ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
>yachiru is a sword even though she had her own zanpaktou and shi-kai
wat
wait what
>>139366834
They're ghosts, ain't got to explain shit.
>>139366744
>bankai
This must be a new record.
>this whole chapter
BANKAI TIME. YES.
>what's next? gonna demonstrate your powers?
Is kubo literally kuboing himself at this point?
So is Yachiru Kenpachi's tulpa or something?
OHOHOHO. Next week can't come soon enough.
>inb4 switch to other people
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GO INTO MAXIMUM OVER KENPACHI
>>139366744
>Kenpachis Bankai
Oh fuck, this is going to be good.
>>139366744
Can someone explain exactly what the deal is. It's still a bit sketchy
>>139366834
>Kenpachi is so damn strong to the point his reiatsu can materialize Zanpakutou's spirit and it's own zanpakutou's abilities out of thin air.
Literally who was sword?
>Yachiru was sword all along
How did you not see this coming
>>139367070
Not to mention her zanpakutou also materialize into 2 beings as well.
>kubo knows
>>139367030
Should I bother saying this doesn't even make any sense?
No chapter next week.
Shit we have to waut two weeks to see Kenny's bankai.
>>139367165
>bleach
>sense
>>139367165
She's teaching him how to Bankai.
>>139367186
Yeah, I shouldn't have bothered.
>>139367165
How does it not make sense? People have been saying Yachiru is Kenpachis bankai for years now. It's the most obvious plot twist ever, it makes perfect sense and thats why absolutely everyone predicted it.
>>139367070
Spirit materialization is required for anybody looking to unlock bankai. However, Kenpachi did it unconsciously for a zanpakuto he had no idea how to communicate with and fucking moved in with the spirit like she was an adoptive daughter.
What's even stranger is that said sword spirit aged. Maybe a subtle way of showing how Kenpachi slowly unlocked his repressed power?Also in that zanpakuto are manifestations of the user's soul projected onto an asauchi, what the fuck part of Kenpachi's soul decided to show up like a little girl.Probably the /a/ is in him too.
>>139367237
The sword wasn't originally his, he didn't get it as an asauchi, it was abandoned.
Kenpachi bankai what will it do? Destroy the planet maybe? I hope it doesn't look as lame as his shikai.
>yfw it is kidou based
>>139367222
Yachiru had a flashback about Kenpachi finding her on the side of the road. Somehow people are able to see her and interact with her. Also need I remind you she's a cute little girl with pink hair? These two are probably the oddest shinigami/zanpakuto pair we've ever come across. It's cute, but still stupdi as fuck. Literally Tobi is Obito tier.
>>139367329
No it'sThe Kaidou
>>139366744
many called it. all of them were right.
>>139367290
I'm guessing it'll have something to do with Yachiru's ghosts ability. After all, it's what she used and she IS him.
>>139366744
nothign makes sense anymore, what a fucking ride.
>>139367144
It's not even the first time
>>139367329
Kubo please do it
It's not like you need to respect yourself as a writer after this, do it.
>>139367282
Might have been an asauchi when it was abandoned. Also going out on a limb and saying that even if it was a proper zanpakuto, any development it might have had got stomped out by Kenpachi's indomitable spirit (as opposed to Tosen who picked his waifu's sword and used it as it was).
>>139367356
Yoruichi seemed to be able to interact with "Zangetsu" when Ichigo was bankai training.
>>139367282
Why did sword screams when Kenpachi uses it, was mentioned by Ichigo's spirit zanpakuto?
Did it split itself in order to communicate Kenpachi since screaming does jackshit until he became adult?
>BANKAI
>>139367411
Yoruichi had a special device created by Urahara for this very purpose. You know, the mannequin like thing.
>>139367329
Obviously, it's a magicalgirl transformation.
>>139367453
We see this often lately and this still excites you?
Why?
>>139367070
we are aware that sword spirits can relatively "easily" get out of their sword since Ichigo bankai training. It needed a proper tool, not real strength. Same with Zampakutou rebelion arc, based on Kubo's approved concept. and of course the fact many shinigami have "summon" type power were their spirit enter the battle
>>139367477
Literally been waiting 80% of the series to see Urahara and Zaraki's bankais.
>>139367477
Because it's fucking Kenpachi
>>139367477
Not him, but recently we've been getting bankais from people we long wanted to see use them.
>>139367030

Will our universe be able to withstand this, should I prepare my apocalypse shelter
>hi Ken-chan it's me
>btw here bankai
Garbage chapter and development
>Yachiru's hair accessories are bones
Ah why did I not see this coming.
Remember when Bankai took hundreds of years of training to achieve?
>>139367613
Because they weren't there before, stupid.
>>139367433
Seems that way, like a Stark/Lilynette kind of deal, after all the sword itself did say "so you can finally hear me" despite having already existed partially as Yachiru all that time.
>>139367644
It never took hundreds, it took maybe decades, and Kenpachi's actually had all the time, he had already long since met the requirements, he simply couldn't open his mind enough to accept it yet.
>>139366744
That was bullshitteus maximus, even by Kubo standards.
>>139367644
Remember when Menos Grande was a big deal?
Remember when Vastro Lorde could destroy Soul Society on their own?
Well anything can happen from this point onwards. Aizen better reveal his bankai soon.
![latest[2].png](https://i.imgur.com/Dc8YvkQ.png "latest[2].png")
>>139367356
Isn't everybody able to materialize their bankai, but they don't since there's no point? pic related
Also Yachiru probably materialized on her own, since remember Zaraki never believed all this magical sword bullshit, he only saw his zanpaktou as an ordinary sword
>>139367477
Bleachtruds are simple-minded faglords, what did you expect?
>>139367433
Old man Zangetsu said it screamed out of agony because Kenpachi didn't use it correctly. However, we have to consider, that the old man wasn't exactly Zangetsu. He was quincy powers posing as a zanpakuto. He was probably guessing.
If he was right, it was about Kenpachi not releasing the sword. Having a high spirit pressure without releasing a sword might be painful for a sword. Especially if it reflects the bloodthirst of its owner.
I think that the old man Zangetsu was wrong. Yachiru wasn't in pain. She was watching and enjoying the fight. Yachiru is sword. Therefore, the sword wasn't screaming in agony. It was screaming in joy, since Kenpachi finally found a fighting partner worth a damn. Yachiru mentioned that a bit later.
>>139367686
both are technically accurate. Rukia was low tier at the time, hence the need of at least a vice captain to deal with them. Vastos were also a big deal, since the only time we saw one go all out it required Kubo asspull Ichigod mode.
I like how even after a year, this chapter name is still appropriate.
>>139367166
Wait seriously?
the twist is that she is the one saying Bankai. Ken was her sword al along.
How many of you are more hype to see aizen bankai?
>>139367777
Nononononononono. I fucking swear to god...
>>139367777
That's bullshit but I will take over this any day.
>>139367644
>achieve
we have known from day one that it's just the sword desire to allow it. It's not much abot training hard than about bonding with your weapon.
>>139367066
Everybody 7-8 years ago: "yo I think Yachiru is his bankai"
Kubo: Nope
Today: Yachiru is his Bankai
>>139367735
at least we're not man children getting excited with elephants
>>139367747
>asspull
>implying white ichigo did not mentioned if he dies, he'll take over in hollow form WHILE in Hunceo Mundo's power boost for hollows that was confirmed by Chad's feeling
>>139367809
>we have known from day one that it's just the sword desire to allow it. It's not much abot training hard than about bonding with your weapon.
Yeah right.
Just like that one time when Ichibei told Renji his 'true' Bankai name right? That sure required lots of bonding.
What a load of horseshit.
HOW CAN KUBO DO IT
HOW DOES HE MANAGE TO EVERY TIME PULL ME BACK TO THIS MANGA
HE SHOULD NOT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
HE SHOULD NOT
>>139367823
you can really feel the popularity drop and Kubo letting fan theory take over.
Looks like ichihime is next.
>>139367777
That would be a twist, also it's never said clearly that she IS the sword. She's just unlocking the bankai
>the loli is actually his bankai
Kubo doesn't even try anymore.
>>139367721
I'm pretty sure only users can see them when they materialize, the Bound Arc being a notable exception. I do remember your pic though. But I don't remember in what circumstances that happened.
>>139367777
Thousandth level kubo
>>139367777
Holy Shit, yes, I want this
>>139367823
Did anyone even think of this especially 7-8 years ago?
She was a vice captain at the time, it does not occurs to anyone thinking of that. I bet my left nut on that one.
>>139367823
Nope yachiru is nozarashi zanpaktou spirit. She is going to teach him to achieve bankai instantly.
>>139367843
Dude that's literally that. Not linked to training. The sword has everything from day one. The name is just another trust issue.
>>139367777
stop this madness
So when this thing finally ends it's actually going to end, right?
We're not going to get some new manga called 'Preach' starring Ichigo and Orihime's daughter or anything, right?
>>139367873
It's when Renji appeared during Ichigos bankai training, I had the feeling Ichigo could see the gorila
>>139367885
Nah I do remember people used to say this. Nobody payed attention though. It was just another bullshit theory that had a good ring to it, like Naruto's father being the leader of the Akatsuki or Tobi = Obito.
>>139367644
Well ichigo and urahara are exceptions thanks to 3 day bankai training method they use. For kenpachi kubo will just give some bullshit explanation for him to achieve bankai instantly through yachiru help.
>>139366744
But guys, Zaraki's bankai has already been revealed. Or have you forgotten?
>>139367721
>Isn't everybody able to materialize their bankai, but they don't since there's no point? pic related
No, it's an achievement and a crucial step towards bankai release. Renji reached that point some hours or maybe a day before.
Consider this. Kenpachi met all requirements years before even reaching shikai. He was able to materialize his zanpakuto, almost the instant he found a vessel (asauchi) for it. He knows how to subdue his zanpakuto. The loli is loyal to the core as he practically raised her. Even though shikai should have popped out by itself from all the pressure, Kenpachi managed to keep it sealed in order to limit himself. All that was left was reaching shikai.
Now consider this. Imagine a creep like Unohana knew all of this. Imagine how retarded it must have looked to her.
>>139367854
Fuck off, you clinical retard
>>139367957
>Well ichigo and urahara are exceptions thanks to 3 day bankai training method they use.
Except now we know Ichigo's bankai wasn't a bankai and it was all a ruse by Urahara to use technology to bring out Ichigo's Yhwach-powers.
bankai reveal = convenient counter power time.
what's the opposite of miracles? Catastrophies? Science? getsuga tenshou? Cute loli smiles and candies?
Yachiru's smile IS, for fact, a miracle of the universe, right?
>>139367646
They are there since the timeskip, speed reader kun
>>139367871
She's his Zanpakutou's spirit you fucking garbage speedreader
>>139367957
>For kenpachi kubo will just give some bullshit explanation for him to achieve bankai instantly through yachiru help.
Easy, she trusts him. Unlike Renji's zanpakuto giving him a false bankai name.
Besides, does a Kenpachi need a training to get a Bankai?
>>139367777
Pls by those digits pls Kubo
>>139367955
it didn't took off because at the time Kubo stated that she wasn't a zanpakutou but a real person
>>139367989
Does urahara even know about that? I doubt it.
>>139367990
The power to overcome miracles
Yfw it'stwoswords
>>139367945
Oh yeah I remember now. Yeah I agree, Renji showed it to him on purpose. But whether that was because Renji used the very device Ichigo used that made Zangetsu appear, or because anyone can materialize their zanpakuto for everyone to see, I wouldn't know.
>>139367030
SHIPPED
>>139368019
He did? Well I suppose there's more to it than it appears then. At least I hope so.
>>139367222
We've been saying it ever since Soul Society arc. The people who didn't believe it are the same retards that convinced themselves that Tobi was not in fact Obito all along. The relationship between 4chan and nuance is much like that of oil and water. Even when the nuance is about as subtle as a brick to the face.

>Remember when Vastro Lorde could destroy Soul Society on their own?
We still don't know how strong Ulquiorra was in relation to the rest of the Bleach universe, as his fight with Ichigo practically took place in a vacuum. It's entirely plausible that he could have crushed SS on his own.
conidering the titles of the chapter, bankai is gonna be a daft punk title too, right?
I could see the title just be "daft punk" though
>Yachiru is the one who said bankai

>Yamamoto was his teacher but then Exodia happened
it's going to be a support, magic type.
Literally area sized resurect and healing spell, proportional to the damage done before going bankai. It's plot convenient because it brings all the good guys and waifu back, and can't be used ever again.
Hitsugay will kill miracle dude anyway.
>>139367959
Actually wondering if Kubo will ever do anything about this again. Like maybe a new Sokyoku to defeat Yhwach at the end?
As in the only thing that could possibly kill a God or something.
>>139368069
What did Yachiru mean by this?
>stop giving a fuck about Bleach for literally 4 years
>click this thread for a lark
>ZARAKI BANKAI
I'M BACK BABY
I'M BACK
The Yachiru is sword theory has been confirmed for years now... and somehow people still think this is an asspull?
Honestly I'm just glad we got to see Yachiru one more time. What are the chances her Shikai is actually part of Kenpachi''s bankai?
Hope everyone's ready for Tengen Toppa Kenpachi
>>139368281
Fuck yourself.
>>139367955
Fuck you, it wasn't a bullshit theory and there were entire threads about it. You're just mad because you were wrong after talking so much shit for so long.
I feel like this miracle dude is fuelled by his own confidence. He'll doubt his miracles and lose, just like the imagination kid.
We told you reading level 0 faggots Yachiru was sword
Kenpachi had bankai qualifications from a long while because of his reiatsu and the fact that he has been going around with his materialized sword spirit ALL THE FUCKING TIME
The inconscious limiter he put on himself restrained him from releasing his sword. After the Unohana fight that stopped and the sword could start activating itself up to full strenght.
The only retarded thing is Kenpachi still using an eyepatch if he understood limiting his power was retarded. I guess he just enjoys fighting like that, reasons aside.
Bonus: Ken-chan's sword is Nozarashi, based on a giant hungry skellington youkai. Yachiru has a skellington hairpin
>Yachiru was sword all along
>>139368351
Stay mad kid, just because it turns out to be true doesn't mean it's not bullshit.
It's gonna be some gold experience shit where they recieve a wound over and over eternally or something
It's gonna be OP as fuck whatever it is
>yachiru was sword
well, you guys win
>>139368356
Nah, I think it's more an OP version of Mask De Masculine.

>>139368395
Yachiru's sword ability was cutting in the past, present and the future. Imagine that ability combined with Zaraki's power? I'm having a tough time imagining how OP that would be.
>>139368286

I hope Kubo goes maximum overheart and has like six completely blank pages and then it zooms out to show a mirror, to imply that the reader was Zaraki's bankai all along.
so is ken a pedophile?
>>139368515

Nah it just appeared one day and they were like "eh, okay, whatever".
Mostly it's so people don't print counterfeit tanks.

Nah we suspected it ever since the V fight at least.

No. Sure, people have been saying it for a long time, but it has been confirmed only now.

...I don't think it's an asspull though. It kinda makes sense, especially for bleach's logic standards.
> What are the chances her Shikai is actually part of Kenpachi''s bankai?
I hope it isn't...doesn't seem like it'd fit Zaraki's character.
>>139368630
This. I mean she had to have gone through the academy so what he fuck?
Is Kenpachi just literally insane? Is this just Afterlife Fight club? Is he really just a crazy guy yelling at his sword and pretending its a little girl cause hes lonely/A pervert?
Kenpachi confirmed for Schizophrenic
>>139368701
Zaraki's just that strong, it allows his zanpakuto have it's own zanpakuto by sheer reiatsu.
>>139368630
Maybe they just didn't want to tell him. You know, let the retard be.
>>139368705
I think you're clouding your mind away from Yumichika for Zaraki.
>>139368763
I like the theory that Unohana knew and it drove her crazy that Ken was too stupid to figure it out.
>>139368456
Oh shit that's gonna be OP as fuck
Yachiru is psycho-Madoka:

>Impossible! I-is this the true power of pink haired lolis? uarghhh
>>139367466
When Renji materialized Zabimaru
Others were able to see the ape too
Everything in Bleach is just reishi. If you have a lot of it, I imagine you can create physical objects like manifestations of your zanpakuto.
>>139368803
Debunked theory, there are no time shenanigans with Yachiru's attacks.
>>139368701
Zangetsu used himself
>you now realize Vanishing Point vs Yachiru was actually a proxy spirit fight between Gremmy and Kenpachi
>>139368776
>Zanpakutou are reflection of your soul
>Kenpachis sosul has a reflection of its own soul
>Kenpachis soul has 2 souls
It all comes full circle.
>>139368700
Well, how should they even notice? They all have spirit bodies. She has a spirit body. She's moving on her own and does not fade away. She developed her own zanpakuto power after receiving an asauchi. It's not unheard that a mere child develops powers above seated officers. She proved herself to be more shinigami-like than Kenpachi.
It would probably take a specialist to simply realize that something's off with her. The afrosmith would have figured it out. Maybe Hikifune too.
>>139368811
Please refer to it as the rape ape.
>>139367868
>it's never said clearly
Ofcourse the vast majority of humans has the ability to add 2+2 together and doesn't need something spelled out for them to understand what is going on.
>>139368853
Gremmy Vs Kenpachi seems so much more ironic now.
How the fuck did Gremmy even break Yachiru's bones if she doesn't exist?
>>139368700
They'd have no way of knowing, like when Ichigo first went to Nimaiya's palace and they were all in human forms.
Isane might have been the first to suspect there was something good different about her when we saw her 'shikai'.
Or perhaps Unohana suspected it all along, but never told anyone.

She doesn't have shikai, you fuckin' fag.
There was no release command, the sword didn't change, nothin'.
It's just an ability of the zanpaktou.
It's just an ability of hers.
>>139368896
ugh, spirit racist much?
>>139368840
Not so fast you faggot
She's the spirit manifestation. She's related to his power, but not exactly the same. It's methaporic.
Renji, for example, doesn't have his literal spirit as a weapon. But it has the monkey paw and the snake poison parts of the chimera.
You just wait
>>139368700
That sword maker nigga said eevery spirit who holds an asauchi can become a shinigami.
There is no hindrance stopping a sword spirit to become a shinigami
Someone make a list of shikai/bankai we need to see before dropping this shit please.
>>139367777
Isn't Ken sword in moon?HAPPENING
>>139367222
Woah slow down.
People didn't "predict" anything. They came up with a theory and Kubo stole it.
>>139368217
It did look a little like reiatsu was flooding Zaraki, maybe healing or empowering him, so if thats Yachiru's bankai, that could be the effect, buffing her allies or some shit to extreme levels.
>>139368860
>she developed her own zanpakuto power
Nah, that wasn't a zanpakuto, remember what that tall bitch said?
>>139367282
>The sword wasn't originally his, he didn't get it as an asauchi, it was abandoned.
A zanpaktou doesn't really gain powers until a user's soul has been sort of "fused" with it.
It's why tousen could use his lover's sword and still manifest abilities that suited him.
Goddamnit, this has been explained already in the manga itself.
Not fucking everything is an asspull, sometimes it's just you being a retard.
>>139368700
Maybe someone actually does but choose to stay silent instead?
So kenpachi's shikai is just a bigger sword?
What kind of bullshit ability you think he's gonna get with bankai?
>>139368999
The only bankai left that matters is Aizen's, and it's been speculated before that maybe his shikai was his bankai all along, etc.
Ukitake's and Yoruichi's don't matter because they've both revealed powers that supercede the literary need for a bankai.
>tfw kubo already made sexual relationships between shingami and their swords canon
>>139366834
>implying Oetsu's 5 Sword Bitches aren't zanpaktou
>implying they don't have any skills of their own
>getting confused this easily
>>139369031
Who in fuck's name said it was an asspull, retard? Maybe you should read the fucking thread.
>>139369023
So much denial.
>>139367329
Hey, at least pretty boy won't feel the need to hide his OP release then, either.
>>139369042
Haven't you noticed that what he's holding is basically just a hilt?
fuck this manga
I'm gonna be here again next week though.
>>139368763
>I mean she had to have gone through the academy so what he fuck?
I don't think everyone has to, especially in the 11th division. If I recall right, Ikkaku and Yumichika suddenly joined the Gotei 13 and entered the 11th division after hearing that Zaraki became captain.
>>139369042
>kenpachi's shikai cuts anything
>yachiru's hits the enemy even if they dodge
it's going to be something absurd like a hundred swords moving in unison with his blade
>>139369074
What incentive do I have to deny that Kubo had this planned since 10+ years ago?
Calm down chaps! wait until next chapter and i'm sure we'll get a "grand kubo" explanation. Stop jumping to conclusions mates.
Also Hirako, Love and Isshin.
>>139368763
>Is Kenpachi just literally insane? Is this just Afterlife Fight club? Is he really just a crazy guy yelling at his sword?
I wonder where I've seen this before
>>139367644
Zaraki's been communicating and bonding with his zanpaktou literally every moment of every day for as long as he can remember.
>Aizen
>Bankai
Didn't he lose his zanpakuto
>>139368126
>pegida: I AM LITERALLY PART OF GOD

>>139368896
Because she exist. The whole point of her being around him this whole time is that she is the physical manifestation of his zanpakuto.
>>139367357
oh my god it's leaking out
>>139368069
>Nozarashi release phrase is "Drink"
what does she drink? and what's the bankai's release command?
>>139369211
>what's the bankai's release command?
"Bankai."
>>139369211
>what does she drink?
Blood, what else? Sorry to ruin your fun.
>people sperging about spirits not making sense
>when talking about a manga where basically every non-human is actually already a spirit in some sense
Its more Soul Society being like medieval japan with super powers instead of behaving like actual spirits that makes no sense.
>>139367777
It all makes sense!
Kenpachi = Ken-chan
Ken = Sword
Kubo pls
>>139368776
-Zaraki's sword spirit is yachiru
-Sword spirits are technically hollows
>hollows can splinter and have Fraccion
Yachiru as a hollow is a decently powerful being by itself, able to have fraccion
Reminder also she handled Vanishing Point, and Gremmy's quincies are as good as real ones
Reminder also in her fight against Vanishing, she was said to have "hollow-like" instincts (because she IS a hollow)
Reminder also that Isane said her sword isn't "normal"
>>139369230
Hurrrr Hyuuuur Durrr
>>139369043
Hold your horses. I wanna see Shuehi's bankai too. Kensei was training him to learn it, before the invasion and considering how everyone and their dog have learned it, I'm assuming Kubo gave it to him too.
It's probably gonna be weak as fuck, but I still wanna see it. I always like kazeshini's shikai.
>>139369211
Watch Rakugo for the full meaning. It's a famous japanese story about pouring sake on bones so their ghost can come back.
The guy in it pours sake on a pretty woman's bones and spends his life with her ghost.
>>139367030
Edgy cutie.
>>139367777
NONONONONONONOONOOOOOOOOOOO
NO FUCKING WAY
KUBOOOOOOOOOO
>>139369072
But he's right and you're a fag.
>>139369281
>his bankai just revives Unohana to fight with him
>Swords are a manifestation of the soul
>Kenpachi's sword manifests as a cheeky little girl
Has there ever been a character that more embodies /a/?
>>139369026
Cmon. Vice captains aren't all-knowning experts on zanpakuto. She was just taken back by the oddity of this release.
She said
>I can't believe a shikai like this exists...
because it escaped her logic how this power was supposed to work. The blade didn't transform, but it also didn't create an effect out of simple materials, like icefaggot-kun's sword. For her, it was too complex to fit any type of shikai she knows.
Since some people are arguing over Yachiru's zanpakuto ability, I want to cite some of Yachiru's lines.
>My blade is a copycat sword.
>In front of and behind my blade, my every move is being traced and copied.
>So, the entire space in my field of vision... even if I miss it, someone will hit it.
>Cmon out, Sanpo Kenjuu (triple stride sword beast)!
So, let me get this straight. You retards only read Bleach just to complain about Kubo's "Asspulls"
Damn, has /a/ become shit or what.. amirite.
>>139369347
If his bankai is a Unohana-ghost summon, I wouldn't even be mad.
That would be the hypest shit.
>>139369395
>In front of and behind my blade, my every move is being traced and copied.
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH SWORDS, KING OF SOULS?
>>139369395
>The blade didn't transform, but it also didn't create an effect out of simple materials
Kyoka Suigetsu doesn't do that either btw...and I'm not implying that's realated to Yachiru's situation, just pointing that out.
>>139367707
he had said that after the magic rock transformation, his sword became useless.
could be baiting of course to undermine his mirror flower.
>>139369402
your post is a fucking asspull, m8
>>139369402
>implying complaining isn't enjoying
Is Shinji relevant yet? No? Ok
>>139369395
This ability shits on Komamura's entire zanpaktou so hard.
It's good he's just a dog now, he's been completely outclassed as a shinigami.
His grandpa was at least scarred, so maybe he also has some fighting ability as a dog?
Would he fuck his own bankai?
>>139369485
But he still used an ability, similar to what his zanpaktou could do, to distort Ywach's sense of time when he was with him.
>inb4 bankai's ability is like dota hero where you challenged the enemy hero to a duel
>inb4 it lowers Miracle's fighting power to match that of Zaraki/Yachiru (whoever isnt the sword)
>inb4 fight to the death inside a reality marble
>inb4 fight can last forever
Im still waiting for the reveal of Ichigo being YHWHs Bankai.
So, does this mean Orihime six faeries represent her six Zanpakutos?
Does this mean she has six different Bankais?
>>139368469
>who said bankais can't bankai?
>infinite bankai work
>>139369625
The one on the bottom right is hot
>>139368630
why would they? she's a normal girl and has her own zanpakutou, it's not like she has horns or fur or a dragon tail
>>139369649
>not the big burly dude
It's like you not even a glorious faggot or something.
>>139369600
Ichigo's final Hollow form with Ulquiorra vs. Yhwach
Please....
>>139366834
at this point's it's pretty much confirmed that Kubo is Japan's Xzibit

>so I give zanpaktou to your zanpaktou
