| Is this a typical "kill everyone" final arc? |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
Marow said: it's actually a typical 'the bad guys with more power actually beat the shit out of the good guys who are supposed to win every time' arc XDIs this a typical "kill everyone" final arc? anyways, the skeleton Rukia panel was saint level...Kubo should do a seinen after Bleach I wonder if he's dead...anyways, SS is gonna be raped and our manly hero is still trapped in plot prison. I really wanted to know who was behind that blade at the end of ch 500 tho...damn u Kubo QAQ |
 |
| Byakuya is dead!? |
 |
| This arc it seems like bad guys killing good guys and our MC when come to SS almost every one died. Sorry for bad english. |
 |
| What happened to cliffhanger? Seriously don't do it if you're not going to continue with it. Once again Ichigo is yelling and about to cry. Byakuya caught in Illusions and fear. Nice ending. imperlast said: -MgZ_ said: Am Im the only one who got surprised by that Rukia image? Damn. its in the spoiler I lol'd |

-MgZ_ said: Am Im the only one who got surprised by that Rukia image? Damn. I thought it was the most (unintentionally) hilarious thing this manga has ever produced. This being Bleach that's quite something. I really had to pull myself together to not laugh out loud since I'm at work. Also he is obviously not dead. Why would anyone even come to the conclusion that he actually died? |
| My first time reading Bleach manga in 3 months... still the same crap as always. I get that Kubo got a lot of criticism on the first part of the series on how none of the good guys died... but he didn't have to go and kill everyone on this arc. |
 |
| yeah, they seem to be able to use the zan spirits to a certain degree XD....nothing worse than receiving damage from your own sword and lmao, up till now I thought the long haired quincy was a girl :)) moe zombie Rukia pplz?  |

grandy_UiD said: Also he is obviously not dead. Why would anyone even come to the conclusion that he actually died? Because this is the last arc; where everyone is getting their ass kicked and having their shit (bankai) stolen from them? Hence, based on the way the plot is going right now, they might as well end up killing Ichigo in the end of the series. |

| (I'll pretend like I didn't see that "panel" on the Rukia page and enjoy her smiling.) So they didn't answer the question, what a let-down. I seriously wasted so much time this past week seeking out spoilers like a man-possessed. I'm not really looking forward to the next few chapters if they're going to get through all of the fights first. Might as well marathon them when they're a bit further. Also, Byakuya is not going to die, obviously. Even if he lost every part of his body other than his head, I'd still say he'd get healed somehow. However, if Kubo has the courage to kill him off, he will definitely gain some respect. Renji and Rukia can get a lot of character development from it and have some very emotional scenes. Not to mention, Ichigo/Renji would probably snap and go bloodlust mode in a future encounter with Quincy. |

Millionaire said: Seriously you don't think everyone will be killed now, do you? I mean ok 7000 Shinigami died but only 2 of them were vice-captains, one might live if they revived him somehow, besides I don't think Byakuya or any of the captains would die that easily. I think something is gonna happen and the quincy are gonna get their asses kicked (when was it any different?), or there's some kind of a plot twist coming.grandy_UiD said: Also he is obviously not dead.

Inarius said: anyways, the skeleton Rukia panel was saint level...Kubo should do a seinen after Bleach Yeah i would like him to do a Seinen. The ending of the chapter kind of got on my nerves i really didnt want to see Ichigo in DESPAIR AGAIN. I"m glad the captains are getting there asses beat. The Royal Guard is going to have to come in sooner or later. |
grandy_UiD said: Also he is obviously not dead. Why would anyone even come to the conclusion that he actually died? I hope Byakuya is dead. I really wish Kubo would do the right thing and bring the drama to this stale manga, because this is the first time I'm actually interested in Bleach. Granted, I care about Byakuya as much as I cared about Kira and Yamamoto's butler, i.e. a zilch. Byakuya is a one-dimensional character just like the other two, only defined by his honor and being cool and controlled, so all things considered dying in fear is the only character development he'll ever get. But it's intriguing seeing all those characters defined only by being "cool" and "badass" falling like flies, while Ichigo, the epitome of "cool" and "badass" in Bleach, can't do nothing but scream and get frustrated. And I hope that when he'll arrive to SS, what he'll see will be ruins and corpses all around him, all his friends dead or dying, and the Sternritter victorious and with a bounty of Bankai; while Ichigo will be weak, scared and desperate and he'll have to survive the Quincies hunting him, instead of going against all odds and pulling a "deus-ex-machina victory" like he always does. |
| wow... this is the first time in a long time that Byakuya showed any signs of "real" concern for Rukia... I don't mean like oh look she's in trouble, and byakuya rescues her... I mean as in fear for her safety... this is a first... Je suis Bya-kun fan soooo NOOOOOO DON'T YOU KILL OF BYAKUN TITE KUBO!!! THE NOBODY IN THE FIRST SQUAD OR KIRA OR ANYBODY THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT CAN GO DIE!!! |
 |
| finally bleach is getting good!! |
     |
| Wow, Rukia panel was ''dark''.I was surprised by it, but to be honest it was kinda hilarious too...xD Byaku lost...he lost with fear.Damn, there's no way other captains will win without Bankai.It looks so damn bad. And really Kubo? why didn't you show us who killed Kirge? ;_; my guess is still Hiyori though. |
 |
| I don`t believe Kubo has the guts to kill popular characters but if he gets a little brave, I can see Ichigo walking into a SS filled with corpses and the only survivors would be.. OTHER THAN AIZEN - Rukia/Renji - Toshiro/Rangiku/Hinamori - Kenpachi/Yachiru/Ikkaku/Yumechika - Kensei/Hisagi - Unohaha-San/Isane/Hanatarou(lol) - Ukitake/Shunsui and Nanao-Chan - Soifon/Omaeda(failure comedy relief are immortal) - Shinji/Rose - Mayuri/Nemu - Possibly a few other Vice-Captains and Seated officers. The Quincy will definitely retreat once Ichigo gets in on order from the beard. That`s when the post-war intense interaction will occur. Yama-ji`s death causes a huge instability and it`s taking everything Unohana-san, Shunsui and Ukitake have to order a retreat, locate all corpses and prevent the survivors and themselves from breaking down. Unohana and Isane will also treat as many as they can. Ichigo will definitely blame himself for it all and we`ll get some remorse from everyone. Captains remaining: - Unohana-San, Ukitake and Shuunsui (mentioned already) - Toshiro (lives for a role of Captain Commander he may need to play in the future, he has the most potential since he`s so young and has the strongest Ice instead of fire.) - Kenpachi (too awesome and no Bankai) - Soifon (can`t die with Yoruichi off-scren lol) - Mayuri (for the sake of the science department) - Shinji/Rose/Kensei (Vaizards are supposedly stronger than Captains so I see them holding their own.) The rest: I picked them solely on how close they are to Ichigo and the relationships they have/had with remaining/dead Cast. Every other Shinigami who was involved in the war is dead, including all fodder, Yamamoto, Byakuya, Komamura and Kira. This way Kubo can minimize hate and keep a story/purpose while killing off a "large amount of people", our beloved Byakuya and make Soul Society suffer an utter defeat. The survivors can also develop nicely. I don`t think he has the courage to go through with something like this though, let alone kill off more. |

| So F is for Fear....I guess Bambietta's letter stands for Erection. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Wow!!! That panel of zombie Rukia was really strong and showed that the Quincy wasn't playing around..... Is Byakuya dead??? Who knows??? But If is true than Kubo will be courageous because He is one of the most "important" captains in SS and in the manga.... PS: I was really mad that Kubo didn't show who killed Kirge... |

| how is it possible to win against someone but not being able to escape from a barrer-trap-like-thingy they created. i'm pissed at Ichigo for staying there too long ... Wow that made me LOL: Byakuya: You're not smart enough to lure that guy's abilities like i can Renji: He is right. And the guy in question begins to explaine it all by himself without an intervention from Byakuya's smartness :) SO LIKE BLEACH :D |
| so did everyone just forget about the dude that could be doing who know what to Urahara right now |
 |
| Should've expected this from Kubo. He never follows up on his cliffhangers until like 50 chapters later anyway. |

| He's dead now? |
| Sinnestro Corps Also that decomposed rukia face reminded me of bones xD |
| That was a good chapter, I liked to see Byakuya getting owned that badly, it's refreshing to see capitans loosing for once since they used to win all the time. But I'd like to see Ichigo loose and I mean LOOSE like for real (not like for example with Ulquiorra where he was getting beaten up and then his hollow instincts kicked in and puff! he won again ta daaa! God I just hate it when protagonist is always the victor :/) And something happened to Urahara too, I hope both he and Byakuya will somehow survive because they're one of my favourities, I'd rather see Ichigo dead :D and wow Rukia! lookin good! xD |
| That fucking Rukia image surprised me. Plus Byakuya lost it in the end and lost his level-head which surprised me as well. As much as I fucking want to see what happened @ the cliffhanger last chapter this was a pretty good chapter. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| So we are still left with last weeks cliffhanger? Fuck you Kubo! |
| I swear if Byakuya actually ends up losing to this Karasu ripoff I will nerd rage so freakin bad! AND WHERE'S GRIMMJOW?! |
| "No matter how much of a genius one is, in front of the Uchiha name, they're just ordinary people." - Sasuke Uchiha |
| I wanted to know who it was dammit. So annoying. |
| Okay Kubo is starting to piss me off, fucking trolling bastard I want to see if it's Grimmjow or not and what the hell is this guy Byakuya is fighting a Scarcrow ripoff. |
 |
-MgZ_ said: Am Im the only one who got surprised by that Rukia image? Damn. not at all. kinda pissed kubo jumped to SS rather than show who appeared. douche didnt expect to see nii-sama get his ass beat |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Still we couldn't see who appeared in front of Urahara... Byakuya was "defeated", still not concrete, though. |
| i cant believe this shit.Fuck. And what the heck's that "R.I.P" supposed to mean on the left corner?? oh for fuck's sake Kubo are you gonna make me cry? D: Nooooooo Byakuya ! my most favorite character of all time D: |
| Kubo didn't seriously kill off Kira AND Byakuya during the past few chapters... didn't he? Honestly speaking, while I can imagine Kira being dead, because he's not that much of an important character, but Byakuya? No way, he's not dead. The panel with Rukias face rotting away was kinda creepy though, but I'm impressed Kubo came up with something that made me think "Bleach, what the hell?" again. You know, after fairy-Aizen and Nazi-Quincy, that wasn't easy. |
| Lame fight. |
| 4 pages dedicated to prove that getsuga tenshou doesnt work.. Thanks for beingh thorough sir. Btw at the last page the ending text was saying "Farewell" not sure if that is to be considered as definitive proof that byakuya is dead. Just saying. I wouln't be surprised if he is just trolling us. No face-revealing this week. How amusing.......... Han-yuu said: Wasabi said: Should've expected this from Kubo.

| So Byakuya got owned big time. Renji is an idiot, nothing new about that. I prefer Rukia's old hair style more. Why is it even short anyway? |
