| If Kenpachi dies, I'm dropping Bleach. Fuck Tite Kubo. |
 |
| he died? somehow i doubt it and he'll come back with some sort of form for his sword D: bout time kenpachi shows up. carrying one of those quincy fuckers with his blade through his guts. raep time now awwyeah |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
iWin101 said: Kenpachi solos. Still disappointed that Kubo didn't show what happened to Urahara though... he hasnt pulled the savior out of his ass yet |
| Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| from the way its going it looks like most of the known Shinigamis will die and then we might see the Zero Squad (Royal Guard) finally or maybe we might also see the Soul King (Spirit King) to fight the Quincies |
| Yay a liked character died… kenpachi next as it's two {of what seems to be the most powerful} on one? oh wait inoue can reverse time of the damage taken … or something… |

 |
| I thought Kenpachi killed only 1 Stern Ritter. But it seems that he is/was carrying 2. |

| Kenpachi don't have Bankai to begin with guys.. So there is no Bankai to steal :D |
| OMG, Renji got his ass kicked! I so didn't expect THAT to happen. But seriously, watching Byakuya get torn to pieces by his own Bankai was hard too watch. |

| YEZZ, ZARAKI FUCKING KENPACHI IS HERE. Byaku is really dead? i can't believe.It's one of most popular Bleach characters, if Kubo really killed him, he needs a applause.I really like Byaku, but it's an cruel war. KEN-CHAN SHOW DEM YOUR POWAR. |
 |
| its all just a play for attation cause people are going crazy over him Byakuya and killing off most the soul reapers. and its kubo so never count him out over anything |
|
| Death is not something epic, character do not have to be a savior or be surrounded by some loldrama before they die for it to hold importance. Kubo could have made it in a way so that Rukia get to Byakuya and they have a little nice last chat about how he really loved her, etc. before dying with a lot of drama and people would have come crying in this thread while it would have been ridiculously stupid. I'm actually impressed that Kenpachi could defeat a steinritter since if we take his spec from the last time we've seen him fight, he wouldn't have been able to even scratch one. That Kenpachi, which fought all his life, would coincidentally (and for no reason at all) be able to get at least twice as strong as he was before, I do not approve at all. People aren't Ichigo. Ichigo got a very unusual growth rate, for other shinigami to train with an Ichigo-like growth, I think it's weird. |
 |
| dont worry guys there will be World Reincarnation technique to revives all these dead characters later |
 |
| I better not see any more complains that nobody important dies in bleach?Now we have Kira and Byakuya and I'm sure there's more to come.Also there was always something I never understood about bleach.The Soul Society is the bleach universe version of heaven whee you go when you die right?so when the captains die wtf happens to them? |

renders said: I better not see any more complains that nobody important dies in bleach?Now we have Kira and Byakuya and I'm sure there's more to come Rangiku got half of her stomach ripped off and she survived. With the way things were presented, it's likely that Byakuya died but I do not beleive Kira died. We'll see the real outcome of the casuality after the Quincy leave SS. |
|
| Shit Byakuya died, I guess now I can see Kenpachi in action |
 |
renders said: I better not see any more complains that nobody important dies in bleach?Now we have Kira and Byakuya and I'm sure there's more to come.? You do realize that neither were actually confirmed dead? Unless we get an actually-dead-montage (like with whats-his-name's funeral) I don't believe that anyone died. In fact I bet Kubo himself doesn't even know whether he wants them dead, so he just leaves himself options to bring them back later saying "nu-uh, I never said they're dead". I mean this IS Kubo we're talking about here. Talking about characters not confirmed dead and coming back, I just remembered Gin. He is gonna be the one that showed up at Urahara's. Called it. |

Zhou said: Are you fucking kidding me, he is really dead?! Kenpachi is finally here, how long have we waited? Doesn't matter anyway because he is going to annihilate those fuckers. Yeah i still don't think his dead. Or if he is he probably won't stay dead. As about Kenpachi i actually got pissed off seeing him meeting the boss. That means he ain't gonna annihilate anyone anymore(well at least it seems he took two out). While he could go around killing the shit out of the other dudes other captains have a hard time fighting with, now that he was put against the boss he obviously won't be able to win since that guy is probably a monster of power at the level of the captain commander. What a seriously bad tactic. If you have someone like Kenpachi that can actually fight them you don't waste him by putting him against the strongest guy the enemy has and risking losing him. Well i guess he just went there by his own but still they should have ordered him not go there. |

I think it fit his personality well imo. |

sLy777 said: Because some dude some miles away saying that he MAY be dead is a confirmation? Seriously what's up with everyone just taking his death for granted? Have we been reading the same manga for years? A manga where people suffered the same or worse injuries and came away with it like it was nothing? As long as we don't see a close up of Byakuya's corpse he is NOT officially dead and I won't believe he is until we see that. And it's not because I'm in denial because I don't want him to die or anything. I really don't care about any character in this manga. It's just (and I'm repeating myself here) that this IS Bleach and it IS Kubo...you can't trust this guy (mainly because I sincerely think that he doesn't know himself whether he actually killed them off or not.) |

Thing is that shinigami that got wounded as much as that were gived first aid treatment by another shinigami and then healed by a healing squad member, if not they wouldn't have survived. Now it's war and pure chaos, there's no medic that'll get to Byakuya or Kira or anyone to heal them and save their life. Healing arts can do wonder but if they do not get some they'll die. |
|
| Oh wow, he is... |
 |
| Holy! I guess Kubo just got up one day(perhaps after the anime got canned) and said "Fuck Bleack, fuck characters, fuck the world!!!" and then started plotting all these shitty deaths. Kenpachi better kick some bloody ass and he better not say some shit like "I had fun fighting" and then get killed. |

Check this out, right after Rukia and Aaroniero defeated eachother: http://www.mangahere.com/manga/bleach/v30/c269/14.html http://www.mangahere.com/manga/bleach/v31/c270/8.html Both Ulquiorra and Szayel stated that Rukia died, immediately after the fight, which is the case here as well. |
| If Kubo actually kill off a good chunk of old characters during this battle,then it will reassure my feeling of this battle in the Soul Society is really just the prologue to the rest of this arc. He's killing off the old that got plenty of screen time & development to replacing them with the new & give old characters that didn't get enough screen time or development before more screen time &/or development now.If this is what Kubo's planning,then I'm perfectly content with that. Ha ha,planning & Kubo in the same sentence without a not,HA! |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
| Some people need to remember that this is the last arc. Byakuya is dead... I wanted Kubo to step his game up, but I feel so much despair right now... Kudos to you Kubo, Bleach still has it in it. Well done... I will definitely raise the rating... T.T So Renji and Rukia will finally get that development...? Great, but why am I so freaking sad when this is what I wanted the entire time... This is a war after all, it's to be expected... Kenpachi's entrance didn't even affect me the first time. Now I need to go re-read it with some more bamf music on, not this OST that's sucking my soul out right now... At the end of the day, Byakuya might have been a perfectionist, cold, a bland character, female-fan service lol, Monotone, but... he was still a caring and responsible brother, Captain, friend and even rival... R.I.P Kuchiki Byakuya, a formidable Shinigami. |
 |
| You see when you have 500 chapters of nobody dying, when someone is injured all you get to think is "Uh huh" Until they are confirmed 100% dead and they won't be resurrected at the end of bleach, they won't be considered dead. Only the final chapter of the series will determine if people actually die. |
| End Zionazism |
| The Soul Society is going to fall. Ichigo will eventually make it there, but it'll already have been taken over and he will lose. The Shinigami that survive will take refuge in Hueco Mundo to plot a counterattack to take back Earth... errr Soul Society. Sounds about right. |

Don't mean to kill the mood, no way am I downplaying my previous post and in no way am I trying to joke around with this tragedy before us but... Some of you need to see logic through Shirou's eyes. |

Kanic said: hewhodoesnotcare said: Sora_Namari said: Feels like I'm the only one here deeply concerned with Byakuya's death. I mean, NO! Are you fucking kidding me, Kubo? If you don't, go die. Byakuya is my fave Bleach's character. Now, when the plot's pretty lame, and gets me bored, Byakuya was the only thing that kept me reading this manga. If he's dead, that reason'll be gone, I can easily drop it. And yet... This is truly a shameful way to die. Shinjirarenai. Arienai. But it's Kubo we're talking about. In Bleach death in most cases isn't actually death when it comes to good guys. Damn Hinamori has died twice already and unfortunately hasn't yet made it to the other side. That's why I'm not gonna believe he's dead until he's 100% officially confirmed dead. And if he is, well... I do hope Ken-chan's kicking those bastard's asses next chap. ^_^ in most cases most of MAL user complain about no MC being kill then when one does get kill they complain abou how that MC was killed off. Make ur decision killl them off? or leave them alive.. I understand. I am one of those complainers. I do want MCs to die. I think the more they die, the more interesting and realistic the plots gets. However, there is a big difference between just main characters and favorite characters. I can make my decision easily if you ask. I don't wanna my favorite characters to die. Anyone but them are to die anytime for all I care. ^____^ And it seems to me, a lot of people don't like Byakuya. O.o |

Every character that was about to die had the chance to be healed by another shinigami or Inoue, they didn't survived on their own. With how the war is going, how the Quincy are there to literally exterminate the Shinigami, there's no one to play the role of support as of now. While Byakuya could be healed and survive, there's nobody to heal him. Things might change but if some people are to die, it's now or never. |

Unlike all those in denial, I think those are the ones who are secretly panicking. Renji and Rukia couldn't be fodder forever. This will make them grow/develop. Makes sense, since Renji was the only VC with a Bankai and a goal to surpass. Perhaps even foreshadowed/planned? Also, unlike previous arcs, this is the last one and it was a surprise attack/war, we're going to accept casualties, naturally. Another also, how else is Kubo going to make up for the impact of not revealing the cliffhanger 2 weeks ago? Though I'm still crying like a little girl saying "Byakuya" right now T.T -- However, on the other side of the coin. If Byakuya doesn't die, he's going to be shelved and disabled as a character for the rest of the series for the sake of Rukia/Renji's growth, which would make it even worse for fans. Keep him dead. T.T -- EDIT: Also, just went back to the Kenpachi scene. Just realised he's holding 2 Quincy lol, that BAMF is the saviour, in the battle and emotionally. |

| It's either Byakuya is REALLY dead or he is in a near death state to the point where he can't give off any signs of his presence anymore. As controversial as it may be I think that this could be one of the best characters to die holding a major impact like Shuda says on Renji and Rukia not to mention others like Ichigo. This will play a huge role in their development if he actually did die. But man Kepachi being a badass going straight for the boss and it seems like he got an even more epic eyepatch and even got rid of his bells. Aw man I can't wait to see this fight. I certainly hope we find out who exactly Urahara saw though soon. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |

Perhaps even foreshadowed/planned? Ikkaku forgotten...Q-Ball gets no attention ;_; As much as badass Kenpachi seems right now he will only serve as fodder for the Bearded Dude (or his subordinate) to establish his badassery. Kenpachi is in for the beating of his life and his 2nd defeat after ichigo. |

| WEll what do you know, Bleach continues to be at the top of the trio at being friggin amazing. I love Byakuya's beatdown, I love that we DID NOT have Renji do a shounen-powerup to defeat them and that Renji and rukia both got taken out in underhanded tactics. That is DAMN Refreshing as far as I am concerned. I guess now Kenpachi will get owned against the leader...or wait...leader won't fight him, the blond guy will own Kenpachi. grandy_UiD said: renders said: I better not see any more complains that nobody important dies in bleach?Now we have Kira and Byakuya and I'm sure there's more to come.?

In fact I bet Kubo himself doesn't even know whether he wants them dead, so he just leaves himself options to bring them back later saying "nu-uh, I never said they're dead". I mean this IS Kubo we're talking about here. Talking about characters not confirmed dead and coming back, I just remembered Gin. He is gonna be the one that showed up at Urahara's. Called it. All the times someone survived they had a HIGHLY skilled medical personel nearby OR they had Unohana OR they had Inoue. This time those things are unavailable. While Kira MIGHT somehow get saved, Byakuya most likely will get some last monologue or flashback and be gone. j0x said: from the way its going it looks like most of the known Shinigamis will die and then we might see the Zero Squad (Royal Guard) finally or maybe we might also see the Soul King (Spirit King) to fight the Quincies What is even more hilarious is that I am even more convinced that after Zero Squad appears, Ichigo will end up having to fight THEM as the final series of battles, when they decide that the current world stuff is too dangerous or something. MyAmy said: Shit Byakuya died, I guess now I can see Kenpachi in action Considering against whom he is going....not looking good for him. :) kevin_video said: Kenpachi is still wearing his eyepatch which means he's not even using half of his strength yet. I can see him fighting the main baddy without it. All I care about is that they don't have the fight off screen. That'd just be lame. No one noticed the blondie nearby? Most likely kenpachi will have to go through him first before even reaching the boss. At worst case scenario if Kubo decides to kill Kenpachi, I can see Barragan kind of scenario with dying kenpachi launching himself at VR leader. Gradation said: Bad writing as usual. What an anti-climatic death. Seriously, another ass pull from Kubo the shittiest storyteller in Jump. Next chapter, lots of talking and another boring chapter. The thread for latest narutoe chapters is that way, kind sir. |

It was Byakuya, the Byakuya I knew couldn't possibly.. It was Byakuya!!!!!" (looks at his friends, in a state of shock) Renji: (Despair, tears and Rage in his eyes, losing control while shaking, gripping his sword cursing himself for being so weak) Rukia: (Crying madly while Ichigo stares at her helplessly... beginning to blame himself for not making it in time) -- Not to mention, what Ishida Uryuu is going to think of all this. Could he be banished by the renmants? What role will he play now that there has been a major casualty? If Kubo plays his cards right, he can have some very powerful scenes. -- Also, Kenpachi isn't dying lol. It just wouldn't make sense. Gets owned, maybe? Maybe after he cuts down the sidekick and is offered recruitment by Gold Roger and refuses. I can't imagine an emotional scene over Kenpachi lol. Perhaps just Ikkaku/Yumechika saying this is what it means to be in the battle squad or something, but they've been shelved already, sadly. Ichigo would probably drop the same line too, "it was Kenpachi though!" |
