I think "son" isn't literal here. Isshin must be ichigo's real dad because ichigo pretty much inherited his zapakuto abilities from isshin(they both use getsuga). Bach's been around from a couple thousand years so it could be that he is progenitor of all the current quincies and ichigo's ancestor.

Also it seems that Aizen is somewhat acquainted with Bach. They might have both been keeping tabs on ichigo's growth process into becoming the super soul hybrid he is now.

Glad to know that Juha/Zangetsu similarity might as well not be random. Still, I always thought that Ishin and Ichigo kinda looked alike, unlike some other situations where the father and the son in anime are nothing similar. Guess I was wrong. Well, nvm, Ishin will give Ichigo a headbut and tell him you are my son, then Ichigo will say to Juha you're not my father, kill him and all's well.

I don't understand why you people are so negative about Ichigo development. Worst that can happen is Ichigo gaining Vollstandig in the form of FGT. What was great about FGT is the way Ichigo looked. He had black long hair like Zangetsu. Now those black hair come for few other people like Isshin, Kaien and Bach.

Aizen might be interested in Ichigo even more now and be willing to join his side in the battle against Bach and Zero Squad (Shinigami).

Ichigo going another level higher isn't as stupid as Naruto power up's. From a few chapters now everytime Naruto has to say something he sounds like an idiot.

The battle is over and now hopefully we will learn more about Ichigo and move on with the plot.

Once again with comparisons. I take it that is your idea of true critisicm..So if Naruto didn't exist in the first place then you would have nothing to back up your opinion(have you ever thought of it that way?).

I just hope that Blut Vene being constantly activated since the begining of the manga (and therefore Ichigo's offensive being deteriorated) won't be the way Ichigo actually manages to power up.

Best part of this chapter was the mention of "Aizen Sousuke". At this rate, he'll make my top 10 lol.

Everything else has been predicted by many for years. Let's see what Juha meant by "my son", he's not Ichigo's "blood" father, no way.

So... Ichigo's a quincy. Wow. Didn't see that one coming. I was expecting Ishida to be a big part of this arc, seeing as he WAS the only quincy out of all the main characters, but I guess I was wrong.
Ichigo certainly is one for the history books. How can one person be a Shinigami, a quincy and a visored (well I guess WAS a visored)?
Curious to see how this is going to play out...

No just that people complain about Ichigo power up's so I pointed that Naruto shares the same fate. It comes in similar form in Fairy Tail too (power of friendship). Power ups come in different shapes and forms. Ichigo power ups are not as out of proportion yet as let's say Naruto - but then they live in much different worlds. In a way you are right - comparison of the two is stupid.
If Naruto wasn't made then I would think of a way to compare Ichigo to Gohan or maybe Natsu.

I'm looking forward to learn more about Ichigo mom and father and what their past were before Ichigo was in plans. :D

Next part: I got the same feeling that it could have been Blut Vene that saved Ichigo from being cut in half when he had his first little battle with Aizen. I don't think Ichigo was affected by his Quincy power up till the imprisonment in Kirge's jail. Maybe the first time Ichigo got close to his Quincy side was when he used FGT. FGT being the equivalent of Vollstanding but that was probably purely Shinigami power.

Next few chapters should be interesting ^_^

Which is also wrong :S. What matters is not the out of proportion stuff, but how everything is delivered to the reader. E.g.: Ichigo spent some time in a jail->powerup.
Explanation? Reiatsu memory. It seems to me that the whole battle system bends itself so that even Ichigo's breathing powers him up. I'm not hating, for I have accepted such truth long ago. I'm just trying to show you that you should critisise a story without banking on other examples (unless the other examples have an incredible number of similarities in the setting/story, in which case ,Gohan/Natsu/Naruto all fail to compare with Ichigo and each other in general).

So disappointing. Kubo just can't break out of the same damned stereotypes that he's been using the entire time (see: every fucking fight in the manga), and now he pulls a Darth Vader? Not an original bone in his body. The manga was actually interesting again for a short while, but ever since the end of the Yamamoto fight it's gone down the drain once again. He's so scared to break out of his stereotypes, and you guys just keep lapping it up.

I wasn't really expecting it, I thought Ichigo's mother was the important one here, never thought he was another man's son or anything, so i'm ok with that, what I disliked was the fact that he is a quincy. It might be because I just love Ishida and the fact that he's the only quincy in the team, so Ichigo turning out to be a quincy too and the fact that his 'father' is the king of quincys or something like that makes me angry because Ishida is no longer special, and that just sucks ass, at least for me.

Orihime and Chad got the same hype in the arrancar and fullbring arc respectively but in the end neither of them got much screen time or character development. It seems like whenever one of ichigo's friends is about to play a bigger part in the manga ichigo steals their spot light and they are forgotten again.

+1 but I think not in this arc. Kirge the Jailor left a hint behind concerning Ishida's potential. As for Chad and Inoue,...forget them XD, and just accept that Inoue will sometimes pop up to heal people left and right.

2 possible predictions of mine:

1st - Juhabach is really ichigo's father and his mother is a shinigami. Reason why quincy were slaughtered, is because juhabach created a hybrid who is more powerful than both.

2nd - Juhabach is ichigo's grandfather because he is over 1000 years old and Isshin is his father due to fact that he must have protected masaki from juhabach by using final getsuga. We know that juhabach is extremely old because he fought with yamamoto.

Observations from bleach:

Aizen says "born a human and a______" possible shinigami because quincy are actually humans with spiritual awareness.

Aizen glares at the sky "hiding him is a wise choice, its in their bloodline" the vanderiech were hidden for 1000 years. Possibly trying to say that isshin is hiding the truth again.

Ichigo was able to attain bankai which only a shinigami could achieve, but we now know that bankai can be stolen by a quincy.

Conclusion:

Isshin used final getsuga to defeat juhabach and protect ichigo and masaki or isshin is not actually his real father. Rather someone who protects the truth as he only appeared to block the truth from aizen. But what I would like to expect is juhabach being a grandfather rather than a father. It is still unclear of how isshin can use final getsuga and also have similar zanpakto name as ichigo's.

"My son.." .... what the fuck? If Ichigo turns out to be his son, I lost all hope for Bleach.




I also call bullshit that why does Ichigo gets everything? Firstly, he has Shinigami powers, secondly he has Hollow Transformation, thirdly, Fullbring, now Quincy? I call OP Hax.



But the good thing is, that they left quite a nice cliffhanger, I wonder what he meant of the last speech bubble, and who is Ichigo's mother, possibly a Quincy.

It was okay. As vague as the manga usually is. The manga goes 3x slower than the anime would. I read the manga wondering why the heck the anime ever ended in the first place. I love bleach but if this doesn't speed up it's going to get dropped. I can't sit around here twiddling my thumbs every week.

That was hinted at before:
1. Ichigo can recognize reiatsu and whom it belongs to and what type it is.
2. He can figure out person's character and feelings from a prolonged contact with it.

So prolonged exposure to quincy reiatsu would most likely trigger something in his subconscious that his conscious part of the brain forgot - like his mother's reiatsu signature or nature, for example.

Let's also not forget that fullbring basics are very reminiscent of quincy, so Ichigo is in unique state of instinctively already knowing something similar to quincy techniques (since we know that fullbring powers will have huge importance in this arc)

mangastream version is out and ye like i speculated Ichigo is a darn power "ABSORBER" just like any other quincy, what makes Ichigo unique is the fact he can absorb core powers like Shinigami and Hollow and Fullbring and etc and this is the reason why Ichigo is like a god that have every power on this darn manga and this explains why he has getsuga tenshou like Isshin, its just a matter of revealing the exact events now lol

Juha Bach resembles old man Zangetsu too and that is not a coincidence at all
and those bankai "ABSORBING" or stealing abilities of quincies may have thesame concept (if not literally thesame) to Ichigo's unique power ABSORBING ability too

Source of first FGT was Ichigo Shinigami side. Now with some training of his Quincy powers he will be able to use FGT form as his Vollstanding. FGT on demand and without the risk of loosing his powers afterwards would make Ichigo pretty strong.
Will Ichigo revert back to his Shikai or will his Bankai become the new stage 0 power?

You people have some crazy ideas about Ichigo being living Quincy medalion and having hyper absorbing powers. Would be even more crazy if Ichigo absorbed Hougyoku power to weaken Aizen and let him be sealed.

If Ichigo was SternRitter and his letter was A (absorption) what name would he have?

Hope next week can come faster and that Kubo will start moving plot forward and not just create more questions.

Thats the problem... he hypes up the characters but we never get to see them in action. In the fullbring arc we saw Chad go through a brutal training session in order to grow stronger and possibly gain a new level of power. In the end ichigo is the one who gets all the power ups and development while chad is out cold on the sidelines. The whole arc centered around the nature of fullbring and the one main character,who turned out to be a fullbringer from the start, had virtually no role in the plot. He also learns nothing about himself nor does he make better use of his power after he learns the nature of his abilities.

I really want ishida to play a bigger roll in the story but from how things have gone in the past he will most likely get overshadowed by ichigo. Especially if ichigo learns to use the same abilities as him...

So Jura Bach is Ichigo's maternal grandfather. Basically, he inherited his shinigami and quincy powers from his father and mother sides respectively ( Insert captain obvious remark ) ... that's some major bloodline.

Now here are my thoughts on this matter:
1. Rukia gave him her powers but he lost them when he was cut by Byakuya. He then later awakened his OWN powers
2. I think that Juha is Ichigo's maternal grandfather and during the war his father abandoned Soul Society to elope with her.
3. Could it be that Ishida's father (knowing Ichigo's father) is actually Ichigo's mother's brother? There by making Ishida Ichigo's cousin?

Yeah, he did train but he always trained alone. They set up his own room but everything else is off screen. All we can really assume is he got stronger, but we never really get to see that in the Fullbring arc since the whole mind-fuck screwed with him and Orihime's heads, but no we don't actually "see" Chad go through some brutal training. We just know that he did training off-screen.

Depends on what you think it means to train with Xcution, I mean they set him up a game training room but he did all his training alone. So in a way he did get help from Xcution for a suitable environment to get stronger, but everything else was all up to Chad.

Interesting chapter. I dont think he literally meant son. There's obviously some kind of familial connection there. My dads an asshole, and his brother looked after my and my brother at our lowest point, he calls the both of us 'son'. He's prolly saying that in such a cryptic way so that ichigo's curiosity will be peaked and he'll go to JB for information.

And for all the people crying about ichigo getting stronger - it's a fucking shounen battle manga. Did you expect him to get weaker? Stay the same level of strength? The point of the manga is to obviously fight stronger and stronger opponents. If he could beat them at his current level of strength, THAT would make him overpowered. Not the fact he's a chimera and keeps powering up. We were never explicitly told EXACTLY what ichigo is, things have just been implied by other character. (And ill say it again, just because a character says something does NOT NECESSARILY MAKE IT TRUE, even if they say it with 100% confidence) therefore, his origins are still up for explanation, allowing kubo to do whatever the fuck he wants with it until it's set in stone.

For all the people comparing to StarWars, i have one thing to say - wait and see what happens before you jump the gun. Its ONE chapter out of 514. ITs the START of the arc. He's setting all these things up for the chapters coming out over the NEXT TWO YEARS. Stop being so impatient, stop turning implications into for sures, and wait and see.
When you're reading a novel, do you get the shits after 2 pages because it doesnt suit what you think it should be? No. You read because the author has decided the story, even if you have to wait till the last page to find out what the big secret is.

Same with Inoue - Ginjou made sure to interrupt her when she was about to do some new technique (ala the second try after her reflecto-shield). Kubo seems to be saving up what they learned for the final war, imo.

It seems like whenever one of ichigo's friends is about to play a bigger part in the manga ichigo steals their spot light and they are forgotten again.


Ishida will play a big role.

Pretty much half the chapters of this arc were all about "awww Ishida did not use his full potential, hype hype hype hype".
Thats the problem... he hypes up the characters but we never get to see them in action. In the fullbring arc we saw Chad go through a brutal training session in order to grow stronger and possibly gain a new level of power. In the end ichigo is the one who gets all the power ups and development while chad is out cold on the sidelines. The whole arc centered around the nature of fullbring and the one main character,who turned out to be a fullbringer from the start, had virtually no role in the plot. He also learns nothing about himself nor does he make better use of his power after he learns the nature of his abilities.

I really want ishida to play a bigger roll in the story but from how things have gone in the past he will most likely get overshadowed by ichigo. Especially if ichigo learns to use the same abilities as him...


Chad never got hyped. We know he has additional forms that Kubo might be saving for possible three-way war Between RG, VR and Ichigo's side(for the same reason we did not learn captain bankais yet and RG is coming already)

Ishida was plain stated by Kirge to be way more powerful than him, implying that Ishida's family(and to extent Ichigo's if Ryuuken is Masaki's brother and Bach is his grandpa from mother's side) is special case in quincy powerlevels. So by idea, implication is that Ishida should be able to be as powerful as Ichigo.

Chad never got that level of hype.

Am i missing something here or Kubo forgot about his own story? Quincies are teachings. right? Tell me, teachings can be inherited? and please don't tell me, now there are different forms of quincies.

And what was that "We've reached the limit, let's return" thing.. At-least show us RG entering the SS and Qunicies retreating because of strategy and NOT this stupid handicap.

Looking on the bright side here: we now can have Karin becoming a badass. If Tite does that, the manga is saved.
