Heh, this is actually getting pretty good, had a somewhat rough start considering it was the end of the entire giga-arc from chapter 1, but man, now I'm hooked again! :)

So many things had happened in the last 2 chapter, but I can't say that it was interesting,
and now we will have to wait 10 or so chapters that they can steal back the bankais, and even if they don't have bankai they still have hado, hodo (the spell thing).

As I anticipated, SS can't even last 10 hours once all hell breaks loose without calling for our manly mc....who's freaking busy with the nazi angel.

How the f**k do they expect him to welp when he's busy himself....the gotei 13 don't have a prayer.

When Ichigo does finally manage to arrive, he'll find SS in ruins.

Renji: then how are we supposed to fight these bastards?
Kubo: well, you're not...you're just supposed to stfu and get raped.

As MATI9630 said, release the gawd damn Kraken so he may join the fight...on their side haha!

This is becoming the perfect setup for Urahara to show up and pull an explanation out of his ass without prior analysis on what's been going on cause he apparently happened to know.

Lmao.

Matsumuto is contacting them announcing "DO NOT USE YOUR BANKAI NO MATTER WHAT!"

and Kenpachi is like:




"N-no way...!"

That was all that could fit the chapter. Next one will be about Kenpachi unleashing his all reiatsu and charging to the nearest enemy with crazy look in his eyes and grin from ear to ear >:D

Kendo might not save him now >_> Him dying is possible. He might have a chance IF he has Bankai they cant steal or he got Visard mask too. If Visards went the same route as Ichigo with their hollows then they might be the main damage dealing party here seeing as Ichigo is immune to Bankai stealing.

Then again Ichigo immunity might be something he was born (made for) long ago or effect of Fullbring. I wonder if Ichigo still has some of Fullbring powers in him left to use as way to win with that guy in HM.

Some characters dying might bring development for others. It started with Gin and Matsumoto - She ended up with a hair cut.

Ichigo is Immune to bankai stealing and he is not just "having trouble".

We clearly see that Ichigo. Ichigo is trying to figure out a way to counter the whole absorbption thing Kirge has been going on ITs quite clear, IMO that he is testing Kirge.

Figuring shit out and only then acting upon it has been his approach to battle so far this arc, so no surprise there.

Let's also not forget that SS might know something about Ichigo that he does not know about himself. And that they might have no idea that Ichigo is engaged in battle with something straight out of warhammer 40k universe or evangelion.

Ofc Ichigo wont come right away...he won't save everyone.Don't forget hes fighting quincy too, and its not an easy fight.He cant get to SS in 1 second too.
I actually think we will see something big in next chapters...because everything seems hopeless.I wonder what it is.Dead? someones comeback? new character saves everyone? :F i don't have idea, but i just now something will happen.

Well, anyway it was good chapter.Im hella excited now, and did i say i hate waiting week for 1 chapter?._. f this.

.
THIS, ichigo most likely will appear near the end of the whole destruction, having figured out something about VR from his fight with Kirge and SS and him somehow forcing the VR to retreat for now, with SS being pretty much almost completely decimated. Cue Ichigo possibly deciding they need Aizen on this.

At least yamamoto will most likely have bitten the dust by then.

This should be Kenpachi's coming out party. He's never even come close to bankai and is retardedly strong. As for the other shinigami, they are all so f*cked until they discover a countermeasure.

Well put xDD

I get this sense that they are terrified of fighting, just because they can't use their bankai. Kind of pathetic if you ask me. :x

I'm also hoping for Orihime to just swoop in and heal everyone. I don't want Kira to be dead ;~;

Damn, the gotei 13 is in the pinch!


In the pinch? Oh in a pinch, noticed you liked this expression since you've used it before.

I don't know if I like how this is going. I like that people are actually getting injured and dying because it makes it more intense but this is definitely a different spin for Bleach. Maybe Kubo wasn't liking the bad ratings and decided that he should start killing off his characters and injuring them? Kira is supposedly dead and Kyoraku lost his eye and bankai. His bankai is one eyed really like to see (punny right?) I can personally see them sparing the soul society and then they challenge them again later or something (hopefully not another power up such with -kai at the end). Ichigo probably doesn't lose his bankai for a certain reason. Can't wait to find out why.

How the hell did Kyoraku get owned for that brief fight so far like that? One of the strongest taicho, defeated the 1st Espada w/o bankai, gets hurt like that against a Quincy?? I call BS. Renji with another outburst, seriously don't like that guy, too similar to Ichigo. Other than that another zzzzz chapter.

Any way, this is going as expected. I'm still pretty interested to see how they plan on handling the situation from here though. That, and what Kenpachi, Yama-Ji and Shinji (who's Shikai is freaking overpowered) are about to do.

So how come Kyoraku didn't have a hole behind his head when he was shot by that Quincy?


That's because injuries never matter in Bleach.

Kyoraku hasn't lost his bankai.

Exaggeration much? He didn't get owned. He just got hurt. Simple the guy attacked Kyoraku avoided it and tried to attack back but the other guy released his angel mode at that second and got even faster stronger and counterattacked Kyoraku that got surprised because he didn't calculate at him going angel mode and hitting him back so fast.

Is quite annoying that most people only think of how to arrange power levels in their heads every time a fight occurs instead of seeing what is happening in the actual fight.

Kyouraku lost his eye? O_O
Everyone is in danger... That means: Orihime has a big job to do ~
Of course there is someone who doesn't need a Bankai and it is Ken-chan. ~
What a nice picture of Ichigo, Ishida & Grimmy <- I miss this guy
Do not worry, be happy ~

None of this is nothing surprising, everyone saw this coming. Get to the good stuff, I'm waiting on the inevitable Aizen-Ichigo tag team.

Yeah, I think Shinji will play a major role since his shikai can be utilized in group fighting where he can decide who it affects.

Oh please stop with that Kenpachi fanboying.
These quincy that are invading SS right now are the beings that stand the closest to Ichigo's post dangai training powerlevel and I'll dare to say that each and every one of them is at least as strong as Yama in shikai (Yama being obviously much stronger with his bankai but in a situation where he cannot use it).

Kenpachi had problem to deal against Noitora's strength, he's a tank but the fucking 5th espada's hit were hard enough for him to understand that he should not be hit by them anymore and these Quincy are in a position to hit much harder than any Espada ever did, actually probably hit even harder than what Aizen used in his last transformation stage.

These Quincy demonstrated currently unrivaled speed feat (Stark was the fastest espada and even him couldn't speedblitz Kyouraku as much as that Quincy just did).
Quincy are also Kenpachi's nemesis. They excel in keeping a distance and nuking anything far from them, Kenpachi doesn't have the speed necessary to close the gap so he would just take hit until he die.

Yama can hold on, Shinji probably can because of the ability of his shikai but not because of his physical capabilities and Ichigo is the only one in a position to destroy the invaders with raw physical capabilities.
The question is how long can they hold on? Because as long as Ichigo isn't here they are doomed to get killed.
