Well it'll all turn out to be a part of Aizen's master plan, and we all kinda know that. I mean, if there's going to be some dramatic plot revelations iand changes t seems a bit early in the arc. IF Inoue can pull it off, then no doubt Aizen intended for her to all along anyway - maybe it'll be like a shortcut.

Just curious, but the Hogyoku (sp?) is completely unecessary for creating the ou-Ken isn't it? I'm pretty sure the only thing it does is create Arrancar (and I guess Vizards too).

Ah, I get it - the Vizards are the people Urahara originally did Hogyoku experiments on! ;)

Vizards are shinigami who illegally got hollow powers although it never does explain how they got them.
I think orhimie will fuck it up and cause the awaking of that black ball.
And yeah that black ball only creates arancar from hollows. But it's only 50% awake or something.

It probably is part of Aizen's plan, hence the look on his face at the beginning of the next page. However, I also have a bad feeling about trying to do something so drastic to the Hougyoku. Trying to will something so powerful out of existence can have drastic and horrible repercussions. The damn girl could end up destroying the world, but I doubt it'll go that far.

Next Chapter: The End

Orihime attempts to will the Hougyoku out of existence, this sets off a chain reaction that causes the apocalypse. Bleach ends as the entire universe is willed out of existence.

Well I guess it'd be an end if Kubo got bored with it.

Shut yo mouf sucka!
I don't think bleach will end soon, it'll probably create retarded villians but over it will be not!
There are still tons of guys in SS to exploit for further plots.
Mayuri is awesome he needs more roles!

That *was* sarcasm you understand.

Personally I think Bleach will have Three major arcs, of which it is currently in the second. Volumes 1-6 were kind of liek a prelude, SS arc was arc 1, the new arc is arc 2. The third arc will probably be in Hell or something.

I dunno I think it's too popular to end like that. I do think he'll do a yukito(battle angel author who takes 3 months off) and take a long ass break from time to time and just release chapters monthly.

I think that Hueco Mundo may be the closest thing to Hell in Bleach. I mean, there's not really a Heaven, from what I've seen. *shrugs*

Well you see Hell really early on in the manga - well, it's gates. So it does exist, and it doesn't seem to be HM. You're right about the lack of Heaven though - SS it is not.

Yeah, I had considered the possibility of something like that. I vaguely remember this, but do you know what chapter it was in?

Way in the beginning when Sado, saved that parrot. The hallow killed that boy and his mom and was tormenting the parrot killing all of his owners. Then ichigo excercises the hollow. Then BAM.
Probably volume 5 to answer your question

It's in Volume 2, near the end. Can't remember the exact chapter though. The description was just so vague Kubo couldn't just leave it at that... well... he might.

Its releases like this latest one that really piss me off. I mean come on how many times does Ichigo have to get his ass handed to him? there are soo many other characters that I'd rather see fight than watch the same Ichigo fight everytime.

Ichigo finaly sees his strenght and uses his shallow to kick ass.

The fight ended well i think with how fast he finished of Nino dude when he used his full power.


I dont like how naive Ichigo was thinking he could win without banki and his shallow mode.

actually the dude even admitted that ichigo could've beaten him without going hollow mode and that he was honored for the glimpse of power ichigo gave him... i'm just sick of all these off the wall hollows and their puking powers.... nell... beatle head... bastards

Yeah i know that but he has to learn to go all out from the start and be cold and not heal his enemies just like Nino dude said.

He cant start playing like he did against this guy against the strongest ones. He must go hallow mode directly.



Thats what i mean by naive.


Hopefully the next oppenents almost kills him, taking him a prisoner torturing him and stuff maybe then he will learn to fight like a true warrior.


These childish behavior reminds me why i dont read as many shonens as before.


I read more mangas with Guts type characters who dont know how to fight without going all out with any means possible.

Don't worry man, he's got it. Ichigo realizes he can't hold back now. What's this Shallow business though? Don't you mean Hallow, or are you trying to start something there? Anyway, the new chapter was kind of amusing. *shrugs*

I get the feeling of that too, it has lost the spark it had at the awesome SS arc.


Hopefully this arc can get going soon.



Where is Zaraki? :(

Yeah, my late fears of this next arc becoming a SS arc - Orihime version - did came to happen but i gotta hand it to Kubo, the story may be at it´s worst and he could do much better with the story but these Arrancar guys are much interesting adversaries to Ichigo than the Death God Co.

And i like what he did with Orihime, that fairy crap he did with her was just fucking terrible.


Also, did you guys notice that bird arrancar that Ishida defeated was the first Arrancar that appeared on the series?

The problem with arancars are that they have no personalites nothing that makes them interesting.


Only Grimjaw(sp?) was interesting of the ones i have seen fight and talk.
