I still think Old Man zangetsu still inhabits Ichigo even if quincy and hollow were both ripped away. when hollow was being ripped, we see his mom and not old man zangetsu. that's a clue i think. I think old man zangetsu was in actuality Ichigo's shinigami power all along and he used his mom's part, the quincy and the hollow as step in swords. Ichigo believed them to be his true powers therefore his mind and will believed this, and seeing as how he merged his blade accordingly believing old man zangetsu and the hollow to be a part of his power, old man Juha Bach post absorbing Mimi Hagi sama and the soul king, would see all probable futures of this and he probably sees as Ichigo thought, which is his inner self is indeed a par of the quincy, when in actuality its not, it's his shinigami. I could be wrong though but that's my feeling.

Ichigo definitely still has his Shinigami powers but I think the Quincy/Hollow powers being taken away were done for a reason. If OMZ is to be believed then he was the avatar of Ichigo's Quincy powers and was suppressing his real Shinigami powers. So this might be the first time we see his REAL shinigami powers.

He showed up with Isshin at the end of the chapter where Rukia and Renji headed for Ichigo. So he should arrive at his destination very soon, whether it is the throne room with Ichigo or at the battlefield of his son.

No, you twits. Bleach was good through Soul Society and even in the Arrancar arc through the Grimmjow fight. At that point it ran out of steam, and the revelation that Orihime was merely bait and the horribly long and pointless fake Karakura battles between Fracciones and vice captain levels was where it went to shit, with the Turn Back the Pendulum arc being a slight bright spot.

24 chapters minimum. Four chapters remaining in the current volume and 20 chapters for the next two volumes, if the covers are Orihime, Rukia, and Ichigo as expected.

If Chad gets a cover too there will be at least 35 chapter left.

>>143618811
>Bleach was good through Soul Society and even in the Arrancar arc through the Grimmjow fight.
SS arc was shit and the Arrancar arc was decent for it's run then everything went to shit and stayed shit when it went to the Hueco Mundo arc.
>>
>>143618960
The Hueco Mundo arc did some interesting things at its start. Ishida and Chad finally got some fights, and Rukia had a major spotlight against Not!Kaien. It went to shit when the endless battles against Szayeloporro and Nnoitra started.

So have we reached the point that even if all the remaining war potentials teamed up, it's basically impossible to defeat Yhwach?

I don't know what could even work at this point. Maybe some Tessai, "I can only stop time for a few minutes" bullshit that will give them time to figure out how to save Uryu so they can use the Antithesis to stop him?

But what if his shinigami powers is really the old man. Bach wouldn't want his shinigami powers, but that quincy hollow mix is what he was really after. It's just something old man Zangetsu said of how he's ready to Let Ichigo take over and then he says goodbye. If old man zangetsu has all of Juha's memories then he knows the almighty power would easily see through and crush any potential future Ichigo can think of. Remember, Bach attacked not just Ichigo but also his I can do and the futures tied to those. Old man zangetsu would have known that Bach would have seen Ichigo's futures and see his quincy power as the main power in the mix between the quincy and hollow power. So he probably implied he was Ichigo's quincy power. Instead, when Juha absorbed those powers, Ichigo sees the hollow and his mother disappear, and not old man zangetsu.

He's never seen his mother inside his inner world so why does he see her disappear.
>>
>>143619705
He wasn't looking into his inner world there were just picture associations done by Kubo since it was White and Masaki shown well before he was born, then the fading image of his mother as a memory.
>>
>>143617795
Never unless kubo rebooted it.
>>
>>143620007
Perhaps, but his Quincy power was always the old man, or so we thought so for us, the viewers, Kubo would have shown the old man. Showing his mother disappearing means jack shit to all of us. Kubo would have known that. The only association his mother has to him beside her DNA is her quincy power that he had inside of him, which to him and us meant the old man. By not showing us the old man Kubo's saying what?

I think the old man was always his shinigami power using the power of the almighty, albeit a weaker form of it, controlling Ichigo's inner swords, the quincy, his mom, and the hollow, white zangetsu. the old man knows the almighty is unbeatable especially by ichigo, yet he gives him some pep talk about being satisfied? Just doesn't add up.

Since when was it said that she didn't have bankai?

Mostly what I was talking about was a bit of Q&A from the second databook where a lot of information is censored out for spoilers but knowing what we know now must say something like:

"Rangiku who was assistant captain at the time was a candidate to be promoted to captain but a lot of stuff happened and in the end it was Toshiro Hitsugaya as a third-seat that was promoted to captain." there's still a lot I don't fill confident in filling in but it does lead to the idea that she was on her way to be promoted but Hitsugaya may have impressed more with his potential and was picked instead.

Either Kubo didn't think when he wrote this arc (very likely, Kubo never thinks before drawing) or he hates his own characters.

Naruto was far better then the boring power up trash that is Bleach. All of the characters in bleach are either one dimensional or not interesting or varied enough to care about(chad and orihime are the worst at this) The battles consist of dull, powerup page spreads ping ponging a a few back and forth blows that end in a chapter. Never understood how anyone can read it. Not baiting either.

>To leave all of her friends in Hueco Mundo behind?

Seeing how her friends were all dead it seemed to be the best option, but apparently they were revealed not to be. She didn't need to be a main character, but something on the same tier that Rukia and Renji have both been in the later arcs.

All that screen time to build Nel as a character seemed to be a waste of time since it didn't develop on anything aside from giving Ichigo +1 friend. Something that he earned from others in half the episodes.

Not Anon, but you can't deny Bleach ping-ponging aspect in battles is bland and overused.

Also not to mention these battles seem to never be interrupted even when lots of battles are out in the open where anyone and anything can intervene. Naruto goes through the effort to avoid that by describing the setting of what each battle takes place in. A prime example of this is the Sasuke Retrieval arc.

It was obvious that Nel would stay in Hueco Mundo. It's much like how Grimmjow didn't come to be the next Ishida. It's unrealistic, anon.

Wrong. Both have been with Ichigo three times as longer than Nel and have developed a strong bond which has been shown throughout the entire series.

Sure there was a lot of bonding moments between her and Ichigo, but that only existed in 1/4th of the arc. Sure there could've been a human and hollow development throughout Ichigo's normal life, but it defeats the purpose of hollows.

In the end Nel is just the obligatory late-in-the-series loli character, like Wendy is for Fairy Tail.

His original Bankai was so simple yet so good looking, the recent Shikai look wasn't bad with the dual swords and the shoulder thing, but the Bankai sword was ugly and didn't even give him a coat.

Cause Yhwach's the one that'll be using it at its full power.
Watch it cut through time like Mugetsu.

Zanka no Tachi wouldn't come close beating Aizen or the Antithesis, if that's those are what comes down to be Yhwach's opponents.
And it's paltry compared to the Soul King's and Ichigo's powers he now has.
>>
>>143625877
It could always get powered-up by Yhwach hax just like the Black Coffin became much stronger when Aizen turned into butterfly.

Though I'm pretty sure Kubo forget about it at this point. It has been like 3 years?
>>
>>143623807
Yhwach and Ichibei was a pretty good ping pong fight.
If only cause it had the main antagonist getting his shit kicked in, and trying to defend himself with different measures, failing to do so each time, up until Ji Orumaiti.

But yeah no good fights since then, sadly, although there were a few good moments, like Pernida giving up on using his nerves and just shooting an arrow through Mayuri's bankai.

People who really loved early, SoL Bleach are probably the ones who enjoyed the Fullbringer arc. SS arc was pretty good by shounen standards but I was a little disappointed at the series going in that direction so the Fullbringer arc was a return to some of the things that made me fall in love with Bleach.

If you think the SS arc was the high point of the series, like a lot of people on /a/ and apparently the Nips, then Fullbringer was probably shit to you.

>She's Kubo's favorite
I see Kubo has good taste. Not surprised, there's something about her that makes me think Kubo would like her more than some of the others. Obviously there's the tits but it also the rest of her design and her personality. She can be difficult and seems a little slutty but deep down she's a loyal woman.

Anyway you have a source? I'd like to see if Kubo explains why she's his favorite.

>Did you expect Nel to become a main character? To leave all of her friends in Hueco Mundo behind?
Not him but his comment about Nel points to something that's off with Kubo's writing in general. He devotes too much time to side characters and expanding the cast without really developing most of them much. You get introduced to dozens of characters but very few feel fleshed out. When he does attempt to flesh them out its usually with cheap melodramatic mid-fight flashbacks.

I dropped Naruto a long time ago and obviously keep up with Bleach so I prefer the latter but I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

I keep following this series because I'm invested already and I much prefer Kubo's aesthetic and some of his world building and concepts but you're right that the power up stuff is absolute trash. Most of the decent fights tend to come from the side characters who have more creativity in their abilities and who are more disposable while Ichigo's fights have usually bored me, especially when he fights the last boss of the arc(ButterflAizen and Yhwach in particular). Also I prefer series where the main character's power level isn't too far ahead of hs comrades making them more useful. In Bleach Ichigo's original comrades, Uryuu, Orihime, and Chad, are near useless and so are most of the Shinigami at this point with the notable exceptions of Byakuya, Zaraki, and based Mayuri.

Mayuri is the one character who I believe fits the turn based style of combat Kubo loves because his abilities are a window into his personality in a way that's more effective than it is with the other characters. The drug he used on Szayeloporo was neat and I thought the Demon Womb power up was awesome in both its ability and aesthetic.

4~5.

Another 4 is what would normally happen (200 pages), but since this is the final volume they might up it to 5.

Even though I ship IshiHime I wouldn't mind this. Something about the daughter and ultimate creation of the Shinigami Mengele getting with a Quincy who's grandfather was murdered by said Shinigami seems right to me as weird as that sounds.

If those two can set their past aside and get together it would seem like a step towards closing the age old feud. Almost like a political marriage meant to foster peace that came about organically during war.

>>143631838
That's because he knows it's most profitable showing side characters together just enough to get the shipfags on board but never lay anything in stone.

Remember that time Uryu and Orihime were alone in Soul Society just long enough for him to grab and save her from an attack? Followed immediately by teasing with Nemu? Everybody in Bleach hangs out together just long enough to cover some shipping cliches, and then it goes nowhere. Some of it didn't catch on, but not from a lack of trying. Like Chad and Rukia briefly teaming up to fight a Hollow, and their tactic was Chad holding her.

It's a pattern that was there since the beginning. If anybody ever enters an official relationship, like Isshin, Ryuken, or even Byakuya, the spouse is already dead to free them up.

Maybe a sequel to bleach is really happening. There is no way Yhwach's going to lose within four to six chapters. Ichigo still needs to get his resolve and powers back. He also needs to get a new Zanpakto. Then he needs to go to the portal and actually find a way to defeat Yhwach and make sure he stays dead. There is also the question of who would replace him as the Soul King and the epilogue.

If 74 is the final volume then either everyone dies or we get a sequel.

The first arc up until SS, early Arrancar arc up until Hueco Mundo, and Fullbringer. I like Karakura Town and the human side characters. Also Rangiku in the school uniform is pure sex.

I also did like really Hueco Mundo and SS though. Those two arcs had the best fights fights.

>>143631995
Because Kubo doesn't know what to do with her. He seems to want to make her useful but always forgets to.

>>143632389
I also think its because Kubo enjoys designing new characters and having them engage in creative banter. Its good for setting the stage for an expanded cast but he never delivers and just keeps creating more and more characters until you have dozens and dozens of characters, sometimes with a couple having similar designs and personalities, all being somewhat shallow and engaging in melodramatic and/or humorous banter in between explaining their ridiculously complicated powers.

I had another dream about Bleach, and Rukia in particular.

Rukia, Renji and I were on a mission, running towards our target in some urban area. Rukia was on my right, Renji was on my left (my hate for him permeates even my subconscious it seems). We were chatting along the way, and I asked Rukia whether she had a boyfriend or crush. She replied hastily something along the lines of "No, I don't have a boyfriend in the real world". I immediately caught on and replied "Nobody said anything about the real world". At this point I think she sped up and ran ahead of us, because the next thing I remember is running up to her to grab her from the waist, lifting her up and demanding an answer. I think she was blushing. The dream ended after this. Maybe Renji clonked the back of my head or something.

I think this was the first time I ever had a real conversation with her in all of my dreams.

He definitely likes making more characters, but all of them basically banter the same way. One with the unshakable expression while the other shouts like they can't believe what they're hearing. Personally, I think he just likes doodling designs and making people ship, even when there's zero banter.

Multiple times in interviews he brings her up as being a favorite:

Q: Do you have a favorite female character in Bleach?

TK: Hmm. Yoruichi and Rangiku! Their attitude is like, they just don't care what people think of them! (laughs) I have a lot of fun drawing them and creating stories with them.

SJ: If you could choose a character as a sibling, who would it be?
TK: I'd choose Rangiku, I wish she were my older sister. [Laughs] Well, that's because you cna count on her when you're in trouble.

and there's another where he and Ichigo's VA both answered they liked Orihime and Rangiku best.

Eh, once he unlocked his full Bankai he was more useful. The training with Ichigo, and Renji was amusing IMO. I get where you're coming from though. I swear whenever he pulled his old bankai fucking roar zabimaru more like roar stupid piece of shit bankai that keeps falling apart.

Yeah. Although the dreams always sound better than they actually are. Everything is hazy and weird, and after you've woken up you can only remember a slideshow, more or less. Even if the dream is lucid.

They still make me happy. This time wasn't a lucid dream though. Most lucid dreams end with me never being able to find/summon Rukia. Most of the time I don't even remember to do that, I just follow my instincts and fly for the remainder of the dream.

You seen how most shounen manga end, especially in Jump? The ones that actually have an ending don't end up anywhere near where Bleach is now. For all his mistakes writing characters, Kishimoto at least had an idea where he was taking his series.

This is headed more towards Shaman King's bullshit ending, complete with wasting way too much time fighting a gauntlet of unnecessary henchmen with bullshit abilities made up at the last second.

White wasn't an ordinary hollow, while Isshin's heritage and Ichigo's visit to Urahara's pit would've definitely marked him with the traditional hollow. Ichigo was just special in the way that his hollow side was unsealed and controlled.

It's possible that Yhwach took merely the powers that he was aware of. It wouldn't be the first time that Aizen fooled him. It could as well be that White has lied dormant all this time, merely affecting Ichigo's other powers in subtle ways (like bleaching his unsealed Zan spirit white, and giving him horns)

>>143635395
>White wasn't an ordinary hollow
My understanding was he was a prototype Arrancar. Not necessarily "ordinary" since the process to reach that stage naturally is pretty convoluted regardless, but it doesn't necessarily imply Ichigo's powers are somehow "abnormal".
>while Isshin's heritage and Ichigo's visit to Urahara's pit would've definitely marked him with the traditional hollow
It was already explained that Hichigo was always Zangetsu and "old man" was the younger Yhwach that takes residence inside every Quincy because reasons. Urahara's pit had less to deal with transforming the nature of the hollow and more forcing Ichigo's powers to surface through induced Hollowification
> Ichigo was just special in the way that his hollow side was unsealed and controlled
It wasn't even "controlled" so much as "Young Yhwach" was suppressing it and using it to supplement Ichigo's powers.
>It's possible that Yhwach took merely the powers that he was aware of
Which were all of Ichigo's powers
>It wouldn't be the first time that Aizen fooled him
Aizen was nowhere near the fight. Hell, he's still in Seireitei
> It could as well be that White has lied dormant all this time, merely affecting Ichigo's other powers in subtle ways

No manga ever tells the remaining number of final chapters. But they'll tell you the ending volume is coming to make it seem more important. Or in Bleach's case, counterbalance the feeling of it getting axed while wading without direction.

We are standing on a precipice

Come next week, the winner of IchiBowl will most likely be revealed, if there is to be any, and the remaining chapters will be delivering the defeat of Yhwach.

In just four days, the greatest shitstorm ever to befall Bleach threads might be upon us. It's finally happening.

>>143636862
I'm not sure. I think I'll go with the nakama cover ending where we have four volumes left for Chad, Orihime, Rukia, and Ichigo on the covers.

What if we get Aizen producing more keikaku babies in the sequel to beat Bach?

>Aizen will never be your uncle

I may be called delusional for this but here I go.

There are many plot threads still up in the air, and there's absolutely no way Kubo would be able to resolve even half of them in 5 chapters at his usual pacing. Moreover, if he's saving the last chapter for some kind of epilogue, that means the final battle would only last 4 chapters. That seems way too few for Ichigo to get back his resolve (and powers?) and defeat Yhwach.

So two things can happen now.
A) Ichigo becomes God-tier through some asspull or other, and kills Yhwach. Bleach ends in 5 chapters, plot points unresolved and all.
Despite the popular opinion, I don't think Kubo is THAT much of a bad writer.
He often gets back to past plot points later in the story, and solves inconsistencies as well as he can.

B) He's pulling a Tokyo Ghoul marketing strategy.
"Bleach" will end with Yhwach's victory, the last 5 chapters are centered on the creation of the new world order and the survivors' reactions to it.
A sequel story will start some time after.

That kind of stunt is something Kubo would definitely love to do. I'm sure he's going for B.
>>
>>143637444
A is literally what happened with Mugetsu so yes, Kubo is THAT bad of a writer.
>>
>>143637444
>That kind of stunt is something Kubo would definitely love to do. I'm sure he's going for B.
Why bother making a sequel when he can just finish everything NOW?
>>
Anime announcement at the end of the five chapters which will start at the same time as the sequel of the manga. Screencap this shit faggots.

There's like 19 chapters left. Just let it fade off into oblivion.
>>
You think WSJ is giving Kubo the boot or some shit? Ending in 5 chapters seems way too sudden and is reminiscent of other cut series.
>>
>>143637555
Yeah, I agree the FGT was bullshitty.
Still, the training to learn the technique, the fight against Aizen, and the aftermath of the war took about 10 chapters together. I don't see Kubo doing something similar in half as many.
Not to mention Ichigo is now in a worse condition than he was in FKT since he's missing all his powers.

Nope

http://www.saiyanisland.com/2016/06/naruto-best-selling-anime-franchise-for-tv-tokyo-april-2015-to-march-2016/

There's also the rest of the novels to adapt, the shit with Boruto, etc. Naruto does too well for TV Tokyo and the studio to let go its their biggest cashcow. Also theres little reason to go back to Bleach since they have another cashcow in Osomatsu-san to exploit. Bleach anime is done if you're lucky you'll get a few OVAs covering the last arc ala Saint Seiya Hades Chapter.

>>143638978
Used to be a momma's boy.
He believes he was responsible for his mother's death because he wasn't strong enough to protect her.
Since then, he's had a bit of a hero complex and has constantly been trying to get stronger.
He's stubborn and impulsive. He tries to create and maintain a "cool guy" persona.
Despite that, he's a prude and gets flustered around scantily dressed women.
He can't bear to see someone suffer or die in front of him.
His self-worth is based on how he perceives his close ones think of him.
He gets depressed and hates himself when he thinks he let someone down.
He tries to read what's on the mind of his opponents and understand the reason they fight for.

>>143639312
I actually agree with that anon, this is the only movie where the story was so awful I had to force myself to watch it to the end, after dropping it few times, and only cause I told myself I'll watch all the Bleach movies.

Seems pretty straightforward
>>
>>143639692
Main villains were the most annoying characters ever, to the point everything else lost appeal.
Don't get me wrong, I ain't saying this is the worst movie ever, the second OVA can actually make you facepalm, but it really takes a Rukia fan to not just give up and watch something else.
>>
I've watched to episode 24 now. The hype about the soul society is really good and really makes it look like a civil war between shinigami. But there's a lot of asspulls and hype about how ichigo beats enemies by himself. Does it get better and better? I heard this show contains the best arc in all of shonen anime. When is that coming and when does it end?
>>
>>143634252
same way for Negima.

The best arc is the espada arc
Ignore the ss faggots, they are the same people that enjoy SOL anime
Espada arc is after the SS arc, so you're close
skip the Bount arc if you want, and there you go, espada arc

So it's okay to drop it after that right?

Pathetic. Really pathetic. Its amazing to see an MC in his final encouter not have his shit together. Naruto had his shit together a while before the final arc as well did Yusuke, Goku, etc. But the last chapter showed us that Ichigo's mental fortitude is as weak as ever and once again his friends will have to bail him out of it witha generic speech.
>Its impossible! Yhwach can see everything before I do it and has a counter measure for all my moves and now has my powers. Its hopeless.
>So what? You've been through worse conditions before...well actually you haven't but since we only have 5 chapters left you're gonna have to do it regardless.
And to think there was a time people thought Ichigo was cool. Now he's just a glorified trophy between a fraction of hambeasts who want to see their actual favorite characters happy.
>>
>>143640407
I could do a recent episode of Bleach but....ya know.

Honestly, SP's fillers and movies were the only things that didn't make Ichigo look like a jobber through the overall series like canon.

This really hasn't happened as much as you think. Really it only happened at the beginning of the Arrancar arc and that's been it.

It's not Ichigo's fault Kubo couldn't write for shit.
>>
>>143641377
People liked Ichigo initially because he was just a normal guy in comparison to the "socially retarded doesdoes whatever he want shounen hero who eats a lot". Of course Kubo threw that out when he turned out to be part everything.
>>
>>143641468
Most of the other characters have some dignity. Ichigo's situations are obviously on purpose to convey "See? The main character isn't invincible!"

>>143641536

Ok
>Ichigo decides to be "cool" and goes into Huceo Mundo by himself
>Rukia returns to tell him to stop being a faggot
How is that a lack of mental fortitude? I reread the chapter just now, she punched him because he thought she wouldn't disobey Yama's orders, not because he was being a faggot.
>Ichigo about to lose to Grimmjow
>Orihime tells him to stop being a faggot
He was holding back on using his Hollow powers because Orihime was scared of him.
Nothing to do with him being depressed again.
>Ichigo can't do anything against Aizen
>His father comes to tell him to atop being a faggot
And what should Ichigo have done? He was the only one that could feel Aizen's power and he realized nobody could even harm him.
>Ichigo gets betrayed by the fullbring and is left crying in the rain
>His father, Kisuke and Rukia comes to tell him to stop being a faggot
Same here, he was completely powerless. What did you want him to do? Punch Ginjo?
>Ichigo is left stunned over Yhwach's immense power
>A half dead Rukia tells him to stop being a faggot
Never happened, Ichigo was shocked by Yhwach telling him he was his son. Rukia told her nothing important during their exchange.

This is especially irritating considering the reason this ending is going to be so rushed is because he ruined his own series with awful pacing. There're so many fatty moments in this War arc alone -- Fullbringers getting introduced just to die without doing anything, epic, full-page spreads hinting at a big fight that fizzles into nothing, etc -- that Kubo just didn't have the finesse to iron out. This last chapter alone was an insult, spending an ENTIRE chapter on Ichigo's 'despair' when it was pretty evident he was despairing last week.
>>
>>143617872

I legit haven't read anything about bleach since I stopped watching halfway through the ulquiorra arc

did rukia and ichigo finally get together?
>>
>>143621457
fuck off
>>
>>143641099
This is delusional.

Rukia going to HM wasn't a motivational moment for Ichigo. He was already determined and was joking around with Nel literally pages beforehand.

Orihime just reminded Ichigo of the stakes at hand. He was holding back and still fighting on even ground. But he needed to end the fight and leave. He wasn't despairing or upset or anything.

Isshin gave him a half-assed little speech, which did nothing, before teaching him the FGT. Which allowed him to win the fight but still left him depressed.

Rukia hands Ichigo some power and then bashes him for being depressed about being powerless. But he didn't need motivation. Look at his face when he gets his powers back, he's already confident and determined to win before Rukia opens her mouth.

Ichigo was stunned about the destruction of SS and finding out he was a Quincy. And did Rukia's quip snap him out of it? No only fully finding out his history did.
>>
Bleach feels nostalgic to me. It was one of the first anime I ever watched after discovering the internet. It was my favorite thing for a while and captivated me. It's a shame my memory of it is stained by all of the shit that came after the Soul Society arc and now it's ending on the shittest way possible. I wish it had ended much sooner.
>>
>>143617872

Will Bleach actually end with IchiRuki or IchiHime or will Kubo just leave us hanging?
>>
>>143642046
If it ends in 5 chapters, there won't be any romance
But if Kubo decides to end it with more chapters, its Ichihime or nothing, Rukia didn't show any feelings towards Ichigo or vice versa
Now check the 50 replies I get from delusional Rukifags

>>
>>143641700
>How is that a lack of mental fortitude?
He was up his own ass thinking he could take care of everything himself when he was teally just being stupid. Ishida, Chad, Renji and Rukia had to remind him that they all wanted to save Orihine and were strong enough to fed for themselves.
>And what should Ichigo have done?
Not thrust himself into the battlefield like an idiot?
> Same here, he was completely powerless
He was also powerless against Yammi yet you agreed that he needed Rukia there to pick himself up?
>Never happened,
Read the manga.
>>143641984
>Rukia going to HM wasn't a motivational moment for Ichigo.
It was. The whole point of the exchange was that he was a retard who had no faith in his comrades his why he tried to talked them out of going, Rukia reminded him that they weren't so weak that he needed to do everything (heh) and that Orihime meant just as much to them then she did to him which put him at ease.

>He wasn't despairing or upset or anything

Read the manga retard.

>Isshin gave him a half-assed little speech, which did nothing,

Wrong it made him move forward when he had given up on the possibility to defeat Aizen due to Gin fucking with him.

>But he didn't need motivation
He did need it. He was crying like a bitch because he truly believed his father had stabbed him and then Rukia reminded him AGAIN that he should never give up like that.

>And did Rukia's quip snap him out of it?
It made him determined to go training to begin with, he only developed that funk when it was revealed his zapaktou wasn't his own during it.

The last time he had seen them, Ishida was powerless, Chad was so weak he wouldn't have been able to do anything, and Renji and Rukia weren't authorized to help as per Yama's order.
>Not thrust himself into the battlefield like an idiot?
The captains in Hueco Mundo sent him to FKT after telling him he may well be their only chance to defeat Aizen. Don't see how that's his fault.
>He was also powerless against Yammi yet you agreed that he needed Rukia there to pick himself up?
But he wasn't. Apply your own advice and read the manga.

Yeah because Ichigo fared soooo much better against the Arrancars right? Having to be saved by Rukia twice and losing to the Espada three times.

Nope he asked to be sent back to FKT after hearing about Aizen's motive. Once again read the manga.

Hold old were you guys when you got into Bleach does it give you a weird nostalgic feeling looking at its beginnings

Like a void.

>>143640791
>Name one non-Aizen character that would have fared better than Ichigo against Yhwach.

Ishida, but only because he has the special anti-Yhwach power. Probably.
>>
>>143640869
No, they just stopped encouraging Kubo to drag it out. Look at Deicide. It was dragged as fuck. A lot of it was just Aizen chasing Ichigo's school friends around Karakura like a Scooby Doo villain.

Yeah, Ichigo got wrecked several times before finishing his Vizard training.
All the more reason for the others not to come when they were all way weaker than Ichigo was, but alright, let's say Ichigo was too cocky.
>Nope he asked to be sent back to FKT after hearing about Aizen's motive. Once again read the manga.
All the captains insisted several times to send him on his way to FKT while he wanted to stay around to take care of Yammy.
>He was. Read tge manga before spouting shit
I can't even tell what you're talking about. Ichigo refused to used his powers because he was scared of White. If you'got some proof you want to show me that he lost his powers at the time, go on.

We are reaching critical mass

It will happen next chapter, or it won't happen at all.

The build-up of hype cannot be contained

The hopes and dreams of thousands of anons are about to burst after waiting for over a decade

Brace for impact

>then jumping straight to the manga?
I've got a confession to make. The Bleach manga has killed my ability to read other manga. Like, I can no longer see what is drawn, the content of the panels is a mystery to me, for whatever reason, since I started reading the Bleach manga, I can only see the text. I've got no fucking clue what's going on in a fight unless they fucking tell me.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Either SS or the arc before it.

Rushed as fuck, but Naruto wrapped up everything in about as long, without counting the flash-forward to Boruto.

What about Aizen and the daddies? I don't believe that Aizen would simply help them defeat Yhwach and be done with it.

Confirmed, only 5 more chpaters left and ending in august.
Thoughts?

Aizen won't be relevant, except maybe as the imprisoned Soul King replacement.

He'll never leave the chair! ;_;

this to be completely honest

I don't even know why, I don't find rukia hot or anything, she's like midget twig and now she looks like a trap

but ichigo and rukia together just feels right

>The whole point of the exchange was that he was a retard who had no faith in his comrades

That's literally been the consistent theme throughout the manga, and was a little dulled by the fact that only a couple chapters prior Ishida and Chad literally had the same speech with him before and after going to Hueco Mundo. But despite the fact that 4 of his closest friends kept berating him to rely on them more, he never did. The only resolution to them expressing their feelings was one panel of Ichigo slightly smiling or with an surprised expression. But he was going to do the whole thing himself and kept thinking about it that way.

>Read the manga retard.
Show me where in the Grimmjow fight that he lost the will to keep fighting. Or that he was despairing over the outcome or upset. Every single panel has nothing but sheer determination on his face, aside from the reactionary panels where he can't predict Grimmjow's speed.

AFTER he received shinigami powers he was back to normal. Look at his face. That's all you need to do to realize how wrong you are. Rukia's bitching was pointless because he was only despairing at his lack of power, which was no longer an issue.

And here's the page of Rukia supposedly filling Ichigo with determination after the initial invasion. The one sentence she said to him was less inspiring than even Shinji's statement, which did nothing.

I'm a hardcore IchiRukifag and I never took it taht way.

The page just shows that Rukia knows Ichigo much better than the likes of Shinji.

If Aizen doesn't end up and being somewhat relevant and was brought back for the sake of bringing him back I'm gonna be pissed. This whole time I've been waiting for a reveal a true and deeper motivation for his actions that the whole becoming a god or just wanting to find someone he can fight as an equal crap. I suspect he knew about Bach and that the quincy invasion was going to happen. Maybe he also knows about other shit nobody else does and how to stop Bach. I wont get my hopes up though; this is Kubo after all.
>>
>>143645860
It would be fucking stupid if they introduce him back into the story that early in the arc if he's barely gonna do anything. But yeah like you said it's Kubo so anything goes.
>>
>>143645776
I'm a huge Ichirukifag and I agree. I always took that exchange as a display of how well Rukia understands Ichigo.

New Cleanser thread when?

BLEACH IS STILL GOOD, FUCK YOU.
BUT I AM SO GODDAMM MAD! How does Kubo intend to end this in 5-7 chapters now that the bad guy has essentially declared victory and there is no one left to oppose him??

Bleach:re
It all reeks of sequel
>>
>>143646188
The only way I can see this ending now is if everyone sacrifices themselves to make sure Ichigo makes it to the new world, with the final chapter leading up to a sequel set in this new world.
>>
>>143646442
Do we really NEED a sequel?
>>
>>143646511
YES, Bleach cannot produce a satisfying end in 5 chapters. This will be like Devilman again, where Lucifer won at the end of the manga, but much later, after Violence Jack they had a rematch and Lucifer was finally beaten.
