I doubt love-san can be in zero division when he is tainted with hollow.

that makes him stronger,though... and since we saw 3 captains of the vizards group be captains again,why wouldn't love be reintegrate in them as well.by the way,I think everybody agrees with the fact that hacchi is the current captain of the kido,although we didn't see the previous leader (from the pendulum arc to aizen's defeat)

Ok, I gotta ask.... why is there no chapter until the 8th of February? Did something happen? It seems rather unusual specially after a break...

The arc just ended,so I assume Kubo needs to collect data for a new one.Or maybe,he just wanted to take a break or something else.

I love your signature, awesome

and you're probably right that he needs to collect data, and to catch his breath in order to make quality out of the coming chapters.
Which makes me wonder, 3 weeks break, it smells of both.. I don't think he need major research but probably details, and possibly a break.
Kubo has been accused for so many things over the years, but primary, it's his story telling, and this arc we're at the conclusion of right now was hated by many. So is Kubo quality checking his storyline for the future arc? It's a possibility...

Whatever happened at the captain meeting and Ichigo, it's something that won't be revealed until next arc it seems.
Did Ichigo acquire full shinigami status by the way he spoke in front of the captain commander? I think so, maybe not ranked, but something big happened there, and it seems like the captain commander accepted.. However, the ol' fart has already shown a few times that he doesn't give away candy without a price. If Ichigo wants full shinigami status, then possibly he wanted Ichigo to join them, more or less degree, maybe entirely in the squads and everything? Maybe in the human world?

Thing is, the captain commander don't give away for free, (mostly), even if he in reality owes Ichigo, so what will he want in return of Ichigo requesting full shinigami status?

[Revolation]

I dunno guys I'm pretty excited to go beyond hax for new villains. I want them to make Aizen seem like an ant. They are after all Death GODS.

I mean Aizen, Baraggan and Orihime are as broken as you can get in terms of powers and ability. So how much more broken ability Kubo will come with for new characters. I can imagine Kyoraku's bankai to be like "Simon Says" lmao.

Reminds me of a recent chapter of a fic that I've seen recently. had kyoraku and ukitake's bankai.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for Orihime to get a proper fight. When that happens, all will be right with the world. Even though after the fight she'll probably pass out or something

I really dunno her fighting abilities are minimal. Or at least say shes a healer more then a dps or tank (in MMO terms) Just dont expect her to get into big fights, unless we ever get to see a alternate universe Orihime, then hide cause shed be a demon sorceress haha.

Thing is the support is what it is support. Youll never see them shine beyond Ichigo. Since they are more or less his division. You wont see Matsumotto outshine Hitsugaya either.

As for their individual fights with their peers she did kinda let down most of the time, like in SS she had to be saved by Ishida. However in the HM arc we do see her strong personallity and her healing abilities are beyond that of most other healers, so in her class shes a different class.

What im looking forward too is actually Ichigo getting it on in another realm again, since weve been in the human world for to much of the story and basically its humans with powers or low tire Hollows that they fight. And if it gets interesting its always badguys luring Ichigo away from the human world or its training to go away
So the main action is actually always in the other realms. Therefore i believe we go to another realm next, perhaps we get a flashback of some funeral for Ginjo first with the surviving fullbringers watching from distance and then we go to the real action w/e that may be. Who knows the old guy got a request for Ichigo or something in SS or even in HM.
I wouldnt be surprised if the 2 hanging bodies that they found in HM will play a role and that Ichigo who has been in HM the furthest and most will be asked to look into it. Or even since hes close to *lets say* Nel and ask her for aid which SS expects but would never ask themselves.

Its just time for a new wind ^^

On the bright side, Ichigo is so got damned over powered right now that Orihime could use her God hax abilities to full potential without being hax in comparison

I mean, Ichigo's reatsu is so overwhelming that I doubt even she could hold it back despite her hax, so it's fair to unlock her abilities now unlike before, imho. It's a shounen story afterall.

In the HM arc, if she really did "fight" full out, she would probably surpass Ichigo. So if anything, now is the time to allow her to "grow" and show that determination she had in early HM arc. I doubt it was for "nothing", she's growing, faster and faster.

But we'll see in the next arc, if she even gets a major role like Rukia for example had in the HM arc. Hopefully both Rukia and Orihime plays a major role though.

[BASED Shinigami]

It was cool to see how every single captain in soul society instantly sensed Ichigo's reatsu as soon as he arrived, it just shows how much stronger he has become since the beginning of the manga

I wonder if his current power rivals the strength he had when he fought Aizen??? If so that makes Ichigo one bad mothasucker not to be messed with lol

[exacta]

anyway thats just some thoughts. i think kubo is really in a pickle at the moment in terms of plot. To me it feels like everything in bleach is resolved now. if the manga were just "over" it wouldn't bother me.

Would certainly bother me. Forget all the Bankais that would remain unseen, think of all the things that haven't been explained that NEED to be explained. The Soul King, the whole hogyoku affair between Aizen and Urahara, how the hogyoku is created, Isshin's past, we need to see the Royal Guard, the Yachiru that Kenpachi met, the mystery behind Ichigo's birth that makes Ichigo so special, why Aizen knew everthing about Ichigo since he was born, what the hell is up with Urahara and why is he so damn shady, and in general SS has a lot of history that I would like to see expanded on. Royal Guard has to appear too. Bleach is supposed to last another ten years, so I'm sure Kubo has some kind of idea of where this is going.

I don't really think ichigo's power is what it was when he finally defeated aizen. For one thing, ginjo who is nothing short of a measly human with some hollow in him could sense ichigo's reaitsu. When ichigo fougth aizen his reiatsu was so far beyond everyones perception that not a human there or aizen could feel it. This is important because aizen's reiatsu was also beyond everyone's perception unless he made it so that others could sense it. I take it that ichigo now is simply a strongest version of who he was at his shinigami best.

On another note, there is something that disturbed me about this chapter and I forgot to comment on.
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/bleach/v53/c479/10.html

Why in the hell is there a scarf around zangetsu? The guy lost the scarf for a chain when his fullbring added to his shinigami powers. Mistake? Was it hard to draw a chain around zangetsu? Too lazy to draw a sheath(he had one in the first chapters though)? I am mildly disappointed the scarf is no longer a part of the shikai though, it sucks that ichigo never used shikai as shirosaki did during one of their encounters. At the moment I can't even conceive what the next arc of bleach will look like.... Only thing that makes sense would be that the king is the enemy however there would be plenty of things wrong with that to begin with.

I also noticed that in the chapter soifon mentions ginjo stole shinigami powers. Whose power did ginjo steal? It would explain why he didn't have shinigami powers in the current timeline for the most part. Ichigo took rukia's shinigami powers but the only reason he became a shinigami afterwards was that he had his own powers from long before he ever met rukia. In this regard, ginjo could have been given shinigami powers in the same fashion as ichigo however without having his own shinigami powers he wouldn't have been able to maintain them in the long run. More so, this would imply a couple other things. first of all that if ginjo developed his fullbring after losing the shinigami powers he stole it is entirely possible he could have used said shinigaim power's shikai and his own fullbring would have been based on it. In this regard it is unlikely we actually know who gave ginjo his powers (10th division unknown captain anyone?). It would even go as far as explaining why ginjo knew bankai and used it from ichigo's power.

awesome avatar,man . anyway I agree with you,but I wonder whether the form he had when he defeated ulquiorra is stronger than the one he used versus aizen,it would be cool to see them again,perhaps combined.

[ca12nag3]

I don't really think ichigo's power is what it was when he finally defeated aizen. For one thing, ginjo who is nothing short of a measly human with some hollow in him could sense ichigo's reaitsu.

You forget that that form he used against Aizen is a dead end 1 shot. It eats up all your power when its done being used. So he will never ever go down that route again.
What i do expect is him to surpass the old guy in the end, as through regular training instead of what his dad teached him.

Btw what i think is that his dad tricked him, but thats theory. The theory is that his dad wanted him to lose his powers and get him out of the entire shinigami world. So in a sense the entire Aizen affair was a blessing for Isshin. And he eagerly tought him the way to find his final form.

I was not talking about final getsuga tensho. That is but one technique of the whole thing. From the moment he appeared before aizen right before the fight ichigo had the power I described, aizen was simply unable to feel it.

[bleach fan 101]

Its good to see that the visords have been re-instated into gotei 13, it makes me wonder about the other characters.

slightly off topic: the crossing pattern on ichigo is similar to yama-jii's (pattern on his beard), could this indicate that his powers are close to yama's?
