Bleach 488 Discussion/489 Predictions

[kiduka]

There are two question lingering in my mind.

1) Do these guys Block/Seal Bankai, OR do they STEAL the Bankai and add it to their own strength. As you all saw, The Fuhrer (Vandanbleep leader guy) isn't using quincy techniques to fight, he just snaps his finger and blow your arm off. Now, not knowing anything about his/their true power should give anyone reason to pause.

2) Is Ichigo still at the power levels he reached at the end of the Aizen War? We have no proof that he can even still pull out Ogihci SSJ5 transformation Level of power, much less the FGT levels of power.

It doesn't seem that SS have gotten wind of Ichigo's intel, If they had, they would know about the Hollow Connections with these Vandanbleeps, and that would of course lead them to Hueco Mundo.

Knowing Urahara he probably tagged along to gather intel, Ichigo and his group is enough for a rescue mission. I bet once they know where the enemy is located he'll alert SS.

hate to say it but i was wrong and whoever i was troubling a couple weeks ago I'm sorry and you where right... problems with the translations i guess "they can seal bankai" "they have bankai" that line made me believe it was impossible for them to be quincy but seeing as they don't have bankai gives me reason to believe

once again sorry to who ever i was giving a tough time

No problem man. ^_^

I really hope we get to finally see the full limits of Yamamoto's power. Every time he's fought, there's been something restricting it or his fight gets stopped/interrupted, I'd like to see the power that makes him Head Captain. I'm not surprised that guy was able to beat the Tres Bestias, I mean, he wouldn't have been put in charge of "recruitment" if he wasn't strong enough to handle Arrancars. The Vandenreich have quality, but not quantity, meaning they've got really strong troops, but not a lot of them. Soul Society, on the other hand, is a large organization with a balance of quality and quantity. So the Vandenreich needs a certain amount of cannon fodder to force Soul Society to spread its troops out, and if they can get stronger cannon fodder, the better. They can also provide tools to help boost their cannon fodder, like what the arrancar that attack Ichigo tried to use.

I've highlighted all the potential problems with your theory :-P

I'm sad to see that the majority of this arc will likely take place in Hueco Mundo. I feel like we've spent a LOT of time here in the manga already. Wouldn't at all mind a new setting...

You know, despite the fact you say that, Hueco Mundo is the least shown of the three major worlds of Bleach, though it is also the blandest of the three.

Not sure what the potential problem is, since they're already said they're using arrancar like cannon fodder.

[Daemon Spade]

Damn, Kubo's bring out all the past cannon fodder characters just to kill them off again. Who's next afro-san? Maybe Rurika. Or how about wonderweiss (did he die forreal? I cant remember).

Anybody want to take a guess at how long it'll be before Ishida loses an arm? I'll give you $5 if your right!

What if its the vandenblah's plan to force SS to release Aizen and then steal the H-Cube....dun dun dunnnnnnn

Captain Vandenazi is pretty badass so far, but lets remember that dead arrancar quincy guy seemed pretty confident too.

[SquadZero]

Ichigo should have a much tougher battle this time than he did with the psuedo-quincy arrancar guy. I'm guessing Natzi-Captain is some sort of uber-quincy for real, not some cannon fodder redshirt... should be a good time to see exactly how strong Ichigo is now.

[Zero]

At this point, defeating the enemy and saving the Arrancars might not be enough, let's hope Ichigo uses his hollow side and shows everyone who is the new boss here.
