Well, I like that his Bankai's a bit deeper than "my sword is supper hot and cuts everything." Kind of sucks for Hitsugaya, though.
Expand all images
>> No. 78051
>>78049
Like dragon boy z needs his bankai to be unkillable
>> No. 78055
Isn't Hitsugaya supposed to not be able to use his shikai anyway? After his bankai got sucked up, didn't he have a page where he basically went NO MY SWORD IS DEAD while holding it up?
>> No. 78078
>Kind of sucks for Hitsugaya
it never sucks enough for that shit head.
>> No. 78079
So basically its Hitsugaya vs Assassin's Creed Quincy with neither being able to use Hyorinmaru?
Also, it finally makes sense why Yama didn't use bankai against Aizen. Aizen would have just trolled him until he incinerated all the other captains with his mere presence.
>> No. 78085
So Yamamoto's Bankai is basically a fire element Ichigo, with a focus on power instead of speed? That's pretty cool, actually, but now I'm wondering: Byakuya had said that a Bankai is always large, but this doesn't seem to be 100% true with Yamamoto. Regardless, some Captains are seemingly familar with how it works. Is Byakuya kinda low ranked or new compared to other Captains in that he never saw Yama's Bankai?
>> No. 78086
>>78085
Maybe the answer is simply...Kubo isn't too great at keeping his continuity straight?
>> No. 78087
>>78085

Did you miss the part where his bankai is passively killing all of soul society?
>> No. 78096
>>78087

I had just menat that Yama's sword isn't necessarily large in size, even if it's effect is. Maybe that's how Byakuya defines big. Still, it's basically a fucking plasma katana, down to the whole "melt everything nearby thing" a real one might have.
>> No. 78098
>>78085
I'm pretty sure everyone knows what Yama's bankai does in a hyperbole kind of way.
>Duuuuude, did you hear when the old man released his Bankai like, a gillion years ago?
>Nah brah, what happened?
>Fuck man, I knew an old guy who told me his dick FUCKING MELTED because of it, and he wasn't even in Seireitei!
>Awww brah, his Bankai must be fucking MASSIVE
Which is why they all know the heat is coming from Yama, but not that his bankai is a compressed one.
>> No. 78102
>>78098
i hope this is foreshadowing to ichigo's absurd next version of his bankai which ... what... uses the light and darkside of the moon as an inspiration for his power? is it a yin yang thing? i don't understand but whatever he can rip apart reality and has armor made of silly fullbring cover and pure getsuuga tensho

>> No. 78213
Eh, even when something neat is happening the pacing is still completely garbage. There isn't a fight in existence which requires 7 pages of making faces and smack talk.
>> No. 78214
Kubo stop making this character cool, you're just going to off him.
>> No. 78216
I... thought this chapter was pretty awesome. I probably have terrible taste, but I'm really enjoying this fight, even if it being stretched out like crazy.

No, it's cool, I have great taste and I agree.

Yeah. I mean you know it's going to be lame in the end, but you know.
>> No. 78229
This chapter was indeed good.
>> No. 78230
>>78216

I think we all agree that this chapter, in isolation, was pretty sweet. We just all know that Kubo will disappoint us in the end, so we're doing our best not get excited about it.
>> No. 78231
If Kubo actually does refrain from Kuboing up, and actually lets old man Yama kill the shit out of the Quincies while Ichigo's locked up, to show that while he does have ridic main character powers, the Soul Society has existed for a long-ass fucking time without his help, and they can, in fact, survive without him

I will be more impressed with him than I've been with a mangaka in a while.
Not because it'd be breaking any new ground, after all, I'm pretty sure that's more or less exactly how Yu Yu Hakusho ended, but because it'd show that he's learning.

Although whether it'd be that he's learning how to write, or learning what parts of other good manga to rip off, I don't know.
>> No. 78235
>>78231
Thing is, no matter how cool that'd be, Ichigo is still the main character. This entire series is about his journey. Whatever the last big battle of this story arc is, he has to be the one to fight it. That's not to say he has to fight every battle; Bleach has a long history of secondary characters having some decent moments in the limelight, and I wouldn't mind Yamamoto winning here one bit. But if Stache-Face here really is the big bad, then killing him now kind of leaves us with nothing for the main character to do except tie up loose plot threads.
>> No. 78237
>>78231
It would be hilarious if, in the end, Bleach returned to being a YYH clone.
>> No. 78238
>>78235
Ichigo is the designated main-character, his journey is over, he has no interesting plot.
The only reason he shows up and beats the big boss is because hes the 'main character', the series could very well do without him at this point

it would be better if kubo tite used this period of no-one-gives-a-fuck-about-ichigo to give a proper ending to zombie powder

Shikai Ichigo defeated Kenpachi.
Just accept that Ichigo is from bizzaro land and the only way to actually stop this juggernaut of power levels is to say "KUROSAKI IIIIICHIGOOOO,YOU LIEK TO FIGHT" at which point he will begin a 10 chapter introspection on whether he does or not before one shotting you.

Honestly the shinigami deserve some retributuion for thier despotic tyranny, its not like any of the series protagonists cares about all the shit they do.

I mean will even Mayuri recieve some judgement for his actions? He deserves to be slaughtered like a dog for what he has done, most logically by Ishida, but instead the series has treated him like an amusing prankster.
Even if his peers don't care about all his nazi-experiment shit they should at least care about his teamkilling for shits and giggles, those shinigami weren't even his subordinates.

But in a hilarious turn of events Aizen can no longer distinguish himself from other people or fully remember who he was, and thus alters his own memories becoming effectively useless!

So...5 special war potentials?
Kenpachi(lol worfed by a regular sternritter)
Ichigo(Trapped in a jail, but maybe not? considering the last page of the recent chapter)
Aizen(Told the Quincy to skidaddle because he ain't done being the main villain yet, no way he's gonna be someone's underling)
Who else? Unohana(crazy strong supposedly) or Mayuri(the man to go to for Quincy killing most likely) are strong candidates for the 4th.
The fifth is probably something retarded like Hitsugaya if he suddenly REALIZED HIS FULL POTENTIAL ON DA SPOT.
Definetly not one of the Vizard captains, those fuckers are basically jokes despite the fact that they should be Ichigo tier themselves.

this is me now. i have officially decided to stop reading this, because i just don't care anymore. i guess it's finally time to take the ancient rukia/ichigo prints off of my wall.

People, stop reading this garbage. Even Sadomasochists at least know better ways to get their painful kicks than any idiot that tries to deceive themselves into waiting for Bleach to finally die. You aren't even setting yourself up for disappointment because you know he will kubo you.

It's time to move onto other bad series.
>> No. 78763
War potentials seems to be about people who don't seem to have known limits. I don't think Mayuri and Urahara are in because their powerlevel, outside magic and science, it rather limited. Unohana... probably has enough daten to be out of the list too. Hitsugaya could have been but he's currently fighting a sternritter and I think they would have said he's one of them by now (of course he's fighting a convenient mute enemy but still).
Ishida could be one. And maybe Orihime. Of course nothing prevents at least one of them to be a totally new character that would serve as a plot device to make the story go;
>> No. 78765
>>78763
We haven't really seen Urahara doing much of anything, but it's safe to assume you do not want to ignore this guy or he will bring you down.
Youruichi could be a special War Potential, she was fuckin fighting bare handed and still going toe to toe with big hitters.
Also, I wonder why Aizen did not accept the Quincy proposition.
>> No. 78790
>Also, I wonder why Aizen did not accept the Quincy proposition.

Why would he? Aizen's plan seemed to be about breaking the current order to build something new and better at any cost.
So far we don't know the Quicy's objective but if they just want to eradicate the shinigami I can see why Aizen would be against it.
Quincy wants destruction.
Aizen wants construction.

Actually, we do know why! It was stated earlier they couldn't steal something they didn't know the limits of, hence why the Quincies couldn't steal Captain Commander's bankai until he actually used it (as no one had seen it in use for ages). The most likely explanation, given kubo's writing style, is that Ichigo's bankai is "limitless."
>> No. 78859
>>78856
Basically it boils down to 'Ichigo is the main character' like every other time he gained a random power or beat someone who should have been much stronger than him.

Being the main character is normally a reason why you kick the most ass in shounen, but literally Ichigo's superpower is 'being the main character, thus no-limit/superior' isn't it?
Its started to feel a little...tacked-on? Ichigo is kind of boring and needless as the main character, and the only reason he has to be the one to save the day and beat the bosses is because he is the main character.
>> No. 78861
>>78859
This.
It was nice when Ichigo was just some punk-ass kid who was in way over his head and had to fight tooth and nail just to keep himself relevant to protect the people he cared about.
Now he's just some demigod who's only even in the picture because of his demigod status. He's just the only one who can win, thus the camera focuses on him, despite the fact that his story is long since over.
Argue what twists and kills and worfs are bad writing all you want; what makes Bleach really poorly written is the fact that the main character literally no longer has any relevance outside of being the main character.
Naruto still has rivals and enemies that have been around nearly as long as the series, still has dreams he has to accomplish. It may have some shitty twists and storytelling, but it at least still has a reason to exist.
Ichigo beat his rivals. He protected his loved ones. He got strong. He solved his mother's death and that was something he didn't even know was a mystery. There's no reason for him to still be around. But he is. And it's boring.
>> No. 78862
>>78859
Ichigo's problem isn't that he's the MC, but more that he's special in so many ways it's overkill. His nature his not only extraordinaire, he's a major plot point that will probably be the key of everything. He's more of a device at this point than a character. That's the problem. The story didn't have enough slice of life and interaction after the SS arc to make him develop in anything else than a super powerful weapon.

Maybe his mom isn't really the one we know. Remember that graveyard scene, with Ishin making a mistake about his wife's death time? Maybe it wasn't a mistake, and Ichigo's "mom" could have been a replacement. Maybe an artificial soul made by Urahara on Isiin's demand, because her first "death" was too suspicious and he needed to stay hidden for some reason.

I occasionally reflect on the last time the manga even acknowledged that Kon existed. I think it was way back when he hosted the announcement of the winners of the Best Fights poll. I don't think Aizen had even beaten any of the captains by that point.

Kon is more of a mascott, so he doesn't really have to be relevant in the manga. Kubo still draw him in the omake stuff, like thos interviews he did before this arc, with all the info and sketches. Kon was there. I think that's were he belongs now anyway.

What I like is that Ichigo never get to shine, ever. He has a few panel where he seems to be competent, then suddenly he is humiliated as a main character, either by being put in a cage, or by having his sword cut by a background character that dd nothing yet. People complained about Kenpachi being worfed but Ichigo is the biggest Klingon of the story. Which is weird considering his supposed MC status.

Sure Vegeta was also bad and deserved more punishment than being raped by freiza and forced to cry bitch tears infront of everyone, and the fact he's still going to hell after he dies, but just because one guy in a different series escapes true punishment doesn't make it cool that another one manages it

Plus Aizen is even more of a smug asshole and a teamkiller, and overpowered as fuck, the fact Ichigo starts goiing "maybe all he really wanted all along...was a friend" makes it worse, that is just a lame as hell justification for his douchebaggery

Well, at least the retcon sort of works.

Fo><><y's Bankai sucks so much.

I'm also having trouble seeing why its meant to be better than his first release, when he just has a flying gauntlet gripping a sword.

>> No. 79597
>>79596
in theory it's a pretty good bankai to deal with armies of big opponent, like say, a bunch of menos grande. Also if the bankai is really an exact copy that mimic his moves that means a single slash will go at tremendous speed for great destructive power. Losing against Aizen doesn't make him weak, nobody really shined in that battle aside from Ichigo.

I'd say the most significant edge case is in fact Mayuri, who had his blown up twice. And that's...hand-waved at best.

That said Ikkaku's original bankai wasn't really impressive to begin with, not sure a new form is really a nerf. The form change doesn't seem to alter the potential of the weapon as well. Kubo stated Renji's bankai looks different now, so at least a broken bankai isn't the end of your shinigami carreer. Maybe just a forced respec.

Only the extreme cases go to hell. Remember that thing with SS being divided in 80 areas and the 80 being a shithole where crime is rampant?
SS != heaven.

The only thing that bugs me there is that I thought fullbringer's power came from the attachment to a very special object that they use to activate their power. But souls theorically arrive in SS "naked". Probably just wearing some typical japanese clothes. Yet they kept their items, and even their modern clothes. It really looks forced as fuck, reminds me of YuYuHakusho near the end, all the old faces come back for a fake ending and Togashi saying fuck you to his readers.

Dude, Orihime's power as specifically described in canon, is to reject reality. She doesn't heal anything and/or repair anything, she literally uses her magic glowy bubble to decide that the thing that injured someone or broke something didn't actually happen.

Kubo basically gave her the single most powerful (and interesting) ability in the entire series, then just as quickly completely forgot how it worked or just doesn't give a shit because she isn't Ichigo and therefore not allowed to actually do anything.

she doesn't reject reality that was the comment made by those who dont understand the ability such as aizen

she brings what is inside the shield back to where it was before it was broken and seems limited to people and there clothes and unable to heal what is related to their own reiatsu such as ichigos bankai clothes

And another reason why she probably cant heal zangetsu is that she tried to heal tsubaki after yammy broke him and she couldn't do it

Well, specifically, she couldn't heal Tsubaki that one time was because there was nothing left of him to heal.

The phrase that activates her powers is "I reject."
She literally pretends that it doesn't happen and her hairpins make it so.
This is stated in canon.
I'm not sure where there's room for debate, other than "there's a chance Aizen was wrong," just like how there's a chance that everything since Ichigo arrived from the hyperbolic time chamber has been part of Kyoka Suigetsu's illusions.
It's just really, really unlikely.
>> No. 80073
Basically Orihime can time-revert anything...except when she can't, for no good reason. Remember back in Hueco Mundo she couldn't properly heal wounds made by Ulquoirra thanks to his ~super dense reiasu~ but then when Ichigo needed her to heal up Grimmjow she suddenly could.

What I'm saying is, Kubo is a hack.

Be brutally honest with me, /jam/.

I stopped reading Bleach after Aizen got rejected by the Hyogokywhatthefuckisitcalled and sent to DOUBLE HELL, and pretended the manga ended there, because fuck that entire meta-arc of what you want to call it.

Is there any reason for me to jump back into reading it? I'm basically not that far behind, and it might be amusing in a Homestuck-y, "something to passively read after work" way. Then again, I don't want more of this 200+ chapter DBZ staredowns and one-hit KO horseshit, although I think I might be reading the wrong manga from the start.

Basically everyone who's reading Bleach is reading it because they have been for a long time and wanna see how it ends.
If you just want something ongoing to read for laughsies, I'd suggest Beelzebub. It's fucking fantastic, and is probably the only weekly ongoing manga I read because I really genuinely enjoy each chapter.

No, it's just off until the manga ends. They got tired of paying writers to do filler because of Kubo's non-existent pacing.
