shinigami

We all know that Kubo said that this arc will be large, and therefore it doesn't seem reasonable for it to end any time soon, despite how far Yhwach has gone by now. It seems the war is far, far from over, the real war with mixed alliances (Quincy/Shinigami) has only just started~ This...

I know we don't have mangastream translation yet but Bach's line about not feeling Ichibei's reiatsu was way too familiar to Aizen not feeling transcendent Ichigo's and brought me to this idea. My prediction is that the Soul King has no battle proves whatsoever because he made Ichibei out of...

In particular I'm wondering what SS did with hollows. Did they rely on Quincy since the Asauchi weren't around? Did they just destroy them? And how did the Soul King perform his duties, without the Shinigami's Asauchi to rely on? Since the shinigami acted as balancers and keep the worlds in...

Hello, helpers! I've searched throughout mangahelpers' forum and have not found an answer to any of questions. I have two really quick questions if you don't mind to help me with them. :) 1. Does Ichigo still have his hollow powers/mask? Here is my reasoning. Ever since he lost his hollow...

Okay, so I've set up this thread to discuss what might connect the dots between the Shinigami and Quincies, which have been stated on several occasions to be "polar opposites" to each other. This is something I've been dying to find out from Bleach, as we've seen the term isn't loosely used, as...

I guess this is really a pointless topic, since in shonen manga people get magically strong very conveniently for the plot, but anyway. Since quincies are humans (presumably except for Yhwach) one should expect that the Stern Ritters have a human life span. Moreover, since they were hiding from...

The strongest shinigami is the one who doesn't need his zan anymore. Ichigo reached this state briefly when he was in his 3rd form. Aizen had almost reached this state before Urahara's kidou sealed him completely. I also suspect that the strongest RG member without his zan is also a member of...

Recently it's been stated that Nimaiya invented the Asauchi, which is used by Shinigami to manifest their Zanpakutou. So the question is, how exactly did Nimiaya come up with its construction? I'll also explain my theory on how this relates to Hollow Zanpakutou! The first thing I'll look at...

As many of us are aware of I assume, the mini-arc TBTP wasn't counted as a real Arc back in the HM storyline, but a parallel mini arc to the show inorder to reveal some interesting History that was needed to make sense of the events at the time, thus the negative chapter numbers. Therefore when...

Hi everyone, I've set up this thread to discuss the origins and relationships between the 4 main races in Bleach; that is, Humans, Hollows, Shinigami and Quincies. Firstly, I have a theory that these 4 races are connected to each other, and I'll explore my theory for those connections...

I wanted to talk in this topic about "races"(humans, hollows, shinigami, quincy and others), differences between them, how they are connected to each other and how they affect each other. I wanted to say that it's weird how well humans, hollows, shinigami and quincy fit together, like they were...

Not sure if this has been mentione before (and is its probably obvious that he will master his Quincy powers) but I was just thinking about an interesting theme to Ichigo's development. His hollow abilities reached their height during his fight with Ulquiorra, a hollow. His shinigami powers...

After reading the latest chapter, it seemed to me like Isshin acted like a complete dumbass by trusting Urahara so quickly, given the events that lead up to that point. Let's look at what has happened so far in this flashback: - A strange Hollow appears in the Human World and Isshin goes...

Why Bach wants to recruit ichigo? – Because of Masaki, - Or because he is a hybrid/quincy. Note : Bach (somewhat) denied being an enemy to ichigo. He wanted to take ichigo with them but couldn’t succeed because he ran out of time. However he did take care to give ichigo some hints about...

Hi folks, I've started this thread to go into detail about the theory that I have about the variety of "species" that we've seen in Bleach. This is by no means completely accurate or supported by evidence. The Original Soul Lifecycle - Humans and Pluses The original soul life cycle...

I don't know about the others, but ever since we caught a glimpse of the Soul King, I've been very curious about what he is, and what purpose he serves. I'm sure others have noticed it too. If we compare Aizen's appearance after having fused with the Hogyoku, he started looking more and more...

Ichigo, in the spiritual themed universe of Bleach, seems to be collecting spiritual existences.. becoming a culmination of all the 'species' of Kubo's astral depiction. So I have to ask, what does Kubo ultimately have planned for Ichigo to become?
