Bleach Manga (many spoilers) discussion

[Nyarlathotep]

I cried at your death old man but I have hope the person coming through the portal rips apart Juha ***** for stepping on your body.

10/10/2012, the day Yama-ji died.

Thought I was the only one who cried... I couldn't help with half of Yama-ji's body falling apart ;-;
Plus, the flashback... And Shunsui's scream :|

I officially hate Yhwach...

[Ver-mont]

Probably because Kubo doesn't know what to do anymore and is just killing characters off.

Not exactly. I think he's trying to show how harsh this war is by actually getting good guys killed for a change (unlike some other supposedly "dangerous" and "extreme" situations in which every do-gooder ends up alive and perfectly fine, and I'm not talking just about Bleach here).

I knew Yamamoto would die before the arc was over from the very moment a good guy finally died, because nothing would scream "Soul Society's darkest hour" as the Captain-Commander's death.

God, even when he cuts someone in half, Kubo can't help but cut someone's arm off afterward.

Right? I know it was supposed to be a very serious scene, but I couldn't help it. Kubo does love cutting arms off.

[arceus03]

I think it's about right. Remember kubo said unohana's true power is when she unbraids her hair. That silhouette is a perfect depiction.

Would be awesome if it's true, but I don't think so. *shrug*

Also, Yama just died, and there's already someone poking fun at that fact.

Don't open if you're offended by his death, I guess:

That's dark as hell, but equally funny.

Has anybody thought to speculate that the explosion may have been caused my Isshin? That ichigo person was still stuck at hueco mundo last time I checked. Juhabach anticipated that the Zero Squad would be showing up soon.

All of my favorite character are dying !
I hate this saga !!!

I don't think it'll be Isshin, as it doesn't seem likely that Ichigo would be kept away from doing anything, and he can't really come in to save the day unless Isshin too is made to look like he'll lose.

[Nyarlathotep]

It is not Ichigo, that is what I believe at least.
If you look closely, the "explosion" has part of a door shape, exactly like the explosion in the sky when Ichigo & cia arrived in there in the Soul Society arc.

It is probably someone coming from the human world.
Isshin? Yoruichi? Tessai? A visored? Who knows.

Why?

I love this saga, even though two characters I like, Kira and Genryuusai, are now dead.
In FKT arc two of my favorites died (Gin and Tousen) and I still think the arc was very good.

[multi-scale]

While this arc has been good so far, I can't help wondering why all of SS's elites are getting crushed so easily. This Bankai stealing thing is the only reason Shunsui and Ukitake aren't kicking *** right now. And how exactly are we going to see any bankai if all these things aren't destroyed?

Honestly I think Soul Society is getting what it deserves it's pretty much all Yamamoto's fault all this is happening if he would have killed Juha Bach before hand this would have never happened.

Deal with it. I like seeing the good guys lose for once.

[Shadow Lucario]

I honestly don't see how anyone can beat Juha Bach now. He destroyed Yamamoto, literally. The only way I can think of would make the manga repetitive. If Ichigo uses the Final Getsuga Tensho I think he can win, but yeah...no one wants to see that again.

He beat Yamamoto after stealing his Bankai, which isn't possible against Ichigo. So it won't need to be the same situation.

I'm sure they'll find a way to steal Ichigo's. Or he'll just use Yamamoto's and fuck Ichigo up.

I'm leaning toward the Visored. Wasn't there a portal of some kind in one part of their appearance early on in this arc?

Bach will kill Ichigo using Yamamoto's Bankai but he'll come back as a charred skeleton zombie with new powers, clearly.

Unlikely seeing as a big part of the plot is how unique Ichigo's Bankai is. And judging from what we seen, a Quincy using someone's Bankai isn't able to use it at full power. So Bach using Yamamoto's Bankai is gonna be weaker then Yamamoto's display.

But we also saw Byakuya killed by his own Bankai. Even if it's weaker, there is nothing Ichigo can do against Yamamoto's Bankai.

I don't remember. The problem is that the theoretically strongest Visored are already in the Soul Society... Unless we count Hacchi as one of the strongest.

True, though we've seen exactly what existing powerlevels mean in this arc pretty clearly...

[TsukiMirage]

Ichigo was able to block the Kikoou, which basically equals a million Zanpakuto. In addition, his speed would likely be enough to avoid being hit in the first place. The only issue I can see is Ichigo simply having to do enough damage to get pass Yamamoto's shield, and I don;t think that's so impossible against a weakened shield.

[Ciccone]

I have to give accolades to Kubo; last week's chapter was beyond amazing. I felt bad about Yama dying, but I think we all knew it was going to happen sooner or later. At least he went down like a boss. I loved how Juha Bach made a reference to Squad Zero (I wonder if he planned to fight them from the start), and I look forward to finding out who entered Soul Society.

[JD]

Byakuya was still alive that entire time?
