Get Lost – Byakuya and Zaraki

Byakuya Kuchiki and Zaraki Kenpachi have both had their ups and downs, especially when rivaling up against each other. They both seem to go up against each other most often than not as, they see each other as opponents to prove who’s the stronger out of them. Byakuya has shown that he can be very strong, but Zaraki hasn’t even touched his limits, so who do you think is stronger?

Both have been up against each other from the start, they have gone up against their own opponents in order to prove who the strongest is from them. The most significant fight which proved that they were both rivals was during their battle against Espada 0, Yammy Llargo! They were both annoyed at the fact that Yammy kept getting in their way, with a few slashes both of them destroyed and paralyzed Yammy, we saw the end of him at this point.

The incredible image above was drawn by Sideburn004, the image was inspired to her by Chapter 382. She’s done a fantastic job of drawing therefore it’s only right for you to check her out.

The Soul King Awakens – Bleach 519

44 Replies

The Soul King Awakens Bleach 519 reveals a whole lot more to how the Reiokyu works. We discover that the King’s Key is embedded within the Zero Division members bones, Ichigo is first told to go with Kirinji Tenjiro who tells Ichigo about how his healing pool works, and how he’s going to fix Rukia, Renji and Byakuya.

Bleach 519 begins as Ichigo is brought within Reiokyu. Osho tells Ichigo that he should feel proud because no simple Shinigami could come here, Osho then rephrase saying that he shouldn’t call Ichigo a simple Shinigami. Ichigo realizes that Aizen had done so much just to enter the Reiokyu.

Ichigo asks Osho if he doesn’t need a King’s Key to enter, and when did he use it to enter. Osho shows him his arm, he explains that the King’s Key is created with the power of the King of Souls, he uses it on the bones of who is part of the Zero Division, ultimately there are two ways to enter the Reiokyu, one is to let someone pass and the other is to come together with the Zero Division.

Aizen was trying to create a King’s Key, this meaning that he was trying to create them with his own reijutsu, he wanted to create the key, defeat the king and basically become God himself. Senjumaru Shutara tells Ichigo that Aizen is the personification of Evil, however the Quincies are even more wicked.

Ichigo is told to stand on a object, he’s told not to move or else he’ll die. Before something happens, one of the Zero Division members try to take Ichigo somewhere, out of nowhere Ichigo halts everything, he asks that he should get an explanation of where he’s going and if he’s going to meed the Soul King. One of the members speaks telling Ichigo that he can’t just meet the Soul King.

Kirio Hikifune slaps his comrade, telling him to explain properly. She explains that Reiokyu can be used to describe everything in this whole area, but to be exact, Ichigo is currently at the Reiokyu Omotesando, which is the entrance to the actual palace. Looking towards the sky, there is a cocoon like building, that is where the Soul King resides.

The floating things which look like trays are Zero Division Quarters, they are basically the castles of each of the members, within a tray lies a small city for each of the members, they are all entrusted with one of them. Firstly, Ichigo will be going to Kirinden (Literally Meaning Kirin Palace).

Ichigo arrives and goes to the Kirinden, there is a large hot spring,Ichigo quickly gets pissed on why he’s idling in a hot spring, Kirinji tells Ichigo that what he’s bathing in is a Hot-Spring Cure, something comes out of the water, it’s reveals that it’s Byakuya’s head, Kirinji quickly pushes it down telling him that it shouldn’t be floating.

Kirinji then pulls out Renji, he’s holding him like a red turnip, Rukia also floats but all we can see is her butt shape on top of the water. Kirinji explains that by keeping them underwater, their wounded reiatsu is getting squeezed out together with their blood, Kirinji then shows Ichigo the Blood Pond Hell Red Hot Spring.

That Blood Pond is where Byakuya will go when he’s completely empty, he throws Byakuya while saying this. Ichigo tells Kirinji that he’s risking his life by just throwing him. Kirinji explains that his blood is sucked away and is replenished in the Blood Pond Hell. By repeating this a few times, the rotten blood and reiatsu are completely sucked out and substituted with this hot spring water, this is his Healing Technique!

Kirinji asks Ichigo is he was Urahara’s disciple, Ichigo denies this. Kirinji somehow knows about Urahara and Yoruichi’s play ground, he asks if he ever used their hot spring to heal his wounds. That was something Urahara created after analyzing the water in his hot spring water. Kirinji tells Ichigo to shut up and stays in the water, he will heal and become a lot healthier than he was ever before. We find out that Kirinji Tenjiro is Sentouki (Demon of the Hot Water Spring).

We move to another place, in the cocoon within one of the windows, we see a mysterious man asking someone else if they’re awake, it’s really dark in that place. We see a man like form surrounded by a cocoon like object, he’s fronted by opening sheets, he’s finally described as the Soul King (King of Souls). The description mentions that he’s just awakened from his long sleep! Bleach 519 ends here!

What a great chapter, everything is moving at a fantastic pace, it’s all going amazingly great and we’ve finally seen the epic and fantastic Soul King! It’s going to be awesome seeing his full form. He doesn’t seem like a normal man, possibly some think which is in a whole new level. Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 520!!

A Cherry Blossom Has Fallen – Byakuya Kuchiki

Ichigo vs Juha Bach – Ichigo Finally Arrives! – Bleach 512

53 Replies

Bleach 512 reveals how Ichigo’s determination will go as far as protecting Soul Society even thought it has nothing to do with him, the last explosion was based on Ichigo’s entrance from when he broke the barrier which another Stern Ritter had placed. Ichigo finally faces Juha Bach, it seems as though it’s all about to go down!

Bleach 512 begins as large number of soldier’s reiatsu start to diminish as they are killed at a spontaneous rate. Even the power of the Ancient Shinigami Genryusai wasn’t able to stop the Quincies’ Invasion until someone shows up. A large crack in the barrier above occurs, a man from the Research Labs tells this person that he’s relived that he’s arrived, he wanted to open it earlier but it wouldn’t work.

A Stern Ritter shows up to kill the large numbers of Shinigami’s trying to bring Ichigo to this world. Ichigo asks who this person is, the Stern Ritter reveals himself as Shaz Domino, after saying just a few words, Ichigo quickly attacks him without delay, he smash’s something into his face instantly killing him. A large flash in the sky with reiatsu appears in the sky, this was due to the Barrier breaking due to Ichigo’s intense power.

Everyone, even Juha Bach, looks towards the sky to see who this person is, he runs out after destroying the Stern Ritter inside the barrier. He notices that both Renji and Rukia are hurt but still alive. Some of the higher Stern Ritter notice that their comrades Reiatsu had vanished.

Ichigo approaches Byakuya, Byakuya asks if Renji and Rukia are still alive, Ichigo replies that they’re fine and alive, he’s happy that they’re both still alive, he then says that he won’t last much longer. Despite being one of the Captain of the Gotei 13, he wasn’t able to defeat the Stern Ritter who faced him. He let many of his soldiers die causing suffering of their subordinates and families. He says that he’s ashamed for not being able to do anything.

Byakuya then says that Ichigo is a human, not only should Ichigo not be involved in this but he shouldn’t even be there. Yet Byakuya asks him a favor even after the despicable behavior of his. At this point, Byakuya lays his eyes upon the full body of Ichigo and asks him to Protect Soul Society! Ichigo’s determined faces has no other answer but yes!

Haschwald realizes that this reiatsu is that of Ichigo, Juha Bach also agrees. Haschwald asks if they should eliminate him, Juha says No and that they’re leaving. As Juha Bach walks, a large and thin object lands right in front of Juha Bach stopping him from walking. Juha Bach notices the sword and quickly knows that it’s Ichigo Kurosaki’s sword.

Ichigo also arrives right behind the sword, he picks up the sword and looks towards Juha, he faces Juha Bach with such a blank emotion to his face that he has nothing else to do but to defeat Juha Bach as quickly as he can. Ichigo get’s ready to protect both his world, Soul Society and even Hueco Mundo. Bleach 512 ends here.

That was an awesome chapter, Ichigo’s arrival has brought even more action, yet some say that it’s too generic for Ichigo to arrive because he is not a part of Soul Society. Nevertheless it’s going to be an awesome to see Ichigo go up against the head of the Vandenreich, Juha Bach, during next week’s Bleach 513 chapter. The mysterious repetition of words could prove that the other Twin from Royd and Loyd in action.

Byakuya Kuchiki Dead?! – Zaraki Kenpachi Appears!! – Bleach 502

423 Replies

Bleach 502 really shows what can happen when a captain goes down. From the Senbonzakura attack on Byakuya, he is nearly dead! Renji gets pissed out and starts fighting As Nodt. Rukia notices that Byakuya is nearly dead, she runs to her when she’s met by a Stern Ritter who attacks her. Zaraki appears with a butt load of dead Stern Ritter, he meets the Vandenreich Leader, he of course wants to fight him!

We start Bleach 502 as it’s continued from last weeks chapter. Byakuya is seen to fall to the floor as blood! He is nearly dead, As Nodt tells him that he cannot do anything else because he cannot win against his own Bankai with his Shikai. Renji quickly starts to attack As Nodt in his Shikai which again does no effect on him.

He tells As Nodt that a bastard like him is not worthy of using Senbonzakura! He attacks but it seems that it hasn’t done any effect on As Nodt. Rukia notices that Byakuya’s reiatsu has disappeared. She runs towards him but one of the Stern Ritter’s tells her that she should not turn her back at the enemy during a fight because then she must be underestimating him. She is attacked by her opponent.

Renji attacked with his Shikai but failed as As Nodt quickly blocked it with his own hand! As Nodt uses the power of Senbonzakura to insert all the petals in Zabimaru, it covers the whole Shikai sword when it reaches Renji. We see Byakuya stand up with his last effort, but As Nodt quickly uses Senbonzakura to direct all his attack at Byakuya! It all covers Byakuya and literally cuts at every point it can hit him. He falls to the ground.

Renji desperately calls out for As Nodt to stop this but they just keep going. Renji shouts to his fullest for As Nodt to STOP!! then goes to shout Bankai, when he’s struck by one of the Stern Ritter members. Renji is hit hard! As Nodt calls him an idiot because they could have caught another Bankai, he tells him that he thought that only captains could use the Bankai. As Nodt tells him to go home and reread the daten his majesty gave them.

Byakuya stands there, calls for Renji and Rukia. His sword cracks into a million pieces then tells them to forgive him for not protecting them. Somewhere else, the Vandenreich Leader and an Unnamed Stern Ritter notices that Byakuya Kuchiki has died. The Stern Ritter member tells the Leader that it’s dragging on as thought, the Leader tells him that their Stern Ritter’s are too permissive, it’s only their fault.

The Unnamed Member notices a great force behind them. They see Zaraki Kenpachi! With two or three or even four members of the Stern Ritter on top of him! All stabbed by his sword! He asks if they are the boss of these punks, referring to the Stern Ritter. The Leader looks at him, Bleach 502 ends here!

My reactions to this surpasses any word in any dictionary! I just can’t believe that Byakuya is dead! or is he!? Tell me what you think! It’s certainly awesome seeing Zaraki kick some Stern Ritter ass and go straight to the Leader! Zaraki is certainly going to get his ass beat by the leader! Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s Bleach 503 chapter!

Byakuya’s Fear Awakens – As Nodt uses Senbonzakura – Bleach 501

47 Replies

Bleach 501 continues with its epic fight between Byakuya vs As Nodt. A powerful captain versus an incredibly powerful Stern Ritter. Ichigo is still stuck in the cage even after trying to cut it with he’s sword but fails. Byakuya notices that he’s very tired and doesn’t know whats going on. Renji is told to stay back to see what kind of technique he uses. Byakuya’s Fear is questioned and used against him.

Bleach 501 starts of with Ichigo still trapped within the cage tired as he tries to break out using his power but fails at each point. He starts by telling himself that not even his Getsuga Tenshou doesn’t work against the cage! He notices that on the phone Akon is still there while Urahara’s call has been disconnected.

Ichigo starts to panic because of the inability to do nothing from him. He’s all tied up and he can’t do anything! He starts to get tired quickly and is starting to use quite a lot of power. Back in Soul Society we see Byakuya Kuchiki is still fighting with his full force, except that he’s Bankai has been stolen from him.

Byakuya tells Renji to stay back because there is no point in attacking an enemy whose power they still have no knowledge about. He tells Renji to watch his fight and understand what his ability is. Renji asks if he’s going to be fighting after he knows his power. Byakuya tells him that he doesn’t have the intelligence in being able to lure As Nodt into showing his powers.

Byakuya notices that his limbs and such are starting to halt and stop as if they are tired or something. He notices that As Nodt has some kind of thorns surrounding him, would they be containing some kind of poison or something similar. As Nodt asks Byakuya if he’s noticed yet.

He tells him that you may have thought it was poison, but its not. As Nodt tells him that it’s something that he may have lost a long time ago, he reminds him that he had become a captain and then became really strong. He had the power to completely overpower his enemies, so he forgot about it a long time ago. He reveals that this feeling is nothing other than pure Fear!

Renji is shocked that Byakuya would actually be in fear. As Nodt tells him that he’s a good captain, plus he resisted very well. An average Shinigami would’ve started screaming in fear and go mad at the first strike of his arrows. They would have died and their heart unable to resist the shock. Therefore anything would instantly turn into fear.

As Nodt tells Byakuya that even if he moves towards him, something deadly may happen. Even if it’s a small amount of movement, something suspicious is likely to occur, and thus he will start to not think straight. He tells Byakuya that he’s currently resisting this with only his willpower, it’s very surprising to As Nodt.

The fear has already captured Byakuya’s heart. Byakuya’s notices the fear and tells him that there is no fights without fear. He has overcome it every time he fights, which are usually on the verge of his death by the opponent. He has never repressed his fear, he’s always acknowledge his fear and gained strength from it. He pictures Rukia happy, within a few moments he starts to notice that her face starts to degrade and starts to dissolve in a fearful way!

Byakuya is hit once more and this time it’s a critical hit to his torso. As Nodt tells him that he’s not currently moving and that most experienced fighters tend to believe that Fear can be overcome, plus Fear with a reason is gentle, this is what As Nodt says. Anyone can stop it with experience and willpower, if you know the reason and source of fear, you can stop it. But sometimes Real Fear doesn’t have a reason, because it’s not a feeling, it’s an instinct. It has no reason and no limits.

Byakuya imagines himself as thought a horde of bugs are crawling up his body. He cannot escape his own instinct and this is now caught within As Nodt technique. They are all crawling up above his body to his face. Byakuya uses his will power quickly to escape the dream. He does this and tries to slice As Nodt, but fails as As Nodt has backed away.

As Nodt quickly takes out the metal circular plate which holds Byakuya’s Bankai, it seems as though he’s going to be using it. Rukia who is somewhere else see’s one of Byakuya’s flowers pass by her head. It’s hard to explain what has happened but it seems that As Nodt has attacked Byakuya with his attack and Byakuya starts to fall as his Bankai circulates the sky. Bleach 501 ends here!

That was a crazy episode! Even if we still don’t know who killed Kirge Opie, it seems that next week we will get back to Hueco Mundo and see who killed him! Plus as Urahara disconnected his call he may have been attacked or just had to talk to them privately. Still it was an awesome chapter! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 502 chapter! It’s going to be fantastic!

Call Ichigo Kurosaki – Shunsui Fights Quincy – Bleach 497

5 Replies

Bleach 497 explodes into action as Soul Society is quickly being destroyed by the Quincies. The Quincies have already gained their Bankai and now they play with them. Renji becomes under pressure to release his Bankai but is stopped by Byakuya. Shunsui starts a fight with one of the Sternritter, he receives a quick injury to the eye as the Quincies are lightning fast. Mayuri calls the other Captains Idiot for not listening to him.

Bleach 497 starts as the Sternritter facing Captains have quickly obtained their Bankai’s! Soi Fong is in shock as her Bankai has been taken away from her. Matsumoto stands still as she doesn’t know what to do or even know what’s just happened here. Toshiro, Renji and Komamura are surprised at what had just happened. Komamura realizes that they’ve stolen their Bankai’s. Toshiro can’t feel anything coming from his sword. He asks for his sword to say something but Hyorinmaru doesn’t respond!

Toshiro yells at Matsumoto to quickly use the Tenteikura. This informs all the other captains that they should not use their Bankai’s when fighting with the Quincies as they are likely to just steal it. Matsumoto does this and all the other captains find out! Unohana finds out that the 10th, 2nd, 6th and 7th Division Captains have had their Bankai’s lost!

Mayuri runs in to tell them that he had warn them to wait until Mayuri had finished his analysis, he then calls them idiots because they had not listened to him with such a serious case. Yamamoto steps in front of Mayuri, it’s as thought he’s all ready to go and fight with the Quincies.

During Shunsui’s fight with a Sternritter, he tells him that he is thankful, as Mayuri usually gets to a conclusion with a day or so as long as he has enough information, but as he didn’t have enough information about this stolen bankai’s and Quincy situation it’s going to be hard for them to be able to explain their abilities. Shunsui tells the Sternritter that they are not the enemies that can be beaten by a Bankai, sooner or later someone had to be sacrificed.

The Sternritter quickly approaches Shunsui and goes for a shot in the face, Shunsui moves his head and lifts his feet to push him back as well as get a hit. He does this but just after a few moments, the Quincy moves at lightning fast speed to behind Shunsui after saying “Grimaniel”. Shunsui turns his face and the Sternritter quickly shoots one of his arrows right at Shunsui’s Eye!

The Sternritter seems to have absorbed some Reishi from Soul Society, he now has wing like structure behind him. Shunsui tells him that he may act cool, but he’s nervous too because these Quincies can pull anything out. Shunsui with a smile tells the Quincy that he’s in a bad situation as he can only see with one eye.

Somewhere else, Yuki and Shino see Kajoumaru being slaughtered by one of the Quincies. The Vandenreich Leader stands behind him, the Quincy asks what he should do because this team looks like they already lost the will to fight. The Vandenreich Leader tells him that if he things they’ll be happier alive then leave them free, if they deserve to die then he should kill them. The Quincy agrees.

Angered Renji see’s what happened to Byakuya, his Bankai has just been lost. Renji Impatiently tries to bring out his Bankai but is stopped by Byakuya as they may also take his Bankai from him! Byakuya explains that they will take his Bankai if he doesn’t be careful! Renji shouts at Byakuya asking him for a way to defeat him because he’s just too powerful!

At the Research HQ, Akon is seriously worried about the Shinigami’s as there is literally an exponential number of Shinigami’s being killed at this moment. Akon asks one of the members there to link him to Ichigo Kurosaki. The member tells Akon that the Captain will not permit of this. Akon tells the member that he will take responsibility for what is currently happening here. Bleach 497 ends here!

What an incredible chapter! The way Bleach is turning out is incredible! The war is astonishing! The number of Shinigami’s dying is just incredible! Akon is worried so he calls for the help of Ichigo as he’s Bankai cannot be stolen! Bleach 498 is going to incredible! Hopefully we’ll continue with the fight of Kirge vs Ichigo next week!

Stolen Bankai’s – Fear Upon Soul Society – Bleach 496

9 Replies

A fantastic Bleach 496 Chapter begins as Toshiro, Byakuya, Komamura and Soi Fong reach out to the enemy to fight them with their Bankai’s! Byakuya states that this is the only way for them to fight the Sternritter because they seem really powerful! The Captains learn that the Sternritter have the ability to seal their Bankai, but find out that their Bankai’s are actually being stolen from them!

We Kajoumaru Hidetomo face up to one of the unnamed Sternritter. Kajoumaru tells the Sternritter to stop because he wont let him go any further than this. The Sternritter tells him that if he fears him, then he doesn’t care if he runs away, but for the Shinigami’s the Sternritter has no point in warning them of when they’ll be attacked because he absolutely hates all Shinigami. Kajoumaru tells the Quincy to not the 13th Squad because they’re going to stop him.

The Quincy tells Kajoumaru that he’s full of fear and that he has no control of what’s going to happen because the current situation is a life and death situation. As the Quincy speaks, Kajoumaru trembles in fear as he starts to sweat and becomes even more consumed by his fear. Out of nowhere, he lifts his sword and tries to attack the Quincy, he goes from the front and fails as the Quincy has already cut him without even moving or lifting a sword or hand.

Renji notices what Byakuya has said, he tells Byakuya that he wasn’t going to show any mercy because of what had happened in their courts. Byakuya mentions that there unjustful bastards has killed Sasakibe in front of Yamamoto. As Nodt steps forward, Byakuya tells him not too move because then Byakuya could get him with his blades. Renji mentions that it’s impossible to cut him.

Byakuya’s blades surround As Nodt and tells him that it’s not true. As Nodt notices in shock that he’s hand is bleeding, Renji is also surprised that Byakuya was able to cut him. The second Quincy member which is there warns As Nodt to what he’s doing because Byakuya clearly broke their Blood Coat. Byakuya tells this second member not to move because after some moments he falls down into the ground. Byakuya has made it so any movement would make the ground break and the person would fall.

Byakuya tells Renji that this is a 2 versus 1 match, Byakuya’s Senbonzakura retracts and becomes a sword once more. He tells him, if his Bankai were to be sealed away by the Quincy, Renji would use his Bankai in order to help him. Renji is surprised by the request because this is what Vice-Captain Sasakibe has said. Renji agrees and tells Byakuya that he should use his something else. This something else isn’t mentioned because Byakuya quickly tells Renji that the only way to defeat them is with their Bankai’s.

Komamura tells Testuzaemon Iba the same thing. Toshiro tells Rangiku Matsumoto the same thing because they want to find a way to break that seal which they have gotten. Soi Fong tells Marechiyo Omaeda the same thing. They all enable their Bankai’s. Byakuya with his Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, Komamura with his Kokujyou Tengen Myou’ Ou’. Soi Fong with her Jaku Hou Raikou Ben and Toshiro with his Dai Guren Hyourimaru! All the Quincies take out a circular object.

It seems as though it has activated as it’s pulling all the Captain’s Bankai’s away! Byakuya notices that As Nodt has sucked his Byakuya within that circular object! He notices that what has happened is not a Sealing Technique! As Nodt does a very scary yet wicked smile. Byakuya notices that their Bankai’s have been Stolen!! Bleach 496 ends here!

What an awesome finding! It’s crazy how powerful these Quincies are compared to what Uryu is! The captains are currently hopeless because their precious Bankai’s have been taken from them! It’ll be interesting to see what’ll happen during next week’s Bleach 497, and what the Captains are likely to do to even get close to defeating these Sternritter!
