Haven't posted here in a while, but Bleach has been pretty dull so that's why....



All I can think is deus ex machina....

(if you don't know the term, its a plot device that resolves a...

No early spoilers after a 2 week break :(


Anyways, anybody else feel like this is kind of anticlimactic? You have a main villain for what... the entire manga (although only became apparent ...

Whips cause a lot of damage? Not really, non-bladed weapon with low mass using just speed can't compare to the damage of something with real mass or an edge on it. We don't see great whip users of...

So, does this mean Ichigo and co. vs spirit king now? I mean, Kubo mentioned royal guard yet has never showed them. Aizen had some kind of grudge against the spirit king, Urahara seems to dislike the...

Well, if Ichigo was as fast vs Ulq as he was vs Byakuya in the SS arc, then Byakuya would have a tough time keeping up with Ulq R1, but due to the fluctuating power levels, I have no idea :P.
...

He (shinji) probably said it under his breath.

But yeah, I could totally see Unohana bending Shinji over and spanking him like she was his mom.

Makes me respect Gin's character more. He's definitely one of those the ends (killing aizen) justify the means (being Aizen's right hand man) kind of people I guess.


I just want to see his...

Ulquiorra was the pinnacle of the (then) ongoing motif of very human-like hollows/arrancar.

It started with Ulquiorra landing on earth searching for Ichigo, the first non-shinigami spirits that...

I like Ichigo's new look, longer hair, different zanpakutou (didn't know a zanpakutou would change forms after training....). Now his zanpakutou has a larger guard now, and is no longer just a...

Thank god those spoilers were wrong about Kisame committing suicide, would have been the worst Akatsuki death to date if he actually bit his tongue to suicide. Especially considering that he's the...

In Bleach with Orihime nobody is dead (unless they're hollows, in which case when they are killed there is nothing to "heal"). Not sure if that applies to bad guys that are actually good guys (well,...

Yeah, with the new databook's info on the espada, I wouldn't doubt the ability of espadas somewhat close in number being able to upset the "rankings". It's no longer a definitive Yammi>Stark, or...

Sasuke wins on the basis that his MS abilities are too hax.

If no MS, it would be a damn good fight though.

Komamura definitely. He's fought Aizen twice (and Aizen=god until Ichigo dethrones him at the end) as well as a perfect hybrid Tousen in resurreccion.

Not to mention that his character and morals...

No doubt in my mind that Naruto will learn Hiraishin now. His likeness to his father "Konoha's Yellow Flash" makes it obvious.

Badass chapter though. Naruto can use his rikudou 9 tails mode at...

Damn. Kubo has to say that most espada were "vasto lorde level" instead of just outright saying that they were vasto lorde.

Seems like we'll never know whether we've seen vasto lordes yet.

But...

As expected, Aizen didn't actually die. Kubo, you really got me that time *wink*, I totally thought you would kill off the main badguy of the last 250 or so chapters after that cliffhanger *wink*.
...

Yeah, FKT arc was so pointless and obviously a chance for kubo to show off the abilities of captains and espada.

Aizen could have one shotted all the G13 captains save for maybe Shunsui, Uki and...

Let's see, Ukitake and Shunsui both have long and complicated release commands which sound awesome. Yama-jii's is just badass too. Also like Gin's commands (shoot to kill, die, etc.) and just the...

Omaeda or Ikkaku's shikai.

Omaeda literally has a morningstar flail. Which while cool, is used by one of the least cool and powerful characters, and seems to have no ability other than to crush...

Well, as you all know from the last chapter (414) Gin betrays and seems to kill Aizen. So I just wanted to set up a poll to see what people think.

The poll will expire on Saturday, when the 48...

Only mistake I see is letting Oro get away way back when he found out about his forbidden experiments.

Konoha came out on top in wars. Sarutobi was in support of peace with Uchiha and was against...

I highly doubt Aizen will actually die here and now.

That said, I really hope he does.

Well, I'll consider Naruto w/o Kyuubi mastered. Anyhow, let's analyze the Konoha 11:

Neji: Normally would be the strongest by far of these guys as he's a genius with the byakugan. Unfortunately,...

All of that means nothing considering Hitsugaya still trapped Halibel in the ice obelisk. It doesn't matter if she didn't die, it's an effective defeat.

This chapter screams stall so much it's not even funny:

-All the characters trying to stop Aizen are not even supporting characters, just recurring characters
-They all have no chance of stopping...

Gaara post-timeskip with shukaku I would say would win vs Kakashi.

Gaara w/o shukaku.... tough fight. Raikiri can definitely penetrate sand, but what if Gaara just puts up a wall of sand like 10m...

Beating the dead horse but Tensa Zangetsu (who naturally would know Ichigo best since he is Ichigo's zanpakutou) also said it.

Also eh... @TravisAxel, Hitsugaya didn't suck vs Halibel. He did...

Raikage if not counting space-time as speed (it's teleportation, not speed), if counting speed, Madara or Minato.

*facepalm*

I know what resurreccion is. When was it stated that there is no level beyond resurreccion?

"that imaginary power up would defy the concept of resurreccion"

That's when you said...

This is similar to Naruto w/o Kyuubi. Sasuke would be different, but still very strong. If his clan was still massacred (I mean, if Sasuke has no sharingan, and his family is supposed to be a de...

Rukia's win was a fluke, nobody can contest that. Had Aaroniero decided to toss her aside after impaling her with a trident instead of taunting her while holding her in his face she would have lost....

Where was it stated that they made it to the center in a few hours?

So what if this complete return to base form (as you say) makes Ulquiorra stronger than some or all the espada ranked above him?

IE, if primera etapa is maybe a half-way resurreccion, then segunda...

The cut on aizen never happened, you can check the later chapters and see there is no cut or blood, it was all ks. The only person to truly counter ks was Yamamoto.

How much do we really know of resurrecion? How is SE imaginary, it is definitely real, the question is how big the power up is. Are you saying that ulquiorra didn't get more powerful going from...

It is only irrational in your eyes. Both outcomes seem fairly rational to the majority of posters here.

Kakashi had his luck too. Son to the white fang of konoha, pupil of minato, and part of the tutelage line of jiraiya, hiruzen, shodaime, and niidaime. He also had the benefit of being gifted a...

I think that we can all agree that segunda can go either way in terms of small power up or big power up. I think that the argument over this topic just goes in circles as there have not been any new...

Fixed. Isshin never faced KS. Yama was the one to counter KS by letting aizen stab him, knowing if a real zan was impaling him and not an illusion.

Anyways, i do think that the vizards are...

IMO people like tousen, shinji, and tessai should def make the list before hitsugaya does. Otherwise the list looks decent.

Most likely 48 hour rule.

Anyways, good matchup. Minato's hiraishin serves as a good escape from all of pain's deadly attacks, but it will still be hard for minato's to deal damage if deva pain is...

Tousen kinda talked down to Gin, but Aizen talked down to Tousen even more, while he talks to Gin as an equal (although of late Aizen has been questioning Gin's actions).

Plus Tousen became like...

Thank you for stereotyping an entire nationality.


Anyways, for the (new) purpose of this thread: how naruto would fare w/o kyuubi.

He's clearly naturally talented, given his parents and all....

Gin kills Aizen and reveals he's the real big baddie?

That'd be an uber troll by Kubo and yet another stall tactic.

It could be, but we really don't know until it's clarified/some other arrancar ends up having a segunda etapa.

I have no idea what Gin is doing, I mean, what the hell? Taking Matsumoto aside, only to seemingly kill her/ stab her anyways? Is he just keeping her from getting killed by Aizen by only knocking her...

I have to say, after some boring strings of chapters (Naruto going to the lightning country, beginning of training, etc.), this gaiden is pretty damn awesome.

Really looking forward to this...

I don't know what to think of this chapter. Either Kubo is putting the spotlight on Don Kanonji for more than half the chapter to give comic relief (*cough* *ahem* stall tactics *ahem* *cough*) or...
