Gasp, indeed.

Kubo, please explain why we had all those full bringer chapters when all ichigo needed was to get stabbed in the chest by Rukia?

Answer was given.

good one

"Tite Kubo just recently showed us that Kurosaki is actually spideman. O.o Didn't see that one coming.My money were on Hulk.

I have also heard that Kurosaki is a cat but after he died the 10th time I lost my believe to that."

LMAO

i lol'd hard when i first read this on club page. nice one Karhu


Thanks.Respect was taken. xP
I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls.

There still is so many surprises left considering ichigo's powers!
1. How will his bankai look like?
2. Will his hollow mask change?
3. How will Zangetsu and hichigo react about ichi's new powers?
4. Didn't ichigo loose his powers/zangetsu with the final getsuga? So maybe it even isn't zangetsu that will lend ichigo his powers o_O

Btw, it seemes as if some really badass stuff happening in SS, since rukia is fuku taichou ( kyaaa ! <3 ) and i love kubo for not making the characters have the same clothes and styles the whole manga, ' cause i LOVE rukias new look! Last but not least, rukias sword was still on her when she stabbed ichigo, so it must have been the sword ishin was holding some chapters ago... Perfect chapter, it actually gave me horror goose bumps when ichigo screamed, violently surprising me when i saw the new rukia, and explosive hope and joy that ichigo had his powers back! 5/5!!!

Well, what do you know...Seems like shit's just got real again.

So basically the chapter was awesome no matter how you look at it (IMO) tho I'm prolly kinda biased after half year of reading shitty chapters. :P

Oh and if there is anything notable this chapter it must be the facial expressions, really well done.

Cue Rukia's voice from badge saying " no way , ichigo would never do something like that!" cue ominous grin from ginjou.

Ok, I loved this chapter a lot. When Rukia showed up, my jaw dropped because I did not read the titles of the Chapter until the end like you are supposed too. I do not like Ichigo's new Zanpaktou because I think Zangetsu looked a lot better and I have a feeling that is NOT Zangetsu. AND TO ALL YOU PEOPLE SAYING THAT HOLLOW ICHIGO IS COMING BACK, I HIGHLY doubt that. Hollow Ichigo was destroyed along with Zangetsu. And since Ichigo is gaining Shinigami Powers the same way he did in Chapter1, NOT THE WAY IN THE HOLE WITH URAHARA, he will not have Hollow Powers.

Tite just reinstated my hope in bleach after like 300 chapters. Didn't think that was possible.
So in one chapter: Power ranger suit with the kitchen knife gone. Rukia back. Urahara back. His first shinigami look back. Badass sword back.

Now if only the story can come back to the level it was during the first volumes...

These hopes will probably dissipate during the next couple chapters but hey... Hope dies last

I really think that Rukia looks better now that she has cut her hair.

Did anyone else notice the weird glove thing she had going on and how her sleeves were two different lengths?

The sleeve thing reminds me of Byakuya's.

I think Rukia's new haircut is awesome, even though her previous one was her signature. I'm looking forward to the next chapter (for once).

I'm excited to see the shinigamis now after the time skip. I wonder what they look like now? I'll laugh if they all look completely different because it's been barely 2 years while their whole lives have been longer and they haven't changed.
(Looking forward to Toushiro. :D)

Gah, by the end of this chapter my head was spinning.
First I thought it was Isshin and Uruhara who stabbed Ichigo. Then when he could see shinigamis again, I though it was his sister who stabbed him, but then it turns out to be Rukia with a new hair style. Then BOOM! Ichigo has shinigami powers again.
Next chap: Fullbring vs Shinigami. Can't wait!! ^_^

And since Ichigo is gaining Shinigami Powers the same way he did in Chapter1, NOT THE WAY IN THE HOLE WITH URAHARA, he will not have Hollow Powers.


When Ichigo was stabbed by Rukia in chapter one he took most of her shinigami power (when she only meant to give him a little). Later on this power has been crushed and supressed by Byakuya.
We then learn that Ichigo has his own shinigami power deep inside him by Urahara which train Ichigo in order to awaken it.

Now until this part I hope that it is clear.
Now hollow Ichigo is and always was part of Ichigo's power and that even before he awakened it. He did not gain hollow power because he followed Urahara's training, he got hollow power because it was inside him all along, the same as Zangetsu.
If Zangetsu come back then his hollow power will come back as well but if in the other hand Zangetsu does not come back and Ichigo gain another zanpakuto power then he will not possess his hollow power.

There is only 3 choice at this point:
-It is Zangetsu
-It is another zanpakuto
-It is not a zanpakuto

The way it ressemble Zangetsu suggest that it is either Zangetsu or a similar Zanpakuto hence why I tough that it could be Engetsu or an heirloom from the Kurosaki family.

( By the way was it said that Kurosaki is really Isshin's name? It could be an alias that he took once he decided to mary a human or perhaps he took his wife's name when he maried. )

Anyway we do not know what Urahara inserted inside Ichigo because it looked like everything but a zan. It could be the materialisation of Zangetsu itself or another zanpakuto's soul, it could be a kido or simply something else.

So Light forfeit ownership of the Death Note and his memories willingly, so he wouldn't even know himself he's Kira and therefore couldn't possibly act suspic- oh wait, that was a different manga...

Hey, Rukia is back and looks...even more like a guy now :/ But she has those weird long glove thingys now that Byakuya wears. Those are cool and look cute on her.

It's Isshin and Urahara that had a way to give him back his shinigami powers, as expected. But why didn't they just tell him? One simple "hey Ichigo we will get your powers back just sit tight for a few more days" would've saved alot of trouble


It pains me on how many people fail to realize this. Oh well, Kubo has never been one for originality. That's why half of his manga is a rehash for the first half.

Do you think that Isshin is actually part of those Noble Family from Gotei 13??

First things first, Awesome Chapter !
Ichigo's powers are seriously back ! and wow, it was so simple, Rukia (new short hair...? (N) Thumbs down.)
she just came in and stabbed him through the heart almost exactly when he lost his full bring powers aha, funny, guess fullbring arc was a filler? Maybe not, there seems to be some new features to Ichigo's Shinigami getup.. well lets hope for the best now.
next chapter is gonna rock !
Looking forward to reading chapter 460 in 2 weeks?

I think that Rukia look much better now than pre-timeskip.
I'm not one that think that long hair fit every character.
She look much more mature and even tough she has short hair she still look pretty girly (much more than Karin actually), blame the outfit because in a dress I bet no one would confuse her for a boy

I haven't been excited about reading the next chapter of Bleach for the longest time! I honestly couldn't wait for this whole fullbring nonsense to be over with and now it looks like it's finally done! :DDD

I mean, Rukia's a Vice Captain and- and-

My view:

YESYESYESYESYES!!!!! Back to shinigami world!

2nd scnee: RUKIAA!!!! (I have never been so happy to see her!)

3rd scnee: OMG! She's holding a second blade! (is this some kind of a new kudou?!)

4th scene: OH... JUST LOOK AT HER!!! SHORT HAIR, GLOVES and on top of it - LIEUTENANT BADGE!!!!! Things sure have changed in the Seiretei and Gotei 13 while we were away!

5th scene: NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Why the CLEAVER again?! UGLYYYY!!!!!


About the stab - you remember all how she had to stab Ichigo in the very beginning of the story so that he would be able to fight the first ever Hollow he met, the one in front of his home and who was attacking his family? That's the reference to with the blade.
All in all - finally back to what I like for Bleach. I hope I am right about this.

Highlights of this chapter:

1) Rukia's back, and her new look is awesome. I really really love it. Oh, and she's now the vice-captain of squad 13!

2) The power ranger suit is gone. God, that thing was hideous.

3) Ichigo's got his powers back. His new outfit is pretty neat, but, damn, THAT SWORD! It looks really sick.

I think that his new form is actually just the shikai version of the form he had back when he fought Aizen (right before he used FGT). We had only seen his bankai back then.

And to everybody that's saying hollow ichigo is back - I highly doubt it. Fused hichigo and bankai zangetsu is probably back, but I want to see old man zangetsu in his new form (since, you know, hichigo elements should also appear).

It's a shonen battle manga....there isn't any deep meaning in this story. People need to seriously stop trying to make it sound in that way. It's like when an artist makes a song half the time there is no meaning besides he or she felt like saying it. Same can be said for this story especially since it's drawn for mostly kids and tons of panels are wasted on fight scenes.

I see the buildup up here and it was awesome to a degree. But it will still horrible. A year and a half time skip basically Ichigo trains again only to get fucked over twice. Shouldn't he be smarter then this? Yes he was desperate but I expect this kinda thing to happen before a timeskip starts not during. It's strange done a little differently I guess the intro is set.


My issues here are well, for him to get his original powers this was very long felt like it could have been done in ten chapters if Kubo put more dialogue and stopped wasting pages. Felt like I read one volume and this was what about three to four volumes? The build up wasn't worth the wait. We still don't even know what the hell is going on either. I wish Kubo spent this time to explain what the hell has been going on in this manga for ten years a hint maybe would be nice and some answers.


Ginjou and his partners better be defeated in one or two chapters, Ichigo should be able to return to his full power similar to that which defeat Aizen I assume that training didn't go to waste I'm a little concerned about everyone of his friends are they all useless but Ichigo? They all got to train in a year and a half and these two guys although smart are nothing like Aizen yet can't defeat them? Worst training ever. Watch them randomly get stronger.

I like where it's at now but it's not satisfying I want some answers powers and strength need to match up with intelligence sheesh. Sorry for the rant. lol

Happy to see the shinigami coming back. I like the fullbring arc (besides that ugly ass power ranger suit) but I'm happy to see it coming to an end....unless Kubo decides to draw it out as long as the Aizen battle. Seriously, what was suppose to be the most epic battle in the series turned out to be just plain annoying.
