Picture of Databook

So I feel bothered that Renji isn't one of the new captains. Like I always kind of figured from about the soul society arc on that Renji would make captain some day and when Byakuya got fucked up I took it as the very obvious setup for that to occur.

But no apparently he's still a lieutenant. I figure it's obvious that he's more powerful than about half of the current and new captains, but as of this arc isn't he supposed to be one of THE very most powerful soul reapers? Like top three non-ichigo tier?

I mean jokes about Renji jobbing aside he SHOULD theoretically be ultra suited for it

>>145386206
Kubo shared he is not captain material. I dont remember in which interview. I think last year in 13 Blades.

>>145386206
to become a captain one also needs to apply for the position, maybe Renji likes his current position, presumably under Rukia?

>>145386206
Captains other than from the 11 squad spend all their time doing paper work. Renji does not want to do that bullshit, and is perfectly satisfied being VC, and doing foot work like Ikkaku.

>>145386193
Get your head slammed into the wall you ESL faggot. I hope you get caught stealing internet and the police beat the shit out of you and throw you in jail.
>>145386206
There's two possibilities. First, he only wants to be the captain of the Sixth Division. He can't do that until Byakuya fucks off. Second, it could be that he wants to be Rukia's Vice Captain.

>>145386258
That interview was retarded. His explanation made absolutely no sense.

>>145386206
The entire point of Renji's character is that he's a stray dog looking for his day. He'll always aim for great heights, but fall short. That's why his loss to Byakuya in the SS arc is so heartbreaking, and why the few times since that he's squeaked out small victories were fun. It's(usually) entertaining because he's not a downer about it; he'll always get up and try again. He'll always be hopeful, so its not an example of Kubo being a sadist or anything.

He's a less shitty Rock Lee.

>>145386319
Or he's just weaker than the current captains

I want to hug her.

You niggas are forgetting that Renji never said that he wants to be a captain. As a VC he already reached quite a lot as a Shinigami. He was a fucking street kid.

>>145386365
Are you serious? There's a reason he trained with the Royal Guard.

>>145386402
He didn't cheat like Rukia did. Good for him.

That is NOT the picture I posted. What in the hell?

>>145386206
Renji's waiting outside the room for the ceremony. If he's still a lieutenant of the Gotei 13, of ANY division, then he should be inside.

So Renji must be no longer in the Gotei 13 and has been promoted to the Zero Division in some capacity.

Alternatively, Renji just entered immediately before or after Rukia and him being outside was meaningless. But that would mean that he didn't get promoted while Rukia went from unseated all the way to captain, which is just sad.

>>145386479
Given what you typed I'm pretty sure you posted the correct picture the first time.

If you look at the collective of captains now and compare it to the captains who were around back in the SS arc, you can tell that the Gotei 13 are really, REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.

>Komamura may be dead or at the very least is still in Shib mode
Don't do this to me bleach, at least say he's still around and a powerful dog monster or some shit. He's had it so Ruff don't do this too him too.

>>145386479
Image glitches do happen, but it's highly unlikely that you would get another Bleach image due to 4chan messing up. You probably just posted the wrong picture from your Bleach folder.

>>145386528
She did cheat.
>>145386586
I laughed. It's confirmed that the doggy is just that, a doggy. Otherwise Iba wouldn't be a fucking captain.

>>145386531
>Or he's just Rukia's Vice Captain.

No, the 13th Division vice captain should already be inside. Hiyori was lined up properly when Urahara entered.

>>145386508
>aizen had an arrancar dog #35 in his army
He is higher than Loly and Menoly

>>145386548
Renji could be a lieutenant in the Zero Division if Ichigo is a captain in the Zero Division and selected Renji as his lieutenant.

It's a crack theory but it explains why Renji isn't inside the room and why his badge isn't visible.

>>145386585
That is the result of nepotism, and hierarchy with recommendations.

>>145386628
Cheat in what?

If the omake pages in Volume 74 have Iba sitting at his desk or whatever while real dog Komamura sleeps next to it, I'll fucking cry.

>>145386585
>Literally got made a VC for being Hisana's sister and therefore related to Byakuya.

It's the opposite. She was held back from being a seated officer for decades by Byakuya.

>>145386688
There are no captains or VC in the zero division. Just 5 strong guys. Renji being in there is really reaching.

>>145386731
She would have never of had that chance if it wasn't for Byakuya.

>>145386365
>weaker than the current captains
And how many of them know the true name of their Zanpakuto?

He's arguably stronger than anyone in that room, with the only valid arguments being Rukia, Kenapchi when he isn't jobbing to himself, Toshiro in Fullbring-thefujosout mode and at a far stretch: Kyoraku and Byakuya.

>Jobs to Yhwach

Who doesn't? The only people actually able to stand on that battlefield are Ichigo, best boy Aizen, the silver arrowhead (not even the actual arrow or Uryuu) and Renji himself.

>>145386695
Which ultimately means she didn't go through the struggle that Renji did.

>>145386731
Until he made her a VC right away.

>>145386688
I just hope Ichigo is still some kind of factor in the soul society, even if its just his normal position of an on call guy they ask to fuck shit up every now and then.

I REALLY don't want him to have put down his sword forever or not gotten it fixed or any of that shit, especially since we got a whole arc of why that doesn't fucking work for him.

I really hate the "anime hero beat up this badguy so he retires into noncombatant status forever" trend

>>145386748
Yeah, that's why it's a crack theory. It relies on Ichigo being in the Zero Division and changing the rules to let his bro in as his lieutenant.

Renji is actually a pretty cool if you see his story as that of an underdog who got a based happy end.

>>145386758
Rukia always had the skills to become a seated officer. It was clearly explained by Chappy.

>>145386758
>She would have never of had that chance if it wasn't for Byakuya.
Sure, but its does not change the fact she is adapt with controlling her spirit energy at an early age. Both her and Renji joined together, and separated depending on their talents, work ethics, and connections. So was the old ways of Soul Society. She obviously worked hard to get accepted by meeting all the criteria.

Like Iba did by being adapt in every field to become a VC. Since he was not particularly talented in any field. Iba was a hard worker, and became qualitified.

>really scrapping the bottom of the barrel

Come on anon, stop merely pretending to be retarded.

Of course it seems that way. The captains were the strongest in soul society and had their strength displayed as well as built up through hype and anticipation merely by virtue of the nature of their station.

We remember when all the new captains were not at that level, and we know no one even in that picture is at old-man genocide's level, not even Base Aizen.

If we were introduced to the current captains as they are at the start of the story, we would be intrigued by how strong they possibly are and what they could possibly do because we didn't know at the time. We already have a preconceived notion that the new captains who moved up are far out of their league, with the possible exception of Rukia because Royal Guard training.

It's about talent. Rukia had already killed an Espada. Also the VC spot was probably being held open specifically for her by Ukitake.

>>145386799
That definitely won't be the case for Ichigo. At worst, he's still a substitute Shinigami in the real world who runs off and kills Hollows whenever he gets an alert.

However, that doesn't pay any bills and would interfere with whatever job Ichigo would have (still at Unagiya?!). He would be Peter Parker, and Peter Parker's life sucks.

I honestly thought she would have a little something to do with the final assault on the sky palace. being a healer, and a VC.

No wait, we still haven't seen Omaeda, or Sentaro. Let alone Hanataro

It was a fake made by her sword powers, like Zangetsu's Unlimited Blade Works. Isane observed that it was unlike any other known Shikai,

>Who gave her her her uniform.

Who cares? It was just a robe. Orihime and Ishida knocked out some Shinigami and stole some, too.

>How did she become a vice captain.

Kenpachi can appoint whoever he wants.

>>145388474
>Zanpakuto in a physical form are indistinguishable from Shinigami- see Nimaiya Ouetsu's harem

-'Shikai' had no release command; not actually a Shikai or at least an entirely different form of release altogether, as noted by Isane

>>145388841
Why can't they age?

>>145388841
She's the only zanpakuto we've seen age, that doesn't mean zan spirits don't age.

Why is Rukia the leader of the Gotei?
Wasnt Yama the strongest one of all? By that logic someone like Kenpachi or Byakuya.

>>145388885
She's not idiot

>>145388841
To be fair, the only other zanpakuto spirit that appeared while its wielder was still a kid was Hitsugaya's, and that was a dragon of unspecified age. That's not enough data for one to be sure they don't change.

Throughout Bleach it's stated tons of times that he has the strongest ice zanpakuto and that he's a genius, but that he still needs more years to become fully proficient.
I bet you, if there would be a hundred year timeskip Hitsugaya would be CC of the gotei.

The game is actually making money, it might live long enough for the quincy arc, we are already getting dangai ichigo and possible final form Aizen, after that there is only fullbringers and quincies.

Unless they want to do a bount gacha first....

Much as I like srpg, for bleach the game has to fast, either a musou or fighting game, is just too dammed slow to play otherwise.

3rd phantom was good, but I played with fast forward the whole way through.

end

I hope Ichigo and Orihime don't show up next chapter, that would be the perfect end.

Rukia has noto seen ichigo for ten years

>>145390798
literally zero indication for or against that. we know next to nothing about the past ten years

>mfw we won't get a single scene of Rukia being a clumsy aunt to Ichigo's child while he is overprotective
Missed chance.

>>145390851
There's peace hence literally no reason to see ichigo. In the last 1.5 year timeskip she never saw him why would this be any different. The only other way would be if ichigo is dead

If he's the soul king there's even less chance of rukia seeing him.

>>145391292
Royal Realm got wrecked and Ichigo will go where he wants, though.

>>145386506
To be fair they just went through what was, arguably, the biggest conflict in all of Soul Society's history. It's not like they had spare top-tier captains waiting among the rank and file. Plus Squad 4 is a support/healing squad, so you can't just promote any random soldier to that position.

Does anyone think Iba bangs Isane?

>>145390442
Kyoraku peeking around the speech bubble is adorable.

>>145391032
there was peace when Rukia first met Ichigo, too. whether he's the soul king, a normal human, or back to being a substitute shinigami, there are any number of excuses to have them cross paths over the course of 10 years

>>145391535
we don't know that. Uryuu might be stuck being soul king for all we know.

>>145391432
but VC's do a lot of talking with subordinates and VC's of other divisions, him trying to communicate would be like shinigami version of Lassie, where he barks and shinigami try to guess is it a hollow or did a kid get stuck in a well

>>145391535
Ichigo won't be the same kind of Soul King, obviously. He might have to stay in Soul Society but he'll have freedom of movement.

>>145391616
Yachiru was A vc the job can't be that hard at any rate I'm sure a dog could be one.

>>145391682
anon, you missed my point, Yachiru could talk

>>145391650
This line of thinking just goes against everything ichigo is. He's no king. I could never see him even being a captain let alone soul king.

I kind of hope he's just running the clinic now.

>>145391728
You missed my point. Yachiru's level of conversation about VC related duties would be the equivalent of a dog's barks.

Mangastream mistranslated it.
Raw says 無欠の果て. See pic related. Which means "The End (果て) of Flawlessness (無欠)".
"A perfect End" literally means the opposite and is a meme translation by Mangastream which isn't implied at all. Basically out of their ass.

>>145391794
Being the Soul King isn't really like being a king.
It's kinda like being Atlas.

>>145391616
Didn't Shunsui, when releasing Aizen, mention that someone proficient enough could communicate through Reiatsu?

>>145391794
first off we know next to nothing about what the role of the soul king is. what we do know is that it means being the lynchpin that keeps the 3(?) worlds separated. Ichigo's entire character revolves around one and only one gimmick: that he won't stand down from protecting someone if he knows its in his power to save them. The soul king is the most logical extreme of that sole defining character trait. He protects everyone.

>>145385848
Only if there's a final popularity poll.

>>145391794

>>145391912
>>145391873
Holy shit we have two translators in the thread. Based anons.

>>145392076
Ichigo is not the type to give orders like that anyway.

>>145392009
They somehow missed Yama-jii, too.

>>145391912
Don't be stupiud, it's not some bullshit meme, it's just them being bad at what they do. "Flawlessness" and "Perfection" are synonymous, that's not any kind of a stretch. What they fucked up was assuming it was an adjective and not a noun. Given that's it's a crude title and not a sentence there's no indicator of subject or object and apparently they took liberties with that. To many, obviously. To translate it as "Perfection's End" would've been acceptable and closer to their line of thinking. The issue was that they mistook The End and wound up arranging it more along the lines of "The End's Perfection" then fiddled with the structure to try to make it smoother.

Why didn't shinji use bankai against aizen?

>>145392297
even just his shikai would've reversed everyone else too wouldn't it? that wouldn't be much help

Why didn't renji get promoted to captain when his bankai was revealed and they had a shortage of captains?

His Bankai does a reversal 10 times which cancels out to doing nothing at all.

How do we not know if Ywach will be the new soul king trapped inside a stasis crystal? Last we saw was Ichigo cutting him in two. Weather or not that means he dies is yet to be seen. Hiyori was cut in two and survived. maybe they used him to be the new linchpin and is also trapped in a stasis crystal.

Renji is still shadowing Byakuya so that he can take the 6th Division captain's spot.

Notice that all the other promoted Captains were replacing their own former Captains.

>>145392390
I've been rereading the chapters up until the start of soul society. I feel things

>>145392437
Ikkaku had a reason to not be captain. He was buttbuddies with zaraki. Renji never said he didn't want to. Why didn't he become one? All you need is a bankai right?

>>145392508
>2016

>>145392510
What's so special about the 6th captains slot? Ichimaru became 3rd captain from 5th lieutenant.

>>145392510
When what byakuya retires? Never going to happen renji is more likely to die waiting.

>>145392437
No, it was Ikkaku who didn't want to be a captain. Ikkaku was insistent on staying with Zaraki. Renji was also insistent on sticking around to one-up Byakuya. Hisagi's a Kensei fanboy. Kira's ambiguously not-dead. and Love wanted to stay on Earth to read manga. I don't know who else is eligible for captaincy. Urahara, Tessei, Yoruichi, and Isshin I guess? Now that all their respective bullshit is more or less a bunch of non-issues.

>>145392525
see >>145392510

I remember first opening this chapter and thinking I skipped one somewhere.

Like it went directly from the panel yhwach getting cut in half for like the 4th time to "10 years later". Like I wasn't even sure at the end of the last chapter if he even died, since getting cut in half in bleach is usually somewhere around the mid fight "I haven't even revealed my true power"

>>145392367
Because yamamoto knows you can't have a stupid jobber as a captain. Renji has the weakest bankai ever.

>>145392584
He'll mindbreak Byakuya by ravaging Rukia in front of him.

>>145392451
That would be a copout. If the new Soul King is a frozen prisoner, it's probably Aizen.

>>145392600
Well yoruichi won't even had her Bible house any more so I doubt she'd be willing to be a captain.

>>145392604
Squad 3, 5 and 8(9) had no captains. Why not fill a vacant position when you have a bankai?

>>145392575
There's more to being a captain than just having Bankai, anon.

>>145392686

Not only had Renji just obtained Bankai, he had damaged it when he fought against Byakuya and was nowhere near close to mastering it.

>>145392917
Nope. Everyone has a bankai that is much stronger than when we saw it at the start and there are multiple vice captains also with bankai. I'm hesitant to call it the strongest because no yama-jii but they're certainly not trash.

>Aren't Shunsui and Shinji both supposed to be monstrously strong (Despite Shinji's past -job- experience), and didn't Byakua get a power boost from being healed?

None of them give any indication of being beyond captain level like Yamamoto and Aizen were. And those guys were all in the last generation, while they've lost Ukitake and Unohana.

Alright so I just got to this part in the manga and can anyone help clarify what just happened? So the tall Ywach looking guy that we thought was "Zangetsu" is really just the quincy powers inside Ichigo right? And his actual power is the white hollow that he always fights inside himself. Except the quincy power has been surpressing Ichigo's shinigami and hollow power the entire time? And now Ichigo has two zangetsu's, one is a quincy blade, and the other is his shinigami/hollow blade. Am I getting this correct? If not can anyone simplify?

So if Ichigo is part Human/Quincy, Hollow, and Shinigami. He will most likely be powerful enough to withstand all the SK power to not lose control of himself.

>>145395243
He has fullbring powers too

>>145395041

wait no, i forgot about Askin

Does someone have the page with Yhwach announcing his return?

>>145395527
His first Tensa Zangetsu isn't his true Bankai; it's abilities are actually more similar to a Quincy's Blut Artere (enhanced speed).

The reforged Tensa Zangetsu is a vessel that more accurately represents Ichigo's actual powerlevel; a single swing has enough power to kill a God.

>>145395561
he's been using his real shinigami powers, but apparently never at full strength. and it's the quincy powers that have been holding them back. this does not retroactively explain how his sword spirit manifested as a mask outside the sword without Ichigo's knowing or consent. It also doesn't explain his sword being able to take over his body, or wanting to and threatening to, ala all his previous inner world training segments. or how Urahara's doll designed specifically to draw out sword spirits somehow accidentally drew out quincy powers instead. there's a lot of dumb retcon stuff that doesn't really line up pots reveal, but Kubo had to keep the train rolling.

>>145390302
>Admire the man who saved his life as a kid for years

>>145395802
Are you joking? The entire reason Ichigo's power manifested as a Hollow was due to Yhwach impersonating Zangetsu. If Ichigo had been a proper Shinigami, then his latent Hollow powers would have manifested within an Asauchi instead of a Mask.

>>145395802

Ichigo's Sword Spirit is a Hollow, the same that had been sealed inside Masaki before being passed to Ichigo. How dense are you?

Remember when Grimmjow came back? yea neither do I

Because he would have to die and he cannot control what happens when he is in that form.

Zangetsu used up all his remaining power to take over and fuck Ulquiorra's shit up, because he's actually a nice guy who understands Ichigo and how important it is for him to protect others. He just hates Ichigo's guts for being such a pansy.

I nearly forgot all about Askin. When you think about it. he was pretty awesome. He took on some of the most cunning, and smartest characters.

Also, dubs.

Isane is gay. She was in love with Unohana.

Stark was r9k right?
He created a loli out of himself so he wasn't lonely.

>>145396655
>Kirge

>>145392284
That would explain why Mayuri is also on the title page.

>>145396458
Most? Please tell me which ones.
Also it's been 10 fucking years. If she mastered her bankai I'm pretty sure he's stronger than some of the other Captains.

I thought that was confirmed, when he was fighting Szayel in that one cover page. In that one gover page where had the a literal goat's head.

Funny thing is, that Baphomet is a hermaphrodith and the symbol of the left-hand path. His next opponents were the sexually ambigious Giselle and the left hand Pernida.

Projecting much?

According to Kiyone, Isane has the same feelings for Unohana as she has for Ukitake. And Kiyone wants it very much. Sadly both captains are dead.

A woman is for a man, and a man a woman. Anyone who says otherwise is scum.

I personally think Isane sees Unohana as a mother figure who looked after her because of the constant nightmares. So when Unohana finally had to leave the 4th squad barracks all to Isane's care. She had to grow up a bit from this experience of lose, and to take charge. We never actually got to see this happen when she became captain off screen, but at least shes fine.
