Ichigo seems different than when he fought Ulquiorra. He doesn't seem cocky like he was before he fought Ulquiorra about finishing things fast. It looks like he might've gotten rid of the 'candy'...

Why doesn't anyone include Orihime in any of the teamup predictions really. Well if she does take part it would be really mainly on Ichigo's side than Grimmjow's.

Personally, it wouldn't suprise...

I don't think Itachi is quite at that point yet. I'm thinking that his eyesight will get to that point in the middle of a fight. Whether that fight is with Sasuke, Naruto, or Kakashi is up in the...

I think the series still has some gas in it really depending if Kishi doesn't try to make things drag along. I think the Uchiha revenge plot can be resolved in like 30 chapters at the most in my...

I'm thinking things are being set up a bit like they were in the SS arc. You know Ichigo and Renji had a rivarly and Byakuya pwned Ichigo at first and served as the marker he had to reach to win. ...

I agree, Ichigo does look like he is older than 15. Hell Orihime looks like she is older than 15. I think Kubo should've made them all older like 17 or 18. At least that way they'll look more...

Personally, I'm thinking he'll bring Ichigo to Aizen and let Aizen decide. Ichigo is in no shape to put up a fight so Ulquiorra has time to burn before he finishes him off completely.

I'm thinking Karin is at least proficient enough in taijutsu so that she can keep up with ninja at Sasuke's, and Suigetsu's level for awhile.

What facts? There is nothing that shows that Noitora is number 1. All we have seen is that Noitora has a big ego and thinks he is the strongest.

And Noitora did essentially say that his rank is...

I don't know what translation you got but all the ones I've read translated into Noitora saying he was the strongest or a variation of being the strongest. He never stated his number.

Just cause...

I wouldn't say Ichigo's mask is too weak yet. Remember Ichigo is still suppressing his hollow and not working with it. Hiyori did gripe at him during their training at chapter 224 page 19 about it....

Actually, I saw it more as shock at first and hope rising. If Naruto was told that Sasuke was coming back then he definately would've had his usual reaction.

I'm thnking we'll see more of...

I'm expecting Ulquiorra to start whipping Ichigo soon but Ichigo will get an upgrade that allows him to keep up but I don't expect him to win alone. I think while Ichigo is fighting Ulquiorra,...

I think Orihime's powers potentially don't have any limits but the only limits are that she can only do so much as she is mortal and there is also the fact that she just learned about their full...

I'm thinkin Ulquiorra countered with a Cero or he released but I'm thinking a Cero is more likely. Either way I'm expecting Ulquiorra to be bloodied up a good bit for being arrogant enough to not...

Actually just cause that guy was strong enough to survive getting the CS2 doesn't really mean anything. For all we know he could've just been a civilian or a low level ninja.

I'm thinking that Sasuke won and absorbed Orochimaru into himself. The "bodies" just show that a remnant of the previous hosts still remains so some of Orochimaru still remains inside of Sasuke like...

If we do get a Renji/Noitora fight I hope Chad rejoins the fight against him half way through it and we get a Renji/Chad tag team fight. That's the only way I could see Noitora being beaten at the...

Agreed! He has to have some measure of strength to base his confidence over or else he'd be a pretty weak opponent.

I really don't see the point of seeing Chad dying or any other major characters right now. Also the way it is done is a bit anticlimatic. I have no problems with Kubo making us think he is dead and...

Considering how upset Orihime is maybe she'll send her fairies to heal Chad. That or we'll see Chad do some sort of hollow regeneration and be back in fighting condition. Of course this happens after...

He hasn't necessarily lost yet though. We don't know who's blood that is or even if it is Chad's how serious is the injury? Remember Ichigo bleeds practically 2 human bodies worth of blood each fight...

Well if he gets armor on both arms it means he can mix things up a bit. If he only has one limb that could hurt you then his moves become kind of predictable. Unless Chad is strong enough to at least...

I figured he used his bow for mid-range as well as that isn't his weakness and at that range he usually still has some maneuverability. It's being in close range that is his weakness.


Another...

Well, if the sword isn't temporary then it just may be quite the drain on his strength so it would best be served as a temporary weapon as Ishida doesn't have Ichigo's level of reiatsu.

Well, the sword is a pretty basic weapon and good for someone who fights with speed and yet still give you good reach to hit something. The only thing better for the speed kind of fighting Ishida...

Exactly what I was thinking. It's like archers carryiing swords so they won't be as defenseless when swordsmen get in close with them.

Nah, we know Chad is fighting at the moment as well so it would be him next. Renji hasn't even run into his opponent yet. I'm more curious as to where Rukia is. It's starting to get me thinking that...

Oh, I'm sure Ishida is still going to use speed and arrows as his main weapons but the sword allows him to be able to protect himself in close combat now or if his opponent is able to negate his...

Well, from the initial looks of things it looks like Renji and Dondochakka will be getting their opponent soon. Of course I'd laugh my ass off if they both get prepared to fight just to find out that...

Considering that there is now cannon fodder running around hunting for Ichigo, it gets me thinking someone wants him captured or killed and it gets me questioning on who sent those orders?

I can...

Well, if you recall when she was pwned by Grimmjow she was busy attending to Ichigo. Who knows she might've done better against Grimmjow if she didn't have her attention on Ichigo.

Also, if you...

Looks like Dordoni took a shine to Ichigo and tried to teach him that he has to be ruthless if he is to have any chance in HM on rescuing Orihime. I'm hoping Ichigo will take that advice to heart...

Interesting chapter. Hopefully Ichigo learned that he has to be ruthless against the arrancar if he wants to have any chance to win.

I think it's more of a common sense thing. I'm sure Ichigo gets quite the power up from his mask even in shikai form but the question remains on why should he use his mask without bankai when he...

I think it's a good possibility of Nell being a Vastro Lorde and a reason on why she isn't wiping the floor with everything is that she is a child and doesn't know how to use her powers fully yet.

Well I'm hoping the rest of the fights with the ex-espada will be short like Ichigo's fight was. I rather not have this arc remain too long in the minor fights if it can be avoided.

Considering Grimmjow was kicked out of the espada I don't think it is based solely on power level. Did you think a one arm Grimmjow is weaker than Yammi? I think it depends on their behavior as well...

I'm thinking that as well. Neru could possibly not know how to use all of her powers yet as she is a child.

I wouldn't think so. If he is able to wound this guy in bankai without even breaking a sweat then he shouldn't need his mask unless he screws up in the fight.

I agree, it seems like Ichigo and Inoue are in a class all on their own but I'd also possibly include Chad in this as well. Of course we don't really know if Chad's powers will amount to anything of...

I agree if he was the old number 3 and wasn't demoted caus a new more powerful arrancar took his place then it really does give us a clue on how Ichigo will compare to the espada.

I think next...

I think it can also be decided by other things as well. Like if the arrancar behaves like an idiot all the time, is really incompetant, or pisses Aizen, Gin, and Tousen off enough.

I agree, Ichigo has a freakishly strong reiatsu and I think the type of hollow he would turn into would be a vasto lorde level hollow.

I think if Aizen has any vasto lorde under his command, it...

Ichigo in just his bankai release is fast enough to challenge Grimmjow unreleased but he didn't have the strength to do any major damage so he would've ended up losing. But with his mask, Ichigo was...

If Aizen's attempts at mind fuckery fail he can always have Ichigo and the rest of her friends captured and use them to get her to do what he wants. But right now, Aizen is just toying around with...

I'm sure she wouldn't be able to do that as I'm sure the strength of the target is a factor as to how well the attack does.

Well, I don't think Aizen captured Orihime for that purpose but I do think he will be even more interested in Ichigo for the purpose of when he hybridizes himself, Tousen, and Gin with the hougyoku.

That's up in the air from what I've seen so far. It differs from translation to translation from the various translations and scanslations i've read.

I think it's safe to say that he's aware that Orihime is having thoughts of destroying the hougyoku. It's either what Aizen wants or he has something planned to convince her to go along with his...
