Vollstandig wings next?
No, we need at least two more power ups before we get to that point.
>>142324147
Eh unless Yhwach is going to pull wings out of his ass I fail to see why Ichigo would, especially since Yhwach can likely just Auchwalen the wings right off of Ichigo.
If anything, the 'second form' will be Mugetsu-esque.
>>142324672
Wings have been purely cosmetic since Kubo decided to have everyone fly as they pleased. Which seems to come and go based on reishi concentration.
The wings would just be showing that he's using his Quincy powers and Yhwach shouldn't be able to steal Ichigo's abilities while he's using Hollow reiatsu.
>>142325085
I thought of that too, I guess it depends on how deeply assimilated his Hollow reiatsu is with his Quincy powers. Honestly I just think angel wings would look silly on Ichigo.
>>142325085
Actually it's almost always running and leaping around on air rather than free flight.
>>142325148
I mean we're already approaching deviantart-tier designs so it couldn't be that far of a leap right?
>2 swords
>asymmetrical armor
>1 eye differently colored
>1 horn
And if there's ever a proper colored version then part of his hair will probably be colored white.
>>142325331
The single horn is obviously a reference to his Hollow; all I'm saying is that OMZ never actually used a 'winged' form so for Ichigo to suddenly be able to use Volstandig would be a disappointment. I'm expecting something more like Mugetsu.
Aizen when?
>>142324147
Maybe.
what do you think his Bankai is going to look like?
also: witch cero is stronger? Gran Rey or Oscuras?
>>142326016
>what do you think his Bankai is going to look like?
Remember when White and Tenza Zangetsu fused together in Ichigo's inner world? I imagine something like that.
>Gran Rey or Oscuras?
Last thread most people said Oscuras, and I'd be inclined to agree with them.
>>142326016
probably a more destructive mugetsu, combined with cero. I imagine it distorting space/time and ywach's almighty.
>>142326016
I hope his base Bankai is simple as a callback to the original reveal and then gets built on as he fully utilizes his powers.
Also I don't believe we really have any way of measuring the two since there was only 2 Espada that used Ceros in release and one who used GRC unreleased with no real common ground.
>>142326166
>Remember when White and Tenza Zangetsu fused together in Ichigo's inner world? I imagine something like that.
but isnt that what he looks like now?
I always thought his bankai would look like the White hollow, at least a partial mask but 2 horns and both swords turn into 2 tensa zangetsus, like the White hollow had the 2 sword arms
but now with this hot mess idfk
>>142326429
Right now we have Ichigo with two blades (White = Hollow, Black = OMZ) and a single hollow horn. Those swords are presumably in 'Shikai' but there's no way to tell. If he's only using the Hollow blade right now, the next step would be incorporating the other blade into it as well, which would likely give him a form half-Hollow and half-Yhwach. It's still too early to tell exactly how they would integrate into each other, but they've done so at least once before (Mugetsu). So I imagine we'll end up with a form that borrows both from his Hollow appearance and his traditional Bankai. Perhaps the blades will recombine in order to show their new unity?

>>142327664
Yuki's soundtracks are so good with dark anime.
>>142327798
But Lanza isn't a cero?
>>142327798
Grimmjow said gran rey cero is the strongest cero
>>142327923
Grimmjow is also an idiot who probably didn't know that Obscuras existed.
>>142327886
Lanza is basically a stable cero turned into a weapon
>>142328080
>all energy attacks are Ceros
okay.jpg
>>142328152
when it comes from a hollow, yes
>>142327983
Isn't Oscuras Ulquiorra's grand rey cero?
>>142327983
Ulquiorra said Cero Obscuras is the power of a released espada.
Grimmjow said Gran Rey Cero is the strongest, ultimate Cero.
I wonder which is stronger.
>>142328285
Since when?
>>142328322
Pretty sure he says they are both forbidden within the walls of Las Noches, not sure where you're getting that from.
>>142328406
Ichigo shrugged off a GRC with just his mask on, whereas Ulquiorra's Obscuras went right through Ichigo's chest. I'd argue that Grimmjow's claim is unfounded based on that evidence.
>>142325453
I thought of this
>>142328561
Then again Grimmjow did his Cero in base form & Ulquiorra wasn't.
>>142329428
Sure, it's not exactly a foolproof argument. Would a GRC by Ulquiorra have been stronger than his Obscuras? Personally I think GRC has higher destructive potential and Obscuras is denser (Black Reiatsu, like Black GT).
>>142327698
They could easily make a good, well paced anime with 3-4 chapters an episode. OVAs would be too rushed for this arc. There's a lot of shit that would have to be packed into too short a time.
>>142329428
Ulquiorra is also at least twice as strong as Grimmjow's released form while in just base.
>>142331034
Ulquiorra in his base form is probably equal with released Grimmjow. Since both were on even ground with masked Ichigo. Released Ulquiorra is obviously a lot stronger and Segunda Etapa might be the strongest Hollow, excluding Hichigo.
>>142324147

>>142331311
Isnt it implied however that Ulquiorra was originally a Vasto Lorde? From what I remember what they described of Lordes is that they were twice as strong as Adjuchas, which Grimmjow belonged to
>Great King Cero
>>142331559
>fake power-ups
What did he mean by this?
>>142331823
Most of the Espada were Vasto Lordes according to the Data Book. The flashback of Grimmjow was just when he was an Adjuchas and hadn't become a Vasto Lorde yet.
>構成メンバーは大虚の最上位である「バァストローデ」級がほとんど。
Is the text that refers to it.
There are definitely varying levels of power at that class though.
>>142332204
memery
>>142324147
Ichigo will go even further and further with this until Yhwach brings out a quincified OMG under his control who wrecks Ichigo again.
That will be when Rukia and stupid eyebrows will show up to take on OMG so Ichigo can focus on Yhwach.
Quincy should have stayed German instead of going culturaly enriched thanks to jewish control (shit I just realised something).
>>142325085
They only flew during the fake karakura town arc because they were essentially spirits in the real world. I don't think they can fly around all willy nilly in the seireitei.
>>142326663
This reminds me that Kenpachi's bankai was really boring.
It was some simple berserker/blood rage enhancement.
>>142332236
while we're on the same topic, can it be argued that on a whole (released form + base form), Ulquiorra was more powerful than Starrk?
>>142332525
It was also entirely incomplete, or irreversibly damaged, sort of hard to tell.
Then again I could hardly think of a more fitting Bankai for Kenpachi. It's the same amount of strength that caused Gremmy to tear himself to pieces.
>>142332606
I'd say the two of them are just too inconsistently powered to determine which is stronger, and that's fine. Not all powerlevel debates need to be linear.
>>142332704
i mean, if you look at starrk, he never really wanted to fight in the first place, but had been appointed the head of the espadas for a reason. The plot didnt do justice to his released form, he shouldve been defeated by shinsui's bankai rather than just shikai
>>142332818
I think it's fair that he was defeated with teamwork and the element of surprise.
Besides, Shunsui's shikai is as deadly as a bankai anyway.
>>142332606
Honestly no idea. Starrk took on 4 Captains pretty easily and was never totally serious. Base Ulquiorra/Starrk seemingly had similar destructive potential but one was a guy restraining himself so as not to harm Los Noches too much and the other was a guy who just didn't want to fight.
In releases I think Starrk has the potential to be stronger. Cero Metralleta is probably a fuck ton stronger than Oscuras.
With Segunda Etapa, I think Ulquiorra is the fastest/strongest arrancar, but on the other hand he got completely wiped by Hollow Ichigo and only did meaningful damage with a surprise attack.
>>142332963
Non of the captains were serious aswell.
This is the same as with the Haribel fags saying she did not lose to shotam blatantly ignoring that her ass was saved by wondertard.
>>142324147
This looks even more awful than in the last chapter. You reap what you saw I guess, Ichigo couldn't forever get away with being hybrid of everything without ending up as butt ugly mutant.
I still hope for nice looking bankai
>>142333047
>Non of the captains were serious aswell.
I disagree. The Shinigami had everything to lose in that fight while the Espada only exist to fight. Sure Shunsui didn't take Starrk seriously at first, but only to gauge the other's strength.
>>142333102
It's still incomplete, anon.

Maybe I'm seeing things, but it looks like more of his hollow mask markings are appearing on Ichigo when he fired his GRC. Or rather, it LOOKS like a hollow mask is forming, but without the mask bit.
Plus, his eye changed too.

I-Is it happening?
Wait, all this time Orihime was able to withstand Ichigo's reiatsu? It's only now that she has had to put up a shield?
How strong is Orihime?
>>142336492
>this isn't even final battle
I don't even understand what Kubo's thinking anymore.And I never did
>>142337131
It's weird because Orihime was able to withstand his reiatsu when not only was it visible, but the Shinigami fighting Gerard could also feel it.
>>142336911
He's using shikai right now.
Once ichigo learned of Zanpakto's name since the very beginning its never not been in shikai ever again.
>>142337930
Now I can't remember if Rukia, Renji and Byakuya's Zanpaktou are constantly in their shikai form
>>142338052
Renji's shikai is the toothed thing, he has a generic katana that we barely ever see anymore.
Rukia's shikai is the white one with the spoked round crossguard and the ribbon. her sealed sword is the katana with the rectangular guard with little damashi flames.
Byakuya's shikai is petals and no blade, his sealed is katana blade, and the handle and guard of both are identicle.
>>142337164
There's still 'normal max' of bankai, more mask and quincy (maybe he will get a conceptual power at last?) and then we have to start going transcendent and FGT again. A good 3+ years for that alone. Plus all the backstabbing and vying to get X/Y/Z to become SK.
The story can go two ways now. Either Yhwach dies and the power passes on to the next big bad.
Or Yhwach somehow regens and the fight continues, with him and Ichigo constantly one-upping each other in transformations and destruction until everything is in ruins and one of them dies. Ichigo obliterated the palace by just powering up in this makeshift melded form. They'll be tearing the royal realm and SS apart if this goes on for much longer.
>>142337131
Varies so hard.
Early on she's over come by it during major fights, even until ulq. Now she's either defending against it because he's about to reach peak non-transcendent or going that high will cause things to break. She hasn't been incapacitated in a while even though she's been near all this shit that used to make her weak at the knees.
Does this mean there's a 'way' for humans to level up how much reiatsu they have to not be knocked out, or is it just her own 'willpower' since her abilities seem to work based on her mental state. She should if determined to, just unexist most opponents.
>>142338429
I remember during the invasion of Hueco Mundo someone stated that Orihime has high reiatsu. It's just interesting that her level is high enough to withstand Ichigo.
>>142324147
This going to end badly, it's going far too smoothly
>>142338693
Notice how Yhwach smiles while Ichigo cuts into him, he's enjoying this.
>>142338693
Yhwach hasn't activated the Almighty yet. It's going to get interesting.
I'm more curious about what will happen to Orihime. I have no idea what her role is going to be moving forward in the fight.
>>142334071
It's just blood. At any rate, the melded form will look less fucked up when he grows a horn on the other side too.
And the fucker is still in shikai. Actually I doubt he can even use his bankai without first attaining a certain degree of mastery over how to balance his powers.
Every week until Bleach ends.
>>142339732
>he posted it again
>>142338410
It's not going to be that straightforward. We're in the calm before the storm. Basically the same as when Ichigo popped out of the portal to the real world and started swinging at Aizen in FKT.
Isshin is on his way, Aizen still has a role to play, I severely doubt Urahara is totally out of the picture, and obviously Yhwach is being the same cryptic fuck as he's been since his appearance.
>>142333779
Now that I think about it, his fighting style is basically 60% what fake zangetsu taught him, and 20% stuff he stole from real zangetsu, plus a 20% he learned from actual fights or something, right? Part of it might be from having learned the ropes literally from a younger version of YHWH.
Why does Ichigo have a horn?
When did he become a quincy on top of being a fullbring/hollow/shinigami/etc?
who has the picture of the crowd reacting to chapters so I can get caught up?
>>142324672
No he can't, as the first Auchwalen didn't effect him.
>>142339732
This holds true now, so much for shielding Ichigo, now she's just shielding herself in a corner.
>>142336823
And so is Ichigo. I'm not sure what's more creepy.
>>142340215
>Why does Ichigo have a horn?
He managed to manifest some of his Hollow power imbued in his Zangetsu.
>When did he become a quincy on top of being a fullbring/hollow/shinigami/etc?
Always and never.
>>142340261
Ah, good point. Perhaps he's misleading Ichigo into thinking he can?
>>142334986
This form already looks a bit like that, I mean, if you notice the sleeve on his right arm is all torn like it was while against Aizen. Minus the chain, obviously, since that only appears in bankai.
I wonder if one of the properties of Ichigo's zanpakuto is that his bankai cannot be stolen.
>>142338736
>cut
He wasn't laughing, he was gritting his teeth. Yhwach was genuinely fearful when Ichigo slashed at him, it reminded him of his dream no doubt. He didn't expect the GRC either. The fight is far from won, but Ichigo has dealt him a critical injury. It may not even be Yhwach that will be the last boss, in which case he may die now. Quincies do have some form of regenerative ability, but it is minor and nowhere near Ichigo's regen. Not even the SK managed to regenerate from the injuries he suffered. Yhwach will have to act quickly. Stealing Orihime's power, or suddenly revealing that she was a quincy all along and have her heal him might work.
>>142336980
His shikai Getsuga has always been white.
I wonder if next is GRAN REY CERO OBSCURAS
>>142338410
Or Yhwach defeats Ichigo, Isshin comes to the rescue and stalls Yhwach so that Ichigo can escape alongside his friends and whomever Kubo deems important enough, through the sun gate Ryuken used or Yukio's box.
Though I think a combination of this and number one is the most likely. Except that everything is as Yhwach wanted. Guess Squad Zero, Urahara or even the whole Gotei might be the enemy of the second half then.
>>142340215
That's his Hollow horn from his Hollow form during/after the fight with Ulquiorra. He grew the horn after channeling his Hollow powers.
His mom was a Quincy and we found this out near the beginning of the arc. So Ichigo's had Quincy powers since the beginning of the series. Old Man Zangetsu is literally Yhwach and the avatar of Ichigo's Quincy powers.
And everybody got bored of the reaction image and it was getting too forced over time instead of capturing the feeling of the threads reacting to each chapter. So it stopped being updated at some point.
>>142340276
What? She's been useful in this fight. What are you expecting her to do?
>>142340411
Isshin is way out of his league and he has two other children to think of. Ichigo is the only one who can stop Yhwach.
>>142340261
But Auschwalen doesn't target all quincies indiscriminately, it's the king who determines who has their power consumed and who gets new ones. And he still needed Ichigo to kill the Soul King for him, at that point. It's the same thing that killed for example Ichigo's mother, but didn't affect say, Bazz-B or any of the other quincies struck by the one when he needed to powerup the fucks fighting the royal guards.
>>142336492
What would be the name of this Cero?
Cero Creciente Pálido? (Pale Crescent Cero; also, "creciente" means "increasing" in English. The Spenish is half-intentional.)
>>142340373
>thinking Ichigo has the upper hand whatsoever
Do you even Kubo?
>>142340572
There is no upper hand here. They're about evenly matched now. Ichigo with his speed and reiatsu blasts. Yhwach with his brute strength and power. Ichigo should've used arterie for the initial attack against Yhwach, then he may have dealt more damage.
>>142340507
Never said he will win. He will just stall Yhwach long enough for Ichigo to escape. Isshin does know how to use FGT afterall. This should give them enough time. But yeah, unless someone saves Isshin, he is probably going to die then. Yuzu and Karin also have Kukaku, who can act as their aunt.
Also what do you think is Isshin going to do in Wharwelt? He and Ryuken are both exiled from their societies. It's obvious that they are only there to save their sons and possibly avenge their wives.
>>142340373
>Stealing Orihime's power, or suddenly revealing that she was a quincy all along and have her heal him might work.
That'd be a way to heal his wounds. It would then make sense why she came to fight.
>>142340674
Neither Yhwach not Ichigo is at their full power right now. Yhwach has The Almighty as well as a number of other abilities at his disposal. Ichigo has a Bankai. There is no way Ichigo can win without plot hax.
>>142340698
Isshin is not exiled, he went missing 24 years ago. Ryuken himself isn't exiled either, it's Souken that was banished from Silbern. Funny that, the Ishidas may be quincies from Yhwach's shadow realm. Which means that Souken's unnamed sister, Ichigo's grandmother was one too. Motherfucker, the Ishidas aren't japs at all.
>>142340813
Ichigo is plenty powerful already and this is just his first melded form. You're gonna get an overdesigned mess with wings, a halo, black claws, full body armor, facial tattoos and horns before this is done.
>>142324147
I feel bad for Aizen at this point. He's not seeing Ichigo in the form that he hoped he achieved. He's just sitting alone in a chair.
>>142340807
>Yhwach: Orihime Inoue, you came to this fight to aid me. It was my will that lead you here.
Orihime would be the biggest traitor in all of Bleach if she did. She might as well kill herself after that.
>>142340821
I meant both are from exiled families. The Shiba family and the Ishida family were exiled from Soul Society and the Wandenreich respectively.
Well Ichigo is also not japanese. Masaki and the Ishidas are probably of european descendant. Soken Ishida may not even be his true name. Isshin is a noble and born in Soul Society, which means he has no no real life ethnicy. Only reason Soul Society is japanese to begin with is because the founding fathers and Ichibee believed in japanese master race.
>>142340910
Ichigo has yet to fully master his powers. He's probably going to train to achieve something, where he can bring both sides out at will. And also a version where the balance skips towards Quincy instead of Hollow.
Ishida is a Quincy, so he has hella Quincy powers.
Rukia and Renji are shinigami, and so they have hella shinigami powers.
Orihime has healing powers and serves as the healer of the group.

Shibas weren't exiled, they were demoted and this wasn't because of Isshin. Most likely it was because of Kuukaku.
But the Ishidas and Kurosakis do have japanese ethnic roots as well. Whoever Souken and his sister married, were Japanese after all.
>>142341065
Fullbringer with poisonous to Quincies hollow powers.
>>142338182
If Ichigo does end up getting a power outside of raw strength then I'm pretty sure it's going to be along the lines of erasing/void. So probably something like erasing things from existence that he cuts or whatever.
I know people have said that FGT Ichigo could cut space, which would fit with the theme and maybe help explain why Ichigo could suddenly cut things he was incapable of prior with power boosts without it just being asspulls by Kubo (but it probably was)
And thinking it out the Shiba clan seemingly has elemental alignments and the only 2 not taken in the traditional 5 elements that we've seen has been Wind/Void. And the kanji for void, 空, can also be translated as sky or heaven and we know Getsuga Tenshou roughly translates to Heaven Piercing Moon Fang or whatever. And there's other comparisons as well.
But that's just a lot of autism and pointless speculation as it will just be whatever the fuck Kubo decides to toss in to take down a literal omniscient/omnipotent god at this point.
>>142341061
Tipping to much towards either side is bad. Tip too much towards the hollow side and he turns into a raving mad hollow. Turn too much towards the quincy side and you might as well hand Yhwach the victory. Ichigo's best chances of winning are by keeping his powers in balance and continue melding them together. Eventually he will become something new entirely.
>>142340498
Stand in a corner and watch Ichigo fight, and it came true.

They had to live in the Rukongai outside the Seretei, which fits my definition of exiled. Sui-feng actually alluded that the Shiba family fell because of a major crime. It's unlikely that Isshin's disappearance was the reason, since Yoruichi also just dissapeared and the Shihoin family is fine. And unlike Yoruichi, Isshin was just part of the head.
Soken's wife and Ryuken's mother might have escaped alongside him from the Wandenreich. It's at least a possibility, but she looked more japanese than Ryuken because of her hair colour. Makes one wonder how Soken looked when he was young.
Ichigo and Uryuu are still more european than japanese, since every Quincy still has european rootes.
>>142341172
It's kinda weird how Kuukaku seems to live out in the boons from apparently a long time, considering that Yoruichi knew the place from way back and that zone was Urahara's base of operations.
But then, you had one of them being a captain (and apparently, he was already a captain 100 years ago, since he wasn't shown intentionally in Turn Back The Pendulum, and we know that people with bankai are pretty rare and highly regarded even among the members of the noble families), and another one that was lieutenant.
Speaking of which, it was never really explained why Byakuya held Kaien in high contempt, was it? Or who was it the first person he used his senkei on. In the beginning it seemed almost like he was the one to kill Kaien, but we know how that went. Then again Kubo maybe just changed his mind.
>>142341476
*Isshin was just the head of a side branch
>>142341476
I'm pretty sure that Yoruichi's disappearance was a big deal, especially since she wasn't exactly super sneaky about it.
>>142341476
Souken most likely had white hair like his son and it's heavily implied that he came from Silbern himself. Ishida Souken is probably not even his birth name. I can imagine that going against the king's wishes and trying to be buddies with the shinigami didn't make him the most popular man around. We'll see in the future when Ryuken inevitably butts heads with Haschwalth.
>>142341504
It's probably Kuukaku's fault that Urahara and Aizen came to know about the king, I remember one of the interviews implied that she was a Royal Guard in the past. In which case most of the conflicts in Bleach can be blamed on her.
>>142341504
We found out about the only person Kenpachi ever admired, so we might find out about Byakuya's person.
Though the only important time frame from recent history is when Ginjou rebelled, which was some time after EBTR, if Tsukishima's age is any indication. Ginjou's past is supposed to be very relevant and seems to be complex. It's also possible that he wasn't the only who rebelled, but the only one, who managed to escape with his life.
>>142341563
Not enough for the family to fall.
>>142341504
It was probably Isshin who he used Bankai on first.
>>142341364
Okay, but she's done a lot more than that. Are you one of those people who set extremely high expectations?
>>142341701
Urahara and Aizen met the Soul King before TBTP and before Kukaku was born or an adult. Urahara was there when he was young, because his replica of Tenjiro's spring existed when he and Yoruichi were still young. And they probably got the idea of creating the Hogyoku from meeting the Soul King.

Did you really think Ichigo need fucking shielding since the beginning? Did you really think that? Are you that deluded that this holy trinity of bleach can't even take a single hit from Yhwach?
Face it anon, Kubo tried to make her relevant, but she can't keep up when Ichigo powers up.
He havn't even shikai/bankai yet.
>>142341950
This, and the only way to make her relevant again is for some asspull to happen, probably to name her captain planet and flies off to space.

Re-reading at the moment and find some interesting things.
I thought quincy don't have reaitsu, or did Kubo forgot?
>>142341950
There's a reason that she was brought to the fight, anon. If there wasn't, she would have been told to fuck off and fight statues with Chad.
>>142342020
>asspull
We don't know what her powers are.
>>142340910
What if Aizen is Yhwach?
>>142342229
Yeah, her faith gives her power ups.
What would you call that in a shonen series, anon?
>>142342204
Yhwach isn't your typical Quincy
>>142342204
Quincy are humans so its understandable that their Reiatsu isn't as strong as a Shinigami's. That's why they use Blut to increase their attack and defense. What separates them from Shinigami that instead of fighting with their own Reiatsu, they fight with the Reishi in their environment.
>>142342262
Aizens Bankai is switching bodies and stealing memories.
>>142342284
No, her will power just makes her powers stronger. She still needs to train vigorously in order to create new powers. We still don't know what her five/six sided shields do.
>>142324147
>Ichigo using Gran Rey Cero at will
I was not prepared for this
Also, I finished reading this chapter before i could even notice, seriously, fucking Kubo.
I feel Kubo is a totally underrated mangaka now. Perhaps because, in my opinion, his shonen "themes" or "events" are too deep for the typical Japanese teenagers. Most people that I know that find the symbolisms, themes ect. are like young adults (18-25).
Sucks Kubo isn't appreciated much.
>>142342204
Quincy didn't have reiatsu only in Vollstandig.
>>142336980
Getsuga literally means "moon fang", so this isn't anything new.
>>142343046
>caring about the opinions of Japanese teenagers
Why?
>>142343144
I don't care, just stating an opinion that Kubo isn't really appreciated. I just see a lot of people complain about him. Just an observation I've had.
>>142325453

He is. It'll get better when the anime comes back.

Kek, do you want Haruhi S3 too?;_;
could someone explain whats going on in the top panel? i can see ichigos horn and the cero forming, but i cant really make out his body under it. what position is he standing in? and is that blood coming from his face on the bottom panel?
>>142343603
Ichigo fell back and raised his sword to form the Getsuga. Then touched it to his horn to start forming a Gran Rey Cero/Getsuga fusion. And yeah that's blood. You need blood to make a Gran Rey Cero.
>>142343603
Yhwach did hit him and drew blood.
>>142343603
Ichigo is standing up (in the air which is why the perspective is so whack), with his face lifted up. And yeah, that's blood, you need to combine blood with your reiatsu to make a Gran Rey Cero. That's what makes it different from regular Ceros, or even Cero Oscuras
>>142343603
His body is cocked to the left of his horn and head. We do not know what part of his body Ywach cut, probably his cheek or shoulder.
You know, this chapter really has put in perspective just how much of a stomp Hollow Ichigo vs Ulqu was. The fact that he can do things like Gran Rey Cero but was simply making use of normal Ceros is some mad humiliation
Why do I get the feeling that Ywhach isn't the final boss?
I'm a neutralfag on shipping war, but I'm noticing Kubo's drawing Orihime looking really stunning. I didn't think of her beautiful until the last chapter, just cute and sexy.
>>142343847
Because Aizen exists?
i noticed his form is basically the same as this page back from the arrancar arc, even the two black lines. only difference is this one is a mask with teeth and hair
>>142343848
The last few chapters she has looked really, really good. I hope Kubo doesn't have anything sinister planned for her.
>>142337131
Side characters always level up offscreen
Just look at Chad
>>142338522
During Hueco at one point Ichigo burned himself on one of her shields, and wondered when she got that strong.
She's weird
Although Zaraki later broke that shield
How the fuck is this manga still going? I stopped reading after ichigo exited kings palace.
>>142344378
It wasn't really offscreen, we did have some mention of her training in Hueco Mundo. It'll be interesting to see if it pays off.
>>142344406
Maybe we'll get an explanation where her powers come from. Maybe.
>>142340373

>>142331034
Ulquiorra's second release is straight up the most powerful arrancar. You (the reader) is supposed to know this by the phrase "not even Aizen knows about this".
This is consistent with the sheer amount of power demonstrated in that fight, from the reiajtsu rain, to the spears of FUCK YOU, etc.
It also stands to reason that cero, whether oscuras or GRC would increase or decrease in strength based on whoever uses it. It propably doesn't matter that much, as any increased power for Cero Oscuras can be explained by Ulquiorra being more powerful than Grimmjow in all 3 of his forms, his base is more powerful than Grimmjow's base, etc.
>>142345745
Anon, I'm one of the biggest Orihimefags on /a/. It's obvious that you're using her solely to upset people here.
You shouldn't do that, she should be used to make people happy.
>>142341172
>>142341172
We don't even know when they were demoted/exiled, or for what.
50? years ago at least the eldest brother was still in 13 divisions. Isshin is MIA from those flashbacks. So is he already gone? If so how long prior?
My thoughts are that he and urahara were up to something, Isshin took the brunt of the status loss/fault. This took the entire family down (but where are the parents? It was just 3 siblings left during Rukia killing Kaiba). What it was couldn't have been too major or they'd have tried to exterminate the whole family relentlessly.
So was it falling in love with masaki 15~ years ago? Fraternizing with a human (interaction doesn't seem explicitly disallowed, but prolonged living with humans is, and why?). SS rules just seem weird and nonsensical to advance the plot at times.
>>142346109
speakin of this, where did gin fit in on the powerlevel charts? he was able to handle ichigo quite easily while aizen was beating up the trio. i believe gin also thought he was the only one able to kill aizen at one point? and indeed aizen did seem to fear for his life for a moment after being struck his gin's bankai, didnt he? or am i remembering that part wrong?
i thought i remember aizen going on about needing fear of death to further evolve or some shit like that
>>142346518
I'd alter it to say that there's still information and timing on the yoruichi-uarahara-isshin-kukaku relationship to reveal. Potentially 2 royal families heads just utterly defecting with information and assets unique to them. With urahara and co. doing research into the world foundations for unknown time frame. These fuckers could be from 100 to 1000 years old.
>>142346657
Gin's Zanpakutou was very broken in what it could do, especially what he used to explode Aizen's chest with.
I don't think his base powerlevel was any higher than high tier captains though.
>>142341092
Ichigo final villain
>>142346469

>>142341935
Maybe Isshin is mad scientist urahara tier but hides it better.
How'd this fucker get a medical license since he doesn't exist? Is he just a quack GP or something more in the genetics direction?
It's why I've hated not having that talk after Aizen. Isshin holds a gigantic wealth of end game lore and why certain things are the way they are and it's dangled in front of us, all to wait 5+ years.
>>142342356
Are they even human considering some of them were like 400 years old.
>>142347078
Urahara probably doctored his records. The guy created the Hougyoku, hacking into the Japanese government should be easy as shit to someone like him.
>>142347012
That's all she's good for.
>>142347012
And that's fine. She's attractive, there's no denying that. Just don't use her to make people upset.
