Bleach - Part 1

[Jick]

I believe more in an Aizen team-up than in a struggle against him.

 

[Liam_H]

God Damn you Kubo...

Spoiler

You have the Commander go out like that. Did Bach use the sealed Bankai or was that just all his own power? For him to be taken out so easily is hard for me to believe. He has to be dead, although this wouldn't be the first time someone was cut in half but still lived

Like that the Zero Squad was mentioned, and Bach at least shows some concern for them.

 

[craigdbfan]

Damn that was ridiculously brutal.

Spoiler

Major props to Kubo if he actually sticks to his guns. CC it was good knowing you, can't believe you were Darth Mauled.

Soul Society is fudged and so are most of the Captains it seems. Now the question is who the heck just created that explosion? Money on it being Aizen. I don't think he'd be entirely happy that a human ended taking the CC life despite all the beef he had against him. That's just not kosher in Aizen's mind I'm sure.

Saying things are getting exciting is a major understatement. Damn was that intense.

R.I.P Yamamoto

Spoiler

I think it's Aizen also. Once the CC died the "prison" that was holding him probably gave way.

But how would CC be any match for him. Aizen already stated Yamamoto was stronger and Juha Bach just cut him down like nothing.

Spoiler

Aizen will use his secret attack "Kubo Troll" (I kid, I kid, maybe).

That's one character Kubo seems to really dig and I have a hard time seeing him killing him off for good. It's possible that Aizen had plans against Juha Bach if this ever happened. I mean he was approached by him so it's quite possible that Aizen somehow added him into a fail safe plan if he lost against Ichigo (which he did).

Kubo is actually doing some pretty good work so lets see if he can convincingly have Aizen trump (not necessarily defeat) Juha Bach for the time being.

Another interesting thing to note is the fact that Ginjou Kuugo's entire inferiority complex he had with the Shinigami sort of became relevant when Juha Bach is telling CC in his final moments of how foolish and arrogant his discrimination against humans was in the very end seeing as he was defeated by one. It really sank the entire ironic nature of the whole thing.

Well...Aizen has yet to release his Bankai so I guess Kubo can use that. But I don't think Aizen even has a Zanpakuto anymore.

Such disrespect to the old man, not even being listed a one of his 5 war potentials.

Juha Bach basically spit and threw dirt all over the CC and Soul Society. This guy has a huge chip on his shoulders which is somewhat understandable to a degree seeing how the Shinigami handled the Quincy all those years ago.

Well...Aizen has yet to release his Bankai so I guess Kubo can use that. But I don't think Aizen even has a Zanpakuto anymore. You know what would be interesting if Aizen somehow converted some of the Royal Guards to join his cause before the Fake Karakura town incident thus them not ever showing up.

That would be an interesting twist I suppose. Gah so many possibilities!

 

[Lord]

Things are moving well, unfortunatelly i heard the latest volume was on of the less sold ones, wich is a shame as this arc has been awesome, Aizen's a walking kubo troll, so his bankai must be the ultimate kubo troll, but i hope he doesn't replace Juha Bach as final villain, i like to see a new villain taking the spotlight.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

i think the explosion has something to do with the painting in the beginning

 

[Jick]

Until you guys mentioned it, I totally forgot Quicies were humans.
Nice to see the Zero Squad being mentioned.

 

[Fans of Reilly]

oh Bleach I usually watch my anime sub but I am a 90s kid and Power Rangers fan and I decided to watch the dubbing

 

[Liam_H]

Well guess who's alive...

Spoiler

Come on Kubo stick to your guns. An entire chapter devoted to just the arrival of Ichigo.

 

[craigdbfan]

Well that was sort of underwhelming. I did really like the art though.

Spoiler

Byakuya can still end up dying though. He did say that he isn't going to last much longer. Eh, we'll see how this progresses but I was expecting something a lot better...

 

[Lord]

Maybe next week will be better, it'll probably be Ichigo trying to fight Juha but being completelly defeated, i'm much less excited for the next few chapters as i know they're just going to show less and less plot, with only explosions, just wish to see Aizen and the royal guard soon.

 

[Shikamaru]

edit

 

[Marvin]

So that's all it takes to achieve everything Aizen couldn't.

Look for drawn out back and fourth of upper hands only to have ichigo near defeated only to be pushed to stronger levels and a final attack. I do appreciate the dbz entrance though.

Why do I always hope Kubo to finally deliver on that Urahara character. Even when this is over I'll still be waiting for him to be explored.

 

[Jick]

I hate when Kubo does that. The art is great, but the content is minimal. Horrible.
If Kishi was doing Bleach, the last 2 or 3 chapters would've happened in just 1.

To tell the truth Aizen did all that almost alone, the difference was that he didn't kill, but he could have if he wanted.

Yeah, i hate that too, but because the last chapters have been so awesome i've had les reasons to complain, but while this chapters was sentimental i lost the hype i had after reading chapters 510 an 511. The pacing is king of what killed the anime as each episode had to adapt some 4 chapters and then had to go down to fillers.

 

[Liam_H]

Wait wait wait... so Ichigo [BLACKOUT]is part Shnigami, Hollow, and Quincy? Kubo is throwing everything at the wall now next we'll find out he's part Saiyan too. [/BLACKOUT]

[BLACKOUT]And please don't let Juha Bach be his actual father and that he meant it in some grand fatherly way. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[craigdbfan]

This is getting a little jumbled and that's putting it lightly...

Spoiler

Ichigo is apparently part Quincy as alluded to in the last chapter with him using blut vein or whatever (now confirmed by Bach) and now Juha calls him his son and not only that but Aizen's zanpakuto apparently is still mind fudging people and tried delaying Bach....?

 

[Liam_H]

And [BLACKOUT]Ichigo's Bankai just gets curb stomped by the underling[/BLACKOUT]. What?

 

[craigdbfan]

Spoiler

Yeah it's all very odd. I also don't like how his hollow abilities have been completely omitted. I get that he "mastered" his hollow abilities during the fullbring arc but I didn't think that meant that he completely erased them.

The entire Quincy thing seems a bit pulled out of nowhere then again it would explain why Isshin is so familiar with Ryuken. Ugh so now Isshin may just be turned into some noble caretaker of an already pregnant woman who eventually falls in love with her and has Karin and Yuzu.

I'm really hoping Bach said "son" in a sort of general older guy kind of way and not literally. That would be so damn lame.

 

[Liam_H]

[BLACKOUT]Im pretty sure JuhaBach meant "son" in a different way considering he's a thousand years old. But now it may turn on that Ichigo's mother was the sister of Ryukken and that Uryu and him are cousins. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[Jick]

lol
That'd be kind cool and weird. But, if [blackout]Juha is his father and he is a quincy, and his mother is also a quincy...[/blackout]

How does that leave the [blackout]Shinigami[/blackout] part?

 

[Liam_H]

That's why son doesn't mean he's the actual father. Isshin still is.
