The fight between Yhwach, and the elite (who came out of nowhere) Sternritters and the zero Squad. Somehow the Sternritters curbstomp because somehow Yhwach can resurrect people despite the fact that they are in Reishi eating cages.Then there's Yhwach and Ichibei's fight despite having the advantage Ichibei loses because Yhwach conveniently managed to awaken his "The Almighty" which allows to analyze and breakdown an ability just by looking at it. It's like Kubo saw Madara Uchiha and thought "I want that."

The same old back-and-forth between the Vandenreich and the Shinigami was getting boring enough, even leaving out all of the other problems with this whole arc. The Quincy with the stolen bankai are ragging on the various captains' asses. Then Urahara comes along, performs his magic and the bankai are back! But wait! Actually the Emperor planned for this! All this means is that the secret Quincy superpowers have been unlocked! Let the real battle begin! For the umpteenth time!

What did you expect? The alpabeth-based Sternritter to just have 22 members? We already knew Yhwach could use the Auswahlen. And everyone knew he would use it at some point. Question was only when. And the Almighty was foreshadowed by the Soul King, Yhwach's poem and his conversation with Yhwach. He is also modeled after god and Jesus. Of course he would such powers.
>>140582511
We knew Urahara was experimenting on Quilge's medaillon and it was reasonable to expect that they would find a way to get their Bankai back. And we also knew that Vollständig was a thing and that every Quincy has access to it.

Maybe you should actually read the manga.

Yama, but younger. He's not much stronger per say, just a hell of a lot faster and more in control of his abilities. It takes him 4 seconds to freeze Gerard completely and his range is insane. Rukia is probably more deadly in close quarters though.

Man the power levels are pretty funny, in this, right?

They just seem to rise to what ever the plot needs at the moment.

I remember there was a time when the Aizen's 10 captains were supposed to be really insane in terms of power levels, even tougher than the souls society's captains. But then Yama's captain just beat the shit out of them.

And it was already pretty weird that the captains/liutenants could fight the Sternritter(who, once again were supposed to be even tougher than the arrancars) but now literally the same people who got theirs asses handed to them by lower-level quincy are now, once again mopping the floor with these Schutzstaffel, or what ever the hell these god quincies are.

They trained? Just how much better can you get with a couple of months training. It is honestly starting to seem like Renji wasn't talking out of his ass when he said he was ready to fight Aizen after a couple of months of training. It seems like a plausible scenario.

...And what the fuck happened to that "swordmen-over-petals"-dude, i thought that his bankai broke and that was supposed to be a big thing. It looks and works the same.

Most were forced to fight their bankais with shikais and were too damaged to mount proper offensives against volstandigs even after getting their bankais back.
Except for those who trained with the royal guard, most were this strong after the timeskip and only marginally improved from there.

Yhwach will either resurrect him or Ukitake is just unconscious. But that doesn't really matter. Without Mimihagi nothing can stop the progress of his disease. He would only have a few days to live.

Not that guy, but he did dumb ass. Old Man Manifestation was suppose to be the introduction to the Final Villain Ywach. That's why his name is bleeped out in their first interaction. Ichigo's actual soul reaper powers showed up along with the Hollow mask.

In the Kenpachi fight, Old Man Manifestation does the whole 'shadow power' and later preforms Blut Vene on Ichigo. Meanwhile Inner Hollow teaches Ichigo how to use his sword through the fight and his mask shows up in Ichigo's reiatsu.

During Soul Society Arc, Inner Hollow protects him against Renji (Mask to the shoulder), Kenpach (mask on his right chest) and Byakuya (taking over the fight). He even preforms Bankai better during the fight AND does the Black Getsuga Tensho.

Old Man Manifestation does show up to the Bankai training but tells Ichigo that in order to gain Bankai, Ichigo must find the TRUE Zangetsu and force Old Man to submit. The True Zangetsu being Inner Hollow and we never see how this is obtained.

After that, Ichigo's inner Hollow once again protects him against Yammy (before he releases), Grimmjow (trying to fight him off) and Hiyori (when Ichigo submits to Inner Hollow).

During Ichigo and Inner Hollow's fight, Inner Hollow points out that he is the True Zangetsu, he wields the sword, tells Ichigo he learned Bankai the same time Ichigo did, and says that Ichigo is just copying the master. Hell, even Inner Hollow is beaten by Ichigo only when Ichigo takes the True Zangetsu that Inner Hollow wields and stabs him.

afterwords, Inner Hollow submits to Ichigo, gives him more power with the Hollow Mask, protects him against Ulquiorra by bringing him back to life (and taking the Zanpakutou back).

Yeah no, kubo asspulled all this out of thin air because the editors wanted the manga to sell more, something that the fullbring arc was not able to.

If the fullbringer ark had lasted longer we would get something else, and not just the shinigami dick sucking faggotry that is this arc.

This whole "old man zangtsu is juha" is retarded anyway, the hollow wanted to control ichigo and live his own way, the hollow telling him the truth of his quincy power would have fucked ichigo and given the hollow all the chance in the world to destroy ichigo, and yet he never did that, even after breaking free of zangetsu.

Lets not even talk about how muramasa would have noticed instantly that zangetsu is pure quincy power and not a zanpakuto spirit.

Like I don't even think Kubo planned out all of this. Some of the shit sure, like Unohana and Yachiru being Kenny's sword. Yach is Zangetsu? Doubtful, though he clearly always intended OMZ to be sketch as fuck.

The japanese, especially when horribly pronounced via english transliteration, overstates most of those vowels. Considering it's based on the Hebrew tetragrama you have to take into consideration the various pronunciations of YHWH: EUWI or IAUÊ, Jehova, Elohim. One popular theologistic/linguistic study has suggested that given the Jewish law of never actually speaking or writing out god's name that the alias has poetic or metaphorical implications. Namely that the YHWH is actually the sound of breath, and thus life, and not meant to be pronounced with the kind of diction that a word would. It's basically pronoucned as a long exhale with varying lip movements. Kubo kinda changes up the phonetics, but the idea can still carry over. That Y is still a low "hee~" almost like a hiss, the H is a huu~ like a blowing out a candle, the WHA is a Haa~ like sighing, and the CH is a slightly gutteral voiced version of the prior, like the H or Ch in Hanukkah/Chanukah. Break it into syllables instead of one long breath, and overstate every sound and you still get what is equivalent to the Japanese: Hyiu-Hah-vHah-Ha.

A a bit over 1000 years ago, presumbly in Germany. We don't know how big the Lichtreich was. It could have been just Germany. But it could have been equal to the roman empire (which would explain Bazz-B's attire and his "english" heritage), or all of Europe or even the whole world. Either way, the northern territory Yhwach ruled over was North-Rhine Westphalia, which is where Charlemagne's main residence was, Aachen to specific. Haschwalth was most likely born exactly 1000 years before Ichigo. The Hogyoku was also created to emulate the special Quincy and Gerard.
>>
>>140603268
How do you pronounce Jehova? Just replace the "Jeho" with "Juha" and you get Juhava, which is probably what Kubo intended. But it is still interesting. Yhwach was born among Quincy and they named him after their god. So Quincy used to believe in the abrahamic god, even though less than 200 years later every peasant knew Soul Society existed. Maybe the Soul King is the abrahamic god. Soul King may just been the name/title Ichibee gave him.

It makes them Feudal Japan, which is not that much better. Since Soul Society wasn't always japanese or buddhistic, you could say the samurai are occupying heaven, while the jews/christans evovled into nazi angels to get it back. Yhwach is a fallen Jesus and possibly not the only son of god. Every special Quincy most likely is the Soul King's "son".

Come on you'd have to be a moron, considering how much Kubo hit you over the head with it. The Hollow was always zangetsu, this was obvious since the begining and was stated multiple times in the story. Even before that twist The story had told you for a fact that the hollow and Zangetsu were one and the same.

The only twist which was likely Kubo adding it later was that the original manifestation of Zangetsu was an image of somone else entirely.

nanao's god killing sword is easily the biggest asspull

Even if we know clans have secret artifacts which is canonical; Shunsui happened to be carrying it in his shadow and she happened to be able to use it against this particular enemy that can only be harmed in this particular way

It was a little hard to swallow even for shounen.
>>
>>140625884
Well Lille resembled Aizen during Deicide alot and Aizen resembled the Soul King. Yhwach's soul piece and the Hogyoku fucntion the same way. So both allow to transcendent. The Ise sword would have been usefull against everyone of the Schutzstaffel, except Askin. It probably would have been even more usefull against Gerard and Pernida, since both are not close to godhood, but actual gods. The Ise sword will probably be revealed as the swords that cut the Soul King into pieces and how Shunsui plans to make the next one. Aizen and/or Ichigo better have a counterplan otherwise they can say goodbye to their freedom, power, bodyparts, future and free will.

But shinigami powers and quincy powers are opposites.
>>
>>140626544
no, hollow powers and quincy powers are opposites
>>
>>140627068
Speedreader.
>>
>>140627068
Shinigami powers purify souls and Hollows devour souls. It makes no sense that it would want the power to destroy souls.
>>
>>140627954
Only zanpakuto purifies souls, and they are not even a shinigami power.
In fact zanpakuto is a hollow power.
>>
>>140628185
A Zanpakuto is an Asauchi (a type of blank Hollow) filled with Shinigami reiatsu. Alternatively, it is where an Arrancar stores their Hollow power for Resurrection. So it's both a Shinigami's power and/or an Arrancar's power.
>>
>>140628185
Shinigami powers have to purify souls otherwise the entire quincy war was bullshit. Loads of shinigami use kidou to kill hollows. There is an entire division of kidou users. Almost totaling the same amount of quincies there were
>>
>>140628185
>In fact zanpakuto is a hollow power.
Another speedreader.
Ouetsu makes asauchis from Shinigami souls. Zangetsu is the only "Hollow" zanpakuto because he's an artificial Hollow made of Shinigami souls, too.

>>
>>140628457
The Quincy war in all likelihood was never about Hollows. It seems more about the Shinigami and Quincy having different opinions about how the afterlife should be. The Quincy genocide may have also been in reality an Herod-esque attempt to kill the special Quincy, who lived at that time. Why else would they also kill all the children and infants.

Problem is though that both versions of the afterlife are rather bad. Soul Society is an old-fashioned feudal society, with a horrible cast system and a ton of other problems. The Quincy under Yhwach would probably turn the afterlife and world into a theocratic dictatorship. Things would probably improve, but not that much, I think.
>>
>>140630858
Except Mayuri had to exterminate a large part of the rukongai to maintain the soul balance at the beginning of this arc. The quincies being a threat to existence is fact.
>>
>>140630858
Have you seen Yhwach's behavior? He'd just kill off everyone he saw as too far beneath him.

I understand all of Aizen's frustrations at Urahara

He is like dude wtf you are at least twice as smart as I am and all you are doing is running a candy shop rather than come up with a way to fix this retarded universe?
>>
>>140631048
Why didn't Aizen request to be Urahara's vice captain?
>>
>>140630988
Yhwach can't kill everyone. He needs souls, otherwise one day he will become a baby again.
>>140631184
Aizen has an ego as big as his Reiatsu. He would never do that.
>>
>>140631184
He could sense Shinji's aura of the Jobber and chose him, obviously. Besides, Urahara was a captain for a week or such.
>>
>>140631428

nigga did you see what he did to grimmjow?
Anyway, Urahara wasn't an unknown person if he was suddenly promoted to captain over the VC of the squad.
>>
>>140631526
That actually makes him a jobber. You take a strong, proven character and make him lose to another one to hype the power of the enemy. That's jobbing.

That makes Grimmjow a jobber right?

There was another one, when Volume 71 was released. It featured Nanao, Shunsui and Lille. It looked extremely good.
>>
>>140631764
Ichigo jobber for Askin, recently. Ichibei and Yamamoto for Yhwach etc.

Basically any lost fight that pits strong warrior against an opponent for the sole purpose of hyping the power of the adversary is jobbing.

If something else is dominant, like a need to showcase a necessary change in the hero, or bring out some unknown weakness - then it's less of a job and more of a plot device.

For example Toofsy broke Ichigo's bankai, which could be considered a job, but the point was to initiate and push forward plot thread about Ichigo's Zanpaktou.

This has literally only been relevant once.

Thrice as I recall.

Ichigo vs Zaraki
Ichigo vs Aizen on the Hill
Soi Fon vs Aizen in Fake Karakura
>>
>>140633575
That last one I always assumed Soi fon was stabbing air or made to believe she stabbed the same spot.

If aizen could reiatsu through zanpaktou poison he wouldnt have been so scared of gin's

It took the hougyoku to save him from that
>>
>>140634251
It is entirely possible that it was illusion, yes.
As for Gin, he was more powerful than Soi Fon in my opinion and his power was literally God Killing.
>>
Gin's Bankai could kill anyone that wasn't Aizen.
>>
No one could really kill Barragan.
>>
>>140612045
He never said they couldn't. He just said he wouldn't he doesn't like doing it because it's over kill but fuck this thor wanna be

Toshiro's "It was a hologram" ice mirror he used against Hallibel.

Hard to take him as a threat.

After all the hax we have seen in bleach I am not even sure his skills make it to top 10. all of the elites +gremmy+ ywhach are more hax

Then you have ichibei, yamamoto, adultsagaya, shunsui, urahara

That's ten right tehre

And they will return. As enemies most likely. Question is, if the rest of the Gotei will follow their logic or not. I hope they do, because that would increase the number of enemies for the remaining seven days.

But speaking of returning characters, which of the Sternritter could make it into day three? And before someone says they are all dead, we thought the same about the Arrancar during their arc. But then it was revealed that Loly, Menoly, Harribel, her Fraccion, Grimmjow and Yammy's dog were alive. That afro guy is also somewhere, but nobody cares about him. The excecution Arrancar might also be alive.

Gremmy can imagine large explosions

That explosion doesn't harm any of the elites. I dont even think it harms the wind dude

Ulquiorra was always pretty strong though. Too bad we didnt get him against anyone else to gauge his real power. And with good reason since I think he slaughters everyone up to yamamoto and maybe unohana

The kanji used for her bankai are 皆尽[Mina Zuki], as oppose to 肉雫唼[Mi Na Zuki]. They read as "Everyone" + "Exhaust." But Exhaust as in "to use up," "to deplete" not "to tire out"/"to weary." Her shikai and bankai are read the same phonetically but the shikai's kanji reads as "Meat"+"Drop"+"Suck" although that's a tough one to really translate. Most generally you can just translate that last bit as "eat" but that's vague. The implication of its use points to more of a Suck/Peck/Nip/Nibble, or other "to consume in small portions" kinda thing. So if the shikai "consumes meat in small drops" and the bankai "depletes everyone" it seems like "acid" maybe only in the sense of drawing parallels with stomach acid and her shikai monster's healing mouth thing. It's not 100% clear what her powers ever were considering we now know she learned her healing techniques from Kirinji and his hotsprings. It may even be that her shikai doesn't actually heal by itself at all and that it was a mix of its abilities and her own kidou that made it useful for healing. Now that she and Kirinji have both kicked te bucket it's unlikely we'll ever really know

Kirinji is most likely alive. And even if not, he and Unohana were part of the original Gotei. So we might get more info on their abilties, once there is a flashback to the First Blood War. Is probably also when we will see Robert's Schrift.

It's not a matter of opportunity, it's a matter of priority. Kubo's deliberately taken her off the table, it's unlikely he'll revisit her in any great detail, a few obvious fill in the blanks where they relate to the plot or to other characters, but nothing as big as rewriting preconcieved logic in her character or powers now that they just aren't important.
>>
>>140635399
From most to least likely: Bazz-B, Liltotto, Giselle, Askin, Zombie-Bambietta, Lille, BG9 and Cang Du. They are the only ones, who have any actual chance of being alive, since their "deaths" were relatively ambigious. Everyone else had a definite death. Though in some cases, like Cang Du's the chance is very small. But this is Kubo and Hiyori survived getting cut in half, so there is at least the benifit of a doubt. Not counting Gerard, whose fight may not be over, Yhwach, Haschwalth and Uryuu of course.
