What's going to happen next chapter?

Are we going to stay with Ichigo and Orihime? Will we see the Fullbringers show up? Or will it be the parents?

Or will we leave the Yhwach fight and go to Gerard?

Also, spoilers are out.
>>
Netabare spoilers:
Yhwach attacks Orihime but fails, he says that his future alteration can only target one person at a time.
Ichigo is then pulled into his inner world where talks to Zangetsu. They make a deal and Ichigo returns to the real world. Only this time he is fully hollowfied complete with the helm and everything. Yhwach once again uses his power and it fails.
Yhwach: Masaka!
Ichigo: The one you cut was the other "me".
Ichigo's mask crumbles as he deals a fatal blow. Chapter ends.
>>
OPN spoilers:

Tsukishima inserted himself into Ichigo's past and healed his wounds and repaired his bankai with Nimaiya's help.

Chapter continues with Tsukishima trolling Yhwach. Yhwach knows about Tsukishima and his powers, says he was not included in the Warring 5, but Tsukishima retorts. Tsukishima says that he knows how Yama defeated Yhwach and Yhwach doesn't know how he learned it, but Ginjo appears and reveals it. Tsukishima did not insert himself into the memories of a person, or an object, he inserted himself into the memories of SS itself. He gained that power after Ginjo shared some of Ichigo's power with him. He has in effect become part of SS' history, its past and future according to himself.

Yhwach keeps yapping on about how all powers are useless before him because he can see the future, but then Tsukishima completes his sentence and he falls silent. Tsukishima declares that in two minutes he will be lying dead on the floor and releases Bankai.

The OPN spoilers are sketchy, considering they say:


一護「!! お前は……!」

織姫「月島さん!?」

This implies that she knows who Tsukishima is without any introduction. That's a problem, considering any memory of him was erased once he died.

Old thread is here.
>>143119022
>>
>>143149796
The Netabare spoilers are also sketchy. Why would he attack Orihime if he knew it would fail? Makes no sense.
>>
OPM spoilers:

Ichigo, shivering with despair, gets a few more slashes from Bach and is nearly dying. Bach talks to Orihime uchiha about her sharingan. Orihime negates all events around her but Bach saw it. Rukia comes to the scene, with a quick look of Renji standing next to Ishida to help. Rukia comes to Ichigo's rescue but Bach says that he saw it coming and that there is no other character that can beat Madara uchiha.

Ywach yaps on about how he won and lets rukia, Ichigo and Orihime go. While they're escaping, Ywach doesn't let Naruto escape. They fight. The action goes back to Bane on his plane, talking to CIA.
>>
>>143149954
Actually the OPN meant more than that.

-いちごは、絶望に震え、バッハからさらにいくつかのスラッシュを取得し、ほとんど死にかけています。バッハは彼女の万華鏡について織姫のサスケに話しています。織姫は彼女の周りのすべてのイベントを否定するが、バッハはそれを見ました。ルキア助けるために石田の隣に立って蓮司の迅速な表情で、シーンに来ます。ルキアが一護の救助に来るが、バッハは、彼はそれが来るとマダラのサスケを打つことができる他の文字がないことを見たと言います。

バッハは、彼が勝ったかについて上yapsとルキア、一護と織姫が行くことができます。彼らはエスケープしている間、バッハはナルトの脱出をすることはできません。彼らは戦います。アクションが命とりに戻りますか?彼の平面上に、CIAに話し。」

It implies that something big is gonna happen next week.

>>143151000
I thought the same thing a week ago, before we found out he can manipulate the future as well. But not anymore. You'd need to be infinitely strong in order to deal with that level of manipulation, not just 'strong'. If there's even the slightest possibility he could beat you, he will.
>>
>>143151282
>If there's even the slightest possibility he could beat you, he will.
But that's it. If it's impossible for him to beat you, he is done. He is actually the least tricky character. You don't need any bullshit counter, just simply be strong enough. I'm pretty sure Ichigo will pull out some power-up and Iwach will go 'Masaka! There is no future where I can win!'

That's not true.
>>
>>143151450
You'd need to be either invincible or infallible to defeat him by normal means. At this point I'm convinced that he's going to get nerfed by Soul King shenanigans but otherwise there's probably only a handful of characters in fiction that could beat him otherwise.

Yama has been proven to have a soft heart that grew since the yhwach fight 1k years ago. Take his fight with wonderweiss. he said ' im glad you no longer resemble a child , i can kill you without regret now'. Massive foreshadowing. Also what he said to/of Ayon ' a creature that exists only to take life? pathetic'. I think he battered yhwach into a baby and then couldnt finish him off. mayuri has something to do with it. at the start of this arc look at the hate on mayuris face when he shittalks yama. stranger still he gets away with doing it. mayuris words were 'thats incorrect CC, this happened because 1000years ago you COULDNT kill that man.' he couldnt bring himself to slaughter a baby. also note who is saying this to yama - mayuri whose theme is BABIES AND BIRTH.

Mayuri can turn himself into liquid and be reborn. That is why hes associated with death and rebirth.

bullshit satan.
'Ksitigarbha (or in Japanese, Jizo) statue at Mt. Osore, a location said to resemble children's limbo in Japanese Buddhist tradition. There, Jizo is said to appear to rescue the children from the limbo and its iron club-welding demons. Because of this, Jizo statues are often adorned with bibs, kerchiefs (pictured) and haori. In Jizo's right hand, he carries a khakkhara monk staff, and in his left, a wish-fulfilling jewel.'

Jizo

In Japan, Ksitigarbha, known as Jizo, or Ojizo-sama as he is respectfully known, is one of the most loved of all Japanese divinities. His statues are a common sight, especially by roadsides and in graveyards. Traditionally, he is seen as the guardian of children, and in particular, children who died before their parents. He has been worshipped as the guardian of the souls of mizuko, the souls of stillborn, miscarried or aborted foetuses, in the ritual of mizuko kuyo (????, lit. offering to water children). In Japanese mythology, it is said that the souls of children who die before their parents are unable to cross the mythical Sanzu River on their way to the afterlife because they have not had the chance to accumulate enough good deeds and because they have made the parents suffer. It is believed that Jizo saves these souls from having to pile stones eternally on the bank of the river as penance, by hiding them from demons in his robe, and letting them hear mantras

Nice catch guys. They do have a history; perhaps Urahara saved Mayuri's life with his Bankai? It would further explain Mayuri's inferiority complex with Kisuke.
>>
>>143153432
I think urahara created mayuri. it explains mayrus theme of babies and birth. also why he pissed himself when he noticed nemu had evolved.
>>
>>143153472
because mayuri himself is incapable of evolution. he sidesteps. he isnt perfect (szayel fight). nemus evolution is one in the eye for urahara

That's also true. He's modified his own body quite a bit, but then again there's likely a lot he learned from Urahara that he would never admit to.
>>
>>143153472
No Urahara did not creat Mayuri. One of the earliest scenes we have with Mayuri and Urahara is when Urahara is still chief scientist and Mayuri is in jail, they talked about Mayuri's origins or some shit.
>>
>>143153740
He didn't, but Mayuri is over 1000 years old, while Urahara is not.

>>143152508
>stranger still he gets away with doing it

How is this strange? Yamamoto isn't some super hardass that kills or berates people for insulting him, particularly when he knows he was in the wrong. He's always been particularly soft towards the current generation of Shinigami and is pretty nice when you're not his enemy. I mean he not only forgave all the Shinigami that assisted Ichigo/Company during the SS arc but let the invaders go free despite causing discord and havoc in Soul Society. He let Momo talk to Hitsugaya through a direct line that was used to dole out orders to the Karakura town squad. Hell he even spared Harribel's fraccion.
>>
We do know that Yamamoto is the oldest shinigami at 2100+ years.
>>
>>143154162
Kubo needs to make a timeline of all the Shinigami and their ages, especially the Royal Guard.
>>
>>143154149
wrong again. shunsui himself said that yama wouldve lined up komamura, kensei and soifon and smacked them for arguing like bitches. yama also said that kyoraku and ukitake wouldnt get away with just a beating for betraying him during the first arc. he was going to kill them. for mayuri to get away with that is something huge.
>>
>>143149770
Seems like a perfect time for the fullbringers to show up. If The Almighty can alter the future, it seems like Tsukishima's Book of the End could fuck with it by changing up the set of possible futures by modifying the past.
>>
>>143154162
Ichibee may be older. He named everything and is the only known Shinigami who got has an evolved Zanpakto.
>>
>>143154385
That seems a bit optimistic, I don't think Tsukishima is on the same level as Yhwach right now. But it's an interesting theory nonetheless.
>>
>>143154309
But he didn't kill them when he could have. It was very clear the distance in power between them. Yama was chumming it up with them as he was about to kill them too.

I bet he'll have a databook saved up for after the manga ends. Honestly I wouldn't mind a few more light novels either.
>>
>>143154309
Not at fucking all. If he was going to kill them he could have easily. And look at them now. Shunsui/Ukitake are perfectly fine, they didn't even face punishment for destroying an ancient relic of Soul Society and insubordination. Neither did Zaraki, Renji, Hanataro, Yachiru, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Momo, Kira, or Rukia for outright rebelling against command and Soul Society.

You know the harshest thing Yama's done in this series to his subordinates? He yelled at Byakuya, Kenpachi, and Shunsui for losing their haoris. And that was for comedic effect. Show me one fucking scene where Yama even let on that he has harshly punished any form of insubordination and I'll show you two where he outright ignored it.

>Something being used as comic relief doesn't mean it doesn't add flavor to the character. Like Rukia's drawings, Ishida's tailoring abilities, Ichigo's prudeness all add dimensions to their characters that make them more entertaining.


Here's the thing:

You are correct in saying Rukia and Ishida's flavor comes from those quirks (even Ichigo's prudeness), but the depth in their characters come from somewhere else.

What truly gives a flavor to Orihime's character are her culinary abilities and overall airheadness. Her depth as character comes from her struggle between protecting and not harming anyone while doing it due to her pacific nature.

You were referring those daydreams, fascinations, fantasies she has about Ichigo as "depth". It's not like that.

Those things simply tell us that she has a thing for Ichigo while being funny.

Her crush/love for Ichigo happens to be just a an element about her character. It seems that it can be argued that said element took almost all over her character over the years during the serialization of this manga, but that's just another matter.
>>
>>143154820
>It seems that it can be argued that said element took almost all over her character over the years during the serialization of this manga

Most people agree that it was the Arrancar arc where that particular plot point started to take over Orihime's character, but it also gave us her relationship with Ulquiorra. By the Fullbring arc she seemed to be more balanced and comfortable with her feelings for Ichigo.

That fight and a lot of the Quincy battles don't feel like Bleach, which is generally DBZ power lvls, but with character-unique powers instead of chi blasts. Ywach should fight be more like Frieza instead of annoyingly enigmatic. Maybe it is because the pacing is broken, but I can't get a sense of how strong anyone is anymore.
>>

First off, I think early Bleach is a lot more like Saint Seiya than DBZ, if you haven't read it I'd recommend checking it out.

Secondly, if I were to compare Yhwach to a DBZ villain, he's more like a Cell whose slowly reached perfection over 1000 years, and even has his own Android-tier fodder to increase his power. Aizen is the Frieza of Bleach, with the Arrancar being his Ginyu Force.
>>
>>143156050
Well that's because there was clear power progression in the previous arcs and even shit like "His reiatsu is so strong I can't even breathe!" bullshit.

In SS Ichigo trained his way up from fodder level to Captain, fighting progressively more powerful opponents along the way to benchmark how strong he was at any given time. The rankings were clear. Fodder<Seated Officers<<<Vice Captains<<<<<<<<Captains.

In HM Ichigo fought enemies clearly ranked on power level. Ichigo fought fodder Arrancar, then the Privaron Espada, then Grimmjow, then Ulquiorra, then Aizen. And since Ichigo was more or less Captain level at that point you could judge how strong the other Espada were based off of how close Ichigo's fights were.

With the Holy War we have none of that, no progression, hell Quincy don't even have reiatsu of their own so you can't pull the "weaker characters were paralyzed in their presence" thing. We immediately hopped into the fights between Captains and Sternritter and Ichigo fought one Sternritter then spent the rest of the time training or running.

So are the sternritter spirits like shinigami and hollow's, or somehow mortal's that Jewish Gol D. Roger gave some kind of immortality to with his blood?

As Nodt was shown having only been enlisted in modern times, but you have members like Bazz B and Blondie shown living thousands of years ago, and part of the original rebellion.

Were the bulk of the present day army survivors of the extermination, or descendant's like Uryuu

We immediately hopped into the fights between Captains and Sternritter and Ichigo fought one Sternritter then spent the rest of the time training or running.

Sternritter on average are about as strong as a Captain, some more and some a bit less. Kirge was among the more experienced Sternritter but couldn't keep up with Ichigo in Bankai. Then Ichigo got a training arc and was able to take on several Sternritter at once.

The Shultzstaffel and the Royal Guard represent the next level of power, about equal to Ichigo on average, which is also why only the strongest of the Captains could only barely grasp victory.

And now Ichigo is fighting Yhwach, and we're reaching the peak of Bleach powerlevels. Aizen is probably the only other being we know of who could reach this level.
>>
>>143155569
Maybe he was bluffing to keep Orihime from defending Ichigo but fails when she doesn't back down. If almighty had a weakness like that why would he even tell them?
I believe it's fake but only because there's no Ichigo suffering.
>>
>>143156841
To be fair, we probably won't see Ichigo despair as someone is going to come save the day. Or Orihime will die, then yeah, we'll see some despair.
>>
>>143156505
I don't know if I can answer your question fully, but I believe the Sternritter are Quincy who've reached another level of connection with Yhwach through their Shrift, which is what allows them to survive for such long periods of time. Uryuu is the 'last living Quincy', making him the youngest. Their connection to Yhwach make them an entirely different type of soul compared to Shinigami and Hollow, which can be traced as far back as the colors of the Spirit Ribbon which Uryu used to use.

Most Sternritter were stronger than the captains by a fair amount. Since almost everybody needed a last minute powerup to kill any, with the exception of Kenpachi who wiped out 4 in the initial invasion.

But it doesn't change the fact that there was no real progression. Sternritter aren't ranked internally and there were no non-Sternritter to gauge how strong they were. It just jumped in to Elite Shinigami vs Elite Quincies.

Like I said, it's an average, and some have abilities that make them difficult to rank objectively.

But why does it matter? The linear power structure of the Espada was boring and didn't make a lot of sense (ex. Yammy). Can't really explain the power jump to the RG/Schultzstaffel better than I already had, it's pretty self-explanatory if you look at how much the Captains have improved since the Arrancar arc.
>>
What are the odds that Ywach somehow manages to use his newfound powers to de-age himself?

If Ichigo's quincy powers do represent a source of Ywach's power/ability wouldn't it mean that the "Tensa" form of Old man Zangetsu, and by extension Ywach in his youth was when he was at his prime?

What if Bleach takes place in the distant future. The Living World is just a recreation and Soul Society or Huaco Mundo was once the real World of the Living. What if souls are artifitial.

I'm seriously dumbfounded as to how Ichigo is going to be able to kill Ywach if his power is to change the future and he can literally do anything. I'm sure Kubo will come up with something. Me personally, though, I can't think of anything that Ichigo would be able to do. I'm guessing it will have something to do with Orihime.

I think Juha power is almost like the Path to victory from Worm, if you can die at all, the power will always show a way to kill you, after all killing someone in battle is not the only way to win, Ichigo is not able to deal with kido bullshit or quincy shenanigans like the one Askin pulled on him.

There are thousand ways Juha can kill ichigo without ever getting himself involved in reatsu bullshit, a simply poison power like the one Askin had would do the trick, Barragan would have laughed ichigo out of the room but that its a fight kubo would never allow to happen.

The only person who is actually free from death is Aizen, at this point Aizen is the only one beyond the Almighty.

Thank you for the tip on Aizen's inspiration, even though I can't help but think now he is gay for Ichigo.

The name Ragaraja eventually brought me to following part:
"Mahamayuri (Japanese: 孔雀明王 (Kujaku Myōō?)), is one of the Wisdom Kings in the Buddhist Pantheon. Mahamayuri is a peaceful personification, in contrast to the wrathful attitudes of male personifications of the Wisdom Kings. Mahamayuri had the power to protect devotees from poisoning, either physical or spiritual."
>>
>>143163809
I know it's not final, hence why I said it looks, only looks not is, to be final, as it gives that impression at first.
Let's put it this way, did Aizen make a funny face when Isshin pushed him back? That wasn't final fight either.
Big baddies are not here for comedy relief.

Bleach Chapter 679 Spoilers

Personally I don't think it's genuine, while it does seem plausible it's very early for real spoilers.

There's some text with the spoilers, I've translated best I can:

Isshin saves Ichigo. Ichigo and Icchin realise they can't defeat Yhwach with power. Icchin says that as he has his mother's eyes, he needs to use the power of seduction. The guy doesn't say whether it works or not, but apparently Ichigo transforms again. And then the guy just talks about the rumours of Bleach's background artist getting his own spin-off based around Ichigo's left testicle.
