Where the hall have you been ? We knew that Halbel, Nel and Grimjow are alive for more than a year now.


Grimjow's fate was left ambiguous, but there was Unohana around at the time, so I don't think he's still alive. Halibel however was left for dead in fake Karakura, unless that injury made by Aizen wasn't lethal, in which case, knowing Kubo, it could actually be right.


I don't know how injured Halibel was but the one who healed her and brought her fraccion back to life was Inoue not Unohana. That's what the Bleach Unmasked Databook, the 3rd one I think it was.

Grimmjow was confirmed dead I believe. I think, anyways, correct me if I'm wrong I can't remember if Kubo said he was alive or not now mhmm...
Yami, he definitely died. The rest of the Espada were all pretty much dead so doubt we'll see them.


Well on topic to the chapter, one of the best I've seen in a quite awhile. The 1st squad Vice Captain actually died then, R.I.P lol...

Ivan and that other guy died as well...so they were Arrancars then, just Ivan I mean not the rest of course? Wonder why he denied it then to ichigo.
Well I'm not liking this new villain much, I just kind of dislike him.

Nel returned ;o So Hueco Mundo has been taken over by those guys, and they have Halibel captive as wel, there must be some reason for that, or may be she opposed them and they took her after seeing her strength? Wondering what will happen from here on now, may be a return to HM for little while ;o

I'm hoping for the return of Aizen sometime soon as well haha xD

Looking forward to the next chapter :)

I'm glad 107 people died. Whats funny is in 5 minutes more people died in Bleach than the whole war in Naruto. LMFAO.


That doesn't change the fact that 106 of these people were nameless, worthless characters without any personalities or story at all, and the 107th one died before he could have his own background story and character properly shown. So I'm going to side with Naruto here, which goes for quality over quantity (memorable deaths of good characters)

Wait what.. Bleach got funny again while doing the serious business.
This without a doubt was an awesome chapter.

I mean we finally ( how sad it is) got a prominent shinigami to die, Nel returned with superspeed XD and the ruthlessness has been shown of our new protagonist.

Btw nice idea of using Haribell like that seeing as we all know where here hollowhole is( I know its still not clear HOW exactly she is being used but still a great tease)
Enfin, though it makes me wonder if her fraccion is still alive.


On a second note, can someone show some proof our Sexta Espada is still alive... seems were really split about it.

I was angry at Kubo's lack of pacing and story telling for being the cause that the anime was ending but seeing Nel and Haribel as a slave made it better. Seems We'll be seeing Grimmjow again real soon.

Grimejaw or whatever its name was, the one KuTroll confirmed was dead in a interview, who was he again? [Sarcasm]
He might not be dead!

FUTURE INTERVIEW
Interviewer: "So why is Grimmjow back again, didn't you say he died?"
Kubo: "Why would you ever believe a word I say? I was just tolling the fans back then"
Interviewer: "Why would you do something so horrible?"
Kubo: "Trolling is basically like a disease, the only difference is that its so much worse and much more uncontrollable"

Look this is Bleach, not a mature manga where anything you perverts imagine is happening. Halibel is just captured, he didn't say create, he said get. If I remember correctly Halibel was in charge of Huecu Mundo now or a leader of some sort.

Well well well.

I really liked this chapter. Sure having BBEG's hack limbs off subordinates gets a little tiresome but when Kubo actually killed off 1st div.v.c. I was a little taken aback.

I think its too little too late to save Kubo/Bleach but it shows he's learning (I hope).

Also, I did grin when Nel made her return, and then Halibel was damn smexy too.

It Kubo setting the scene for a Bleach all-stars video game cash in?

For a guy who talks about peace all the time he's pretty damn violent. He talks like a mad man... I wonder if he's one of those crazy characters that defines peace as a world devoid of life.

Those disappearing stairs remind me a lot of the world between Hueco Mundo and the human world where Ichigo and Unohana traveled just before the fight against Aizen. I remember Ishida being really good at traveling there too...

But I'm not really sure about anything anymore... no longer sure what this guy is, what he wants, where he is, how he promotes people to his "guard"... is this really "the thing" that Urahara defended?

The word used in japanese for Soul King was not just for inanimate objects but for, literally monsters. This guy does qualify as quite a monster.

DOMINATOR60 said:
Alright guys, it's prediction time.

BACKGROUND: The first arc of bleach focused entirely on the human world, and how spirits, hollows, and humans exist there temporarily. The second ark, when Ichigo saves Rukia, we explore the world of Soul Society. The ark where Ichigo is trying to save Orihime takes place almost exclusively in Hueco Mundo. But there exists another "world" in Bleach: The world of The Soul King.

Bleach is about to end. This is the last arc. Would Tite Kubo really leave this subject untouched?

The first thing I thought of when Genryuusai's room was infiltrated by an unknown group all dressed in uniform was: OH SH** THE ROYAL GUARD?. Now, a guy who is clearly in charge of stuff is talking about restoring balance and peace of souls in all of these worlds? Soul Society has always been shown to be somewhat corrupt (especially in getting rid of the Visored and Urahara), so I wouldn't be surprised if The Soul King was evil-ish, too. IDK, it's a bit ambitious for a prediction, but it kinda fits so far.

SIDENOTE: The arrancar/Quincy guy could be both. Apparently this guy (i call him sideburns-kun) can somehow train and create arrancar so i wouldn't be surprised if one of his subordinates had both abilities.

TL;DR, Tite Kubo will prob bring up the Soul King in some way before the series end, in order to fix this plot hole. Thus, the declarers of war may be the Royal Guard operating under another name.

If this ends up being true, you guys heard it here first.

Face-Paint said:

Well, we learned that Gol D. Roger finds Arrancars dispensable... so that confirms that he was an arrancar... didn't that guy who just died tell Ichigo that he was not an arrancar?! what the hell =.=

(snipped all wan piss wankery for relevant points)

Arrancar is a race. Quincy is a teaching. He was an arrancar taught in quincy teachings, I guess. :)

VCH said:
I'm wondering if this death counts since the guy was only seen 1- 3 times in the entire series. Gotta feel bad for him being killed off like that.


It counts power wise since Sasakibe is implied to be stronger than captains and in case of Yamamoto's death would have succeeded him as captain commander.

Kira-vs-L said:

Q: The senior captains doesn't change their appearance much, so Kyouraku did not change either?
Kubo: Yes. Captains who holds the position for a very long period will not change a lot. Thats because they've undergo numerous pitched battles in the past. However, will witnesses the difference and new sides in the future battles. I guess Shunsui will go bankai. Also the haori that he wore contains some "history/background".

So Nels back, Hueco Mundo is taken over, and Halibel is captured (hopefully that slave concept is some imaginations going overboard T_T); chapter creates more build up tho honestly that guy aside from being a person who disregards all life seems to lack as a antagonist, Aizen was better :/

Awww yeah Nel is back! and for an added bonus Hallibel survived Azien's attack and apparently became the new queen of heuco mundo during the time skip.

And i'm glad the Vandereich didn't turn out to be an army of all quincy hollows hybrids. Although it is still kinda the same thing Aizen did when he went against SS.

Step 1 -Enslave the disorganized hollows after defeating their leader. check

step 2- give them power up's/ change their fighting methods to your own.(Azien: regular hollows to arrancar, new bad guy: Aizen's left over arrancar to Quincy-cars) check

step 3- make random attacks on karakura town and get ichigo involved in the war. check

The next step is getting your buffed up army effortlessly annihilated by the captains. Hopefully the true members of the Vanderiech put up a better fight then their arrancar slaves. :/

Hype power. Also, Ichigo is as strong as captains. Pre-jinzen training if his reiatsu was stable, only senior captains would have given him trouble. There was implication that he has more reiatsu than average captain too.

Sasakibe is as strong as captains, in case of Yama's death, he acts as temporary captain commander till new one is chosen. No one is saying that he was as strong as yama or as senior captains, but he is implied to be better than an average captain.

You know, I was really on the fence with this chapter for most of it. Sure, we've got Nel coming back which is great, but there's also pointless power hype and characters not being important as characters, just as fodder for the villains. Seriously, I know that people criticize Bleach for not killing good guys, but when the people who are killed are either nameless, faceless entities or a character who we know NOTHING about, it's not much better.

And than we get to the last few pages and...No. No no no. No no. No. It's not even that Harribel has gone through some MAJOR badass decay simply for power hype bullshit. It's that, if you aren't the type to read all the interviews and character books and other supplemental materials, like I am, than her being alive at all comes right the fuck out of left field. This isn't something that should have been told away from the main story. It's something that people kind of need to know so that it doesn't look like you're pulling plot twists out your ass and needs some explanation beyond "Go read (insert unrelated material) and he explains it." My only hope is that this get's explained for people who just found out about it now, but somehow I doubt that.

That would be so awesome if Grimjow and Ichigo fought together.

And I never actually found out if she died in Hueco Mundo so that answers that.
If anyone can tell me the last chapter Nel is in that would be great.
