Discuss.
bleach has completely gone to shit, I had hopes this final arc would be at least decent, but it's bad writing everywhere.
>>140489019
>gone to
Bleach never has any good doujins
What was the point of identifying the war potentials if Yhwach doesn't take any effort to neutralize them? This is the same guy who launched his invasion into seiretei early the moment he learned Ichigo wasn't there, yet he doesn't bother incapacitating Aizen when he refuses or killing Kenpachi or kidnapping Ichigo. Seems like
Also, for a guy who claims "everything you do is according to my will" he seemed pretty shocked when he saw Ichigo's Blut Vene.
>>140489019
It's been better then post-time skip One Piece, but that's a pretty low bar.
>>140489521
Fuck off
So, was HitsuGAY's transformation just a general buff? I didn't see anything that seemed out of the realm of his former bankai
>>140489786
the freezing effect nullfies magical effects/attributes.
>>140489521
Who is the last one?
Suuuuuuper Ichigo sameface my dude.
>>140489162
Bleach has had its fare share of good doujins. It's just that there's been a lot less lately ever since the anime ended.
>>140489786
>freezing effect literally freezes special effects/attributes
Thats pretty significant. It just didn't seem it because the opponent is "nothing works against me". His overall power seems to have been increased, and he has no time limit.
>>140489566
Name 3 times where a bankai was a perfect counter to an enemy's gimmick. You cannot.
>>140489975
Urahara because keikaku
>>140489908
I thought HitsuGAY could always nullify reishi0 that he could overpower with his reiatsu + coldness. There are no magical effects/attributes just reishi and reiatsu in Bleach
>>140490040
Okay
>No Matsumoto around to get wet over this
Kuboooooooooooooo
>All those delusional Rukiafags in the previous thread who thought she could even compare against Hitsugaya
I always considered myself pretty straight but adult Toshiro is doing things to my dick, Jesus Christ.
>>140490709
It was glorious. They reject canon that Shitsugaya's sword is the strongest ice-type.
Hitsugaya had an erection the previous time he transformed and it scared him
>>140491140
Why did I laugh at this? Fucking old school levi jeans advert tier
>>140491140
>I don't like being painfully attractive and having the ability to age myself up at will
What a fucking idiot. Anyone else would be capitalizing like a madman.
>>140491294
I think his adult character design looks great, he can pull of the levi jeans look.
>>140490062
Hitsugaya literally freezes concepts like hope.
Could Hitsuguya's super bankai freeze Rukia's bankai?
>>140491671
Yes, but it would raise the temperature.
>>140491564
HitsuGAY doesn't freeze the concept of hope, he freezes Thor's "hope power"
Captain Shota likes being shota-sized because it puts him chest-height with Matsumoto, and the view is spectacular.
alpha shotas are made to dominate busty onee-sans
>>140488702
twitty and crunchyroll click bait topics, ever a good way to start off a thread.
Stay classy neo /a/
>>140490531
Don't worry she'll appear after this is done. We don't know how much it takes him to get out the adult form.
He said he hated it maybe because Matsumoto molests him?
Well it could be because things freeze when touching him too which is dangerous.
Someone post that cycle of bleach
> training arc
> hitsugay
> rescue arc
and so on
>>140489975
fuck off speed reader.
One cannot be this stupid. It's a play on Guren in Daiguren Hyorinmaru. The dragon even has crimson red eyes.
I want to marry Rukia
>>140489521
>Ichigo
Yhwach still seems to want to recruit him. Every time he's encountered Ichigo he was refrained from going all out and tried to talk him down/persuade him to join
>Aizen
Aizen was strapped to a comfy chair, not able to do anything meaningful. He wasn't an issue
>Kenpachi
When Yhwach encountered Kenny, he thought he was so weak that there's no point in even having him on the list.
So mad at this stupid fucking transformation.
I am POSITIVE there have been at least one or two points in the manga where he has stated his bankai FUCKING DISAPPEARS when the petals run out. Like during that fight with Grimmjow's fraccion. Bullshit pandering.
>>140492163
...it's fucking Ichigo with a cowlick
>>140491671
Kubo's artstyle is headache inducing because of all the white. the lack of shading and thin stenciled lines are really starting to get on my nerves.
>>140493144
Additionally, Yhwach DID make attempts to kill Kenny.
First off, he sent his most overpoweringly strong Steinritter at him, Gremmy to fight him, and just in case that wasn't enough, he sent four other Steinritters to finish him off. Panty, Lolichomp, Trapzombie and MissMuscle were all sent specifically to kill the weakened Zaraki, but only failed due to Ichigo, Mayuri, Byakuka and a bunch of others showing up to stop them, as well as FatCupid turning them on each other.
>>140488702
Grown up Yachiro when? Seriously, I been eating this shit up for 400 chapters just to see grown up Yachiro, what are the chances of Kubo delivering?
>>140489521
you know, thinking about it makes a lot of sense why Yhwach launched his first invasion when he did. Both Ichigo and Urahara were tied up in Heuco Mundo, Aizen was literally tied up in prison, and Ichibei was still in the Royal Palace. Kenpachi was literally the only War Potential available in the SS, and his power was even more gimped than Ichigo's
>>140493548
none, since she remained the same when Kenny used Bankai
>>140493647
But he's not using her whole power yet, HA!
>>140493548
Yachiro in a 17 year old body would give me such a boner.
>>140493695
oh, well I guess there's still hope then
>>140488702
Kubo is telling him to start making those Rangiku dojins.
Zaraki is a Shinigami, and is the Red Oni, Yachiru is his Zanpakuto Spirit.
Yachiru is a Shinigami, and is the Blue Oni, Zaraki is her Zanpakuto Spirit.
Best possible outcome?
>>140491671
>>140492031
>>140491727
that's exactly what I would say is a magical effect/attribute numbnuts.
I'm struck by how frantic quickly these battles seem to be going. The story itself is dragging on and on forever, yes. But each chapter is basically HEY I AM GOING TO DO A MOVE. It fails. NOW I AM GOING TO DO A MOVE. It fails. Eventually someone succeeds but is injured.
Some teamwork happens but its frantic and is just an unbalanced pace of throwing out new tricks in each chapter which are destined to not work anyway and not as much actual fighting, just hey here's a new trick, oh no he tanked it its his turn to do a trick now, okay cool I have to tank it so I can take my turn to do a different trick for him to tank until eventually one of us dies.
Its devolved into such a basic pattern and little other fighting actually happens and its just trick winning but not really losing but not really etc and its become so basic, despite the fact that there are now so many new characters and despite reading every week like I have been for over a dozen years, they've all been forgettable and I have no idea what any of their names are. Not that some of these chapters haven't been cool or been visually cool to see some of their powers finally revealed but its just sad to see the state its in.
Anyway at some point he'll run out of side characters to kill off and we'll get to see a full out Grimmjow battle and Chad will probably be completely ignored along with a bunch of the earlier protagonists and eventually he'll remember that Ichigo is the main character and he has to figure out what to do with the story and how many transformations he wants to do to wrap things up. I can't imagine Yhwach and Ichigo being an interesting final fight as things stand because in all honesty it just looks like it'll be a really boring finale because Ichigo's been out of the game for so long and neither of their powers looks like it'll make for a new or exciting battle.
Its just fan service now, the concept of this war and that there's anything at stake and who our main cast is long forgotten.
>>140494038
If Grimmjow ever gets a real fight, I fucking hope Kubo doesn't have the audacity to give him gimmicks instead of just being a straight-up brawler.
>>140493926
I can't believe it still holds true.
Kubo has a life sized statue of Cell
>Crimson comics is still a thing
Holy fucking shit.

>>140494705
Yes but you can still fuck her and get and heir. In fact one used to fuck to get an heir back in the old days. Now Byakuya will eventually have to remarry to continue the bloodline.
>>140494776
He merely used his first release, shikai on her. He felt like using his second release, bankai, would be too much on her petite body. He loves her that much, you see.

Bleach: everything but the NTR
>>140495003
It wasn't really NTR. I think they were both pretty uncomfortable with the whole arranged marriage thing. Ryuken clearly cared about her as family, while marrying your distant cousin is legal in Japan, that doesn't mean it happens often.
>>140494664
Byakuya. I think I'm gay for Byakuya.
Do you think Ichigo's capable of learning Kido or will he just be shit at it like Renji? He's learned to control his spiritual power a lot better now, especially after his training with the Royal Guard, but it's hard to imagine him being very good at Kido.
![009[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/FfQUbBW.png "009[1].png")
>>140495307
They're not cousins? Masaki just told her humans they were cousins, but really she was another quincy from the Kurosaki family. They're two different Quincy clans whose only relation is Yhwach
>>140495471
that doesn't actually prevent them from being cousins of some degree. It would actually make sense that there is a lot of intermarrying between Quincy clans, to keep the blood lines pure. Having said that, it is highly unlikely that they are first cousins, since Ryuken's mum doesn't appear to be Masaki's aunt, and Soken is definitely not her uncle
>>140495307
They were engaged, so by definition yes it is NTR. While Masaki may have been uncomfortable with Ryuken, he did appear to have feelings for her. Him getting over her and noticing Katagiri and her devotion to him was character development on his part.
>>140491382
He doesn't wanna grow up to be some lanky femboy. Probably wanted to be more manly.
>>140495903
I dunno. He seemed pretty uncomfortable with the whole thing too.
>>140491382
He's playing it cool.
>>140495802
Intermarrying definitely happened "within" families, but seeing as these two families have their own separate clans implies they were the only quincies exposed to the "dark" - the human world.
If they're all children of Yhwach, then they're as related to each other as I am to you, or to make it more accurate, as related as a Native American is to an Ainu.
>>140492031
daily reminder that kubo actually did this and it was hilarious
>>140494301
i though that was an ugly girl at first desu
>>140495932
He's just naturally stoic. Like Uryu he too has a stick up his ass. From his actions you can see that he cared about her a great deal. How he was willing to disregard quincy laws for her, or how he rushed out of the house and literally up and into the sky to get her help. Or how he almost left the family when he failed to save Masaki.
Can someone post that chapter where it was implied that Aizen was banging Hinamori?
>>140488702
Here's to another zanpakuto that breaks the "shikai and bankai can't have different powers" rule.
>>140492163
>>140493263
Gigi has good taste in clothes.
>>140496275
Except it didn't.
>shikai: ice
>bankai: it's still ice, but he ages to use its full power
>>140496348
And now it also nullifies his enemies' powers, which is an asspull.
>>140496476
It's just so cold that it stops things from going into effect.
think of it like how Rukia froze her body so the fear thing wouldn't be able to affect her. Except this is in reverse, so cold that the thing can't do its mystical shit that affects people
>>140496551
The fear couldn't affect her for a different reason, and then it started working when As used Vollstandig. (Even though it still should've been ineffective as far as Rukia's explanation of her immunity went)
>>140496028
I actually like Hinamori as a character, yet I found this funny as hell.
Aizen was a fun villain for moments like this alone.
>>140496650
>The fear couldn't affect her for a different reason
She said why, cause her body and nerves were frozen so the Feat couldn't affect the body parts it touched on.
And do you know what reverse means?
>>140496476
You're right
It's not like another elemental control bankai had weird powers only vaguely related to their element.
>>140496724
Her nerves weren't frozen.
with all the powerups we've had so far, how many times stronger are these captains compared to when they first appeared. seems retarded that they get 50 times stronger in the span of 3-4 years bleach time when they've lived for hundreds of years. were they sitting on their asses the entire time and only got motivated to train after meeting ichigo
>>140491140
>>140495934
Kek
>>140496810
Oh my bad, it was that her body's in some suspended animation so the "Fear" has nowhere to go
>>140492031
didn't understand it at first because i read it right to left
so why the fuk is this hitsugaya kid trying to act tough and talk cool when he's triple gang banging on the bad dude? does ANY fujoshit actually think that's cool
ayy let me pretend that i'm in control here and just toying with you because victory is assured > proceeds to job
fucking corny japs
>>140497092
They're fighting the heart of a god. I think a 3v1 is okay, this time.
>>140496805
Yama's power had a theme. He was the gatekeeper of hell.
How long until Gerard goes into some second or third stage of his Volstandig and starts punishing people with god powers?
Cause bible has smiting, plagues, people being made blind, fires, getting turned to salt and more
>>140496890
Only ones that have powered up permanently were Hitsugaya and Kenpachi. And Hitsugaya has had access to this form ever since the timeskip. Komamura's power came at the expense of his humanity, Byakuya merely did things differently. It's mostly VCs that have powered up and they're being hyped as the next generation.
>>140489162
Oni Dao Ni
Casual reminder that Rukia froze "fear" in SHIKAI mode.
at the very least, I think we can say rukia shikai > hitsu shikai.
>>140497817
Byakuya's skills and techniques have improved. That counts as a powerup.
Senbonzakura never needed a powerup. What was important was Byakuya's skill and mindset.
>>140498680
No she froze her body thus preventing anything from moving through it.
Not that it matters considering her shikai is nowhere near Hitsugaya's level. Their swords are classes apart

>using logic on Bleach
>using ''science'' on Bleach
Stop. Utter BS like Yamamoto's bankai should've caused nuclear fucking fusion in his immediate surroundings, but it didn't. It also should have immediate obliterated anything within a few few thousand kilometers and the shockwave from the sudden heating would've powderized shit far beyond. Rukia's 'muh absolute zero' would've basically broken reality apart and have done all sorts of bullshit to her surroundings, and her moving at absolute zero requires that she's manipulating space itself to move her physical coordinates without giving any kinetic energy to her particles. Bleach uses cool powers as cool powers, stop trying to analyze them.
>>140499897
She had an extremely weak constitution though, which can often make you infertile or at least make it incredibly dangerous to give birth.

One would think that a civilization that has perfected cloning and organ reconstruction would be capable of fixing the ghost flu, or at least allowing the ghost flu wife to have a child with her husband.
>>140500067
One would think a civilization that has perfected cloning and organ reconstruction, is well on the way to creating perfect artificial life, and has literal fucking magic wouldn't have 99% of the population in literal shitslums and have rampant crime as a thing, and have moved past Central 46 aka 'completely helpless chucklefucks who are obeyed for literally no reason' being a thing, but there you are.
>>140500117

>The Lisa doujin also by him

Bleach has/had a good fucking run with doujins.
>>140500441
I'm not sure if the living conditions in the big cities can be called civilized to be honest. And of course America is first world, they are the very definition of the first world.
>>140500717
Civilized and 'not a hovel' are two completely different things.
Americans in general are not civilized, speaking as an burger, but fuck if they live in the Zulu mud huts that Rukongai 50+ districts seem to be. Apparently 60+ or whatever don't even have fucking shoes.
>>140500643
>Harribel literally in a rape dungeon
>no doujins
>top MILF Unohana with clear waterfall for MANLYMAN Zaraki
>no doujins
I don't understand.
>>140500798
Bleach is fujos now. Straight Bleach fans are dead, or moved on.
>>140500768
That varies depending on the district. The innermost districts are quite well off. America has a different kind of poverty because it is urbanized, while SS is set in sengoku era Japan.
Letting Yhwach run things might be improvement. At least he creates proper houses and furnishing.
>>140500117
Every civilization needs a centralized government. Political anarchy only ever works with a very small populace.
>>140500951
No one is interested in improving the lot of the peasantry though. The amount of power that the bigger shinigami wield is absurd, they could probably make fuckhuge palaces for every family in an instant.
>>140500961
Yeah and the thing is, logically speaking a senate house type government fundamentally depends on the idea that men are actually more or less equal.
When you have Central 46 being able to get blown the fuck out by a captain sneezing and someone like Aizen probably imploding the entire government district by swiping his finger sideways, there's no reason that the corrupt, ineffectual and more importantly weak Central 46 should have retained power for any period of time.
>>140501051
The bigger shinigami are all nobles. It's rare for anyone not a noble to have any sort of power in SS. Spiritual and otherwise.
>>140501100
So? So what? I'm sure someone like Tessai or Byakuya has enough kido skill to make shit better for the peasants, Aizen and Yama don't need to be mentioned.
>>140501051
Physical power is not a factor in governing ability. No one in Congress or any Parliament needs to know how to fight to run a country. That's what the Gotei 13 is for. The reason the Gotei 13 is not the major governing body of Soul Society is most likely the same reason most other first-world countries aren't ruled by a military body: fear of giving too much power to that military in question. You never want to give an army general too much power.
The Central 46 is the centralized government that oversees Soul Society, and the Gotei 13 are the primary military force that protects it.
As for the issue concerning the slums, that's partially due to physical distance. Soul Society is huge. Considering the "lifespan" of the average ghost in this series, and how anyone who dies in the Living World either ends up going to Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, there must be a tremendous amount of souls living in both. Yamamoto himself was as old as Christianity when he died. It's simply not possible for even a competent governing body to help everyone in such a huge world. Getting from the Zaraki District to Seireitei must take forever.
>>140501282
No, that's not what I mean.
See, the reason why organized governments work is often because one person is actually worth, more or less, one person. You'd need to convert a shitton of people to your side to have a chance in a coup, because even the best fighter is only worth maybe ten or twenty other fighters.
In Bleach, converting a few stronger captains is literally all it takes to obliterate everyone but the RG. Captains are often worth many times the rest of their squad combined, and the bigger captains (Unohana, Shunsui, Ukitake, Yamamoto) can be worth three, four, or more regular captains combined, and Aizen was likely worth as much as the first three by himself.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be the ruling body, but that it's completely unfeasible that it remains the ruling body.
>>140501354
Yeah. The problem with such long-lived people is that it takes that much longer for change to take place. The easiest way for things to change is for the old generation to step down or pass on and for the new generation with new ideas to take their seats. As long as the oldest of the old fogies stay in power, it's harder for the younger generation with the more "radical" ideas to enact change. Also, centuries of peace with zero conflicting factions and cultures is also a major issue. Soul Society has literally no one else to compare themselves to, especially since most of them rarely visit the Living Realm.
Change is definitely happening, though. Ichigo's had a tremendous influence on Soul Society (or more specifically, the Gotei 13), and with everything that's happened, things may really start changing for the better soon. He's also had a positive effect on Hueco Mundo, too.
>>140501397
Well there's also the fact that most of the Gotei 13 is comprised of more or less reasonable individuals. And the most powerful of them, Yamamoto, was loyal to the Central 46, and his presence alone was enough to keep everyone else in line.
Well, if you want change, then it's definitely happening, all thanks to the protagonist.

>>140495932
He was uncomfortable because it was evident that Masaki did not want to marry him. Also the dude probably had self-esteem issues with how much of a nitpicker his mom was about "muh quincy pride", but anyways
Dunno if the dude ever thought about actually trying to court her with flowers or some shit like that, but it's apparent that looks weren't the issue because all her friends were crushin mad hard on him.

>>140506287
Good job anon. Now all I'm thinking about is Aizen's voice saying "Kurosaki Ichigo"
>>140489786
He's now able to get every woman in a radius of 200km wet, while as a shota his area of effect was only about a 10km radius. It's a significant buff.
>>140496028
This made no sense whatsoever
Ichigo who jumps into battle to rescue people all the time instead just stood there and watched Hinamori get impaled
Ichigo would've jumped in the middle and blocked it but instead he stood still and waited after she was impaled to say Aizen was trolling them
>>140491671
Depends who used it first. Hitsugaya would win either way since he could make an ice mirror hologram while Rukia has to stand in place
>>140507096
He could have been shouting at them the entire time but Aizen didn't let them hear
>>140507339
>>140507096
Not to mention ichigo had to stay back for a reason.
Aizen could have easily turned Ichigo into the pseudo Aizen and watch him get beat.

Was it ever stated that the sheathless sword was one of his sword five?
>>140493217
anon, people checked last week. Every single fight Hitsugaya has been in. The information about it fading when the petals run out was never directly stated by Icefag. Shawlong Qu-Fang makes the assumption in their fight, and Hitsugaya never refutes him.
Kubo also made mention in an interview that he couldn't control his bankai pre-time skip, but he can now
but as far as I can tell, Hitsugaya never directly states that his bankai ends when the petals run out
>>140511011
not that I can tell, haven't bothered re-reading it yet though
>>140490006
That goes for most of the male characters in the series.

>>140511902
eh, the only characters that actually look like Ichigo are Kaien (who's related) and Uryu, which is drawn attention. older toshrio has some similarity since he's meant to be young and attractive, but the shape of his face isn't as narrow/long as Ichigo's and he has different eyes and hair.

>the shape of his face isn't as narrow/long as Ichigo's
Ichigo got hit with the bishie stick the hardest out of the series, even accounting for the general art shift overall. The guy used to be a square faced, shifty looking fuck, and now he's pretty shonen fuck boy number whatever. Ishida used to be the one with the narrow long face out of the group.
>>140512931
I want Ichigo inside me.
>>140512931
Ichigo's progression is gradual people note that he became very good looking. The biggest shift in style came between the first arc and the SS arc. Ichigo was already a prettyboy by the time he fought Kenpachi. He was significantly less blocky even when he trained with Urahara.
>>140496028
Next chapter, it's revealed that the one who got Senkei'd by Byakuya was her.
>>140513610
No less than 7 chapters later and he's much closer to his HM arc self. It's like Kubo changed his mind on the design of most of his characters midway through the first arc. Orihime's face and eyes became rounder too. Ichigo's face used to be much pointer. He has a stronger jaw nowadays.
Not even Gekka Tenshou is working!
>>140513610
>>140513761
It's all in the eyes for me. His face is pretty obvious comparing the earliest chapters to now, but it's his eyes that really change the face.
They look super shifty early on because of how beady they look for not touching the bottom. He even still has it in the first image posted, making him look significantly less good looking. But they're pretty full in the second image, which is about as bland, standard handsome shonen I've ever seen Ichigo. Even compared to his later appearances where he just flat out pretty.
>>140496476
>>140496805
Do y'all niggers forget that Hyorinmaru is literally said to be the Ryujin Jakka of Ice?
No shit its gonna be OP as fuck
>>140513921
That should be due to a change in his overall demeanor. It was said that at first Ichigo was only putting on airs and that he was actually scared and cowardly. His eyes reflect genuine confidence now.

He still is making the same mistakes and getting himself killed, just look at his fight against askin.
Ichigo never learning anything besides bashing people with getsuga, all those fights against Aizen, and he still gets himself tricked into death every time.
>>140515150
Near death, keeping in mind that Askin's ability is cheating to win and assassination. And also Ichigo never had the opportunity to properly learn kido, so he uses what he knows. Which is getsuga and hitting really hard. He is just like Kenpachi in that regard. We also haven't seen him fight seriously in years.
>>140515320
>also haven't seen him fight seriously in years.
when's the last time we have seen him fight anyway? I faintly remember him going against the female Sternritters, but it's been some time since then
>>140515604
He was dicking around back then and he soloed all them with ease.

Which version of Ichigo is your favorite, lon?
>>140509915
Cause he and the other Schutzstaffel exccept Askin (since he was new and was not a previous member) couldn't unlock their true powers before Yhwach did his Auswählen
>>140489019
seems like its going on forever
I'm glad to see that the sternritter looks like he's going to get killed with teamwork, I feared Kubo would have Icefaggot one-shot him.

Is askin the liver of the soul king?
>>140518095
or appendix
>>140516519
The manga is atrocious. I facepalm after each of last 20 chapters. Shunsui's reveal was average, but stylish, everything else == garbage. Asspull powerups, shit matchups, silly fanservice reveals, dialogs are trash. I want it to die.
Then they maybe can release condensed remastered hi-budget version.
bleach is jojo done wrong
Could Mayuri have taken Askin on the first time they met?
>>140489019
I want this to end already.
>>140518095
No, only Pernida and Gerard are parts of the Soul King out of the Schutzstaffel

Then don't read it you fucking retards. Don't you think that's the easiest option, rather than whining and complaining like a bunch of helpless autists. Jesus fucking christ every Bleach thread there are little faggots who complain about every little thing DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
>>140489521
Yeah, i remember bitching to my friends how fucking shitty the fights have become lately. When i think about fights, especially in manga's, i categorize them as follows:
>Tier 1(Good)
Fights have tactics in em', and both combatants use a wide variety of moves. A match can be ended with a simpler technique also, even though it is a bit rarer.
>Tier 2(OK)
The combatants fight each other by slapping better techniques or abilities on the table. The match ends when the other combatant can't top the winning move.
>Tier 3(Shit)
Bleach right now. Combatants fight each other by slapping a better form(or asspull) on the table. The match ends when the other combatant can't top the winning form( or asspull).
It's utterly ridiculous. Sure Bleach fights have been Tier 2 the most of it's running time, but this is just pathetic. These godly quincy fights have paradoxically been the worst fights in Bleach, even though everyone pretty much is bringing their A-game to the table. The fights should be amazing right now, but week after week they just make you sigh.
...Maybe Kubo just doesn't give a fuck anymore.
>>140519145
jesus christ, this. this isn't even a matter of you souring it up for everyone else, this is just the rest of us looking at you guys and asking, "why"? Why stick with something you don't enjoy or appreciate in the least? Go do something you'll enjoy and stop wasting your time.
So bleach just turned into asspull after asspull. I mean I know he's been doing that a lot since the beginning but now it's every 2-3 chapters. Next chapter's gonna be histugaya and byakuya's attack seemingly defeating gerard, gerard gets back up, blast histugaya away and as he is about to deliver the finishing blow byakuya reveals he's the only one to have ever mastered the second bankai and we are set for another 2-3 chapters.
Also where did the ability of sternritters to steal bankai go? I thought they all had that medallion that can steal a shinigami's bankai. How come they no longer use it?
>>140519916
>Also where did the ability of sternritters to steal bankai go?
They nullified it by giving the shinigami's a vaccine that contains hollow in it. Quincies can't hollow.
Would you buy Rukia chappy's?
So many speed readers in this thread
>>140520016
Not only that but the quincies can't use their vollstandig while having a stolen bankai.
>>140520206
Which makes me wonder if quincies have an inner worlds like shinigami, and that stealing bankais is replacing/co-occupying their own inner spirit with a shinigami's inner spirit
>>140518095
he's the immune system
>>140488702
Makes sense these two would love each other. They're both same-face masters of the highest level.
>>140514105
i have no words for this retardation
Yama was so strong he beat espada to death with his hands. IF it were yama fighting gerard now the fight wouldve been over in 3 pages.
>>140519584
At this point, you really need to adapt a different way to consuming Bleach.
You need to enjoy the utter stupidity of the ride.
It doesn't make it any better from an objective standpoint, but at least you can enjoy it?
>>140521122
Dub a dubs confirmed
Also pay them no heed. Threads have been flooded with Hitsugaya fangirls frothing all over the place.
>>140521122
He didn't beat any espada though. Wonderweiss was made to counter his sword, he wasn't a serious soldier like the rest of the espada.
>>140519916
>asspull
You keep using that word, but I don't think you know what it means. What exactly are these so called asspulls you talk about. There none since quite some time.
>>140521122
>implying Gerard wouldn't just regenerate and grow larger from the damage Yama inflicts
>>140522469
he would be ashes before he could do a thing. he beat the shit out of yhwach remember?
>>140522648
Did Yhwach even have the Almighty back then?
>>140496275
funny way to write 'asspull'
>>140522751
*And Gerard doesn't need to "do" anything. He gets damaged, he regens and gets bigger and more resilient, Yamamoto damages Gerard's sword, Yamamoto gets sliced the fuck up.
And freaking Lloyd using just his own strength (since he only copies likeness and memories) was able to last a while against Yamamoto and get him to go through all four cardinal direction moves, Yhwach
>>140522751
no idea but my theory goes that yama battered yhwach back into a childs form and couldnt kill him. remember when yama said to wonderweiss that he was glad he had taken a monstrous form 'because now i can kill you without regret'. I think Yama spared yhwach.
>>140506287
I came here for Aizen post and I am not disappointed.
>>140522854
Yamamoto would probably just incinerate Gerard down to his very atoms. He can probably burn "hope" too.
I mean, if Hitsugaya can freeze "hope", then Yamamoto sure as hell could burn it.
>>140523116
Hitsugaya froze something so solidly it can't activate, doubt Yamamoto would be able to burn to ash literally the whole blade, especially if he doesn't know about the damaging the blade damages you thing at first.
Did you guys think the fight vs the left hand of soul king was an asspull? If so how?
>>140523274
Why not? In theory, he could destroy the entire world. What's one blade?
>>140523334
Cause he's not gonna know to burn the whole blade and has never tried to burn up literally every single atom of someone when killing them, not even the guy who killed his lieutenant
He wouldn't know to try and burn all of Gerard's blade before causing such a huge "nick" or cutting it completely in half that he'd be completely fucked.
He wouldn't know to burn all of Gerard either, nor would he probably be able to, even his sword thing to kill Yhwach only took out the area of Lloyd's torso and midsection, leaving plenty for Gerard to regenerate from, especially if he gets much bigger, and ambient heat isn't gonna kill off all of Gerard either, Lloyd already showed blut vene is enough to survive around sun like temperatures
>>140513298
And I want Aizen inside him...
>>140522896
Yamamoto was okay with the Quincy massacre, which definitely included innocent children and infants. And he was even more ruthless 1000 years ago. Yamamoto didn't fail to kill Yhwach because of a lack of trying. There is something else that allowed Yhwach to survive. And as long as Ichigo doesn't figure that out, he won't be able to defeat Yhwach.
>>140522279
Wonderweiss shit on Bankai + Mask Kensei, he was obviously Espada level.
>>140523717
i think the evidence is there. Yhwach said yamas heart grew too much. he loved shunsui and ukitake as sons. he interacted with kids a lot.
>>140523717
>Yhwachs grows with war
>Trying to defeat him is war
>PARADOX
and then Yhwach was defeated by the power of friendship, becoming Ichigo's friend and then vanishing.
>>140523943
he didnt though. we didnt see the fight. he probably just kicked him into a building or something and then kensei knew better than to join in yamas fight
>>140523717
Not that anon but I think that the pieces of the Soul King and his progeny, can't really die die.
Like their consciousness can be put out of commission, but the power or being itself will always exist, and it'll just take time for it all to come back, unless absorbed.
Would explain why Yhwach has the Kaiser Gesang thing, and may even be why the Soul King seemed like he wouldn't/couldn't do anything even when getting threatened with death and then getting slashed, he too might've been in a Kaiser Gesang type phase where he wasn't fully back yet, and the missing limbs could tie into why he wasn't fully back yet.
And so now anyone who manages or hopes to defeat Yhwach, will have to absorb him to fully beat him.
>>140519145
I really liked Bleach, maybe because I have tremendous tolerance for arc-fatigue, but during the soul-society arc it was my favorite thing to read. That said, its bad. But its bad in a way that I feel is worth discussing. I feel like many anime have similar problems to Bleach, but Bleach embodies more cons than pros, and that really disappointing because even now I see flashes of awesome in the middle of the mess that is Bleach.
1) Scatter-shot focus: This is largely a function of the characters, mainly that there are far too many of them, and they continually show up way after their relevance has come and gone. Namely the Gotei 13, they are more or less pointless after the Soul Society arc. There are some that are important enough to warrant further appearances. However the story continually invents reasons to drag the ENTIRE Gotei 13 EVERYWHERE, which means that screen time gets spread so thin no one really gets a chance to shine. The main cast really should be reduced.
2) New powers invented for the purpose of not having a point: this isn't really a new phenomenon, but this is particularly weird. Kisuke has an ability that lets him put his spirit energy in his opponents and ignite it if they touch him, causing massive internal damage. This is actually a cool ability, and in a better manga it would have involved characters thinking and planning their way around it. In Bleach it was brought up and used against Aizen, just so he could shrug it off. That's the main problem with Bleach's fight scenes, they suffer from DBZ syndrome, where certain people are just more powerful than others and that's the end. It also shares the problem with DBZ where a lot of abilities are just the same generic energy beam with a different appearance and name, but no distinguishable functionality differences. Some abilities like Kira's Wabisuke, and Gin's bankai are notable and refreshing exceptions.
3)NEVER ENDING FIGHTS ONE AFTER ANOTHER
>>140524011
You really think Kensei would just let Wonderweiss leave their battle?
>>140524330

>>140523948
His grew soft after the war, not before. The Yamamoto Yhwach knew was a heartless beast and Yhwach admired him for that. The original generation was a band of criminals.
>>140493425
You're crazy, it's beautiful.
daily reminder that ichigo's sword has not yet hit it's 'final form' and he will dual wield sode no shirayuki with his with the fabric combined and the form will be called 'THE HEART and Soul'
he got his powers awakened from rukia but she also put too much of her own to help his do so, he has control over Sodenoshirayuki
