichigo the first time because he was getting close to Orihime, whom he was ordered to watch over. Which is also why he attacked Grimmjow when she was taken away.

And then he was ordered to protect Las Noches and Ichigo was the only threat remaining in Hueco Mundo that he saw.

He did not move without orders. He didn't have any personal motivation or feelings like the other Espada did. He was entirely devoid of anything beyond servitude to Aizen.

Apathy isn't psychopathy. He only developed an interest in Ichigo/Orihime because he had been ordered to deal with them and even at that the interest was purely academic until the very end where he began to change.

I mean there's a whole heap of hindu symbolism in Bleach and we could go into how that relates to Ulquiorra but the end result is all the same. He wasn't a tortured character, he wasn't in pain. He didn't feel anything, he just couldn't comprehend how or why these two people acted and reacted to stimuli.

Ichigo needs all the help he can get because Yhwach is a god. This is also why Renji and Rukia will be joining in a hundred chapters or so and god knows when Isshin/Ryuuken will be arriving.

I think Orihime is the only character where Kubo really fucked himself over, he overpowerd her so much in Mexico arc, so he doesn't know what the fuck to do with her now, so he conveniently leaves her out of every battle, and when she somehow ends up in the battle he nerfs her powers.

The only reason why she has been useful is because Yhwach has let her.

The War 5 are just a group of individuals who possess abilities that may pose a risk to Yhwach's plans. Ichigo is ranked highest because he's the biggest risk. Nothing has been said about why Ichigo is the son "born in darkness" yet.

It doesn't matter where she puts her shield. Yhwach already knows where to put his traps and he can always circle around it. And standing still won't help, as Yhwach demonstrated last week. The only reason why she's still alive is because he doesn't see a reason to kill her.

You've made some good points but others are completely up for debate.

It's not like Ulquiorra didn't attack people if Aizen didn't order it, it's more like he's not in for losing time with silly competitions of who's stronger than who and he's also good at was he has been commanded to do. He uses his brain, although one could say that he underestimated Ichigo a couple of times.

Every fight in Bleach is not a clash of ideals, there may be a few fights that are actually a clash of ideals but the biggest majority are: member of team A vs member of team B; and in some of those fights Kubo throws some ideals of philosophical questions which in most cases ended with 'the strongest one is right, the loser is wrong'.

You say that the first time Ulquiorra attacked Ichigo was when he made his hole in Ichigo's chest and that he did so because he was getting closer to Orihime, but that's not right. The first confrontation between Ulquiorra and Ichigo was in the human world when he and Yammy arrived, then he noticed Orihime's powers and Ichigo's fluctuating reiatsu, he stated that Ichigo had to be or was the human they were looking for and left with Yammy thinking that Ichigo was going to die.
Then he saw him alive in Hueco Mundo, running around after fighting and winning against other arrancars and looking for Orihime. Ulquiorra made a hole in his chest and left him to die again -another understimation-. Grimmjow said that Ulquiorra did that hole when he encountered someone that catched his attention, which implies that a) it's not the first time and there have been more before Ichigo, b) Ulquiorra has a personal interest of some kind, unrelated to any of Aizen's orders; point a) also implies that Ulquiorra does feel and has personal interests that show from time to time.

Also, he didn't fight Grimmjow because he was a threat to Orihime, Grimmjow wasn't that stupid and both of them knew it. He attacked him because he was making Orihime save the life of the guy he had previously fought. Grimmjow was saving the life of an enemy he personally had deal with.

When Ulquiorra was ordered to protect Las Noches, Ichigo wasn't the only threat remaining. And I don't think you're assuming he didn't know or could not feel that there were at least three healthy and alive Shinigami captains in his very headquarters plus at five Espadas either dead or almost dead and other arrancars dead and/or injured. If all of those things are not a threat and you assume that Ulquiorra didn't know about them you're calling him a retard.

He fought Ichigo for personal reasons, not under Aizen's orders. Or maybe a mix of both, but there were definitely personal reasons going on. His personal reasons, he wasn't a robot and he had more than just servitude to Aizen.

He was deeply lonely and felt hollow, his existence was so terrible he didn't even know how to move forward. Until thanks to interaction with Orihime he began to, thanks to her he was able to see other motivations in his life and could make few steps in a different direction. Then he died, and when he says -something along the lines of- 'not even when I'm dying you're doing what I want' he's making a statement that he wants things but he has never been able to get them or achieve them or have them. That his wishes were never fulfilled and whatnot, you can elaborate from that.


We have a different view on their relationship and on their characters but I think that you can make good points, and I'd like to hear how would you relate hinduism to Ulquiorra, if you don't mind.

I think Juha Bach avoids killing her because his Almighty possibilities and all of them has him being killed by Ichigo without a doubt.

Actually pretty much every fight in Bleach has some clash of ideals. At least before the current arc which tossed that away. They're not always as profound as Ichigo's fights but they're still there.

And every single character in Bleach has an awful habit of leaving characters "near death" as opposed to outright killing them. I wouldn't read too much into Ulquiorra leaving Ichigo near death in their first encounter, which they didn't actually fight.

Yes Ulquiorra has an interest in Ichigo and Orihime. You can hold interests without emotional investment. However he was undoubtedly loyal to Aizen. If Aizen had ordered him to hunt down and slaughter every Shinigami that set foot in Hueco Mundo, he'd do it without hesitating. Ichigo/Hime were curiosities and nothing more until the time of his death.

He did fight Grimmjow because of Orihime and only that. He didn't care that Ichigo was revived, he asked why but said nothing more of it.

And then when he broke out of the negacion he purposely sat there with Orihime to draw in Ichigo. Ichigo was the only viable threat in Hueco Mundo at that point, because not only were the other Captains injured or busy, but they were miniscule threats compared to Ichigo who's reiatsu spiked far above his own in a time of turmoil. But not just that, it ties into the clash of ideals. Ichigo is a character who fights regardless of the odds and to protect others. This is unfathomable to Ulquiorra. Not only does he not see the point in fighting an opponent who's strength is much greater than your own, he doesn't see how you can fight to protect others with such mediocre abilities.

But the bottom line in all of it was that it was all in line with Aizen's orders. He was ordered to survey the human world and measure Ichigo's growth, he did that. He was ordered to capture Orihime and watch over her and the palace in Hueco Mundo. He did that. And lastly he was ordered to protect Las Noches above all else. He did that.

Hold on.

Look at all the Espadas' reasons for joining Aizen. Aaroniero did it to sate his hunger, Szayel did it for knowledge, Grimmjow did it to fight stronger opponents, Nnoitra did it so there would be no one above him, Harribel did it to protect her followers, Barragan did it to stir up the stagnancy of his reign, and Starrk did it for friendship. Zommari was such a non-character I can't even guess his reasons. But that leaves Ulquiorra, who joined Aizen to gain a purpose.

That's why he was more devout than the other Espada, why he was Aizen's right hand man, and why he followed orders and did not much else.

And honestly in the end I don't think it was Orihime that cracked his shell. It was probably more Ichigo that opened him up after Orihime began to stir up his ideals.

Yes he was an intelligent character and he understood a lot more than he let on. But he was purely logical, emotions were not a factor in any of what he did. But whatever this is beating a dead horse.

The most prominent example of hindu ideology, in regards to Ulquiorra, has to do with his Hollow hole. Which is right on the Heart chakra. The Heart Chakra is responsible for compassion, empathy, and love. Which is missing entirely from Ulquiorra both literally and figuratively. Compare this to Grimmjow, who's hollow hole is on his lower abdominal chakra which relates to passion, feelings, and sexual urges. And when depleted or out of balance it causes things like rage, insecurity, obsession, fear.

Ulquiorra is missing his heart and because of that he is incapable of empathizing with Ichigo and Orihime, which makes them interesting to him because they are an anomaly. He doesn't have any personal feelings towards them and can't relate until the time of his death where either through crossing blades with Ichigo, attaining some humanity as he fades, or just understanding Orihime's feelings. Probably a mix of all 3.

You may be right, there're things I see with a different light but you may be more right.

Hmm, what you say makes sense. I'm familiar with the chakras but I didn't know what approach would you make towards Ulquiorra. Because his hole at first was in his throat and then changed locations to his chest. But I can't talk about that right now.

I should go to sleep, I gotta get up in 5h to work but anyhow, it was an interesting talk and I enjoyed it, thanks for that.

Did anyone save that tweet where Kubo says that he had drawn an older looking Ichigo that he deleted?

When Harribel was cut down by Aizen, was she dead before being healed?
>>
>>142772663
Does anyone besides fujoshits even read this still?
>>
>>142867467
Probably not. Aizen never cut people with the intention of killing them, no idea why. I mean seriously, at the end of it all the only people Aizen actually killed with his own hand were Tousen and Gin, his supposedly most loyal followers.

Fuck off.

Everyone else has updated spoilers but us. What a time to be alive.

Aaroniero joined Aizen because he hoped that he would erase his pain. At least one half did. Zommari wanted more Hollow rights and he was rather drunk with Aizen's power. Out of the Espada Zommari was the most devoted one. He was more or less a fanatic. His behavior wouldn't be that out of place within the Wandenreich, which consists of quite a few fanatics like Lille, Quilge or Mask de Masculine.

No I'm not implying, I am saying. No one has spoiler pictures and besides it's too early for leaks.

You mean the spoilers about Hisoka losing his head?

>>142870322
No, those spoilers were posted on like Sunday or some shit. They had legitimate spoilers Tuesday night.

>>142870358
We had legit spoilers Wednesday night and even so the ones that are out have been posted here. So the statement
>Everyone else has updated spoilers but us
Is false.

>>142870443
Way ahead of you. Already posted.

>>142871619
So then you'd know that every other series already got new spoilers.
>>
>>142871751
I don't normally bother with the other series, but I know that both Netabare and OPN will randomly bump them to the top. Same for Bleach. The bleach spoilers on netabare are more than 24 h old and have been bumped twice. It's the same shit, anon.
