Bleach 501 Discussion

[mattiaildivino]

those whose death wasn't explained were Gin and grimmjow,whose deaths weren't confirmed by kubo either. both of them would fit my expectations but I'd prefer gin

[Schabrak]

Aren't almost everyone's Zanpakuto the same when unreleased ?

That's the joke.

Why are you people even discussing it again!? It has nothing to do with the chapter. Mods, what are you doing? :P It wouldn't be so annoying, if I haven't seen the same people post the same content for the Xth time. And if you really feel like there's a need to, do it in the thread of that chapter, where it belongs to.

[mattiaildivino]

It's Aizen!

aizen is imprisoned in SS,he will appear again,but not now,and not against a garbage like kirge. he will maybe fight BB or the stern ritter's leader (the blonde guy).

[Raizen]

People sure are cranky!!

It's a forum. Furthermore, this.is.kubo. He is known for jumping from one event to another. Furthermore, the chapter does tease us a bit about the unknown entity.

Anyways, i hope kubo keeps this pace up or go.even faster. Bleach is getting good.again. I want to see the conclusion of the byakurai fight. I hope the captains put up a much better fight with kido, hakudo, shuunpo, etc

It does show us that the person isn't on friendly terms with Kisuke, that 99% of the whole cast in Bleach, so even if it teased the person, it didn't really add a new criteria to the question of who it is.

Hey, that would have been great. But why is Gin's death yet to be confirmed? Matsumoto's flashbacks in the succeeding chapter was of enough strength for an evidence.
Still, how great it would be if the ever-smiling prodigious captain was back (=

It could be Gin, since he did use that poison on Matsumoto that feigned her death so perhaps he did the same so that he wouldn't have to judged for his crimes. Though why would Gin have Urahara cut connections to ichigo since Gin did pretty much put his faith in Ichigo to finish off Aizen so you would think that perhaps he would keep urahara on the line as well as know what to do to help Ichigo break out. Though people seem fearful of Urahara dying, I think the real people in danger are Chad/Orihime Ichigo pretty much left them in urahara's if he were to die/fall then that would also mean that Chad/Orihime would most likely be axed as well.

[Mauricio Raphael]

This chapter was pretty good.

To be honest, I was hoping for something about the mysterious person who pointed a sword to Urahara but being the more likely situation, I expected that wouldn't be shown. And I'm glad for that because we got to see a continuing fight back in Soul Society.

As Nodt's fighting style is pretty interesting with it based on fear. Seeing Byakuya who is probably one of the most composed characters in this manga face him really was a surprise as it leads to him losing his composure and being heavily damaged.

Seeing proof that the stolen bankais could be used against the Shinigami surprised me a little bit.

As for what is next, I have seen someone mentioned that Byakuya could played along with As Nodt and done a Shunpo-based technique to escape to see what else he could do. However, since the war has been terrible for the Shinigami's side, it seems more likely that Byakuya gets too injured to continue fighting and Renij has to take over.

[Miyagi]

Since captains are unable to use bankai, I hope we'll see new kido spells to compensate for lack of firepower to some extent. Byakuya is one of the better captains in this regard but unfortunately we didn't get to see his kido capabilities in this fight. IIRC Hitsugaya was shown to be a talented kido user in anime episodes, it'll be his best bet if he can't use his zanpakuto at all. I suppose we'll see more drama next chapter, perhaps more captains falling. Even if they may not make a big impact in the big picture, I wonder if Nanao and Yachiru will finally fight.

[wooticus]

I hope this Byakuya fight won't lead to him losing his face... He fights an opponent based on fear, who has stolen his Bankai and can steal any other Bankai (btw i think the weakness of that device is that they can only steal one bankai at one time, so fighting them 2 on 1 may be the choice).

It came to my mind that there is one single guy in SS, whose fight against Asnodt would be utterly boring, one guy who has a little rivalry with Byakuya anyway. Would it be suited for him to be saved my Kenpachi? I really don't know if i like that thought. Surely the power of fear would be completely useless against Kenpachi.

[richi_one]

Surely the power of fear would be completely useless against Kenpachi.

and the ability to steal bankai too :-P Can't wait to see Zaraki fight.

the dude who already replied to you is right,furthermore gin's corpse wasn't buried as far as we know. he was sliced by aizen (as were harribel and hyori) but after ichigo's arrival he wasn't any longer shown. there are high possibilities that kubo didn't focus on his end to leave us a question mark.

That was the point of the joke, to make some people realize that speculation of just how the sword looks is ridiculous, they all look pretty much the same.

Also, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if kubo pulled something like it actually being Aizen, even though I think it more likely to be someone who would actually pose a threat to Kisuke, not someone like Grimmjow, who honestly doesn't imo. To me, that leaves, Gin, Aizen, and the Royal Guard, and out of those choices, it's really just Gin and the Royal Guard, due to Aizens imprisonment.

[haarisa]

Just a thought (and I might get flamed for this):

http://www.mangahere.com/manga/bleach/v45/c422/8.html

What if the sword is Yammi's? He seemed conscious there and talked to the dog. It would make sense for Urahara to get scared since he was down and that guy did hate the living hell out of Urahara for hurting him the first time around when he came with Ulurqioura. Grimmjow would ignore everyone but Ichigo. He has no quarrels with Urahara or anyone he considers weaker than himself. Just a thought.

[Hakuteiken]

Yeah, I pretty much can't believe how Haribel or her subordinates are still alive.
So, you point out an opening in the plot, making a comeback possible for Gin.

As for the mysterious swordsman, why do you think he's threatening Urahara at first hand? Why should Urahara look surprised if, say, someone like Grimmjow ( because he's one of people's favorites to be the man ) points his sword at him?
