[minchan]

Sorry for not coming around much lately but damn it's a little boring without new chapters ya know? =/

Reactions to that interview thingy:

Aww f*ck. Aizen returns? Damn it he should just die. >.<

Oh btw, on that topic, let's kill Aizen already. >w<

same reasoning. =)

Okay... let's see what else...

So if this is a real interview then it's like, 100000% confirmed Grimmjow is actually dead...? I know people were not sure at some point, but...?

Looking forward to seeing Urahara's nature... lol

Unohana is boring to me but I DO wonder about her zanpakuto. So it'd be cool to see more about it.

But I'm honestly more curious about certain others we haven't seen... >.<

Anime 357

Spoiler:

A pretty good episode.
I like that the anime team is expanding on this arc.
I personally think this episode Trollkishima's abilities more, believable.
It was good to see some real progression with the effects of his abilities on the victims.

Plus, Chad got some action scenes! 8D
I noticed that he doesn't seem to use his Fullbring powers like the others.
He doesn't seem to give off that green light...

They also show Riruka's tsundere nature a lot better in the anime. xD

Yes, there are plenty of loose ends that need to be addressed.

Anime!

Spoiler:

I like the expansion being done here, but I also liked the minimalist feel of the manga. The anime gives us explanation, the manga gave us a creepier feel to it since we didn't know as much. xD

But then again, seeing Chad and Orihime writhe in agony as their memories were being completely overwritten is rather creepy as well. >_____>

[Renyui!]

Does anyone know the gap between the anime and manga, judging by chapters? I just hit the up-to-date point in the anime and was kind curious.

[Zameric]

Only a few more days until the manga comes back! 8D

Anime 358

Spoiler:

Kubo should make an omake for the anime, where Uryu is a detective. xD
Maybe he could throw in a Detective Conan reference.

Ichigo's Fullbring completion was cool, even more so because of the soul singers.
Number One is one of my favorite Bleach original sountracks.

And now Trollkishima's mind**** assault begins! D:
Stuff like this is always better in the anime, since they can make it more dramatic.
It was hard to watch the scene where Ichigo comes home. >.<

Lmao, need a shoulder boob to cry on? XD
Oh god, more mind****. >.<

Actually, not very much, now.
The latest episode, #358, is taken from chapter #453. The latest chapter in the manga was #479.
With this three week break in the manga, which is almost over, they might have to pause the anime, or make a filler.

[XEL]

Oooooh. I wanna join!

Since there haven't been any new chapters in a few weeks; Did anyone else think Ginjo and the Fullbringers were terrible villains? They weren't even interesting in the slightest bit..

Keiri.

What the hex? I thought the interview stated otherwise but this...

...this sounds fair.

Hello and welcome to the Bleach fan club, Xel.
I'd like to suggest that you use spoilers for discussing things that haven't come out in the US already, where they may be needed.
While I don't really agree with you, I liked the Fullbring arc more in the anime than the manga.

I thought that interview was odd from the start.
I don't know how much of it was true, but a few points sounded neat.
Anime News Network corroborates the news that Meltyshard posted.
I'm a bit saddened by this, but we've know about it, so I've come to accept it.
*Raises sake cup* To the final arc of Bleach being a good one!

I give Byakuya Kuchiki 1 point for being one of the few captains that could probably defeat me. ;p

I take 1 point from Sōsuke Aizen so he can give Tōsen some company.

I recall reading that it is only speculated to be the last arc(and rumoured to be the longest arc).

[Pokestick, good times.]

Hey guys, new chapter pretty soon, so might as well drop by.

I'm liking the episodes now. They're going places :D
This arc has had some really nice animation at times, too.

***

And I'm familiar with how Kubo actually has the end planned out, and he's stated that it's gone "halfway", so this really long arc gotta be good :P
...Or else.

[Zameric]

Anime 359

Spoiler:

A great episode for Ichigo being an action hero. :p
But they censored Trollkishima's arm being hacked off! D:<
I think the only other time they've done that was when Chad first fought Yammy.
Bleach anime team, I am disappoint.

Ginjo, join the dark side on Trollkishima will buy you something nice. XD

The omake was awesome! xD
Even Trollkishima's powers can have drawbacks.

ANIME

Spoiler:

That is exactly what I came here to say! xD

Although Chad "snuggling" Tsukishima is rather...wtf-ish. xD

Other than that, I am enjoying the anime so far, I just think less foreshadowing is what made the manga so interesting; it was all "What the heck, Ichigo's entire world just turned upside down!" Now, you could totally see it coming. :\

+1 Ukitake just because. :P

[minchan]

I sure hope we get answers to the questions we all want answered...

Royal Guard (also will we learn more about Urahara's predecessor? Umm Hikifune or something?)
Other vizards' positions (did they go there, or somewhere else?)
Aizen, will he return?
Will the remaining living fullbringers ever reappear?

And personally, I kinda wish Tatsuki and the other school friends would have more of a role in the story... =/ Now that they know all the details of Ichigo's powers, maybe they'll be featured at least a bit more...?

Oh and of course, more details about Ichigo's mom...
ISSHIN'S PAST

And I've been wondering where the hell Jinta and Ururu came from for the longest time... =/

There's soooo many questions... Can one arc really answer them all...??

---

Does anyone have a concrete idea as to how long this will be...?

I mean, I've heard 30 more volumes, I've heard the same as the arrancar arc (roughly)...

But is there actual evidence...? I'm not quite sure...

Besides, the "arrancar arc" is kinda subjective... It could mean JUST the arc of the introduction of arrancars to the story, or it could mean the whole arrancar introduction all the way through the Aizen battle, or at least the espada fight in Fake Karakura...

I personally kinda hope it's comparable to the arrancar intro through Aizen battle length, just because I don't really want to see this end so soon, and also because there really are SO many questions left unanswered still.

I'm sure some answers (like the other vizards' positions) will probably come sooner than some others (like information on the Royal Guard, for example)...

MAN. LESS THAN A DAY (hopefully!) until the new chapter... But I've already speculated so much... XD LOL

I kinda hope it comes out a decent time before 11AM Eastern because my class starts then, and I'm in class from 11-6. =/ (And dinner right after, so it'd take quite a while to read it, should it come out, say, 11:30...)

Nonetheless I am looking VERY forward to the next chapter. I hope this final arc will be amazing, something to remember. And of course I hope it's truly as long as it's expected to be... It's gonna be one hell of a ride if it's really only half way done. XD

Latest Bleach chapter has been translated.

Spoiler:

final arc and it's going to be a long one... from what I've read, it might have something to do with the spirit king and hell

[Pokestick, good times.]

Spoiler:

Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be about the Spirit King. At least something with a huge amount of power.
And I'd guess this will be going on for about another ten years, if what Kubo has said is accurate :P

[RASENCERO]

Aww yeah, new chapter!
Manga:

Spoiler:

Actually nothing much to say here. This apparently will be the final arc, but a loooong one. The shadow..Aizen?

Anime:

Spoiler:

I've finally caught up! I'm liking it more then the manga, probably because some scenes are extra. And its going a bit faster.

Kon stole Ishida's body and got both of them killed after flicking up Unohana's dress). Orihime Rukia combo end up erasing the universe but Orihime's power evolves so she can create as well as delete, she makes a world exactly like day one of bleach but without all o fthe bad stuff and of course Ichigo is a Orihime fanboy.

inb4 I get scouted to take over Kubo's position as writer.

DAFAQ did I just read?

One does not simply get distracted by 9gag. School distracts from 9gag.

[-Lapras-]

Not really a lot to say about the new chapter. Looking forward for seeing who gets to voice that new pair.

[Pokestick, good times.]

As an imgurer, I'm afraid my bias on 9gag isn't the best.

LAPRAS, MAKE IT HAPPEN. NAO.
SEE IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT AS ARTSY AS KUBO ALWAYS WANTED.

And hell yes BLEACH TWO. IT'S LIKE A WHOLE NEW GAME!

[Pikapal642]

MANGA MANGA MANGA (No I'm not excited)

Spoiler:

So is there some other group other than Quincies that can eliminate Hollows completely? If so, hmmmmm. If not, then hmmmmm. xD

Mayuri...What a nice...helmet, you have?

Eh, I wanted to see Ichigo again, so I kinda skimmed though most of the chapter. xD

EDIT: This page...last three panels...anyone else think that looks like somebody activating Hollow bait? A QUINCY PERHAPS?

Watch out guys I am over thinking things again.

[Pokestick, good times.]

Spoiler:

...So, we have a potential Quincy? I don't know why Kubo would want such a character, but all right.

...Or maybe it's a new "race" which similarities to the Quincy are non-intended.
Like, uh, some God-like race that can destroy and spawn hollows with their sheer will? xD

[I like Pokemon (...)]

Spoiler:

THE ONE THOUSAND YEAR HOLY WAR.
This sounds like it's going to be good!

The "Sutra Scale"? Google comes up with nothing, so I guess it's something new.

Okay, so mass Hollow-destructification.

Okay, so we know the problem with the Hollows has already gotten quite big over the past while. "Only minor adjustments were made to deal with the previous problems". This is going on a limb, but Urahara might have noticed this already, and planned something?

The barrier between the World of the Living and Soul Society being broken down... Digimon?

Mayuri's new headpiece. I don't like it. Will have to get used to it. But he says "Are them and them alone." My first thought were the Quincies, but being extinct, it means that something special has happened The Jager have become canon or possibly even something related to the Soul King. He did also say "The only ones capable..." though I feel that if it wasn't the Quincies, he would have said "The only ones CURRENTLY capable" or something.

Bald guy with brown/purple hair, blonde guy, masked(?) guy, a guy with piercings on his ear, a guy with quite straight hair, and another one (two? Ichigo might be hiding one).

Oh look, a new guy. Yuki Ryuunosuke. What a name.

Shino. That body shot would have looked nice if she wasn't wearing a standard uniform.
Okay, so they're going to Karakura, obviously they're going to meet and befriend Ichigo and become part of his NAKAMA~
Also, "someone acknowledged your strength" - which means that he either has a very strong latent power (likely) or that's a red herring and he's useless and someone pulled strings in the background.

I almost ready "sissy" as something else that can be used that ends with "ssy" that might be filtered out.

"Shino-chan doesn't even have a chest to stick out" - I feel like this is a joke on how Kubo either draws flat, or very well endowed women.

MAN ON A BUILDING. If he's like Rukia and Shinji before, then it means he's not actually a villain. And what he's breaking does seem to be like Hollow Bait or something.

Man, the mood changed very quickly. I don't know if that worked out as well for me. Though maybe I was just reading it too quickly. Music/colours might help.

"Her hand isn't moving. Neither is her body." Did Kubo just kill Shino? I don't know whether I'm glad or not lol. If he did, then it shows that he's not as... scared to kill characters anymore. But at the same time, she barely even did anything... Though it would give Yuki a TON of development.

SLASH!

Ichigo saving the day. Of course.

The suspicious shadow... Nothing really to say on him. I assume he's the person on the roof though, so my speculation stays here too.

Overall, I'm not sure what to say, really. We had the very early "OMG who?!", as well as many shadowy figures. Though it seems like Shino is killed off almost immediately, and we'll have to see how Yuki grows up. Maybe it's the fact that Ichigo came back in the first chapter? I dunno. Not got much of an idea of where this is going.

Welcome!! You can call me MeltyShard :D

About chapter 480:

Spoiler:

I'm really glad that no one else is home at this moment, because I started going into hysterics when I saw there was a new chapter... Ha..ha...

Well, looks like the beginning of a nice arc, since very little happened in this chapter.... But I was still somehow really excited when Ichigo showed up. Even though it was the most predictable aspect.

[Zameric]

Manga, yes Manga, 480

Spoiler:

I'm just going to say it now, this arc is going to be about Quincies.

• Hollows being exterminated
• Mayuri's comments
• the color spread
• ILP and Pikapal's point about the potential Hollow bait
• The title of the arc

I kind of like where this is probably going.
Several of us have thought that Quincies got kind of kicked to the side.
Maybe I'll be motivated to try to finish up my Quincy fanfic. XD

Overall, not a very dramatic beginning chapter, but still good.

Spoiler:

I don't quite know about that.
I know he said that he would like to/could continue on for another 10 years, but I don't it'll last that long.
How long was Furblinger arc?
