Also, Yoruichi knew all about Kenpachi. Combine that with Ikkaku recognizing the name of Urahara, and it is very plausible that both were around when Kenpachi became a captain.

There were Arrancar running around before Aizen acquired the Orb of Distortion. They were the natural born ones, who were supposedly rendered obsolete after the Aizen started creating artificial ones. At least Chirucci Thunderwitch, Gantenbeinne, and Dordonii were natural born Arrancars. So...

Re: Espada and their Fraccion Going back to the "Fraccion possibly stronger than a Privaron Espada" hypothesis, it could actually be possible. Remember Ikkaku Madarame? The guy has a Bankai, and he is not even a Vice-Captain. While I certainly think that Renji was totally overestimating him by...

Re: Konoha's strategy about Akatsuki Drakend makes some good points. Kohoha's strategy for dealing with Akatsuki really does suck. The Nijuu Shotai was a really dumb plan. I mean, 20 four man teams to comb the Land of Fire for Akatsuki members and then either capture or kill them. The basic...

Re: Time Continuity Issue with Itachi From what we've seen from the battle with Pain, messing with Jiraya would have been a really stupid move, and both Itachi and Kisame knew it. Hard to use Sharingan to counter a Rasengan to the face while you're stuck inside the stomach of a freaking giant...

Re: Is the 8th espada too strong for his rank? Not quite. Ichigo has not been exposed to Kyoga Suigetsu's hypnosis. And remember when Ichigo tried to stop him? Yeah, he took Renji's last ditch attack just standing there, stopped a slash from Ichigo's Bankai with a single finger and cut him...

Zomari got beaten because of two things: 1. Byakua is absolutely the worst possible opponent for him. Byakua is expert on Shunpo, Sonido's equivalent. He has a fine tactical mind, and can keep his cool too. Good knowledge about kido helps, too. And his special attacks involve massive amount of...

Re: Bleach 299 Predictions Or he simply just got his game back on again. Remember the power flunctuation thing? The plot device-one? Ichigo's performance really does vary based on his mood and resolve, though no-one else's seem to do so. Ah well, he is the main character, after all.

Judging by your behaviour in the Predictions thread, you seem to be somewhat belligerent, friend. Do allow others to enjoy the weekly Bleach in any manner that pleases them and do likewise yourself. I did give a long and detailed post in the Predictions thread which included several points to...

I foresee Orihime getting loose from Tesla's grasp and using her power to restore Nell to her "former state", that being, of course, a über-hot, badass espada.

Re: Are SS captains weaker than espadas? Actually, Renji said that he might have lost/didn't know what would have happened if he had not got an opening from making all that ruckus with his limit lifting, not that he would have lost had he been fighting 100% right from the start. At least in...

Re: Vizard? Hollow + Hoygyuo = Completely new being, Hollow-side dominant (Arrancar) Shinigami <--> Inner Hollow awakened and subjugated = A Shinigami who can temporarily use Hollow powers, but remains a Shinigami as a default, ie. NOT a new being. Shinigami + Hoygyuo = ? That is why I vote...

Re: Who will replace Arroniro Arleri as the 9th espada? My personal theory is that he is going to use Ichigo as his very own guinea pig to see what kind of being you get when you use Hoygou with a Shinigami, and then give him the seat. Or just bring the Inner Hollow to surface, permantly, and...

Re: #1 Espada poll I really suspect that Noitora is number three. #1 and #2 are trickier. The obvious choice would be the battle-scarred old man with a crownlike mask-remnants, but that would be too obvious. Stark would also be a likely choice for a top dog due to his laziness. "Look at me, I...

There is a difference betweem "having" and "using". He has a Bankai, but he is not using it properly, and cannot reach its full potential. And the stuff with Byakua and Kariya in the latest episode was frankly filler content.
