Ichigo’s path to Soul Society is Blocked – Urahara analyzes Quincy Powers – Bleach 499

4 Replies

Bleach 499 has an epic start with an epic end. We find out that Ichigo is on his way to Soul Society when Kirge Opie stands up again to block his path. Kirge blocks the end as well as captured Ichigo within a cage, he then blocks the entrance so Ichigo is left in there until he’s saved or destroys the cage. Urahara tells Akon everything he knows about the Quincy’s power as he was observing Ichigo in his fight with Kirge.

Bleach 499 starts of with one of the research members that Ichigo Kurosaki is currently making his way to Soul Society in order to help. Orihime and Chad are currently within Hueco Mundo, they wish they can help but they are told by Urahara to look for a metallic plate as big as a palm somewhere with Kirge. Urahara will explain everything to Orihime and Chad once they’ve analyzed Kirge.

One of the research members is crying in happiness as they find out that everything will be okay as Ichigo will definitely come to save Soul Society from the Quincy’s. Currently, Akon tells Ichigo everything he knows, 2245 Soldiers, 16 Seats and 1 Vice Captain’s Reiatsu has vanished. The numbers of dead are increasing as they speak. A lot of damage has also been done to the buildings.

Ichigo asks if Reiatsu vanishing means that they’ve died. Akon tells Ichigo that both Rukia and Renji are both okay as their Reiatsu still good and showing. Ichigo tells him that it’s not what he’s asking. There are at least 16 individuals who are at captain-rank in power if not superior! They call themselves the Sternritter (Stern Ritter) who wear white Quincy outfits. At this point there are currently no dead Quincy’s, they have not yet won a single battle!

Ichigo asks what they’re abilities are, Akon tells him that they still have no information on this, however Akon does tell Ichigo that they have the ability to steal Bankai’s. This information comes from the Captains of the 2nd, 6th, 7th and 10th Division who’ve had their Bankai’s stolen. Ichigo is shocked at this point as even they couldn’t beat the Stern Ritter, he’s shocked at their amazing powers.

Urahara taps into their phone call to tell them about the enemies abilities, which he analysed from the information he gathered from Ichigo’s battle with Kirge. There are 3 main Quincy abilities. The first is the Quincy Vollstandig, where they change their appearance as well as their power. The second is an ability called Blut. Blut is an ability which uses Reishi to flow in their blood vessels allowing them to increase their attack and defense powers drastically.

Blue is very dangerous but has one flaw. The Blut for attacking and defending works using two different Reishi systems, thus they aren’t able to use them at the same time. The third is the ability to steal Bankai’s which was shown when Kirge tries taking Ichigo’s abilities but failed. Urahara tells Akon that they use a metallic plate to take Bankai’s, he will examine it to see how it works. Urahara tells Akon that they waited for Ichigo to go to Hueco Mundo in order to invade Soul Society. Ichigo is told to be wary of their powers.

A light passes through Ichigo’s side which goes to the Soul Society end of the path, Ichigo notices that many of them go right to the door and block them with the light. Once the door Soul Society end door is closed, Ichigo tells Urahara that the exit was blocked. We can see that both Orihime and Chad have both been seriously injured, Chad has multiple holes within his body dues to the attacks sent by Kirge.

Kirge Opie gets up to enable his Ransou Tengai. He tells Urahara that he won’t let him go to Soul Society even if it costs him his life, he’s going to take his Majesties orders seriously right until the end. He tries to stop Ichigo at all costs. He then sends another attack which is blocked by Ichigo but then splits into forming a cage like object trapping Ichigo.

Ichigo is shocked at what he’s done. Kirge is currently laughing at the fact that he’s finally caught Ichigo. He tells him that he was almost able to get to Soul Society, but he won’t be able to protect of get to Soul Society because of the cage. Kirge tells him that he’s lost as he’s going to be stuck in that dark cage. Kirge then shuts the Hueco Mundo entrance. Kirge is blocked his path! Bleach 499 ends here!

Wow! That was literally an epic chapter! Kirge Opie is going on a full on battle to stop Ichigo at any cost. He’s possibly going to die in the next chapter! I presume that within next week’s Bleach 500, Urahara will finally show some of his fighting skill against Kirge has he’s possibly pissed off right now, also Orihime and Chad may not be watching! Kirge may be getting a brutal beating from Urahara!

Ichigo goes to Soul Society – Kirge is Hit from Urahara – Bleach 498

11 Replies

Bleach 498 continues as Akon tries to communicate with Ichigo but has to talk to Urahara. Akon learns that Ichigo is one tough guy who’s in Hueco Mundo fighting Kirge Opie. Urahara learns about the horrific nature of the Sternritter in Soul Society thus leading Urahara to seriously would Kirge giving Ichigo enough time for him to go to Soul Society!

Bleach 498 starts out with Akon telling one of his subordinates to make contact with Ichigo Kurosaki. They ask how they should do it, he responds with the Combat Badge which Ichigo possess. All they need to do is search for it. One of the research members does this to find that the Badge is in the Material World, however Ichigo is not with it. Plus the spirit trail from the badge goes directly to Hueco Mundo!

They wonder why Ichigo would have gone to Hueco Mundo. There’s more, the badge is located within Urahara’s Shop, they find out that since there is some spirit wave interference, it may be somewhere underground. Akon comes up with the plan to contact Urahara directly. Urahara receives a call directly, he picks up.

Urahara asks if everything in Soul Society is going well. Akon gets angry even after telling Urahara that there’s an emergency. He tells him that he’s got business with Ichigo, he asks if he’s there at that moment. Urahara responds by telling Akon that he can’t come to the phone at this point. Akon asks why.

Urahara tells him that at this moment, Ichigo is in a battle with a Quincy who’s the captain of the Hueco Mundo Hunting Squad. All the other members in this research point are flabbergasted and ask why he’s fighting a Quincy in Hueco Mundo. Akon realizes that these Quincies even made it to Hueco Mundo and was first noticed by Ichigo, faster than Akon could have realized. Akon had heard rumors about Ichigo but they weren’t these unpredictable.

Akon asks how the battle is going, Urahara tells him that they are both on equal footings, he then replaces this by telling him that Ichigo is pushing Kirge Opie back as Ichigo has now gotten an advantage. Kirge tries to suck Ichigo’s Bankai in using the same circular device but isn’t able to because of Ichigo’s uniqueness. Ichigo keeps on attacking.

Urahara tells Akon that Kirge wants to seal Ichigo’s Bankai using some technique but it doesn’t seem like it’s working on Ichigo, thus Ichigo is able to use his powers to push him back. Akon and the others are shocked because Kirge isn’t able to take Ichigo’s Bankai away. Akon tells Urahara to stop the fight as Ichigo needs to go to Soul Society right away. Urahara tells Akon that there are intruders in Soul Society who just walked right in, if they are contact him then it must mean that it’s quite bad. Urahara returns to his first question, he asks how things are going in Soul Society!

Kirge keeps on dodging and escaping Ichigo’s attacks. Kirge remembers that he had received data to disallow Ichigo from using his Bankai. That they could not use their medals to suck his Bankai into it, that’s all the information they had received. He explains thinks of how he even used his Vollstandig and absorbed a monster and can’t even use his techniques to defeat Ichigo. How can Ichigo easily be surpassing Kirge?

Ichigo keeps on receiving quick swift attacks from Ichigo. Ichigo keeps on blocking each and every attack which Kirge launches at him. Ichigo realizes that Ivan also wanted to seal his Bankai, Ichigo asks how they are able to do such a thing to Shinigami’s. Kirge doesn’t answer his question but realizes that his attack power and speed are a real problem.

Kirge realizes that he needs to also attack Ichigo. He explains that because of Ichigo’s slashing speed, he needs for his Blut Vene to be at full power at all times to block his attack, however he cannot attack Ichigo with it unless he switches to his Blut Arterie. However attacking Ichigo in his Bankai Mode with his Blut Arterie will not affect him, thus Kirge thinks if he should ask for backup.

Ichigo asks Kirge if he’s afraid of Bankai’s? Kirge bursts out with that is not the case, and thus that the people of the Vandenreich are not feared by their Bankai’s! At this point, Urahara uses one of his technique which fires a shot at Kirge. Ichigo looks back to find out who did this. Urahara tells Ichigo that because of Ichigo, Kirge’s Spirit Particles Collapsed and he was able to land a critical hit.

Urahara throws Ichigo and phone, telling him that Akon is on the line. Urahara had opened a Senkai Gate for Ichigo to go Soul Society and fight the Quincies. Akon tells Ichigo to listen carefully, also he must not despair because the information he’s about to hear if some what shocking. Bleach 498 ends here!

Wow, what a fantastic Bleach 498! Ichigo has finally began his way to go to Soul Society leaving Urahara to take care of Kirge and the other Quincies. Plus Orihime and Chad are still in Hueco Mundo! This is going to be interesting! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 499 when Ichigo could possibly face a Sternritter or even see the Vandenreich Leader when he arrives in Soul Society!
