So it seems we know how Isshin lost his powers....

Urahara's technique, IMO, requires the someone to transfer their reiatsu into Masaki, in order to save her life. I believe Isshin is the one who...

It's an interesting thought that Yama would use his bankai to stop Isshin. From what we have seem thus far, Yama really does not like Quincies, especially Juha Bach and company. If indeed, Masaki is...

Could you provide the panels where Isshin talks to Urahara as if he is his superior? I don't remember ever seeing that. I do remember Urahara using honorifics when talking to Isshin back when Isshin...

I understand what you are saying. But Aizen's whole reason for going to the real world was to "watch." He could have stayed in SS and let this battle play out and know would would know he was...

It's hard for me to buy that Aizen was scared of losing his experiment. After all, these are just experiments to him, if he fails in this regard, he would move on to the next. He has shown to be not...

Well, in the spirit of getting back on track here...

So do the majority of people here view Isshin's zan as a fire type? If so, would that make FGT a fire related ability? And if that is the case,...

This was an interesting chapter.

I am still wondering if Isshin does have his limiter on. To me it would see likely, as the limiter is applied automatically, and in order for Isshin to really get...

So what did Isshin mean when he told Ichigo that he is not really a shinigami? Does that mean Isshin isn't his father? Wouldnt Ichigo have to have some shinigami in him?

I'm just so confused by...

What did Rangiku mean by Isshin being from a lesser branch?

I thought the Shiba clan was one of the Noble houses?

Can someone explain this to me?

Renji would recognize him as Isshin is a relative of his close friend Kaien Shiba. People are forgetting that shinigami are trained to know about the captains.

I just don't like how there is this...

I'm sure he saw him during his time in Karakura Town. And wouldn't he have seen him at top of the building when Ichigo was stabbed by Rukia during the Fullbring Arc?

You don't have to recognize a name, you can freaking see the person. Toshiro has been in the Kurosaki residence and yet he not once recognized Isshin? No one cared to find out why Ichigo had...

Wasn't Rukia a shinigami before Toshiro? So if Toshiro was the 3rd seat during this Flashback timeline wouldn't Rukia be a shinigami as well? Then why wouldn't she recognize Isshin if he was a...

It also doesn't explain why Rukia didn't recognize Isshin when she lived in ichigos room and thought Isshin was some idiot. Rukia would know what a captain of the 10th division looked like plus a...

Remember when Ichigo and Isshin went to train in the Dangai, Isshin told Ichigo that this was a place that criminals were sent to and that he could fixate the koryu in the dangai by himself. Maybe...

Given Masaki's clothing and the fact that Isshin was bested and injured by something that Masaki killed I am guessing this is recent, a few years before Ichigo was born and when Isshin started...

Can we please find more out about Isshin? We have waited long enough.

Unohana being Kenpachi is good and all, but she still stood by and let the Quincy wipe the floor with the Gotei. Her being the...

Wait, so Ichigo's bankai will never be as powerful as it once was? That kinda sucks. I don't care for the new Quincy powers, I wold much rather have Ichigo use his shinigami powers to beat Juha. Now...

Why did Kubo nerf Ichigo like that? Having his Zan cut and then the realization that his bankia will never be as strong again? Why? What was the point of that? Ichigo just got his shinigami powers...

Based off when Jiraiya trained Nagato I assumed Nagato and Minato were the same age...

But I agree with most people. What was the purpose of the attack on Konoha? Tobi being Obito was just a...

How is Obito the same age as Nagato? I swear once Tobi turned out to be Obito this manga went downhill. Doesn't make sense.

I don't comment often anymore but I felt I just had to say something.

When we first found out Tobi was Obito I thought that there must be some sort of reason Kishi did that, maybe Kishi was just...

I think you are forgetting the circumstances surrounding their encounter Rikudou. Kushina was dying, a loose Kyuubi was attacking Konoha, and Tobi was trying to prevent Minato from focusing on the...

This is why it is really difficult to compare Hokage's in strength because their tactics and abilities were drastically different.

A shinobi like Hashirama, who has vast amounts on chakra, can...

I tend to disagree with you on Minato "Holing Back." Minato, during his short fight with Tobi was able to determine that Tobi had a short window in which he became intangible, and basically...

I agree with KiSwordsman on this issue. It really is a matter of opinion on whether you view this as fanservice or not, however.

Itachi uses more powerful techniques, in my opinion, is a fan...

Well whatever it requires, its still an outrageously haxed plot device. Im tired of the Uchiha brothers, they are so fan-serviced that manga is becoming highly un-enjoyable.

What the hell is this? Why is Kishi giving Itachi ANOTHER power up? This is such fan service its ridiculous. Enough of Itachi, we know he is powerful; he has served purpose in this manga. End it at...

Really didn't like this chapter, that much. To be honest, even though i like Itachi, i just wish he would just stay out of the story. Is he really necessary anymore? In my honest opinion, Naruto...

What kind of writing is this?

First these new guys step into Yama's quarters, declare war and say they are going to kill him, now they just leave him alone? We had 3 chapters of the leader of the...

It could be possible that Szayel Aporro didn't experiment on Hollows to give them Quincy powers? I think it would be more interesting if these were powerful hollows that were given Quincy powers....

I think Ivan is insulted because Ichigo asked if he was an Arrancar, which is a Hollow that's obtained shinigami powers. Knowing the strong dislike Quincy's have for Shinigami i can see how someone...

Wait, so you are saying that JMan elicited similar speed because he was "Popping behind Pain over and over" and yet "Minato was trapped by Tobi's chains?"

You really can't make that comparison...

Not to mention, Nagato revived ALL the people he killed with his blast. That was hugely taxing on his body/chakra.

If we are talking about a fully healthy, no wheelchair, Nagato why wouldn't he be...

To be honest, i know Kisame is a beast (figuratively and literally) but i believe Jiraiya has the jutsu arsenal to counter most of what Kisame has to offer. Not to mention that Kisame only escaped...

To me, Toshiro has shown more than Kensei and even took on head to head a released Harribel. That, in my opinion makes him stronger than Kensei.

In the manga, the sound effects written seem to imply he used Hiraishin to escape Tobi's chains. This is not for certain, but it looks that was, as he used Shunshin to grab Naruto in mid air before...

My thoughts on the ranking...

TIER 1
1) Yama (No Question on this one)
2) Aizen (Again, doesn't need an explanation really, only Yama is higher)

TIER 2
3) *Isshin/Urahara
4) Shunsui/Unohana...

I'm giving this to Minato and Naruto. This incarnation of Naruto, that is fully cooperative with Kurama is just too much for A and even the 3rd raikage. The 3rd Raikage was able to take on 10,000...

I agree somewhat with what you said. Isshin was capable of going toe to toe with Aizen, even in a seemingly unreleased state so it would be hard to see who he would use FGT on if that is how he lost...

Uhh, i wouldn't go that far. We don't know how strong Isshin truly is. He was at least capable of going toe to toe with Aizen for awhile, and having an extraordinary amount of reiatsu.

Quincy's...

Quick question,

Kind of along the lines of what 3c said regarding these Quincy being around during the war/extinction of the Quincy's. Did it say anywhere how long Quincy's live? I mean, they are...

In my opinion, i am actually excited that the Quincy's are coming into play now. People are always so rushed to jump to the conclusion that the Quincy are far inferior to the Shinigami in terms of...

Umm.. look over the previous panels, there is NO inclination that Naruto used clones to make those rasengans. Instead Kishi SHOWED us a rasengan in each of his hands. Also remember that Naruto at the...

Here:
http://www.mangareader.net/93-437-14/naruto/chapter-432.html

And the subsequent panel showed that Naruto made two rasengans in each hand without the use of clones.
...

You are still not understanding what i am saying. So he used other techniques in those fights, the fact of the matter is used his MS techniques more frequently and extensively. His over use of MS is...

Regardless if other attacks proved useless, he still relied heavily on MS. Against Bee, A, Danzou and even in the lesser fight with Kakashi. Every fight he was in after receiving MS, he used it...

I like this one, it takes away a huge part of each characters abilities. Sasuke in post-Itachi fight relies almost exclusively on MS related techniques. However, base Sasuke is greater than base...

This discussion is just going to go on and on. I see no point of either side backing down. Truth is, aside from A mentioning Minato as a faster opponent and Kishi drawing out panel after panel of...

I believe reflexes are movement to an extent. I would say dodging is more along the lines of being related to reflexes but blocking or counter-attacking would be more than just reflexive movement. So...
