| WOWOWOWOWWOWOWOW If i cut off my finger then it has a soul. Twisted logic GG |
| So Chad didn't get deported back to Mexico after all... |
 |
| KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
 |
| You got me there, Kubo.. |
| No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you. |
| It sort of explains some stuff like perhaps Quincy, Chad and Orihime powers sort of. Not bad it's actually a decent chapter. I'm just wonder whose gonna impale Ichigo. Until their sappy backstory and how they were exiled/outcasts from X place and because of it they were forced to come to karakura town. |

| This should be very interesting |
| I really hate how we're just supposed to accept these kinds of explanations without any sort of foreshadowing or ackowledgement by other charcters. How did Xcution fly under SS's radar? How did the Vizards do it too, for that matter? For all Kubo's talk of how special watch is kept over Karakura because of it's high spiritual activity, SS knows jack shit about what goes on down there! Were the science division just sitting around, scratching their asses? And so help me God, if someone says they we'ren't noticed because they manipulate souls not spirit particlles, I will flip out. Also, I think Kubo needs to stop with the half hearted cliffhangers; everyone knew it was Chad, there was no need to wait until the very end to reveal him XD Kubo could have saved some space and pumped up the chapter content. I didn't hate this chapter, but I didn't really enjoy it...2.5/5? |
| I though the "soul" means object's potential, that they can manipulate and realize in different rates. |

I completely agree, its hilarious how everything seems to just slip past SS these days, and this partially pisses me off, because I have no idea whether Kubo is just writing nonsense without referring to his previous allegations, or he's trying to imply that SS really sucks without Urahara. Nothing slipped past that guy, however my bet is placed on Kubo forgetting what he writes. This is why I've stopped overthinking bleach, because it just screws with my mind. Its interesting that they manipulate souls, however this better be the part where kubo starts explaining everything. |
| This Arc should just be the start of a completely new manga. If you completely disregard everything thats happened before, this seems like a fresh start to a whole new story |
 |
| ^hell yeah.. it would've been an awesome start to a new manga |
| Wait, wasn't that an orange juice. How did alcohol got in it? Is it a plot-hole or are this guys really evil and are trying to get Ichigo drunk and do nasty staff to him? Now excuse me but i have to go talk to my aftershave bottle, i felt it's soul it's kind of depressed. |

Both Uryu, Ishida and Chad have objects that are very precious to them and passed down from someone else. Chasd has his abuelo's medallion, Orihime has her brother's hairpins, Uryu has his grandpa's cross. All things with strong emotional value to the owner and a history. Two out of three are visibly involved in activating their powers. Chad was able to beat a holow with a simple telephone pole(which would not be possible in real world, unless the pole, itself a physical object, could somehow attain a spiritual value). Then yu have the whole Chad's lines of "spirit of my abuelo lives in this arm" and so on. Then you have people talking with swords ever since the start of the manga. Then you have a mod soul perfectly animating a thing created out of purely inanimate materials. Oh and then you have Urahara talking about Soul King being the "lynch pin" of the universe, which also connects to this. In pantheism everything is part of god. and thus everything is god and thus everything is with soul. And thus there is a god for each thing in existence, according to shintoism.

Were the science division just sitting around, scratching their asses? And so help me God, if someone says they we'ren't noticed because they manipulate souls not spirit particlles, I will flip out. Vaizards and Urahara both had most skilled kido experts by their sides. Not to mention we are talking about the universe where stuff like reiatsu-masking cloaks exist. Not to mention that SS did not particularly pursue them very actively, Now for Xcution....they have no reiatsu. AS long as they do not use their powers they would not differ to shinigami from the usual humans. Not to mention that XCUTION is in entirely different town from karakura. Their headquarters are in Naruki City. Rizzle said: Also, I think Kubo needs to stop with the half hearted cliffhangers; everyone knew it was Chad, there was no need to wait until the very end to reveal him XD Kubo could have saved some space and pumped up the chapter content. I doubt anyone had doubts that it was chad. Kubo made it obvious with the speech patterns Chad uses and so on. Now on what was a cliffhanger is: - Chad's new look. - Chad actually meeting Ichigo in Xcution HQ. Monad said: Wait, wasn't that an orange juice. How did alcohol got in it? Is it a plot-hole or are this guys really evil and are trying to get Ichigo drunk and do nasty staff to him? Ginjou offered alchohol to Ichigo, LOL'd that Ichigo does not drink and gave orange juice instead(which in itself is a pun) The "alchohol" he consumed is from his own drink. Monad said: Now excuse me but i have to go talk to my aftershave bottle, i felt it's soul it's kind of depressed. now what I got from this thread is that everyone seems to think that souls are conscious. Soul can't feel "depressed". Spirit can. Soul is just....energy. a foundation of the world and universe, person, thing. Even if inanimate things have consciousness, it works entirelly differently from living things. Quoting tsukihime game "to understand minerals your brain has to be wired in the same way minerals are". In a sense yes, it does have soul, just the same as about every other damn thing in your room, country, continent, entire world, universe, existence. |

Fai said: Ginjou offered alchohol to Ichigo, LOL'd that Ichigo does not drink and gave orange juice instead(which in itself is a pun) Ginjou didn't offer Ichigo alcohol. He offered him a drink and got himself alcohol. Apparently Ichigos face suggested to Ginjou that Ichigo expected alcohol as well. To that Ginjou said that he can't serve alcohol to a minor. |

| Wine was gay. |
| Heh, the only thing I've got from this episode is that I've no idea how old Ichigo is. I'm a bit confused by Japanese school system, but I thought he was from high-school? Certainly noone in my country would complain about high-schooler drinking - that's practically the norm here. Sure, you can't officially buy alcohol if you're under 18, but there's no law against drinking it when you acquired it already. |
| EWWWWWWW CHAD LOOKS ICKY. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| No more Bleach..no more I wish it would just end..It's nowhere near as good as the beginning. This is just too pathetic wtf is up with stealing a soul from alcohol...that's just plain bizarre, and lame. Overpowered bastards, that are weak as hell (wait and see) |
| A small request: If there is a post of mine that you dislike, or want to discuss with me, please do so on my profile's comment page. I know it defeats the purpose of forums, but, I usually don't revisit forum threads after a post (unless it's my own) due to extreme laziness, and confusion. I enjoy discussing/ flame warring with others XD. |
| Did not think it was possible for Kubo to top his previous deus ex machina(s), but dammit, he's done it again. Pitiful. Congratulations Bleach, you have successfully reduced me to tears. .--. |
 |
| Is it just me or did Bleach meet Fullmetal Alchemist. |
| Kubo is so awesome. So creative, phucking genius I tell you lol. |
 |
| The new power isn't GROUNDBREAKING MATERIAL OF DOOM, but it's still a nice power nonetheless. |
| Kudos to Kubo... ._. Guys quit alchohol, it's manslaugther. |

| I assume they're going to manipulate Ichigo's soul somehow to bring back his Shinigami powers. |
 |
| ...chad is back, let enjoyment of bleach resume? |
| cool explanation, cool power. possibly explains chad and orihime's powers if they are the same as these dudes. chad has a pendant his grandfather gave him and orihime has her hair clips? only complaint this chapter .. can kubo think of some original characters? why must there always be an angry annoying girl and a cool, mysterious guy? way too overused in bleach. |
 |
| I bet we'll either never hear from the Vizoreds again, or they'll be beaten in an instance. Then next arc, the same will happen to Xcutioners. |
| If the Fullbringers can manipulate souls I wonder if they could do anything to Shinigamis since they are in essence souls. But I doubt it because that would make the new guys way to powerfull... then again look at Aizen. |
 |
We got a bunch of soul suckers in the house. I suppose in the world of Bleach it's a believable enough ability. Though I do wonder how they got it, why are they so organized and what they stand to benefit from Ichigo. |
 |
Jesuvius said: Wth? Someone elaborate :P So they pull souls out of living things and just pretty much can do everything because of that? And Chad somehow got involved? yeah....here we go again |
 |
| I wonder if one day any of these item souls will go berserk or just start moving with a mind of its own. Cause there's a Japanese ghost in myth that come from very old items (or is just toys?), or something like that. Either that or ghosts...just appear to take the toys. |
 |
| Even though I watched the anime I was quite surprised Chad was there. |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| Wow, Riruka brought Sado. |
 |
| Volume 49 was pretty average, the pace dropped below the ground and I don’t think I ever felt that bored reading a Bleach volume. Not much happened and I don’t think I like where the story is headed. The concept that glasses and chairs have little souls of their own is one of the most ridiculous things I ever read. |
