The part with the asauchi bowing to ichigo was cool, but could have used some explanation as to why they except him all of a sudden. The whole process of ichigo and renji's training in that room was left very vague.....whatever, on to the next palace.

I hope the quincies will still be able to put up a good fight in the up coming battle. I really don't want all this build up to lead to a string of one sided battles....

Looks like Ichigo is going to have a zanpakuto again. That asauchi have a hollow like appearance.

Guess Hitsugaya will rely on swordsmanship from now on.

Hisagi having bankai, I don't know if it was mentioned before.

I wonder if the personality of zangetsu will be lost. The original one. He did cry when ichigo learned the final getsuga tenshou and told him that this meant goodbye.


Yeah I know what you mean but since Ichigo chose Asauchi that was a Hollow, I cant help but think that Zangetsu will be changed on the outside but still have the same personality. I had always wanted the old man to re-appear but it seems to have been absorbed with the Hollow so I guess now we have to assume the hollow-like zangetsu will turn up :)

This chapter would be pretty good, if only Kubo didn't insist again with Ichigo's mary-sueness. Oh look, all the asauchi are bowing to him! He's so heroic! So perfect! Wow.

Yeah I thought it was actually kind of cheesy :/ The scene is drawn nicely but it would've had more on an impact on me if I knew why they were bowing to him (besides maybe the fact that he's found his resolve or something?). Best part of this chapter was Toshiro :D I love how realistic he is, realizing that he needs to start from the basics again since there's no way (at least at the moment) for him to get back his bankai. Because of his determination to practice, the other people around him became motivated too.

I think a lot of people (or just me) misunderstood the "show me your bankai" statement. I think Kensei suspects Hisagi is capable of 'waking up' his Bankai and learning to use it, I don't think he just has one stored up. Nor do I think all the other lieutenants have it either, that would be just... thick.

The giant dog was a pretty sick looking thing. I do hope it doesn't mean YET ANOTHER fighter on the Soul Society's side though... I mean... well, it seems like the odds are just stacking right up against the Quincies. Sure, Juha Bach and his henchmen are pretty damned powerful. They can also take Bankais (unless you happen to be Ichigo). But now we've got the 13 Divisions + 0 Division (apparently stronger than everybody in the 13 combined) + Kukkaku, Ganju and the Fullbringers + Grimmjow, Urahara, Orihime and Chad + the Visoreds and Yoruichi, wherever they happen to be right now.
And a bunch of the Sternritter are already dead already, mostly thanks to Kenny and Yamamoto.

Ichigo is just badass like that.


^THIS.

People need to realize that characters showcasing strength =/= mary sue.

If there's ANYTHING Bleach managed to do perfectly its to showcase Ichigo's flaws as human being. Anyone calling him a mary sue frankly has no idea what that word means.

You're so right. Ichigo may be the one with the greatest potential, but he cannot use all his power in every situation. During the fight with Aizen he was manipulated by Aizen and Gin often enough to see that Ichigo may be strong, but he's still immature and weak against mind games.

I think it's the first time Nimaiya Oestu saw a asauchi to bow down in front of a shinigami.

The question is if the Ichigo's zanpakuto will be like a katana or in a shikaï shape...

Well I prefer Ichigo 'power ups' than Captain/vice captain being able to defeat Sternritters by mere 'cold weapons'.

And bankais -> they may be able to 'do' bankai, but it doesn't mean that they are good in it. I think it takes 10 years to master it.

@Scrodulus
Quantity doesn't mean quality. They don't need big number of people to fight but they need few strong enough.

And I still don't get this asauchi stuffs.

I very disagree : learning of the bankaï and the shikaï and the powers from them are things that are done only between the shinigami and his zanpakuto. So Hisagi already has his bankaï. Kensei just wants to see the level of Hisagi's bankaï.

It's amazing to see Mashiro to use her punches.
I wonder what happened to Hyori and Lisa....

Good chapter - liked the spotlight for the less popular characters(except Hitsu x) finally Komamura's background, so I guess the charts will go down even further.

Ichigo's disposition made the enemies he fought for days bow down to him... it's good to say that he's back! If he didn't at least do that, what would Aizen say to him when he comes back right?

Nice to see some swordsmanship training with Toushiro, it should be mandatory for every captain though.

Hisagi with BANKAI? Hell yes. I can't wait to see it, his shikai release was already so badass.

Also... that final panel... Komamura! Looking forward to a brief explanation on what species they are.

I believe Shuuhei achieved bankai somewhere during the 17 month timeskip, could have been a motivation to get over Tousen's death. He clearly still hangs on to the lesson "fear the sword" and the bankai of Kazeshini must be something he finds truly horrifying and is too afraid to use it. This is the barrier Kensei will use force to break and beat some sense into Shuuhei. The training is harsh, but that's how the Vizard rule, even they overcame their own fear when dealing with the hollow side.

What. Why did the Asauchi Ichigo chose have a hollow mask? What's more, it was eerily similar to the one he used to have. Return of Hollow Ichigo?!? YES.

Shuuhei's Bankai? I'm expecting a ridiculous looking scythe but we'll see.

Wow, Komamura history. Didn't think he'd ever get anything.

Hisagi Shuuhei has a bankai? WTF since when?! It was probably mentioned a while back and I simply forgot about it but still... I'm so excited to see his bankai now. His shikai alone, Kazeshini, is too awesome. :D
It was never mentioned or shown. I wouldn't be too surprised however, considering how he doesn't even like to bring out his shikai.

I agree... but then again people call Goku the perfect mary sue lmfao... Guy might be the strongest in DB universe now that he's a god but he dies and gets his ass kicked so many times.

I guess crap like that is just 'in' these days so people call anything a troll or a mary sue or plot protected,nakamainfused etc


Not to mention that people seem to forget... Soul King looks like he wants something from Ichigo, ofcourse these bitches should bow down before him.
