I'm down to guess the ranks out of 0 Div. (in terms of power)

5- The Rose mashup w/ glasses
4- Samurai looking dude
3- Chubby chic who no one wants to be Hikifune
2- The better looking chic...

Great chapter but damn it, another cliffhanger and no return date! Arghhhhhh!

Still love Berserk though :)

I agree with that theory and what everyone else is thinking in that Bach and Haschwald wanted him to join them all along. That's why he was probably relieved that he wouldn't interfere when he went...

I like these points cause I thought the same thing... but could the fact that he can see the channels just a product of worlds merging? I'm not sure but just a thought. That link which showed the...

I've been thinking, what if the Royal Guard have bankais like Ichigo's where they can't be stolen for whatever reason? I'm hoping that's the case cause then what would be their special significance?

I agree with everyone re: LordZet's irrational comments... dude, what type of manga did you expect????

We the leaders? wtf? i think you meant readers and from what I can tell, the majority like the way Kubo's doing this last arc. He owes us nothing, esp since most of us aren't even paying to read the...

Pretty epic ch.. Byakuya's dead and I believe The Wanderer said it best that when his blade broke it signified his death.. sad, but looking back, he was paired up against the wrong Sternritter...

Interesting theory. Isshin does look young and I'm not sure if I can recall anytime in the manga where they refer to his age, so it's possible. But then again, I think Kubo can get a lil more...

Actually I think Renji would go before him but hey, I'm just speculating here haha. Like some ppl said, I really want to know where Kenpachi ends up and I wouldn't mind a little back and forth action...

Well I don't think Orihime and Ichigo's reiatsu can compare since he's worlds beyond, hence the reason he's a "war potential"

I like that idea, esp since Kubo did say that SS will be in ruin this arc. Judging from the beginning stages of this war, it seems that can be so. I wish the next chapter was out now!

I think she would have been able to deal a deadly blow when she was reverted back to her original form while released before transforming back to her childlike state, but that can be debated forever...

The bloodlines are an educated guess based on Krige's assessment of Uryu's potential, which makes sense but who knows how Kubo will surprise us next. Chad in a fullclad hollow/fullbring type suit...

Didn't we see Ivan use that same medallion everyone in the Vandenreich ranks presumably has and it didn't work? If he beats Ichigo, it will have to be off of sheer strength/reiatsu.

What I'm having a hard time remembering is, when did any of the older captains acknowledge Isshin's existence?

Well it could be the beginning stages of his transformation like the Skull Knight, but obviously too early to tell. Here's hoping for the next chapter to come out sometime this year. Seriously!

@Jack Van Burace,

I like your decaying of the fruit analogy to describe Guts in this whole thing and the fact that he has to fight w/ aid from now on, but I'm not so sure he's gonna get back to...

Just to add, it almost feels as if these guys are the manga versions of the Bount characters from the anime (remember those bums?), but with a twist obviously. Ishida's thought process was what...

I for one can only hope this sea god chapter end soon cause some story progression would be nice... but I'm not ungrateful. Love Berserk and thinking could Guts sustain a serious injury due to what...

I wouldn't mind the story shifting in a sort of Ichigo being recruited into SS, learns skills he didn't before like kido, hakuda, hoho and possibly getting into the royal realm via some situation?...

She has had some sort of hollow "influence" if you will since her brother became one after he died... not sure if her parents were alive or not, so far back I forgot.

I don't think it's that far-fetched seeing as how to use fullbring, first timers use an object they hold close to their hearts, and in Orihime's case it's her hairpin. I could be wrong but I'm just...

I agree with everyone that I wish Miura would pick up the pace a bit, but when you're creating story AND magnificent drawings, there's a price to be paid.. in this case, it's time. One thing that I...

Well first of all with all due respect I'm sure you meant build* up or was built* (sorry I'm kinda lame for correcting) but it seems nothing Kubo does is satisfying you for whatever reason. I don't...

So wait, there was no indication on the next release?! Shit!! Guess a re-read is in order...

Well I'm not sure, it's def more complicated than that. If that technique makes you lose your shinigami powers, I'm sure the Royal Guard can do it but would they want to? Unless you look at it from a...

Nah brah. Everyone knows, and Kubo said it himself, that there are at least 2 more arcs coming, with one highlighting Isshin's past.

I agree pretty much even though I think the reiatsu was coming from his body not necessarily the chain, but maybe I have to look at it again. Either way, I don't ,mind if this fight ends in the next...

Like many said about Tousen and how he was so adept to detecting reiatsu and such, but once he went through his hollow transformation he lost all of that and had no interest in it, so I see the...

I was thinking the same thing, but since he has so much reiatsu, with his shinigami and hollow side, then technically he still has an advantage with him only using his shinigami half and (if able to...

I think there's too much reading into that statement. I guess by right now he means in terms of what's going and both of their statuses at the moment and not temporary or it'll go against what you...

I like your theory Shiro, sounds the most plausible right now, but what it things go as planned with Caska being cured before the Band of the Hawk destroying Elfheim, or better yet if they destroy it...

Now that would be a twist we could see coming, but would Kubo take such a risk to make his main protagonist the new villain IF his hollow were to grasp his power now? Not so sure but we'll see

I agree with that, it was rather odd how so much attention was placed on Orihime, maybe a new set of enemies could have found out about her powers and want them for the next arc? Royal Guard, etc....

I'm hoping to see a somewhat reasonably lengthy fight in anticipation of Kubo possibly showing off the type of fighting power and prowess Ichigonator had but with the total state of control and...

Well archangels are in the third sphere while seraphims are in the first, so you were right as far as them being the highest ranking. Sorry for nitpicking but anyway, I feel with Aizen in the form...

I've read just about every post in regards to what's going on and can safely say I have no idea what's going to happen next thanks to Kubo's writing but you have to ask yourself, poison that can...

Ah, good point. What about Gin leaving Aizen? Chad is with most of SS crew in HM so I'm pretty sure he'll get back barring some twist.

Well I'm guessing Orihime's gonna have an important role in destroying it since she has the power of rejection, unless Urahara comes up with a method with all this off-page time he's been having

I agree since he did say that the hyogoku breaks the barrier between shinigami and hollow, and from what we've seen so far, he's only used it on others physically showed the barrier breaking, but...

I for one hope Urahara shows up since if Aizen's going to fuse with the hogyoku, Isshin's going to def need his help since he is the one who created it and should know what effects it could have when...

The implied context of the conversation seems to go in that direction, but I mean I'm sure Gin is trying to kill Ichigo this time around

Well I'm hoping for an epic showdown, exchanging blows with a timely exit once Aizen & Gin get outmatched, but we'll see... btw where are the raws for this week's chapter? Anyone?

Sounds good but I think I read one intv from Kubo saying how he likes keeping the element of mystery in terms of Aizen, so I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get that in depth look at him, but then...

Well that definitely would bring Kubo's statement of Unohana being involved in a major fight into fruition. I for one wouldn't mind that turn of events, unless it involves her death...

Well I'm sure his bankai could have been along the lines of what he was going to do to Aizen before WW stepped in, either that or something similar, I mean he did have a fire zanpakuto, but I could...

Good point, gracias for the input. A darker direction would be nice but I keep forgetting this is a weekly manga geared towards the semi-youngsters.

All in all, good chapter, seems the spoilers weren't fake after all. I for one hope Captain Commander doesn't die, but seeing it was a high level kido spell coupled with his already weakened state, I...

Yeah, that panel caught my attention as well, most likely the village folk aren't what they seem, question is are they in with the sea god or Isma or neither, damn these breaks...
