Spoiler:
For now, I'll say that I think Aizen and Kisuke are tied for first, only because Aizen is immortal because of the Hogyoku.

Spoiler:
Meh, I don't really think Kisuke is the strongest. He could be one of them, but not really the first one. Even Aizen, because he himself acknowledged that Yamamoto is stronger than him, if they fight one on one.

As for my opinion on this:
Yamamoto
Aizen
Unohana ^_______^
Barragan
Shunsui
...Maybe Urahara, yeah.

In no particular order.

By strongest I presume you mean more than just physical.

Obviously Ichigo, Aizen and Yamamoto are all certs. Away from that I would say;
Byakuya Kuchiki - Fabulous powers over 9000
Kenpachi - Just Kenpachi
Mayuri Kurotsuchi - With his Japanese x Italian accent and human shield cyborg daughter he's a handful.
urahara - Being smart and not had had his powers revealed to a large extent he'll be up there.
Ulquiorra Cifer - I assume he counts, didn't like him that much but he was the strongest in his class.
Yoruichi - Taking into account speed and her Shunkō she's well up there.
Isane Kotetsu - I don't care what you say she's here.

Zameric July 9th, 2011 9:04 AM

Who do you think are the top 10 strongest characters?
Spoiler:
1. Kisuke and/or Aizen
(only because Aizen is practically immortal)

2. Baraggan
(He could probably make Yamamoto's flames rot away >.>)

3. Yamamoto
(He's been Head-Captain of the 13 CGSs for 2000+ years)

4. Unohana and/or Kyoraku and/or Ukitake
(The three senior most captains after Yamamoto)

5. Ulquiorra
(I think he could beat most other Arrancar with his Segunda Etapa)

6. Yoruichi
(Really, she's right up there with the three seniors, I think)

7. Isshin
(Wish I knew more about his powers)

8. Starrk and/or Ichigo
(I'm only counting Soul Reaper and Vizard Powers; no FGT or Hichigo transformation)


9. Halibel

10. Byakuya and/or Kenpachi

Who do you think are the top 10 strongest characters?
Spoiler:
Alright, first, I think we should take a look at each group, consider the strongest few, and then compare them. It'll make it a lot easier and more fun.

So we start off with Ichigo's gang. To be fair, I think only Ichigo is powerful enough to be considered. Sure the others have been training, but it just doesn't compare anymore. For abilities alone, I'd have considered Orihime's space-time reversal, but she only uses it for healing.

Of Soul Society, only the Captains can really be taken into consideration. Of them, Yamomoto is the strongest, but his 3 disciples, Ukitake, Shunsui and Unohana, can also be considered. After that, I probably wouldn't consider anyone.

Then comes Aizen's gang. Aizen himself is obvioiusly the most powerful. While I think Gin is powerful, I don't think he's the kind who would win a one on one fight with one of the higher Espadas, for example. Speaking of, I'd consider Starrk, Barragan and Ulquiorra. Hallibel is ranked under Starrk and Barragan, but I think Ulquiorra's Segunda Etapa pushes him above her.

Of the Vaizards, only Hachi and the former-Captains can be considered (Shinji, Kensei, Love and Rose). I'm only including Shinji as we know what he can do.

I won't talk about XCution for the moment. We just don't know enough about them, though I'll throw in Tsukishima because, in theory, in a one-on-one fight, he can cut you and make him your friend, then literally stab you in the back.

Of Urahara's group... Urahara, Isshin, Tessai, Yoruichi. I'm tempted to throw in Ryuuken, but something tells me he can't really handle the power the others have here.


I'll do this in a weird way where I'll start from the list and slot them below/above someone:
I'll start with Ichigo. He is "neutral". [Ichigo]
Yamamoto obviously goes above him. [Yamamoto, Ichigo]
I'd probably rank his disciples as Unohana, Shunsui and Ukitake. Shunsui is scared of Unohana, and Ukitake is ill, but because of that, he can't stand up to Ichigo full-out. [Yamamoto, Unohana, Shunsui, Ichigo, Ukitake]
Aizen goes above everyone due to immortality. [Aizen, Yamamoto, Unohana, Shunsui, Ichigo, Ukitake]
Barragan's Respira is literally almost invincible. He could, in theory, make Yamamoto's flames die out (as all flames require a fuel. Even if Yamamoto's reiatsu is the fuel, reiatsu can fade as shown by Respira destroying kidou). [Aizen, Barragan, Yamamoto, Unohana, Shunsui, Ichigo, Ukitake]
Starrk obviously goes below Shunsui (but I think he could beat Yamamoto, and maaaaybe Ichigo on a stretch). Ulquiorra on Segunda Etapa is obviously lower than Ichigo, but higher than Ukitake. [Aizen, Barragan, Yamamoto, Unohana, Shunsui, Starrk, Ichigo, Ulquiorra, Ukitake]
Shinji... Is tricky. I'd probably throw him betweeen Shunsui and Starrk, because Shunsui is smart, and his powers are so... weird. But I think he can defeat Starrk at a push. [Aizen, Barragan, Yamamoto, Unohana, Shunsui, Shinji, Starrk, Ichigo, Ulquiorra, Ukitake]
Tsukishima... The thing is, if he cuts you, you're dead. So it's a case of "don't get hit". I think... probably everyone above Ichigo can avoid contact, though again, we've never seen him fight properly with anyone except maybe Ginjou. So I'll place him above Ichigo, but that's it. [Aizen, Barragan, Yamamoto, Unohana, Shunsui, Shinji, Starrk, Tsukishima, Ichigo, Ulquiorra, Ukitake]
Urahara, Tessai, Isshin and Yoruichi. We haven't really seen any of them fight, but I'd probably slot them around the level of Unohana and Shunsui. The only one I can say for certain is Urahara under Aizen. Because Aizen is immortal so he can never die, but he can still be "defeated" as we've seen. I'm sure he can find a way around Barragan, like Hachi did. [Aizen, Urahara, Barragan, Yamamoto, Unohana, Shunsui, Shinji, Starrk, Tsukishima, Ichigo, Ulquiorra, Ukitake]
Yoruichi/Tessai/Isshin would be TOO much of a guess. So here's what I have:

1. Aizen
2. Urahara
3. Barragan
4. Yamamoto
5. Unohana
6. Shunsui
7. Shinji
8. Starrk
9. Tsukishima
10. Ichigo
(11. Ulquiorra 12.Ukitake).
Though some places are obviously a lot more open to debate, such as Starrk and Tsukishima.


It's been a while since I had the opportunity to do this ^.^

I used my technical savvy to create a slideshow of Kubo's Arm Collection!
Please enjoy, and let me know what ya think. Or if there are any missing arms.

Ahahaha! This is absolutely hilarious! :D You guys did a good job on that.

Spoiler:
Hmmmm...I've never really thought about the top ten strongest characters before, so forgive me if mine seems off to you, these will probably be first impressions.

1. Aizen. I mean, c'mon. He really won the superpower lottery, there. -__-
2. Yamamato. When Aizen says "Watch out for him, he's tough" you watch out for him because he is tough.
3. Barragan. Rotting anything you want seems pretty powerful. The only reason I rank him under Yama is because I am sure there would be something he could do to defeat him.
4. Unohana. *Unohana death/cheerful glare* I dare you to argue with her. I really wish I could have seen Aizen face her. It would have been epic.
5. Ichigo. I originally was gonna put him as number one and say "Because plot demands him to be strongest" but I realized that plot would require him to be weaker so there would be any kind of suspense.

I only have five for now, if I can think of some more, I will post them. :3

Weeaboo Name July 11th, 2011 12:07 AM

Hah, that arm slide show is great.

Also random pic I found, to get the reference you will need to know Revolutionary Girl Utena.

smile! July 11th, 2011 2:24 AM

^I think I have seen that picture somewhere... idk. XD

Okay, reanswering the topic cos I got nothing to do

I won't list it in any order, though, because strength very subjective. [/lazy disclaimer]

Spoiler:
Yamamoto: Well yeah, you cannot rule this old man out. Even Aizen acknowledged that he himself cannot beat Yamamoto one on one, though that's before his transformation. Still, he's pretty powerful, trying to trap Aizen with only his shikai. Probably because he knows he doesn't need to use his bankai in order to finish off Aizen, otherwise he would have done so.

Shunsui: Obvious reasons, meh. He's one of the senior captains, his games are unpredictable, he beat the First Espada with only his shikai.

Unohana: ^___________^

Barragan: Heck, Hachi probably found one of his only weaknesses. Though I do suspect that Kido will be able to affect him, one way or another. (Hachi's initial Kido did rot, but then, that one was supposed to trap him, so what if they use Kido that straightaway damages him? Hado spells, for example. And I don't think his powers affect Yamamoto's fire, otherwise Aizen would not have needed to conjure up Wonderweiss; he could have easily used Barragan. Though yeah, those two also had their conflicts so yeah.

Shinji: We haven't really seen him in action, and his power is glossed over in the manga. His shikai is damn powerful; the only ways not to get affected would be to hold your breath or be a blind character. Once you're into its effect, you'll be an easy meat.

I don't know whether or not to place Urahara, and possibly Mayuri, here. Like I said, strength is very subjective. If we're talking about their powers alone, I don't think those two would fit to be here. But what makes them powerful is their knowledge. Urahara has a crapload of items he could use in his times of need; likewise, Mayuri's drugs and skills could be VERY powerful, but if based on their zanpakto alone, for example, I guess they won't make the top tiers.

Ichigo: Seriously, idk. Well yeah, he beat Ulquiorra, but he was unconscious the whole time, the one doing the fighting was his inner Hollow. He beat Aizen (or, yeah, caused Aizen to be imprisoned), but at the cost of his shinigami powers. In other words, he's strong when the plots needs him to be, otherwise, no.

Tsukishima: Nah, not really. (Just pointing this out to refute ILP's fact) His cut seems to take time to work, so he would be at an advantage ONLY if he has managed to cut you DAYS before.

There might be a few others I left, Gin, for example. Aizen is obvious. Tousen is also considerable. I'd like to put in Hachi as well, but he only specializes in Kido, though admittedly, that alone made him a badass.

Not to forget, Orihime. If she is on the evil side, she could easily make YOU disappear with a *poof*. Fear her.

Zameric July 12th, 2011 2:51 PM

Manga 456
Spoiler:
Yay! Thanks to the medkit, Kubo can take all the arms from Tsukishima he wants. >D
*Sits and waits for the next arm to add to the collection*

Splash page is cool!
What are Yoruichi and Soifon doing though? 8D
I love how Grimmjow and Hiyori have practically the same expression.
That kebab just seems to be magically sticking out of Rukia.

Dear lord, he truly is Trollkishima! D<
Anyone else notice how much he sounds like Aizen?

Kind of disappointed with what happened in this chapter.
Though, the fighting action was pretty cool.

I like Pokemon (...) July 12th, 2011 2:53 PM

Spoiler:
Yup, it's out.

Always nice to see a colour page. And with Orihime healing Tsukishima, it means INFINITE ARMS!

I really like the splash page. And yes, almost just because it has Ulqui~ and Grimmy~

Wow he really put himself in there.

Ah, yes, that guy. Kubo I almost said Tsukishima has a thing for forgetting characters and then bringing them back, doesn't he?

So his power is to slot himself into people's pasts.

So Tsukishima underestimated Ginjou? Something tells me that'll be important... Maybe Ichigo has become more powerful than Tsukishima expected.

TROLLKISHIMA used TAUNT!
ICHIGO fell for the TAUNT!
ICHIGO ATTACKS!
ORIHIME used PROTECT!
ICHIGO'S attack was blocked!
CHAD uses BRAZO IZQUIERDA DEL DIABLO!
IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
ICHIGO used ROAR!

-Jared- July 12th, 2011 3:09 PM

Spoiler:
Splash page: Is Yamamato singing or something? If it was karaoke, I would so pay to see that. XD

So where does that put Ichigo in there memories? Do they remember him as just some kid who had Shinigami powers, as an actual Shinigami, or what? I guess it's not that important, but I just wanna know. XD

Even I forgot about Sushigawara...XD

And if Isshin and Urahara burst in and do something, you should change the end to ICHIGO USED BATON PASS! XD

Spoiler:
Yeah, he was. XD I lol'd at Ukitake's expression. And Soi Fon with Yoruichi under the table are sorta cute XD

It's SHISHIGAWARA! XD Old scene, old scene

The splash page misses something, and I'm not happy :<

I just can't wait for the manga to start on the other arc already, this short one is kind of boring now. It's not even like Bleach anymore. No shihakusho, no shikai release phrase, no Kido. Meh. At least Chad and Inoue got some screentime in this arc.

Maybe Ishida will come next...? idk.

RASENCERO July 13th, 2011 6:57 AM

That arm slideshow is epic. XD I thought there were more though. Oh well, good excuse to cut off more limbs.

Manga:
Spoiler:
Lets see how Ichigo's gonna get out of this one. We were not very off with our theories and yet we were wrong. XD We still don't what Ginjou's ability is, or Ichigo's. Besides looking like a mecha pilot.
Seriously, where is Ishida, what are Isshin and Urahara doing, who is that mysterious shinigami, will Shishigawara reveal himself to be a good guy who had only sided with Tsukishima so he wouldn't get altered?

No Unohana/Riruka on the splashpage. I think that kebab is being held by Renji.


Anime:
Spoiler:
Nozomi got a zanpakuto. To protect Kon. Even thought he is a mod soul himself. Kon really doesn't have all that much power, does he. Poor Kon. :P


Who do you think are the top 10 strongest characters?
Including all powers:
1. Aizen
2. Ichigo
3. Yamamoto
4. Urahara
5. Barragan
6. Unohana
7. Kyoraku
8. Isshin
9. Yoruichi
10. Starrk

You know, we could do a similar topic for the top 10 of clubmembers.

Spoiler:
That would sound like Gin, only with a different motive. Heck, if it does happen, then Kubo has no originality. It'd only be a repetition of the last arc, only this time with Fullbring instead of Zangetsu and Tsukishima instead of Aizen and memory alteration instead of hallucination.

I know right. :< Kubo damn forgets Unohana. GAAAAHHHHH *throws an Ace card at Kubo*


Oh I would SO be at the top 8D I would, but I don't very well remember the zanpakto of the members here. :P so you do that. NAO

Spoiler:
Holy... Now that you mention it, does anyone think it's possible for Kon to get a zanpakto if he wants to protect someone so much, while in Ichigo's body? XD Though yeah, Mod Souls getting zanpakto aren't canon.

Who was the best villain in Bleach?

I don't think we had this topic...or if we did, we have new villains to consider now, so it still works.

I starting to like Kon more now...:/
The fact the filler has lots of screen time from him, actually made that happen.
Poor plushie, too bad he can't get a power up...

Spoiler:
From what I know, Ichigo still does everything, but Tsukishima has just been there from the very beginning, helping everything. Like killing hollows, rescuing Rukia and Orihime, being Arrancar, and Aizen, etc. Ichigo still did the main things, but Tsukishima helped.

Would this be influenced by rank? So Zam immediately gets top place, the next X Captains, then the Lieuts?

Who was the best villain in Bleach?

Are we only including the big villains, like Aizen and Tsukishima? Or are we including Espada, etc.

Weeaboo Name July 18th, 2011 7:39 AM

Best villain was obviously Muramasa or Hollow Ichigo (if you see him as a bad guy).

Ah okay, I thought maybe he pushed Ichigo out of his role and assumed Ichigo's role as his own.


Who was the best villain in Bleach?

Well, so far, since the current arc isn't over, I am gonna refrain from saying Tsukishima. I guess I would go with Aizen, since he was the big bad and was such a Magnificent Bastard.

It would be unfair, but unfortunately it would. Or maybe we can just rank, idk, according to zanpakto only?

Eeh, Aizen is just too perfect to be a good villain. =\ Though yeah, how in the world he managed to change his hairstyle with one stroke is unimaginable. (It was windy that day... right? It should either mess up badly and cover his eyes or return back to its old style.) Unless he's bald, and Kyoukasuigetsu makes people see him with his hair?

In which case, that's ranking Zans, not members. A member includes things like their physical strength, use of Kidou, etc.

I think his hands were just incredibly greasy that day.

Weeaboo Name July 20th, 2011 9:55 AM

It seems to be going into the final stages, i'd watch it though as it's far better than the real arc that comes after it.

And, ok Captain smile!, squad 13 it is.

I love that arm collection. (Does Kubo have an arm fetish or something...? XD)

Anyway...

MANGA TIME
Spoiler:
OKAY. So Ichigo uses Getsuga Tenshou, and then...

Ginjou gets cut by Tsukishima. WHAT THE F*CK MAN.

I'm sorta hoping we find out more about Isshin and Urahara and that mystery shinigami.


In other news, I'm watching the Karakurizer episode on TV right now (I recorded it on my DVR) and they showed Afro Dude. Yeah I did just want to say that. =P

BTW I'm still pissed that the dub cuts the end theme. I LOVE Sky Chord (the ending song for the current dub episodes) so I hate how they cut it off. D=

That is so you. Of course. XD

So far, we got 15 episodes. Idk whether it's ending soon or not, because fillers have more than 20 episodes, no? I forgot about the Amagai arc, but I think the Bount and Zanpakto arc were both more than 25.

I added you to the Squad Page as... 3rd seat. You didn't specify which seat. :P If you want to change, just inform me. =D

Ohyeahmanga
Spoiler:
Mangareader got the color page of Tsukishima's hand being cut off =D

Yukio wasn't in the fight against Ginjou.... That could mean he actually wasn't brainwashed by Tsukishima, or had his memories saved in his console, maybe, and come to the rescue later? *hopes*

Ginjou is cut, so it's, what, 5 Xcution members now, plus that Sushi kid, Inoue, Chad and Tsukishima against... Ichigo. And Ishida, later on, maybe. If Aizen was annoying because of his overpowered-ness, Tsukishima is annoying because of what Ichigo said. Hiding behind others and getting people to do his dirty work. >.>

Dammit we still have no idea why he wants to kill Ichigo so much. Except. He was targeting Isshin? Because from the last few panels, he was trying to cut Ichigo as well. Unless, yeah, we don't know the last cut was to kill or to insert himself inside Ichigo's past.


Andumanime
Spoiler:
Nozomi got a zanpakto. I'm hoping she has more abilities than simply firing off energy blasts, though. We'll see. It SHOULD be more, seeing how she said she has the powers to defeat/(nullify?) Kageroza's powers.

Funny how they depend on Ichigo to really put some stress on Nozomi, having to go bankai even though they know Ichigo's powers are weakening. It's not like Renji is incapable of bankai. Even Rukia was fighting without shikai. >.>

Meh, either way, Nozomi is going to die anyway.

Huh, I hadn't thought of the possibilty of this whole thing being to target Isshin. But somehow, I don't think that is the case. Why would Tsukishima be targeting Isshin for anything? I guess it could be revealed later, but...Idk. :\

So Ginjo is now Tsukishima-fied, eh? Damn. I guess now Uryu, Isshin and Urahara better show up soon, or Ichigo won't be able to hold them all off.

Who says Nozomi has to die? She is a mod soul after all, and there is that mane-less lion thing, which could easily be a lioness. XD Besides, didn't they keep Ririn, Nova, and...what-his-name, those mod souls from the Bount Arc around? Obviously not for canon episodes, just filler episodes, but still.

So Ginjo is now Tsukishima-fied, eh? Damn. I guess now Uryu, Isshin and Urahara better show up soon, or Ichigo won't be able to hold them all off.

Spoiler:
idk. XD Just a random thought. Didn't Ginjou use the same technique while he was going to attract Ichigo into XCution? By mentioning something about his father and/or Urahara (I forgot which one). Somehow, I think Isshin and Urahara would know Tsukishima. idk. Just a really random thought. XD

Yep, Uryuu is on the way.

Manga 457
Spoiler:
Ginjou fighting against four other Fullbringers at once was cool.
I hope it'll look better in the anime.
Giriko made numbers come out of his pocket watch Fullbring...
I bet ILP got the chills when he saw that.

So Sushigawara's Fullbring increases the probability of something to happen?
Does he get to choose what is effected, or is it more random?
Quite and interesting and potentially dangerous ability.
I wonder if things could be more likely to work against him.

Of course, Ichigo can use Getsuga Tensho...
Well, at least it appears to be the blue version. :)
The process to his Soul Reaper powers seems inconsistent. >.>

Ohmygod, Trollkishima slashed Ginjou! You b*****d!

OKAY. So Ichigo uses Getsuga Tenshou, and then...

Ginjou gets cut by Tsukishima. WHAT THE F*CK MAN.

I'm sorta hoping we find out more about Isshin and Urahara and that mystery shinigami.

Oh totally.... >.>

Spoiler:
Kind of cool, though. Sort of...

Btw, Zam, you should put that arm collection thing on the first page. I saw you guys included legs and stuff, so you could also add Hiyori. Both parts of her. I think you know what I mean. XD

Spoiler:
The fullbring fight could have lasted longer, but now Ginjou has been turned, or so it appears, it might be a while for an another good one. Ishida is on his way and I think he might convince Ichigo to fall back or something. Seriously, what are Urahara and Isshin doing? I would not be surprised if they would be involved somehow.

Getsuga Tensho! Where did that come from? His fullbring powers are his shinigami powers?

I don't want the filler arc to finish. ;___;

New manga chapter was actually ok this week.

Pokestick, good times. July 27th, 2011 11:22 AM

Episode 332

Spoiler:
- Nozomi is OP. Really OP. Though I still don't understand why she's a shinigami all of a sudden.

- She absorbs ALL kinds of reiatsu? Starting to sound more like a Quincy, or a bount.

- And she made that huge reiatsu explosion wipe out (almost) all surrounding foes, yet leave the good guys unscratched? Now that's impressing, if anything. :O

Anyway, I liked this epiosde. It had really decent animation, and was filled with a good variety of fighting.
And more of the old Bleach in the ending. ;; I miss it.

Also, judging from Ichigo getting weaker, the end credits, and the filler having gone for about the six months they said it would, it looks like it's gonna end soon. I'd say around five more episodes. That's awesome :3

-Jared- July 27th, 2011 8:00 PM

Manga:
Spoiler:
Shouldn't Ishida be a little more direct? I mean, mind screws aplenty here, and here he goes being all mysterious. Granted, he may not know a lot about what is going on, but still. :\

So Ginjou was double slashed? Sounds like a Death note type thing going on. So, were all of Xcution double slashed, or just Ginjou? Gah, so confusing.

And is it just me, or did only three things happen in this chapter? Ginjou got slashed, Ishida showed up, Ginjou reveals his treachery. Chapter done. >__>


Anime:
Spoiler:
So THAT is the extent of Nozomi's shikai. And I laughed, seriously, when Ishida reveals his plan, because it sounds so video game-like in nature. Like, some sort of combo set-up in an RPG. XD

Well, she did say something along the lines of "I can control my powers now." Maybe part of her shikai is No friendly fire? Kinda like an Illusionist in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.

AND OLD MAN YAMA SHOWS UP. w00t.

Pokestick, good times. July 28th, 2011 1:32 AM

Spoiler:
...Actually, he was slashed in the last chapter... >_> xD

I've gotta say though, a lot of things happened in this one, if to go by Bleach standards. Usually we just see a bunch of random flashes and conversation that symbolize a fight throughout the entire chapter. :P

And the Ginjo thing is quite confusing, since we don't know when he was slashed first, how much the others of Xcution knows, etc.
Hopefully we'll learn something useful about it next week.

I like Pokemon (...) July 28th, 2011 4:11 AM

Spoiler:

So Ginjou gets cut, and it takes some time for Tsukishima's ability to take effect.

Ah, so Ishida is on Ichigo's side, because GINJOU cut him, not Tsukishima.

I'm going to read that chapter again:
http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/429/18
and
http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/429/19
We don't see his face, but his clothes show that it's Tsukishima.

Okay, so Tsukishima and Ginjou were on the same side. Then Tsukishima cut Ginjou so that Tsukishima is seen as the enemy (probably to all of XCution). He then cut him again, and took himself out/restored what it actually was.

I don't quite see how this turns Ichigo from enemy to ally, unless it's something that Tsukishima said.

Now we just need to know why Ginjou hates Ichigo. Probably goes back to Isshin, somehow.

It's all very confusing, and I don't think even Kubo himself understand it all properly. Something tells me someone will come and explain everything clearly.

Pokestick, good times. July 28th, 2011 4:17 AM

Spoiler:
When put like that, it quite seems like Kubo is making it up as he goes along.
That really doesn't look like it could be anyone but Tsukishima. Though, I guess Ginjou could've been there too, performing the cutting part somehow.

It's gonna be great if we're soon finally get to know what Urahara and Isshin have been up to all that time. Hopefully it'll play a big part in explaining/defeating Ginjou or Tsukishima or whoever the bad guy is.

Well, we don't know for sure, he just could have been waiting for the right time.

Agreed, but as seen on page 17, there is blood unlike before when Tsukishima cuts him. So he can also slice and dice normally.

I'm going to read that chapter again:
http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/429/18
and
http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/429/19
We don't see his face, but his clothes show that it's Tsukishima.
Agreed, he might have just been a diversion to give Ginjou an opening. The question is why? Why not just turn Ishida?

Okay, so Tsukishima and Ginjou were on the same side. Then Tsukishima cut Ginjou so that Tsukishima is seen as the enemy (probably to all of XCution). He then cut him again, and took himself out/restored what it actually was.

Who's ally?

Now we just need to know why Ginjou hates Ichigo. Probably goes back to Isshin, somehow.
And probably also related with Ginjo's Shinigami's Badge.

It's all very confusing, and I don't think even Kubo himself understand it all properly. Something tells me someone will come and explain everything clearly.
Agreed, I'm betting on Isshin/Urahara or that mysterious shinigami.

Most of our theories seemed to be not all that far off, even those which seemed far fetched. XD

Well, I can acknowledge that she's at least a bit overpowered, since she can absorb others' Spiritual Power (I see it as reiryoku, not reiatsu) from contact with their sword too.

Quincy can also absorb Spirit Particles (reishi) and convert then into Spiritual Power/Energy.

Reiryoku is the spiritual power. Reiatsu is the spiritual force.

I'm too lazy to paraphrase, so I'll just plagiarize quote Bleach wiki:

The difference is much like energy and power. Power being the amount of energy exerted per unit of time. Reiryoku is potential while Reiatsu is energy in use.

In general, those with high levels of Reiryoku will often have the highest levels of Reiatsu also. A skilled warrior can overcome a person possessing greater Spirit Energy by possessing greater Spiritual Pressure.

Hope that helped. XD

Heavy because it's a force. Technically, "He has a lot of reiatsu" is wrong, it should be "He has a lot of reiryoku". But meh, moot point. XD

IKR, well he needed a vice captain, i mean he's still ill and stuff.

It seems so, I'm guessing he needed to get some of his reatsu back so the sword stab no jitsu would work again. I'm also thinking Isshin and Urahara's suspicious stuff was just keeping an eye on Ichigo's progress.

Also, Rukia's new appearance, random arm glove things and a haircut, pretty cool

I like Pokemon (...) August 3rd, 2011 7:18 AM

Spoiler:
I really think that this chapter is going to help pick up the manga from its recent slump.

The title of the chapter is "Death & Strawberry 2". That sounds like a good omen.

And so explains the attack.

Ah, so that's how the whole "betrayal" thing went. So it doesn't matter how Tsukishima was going to put himself in Ichigo's memories, Ginjou's second cut would only put everything back to normal.

Ahaha, I love that "You're just horrible at acting, that's why we did it." "My acting just there was top-notch!"

Why did Ichigo lose his Fullbring powers when Ginjou cut him? Did I forget a bit of explanation?

Woah. I wonder what Ichigo's breaking down scene will be like in the anime.

STABBED IN THE CHEST!!

And they're finally here! Isshin and Urahara, woo!

Iiiiit's Rukia! Looks like she's got a bit of an outfit change; shorter hair, the 13th Squad Lieutenant band, and what looks like her brother's.. glove thingy. So she was the mysterious shinigami. I hope some of the rest of the shinigami also got make-overs.

Aaaand he stole her powers again. Wait, isn't that still illegal?

Ichigo also has an outfit change, it seems. Zangetsu looks slightly different (makes me wonder what happened to him and HIchigo), and the... thingies on his wrists and across his chest and neck. Does he have those on his Fullbring outfit?

Can't wait for the next few chapters now.

That's what I was wondering. It doesn't make any sense. Maybe Kubo will explain it later. Maybe, as in, hopefully. XD

Maybe it won't be stealing her powers, as this sword looks very different than a normal zanpakuto. Maybe with this one, it just reawakens the powers? Idk.

So. Ichigo lost his Fullbring. That's good, I guess. I mean like, if he got back his shinigami powers, then he'd be in every single spiritual group there is.

Okay. I believe it hadn't been addressed in this chapter either. Why did they do all those sorts of things to Ichigo, and what did Ginjou do? Take back Ichigo's Fullbring? What for? Sheesh.

Rukia 8D Man I missed her. XD Death and Strawberry 2, should have seen that coming. With a Lieutenant's armband. 8D Ohboy we're seeing Soul Society once again. :3

... Though, whose zanpakto was that? Wasn't Rukia's, right?

Aaaaand Zangetsu has a new look. Is it because of the FGT? Gah. Who knows. Kubo just wants to try a new design. I guess. XD Meh, let's hope Ichigo learns to seal his shikai this time around. I'd like to know what his release command would be.

I remember at the beginning of this mysterious shinigami case. What were they arguing about, anyway? Could it be that, the zanpakto was Isshin's, and he chose to give his powers to Ichigo, like Rukia did at the very beginning of the series? Though, he would regain back his powers, like Rukia did.

Ahh. Good job, I guess. XD This is the first chapter since a long time that made me impatient for the next one :p


Anime
Spoiler:
Okay.. Unohana didn't do much in the episode. :< But at least we got to see her. ^______^

And the flames on Ryuujinjakka looked more realistic in this episode. I mean, the last time we saw them in the Soul Society fight, they're just like... wrapped onto the zanpakto. XD This is the real deal :3

The people in Karakura Town are really... weird. First there's this huge purple explosion on the hill, then there was that fire. [/fails at logic]

So Kageroza copied Nozomi's ability then absorbed the attack. Cheap is cheap

Meh, at Yamamoto? Of course Nozomi will absorb it. XD

See? Told ya.

Looks like this arc is ending in two or three more episodes. Hmm.

XD Plainly, it sucks to be Omaeda. Just that. Though Ikkaku isn't there either.

Spoiler:
**** YEAH, RUKIA!

One Piece may have had the epic chapter last week, but that title goes to Bleach this week!!

I've been saying for a while that Rukia should be lieutenant, and now I got my wish! xD

I'll be a bit giddy over this chapter for a few days. :D

If Rukia became lieutenant of Squad 13, then there has to be other changes too.
Hopefully some new captains are in order. And maybe Omaeda quit! *.*

And after this, it looks like Xcution is pretty much nothing anymore.

Rukia didn't cut her hair for over a hundred years, but she does during these seventeen months? o3o
Who's that new vice-captain? She looks... cute.

Anyway, yay for revamped Soul Society that we're about to see!

Maybe it won't be stealing her powers, as this sword looks very different than a normal zanpakuto. Maybe with this one, it just reawakens the powers? Idk.

Spoiler:
Which reminds me, the motive should be explained, with Isshin and Urahara in, now.

Yeah, I just realised that Rukia's zanpakutou was actually by her hip, and that she was holding something else XD

Spoiler:

Immediate response, copypasta from my FB status

HOLY F*CK. YESSSSS. BLEACH 459. FINALLLLLYYYY. God, I SWEAR I did NOT see that coming. I mean, I *did* but not... Not like THAT. For now at LEAST, my faith is restored in this series. F*CK. YES. PS I love that title. XD

and more copypasta from sppf:

I'm also glad I read this AFTER I read the new Naruto chapter... Just because this was just so epic that I probably would have forgotten to read Naruto if I hadn't already. XD I mean, Bakuman doesn't come out until later in the week usually, and those 3 are the only weekly manga i read. So yeahhh~

I'm gonna have to pick up the next few volumes of this in the store when they're out in Japanese. I NEED TO OWN THIS CHAPTER. (I could have bought the magazine but I don't feel like it... I prefer to wait for the volumes in Japanese.) I have the first one of this arc, but I've yet to get anymore from this part of the series.

Anyway I guess that was the short arc Kubo mentioned...? I sure hope we have a nice chunk of series left, and we won't be stuck with half-finished battles like the one with Yammy or whatever... LOL Well anyway... THIS WAS AWESOME AND MY CONFIDENCE IN BLEACH HAS RETURNED. I'll be back to write more. (I also have to watch this week's episode, it probably can't top this LOL... But I'll be watching it when I can anyway. Probably tonight.

...So yeah I'll be back. I'm gonna take notes this time and give a full analysis. I'm usually too lazy but I actually enjoy it. ^o^

Also, it's a sad scene. Did anyone notice the rain? Ooooooh.

XD And who'll be the Central 46 this time, since Aizen is imprisoned somewhere deep down? XD

Though I think, (random theory) it's not her powers, it's Isshin's. Because first, her zanpakto is on her side, so it can't be her powers. Next, remember at the beginning of the whole 'mysterious shinigami' event, Urahara said something like "Are you sure you want to do this?". I think Isshin wanted to transfer his shinigami powers to Ichigo. idk. XD

Buuut the original Central 46 weren't the actual Central 46. We need to have another villain to be Central 46 now. XD

I guess that works. Though then we'd have to rely on the subtitles, which might not be so clear. Eh. :P

THE ENDING IS EPIC WIN. Actually, what makes it epic win is largely due to the clips chosen, and the way they went about it. A full series recap, it seems...!! EPIC. And the song's not half bad either. XD I've been going crazy over how they did this (in a GOOD way) for like... forever. Since it started.

How about this:

For those who watch the anime, do you watch the opening and ending of every episode?
I was just thinking about this, because I looked back through the thread and noticed some discussions about openings and endings. I only watch the opening and ending the first time they use them, unless I REALLY like it. XD Otherwise, I skip to the actual show because otherwise, I can't wait. :3

Mhm hmm. I only watch it if I like the opening/ending song. XD Like the last ending we had, I didn't skip because I like Aoi Tori. :3 Contrary to the opening, though the scenes are nice, I only watch it the first time because I don't like the song much. Eh. XD

The latest ending has different versions, though. So if I'm not too lazy I'd watch it. XD Else I'll skip.

minchan August 7th, 2011 4:37 PM

Topic, in spoilers because I talk about the plot:
Spoiler:

I absolutely LOVE this newest ending. BTW I never skip the openings or endings. I actually like 99% of the songs, and there isn't one I absolutely hate. Back to the current ending, I certainly would not skip it, part of the charm of it is that it's a full series recap. Considering this is the arc where Ichigo is supposed to lose his powers, it's really perfect timing to put in a recap here. Also because we'll be thrown ahead 17 months after this arc. I'm also a big J-pop fan, and I also enjoy J-rock... Needless to say I do enjoy the music. So I won't skip it.


Seriously though, WHAT DOES THAT BOAT MEAN? *still doesn't get it*

RASENCERO August 7th, 2011 4:38 PM

Seriously, I have got to stop reading manga so late! Two pages of comments! :P
Then again most things have been said, so I can comment on the big stuff.

Spoiler:
The sword trough Ichigo's chest reminded me of the time Ishida got his powers back. I don't think he got powers transferred, but simply reawakened. New designs are even more badass. Thing are definitly picking up. Has Ginjou the ability to absorb powers? like Nozomi? I sense a fight coming up and Ichigo most likely got a power up so that will be good. Since he isn't in his real body anymore, he can take more damage so the fights will last longer.

I am not really sure if I should explain it to you guys... Well, I couldn't explain detailed if I wanted to; I might get banned. I'll descripe it.
The boat pic shows "motor boating". The last panel with Ichigo and Rukia also shows what is called "motor boating". Go ask your parents and report back what happend. Please. XD Google it if you are around 16 or older. Don't do it when people are around you. You are warned! (If you stay away from pics you should be fine though)

Do you watch the opening and ending of every episode?
If I like it; Always! Otherwise, at least the first time and the occasionally when I make a sandwich while the Op plays.

Oh okay, it's one of those fancy terms that I don't know because I live under a rock.

Actually I live in a cave I call my bedroom. AND I NEVER LEAVE. Except to use the bathroom, and occasionally to get food, though mostly I have my maid and butler PARENTS get me my food. Yes I'm horribly lazy. XD

I should google that, but like I said, I'm lazy. I'll google it eventually... XD

Weeaboo Name August 8th, 2011 3:32 AM

The theory is that Rukia is transferring Isshin's powers to Ichigo, since before the whole mysterious shinigami thing started there's this conversation between Urahara and Isshin. "Are you really sure you want to do this?" Or something like that. XD


I think ILPy did get it, cause he said he's pretty sure Ichigo is just glomping her and not......... that. After all, it's ILP. icklelittlepervert

Spoiler:
The thing is, that does NOT look like a normal zanpakutou. It is all ethereal and wispy and what not. So it may not be the same exact thing as Rukia did before. We won't know for what looks to be another week, however. :\


ANIME (If you aren't caught up with the current arc, you may want to refrain from opening this particular spoiler. XD)
Spoiler:
So Nozomi does have a limit on her absorption powers. I figured as much, but now it is confirmed.

So what, did she absorb enough of it to make it so Yamamato could take care of the rest?

Not without heavy damage it seems. :\

KON used ROCK THROW!
It's not very effective...
KAGEROZA used STOMP!
KON's accuracy was lowered!

(Alternate thought: When Kon was looking for his eyes after the stomp, [I believe that's what he was doing] I couldn't help but think "Jinkies! I lost my glasses!" XD)

Alright, does anybody here know what the name of the theme playing when Kageroza has just finished his first stomp on Kon, and is telling Nozomi to come with him? I really like it, but don't know how to find it. >__<

And it's official? Ichigo is now powerless it seems. http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u180/Pikapal642/emot-ohdear.png It's gotta end soon, now.

Yamamoto seems to claim that he could've handled that attack himself, but maybe that's just his old man-tsundere speaking :D
(seriously, after watching this I can't not view him as a tsundere)

Lots of emotion, and (relatively) well-made animation. They were really trying, and it shows. I liked this episode.

I mean, I still don't get crap about Kagerozas plan, about how he and Nozomi were created, or the logic of anything at all, but hey, it's Bleach. And for a Bleach filler arc, I'm liking this episode.

And that ending is still giving me nostalgia kicks ;;

And the Urahara part at the end actually explains things. Now there's more logic than usual in this episode all of a sudden.

So when will we learn what is up with that guy or whatever Kageroza talks to in the prison cell? When we learn what his whole plans are? Idk. :\

Kind of. It's damn funny. XD But it explains why Tessai and Urahara weren't helping the shinigami out.

.... All along the entire fight/Nozomi chase, I kept wondering.
WHERE THE HELL IS UNOHANA? >________> I mean like, fine, the other shinigami are injured, but Chad and Ishida brought them to Inoue instead. So it's not like she's healing them or something. Or maybe Kageroza told his three Reigai to keep her busy or something, but at least show a scene. Or heck, a shinigami's cup. <__<

Anyways. Looks like the filler is ending soon?

Pokestick, good times. August 13th, 2011 1:48 AM

Spoiler:
Well yeah. Considering that the ending recap doesn't include fillers and just passed the first part of the Arrancar arc, I don't think there's going to be more than three more episodes. And from the looks of it, Ichigo already lost his powers.

Probably one final battle type of episode, then a happy ending(?) episode, and... just fill the rest with boring one episode fillers.

Spoiler:
Hey, how many episodes do you think the Fullbring arc will make? I don't really know, but I figured someone else here might be able to make an accurate guess.

Well, the second squad's captain isn't around so often... So SOMEONE has to be the ninja 8D

This will actually be quite fun to work out.

Alright, well the turn back the pendulum arc lasted 12 chapters (-97 to -108, both inclusive), which became 7 episodes.

The whole Deicide thing (from Deicide 1 to the end of the Aizen mega-arc) was 25 chapters, which became episodes: 297, 301, 302, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310 (there were a lot of filler episodes between them...), or 8 episodes in total.

...Yeah, I don't think this is going to work XD.

It all depends on how much they squeeze the arc, and the amount of filler inbetween them. The entire XCution arc was only 36 chapters (up until now). I think they can easily turn that into 10-12 episodes. But they might deicide decide to develop more on Ichigo's fullbring powers (because they might go about it slightly differently to Kubo).



I think someone else should also answer this as well >.>

Pokestick, good times. August 15th, 2011 4:56 AM

Spoiler:
I think they're going to stretch this further than twelve episodes.

Because this is pretty much the perfect place for them to add fillers. Sorry, but I really can't view them in any other light xD;

Really now, not only could they make up interaction and events before the arc itself starts, but they could very well add more "character development" with the Xcution members (I can definitely see Orihime and Riruka in an episode), similar to the mini fillers with Hitsugaya and the others in Arrancar arc. I think arcs like Turn back the pendulum and Deicide were a little too serious for them to add fillers in, but bear in mind they spammed filler right after.

So with that in mind, plus them stretching out battles like they usually do, I think we're looking at at least seventeen episodes.

But I might be really, really wrong :P


EDIT:
Episode 335 (and a couple of thoughts on the manga)
Spoiler:
Awesome animation for Bleach. Shows what they're capable of hen they're trying.

So Ichigo did lose his powers. Looks to me like he'll go get some fancy upgrade and get them back again before this arc ends, though :/

Tsundere Rukia. I swear, I thought she was about to blush there O_O

They're all talking about how Mr. Crazy Scientist-Woman Slapper couldn't copy Ichigo because of his Hollow.
Apparently his inner hollow isn't gone yet in this arc. Confusing.

...Wait, Rukia can still talk to him because she's a reigai. So why couldn't she just put on a Reigai in the manga instead of remaining invisible to him until the got his powers back? That would probably help him a lot ._.
Silly Kubo, wanting everything to be mysterious till the very end.

Anyway, back to the anime.

"So you were attacked by the cleaner twice. I see, I see. Then we can have your powers return, Ichigo."
AH COME ON.

YAY, URAHARA PRETENDING THAT THERE IS LOGIC BEHIND HIS STATEMENTS 8D

"Remember how we can't feel any spiritual pressure from Kageroza and Nozmi?"
They can't? How did I miss that? o3o

So Just-human-Ichigo can still have his soul pushed out of his body, being spiritually aware?
Another thing that could've been handy in the manga.

Now that I think about it. Where did Kon go during the Xcution thingy? He would also have come in handy, as another way to push Ichigo out of his body. :U

Whoa. The cleaner scene is actually pretty intense. I'm liking.
OH NO. SHADOW-LESS ICHIGO IS BEING ATTACKED BY COMPUTER ANIMATION.

I love the way his hair is animated in this, btw.

Present Ichigo saved the past Ichigo.
I see what they're trying to do, but it doesn't work for me.

KON YOU SO MOE.

THE END. TIME FOR AWESOME END CREDITS.
Not only is the music good, and it's one of the few flashbacks in Bleach that aren't annoying, but it's really well cut. They've made the plot work with the music.

DON'T TELL ME THE ENTIRE PLOT SO FAR WAS MADE JUST TO FIT THE MUSIC OF THIS ENDING.

Renji-Rukia and Rukia-Renji xD
Still not getting how they keep their voices, but that's hilarious.
Kind of interesting too... *teenage perverted daydream sequence initiated*

Has a new manga chapter really not come out in 2 weeks? Or have the scanlators I've been reading from just been busy with other stuff?
