Bleach Manga (many spoilers) discussion

[M4zz]

Guess who got hitched.

The poor soul. May his wallet and pride rest in peace.

And is anybody but me confused to all hell that Ginjo is still alive? Like, he's training Ganju for christ sakes, and nobody bats an eye at him.

I don't think he's training Ganju, I think Ganju is training him (and Tsukishima and Girikio).

As for him being alive... well, he is dead, but now he's in Soul Society, so he certainly isn't alive, but...

This guy is creeping me the flip out...

I wonder how all the girls are Zanpaktou..it's weird.

Explanation: Kubo wanted random fanservice.

Nothing else.

[uber gon]

Huh. So does that mean that zankpakutou filler arc will become somewhat canon?

[Ciccone]

Another light-hearted chapter until the end when Oetsu destroyed Ichigo and Renji's Zanpakuto. I guess they'll have to come face to face with their Zanpakuto spirits next.

[waffle_x_v]

I'm hoping yes and no. I just don't like renji's zanpaktou.

[TsukiMirage]

So it seems like there will be shown a difference between the souls of shinigami and the souls of zanpakutous. Nimaiya turned out interesting, if not a little over the top, and I can't wait to see Ichigo and Renji handle the rage of the zanpakutou. Good chapter.

[Ciccone]

I don't like it either, but I'm looking forward to some development for Renji.

And maybe it's all the fan-service in the chapter, but I didn't even notice that other girl until I re-read the chapter. Her personality is interesting, but her design is pretty reductive.

zanpakutou have souls? I thought they were extensions of their shinigami?

[Shneak]

I finished the Aizen arc. So can someone explain why Ichigo suddenly got long hair and how he randomly converted all of his reiatsu?

[TsukiMirage]

Regular, lower ranking shinigami don't possess their own personal zanpakutou but one given to them.

I mean, I thought Zangetsu, for example, was an extension of Ichigo's soul and not a completely separate soul in and of itself.

[TsukiMirage]

It's an extension, but also an individual being with it's own mind and personality (especially Hollow Ichigo).

[Ciccone]

I'm a little peeved that Ichigo just got Zangetsu back in the Fullbringer arc and now it's broken again and will have to be recreated. It wouldn't bother me as much if Ichigo's next Zanpakuto actually had new abilities, but I know that the chances of it having new attacks are slim to none. Kubo just loves Getsuga Tenshou too much.

[TsukiMirage]

I'm sure Ichigo's new zanpakutou will incorporate his revealed Quincy heritage, so it'll likely have those new abilities too.

It's possible he'll do both. Isshin is able to perform Getsuga Tenshou with his Engetsu too, so there's a chance Ichigo's new Zanpakuto will have new abilities while still retaining the Getsuga.

Getsuga Arrow.

[Shneak]

I should have guessed that the Fullbringers were actually villains. This was foreshadowed but I didn't suspect Ginjou.
