New chapter is out
Yachiru~
It's basically confirmed she is sword.
We still don't know Kenpachi's Shikai ability
bump for when the other gets to page 10
As someone who only reads Bleach anymore only to find out how they end this shitfest, I was surprised that this recent chapter was so good. Then again I think I've only ever liked Zaraki's scenes during the last several years.
>mangafox
>Still has the mangastream watermark
Fuck those cocksuckers
>>139384066
>sword got bigger
what else could you possibly need
>>139384066
Not all Shikai have an inherent ability; in fact it's frowned upon to have such a sword in the 11th division.
>>139383997
doesn't this chapter basically confirm the theory about yachiru being kenpachi's bankai?
>>139385074
Not yet. She's definitely related to it, but she doesn't have to be Nozarashi. She could have been created by Nozarashi for example. So that Kenpachi would finally notice him.
>>139385074
Basically, yes.
Ken is Yachiru's Zanpakuto.
>>139385226
Your mom is my dick's zanpakuto.
Kubo does it again.
>>139385318
As always, the faithful are rewarded
>>139383997
In the flashback Kenpachi asked baby Yachiru where she comes from. Baby Yachiru answered by touching Kenpachi's sword. Well played Kubo.
>>139384066
It cuts good, what the fuck more do you want?
>>139383997
>You will never have a cute loli telling you to use her properly
>>139385392
>You will never rise to her demand and show her your raging hard raised resolve to do as much
I was really hoping Yachiru wasn't the fucking sword. How can people see Kenpachi's sword spirit?
So what perfect counter to his enemy Bankai will he have?
>>139385447
>>139385450
I'm more intereseted in how Byakuya and Icefail will react to Kenpachi just releasing bankai out of his ass
>>139383997
I freaking called it as soon Yachiru disappeared
>>139385447
The same reason Ichigo and Renji saw Nimaya's Zanpakto harem. Or when Cang Du saw Hyorinmaru.
>>139385447
Because he's the mother fuckin' Kenpachi.
>>139385447
>How can people see Kenpachi's sword spirit?
This was explained during Ichigo's stay at the Royal palace when he was training with sword-nigga.
>gotta use her properly
>shit-eating grin on his face
>Ban

>entire page of OMG faces
>the smoke clears
>he's holding Nozarashi with two hands
neither of them are shinigami
both are swords who decided to take soulreaper form for fun
>>139385447
He has immense reiatsu. It wouldn't be so farfetched for it to be so abundant that someone could not only sense it but also see it.
>>139383997
So is this abilty then also a part of Kenpachi?And maybe part of his bankai?
POETRY
>>139385447
Fuck that, how can Yachiru have a different reiatsu than the sword?
>>139385350
Aw, shit.
>>139385685
Kenpachis are like ogres.
>>139385685
Because fuck you Yachiru does what she wants.
>>139385520
Some people were calling it ever since SS arc
>>139385350
Has anyone that gif where Kubo apllauds with Mimihagi and Pernida as his hands?

reposting from earlier
The Gashadokuro are spirits that take the form of giant skeletons and are fifteen times taller than an average person,
said to be created from the amassed bones of people who died of starvation
aka Nozarashi:exposed in a field o the suns rays.
These Yokai roam after midnight, grabbing lone travelers and biting off their heads to
drink their spraying blood the blood splatter vs unohana 'The Drop' and the fact he is fighting The HEART of the soul king. There is a tell sign as the victim would hear the sound of loud ringinghis hair bellsin the ear. The Gashadokuro are said to possess the powers of invisibilityyachiru disappearing
and indestructibilityZaraki being the unDeadthough Shinto charms
are said to ward them offSHINTO aka Nanao was able to tell him off earlier. and to top it all he rests his shikai on the shoulders where yachiru used to sit...
in this arc when he wanted to leave to fight
>>139385840
Yep, sword with a sword, so she's into forbidden love, and I would think from the nature of her sword being two other beings, she's into threeways, maybe foursomes.
>>139385447
Don't be dumb anon. Remember Lilinette and Stark.
Someone so powerful can be born, that he divides into two entities so that he won't feel lonely anymore, and the other entity is physically real while they're divided.
However to reach full power again, they once more had to become one.
Your sword spirit is your inner self, when he was just discovering himself after losing to Unohana, it was created, it was little more than a baby at first who didn't remember itself. He subconsciously gave her form when he was sitting in the woods one day feeling alone, thinking about Unohana. Then they grew up together, neither having a name but both feeling comfortable with each other right away for some mysterious reason. When normally he would have killed anyone who got that close to him before that point. They both felt like they were linked, and they were.
We've had hints she was his sword since the first appearances though, this was a theory even before Stark showed up, although it had very little basis at first.
>>139385602
I actually really loved this skill. simple but broken as fuck
>>139385520
You're no specail snowflake nigger. Everyone that has a 5th grade reading level knew this long before that ever happened.
>>139385447
I'm starting to believe that ken-chan is going the Stark route: so powerful that he ended up dividing his soul in 2
>Kenpachi: "Aah, you were at my side all along. My true mentor....my guiding moonlight."
>>139385900
Kubo plz
>>139385900
oow kubo , once again.
>>139385589
Is that why people can see Orihime's fairies? It all makes sense.
>>139385589
a example of that is Ulquiorra, his reiatsu was so powerful that you could not only see it but physically feel it.
>>139385900
Kubo'd once again.
Feels good.
>>139385683
To convince your enemies, you must first convince yourself.
Aizen's role was one of someone facing a challenge. So he played that role, and he had to do it thoroughly, so everything, down to his facial tics, perspiration, muscle movements, etc. would utterly convince the puppets of the reality he had constructed for them.
Aizen's basically just a massive dick and troll (a squamous troll dick?). Everything he does is so he can pop up and go "LOL, I was only pretending to be retarded! Also, that's a 14 year old girl and I'm over here in a lounge chair sipping a mocha latte. OR AM I?! kekekeke"
>>139385602
Yes, Yachiru's shikai is just Zaraki's Bankai.
muh skull reiatsu
>>139385685
Zaraki took his sword off of somebody he killed.
>>139385350
Yup. Normally when Kubo does "Foreshadowing" I'm like, "Oh c'mon, that's completely recursive!"
But this seems pretty deliberate. Well played indeed.
>>139386101
>>139386115
>>139386272
>>139386300
notice yachiru appeared long after he fought unohana. their clash created life. im now expecting yachiru herself to mature along with kennys way of the sword. expect a pink titty sword goddess.
>>139386300
>Zaraki took his sword off of somebody he killed.
He took an asauchi of a dead person and as is typical, imprinted his soul or whatever on it.
The sword should still have the same reiatsu as the spirit of it, which is Yachiru.
>>139385520
It's been a popular theory for a long time because of how unusual Yachiru was as a character.
>>139386421
Please not
>>139383997
>use me properly
I'd use her properly. Too bad I gave up on this series back in "Who-Wei Co. Moon-Doh" and therefore have no idea what's good
>>139383997
Adult Yachiru Nozarashi??
I was thinking I wouldn't ever be Kubo'd again since the last one was the Zangetsu/Ywach reveal and the manga seemed to have lost steam since then.
Then this happens.
>>139386421
So not only was Unohana an immoral murdering fuckface, whose only moment of regret and contrition was in not being able to viciously murder a random little boy, but she also conceived a child with said little boy?
>>139386421
So...like the gigai in Happy to Serve You?
>>139386542
Hueco Mundo is probably the worst part of the entire manga, if you can make it past that you should be able to get through it all. The Fullbringer arc is also pretty dull but it's very short and has a madcap twist in the final leg of it that makes up for the dullness of earlier chapters. Then after that it's pretty much Mr. Kubo's Wild Ride for like 100 straight chapters.
>>139385447
Fuck that how can his sword have its own shikai and also exist when he is in a near death/passed out state
>>139386566
Best girl indeed
>>139386566
clash of reiatsu imprinted on the sword. kenny didnt even know and still called the little girl Yachiru. note that the second time they clashed the sword changed AGAIN and we got the shikai contact...
>>139386569
remind me again plz?
Anyone else is getting the feeling that Kubo wants to get done with the individual Shinigami stories, so that he can focus on the actual Quincy story once that is done. He has barely touched upon the story relevant stuff. I only hope there will be enough Quincy left once he does that. Would suck if Kubo now focuses on the Quincy story, but not on the QUincy because they are all dead.
I still dont know how a shinigami has a captain level zanpakuto running around
>>139386802
Thought it was obvious he was stalling the story with these needlessly drawn out fights.
>>139386802
Quincy story isn't important. He'll go into the background of the Soul King and Yhwach, but I bet it's all covered in a chapter or two.
>>139386798
Yachiru in a grown-up gigai working as a waitress at a Hooters expy. Along with most of the rest of the cast.

Hitsugaya had a point, though. Kenpachi was struggling.
>>139387668
>>139383997
>Yachiru is sword
But then who was phone?
Guys, what if Zaraki's bankaiwill be his jagged as fuck katana?
>>139386936
Whatever happened to that woman in his room? I've heard theories ranging from "She was Barragan's sex slave from his flashback" to "She's Gremmy's mother because they have the same hair color and eyes".
>>139388281
That was Tier Harribel. Nobody seemed to care, though.
>>139388308
Do you mean the woman in Haschwalth's room or Barrgan's slave? Both were white though.
Zaraki's bankai is summoning yachiru who summons her bankai
>>139388374
Right, shit, fuck, I am an idiot.
I assume she was his fucktoy. Sternritters seemed to have them.
>>139388214
I would never doubt Kubo again. That would be in line to Zaraki's character to use his own grit, and weapon. At the same time though, if he finally learned to work together with someone other than himself; like his bankai. Then I would see nothing wrong with that either. This can only go two ways.
Also has somebody noticed that in previous chapter Byakuya deliberately said that "something called constant release never existed"? Is that in any way related to Ichigo and have I missed a discussion about that a week ago?
>Yachiru's power is "fighting together" with her summoned beats, which clearly mirrors her and kenapchi
>Zaraki's bankai is fighting together with Yachiru, both of them become gigantic versions of those beats
>>139388540
Yes, the new theory is Ichigo never actually achieved bankai. His "bankai" was actually his released shikai. So his huge unsightly sword was actuslly just in its normal state the entire time, andnot actually his always released shikai. We have yet seen his bankai at all.
>>139388416
Bambietta did regularly invite men into her room. But she probably only pretended to do so and straight up killed. Probably did only some teasing. Candice did often with the men and let them live and Giselle has Bambietta. Cute little Jugo was most likely his majesties. Sternritter B the Bitch or the Bondage.
>>139388647
>We have yet seen his bankai at all.
What about when he beat Aizen?
Next chapter Kenpachi will say something like "It's not a one on one, I'm fighting together with Yachiru."

>>139388540
>>139388647
This is also building off the fact that both his 'bankai' and 'shikai' before were fakes made by his Quincy power to try and trick him into abandoning his Shinigami side.
>>139388647
Yup, exactly my thoughts after reading that chapter. Well... I guess it would make sense that Kubo would go batshit mad to make any sense whatsoever on how Ichigo is going to defeat Yhwach and his fellowship. But does that also mean that Ichigo actually defeated bankai Byakuya using only his shikai? And everyone else he defeated fell to just his released state?
Also I kept on thinking about this one and I've got a theory of my own. A shikai should be just the sword changing into something else. So why does Tensa grant Ichigo a coat of reiatsu? My theory is that the coat is manifestation of Ichigo's mom and her effort to protect her son. Your thoughts?
These recent chapters have been great. I laughed like a madman at those last few pages.
New Bleach game when?
This trio is so fucking wierd.
Kenpachi calls Nozarashi Yachiru, even though he knows who Yachiru is and actually killed her lately. Now he'll have to call Yachiru Nozarashi even though he's used to calling her Yachiru and it is a quintessential part of their relationships that he gave her that name?
>>139388705
I alway figure that was just a technique Ichigo's dad taught him to fully release all shinigami powers at the cost of losing it. Like Ururu did with his fight with Mayuri.
>>139385283
My dick is your mom's zanpakuto.
>>139385447
>you will never be so strong that your sword literally becomes a shinigami lieutenant with its own personal abilities.
I want to make love to Rukia in the missionary position for the purposes of procreation and bonding.
>>139388794
The fact that Ichigo was that powerful to beat Byakuya in his Shikai is one thing, but remember white popped in the help him when he was bleeding out. Ichigo also beat Zaraki in his regurlar release state too. So their power were pretty static at the time and even. Ichigo just has a shit load of retsiu.
>>139388850
The bankai is the true name anyway. It could easily be some japanese play on words that comes out to be yachiru but mean something else
>>139389009
it was implied she was stronger than lieutenant. They wanted to make Ikkaku a captain and she is stronger than he is
>>139389009
>Implying Kenpachi's Bankai won't be Yachiru's Shikai
>discussing ten year old asspulls from a shitty manga
C'mon. Just, c'mon.
>>139389126
What about yachiru's bankai?
>>139389107
>They wanted to make Ikkaku a captain
Only Renji did. Ikkaku has the weakest Bankai. If anyone with a Bankai would fail the captain exam, it's him.
>>139389144
>Coming into a thread just to diss people discussing ten year old asspulls from a shitty manga.
C'mon. Just, c'mon.
>>139389067
Don't we all
>>139388850
Yachiru is just the name he gave her based after the first Kenpachi, it wasn't her official name or anything. He can still call her yachiru if he wants, it won't undo her powers or anything.
>>139388794
As for the coat. She did absorb white, and passed white down to Ichigo at birth. So it is not unfounded that her influenced on white all this time might offer Ichigo repreave with protection for keeping white "alive". Speculation, and such.
>>139386424
But what ifthe sword manifested itself and killed its owner?
Or perhaps...Kenny fucking manifested his zanpakuto and was bankai ready before he even became a soul reaper
>>139389202
I've spent four minutes discussing Bleach this year. I do believe your argument is invalid.
>>139389191
Except the captain exam is literally just having a Bankai and showing it to three other captains.
>>139383997
Can someone post the pages of her dancing with her shikai?
Why is Hitsugaya being portrayed as a tsukkomi/funny guy now?
He was the no-fun-allowed-hinamori-killer captain
Is it possible to impregnate your sword spirit? Would the child be a almost clone of you or do the asuchi the sword spirits are possessing have their own genetic code?
>>139389479
Maybe being a zombie and being back from the dead gave him a sense of humor.
>>139389479
Maybe his "near death" experiance changed his outlook and learned to lighten up.
>>139389520
Ask Shunsui
how is anyone surprised by this? Hell in the rescue arc after he loses and asks his sword if it's too late to learn its name, doesn't she pop up and say something right after?
Hell people back then where calling it.
>>139383997
Doujins of Yachiru getting stolen and NTR'd when?
>>139389479
I fucking died when he did the "look I made a height joke" thing. Kubo is either trying to make him likeablewhich is failingor just a comedy reliefwhich would be genius
>>139389520
Well even if it wasn't normally possibly I bet you Mayuri could do it. For a safer route Shusui may know.
>>139389627
There are level 0 readerhere anon that only skim, or follow memes that don't actually "read" the manga. Also speed reader shits never surprise me to miss the subtle thing. I can blame the pacing, but I re-read sections to freshen up.
Why can other people see Orihime and her faeries? Is it because they are based on her Reiatsu?
>>139389520
Negro Samurai specifically said they arent your lovers
I bet he meant that a bunch of fucked up people have already done so
>>139389479
So he can crack a joke the next time he stabs Hinamori.
>>139389754
Hachi said her powers are similar to his, which suggests some Kido-based shenanigans, so yes.
>>139389627
>I am now remember that she lifted him up and carried him off
>>139389806
learn 2 comprehend. He was saying theyre basically servants. horses to the gotei kings.
>>139389754
That one Vizard was able to restore one of her fairies. So probably other people can see them too, if the have spiritual awarness.
>>139389669
Alternatively, Renji.
>>139389806
>Implying he wasn't talking from experience
Nigga's got a whole harem of cute sword girls up innat castle.
by the way, If Yachiru is a sword, why she had her own one. I mean... Shikai that has shikai... Shikaiception.
Can kenpachi use shikai of his shikai? Who would hold it?
>>139389857
I know what he said. You should take your own advice. The reason he brought up they aren't your lovers is because of the permavirgins who used them as such.
He wouldn't just randomly sprout off a list of things they aren't. He is saying that because of all the mistakes shinigamis have made with them.
Kenpatchi has had the best series of power ups in any battle manga I've read.
Level 1: Flex kind of hard
Level 2: Remove small piece of clothing
Level 3: Use sword with BOTH hands
Level 4: Obtain that basic release everyone else already had
Level 5: Finally obtain the ultimate release that got old and overdone years ago
>>139383997
I liked him better when he brute forced things.
Now he's just like every single character, pulling out powers for a single moment of "cool" and then jobs to death.
Bleach is so bad.
>>139383997
I haven't read Bleach in years. You're telling me this decade old theory is actually true?
>>139389899
Don't forget, Yachiru's Shikai is two more swords
>>139389811
So does that mean she has high amounts of Reiatsu?
>>139389878
Tatsuki didn't see them. Who knows.
>>139389563
Being raped by Gigi does change you. Just look how sub Bambietta has become. Hitsugaya on the other hand became badass (at least for a while) and funnier.
>>139389899
It might not actually be a Shikai, as there was no release command, and as Isane noted the entities summoned by Yachiru simply 'appeared', very unlike other Shikai.
It's more likely that her 'Shikai' was more of an extension of her own projected form. In toher words, the Yachiru we know is only the tip of an iceberg that we now know as Nozarashi.
>>139389899
His shikai is actually Yachiru's shikai plus a big sword for him to defend himself.
>>139390059
What if Zaraki's bankai is basicly both shikai merged. A big sword that can cut throygh everything, with a invisible same sword before and another one after... Seems pretty strong,,,
>>139390041
He was already jobbed when he used brute force against Yhwach.
>>139389979
As long as it works. This was meant to mock the way he killed Loyd, but turns out it works for his fight with Unohana.
>>139390105
It means she is using reiatsu/reishi to do stuff.
>There are people who think there are coincidences in Bleach
>Monk in charge of naming
>Two Yachirus intrinsically linked to Zaraki
Zaraki is Unohana's sword.
>>139390123
>defend himself
has he ever?
Guys, what if Yachiru merges with Zaraki and it changes his personality? Or will it be like Stark and Lilette where it was just a piece of his maximum power divided into a seperate entity?
>>139390041
Try harder.
>>139390048
It got a lot more steam about two years ago when the release of Kenpachi's shikai coincided with the total disappearance of Yachiru. As of today, its more or less official.
>>139390150
Is she the only human to use reiatsu in this series?
>>139390261
No.
>>139390261
No. Don Kanonji used it too for example.
>>139390199
Whatever it will be, it will be so fucking broken Kubo will have a tough job coming up with an even more insane power for Ichigo later on
>>139390261
Chad
>>139390151
>being so strong you get killed by your sword because it was your wish and then your sword goes on to be a captain with it's own sword that has it's own sword
My head hurts just thinking about that
>>139390261
Quincy are humans. Chad is human, Fullbringers are humans. Everyone has reiatsu.1
>>139390333
welcome to kubo
>>139390295
Oh, right.
>>139390331
>>139390339
I meant normal human, since Orihime neither a FB or Quincy.
>>139390151
Don't think this really counts since Zaraki named Yachiru after Unohana specifically.
>>139385074
Maybe but it would be a bit weird for his sword to have its own shikai
>>139390339
>Quincy are human.
No, they are quincy.
>>139385602
>>139385587
>Kempachi's bankai make a clone of Yachiru and Unohana
>>139390412
She could technically be classified as a Fullbringer. Just because no one has outright said "Orihime is a fullbringer" doesn't exclude her by default.
>>139386802
But every backstory reveals a new pieces of the puzzle. Komamura's backstory for example revealed more about how the afterlife works and that the Shinigami are not original rulers of Soul Society. Shunsui's and Nanao's backstory revealed possibly more about the five noble families and what made the Soul King loose his limbs.
All this speculation and SEVEN FUCKING DAYS till it will be answered.
KUBO YOU FUCKING MADMAN!
I HATE YOU, AND YET RESPECT YOU!
FUCK YOU!
So will Yachiru be kill? I hope not, she's the only cute girl left in the series.
>>139388647
God fucking dammit, how I hate these stupid theories.
Why do people intentionally ignore that THIS exists?
>>139390333
Hey... wait... I just had a flash of highest kubo.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it said that Kenpachi got stronger because he killed Unohana? Or some other shit like that, I don't remember exactly, but my point is: can it be possible that Unohana was actually Kenpachi's sword and he had to defeat her in order to gain her full power? Like... remember Ichigo vs Tensa in Ichigoland? Or Ichigo vs White in Nazigetsuland?
Or am I just overkuboing the shit out of this?
>>139390447
Didn't the other shinigami mention that Yachiru's ability felt like a hollow's power, not a shikai power? And the zanpakto are made from hollows. And Ichigo's hollow shows they can keep their hollow powers sometimes when they become swords.
>>139390425
which goes back to a point i made earlier in the thread. huge excesses of reiatsu create life. hence the sexual undercurrent of their last unohana/zaraki fight, stark.

>Be sword
>Shinigami is just a nameless scrub. Fuck him.
>Manifest and murder him and everyone else.
>Unconsciously manifest a spirit of your own and tether it to your old "body"
>Strong opponent comes along
>Attempt to stab her
>Accidentally bond with her instead and rebecome a manifested sword
>Continue life not knowing you're a sword or that your lieutenant is also sword
>>139390473
So it I'll be one big happy murder family. Need a drawfag for this. Mom of Murder, Papa Zaraki, and Little Yachiru.

Ichigo at his max with a poor understanding of his power was a literal God who transcended dimensions.
Ichigo at his max WITH a full understanding of his powers will be...goddamn, I dunno. Broken beyond all reason?
>>139390496
That was oversized and sealed Sode no Shirayuki.
>>139389296

>>139390496
>implying
That's just a sword Rukia gave to Ichigo along with her powers in the very fucking beginning
>>139390565
been done a million times before. let me find one
>>139390461
>Quincy used to be Humans with magical ghost-killing powers
>Then the Thousand Year Blood War Arc happened and now they're Shadowy Anti-Hollows descended from Jesus
I don't even know what to say.
>>139390613
It's not the only one, it's a test but part of the test is having a bankai
>>139390599
>ichigo
>full understanding
That alone would be beyond all reason, even for kubo
>>139390565
>>139390637
Never mind, I'll try pixy.
>>139390481
Since she's Kempachi's sword no, unless Kempachi dies he will spawn Yachiru whenerver he want now.
>>139390599
There is no full understanding to Ichigo's powers. It rides the multiverse theory of "always one more level"
>>139390714
Even Kubo does not fully understand it...
>>139390641
They still are sorta. Only the Sternritter got special powers and that was because of Yhwach who is apparently the son of the Soul King.
>>139390534
Not quite.
It was that, when he was a little murder-shota, and Unohana found and fought him after a killing spree, he almost killed her too. But she was the closest thing to a decent fight he'd had all his life, and he didn't want it to be over. This is when he subconsciously began his practice of "Limiting" himself, as he would later consciously do with his bells and eyepatch. Unohana considered her failing as a warrior, and thus restricting possibly the greatest killer of all time, to be her greatest sin.
The act of fighting against and finally killing Unohana let Kenpachi at last move past this psychological barrier he'd built for himself, letting him begin to fight at his fullest.
>>139390690
Its cute, and depressing at the same time. Does this mean christmas cake found love with a shota, and had a kid?
>>139390599
Maybe that's how Ichigo will change the afterlife for the better and create peace between Quincy and Shinigami. At least better than the alternative, that there will be peace because all the Quincy are dead.
>>139390626
How did she even recover the sword if Ichigo never gave it back to her like she gave it to him?
>>139390653
yes but i dont think they ever explained what the test is exactly.
i think there was a movie where some jobbers had to take the captains test but i dont know if it showed the whole thing or if its considered canon.
>>139390692
;_;
>>139390753
>get generic sword
>print your soul again
>???
>profit
>>139390753
She didn't transfer it, she copied it. Ichigo gained Rukia's power roughly the same way Ginjo gained ichigo's power.
>>139386936
So with the Soul King absorbed and, in theory/ rumor, controlling the flow of reincarnation what ifGin is brought back as a Sternritter?
>>139390477
Most signs point away from that though.
>>139390690
>>139390692
get a load of this foreshadowing
>>139390690
Tumblr people portraying Zaraki like some kind of bear with strong arms and younger face. Zaraki is slim as fuck and with an old man's face. How pathetic.
>>139390830
>>139390477
>>139390842
Forgot pic.
>>139390742
It's possible that all special Quincy are the son of the Soul King. Yhwach implied he was just one of many powerless Quincy and simply just the first to not get culled. So if every special Quincy is the Soul King's son, then Haschwalth, Ichigo and maybe even Ginjou are his sons.
>>139390748
She also found love with a girl, but love for shota boy was stronger. Sadly.
>>139390847
i think hes just thin. among the gotei hes a kid
>>139390889
What happened to this chart? Is there an updated version somewhere?
>>139390891
>>139390845
>>139390796
>>139390690
Stop it anons. Stop it. Pls
>>139390599
well Ichigo becoming the next Soul King is pretty much a given knowing Kubo so maybe...
>>139390847
He's designed to be a walking skeleton from what I can tell. Tall and thin, with a gaunt face.
>>139390926
There's a much newer version than that but I never save them. No idea how up to date they are.
>>139390948
because the art isnt great or because it evokes feels?or both?
>>139390926
The updating ended around Azien's apperance. There was more than enough HAPPENING before it got old. After the return of Azien, there wasn't much else to be hyped about.
maximum kubo: yachiru and kenpachi are both one half of a dual sword set, two rogue zanpaktou with no owners that learned to use each other
let's go deeper
the original owner of the dual sword set was the ORIGINAL original Kenpachi.
and when they said that Zaraki Kenpachi "killed" the previous Kenpachi.
what they really meant was that the original Kenpachi committed sepukku with his own swords (Zaraki and Yachiru) because there were no worthy opponents in any realm.
>>139390989
It can be both. There is both good and bad art, but the feels gets strong. Bleedshed is a hell of a drug.
>>139391039
I don't even how KUBO this sounds
>>139391039
My God
>>139391039
The original kenpachi is thesoul king.
>>139391074
its sexual though, that kenpachi battle. unohana is impaled and then kens sword makes contact...almost like it was born
>>139391039
That is pretty decent head canon, but still far to Kubo for me tastes.
>>139391128
*the heartof the Soul King.
>>139391074
also it could be hinting at how unohana died..a scar you cannot see? childbirth. her blood theme of menstruation. she died of bloodloss after birthing a new true kenpachi
>>139391144
Zaraki was the only one man enough to "penetrate" her.
>>139391039
Wait... Since they both can be swords... and given that Kyouraku was able to use Nanao's sword and all of it's powers... could it be that next week shitsugaya and Flowers will be using Yachiru and Kenpachi both bankai as their swords?
>>139391177
I thought The Miracle was the heart of the soul king
>>139390842
>>139390889
>Vaizards have hollow powers
>Fullbringers have hollow powers
?
>>139391211
It's only rumored. Not confirmed.
>>139391211
You were tricked.
Zaraki's alwys been my favorite character.
I just teared up man, so emotional. If you take his backstory in account and how Yachiru's always been around him and all.. Number One chapter next week, gonna get all them goosebumps. Now this feels like good old Bleach, be the name that everyone must mention!
>>139391128He didn't just commit sepukku, he cut all his limbs off with strikes so powerful they became the separate entities we see now
>>139391211the heartisthe heartofKUBOOO
>>139391128
>>139391177
uhh guys...
the 5 war potentials...are parts of a new soul king
>>139391249
I'd pay good money for a spin-off with Zaraki as the MC fucking shit up before he joined the ranks of the Sereitei.
>>139391191
This is getting to deep, even for Kubo. Although given the backstory with Shensiu and Nanoa. I wouldn't put enchant idea past him.
>>139391285
the old roamin' ronin ?
>>139391278
This guy is about a year behind.
>>139390788
It's literally explained in the manga
>Bleach manga; Chapter 146, page 1
>>139391278
i'm fucking done
>>139391278
That's some level 6 shit
>>139391278
but isn't urahara kill?
>>139391321
all they said was that the test involves bankai, not what else it involves.
>>139383997
>>139391039
Unohana is the original kenpachi
