Bleach 495 Discussion / 496 Predictions

[Zero]

Is there really a point in cannon fodder shingami to go out and fight guys this powerful.

- In any case the pacing is a bit better than normal but it was a so so chapter for me.

There would be, if Quincy were targeting normal souls, but they are not, so it's actually leaving people (Nameless/Fodder Shinigami) to die.

IIRC, according to Kubo's spoilers (forgot how it was called ), Renji achieved a second form of his bankai, Yumichika has finally obtained his and Toushiro has fully mastered/completed his.

Lol even yumi? this makes 11th squad the potentially the strongest lineup in gotei13... kenpachi has his new eyepatch seal reiatsu by 20x more than before according to the new novel and he has gone so strong after the battle with nnoitra, yammy and after cien and Azashiro Kenpachi in the novel... ikkaku might have improved and yumi has bankai if confirmed later... maybe even yachiru will be revealed to be stronger than what she looks and that her seat is not just because of her attachment to kenpachi.

Spoiler!

Did anyone here read the spoiler for the novel "Missing link/Spirits are forever with you".... here is the forum in bleachasylum discussing some parts that are partly translated though you have to read a lot of pages....i just read page 50-60... i can already see the picture.. http://bleachasylum.com/threads/1890...=1#post3028918

If anyone is interested its about the missing 17 months between arrancar arc and fullbring arc.... most interesting part is about kenpachi....were he battled the 8th kenpachi who was probably one of the strongest shinigami( it took the royal guard to imprison him, can see through kyoka suigetsu in 2 days, can do a copy of 100 iittokaso and some hax ability) yet kenpachi owned him lol.... and there was a translation here that kenpachi has further improve after his battle with nnoitra and yammy... to the point that his eyepatch is now seals 20x more reiatsu than his previous eyepatch...20 times!!! lols, and his kendo has also improve to the point that it can kill anyone now with one hit i believe... accordingly some japanese bloggers even compares it to ichigo's mugetsu......

There things elaborated about the kenpachi's here... 250 years ago the 7th kenpachi who was invited by the royal guard to joined them but declined, he was a good friend to kyoraku... his bankai is also hax... he was defeated by the 8th kenpachi in front of kyoraku..., then after his escape from prison(by the royal guard) he was defeated by the strongest kenpachi to date<--- the current one....

There are also bits and pieces about the privaron espada connected to syazel or his copy(backup person that syazel created)--> shien here who also fought kenpachi.... i think ishida also fought kenpachi...also there are also things about don kanoji, keigo and more i think... i wish they'd do an OVA for this.... i'm a big fan of kenpachi.... if indeed the translations are true... then i feel sorry for who ever quincy faces the current kenpachi hehe

Dude, keep spoilers out of here....

FFS, stop with the god damn spoiling.

[kuroihikari]

I wonder which will win out, Yumichika's ability or the Quincy's reishi absorbing ability.

[bigmarkg2]

Like this chapter. The weapon here is so awesome in bleach.

I forgot about his Shikai,

Well we don't know the full extent of Yumichika's ability but in theory the Quincy's ability would win since it can absorb everything made of reishi, we've only seen Yumichika absorb reishi directly from individuals but who knows maybe it can do more especially now since I hear his achieved Bankai.

Yeah, but since they can seal bankais... it's hard to imagine SS winning it, especially when Quincy's armor can only be penetrated by bankai level power.

Doesn't this contradict what you said about Shinigami winning with raw power? ...Besides Ichigo demonstrated if you can overpower that Bankai sealing spell you can break it. On top of that, from the Opie fight it seems if you have enough power you can crush their reishi sucking ability or their supercharged reishi attacks.

Ichigo is using bankai against one of the Star Riders (otherwise he wouldn't be able to do enough damage), because his bankai can't be sealed for reasons not yet revealed, but that was within their expectations and at the same time, that's probably the reason he is considered a threat. Still it wasn't revealed who and for what reason are the other 4(?) considered special weapons/warp potentials.

[luluxiu]

I can still not believe the power of Quincy, so what about the true ability of ISHIDA URYUU?
That's must be a joke, Qunicy will never own the ability to beat Shinigami!
