Getting a Zan is a part of becoming a soul reaper so I guess so. Unless her zan gives her the ability to transform in the the cat or whatever. Would be pretty good ability for a captain of squad 2.

Yoruichi does have a zanpakuto.
But she's just never used it in the series.
She prefers Hakuda, Kido, Shunko and Flash Step more.

Anty. That's a new one. I'll have to add that to the list, next time.

Yep. Pretty big.

About a dozen or so people posting, each quite active.

The Renji cosplay was the best out of those others.

I bet Smiley is secretly jealous that you got to meet Unohana. :p

Thanks, my sister made the outfit, and she found green eyeshadow that was vibrant enough, so we used that. I just had to frown for it to all fit together.
I think shiny Pokemon plushies are more rare than an actual shiny.

I agree.

XD When I saw the Unohana I was like "Must take a pic for Smile!!"

We don't actually know that for certain.
I reread the chapter, and the Mantaray could be her shikai, or her bankai, or she might be able to summon her zanpakutou spirit, or something else entirely, we don't know.

[-Lapras-]

Wasn't her Zan spirit some random hooded guy?

That was a filler. And while it was probably drawn/designed by Kubo anyway, it could be retconned if he wants.

Not to mention, that still leaves the option of it being a shikai, a bankai, or maybe she has to power to use animals, and modify then, or whatever XD.

Also, please no one liners.

How is it? :O

idk. XP I quite like the current filler, though.

I would, if he met the real Unohana which is unlikely

Fish cake > Isane.
Yeah, a giant manta ray that can heal people in its stomach.

Aww thank you XD

I like to think of it as her shikai. She used it too often to be her bankai, but one never know.

That's what in the filler, as ILPy said. And plus, that's the humanoid form Minazuki. E.g Renji's zanpakto, Zabimaru is a snake-tailed baboon in the manga but got a human form in the filler as well. I'm guessing the spirit can assume any appearance they want to, or maybe humanoid only if they get out of their zanpakto.

Who is MC? ._.

I wish that we had a bit longer battle with some of the Espada members I kinda miss them tbh. ;;
I just started on 317 and so far:

Spoiler:

Kon found a naked girl and brought her home and when Ichigo saw her naked he turned red and Rukia's eyes widened. :3

Bleach has done the mysterious waifu trope pretty well so far. Can't wait for the next episode actually.

Waifu trope? /isdumb ><

I'm actually going to catch up sometimes this week, or at least I plan to.
I might also rewatch the Hueco Mundo arc. since it was my favorite.

What's everyone else favorite arc?

[-Lapras-]

Mysterious Wife is the plot device used a lot in anime, mysterious woman turns up, changes everything. To Love-Ru and Welcome to the NHK! would be good examples of it.

My favourite arc is still the Rescue arc, season 3 I believe. After that i guess it would be the Ulq arc and filler i loved the Zan rebellion and the current one.

Ohhh. Who knew I would learn a new thing today? :0

The Rescue Arc was pretty good, is the Zan rebellion the one where they transform into material beings and attack everyone/each other?

[-Lapras-]

Indeed, the rebellion led by an antagonist better than most others in Bleach.

I really liked him, voiced by the same guy that did Okazaki as well.

I did not know that he did Okazaki's voice .

But then again:

Spoiler:

Didn't that guys master kill him? And wasn't his master Kuchiki's great grandfather?

[-Lapras-]

That sounds about right, sad arc was sad.

Materialised Zangetsu V Ichigo was cool as was the whole Byakuya faking joining up with Muromasa and the rest.

Now I remember it, Zaraki was pretty ticked and he wanted to face Byakuya.

On the topic of Zaraki, has anyone seen the previous Zaraki?

[minchan]

Hey umm sorry I kinda died guys. LOL

But hey, I caught up with the Bleach anime in the past few days. Now I can talk about new episodes and stuff! I feel included again. =D

My favorite canon arc is the TBTP arc. Debuted in America this past weekend. =D

Second favorite canon arc is probably a tie between the Soul Society arc (Rukia's rescue arc) and

Spoiler:

the one that just finished, the real/fake Karakura town arcs combined... Basically the end of the series prior to the time skip, but after Hueco Mundo.

Favorite non-canon (filler) arc is probably the zanpakuto arcs (both of them combined), for now. Though I have a feeling the current one will overtake it soon...

In other news, I procrastinated homework for nearly a week while I had off, so don't expect to see me again today (May 31, 2011). LOL I'll be busy~

But in completely separate news, I baked cookies. =D

I quite like the Zanpakto rebellion arc, but BEFORE Koga was introduced. After we found out that Muramasa is actually doing all these to free Koga, it started to go downhill. (I seriously had expected to see Unohana vs Minazuki). But after the main series ended and the Toju individual episodes started, the whole arc just went from bad to horrible.

For canon arc, I must say I also love the Fake Karakura Town arc (idk how far it extends). We got to see Soi Fon's bankai, Shunsui and Ukitake's shikai fully explained, and some awesome Kido by Hachi and Urahara. The HM arc was also quite nice, because of the Byakuya and Mayuri fights. (I'm not a very big fan of Ichigo and Kenpachi fights, yeah).

The only down thing about the FKT/HM arc is that it has little Unohana in it. =( Ah well, at least we saw her traveling with Ichigo and healing Hiyori. =\

[Binary]

My favorite arcs take up season one, two and three; namely, The Substitute, The Entry, and The Rescue (According to Wikipedia, derp). The Arc which revolved around the Bount was pretty boring. The Hueco Mundo Arc was alright; some of the fights were good. The Fake Karakura Town arc was pretty good too; good fights there too. That is all. :P

[RASENCERO]

>.> many posts...
I'll start somewhere.

Welcome to the Bleach Fan Club ~Ryukaa! I am the lieutenant of the 12th Squad, Rasencero.

We have indeed. Renji was the best. Yours wasn't all that bad, but the mask would have finished it.

Eyeshadow? lol What did your sister dress up like?

I don't remember where though.

Noooo! Don't lure Ilpy!

Favorite arc:

Spoiler:

I quite like the KT/FKT arc, but as filler goes the first half of the zanpakuto rebellion are was awesome. This might get better then that one though. Fullbring arc is getting there.

Today's ep... I think Smile!'s head exploded. Oh wait, there is also an ending with Unohana. Stand back and watch the rest go boom.
It took me this long to realize, but they stole my cloning idea!

Spoiler:

Granted, they use modsouls but still...
I get the feeling that kageroza has an army of Reigai captains. That's what I would do.

If the captain commander would ever need to be replaced, I think Unohana is the most capable.

[Charizard★]

Wasn't the old Zaraki (not trying to be racist) dark skinned?

I'm just curious because I heard a couple of kids talking about it in my school the other day.

Something I just realised... I don't know if you can see half of the sign in the background, but she was in the yaoi section. I'll leave you with that thought.

Hm... I couldn't say which is my "favourite" arc. I might go with on of the Hueco Mundo arcs, though (there are 2, right? One before, and one after the filler).

My thoughts exactly.

Yeah, you're right, the only problem was that a mask was too expensive, and I had no way of making it within a month.

A shinigami academy student. No pics :p

Yeah, Unohana. Maybe Shunsui, because he would know to get serious.

Yes, yes he was (his name isn't Zaraki, it's Kenpachi Kiganjou).
And you aren't being racist unless you're being offensive. If there was nothing offensive said, then you aren't being racist.

Wow, well that was a fail x.x
I overheard them talking about how Kubo might bring back the previous captains in a flash back or something? I doubted it because I had heard nothing about it, so I'm pretty sure they were just making it up. Can anyone verify this?

I'm pretty sure that's just rumours/speculation. Someone else should confirm, but I think the only thing we know is that we'll have a short arc and a long arc (did he say the order?), Bleach is halfway through, and he'll continue for another 10 years or so.

I think most people speculated that, after the Winter War, we'd have a short flashback arc that ties everything up (especially with the reintroduction of a certain shinigami, and his relationship with a certain Quincy, perhaps), which obviously didn't happen.

And of course, that group of previous captains, were only shown from the Masked character book 2 (the third should be coming out, I think, I remember seeing the cover in one of the scanlations). It's likely that Kubo will go to them and flesh them out EVENTUALLY.

10 more years left of the anime or just in anime years? Yea, I'm pretty sure that's the right order.

Tbh, I would like to see the previous captains in a flash back, it would be nice. Anyone else agree?

I think he meant ten years of drawing the manga. Since, I guess, he himself doesn't really do anything for the anime (I'd guess that he'd design some filler characters, maybe come up with the plot for arcs, or have an idea for a short filler that the anime could use).

I don't think anyone would disagree :p
