This week on Bleach:
If Kubokills of a Royal Guard without showing their BankaiI'm gonna fucking drop it.I-I swear
>>117108192
See you next week.Bankais aren't as interesting as shikais anyway.[/spoiler[
Why are we getting chapters so late into the week lately?
I don't like change.
>>117108279
I didn't see a Naruto chapter last week either. People are slacking.
>>117108244
>See you next week.
Why? The chapter for this week hasn't been released yet and I don't see another Bleach Thread in the catalog.
>Bankais aren't as interesting as shikais
I disagree. also since they are the shinigami's most powerfull weapon it would be a fuck you to the readers if they weren't used in major battles. Oh wait.
>>117108330
Didn't you hear? Kishimoto is doing a spinoff series with Naruto's grandson as the MC. The first chapter is allready out.
>>117108279
if you don't like change, start buying it legally
you'll get it every monday, without it being late because the release date wont depend on what days a guy can steal it before it goes to print
>>117108577
Never got past the first volume of that.
when's the next scenery change so all those forgotten characters can show up
>>117108729
I have some of the tankobons but the release is about a year behind in my country and WSJ doesn't ger released here at all which is a shame.
I won't pay for online releases if that's what you're getting at because that would be retarded.
I guess we have to be gratefull that we can still read manga online after all and shekellords haven't found out about chinese comics yet
Why are scans for weakly releases always blurry and shitty qualita while most monthly releases look fine.
Do they put less effort into weekly or use different scaners or some shit?
I don't understand.
>>117109199
Panda just likes to slap a really bad filter on everything.
But the royal guard doesn't have bankai. They have resurection.
>>117110553
>>117110553
>implying all 5 RG aren't transcendent
>implying they even need Bankai
>implying Nimaiya Ouetsu's zanpakuto harem aren't each of his Bankai
>implying Nimaiya Ouetsu's zanpakuto harem aren't each of his Bankai
This please. Since he is the swordsmith for all zanpakutou he should have a whole collection of bankais.
>Shunsui also uses the word “Kureru” a lot when speaking about things that have been done, and this is also something that is extremely difficult to convey in English. There are various kinds of grammatical specificities such as “Kureru” that modify the nuance of a sentence/statement in Japanese, but for the time being I will focus on “Kureru”.
>The grammar point "Kureru" is used in spoken Japanese a lot and mostly in the context of when someone has done something nice / a favour for you and you are trying to express gratefulness without having to outright state that you are extremely grateful.
>For example, just so you can understand the nuance:
>"Nanao-chan did all my leftover paperwork (Insert Kureru here) today".
>This would express mainly the fact that Nanao-chan did indeed do the leftover paperwork, but it also shows that you are grateful for it.
>Shunsui is stating that the Quincies shattered all of Seireitei -insert Kureru here-. This is perhaps more sarcasm, or just showing that Shunsui can make light of almost anything and take everything in stride – this nuance is very hard to convery – but it is important in conveying the intricacies of a character via their dialogue.
>>117111202
that's not how that works at ALL
he creates the asauchis
he invented the process of making asauchis into zanpakutos
as such, he is connected to all zanpakutos
But he has no power over their form or function.
His bankai is definitely related to the 5, but to say he can use other people's bankais is lunacy.
Why wouldn't he immediately be using them and wiping everyone out?
Why wouldn't he use Unohana's bankai, as we know Kirinji can heal faster than her.
Do you think Kyoraku will have his eyepatch on the next time he shows up?
>>117113927
Aizen doesn't need an eyepatch.
>>117113587
So it would be something like "thank god" or "thank goodness" in english only said in a somewhat exasperated or maybe sarcastic tone?
>>117113876
Because he doesn't want all his harem hunnies to get rapesorbed by YHVH, obviously.
>>117108192
Don't say things you can't possibly take back anon.

>>117114352
Osho uses his fists and Yhwach replies in kind. Osho compliments Yhwach's prowess which the later mentions is something from the creator himself.
Cut to flashback of young Yamamoto and Oetsu sparing with swords. Oetsu wins and proclaims his invention is magnificent. Yamamoto clobbers him with his fist and the two bicker about Hakuda vs the new Zanjutsu. Both are subdued via bakudo by Sensei Osho. He tells them both have merit as do all the styles of shinigami battle he created. Both reply they want to be like him though they likely won't be as good in at least one area. . . .
Flashback ends as we see Osho fire several 90s kido without incantation, though he makes it clear they are at full power. Chapter ends with the Elites & Royals looking on as the battle it out. Then Yhwach emerges with Zanka No Tachi activated.
>>117114002
But he looked so stylish in his bondage bandages.
>>117114412
That's not going to happen.
>>117114412
Sounds absolutelyshit
>>117108192
What the fuck is Ichigo holding? Some new power Kubo pulled out of his ass? I stopped reading when the 'fullbring' bullshit started.
>>117114352
>>117114412
KKKKKUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBOOOOOOO
>>117114623
Read the final arc, then.
>>117114623
he reforged his power. technically fullbring residue is only their, doesn't have his fullbring powers actually there. add how he got his shinigami powers back, means he's ripe to become just like ywach with his own allies power.
>>117114962
Not only does that not answer the anon's question, but I'm pretty sure almost that entire explanation was completely wrong.
>>117114352
>>117114412
its funny how the fake spoilers are always so eventful.
in a real chapter only 1/3 of that would happen.
>>117114412
>implying all of that shit will happen in one simgle bleach chapter
sure m8
>>117114623
You know how people used to joke that Ichigo would turn out to be half-quincy too?
Yeah.His inner hollow was actually Zangetsu, and "Zangetsu" was actually his quincy powers trying to stop him from becoming a real shinigami.
>>117114623
The bigger sword is his inner hollow, the smaller one is old man Zangetsu.
>>117115582
>>117116070
It makes sense in context.
>>117113876
>Why wouldn't he immediately be using them and wiping everyone out?
uh, I dunno.
why wouldn't the Royal Guards be using their bankais and wipe everyone out?
people in Bleach are stupid, remember?
>>117113927
I'm beginning to think it's intentional and related to his bankai. Or Akon just made him a new one.
>>117116143
I love you Aizen.
>>117116143
GEE GUYS, LET'S ALL USE OUR BANKAI ON THESE QUINCY SCRUBS! NOTHING COULD GO WRONG!
>>117116176
Well I have some of the german tankobons and can at least confirm that the missing eyepatch was not a fuck up that was fixed later.
Unless none of his editors or other people related to the production realized.
I'm still in Hueco Mundo arc, this is pretty fun to marathon, but I don't see myself reading it on a week per week basis without hating Kubo and the Jump editors.
>>117108192
>I-I swear
>>117117551
Pretty much. HM arc was the worst in that regard.
Is this your first read-through? If so, where are you currently? It would be interesting to see your reactions to various developments.
>>117117551
Who do you think is the best girl?
>>117117933
Orihime, by far. I don't like anyone else except the karate girl.
>>117118015
You're a man of exquisite taste anon. But the Hueco Mundo arc doesn't treat her well.
>>117117701
Volume 29, nothing important happening. I really want to know Ulquiorra's real power though.
>>117118081
her character goes to shit in mexico, i suggest you find a new waifu before you get really dissapointed
>>117118180
>new waifu
She's not my waifu. She's just my favorite Bleach character.
>>117118092
Oh snap, that's one of the volumes with Cirucci and based Dordoni.
How can Rukia be so awesome?
>>117118678
But... she's not.
>>117118678
She's pretty useless.
>>117118783
>>117118797

>>117118797
>>117118783
porky pls
>>117118840
If you have to post Rukia, at least post her with the best girl.
Anyone have that diagram showing the retarded source of Ichigo's powers?
>>117118840
>>117118883
The post timer has a lag of 3 seconds. This is kind of pathetic, Rukiafag.
>>117118886
I loved orihime as a character very early on when she was a funny ditzy girl, but when she started to get really angsty and jealous of rukia I stopped liking her quite as much. She's okay though.
>>117118930
how rude, I never said I hated orihime
>>117118930
oh my mistake, this probably nadia then
>>117119328
Shit, I forgot all about that bitch. Why did you have to remind me?
>>117117933

Fuck shipping, the girls are all that matter.
>>117118092
So it's been about an hour now, new guy. Not sure how fast you read, but you must be on about vol. 32 or 33 by now, right?
>>117120140
>implying my post about the volume was shipping
Pls.
>>117120226
It actually does. We spent multiple threads "KUBO"ing on the day of the reveal at the foreshadowing we found in previous chapters. I'd post the image that lays it all out, but it's on my external HD, which is elsewhere.
>>117120140
Not always. If you're a fan of trainwrecks, shippers are great.Just ask the Naruto threads.
>>117120226
yes. It's horribly convoluted but it checks out.
>>117120140
Where in my post did I ever mention shipping? If I was bringing up shipping, I would have posted some shit like this
>>117121047
>having shipping shit on your computer
Jesus christ.
>>117120226
It pretty much does. The day the reveal came out /a/ compiled an image of all the foreshadowing, like old man Zangetsu using Shatten Beriech to get Ichigo into his inner world, or using blut to close the bleeding. The following chapter the manga pointed out the exact same things. Word to word.
It was pretty hot.
>>117121169
Hey, it's guaranteed replies, don't knock it till you try it
>>117120675
I think the funniest part is that Kubo probably does all this completely unconsciously. I don't think he actually puts that much thought into it. He just wings it right. Like, really fucking right. And he writes backwards all the time. Like it's pretty sure he came up with all that shit about what Zangetsu did back then the same way /a/ did. It just all makes sense. The manga is written in a way that it's incredibly easy to retcon without breaking the lore or the plot. Everything's so vague and so up to interpretation that if Rukia would turn out to be Aizen's parther all along there would be three images the next day explaining how much sense it makes, and it would.
>>117108577
>author is twin
>gotta make another crossover
shit
>>117120345
Why would I rush so much? I read a volume a day, two if there's a cliffhanger. And today it was Vol. 28.
>>117117551
>>117118092
>>117120345
Please respond.
>>117121490
Based Kubo will always be based.
>>117118092
>I really want to know Ulquiorra's real power though.
>>117122696
Oh. Well it looks like I posted a few seconds too early. Anyway, I suppose that's a good idea. Wouldn't want to rush through it all and then be stuck waiting for weekly chapters like we are.
>>117120675
I can't wait until Kubo reveals Ichigo to also be part Namekian because Shiro visited Namek that one time. Bleach and Naruto went to shit when the MC got too many plot power ups.
>>117121490
Loose writing makes this very possible. I'm of the opinion that Old Man Zangetsu was always intended to "not be a real sword spirit" just because of how often Ichigo broke the damn rules.
Seriously, in Heuco Mundo Ichigo must have broken every established rule we had for Bankai. They break when the user is near death or dead, expect for Ichigo who keeps his sword in Bankai even when he was killed (twice). Bankai are large and unwieldy taking years of practice to use well, except for Ichigo who has a small one that EVERY SO SUSPICIOUSLY has 7 links of broken chain on the end and looks like a basic sword, and he figured out how to use it in less than a day. Bankai must be called to release your sword, except for Ichigo who caused his Bankai to release without its command on at least 2 occasions in Hueco Mundo.
I would have just written it off as laziness and poor writing expect there were other characters with Bankai who were still following these rules to the letter. It was only Ichigo who bent all of these rules, and many of the characters who were "in the know" kept mentioning it.
So while I don't buy that Kubo planned it to be a Quincy king from the beginning, it seems pretty plasuible to me that it was always planned not be his real sword spirit, while Whitey was.
>>117122986
Ichigo didn't get "too many powerups" until this arc. The Arc people said was the worst (Hueco Mundo) was the one arc where he DIDN'T get any new powerups.
Also, giving your MC too many powers is still better than not giving your MC any reason why they're better than everyone else but they win anyway because Nakama! That shit is even lazier.
>>117122986
>plot power ups
No, reread the image. It's the power Ichigo has always had but never knew how to use, because in all honestly it's beyond what anyone can teach him. This has been consistent since before Soul Society with the analogy of a leaking faucet, and Ichigo has been gradually learning to control the flow. So far only Aizen has known what it's like to be on the level of Ichigo at full power. I don't really see the comparison to Naruto bu then again you didn't really attempt to make one.
>>117123338
>The Arc people said was the worst (Hueco Mundo) was the one arc where he DIDN'T get any new powerups.
So when Deicizen said that Ichigo had briefly become a Transcendental, but had lost that power, this is what he was referring to, right?
>>117123338
I just want Ichigo to get some new fucking moves.
>>117123478
Ichigo is so handsome. He should fuck all the girls.
>>117123338
>The Arc people said was the worst (Hueco Mundo) was the one arc where he DIDN'T get any new powerups.
Not that true. He was getting gradual powerfuls. More mask time. First it was just a few seconds. He learned to repair it too while was still on. Then the whole horned monster thing and the mask pattern change after that.
>>117123478
It's okay, he has Bankai mode Getsuga Tenshou too.
>>117123549
>his new super move is two getsugas at once
You're really trying my patience Kubo. If you keep this up I'm going to totally keep reading every week - but in a mad way.
>>117123478
He already got a new move.
>>117123608
Kubo really loves numbers. Expect Mugen Getsuga Tenshou.
>>117123608
>reverse getsuga tenshou
>its the exact same damn thing except its the color white.
>>117114412
That's something that would take 15 chapters in actual Bleach. And Oetsu would never beat Yamamoto at anything. They aren't even remotely in the same age group either.
>>117123642
Kubo pls.
>>117123478
Getsuga Tenshou aside, Ichigo is a pretty stylish fighter, especially in the earlier arcs.
>>117123697
Did you expect him to get some none-offensive power?
I'd have given him some binding techniques involving the theme of chains, maybe.
>>117108192
They have bankai? my friend here swears they dont because they were there before even before zanpakutos appeared. They invented the fucking thing, they should be superior beeings, with 100% power right from the start without zanpakuto releases.
>>117123857
>zanpakutos
>s
>>117123145
>expect for Ichigo who keeps his sword in Bankai even when he was killed (twice).
Actually Ichigo's Bankai reverted the first time he was "killed" by Ulquiorra.

I couldn't give two shits about powers: I find character personalities, motivations, development, actions, etc. way more interesting and relevant to the story.
btw, look at the size of these titties!
>>117126551
Those are indeed sizable titties. She's probably at Matsumoto size now.How big will she be in the epilogue?
>>117126588

But Ichigo is clearly a lolicon or something.
>>117127196
no, he likes grown women: recall peeking at Matsumoto's teasing
I wonder how many Karakura kids have fapped to Orihime. I wonder if Ichigo, Chad, and Uryu have.
>>117127515
Uryu is too pure. Ichigo is too prudish (unless Kon in his body counts). Chad is too much of a man's man, if you know what I mean.
>>117126329

>>117114623
To be fair, this new power out of his ass is one of the best power ups in Bleach, despite this being a horrible arc again.
It pretty much deals with him coming to terms with both his inner hallow and "Zangetsu."
>>117128465
I'm sorry anon, shit taste is terminal.
>>117124204
Given Aizen's powers this is debatable/
So, a fully powered Nurutu vs a fully powered Ichigo.
Who would win?
>>117129214
Anyone in Bleach of significance can destroy anyone in Narutoverse's soul with their reitatsu and is also invisible, now get that shit out of this thread.
>>117129214
Forget Naruto. What about Uchiha Madara? And I'm referring to Rinne Tensei Madara Uchiha with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan doujutsus (with the rikidou paths ability) equipped with his Gunbai and control of the juubi and Gedou Mazou, a complete Susano'o, with Hashirama Senju's DNA implanted in his chest so he can perform Mokuton kekkei genkai and yin-yang release ninjutsu as well as being extremely skilled in taijutsu and bukijutsu.
>>117129281
Not reading naruto, but can all that shit withstand a tactical spirit nuke from an invisible, teleporting ghost?
>>117129465
I dont know much about Naruto except for the segments I cared about, but it seems Madara can reflect most attacks, Pain could toss invisible force nukes, and Obito became god.
>>117129565
>>117129465Madara stole Obito's powers and then did one better, but then a huge tweest revealed that he was not the final baddie and he got smacked like a bitch.

I skipped a lot of the Manga to be honest, and since the anime was right there at it I decided id check that out, but its insane fucking filler.
>>117129214
Live people against death people/ghosts, anon.
>>117129281
Well, Ywach could rip any of them apart. Other than that, Urahara and Yoruichi with prep time. Aizen even without prep time, but he's gonna pretend that he had prep time just to sound cool. Tessai can stop time. And all of these people are ghosts.
If we want to be fair, let's match up the Naruto chartacters with some of the Fullbringers instead. Those are real humans. Visible folk.
Let's say, the entire Naruto universe versus Facebook. Three chapters later they are all best friends and the war is over because everyone respects Facebook so much that they are willing to put down their differences and live in peace.
How's that?
I stopped reading after the first time it ended. Did Ichigo find the bleach yet?
Ukitake is about to fuck shit up.

Naruto no contest
He routinely causes mountain shattering explosions
Ichigo's only done that once.
>>117126329
>Porky still posts here?
No she does not.
At least, not to the best of anyone's knowledge.
These days a few extremely disgruntled Rukianons call anyone porky that's not attacking Orihime whenever she gets brought up.
>>117121047
I like how people seem to think that the gigantic, hit you over the head with it, yin-yang imagery of Ichigo and Rukia means shipping.
With all the metaphors Kubo uses in bleach, you'd think people would get this.
>>117130640
>powerlevels
i know, i know
but didn't ichigo do that with just a swing of his sword? and in his hollow form he could spam nukes without care or worry about tiring out.
P;us his hax quincy powers will let him recycle the energy anyway
>>117130757
Ichigo's poems:
"I wonder if I can keep up with the speed of the world without you."
"That's right, nothing else can change my world."
gee anon, I don't know about you, but those seem pretty shippy to me
Could also be kubo baiting fujoshits
so fun fact worth noting now that raws from last week have made it around is that yhwach did not give himself The Voice as a schrift but as a different arbitrary ability
>>117130757
i don't think you quite understand what a yin yang is or symbolizes. a simple black and white motif is not the same as a yin yang theme.
>>117130915
Do you have the entire RAW?
Share?
>>117130961
if you don't think that the ichigo/rukia dynamic is yin/yang, I don't know what to tell you
>>117130838
I don't see how that's shipping
Having someone be a life changing character is a common trope in dragon ball
See : Bulma and Goku in Dragon Ball
Botan and Yusuke in YYH
There are plenty more examples.
Usually if the author is going to actually have the one who changed their world be a romantic lead... he makes them a romantic lead.
Kubo has, quite painfully, removed Rukia from any significant action for hundreds of chapters at a time.
>>117131000
there's no positive-negative balance involved, they aren't opposites, they aren't specifically or explicitly complementary to one another, they aren't mutually interdependent, they don't have a cyclical relationship of creation/reinforcement, and there is no synergy in their relationship. There's literally nothing specifically yin yang-like about them. It's just a simple black/white color motif.
>>117130964
nyaa and harukayumenoato ought to have the full issues up. though if all you want out of them is bleach it might be quicker for me to post it page by page.
>>117130265
Urahara with prep time vs. Batman with prep time?
>>117131062
Rukia is life-changing for Ichigo emotionally, though.
Rukia might not be much involved in the current plot, but that's due to Kubo's incompetence. Ishida is CENTRAL to the current plot, and he hasn't done a single important thing for the entire arc!
>>117131062
This is kubo, he removes the main protagonist for more than a dozen chapters at a time. The quincy arc seems to be more about change in general of the way things work.
Before that Rukia was given a significant amount of attention
>>117131163
You could post the entire thing here. I'd be thankful for that.
>>117131163

Get your shipping bullshit out of here Rukiafag. You're every bit as bad as Porky.

If you didn't drop it during Rescue Arc #3 then you are not going to drop it ever. Face it, you are way too committed to this thing to leave it, you've spent so much time reading it that you will feel it is all wasted if you don't stick til the conclusion.
Meanwhile, I got out of this during Orihime rescue. I plan to skip the obvious filler arcs (arracanar, whatever was after that, etc) and just get to the last arc and see if the guy actually concludes the story.
>>117131240
I'm pretty sure that "Kamikake" is some sort of therapy for Ukitake that temporarily restores him to full strength.
But he and Shunsui sure do come off a bit sinister.
>>117131102
>positive-negative balance
That's not negative and positive in a "good and bad" sense, it's the absense of versus an abundance of, like positive and negative on a number line
Yin is female, the moon, shaded (as in, hidden, hard to see the truth of), and the netherworld
All very Rukia esque
Yang is active, male, the sun, belonging to the world of the living, and open (in terms of personality, this is a honest, up front personality)
all very ichigo traits
>>117131269
oh I should point out these are my level-adjusted copies of the chapter. The raw files out there would be the straight scans in grayscale.

>they aren't mutually interdependent
don't know about Rukia but Ichigo certainly is physically. He has the poems admitting it and needed to be smacked out of depression twice by her
Rukia is always praising ichigo when we see her inner thoughts and has the highest opinion of him from everyone in soul society. When she was about to be executed, anytime she was around him her will to live came back
>>117131378
>>117131349
when I get old, and fat, and bald, I'm gonna cosplay this guy
Running around, stroking my beard, and waving a giant paintbrush at people
>>117131314
except those are both meaninglessly vague attributions that apply equally to an number of characters and you've got the black and white mixed up.
>>117131384
>mutual
yin and yang work in balance, one side being more or less dependent on the other doesn't work
>>117131384
I think part of the issue is that the first two arcs were really about Ichigo and Rukia being the Yin and Yang, whereas the next two arcs were more about Ichigo representing balance as a whole.
As the story goes on, Ichigo doesn't need Rukia at all anymore.
>>117131408
>>117131489
>>117131464
So adding to that, Rukia spent the two year time-skip in the novel getting the necessary approval to bring ichigo back into her life with his powers back. That's got to show some interdependancy
>>117131520
>>117131464
>except those are both meaninglessly vague attributions that apply equally to an number of characters and you've got the black and white mixed up.
I never said anything about black and white
And those INDIVIDUAL traits apply to a number of characters, but the entirety of the list really only applies to Ichigo and Rukia
You know
The sun and the moon, as we so often here.
(also, Isshin and Masaki are sun and moon as well, with Isshin being the moon and Masaki being the sun)
Kubo likes his yin-yang dynamics in bleach
Quincies and Shinigami in general also fit the dynamic.
>>117131414
>tfw you'll never has his beard genetics
;_;
>>117113587
>"Nanao-chan graciously did all my leftover paperwork today".
They make it sound more complicated than it really is.
>>117131536
the issue was that Ichigo's the one who relies on her almost exclusively and continuously. Ichigo attempted to rescue her once, and technically failed because Aizen got to her and took what he needed anyway. Rukia going out of her way to help Ichigo yet again doesn't resolve that problem.
>>117131536
>novel
that doesn't really count, as the novel also had Kenpachi's shikai power be what we now know is just his own emotional trauma.
>>117131598
yin is female, moon, the dead and BLACKl and obviously yang is thus male, sun, life and WHITE. Your attributing its features were on the basis of color to start with and the features and colors don't match.
>>117131601
As a bearded man, I can tell you, there is hope.
My beard when I was a young man (20) was quite thin and weak compared to the rather robust beard grow now, more than a decade later
Your beard dynamic (mostly fullness, but sometimes shape) changes as you approach 40, sometimes even continues until 50

Am I the only one who thinks that it's either a foresight or all-seeing-eye technique, possibly his bankai?

One was Spirits are Forever With you Vol 1, and one was Spirits are Forever With You Vol 2, both written by the same author, and both addressing the same time period.

his shikai does mean "Truth of Pisces"
I wonder if it's real power is being able to see the "truth" of things.

Just because it's their most powerful weapon doesn't mean it's going to be useful for every fight.
>>117131240
sounds like a borrowed time deal. maybe Ukitake will reveal that other than general constitution his sickness was holding him back in other ways and he'll be totally OP just long enough to threaten yhwach before his time runs out and he just get brushed aside as yet more fodder.
>>117132108
>Y and Y
Kubo makes fools out of all of us. He is in our heads, just look at what you write, it sounds absolutely ridiculous.
But I can't stop now, I have to see the end.

slight addendum
>>117132899
>Ishida vs. Hitsugaya battle
Always the #1 thing I think of when it comes to OPs having stuff in them that never comes close to happening.
Wait, What if Aizen's Bankai is same as Infinite Tsukuyomi?
>>117132962
>Since when were you under the delusion that Naruto was over?
>>117132961
That would have been pretty cool, but Ishida v. Mayuri was quite well done in my opinion. If I had to pick, I would pick what we got
>>117132381
huh
that could be interesting
if he basically did something that would mean he'll succumb completely to the illness, in order to let him go full on for one fight.
>shunsui/ukitake bankai both against Juha

Where is she?!
>>117128465
>I've never understood the appeal to Orihime
She's the nice girl
She doesn't want anyone hurt
She just wants to make people happy
that sort of sweet, wholesome attitude is uncommon for many of us
>>117133156
Hm, okay then. Thanks anon.
>>117127515
Fucking tatsuki, making ichigo her bitch
>>117133284
>Fucking tatsuki
If only Ichigo would.
>>117133284
Ichigo's entire non-Soul Reaper life is just him getting bossed around by women. Between Tatsuki at school, Ikumi at work and Karin at home, he's basically got to go to SS just to escape.
Unless that's his kind of woman, then I wouldn't be surprised
>>117133360
I wish Tatsuki had gotten some development
>>117133379
>go to SS just to escape.
isn't that exactly how Rukia treats him?
>>117133393
Did I say SS? Silly me, I meant to say Hueco Mundo. Of course I didn't forget about Rukia, why that would be silly of me and it would be rude of you to not-imply it.
Though if I were to have forgotten Rukia for some reason then that just proves my point more. His whole life is just women who boss him around and get on his shit because he's too polite to be like. "I could murder all of you by existing."
>>117133455
>hueco mundo
Nel was constantly bossing him around
"you should never say that to a lady, even if she's REAL heavy!"
>>117133515
Did I say Hueco Mundo? Oh silly me, I stuttered again. I meant to say Hell, the place that has zero relevant females in it who can boss Ichigo around
>>117133645
Ichigo's never been to hell.
We don't count non-canon things
>>117132961
I think i might have liked quincy supremacy take down ice shota
>>117133657
We know Hell is canon because it was big ass giant doors Rukia summoned at the start of the series.
But I will still have to concede. Even Hell would not be an escape for him. Rukia would probably team up with Nel, Tatsuki and Ikumi just to rescue him
>>117133758
Kubo forgets it in the first place
>>117133758
>Rukia summoned at the start of the series.
She didn't summon a damn thing, the portal came on its own because it's a universal law that sins committed before turning into Hollows won't be forgiven, Shinigami don't have any power over Hell.
>>117113587
>Is polite when referring to the Quincy.
>Is grateful the Quincy destroyed SS.
>Ukitake says Shunsui let the Quincy invade the Royal Palace, which he doesn't deny.
>"The divine presence is now working in our favor."
>brb Ukitake, I'm off to visit Central 46.
If these twoand Aizenturn out to be the actual big bads, I will take back everything bad I said about Bleach ever.
So any chance of an early release today, or just the new standard of mid-day thursday

One Piece spoiler images are out, so it's possible that we'll get it today.
>>117135571
I'll actually read the chapters and not just quickly flip through them.
>>117129281
I just realized this maymay was made to make Naruto look retarded
>>117135571
To be entirely honest, I'm hoping they drag Mayuri up to the Royal realm. That fucker could go wild with the shit up there. We'd see like full out poison moth mode.
>>117123857
This.
I don't know where everyone keeps getting that they have Bankai's. Shikais and bankais are unleashing the zanpaktou's spirit's powers.
The royal guard don't have zanpaktou's, they have "tools", which I assume is similar, but they aren't the same. They manipulate their powers through them, but they don't have a soul or spirit.
>>117136465
Except for our favorite black guy.
Crack theory of the day - the zanpakuto he's wielding isUnohana
>implying Ukitake didn't die years ago from his illness and Aizen created an illusion to replace him and manipulate the SS
Calling it
>>117136710
>implying Ukitake isn't the illness.
>>117136838
If Ukitake is the cancer killing Soul Society, who is the chemo?
>>117136465
Except if they were just tools then Tenjiro Kirinji's weapon wouldn't have the release command "Tensho Issen" and the name "Kinpika".
Just because Zanpakuto didn't exist before they we're born doesn't mean they can't do what everyone else did and just pick one up once they became a thing. Yamamoto and Unohana were from that time and they have Bankai, There's no reason to assume they don't have them. They could just battle with what they know, so Shutara is boss at stitching and sewing so she uses that, while Tenjiro fights with the water from his pool.
At the very least, Hikifune should have a Bankai because she was a captain of the 12th Division until 100 odd years ago
>>117136857
Aizen.
>>117136875
The way I took it, Kirinji's paddle, Shutata's needle, Hikifune's spoon, Monk's paintbrush, and Nimaiya's sword are all just the sealed forms of their Zanpakuto.
>>117136932
See, that's the logic I used. Except for possibly Ouetsu who I could understand not having a Bankai, everyone else should easily have one
>>117124084
good one
