So as of the new chapter, Isshin has taken Ichigo to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train, since apparently time is physical enough to be 'dense', and they'll be there for an hour, the equivalent of three months. That's leaving Gin and Aizen alone for about an hour, which should give them just about enough time to menace a mailbox in Bleach time.Meanwhile, Tatsuki and one half of Those Two Guys are reminding us that they exist, except everyone else in the world seems to be asleep at the same time.
>>49016Good thing I've read shounen before and know a thing or two about power suppression, also Ichigo's claim to fame was his ridiculous fluctuating spiritual presence. Why in the hell would Aizen think Ichigo would ditch the one thing that made him unique?This kind of looks like the old "villain goes full retard before he dies" that shounens like to pull.
What I'm seeing: Aizen losing his shit as everyone expected him to eventually.What I'd hoped for: Aizen to keep on being smug and just-as-planned, as if HIM getting power was never truly his master plan.What I'm hoping for now: Ichigo defeats Aizen, but before he does, he says 'Oh, and one more thing...who says I'm Ichigo?' And it turns out he lost his inner battle and now it's his powers in the driving seat, and now ICHIGO wants to become king, and the last arc is everyone trying to stop HIM.One can dream...
>>49021-His claim to fame was that he wasn't doing anything PRODUCTIVE with that spiritual pressure, just letting it leak out. -His bankai's already been doing something very similar, condensing his power and channeling it into enhanced speed.-Shounen series always have some guy who opts to forego magic abilities in favor of a straight-up physical boost- hell, a literal example's been tearing up the place in Naruto for several chapters.I really don't get why a few of you are treating the concept like it's some crazy bizarro theory.
I assumed he was just burning it up as soon as it regenerated basically.
Can someone refresh my memory as to what happened to Suavlips (Grimmjow)?
>>49075;~;
>>49076 Can we go a week without someone making nurse cry?
>>49082But it's so easy. It's also fun to make her rage.GRIMM JOW IS DEEEEEAAAAAD
>>49075Well, after Ichigo gave him massive damage, they're all "we're done here let's blow this joint" and he's all "NO COME BACK I WILL DESTROY YOU" and then suddenly....GIANT SCYTHE THING! And Nnoitra's all "TROLOLOLO".He could still be alive, to be honest. It's never confirmed that he bit the dust right there.
>>49087Even if he isn't dead he's bitch-status like Renji or Ishida are now.
>>49091Man, fuck Nnoitra.
>>49093So...Vegeta -> GrimmjowTien -> RenjiChiaotzu -> RukiaPiccolo -> IshidaKrillian -> ChadBulma -> OrihimeWe just need a few more people to align directly with Ichigo to complete the Z-squad.
>>49104Yajirobi -> Don KanonjiOr he more of a Hercule?Also>Yamcha -> ChadThere, that's more accurate and sad.
>>49105 I'd definatly say he's a Hercule/Satan, with that low powerlevel and sense of showmanship, and having lots of mundane fans.
>>48742Thanks for saving us from those creeps in the white masks! I'm just surprised my sword trap didn't work. Ah well, thanks again for your help Mr... Sorry I didn't get your name.
>>47265>>49116Why the frell does Scooby Doo gel so well with Bleach?
>>49122Because the ghost is here, it's our frightening task to face our fears, and the creep in the mask.
>>49105Nah, Chad isn't Yamcha. He still shows up and takes out one of the bad guys. Plus, he's the strongest human fighter (whereas everyone else is a shinigami/hollow/whatever.
>>49128So he's Krillin.
I'm not sure what people are confused about here... I mean Hitsugaya's bankai has been repeatedly stated to be immature/incomplete and he's had decades of practice, while Ichigo's just had like a week. It would make less sense if the Tensa Zangetsu we've seen for most of the series -was- complete, as opposed to still being in a semi-sealed state.Also, we've known that TZ's ability was reiatsu compression ever since Ichigo used it against Byakuya. It's okay if you forgot though, because I'm pretty sure Ichigo did as well. I'm not sure but I think that when becoming a full-fledged Vizard gave Ichigo shitloads more power, he confused 'compress reiatsu to boost speed and physical attributes' with 'spam Getsuga Tenshou'. Throughout the Hueco Mundo arc he was pretty much fighting like a tool, and it wasn't until Tensa Zangetsu smacked some sense into him that he got his head in the game. Thus his true power comes not from his absurd amount of energy, but the fact that that energy is disciplined. I'd say that he's become a singularity of reiatsu, it's so tightly controlled that none of it is released to form spiritual pressure. And since he probably defeated Shirosaki once and for all, he has way more power to draw on....Of course, having no 'aura' would also make him pretty stealthy, and make you wonder why he didn't/doesn't just stab Aizen through the head... but he's still a shounen protagonist after all.
>>49116 As glad as I am that someone finally made the Scooby joke I'm sad no one picked up the "Before the final blow was struck-Flung into the future" part.
Dat shaggy haired Ichigo...Unf.
>>49075He's so not dead, it's not even funny.>Noitora hits him once. Noitora then goes to deal the final blow! Ichigo blocks! And that right there was the last we ever saw him, I believe.
>>49135 Oh he isn't dead. Kubo just forgot he existed. He's basically this series's launch.
>>49135Ok, he's alive, explain what possible use he could have to the ongoing plot? He's topped out power wise, at least the shinigami have the excuse of "unused bankai techs/tech they haven't learned" to buff their power levels and Ichigo's friends have various power ups they can learn and unlock. Arranacar power levels are set in stone though.The only thing GJ can do is sacrifice himself, become a joke character/hanger-on for Ichigo, or best option yet, be completely forgotten.
>>49138 HahaIf Kubo really wanted to use him again he'd just pull something out his ass to power him up like everyone else does
>>49139Though honestly, does Ichigo need another rival that he completely outclasses in every way?
>>48973Ju-Ni decided to just explain it in simple terms rather than use an esoteric word.
So I guess the filler episode was to celebrate 10 years of Bleach.
>>49150I don't keep up with Bleach, why is their hair now longer?
>>49154He spent some time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
>>49154Because power makes your hair grow longer.
>>49158As does lacking a haircut for several months (a result of lacking both a barber and the desire to learn how to cut hair with a sword).
>>49157It took me forever to figure out that it's called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber because it EXAGGERATES the flow of time.
>>49150 ..Ugh, that just looks terrible, especially mullet Aizen.
>>49138>explain what possible use he could have to the ongoing plot? First, do you really think that's a metric Kubo pays much attention to?Second, my personal theory is still that we'll be seeing an arc where the antagonist is a fallen Ichigo. Like many other characters who've been struggling to stay in the limelight, Grimmjow would have a vested interest in getting him back to his old self.
>>49160Is that how it was meant? I thought it was a play on "Metabolic," like that it made your personal time go faster be making your metabolism hyperactive. Your idea works better.
>>49160Oh wow, you just blew my mind.
They had him stuffed!
>>49180Komamura!...Damn that Yama-ji statue looks hot.
I... But... No you're not tricking me into watching you Bleach, never again! I may not be able to quit the manga but I've been able to cold turkey the anime!
>>49204...Dammit, Hal, stop trying to get me into the anime again!
What the glowing fuck Aizen
Seriously what the shining, scintillating fuck
>>49213YES. NIGHTMARE FUEL. SIGN MY ASS UP.
>>49194It must be the long flowing hair.
>>49213 Giant enemy huh? Been there, done that.
>>49217EVIL OVERLORD RULE 34! Do not turn into a snake! It never helps!
>>49213He.....sorta looks like a 90's Spawn villain.
>>49215
