another chapter of waiting ...

I wonder if we are ever told why ukitake knew about that badge in the first place and if anyone could have known that this will happen ( fulbring via badge i mean )

[Son-Derling]

they know chad...so why shouldn´t they know from him about the badge?

[Pigov]

Iam talking about why he got it from SS in the first place ...

edit : wow , 3 different people in 2 hours ... bleach realy isnt that popular anymore ...

[sarutobi_sensei]

Oh damn he won't awaken them on this chapter :|

But it's a start! He started remembering Rukia

And I'm thinking that the text the TL is talking about is probably the symbol on the badge.

Let's wait and see.

[DarkBankai]

Yes!!! ichigo./!!! remember!!!

Remember what it was like to not be a little bitch.!
Remember how awesome zangetsu is, remember how totally epic it must have felt to unleash getsuga tenshou!!!!

reclaim your zanpaktou ichigo, restore yourself, reclaim the power to protect and revel in it.
master your shinigmai, master your hollow, absorb new hollow, be all that you are supposed to be and never act like this little whiny bitch ever again.

Regain the eyes you had when facing aizen.
And then once you do that, find rukia and knock dem boots buddy! Knock dem bootz!.

[xXan]

Another epic faill chapter in a long line of others. I am really getting tired with doll house crep and running away from teddy pigs ... What is next bankai baby doll Ichigo? Got i am so tired of w8ting for Kubo to start putting something good in this manga ... If only we could have another SS arc again...
I really can't understant why Kubo puts material that can be on 1 page in 19 ...

Well good thing the latest episode in the anime with God Ichigo vs Aizen was so incredible...

[Punisher6]

Before we complain why not wait till the chapter is actually released. It Seems like Kubo was trying for a cliffhanger. I agree with sarutobi_Sensei. It looks as though the bankai symbol was coming from the x and skull on shinigami badge. Ichigo seems to be remembering the relationships with his friends and possibily from that remembering why he always wanted to protect them. If anyone has noticed he hasnt really been that close to anyone since he lost his powers. Chad himself said he couldnt bear to look at him in his pitiful state. so maybe his powers have a basis with his feelings for his friends. sounds a little stupid but possible considering the fight with grimmjow where inoue screamed for him to not fight or get injured. I agree that the ss arc was the best but i still like where this is headed just its taking a little longer than expected.
Why do people have to keep posting in this forum about the numbers of posts, we get it already it has less posts.

[THM Nindo]

I'm interested now.
As usual, the pace is extremely slow (although, I would say that awakening the power in one chapter is quite fast!!), but I'm ready to give Bleach a chance.

[union98]

I think people are just frustrated and it's not like we can go into work or wherever and vent about bleach and not look strange...at least here, we know we have other people that will either agree or disagree, but at the very least understand what we're talking about. We've been starting from the beginning for a while after being led along for so many chapters during the arrancar arc...and then having to FINALLY wait for the new arc to begin, and then once in the new arc, to have to wait for something to happen. It's not like the very first episodes where we have absolutely no clue as to what bleach is and what Ichigo is capable of...we've seen it...we've seen his ultimate form, so just forgive people if they're a little frustrated right now...the fact that they're posting pretty much means they're aren't going to stop reading it...

As for the spoilers, I'll have to wait for the issue to come out, otherwise I'll end up posting some frustrating comment as well. We haven't heard from Urahara and them in a while, so if/when Ichigo gets his power's back, then what? Who's the villain? Who will he fight? And where's his father? Did his father go through this? If so, then we know his powers will be Shinigami powers.

[sarutobi_sensei]

So the symbol doesn't change but appears? WOW nice

Gogo Ichigo pseudo-bankai mode!

I wonder if Zangetsu will come out of there. Hope so

[thejager]

anyone notice the little "heart" on his jacket that is seen in the pictures at the end of the spoiler? Was that there in the last chapter?

Doesnt Isshin always wear hearts on him all the time?

another link to his father perhaps having more to do with this than we though?


We still havent met the "rich" Fullbring person right?

Is it Isshin? If not, where is he? They have some major talking to do, and it is vague whether they have even spoken of what happen against Aizen, and Isshin is seemingly missing during all of this...maybe he is missing SO that Ichigo had to find these people and have no one else to turn to...if he is the RICH guy its a weird round about way to get him to figure it all out, but i woudlnt put it past Isshin

[Punisher6]

I understand what your saying union98, however i find it less appealing to post when there are so many negative comments let alone read them. But back to the chapter, i was wondering why his fullbring would take on the bankai symbol. Ichigos zanpakto had the same symbol on it. This leads me to wonder if his powers and his bankai are the epitome of all bankais. It obviously is the most powerful of all of them maybe except for the cc but we havnt seen his. Will his fullbring be similar to his bankai then? Or is this his shinigami powers being returned? Maybe he'll be able to shoot getsuga tenshous like a cero without a zanpakto.

I've been following bleach for too long to give up...its just the involuntary loyalty inside of me..besides that last panel on the spoiler image actually looked pretty cool...I agree with people saying its been slow and yea not too many people are interested in discussing but so what..It is what it is. People are complaining but still want to read for the same reason i still come back and read every week..somewhere deep down inside you know you need that bleach fix :P

[sarutobi_sensei]

I honestly don't understand why people want things to be rushed. Seriously, when it's slow, it's slow, when it's fast and rushed, it's fast and rushed, basically for most people, they constantly complain about the pace of the manga. If you want something better, then go make one manga yourselves.

Honestly, it's just plain frustrating to see people constantly complaining about the same thing every week.

Consider this the beginning of a new manga. Would it be boring? We've got like 10 chapters with 17 pages on this new arc. If we had 10 chapters with 40 or 50 pages, well yeah, this would be extremely slow pacing, but it's released on a weekly base, not a monthly one.

What I'm trying to say is: be patient. The arc just started, we just saw what they seemingly want to do. We don't know anything about them, their powers, their purposes, Ichigo's dad, who attacked Ishida, Karin's connection to Urahara, where's Yuruichi, what has happened in Soul Society etc.

There are still a ton of things to be explained and explaining things takes time.

Plus there is still the issue from the end of the SS arc when Ishida saw the badge and was intrigued by it. It was a clue for what's happening now.
