Not bad, considering what we've had in the past. I can't believe there's a new character... I am almost mildly interested in his and Ichigo's fight.

Also, Tatsuki, you better run, girl.

Ulquiorra, is that you?.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw him >.<


RENJIIII I miss him so much D: Bring him back, Kubo. Please. Pleasepleaseplease. After all, someone needs to job his ass off, and who does it better than him? :D

Also, RUN, TATSUKI.
Or stay, and show us what are your powers (Ichigo will probably save your ass anyway). We know Chad's and Orihime's...I don't believe that an action girl like her didn't develop powers as well.

engetsu , zangetsu , suigetsu ok im starting to think they are 1 big family like some noble and they were opressed? thats why aizen wants to be God and thats also why he knew ichigo they moment he was born



out of all "moon" zanpakutohs we seen, so far two had the abbility to use getsuga tenshou and both most likely are in perma-shikai form. Now we find out that their spirit names are similar.

And both wielders of engetsu and zangetsu belong to the same family.

Also, Ichigo is a firstborn and firstborns usually inherit the inheritance, family sword, etc.


The only "odd" one is Aizen, who goes against all these factors. Could he be some kind of "rogue" member of that family? Someone who specifically chose to ignore the main traits of his own blood?

Or maybe Aizen is the second born son or something, so he gets the family name, but a different power.



goddamnit this is exactly the kind of thing kubo would do. thanks for spoiling me guys.

Dude just watch Ichigo and Isshin pull a father son Getsuga Tenshou vs Aizen's super LAZAR. Actually before that watch Ichigo wail on Aizen until Aizen decides to destroy Karakura with bombage. Isshin will pointlessly step in and get himself killed. Just please no Aizen Jrs :(.

If Kubo's gonna copy the Cell Saga with the HBTC and the Aizen transforming thing, he may as well go all the way.

meh ichigo is excusable, but his father.. that is a proof of uncreaitivity..come on, if he is his father that doesnt mean they need to have the same attacks, or the same family zampaktou thing..


Of course just being related does not mean you have the same sword.


However IF kurosaki family IS/WAS a part of one of noble clans or even something more royal, it would make sense.


Disciples of famed martial arts schools usually inherit the same techniques of their teachers.

Warrior-centered families both in east and west alike would have the firstborn inherit the family heirloom - be it a weapon or a jewelry or an item.

Certain castes in african tribes go to very far lengths to separate themselves from commoners.

Secret societies, castes, gangs, clubs, organisations usually separate themselves from others by wearing same style of uniform, having an unique handshake, etc.

Royal families usually are recognised by their coat of arms, used to separate them from others.


Having a speciffic style of sword and sword techniques to separate yourself and your "bloodline" from commoners works perfectly.


smokes said:

if ichigos father doesnt have any other attacks, that means the Zangetsu is the lamest zampaktou from the series...


We know next to nothing about -getsu type of swords.

For all we know they can have thousands of different variations of one attack, or seeral attacks centered around similar things or several entirelly different attacks or be pretty much Full-str-warrior style weapons.


Isshin arc is coming up, I am sure(considering kubo confirmed that after this whole aizen stuff we will get Isshin/Ryuuken arc and then the whole hell society, royal realm, etc arcs.)


smokes said:

about the inventing thing ( i mean from the start, kubo should've had in mind to create more attacks.. when he created Zangetsu, and when poweruping, using new attacks not using the hollow mask

Ichigo WAS inventive with the use of GT as of lately. he tried surounding his sword with gt, he tried doing nuke attacks with it, hollow ichigo even used it as a whip.

The problemwith being ivnentive is that GT ichigo is using right now is VERY wild and unstable/explosive.




BakaKawaii said:
And apparently learning new techniques is hard for Ichi not only because he doesn't have time to train, but because his sword is cranky and doesn't want to "teach" him anything, but if his teaching of skills is anything like his teaching of "how to breathe" I'll be happy :)



No. Every sword (or ever -getsu) is like that.

Its just that most of shinigami spends hundreds of years doing jinzen and learning stuff from their sword(heck we saw most of real world shinigami do that during the first karakura invasion).


He does not need to "train" he needs to learn. All ichigo is, thats unrefined power(as shown by the nature of his gt, the whole ball gathering during kukaku stuff, inability to open the gates, inability to "hold the path", etc).

Reiatsu is not a problem. Its already implied that Ichigo can have as much, if not more reiatsu than Aizen has.


The problem is everything else.

Its like giving sharpest and best samurai blade to hungry weak farmer who never held any weapon in his life.

Ichigo's inner world is in mess.

The split personalities of his power/sword/soulare reluctant to work with him and he has yet to earn their full respect(see the eyes of Tensa when he is "unmasked" ? Thats some serious "you are trash" look directed at ichigo).

He has yet to learn the powers or special moves granted in his bankai form.

Even his general GT is unrefined and explosive, unlike focused, concentrated, sharp gt of Isshin.

Heck, even his reiatsu is fluctuating, leaking and changing constantly.

Ichigo needs to learn how to control and properly use on what he has/can have.

As he was before this training, the only thing holding his pwoers together was a duct tape.


You are a genius :O I'm totally speechless after all those theories, seriously (^w^)

Well if he has Aizen kill someone like Cell kills 16 at least I'll be amused (looks like the unlucky victim would be tatsuki). And also if Isshin's bankai has great speed like tensa zangetsu, maybe Isshin can use Instant Transmission! I wonder how far this can go? Wait, I forgot the point Ichigo and Isshin are currently in something similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as well thanks for reminding me 2Pack!

Honestly I'm watching Dragonball Kai, I don't need Bleach to remind me of Dragonball Z

Filler. Does not count. Kubo hates fillers and pretty much makes sure that every filler arc gets somehow discredited in the plot of manga.


Apart from the fact that when the last filler arc was annonced it was clearly stated that Kubo did do some of the chracter designs and wrote some of the plotline for the filler. So he can't hate it that much now can he.

THe only time kubo ever wrote an arc was Amagai one. The only time kubo actually wrote the storyboard for entire episode(s) was forest of menos arc.

Both of them fit into the manga.


Bount arc and Sword-Rebellion arcs however both have now been discredited

So Ichi going and showing his mask to G13 and none of them caring all that much is canon?
You should've just stopped at "filler does not count".

as past/in-between the arcs, it fits. None of events there were disproved in manga, like how very concept of bounts and the impossibility of "sword rebellion" was practically destroyed with new revelations in manga..

The amagai arc is no different from a movie. It still somewhat fits in "somewhere along the way" timeline and does not clash with anything major in manga. IT COULD have happened at any point of storyline as the concepts of that arc are not challenged by manga ideas.


Its not "canon" to the manga, but its not denied by the manga as part of some sort continuity/animecontinuity/alternateuniverse/etc.

umm... so this argument with fillers counting or not started with the whole "family inherit skills and stuff..." since rukia is adopted that didnt count as a real kuchiki but wasn't kouga married into the family ? so that would mean that he isn't a real family member either.... i asked earlier but i believe that we haven't seen any family fighting so far. well we saw kuchikis grandfarther fight with kouga a bit in filler but he didn't use his zanpaktou so we wount know if its the same/similar to byakuyas

I decided to check out Engetsu and Kyoka suigetsu. I realized that they have the nearly exact same Tsuba(guard). Then later on when Karin and Yuza become Shinigami their Zanpakuto will be Mangetsu and Kagetsu; or something like that.

So the total chaos within SS and the fact that Ichi revealed his mask to all of G13 isn't a major clash? Acquiring hollow powers is a major taboo, and he would've been sentenced, that's a pretty darn big clash, I'd say. The only reason the vizards were "allowed" to play in this war was because G13 needed the help, otherwise I'm pretty sure they'd try to take a chunk.
