I just got to the part where everyone gets there powers, I had a feeling something like this was going to happen to chad but not the others... oh and that Massive Hollow was awesome
I wonder what the soul society will think about that one... the manager guy seems to know a lot about everything... I guess you guys already know most of this though so no spoilers please its just getting good.
Yeah where does it show Ichigo obtaining bankai??

STFU n00b. No one else is secure enough in their manhood to have a pink shikai/bankai. Besides, White Imperial Sword is spectacular.Ayanami wrote:Pink Flowers of Doom? Yeah right, Byakuya's Bankai is for the gays.
Ichigo's Bankai FTW.

Ichigo's Bankai rocks there is no comparison, I just cant wait for him to be as bad ass as his masked self, with the black moon attacks and shit
Byakuya's Bankai is pretty gay although the white imperial Sword was "awesome" it still got pwned by someone who had just learned how to use is Bankai

If you haven't already got to it, you'll learn soon why Ichigo was able to defeat the entirety of the Soul Society like that, and why technically no single Shingami or Hollow after that point will ever be able to defeat him.Sandman wrote: Byakuya's Bankai is pretty gay although the white imperial Sword was "awesome" it still got pwned by someone who had just learned how to use is Bankai
And am I the only on who wants to see Ukitake and Kyoraku's zanpakutos in action? I mean, other than the shikai, we never get to see anything from them.

The Arrancar seem much more interesting than the Bounto. Though it feels weird that everyone from the evil world speaks Spanish. The arrancar mention their numbers in Spanish "Arrancar número seis, Grimjow", they're called espada (which means sword) and are from Hueco Mundo (hollow world). The word arrancar means "to pull out violently".
The only good character that speaks Spanish (but has never done so in the series) is Chad.

You mean the filler arc is finally finished?

Yeah, I've been there... Don't you hate when her parents walk in?War Machine wrote:The word arrancar means "to pull out violently".
The translation I've heard, and prefer since it makes more sense in this case, is "to remove," as in, a mask. It makes sense since Vaizard means "visored" or "masked." Hollow abilities have been spanish since the beginning, to my knowledge. Cero means "Zero" and Hueco Mundo (properly Mundo Hueco in spanish) means "Big Emptiness/Void."
It also bears note that the arrancar are (mostly) named after (mostly) spanish architects or artists.

Considering the amount of Spanish used I wonder where it comes from. Most of the words used are easy words, but sometimes they use fairly unknown ones like "exequias" (which are honorary funerals). Either the author is looking through a dictionary or he knows some Spanish, or someone who does.
Arrancar does mean to remove, but it's only used when it is meant in a violent or angry way, otherwise we use words like quitar, remover, extraer, etc.

I thought that the most literal translation of "Arrancar" is "Tear" as in "Tearing apart".
And "Hueco Mundo" is Hollow world.
But Grimmjow is an obvious corruption of the english "Grimmjaw".

None of the Espada names actually sound spanish to me, if they´re based on spanish names, that makes more sense.Zerapollo: Alejandro Zaera Polo

Spanish influenced anime/manga interesting... now all I need to see is the Espada chilling in a low rider with spiner rims
But anyway 123 is out and Ichigo's new training session is just started, cant wait to see this one play out, this part in the manga was awesome

Which is why I said "mostly." Shawlong, Nakim and Wanderweiss (properly Van der Weiss?) are Chinese- and Dutch-sounding, I think.Deathbringer wrote: None of the Espada names actually sound spanish to me, if they´re based on spanish names, that makes more sense.

Re: Bleach
You're in luck, I just found which chapter it is. Episode 126 is exactly on chapter 226.

Re: Bleach
just caught up with the current stuff and now I cant wait for it to catch up to the manga... I think Ichigo is scaried of leaving that mask on too long because he might let go of control... I cant wait until Inoue reliezes her full power then she will be unstopable
Thank you sir, may I have another
Re: Bleach
Yeah, she has like one of the most powerful abilities in the entire series. Maybe the strongest.

The group of friends sure took long to gain new abilities, they had been practically powerless since they stepped on Soul Society for the first time.
