Rukia actually kind of creeped me out, probably because of the dead thing and all.

I actually really liked how they went into detail with the temperature, instead of just saying like "YOU'RE FROZEN" it was straight up, "At this degree... I'm dead, now I can cut you, but you won't bleed, now you're dead, etc."

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Well whatever... Let's put logic aside, this is manga after all.
But on the other hand in this chapter Rukia looked kinda cool (see what I did there :D)
And in the end where Nödt was frozen and was asking "This is fear?" was done nicely.

My thoughts exactly. For the whole chapter I was wondering (and still am) whether I had misunderstood the fact that Shinigami were already dead...


Dead in the real world, but alive in their world, can't forget that they can die too!

Who need bankai when you have power of Yamamoto's bankai? The only thing that differs that she use ice instead of fire.
Well... now I'm interested what her bankai can do.... "fear".

@chapter
Where is *10* options in voting, this need 10/5 :D
I really like this chapter. Starting from page with Rukia as "Snow white", here "death body" and freezing power.


Few things that interest me. What is "Reishi"? Is this "the smallest thing in the Bleachverse"?

How she can kill her body? If you kill yourself... and you are soul (shinigami) isn't it mean you "don't exist anymore"?

What she did is similar to what Uryu has done when he was fighting with Mayuri ( http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Ransōtengai ).
Uryu merely was controlling his body while his brain was still functioning (not death). Rukia, on other hands, froze whole body (?) and controlled it with speed high enough to kill (or at least heavily damage) Sternritter.

One thing I can thing of is "21 grams" that contain "soul" of creature. In this Bleachverse, I think it can be the "smallest" thing that contain all *informations* about creature. This way Rukia can stay "alive", controlling her body from some other place.

ps. why only 4 seconds?

pure awesomeness

i <3 you rukia

obviously this fight can be over though if it is im gonna be pissed.

cause like mask guy got how many chapters and as nodt is so much cooler but not as cool as rukia ;)

im guessing next chapter as nodt will try to use byakuya's bankai against her. then rukia will bust out with a bankai.

then as nodt will get his ass kicked some more then discard byakuya's bankai and use his vollstandig.

if thats what happens then ill b really happy cause ill get to see rukia fight for at least 3 more chapters

According to kubo all fear stem from the fear of death.
Rukia does not fear death because her body temparature is lowered? could you explain the connection?

also absolute zero means nothing is moving, rukia is moving so its not absolute zero.

Adrenaline relies on blood flow?

It was OK chapter but don't you think it's about time the quincies made their counterattack? When will we see fights against people that weren't training with the Zero Squad... And it's Rukias shikai that can go absolute zero, not bankai. Why make a shikai so powerful?

this is a shonen manga it doesn't need to make sense

also freezing a body actually slows/stops the death process but at a certain temperature they are basically considered dead because we dont have the technology to reverse cryogenic freezing.

so she isnt so much dead as her body is so cold that her body no longer works.

im guessing she is controlling her body with reishi like what uryu did when mayuri paralyzed him.

Seriously if you want to cry because this manga defy our world's physic you should have done so at the very first chapter.

Some people amaze me, they read a manga where supernatural powers and gods of death exist yet they want explanation that would actually make it possible in our world.

Ah Bleach. The manga where it's reader forget that Shinigami aren't in their dead human bodies and can get killed.

Actually dying as a human is no big deal in Bleach since if you think about it you will either live in rukkongai until you get resuscitated or have enough reiatsu to enter the Shinigami academy. Dying as a Shinigami means the real end of your life though. You do not lose your physical body but your actual soul when you die as a Shinigami and you will not be resuscitated.

If anything to die as a Shinigami is actually more frightening than dying as a human.

for example how the hell do souls bleed. if a soul were to die it wouldn't bleed to death if anything it would simply fade away.

It should make sense.
Well, it's fantasy so it doesn't have to be similar to our word. To put it simply - it doesn't have to be 100% copy of our word. There could be "faster" speed of light, breast can omit bullets (Highschool of a dead) etc.
In Bleachverse things make sense. Of course, there can be some things that doesn't make sense, but it's because it's mistake of author not because it's shonen.
ps. as fair I remember, shonen doesn't have to be fantasy, so above post apply.

also absolute zero means nothing is moving, rukia is moving so its not absolute zero.



You have a box. In the box you have a puppet. You move the box but the puppet stay "untouched". That's how Rukia moves her body, more or less.


According to kubo all fear stem from the fear of death.
Rukia does not fear death because her body temparature is lowered? could you explain the connection?

Maybe it's little exaggerated but lots of people fear dieing, or what is after death.
Take into account that anyone ( or 99%) of creatures doesn't know what is after they die.
So saying that "all creatures fear death" is not "big deal"



Rukia does not fear death because her body temparature is lowered? could you explain the connection?

Rukia does not fear death because she is "death". Her shinigami body is "death". She control it via Reiatsu.

Explanation was too long, the whole shit talk about fear is unneeded, how come that dude started talking, and never stop? Was he this talkative before? Honestly that was rather trying-too-hard to be cool.

"In fact, currently I am dead"
"I learned to momentarily kill my body"
-attack-
"-18 degrees"
"-50 degrees"
"-273.15 degrees"
"Absolute zero"
"I am going to be fast, at this temperature, I can only move for 4 seconds"

By the way, am I the only one, or is Rukia now better and stronger than Toshiya? -.-

...if you comprehend what fear is, if will experience it. Simply put, the enemy was wrong all along.

But I don't really think this is the end of this fight cuz no bankai has been released.

That was a boring ass fight, 16 pages of guys talking ending with a single slash, and after that we'll get a flashback where Kubo will explain to us that As Nodt wasn't as bad as we think it is, and that he has emotions and he acts this way because of his dark past or some bullshit like that.

Also, LOL at Kubo trying to make scientific explanations in a manga full of asspulls.

It is unlike Kubo to have the battle over so quickly (assuming he is actually dead) but if it is over it would make sense to exemplify the power of Rukia's new ability.

Those who say there's no point in searching for sense in shounen manga are right, but what the hell, when you pretend that something has scientific explanation (like Kubo did in this chapter) and then PROCEED to explain it, it has to make sense or else it's just BAD WRITING.

But we're used to that, Kubo, aren't we? The way you tell your story sucks so badly now that I read bleach simply to have a good laugh once in a week. You had such a promising story full of potential and you turned it into this, shame on you.

I think what he mean was how could she still move fast when all her cells and whatever slowed down in the low temperature. I mean, the reason why we keep raw foods in the refrigerator was to slow down the metabolism.

Or is sexsist Kubo going to troll her, and have As Nobt going to get up and Rukia is going to have to be saved by a man again?

We're not really comparing Hitsugaya with Rukia, but Hyourinmaru with Sode no Shirayuki. Hyourinmaru can control the weather, great. Sode no Shirayuki controls pretty much everything around it's user. I'd say Sode no Shirayuki is the stronger of the two, while Hitsugaya's ability as a prodigy will make him and Hyourinmaru stronger than Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki.
