We might get him next chapter. Someone had to open Garganta for Nel right? I don't think She's that strong to open one herself. Maybe if She could revert back to adult form when needed.

it could have been her fraccion, right? Pesche and Dondochakka haven't been seen in a long time but they were never officially killed off. it'd make sense they'd be able to send her.

Hm.. another two old characters enter the story, nice. And especially for Hallipel we have another reason to be happy seeing her if you get my drift.

Finally with the SS and old characters and parties being involve you get the feeling that you are actually in the Bleach story unlike the previews arc that always felt like some kind of filler and to be honest it felt like that since it was nothing but an Ichigo power excuse and serve as a break for this arc.

So are we do assume the dude isn't the spirit king? I mean why would he need Hueco Mundo to invade Soul society if he was? I assume the spirit king would have had an easy access to Soul Society.
On the other hand a super quincy king sound a little ridiculous and if it's not a completely new entity then they ain't anyone else left but the Spirit King.
I loled on how he killed both of them.

I don't get why many assume that Halibel was used to create arrangars? Just because she's a prisoner doesn't mean she used like that. Besides can an Espada(i assume their Vasto lords) even be used like that. They ain't the hokyoku.

And they do have a very easy access to SS. They can enter whenever they want. Its more than likely that he just wants to have fodder in numbers for the purge to be easier, if he is a spirit king. Arrancar do seem to be helluva afraid of him.

And yeah. Halibel was just a symbol that the guy has control of hueco mundo. She was an acting "queen" of HM and kubo just showed her there to indicate that they took over hm. Hence "as many arrancar as we want". People assuming they are using Halibel in some ways to create them have way too dirty minds...

So you think he can be Soul King.. Then why would he want to invade soul society? First, it's his territory. Second, They're not planning to make king key to get his throne.. Any thoughts?

or he's just trying to prove that I'm the big bad guy?

But I'm not really sure about anything anymore... no longer sure what this guy is, what he wants, where he is, how he promotes people to his "guard"... is this really "the thing" that Urahara defended?


The word used in japanese for Soul King was not just for inanimate objects but for, literally monsters. This guy does qualify as quite a monster.

Just saying that I don't think he's a "king" in the traditional meaning of the word.

If Urahara protects him, it's not because the Spirit King is doing good, it's because the existence of him and his world is essential for the current mapping of the Bleach Universe.

Crazy theory incoming:

If this arc is as huge as some people have guessed (8-10 years) then every question mark in the Bleach Universe has a chance of getting an explanation.

They might go so far as explain where the Soul King came from, how the 13 divisions were founded, maybe even what existed before humans and hollows came into the picture.

He doesn't look like a "king", not the kind of king that acts like a servant of the people at least, it doesn't even look like he has any type of control of things... which makes me suspect that maybe he WAS a king once, but now he's only a king in name. There might be a group of fighters we haven't seen yet... the true royal guard. And their job might not be to protect the Spirit King, instead, it might be to protect the world from the Spirit King and keep him locked away in his prison.

Crazier theory incoming:
Soul Society and the Hollow world might have been split up just to shove the Spirit King inbetween. And now the Spirit king is trying to fuse his worlds back together so he can be freed.

control of things

I THINK his power is like FBs(manipulating souls) but in higher level.
ps. Maybe "Spirit King" is just thing.
For example:
-you got crown you are king. "Crown" doesn't have mind but person which he are possessing has mind.

I have seen theories that he's a parasite that uses strong fighters as hosts, probably why he's interested in Ichigo... could be true...

But when I said that he didn't have "control of things", I didn't mean that he was lacking in power, his ability to manipulate the souls that are close to him is probably unmatched. It just didn't seem like he had a position where he could give orders to either Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.

And I think the name "Spirit King" has more meaning than simply "the entity that has complete control of the souls around him". I think the name has a history behind it...

After watching the last episode of bleach. Soul Society needs to be destroyed by that new guy. I truly hope a lot of captains die. Especially that fake sick captain hope he be the first. I just hope Ichigo dont go to SS rescue since he is basically their dog now. Hope he sides with Nel and Halibel in this arc and not SS.

I was so happy to see Nel & Harribel c: I felt that they were the arrancars that were left behind from that arc and they never actually saw the light of day again.. UNTIL THIS CHAPTER.
If Grimmjow comes back.. omg I will die happily. He's my fave character in Bleach and I was upset that his "death" (if he died) was so open ended.

What. So they are Arrancars? When did Arrancars learn Quincy artes, which should not even be possible since Ishida's dad should be the only one with the vast knowledge required of a Quincy.

Nel appearing out of nowhere, good to see her again. Halibel though...I thought for sure she was killed by Aizen.

So Hueco Mundo was captured that easily? This king is brutal and has quite the powerful underlings. How typical...

They revealed that Halibel survived in UNMASKED, the third character book, and that's all the explanation I expect about it from Kubo. I've already said my piece on how stupid this is.

Not really, there's 3 states a character can be: 'alive', 'dead' or 'unknown'. People just wrongly assumed she was dead (When we didn't even see her die, just wounded (And not that much at that from Bleach's standard)) but her state was unknown.

So please, Kubo never intended to make it look like she was alive, but neither did he intended to make it look like she died. He left her fate to mystery and readers are the ones at fault on this matter.
Now I think that Kubo abuse a bit of these convenience but in itself they aren't that bad.

Also you never thought that we could get a flashback from Harribel about what happened after Aizen got defeated until a bit in the timeskip?

So Sasakibe actually dies... A death of a named and ranked Bleach character on the protagonists side? Hmm.

Anyway, NEL and HALIBEL (Slave mode lol)! Also, like many have already brought up....

GRIMMJOW WILL RETURN!.

He used to be my favourite character in Bleach but I already accepted that he was long gone and moved on. I really hope he comes back new and improved and assists the protagonists this time around. He and Ichigo would be an EPIC team (like how Goku and Vegeta were back in our childhoods. ^^)

Also, this Empire King is doing his job well for creating hate. He's a typical cruel villain but I guess that's what's necessary right now.
