Mystery Man Haschwald – Bleach

Haschwald is Juha Bach’s close and personal lieutenant who hasn’t involved himself in any of Juha Bach’s fight. Thus could he be a neutral who’s just following orders? Haschwald seems to be a mystery man who we haven’t seen much of except the fact that he cut Ichigo’s sword in half! His powers could possibly surpass that of Ichigo and possibly any other captain, but who is he really?

Haschwald is most likely a Quincy, but there is always a possibly that he could be an Arrancar or Shinigami, but then again, would Juha Bach stand on having a Arrancar or Shinigami as his lieutenant? Possibly not. The fact that he doesn’t part take in many fights, nor does he like to fight other people, he seems like a person who just seems to be following orders.

The fact that he left some Shinigami’s alive because they were either so weak or lost their minds after seeing Haschwald could mean that he’s not up for killing innocent people, his orders could state to kill Soul Society’s pillars, thus bringing Soul Society into crumbles.

But who is he really? What do you think his real intentions are, and why does he seem like he doesn’t like to take Juha Bach’s orders? Tell me using the comment box!

Zaraki vs Vandenreich Leader – Beast vs His Majesty

The epic battle between Zaraki Kenpachi vs The Vandenreich Leader aka Buckbeard is just about to start and it’s creating a lot of excitement within the Bleach Community. It’s one of those fights where we can guess that there will be one ultimate winner but the ways it’s going to go down is going to be fantastic.

The first blow was dealt by Zaraki but it was quickly blocked by his Majesty. We think that it was blocked using the Blut Vene which means that no damage could have been made to his Majesty.

Zaraki Kenpachi, one of the toughest captains within the Gotei 13! One which knows no fear and loves to fight against any strong opponents even if it’s a comrade. Zaraki has gone up against a ton a opponents but since they all die within the first strike by Zaraki, he gets bored really easily. Zaraki’s looks hasn’t changed much from before the 17 months. He still has similar cloths, the only difference we can see is that his hair is now a lot more wild, it doesn’t hold any bells now. The other difference is that his eye patch has significantly changed. This could be to a number of things, one which pops into mind is that he wants more of his power to be suppressed so he can fight his opponents and enjoy them more. This could a disadvantage in this situation. However we know how powerful Zaraki is, even if he lost against Ichigo, we know that over the 17 months he’s grown significantly powerful after he sliced Giriko in one go. He’s not yet learned the name of his Zanpakuto, if he did he would be able to increase his current power by 10 to 1000!

The Vandenreich Leader, aka Buckbeard, hasn’t shown any of his powers yet. It’s not yet been confirmed if he’s even a Quincy or not. All we currently know is that he’s extremely powerful who was easily able to capture Harribel. If he is a Quincy, we know that he would be able to use the basic Quincy powers such as Reishi Absorption which absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere and combines it to form a weapon or to fuel their techniques. The Blut ability which includes Blut Vene, allowing them to defend themselves, and Blut Arterie, which allows them to use their techniques offensively. Ransotengai allowing them to use their body as a puppet even after their in paralysis, broken limbs or any other force. Heilig Pfeil is also a possibility as it’s one of the primary attacks a Quincy has. The Vandenreich Leader could also use the Quincy: Vollstandig, as well as the Biskiel and the Sklaverei which allows the user to enslave the Reishi in the most powerful way.

So who do you think will take the win? Is it going to be the powerful Quincy Leader or the Captain of the 11th Division? Comment and tell me who you think will take this win. The fantastic image of the characters was drawn by Bl4ckBurn, he’s an awesome artist, check him out!

Zaraki fights his Majesty! – Yamamoto enters Battlefield! – Bleach 503

Bleach 503 impresses me as the action just keeps on stacking up! Bleach 503 has a whole load of fantastic action. We see Zaraki finally go up against the Vandenreich Leader! Zaraki strikes his sword while the Leader blocks it, a large explosion appears! Ichigo is still trapped while Yamamoto appears to save Hisagi.

Bleach 503 starts off with the unnamed Vandenreich members feeling the strong reiatsu which Zaraki has. He looks to his side to see that Zaraki is holding three strong Vandenreich Stern Ritter’s! Zaraki introduces himself with a large smile! He drops each of the three Stern Ritter on the ground.

The first is called Stern Ritter Y “Yourself” called Loyd Lloyd, the second Stern Ritter R “Roar” called Jerome Guizbatt and lastly Stern Ritter Q “Question” Berenice Gabrielli. The unnamed member asks how he killed them, Zaraki explains that the first was a thrash who became a huge ape that blows away the enemy with his voice, so Zaraki cut him in half. The second went on about having something against Zaraki so he cut her throat off. And the third was an average who transformed into Zaraki.

It was himself so he couldn’t do much, but the imitation was killed because he wasn’t as strong as Zaraki. The unnamed member tells him that he’s heard about Zaraki before, and how he’s a monster. Zaraki quickly stops him talking and says that he has no interest in the white beanpole, he just came there to fight the Vandenreich Leader!

Zaraki goes up and tries to strike his sword! He does this at the same time the Vandenreich Leader blocks his attack only using his hand! A large explosion appears all around them!

We now go to Ichigo where he speaks Byakuya, Renji and Rukia, he now shouts and strikes the cage using his own power to break it! At each hit he tries some energy from the  cage flies off at a direction. Ichigo says that he won’t let him die no matter what because he’s going to protect them all!

At another battle, we see Hisagi getting beat down by one of the other Stern Ritter, he says that it’s so painful to fight someone who is such a weak Vice-Captain! His name is Driscoll Berci, Stern Ritter O “Overkill”. Hisagi realizes that this is impossible because he’s just too damn powerful plus they can’t do anything without using their Bankai!

Driscoll Berci asks if he’s afraid of his power, he also mentions that his Majesty gave him the letter O for “Overkill” this means the more he kills, enemies allies or even beasts the stronger he will get. Driscoll Berci sends a large cross like Quincy bow which at high-speed travels really quickly!

Someone appears and Hisagi is shocked! This person was able to knock back the Quincy bow from its direction! We now see closer to find out that the most powerful man in the whole of Soul Society appears! Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto finally appears in battle! Using his only hand he knocks it off direction! Driscoll says that he’s lucky that he’s able to fight with Yamamoto, plus he’s going to use his Subordinate’s Bankai to kill him. Bleach 503 ends here!

WOW! Zaraki has just started his fight with the Vandenreich Leader while Yamamoto has just started by stepping in to save Hisagi! This will truly turn out to be an impressive war! This is going to be an epic fight, Driscoll Berci holds no chance of winning against Yamamoto! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 504 chapter, It’s going to be epic to see Yamamoto fight!

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

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!

Call Ichigo Kurosaki – Shunsui Fights Quincy – Bleach 497

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!

Vandenreich’s Invasion Begins – Bleach 493

The war continues with Bleach 493. Bleach 493 has a whole lot of amazing fights and the story gets even better as the Vandenreich Leader arrives in Soul Society to destroy everything in his path. Kirge’s technique is released and literally absorbs everything in his pathway like Ayon himself and every one else because they are also made up of Reishi.

Bleach 493 continues from last week. Kirge Opie opens his technique, everyone realizes that the amount of energy he has not has grown exponentially. Ayon faces him head on but after trying to reach him, Ayon’s skin and bones start to degrade and everything is turned into Reishi. It starts to be absorbed by Kirge. Everyone notices that Kirge is not joking here because he just absorbed one of the most powerful monsters.

Everything is mixed together with Ayon and Kirge. He calls it Sklaverei (Literally meaning Holy Slave). He explains that Quincy’s basic ability is to enslave Reishi to become more powerful. He tells them that he didn’t want to use that technique because it’s so powerful that he was forced to. His Holy Wings turned into something wicked and dirty.

Mila Rose grabs Apacci and runs for it with Sung-Sun. They get close to Orihime and Chad for Sung-Sun to call out Muda. A large circular ball is made which allows them to hide from Kirge. Kirge says that even beasts are able to sense danger.

Rose goes ahead to tell Chad and Orihime that they don’t know them because they also have powerful Reiatsu. She looks at Orihime and notices that she’s the Princesa (Princess) which Aizen had taken. She asks what she’s doing in Hueco Mundo. Sung-Sun shouts at her because they have time for that later.

Sung-Sun explains that the ability Kirge has is terrible because he’s able to absorb anything in Hueco Mundo and soul Society, since everything is made of Reiatsu, even bodies. Therefore they are no match for him. She explains that the Muda she used is an optical disguise and a barrier of reiatsu to which completely blocks out the opponents sensing skills, she explains that they’ll be able to hide in there.

As she goes to end that sentence. Kirge’s voice is heard saying that it’s a good idea, however she had failed to notice that Kirge is way more powerful the Sung-Sun there the barrier itself is pointless. He absorbs the Muda and it all disappears. Everything starts to also be sucked in. Their bodies, Orihime, Chad, Nel, Sung-Sun, Apacci and Rose.

Kirge sees how they are struggling, and realizes that the sight of death is weak. He cannot bear it so he tells them to just die. Out of nowhere. Ichigo strikes his sword on top of the circular thing of Kirge’s head. Ichigo releases his Bankai, Kirge says damn because he may not be able to go against him in this state.Ichigo tells Kirge, if he crushes his head, he wont be able to absorb anymore of the Reishi. Kirge tells Ichigo that he’s really annoying because he doesn’t seem to go down.

In Soul Society, Yuki is still uneven because he heard about what had happened to the Quincies. Kajoumaru Hidetomo explains that last time the Kokuryou got most of the damage after the last invasion. Therefore the enemies are likely to come from a gate. A person in the back says “oh”, The Vandenreich King appears above them telling them that it makes sense.

Kajoumaru Hidetomo Tells them that he’s still outside the Shakonmaku, but Yuki starts to sweat and slowly tells Kajoumaru that he’s already inside the Shakonmaku. At this point, there is a sudden attack from the King and everything explodes. He tells everyone that wars are really tough. Bleach 493 ends here.

That was an epic episode! The invasion has begun with the Vandenreich Leader attacking everything he can see. Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 494 where the fight between Ichigo and Kirge continues and the King will continues his rage over Soul Society.

Quincy Annihilation Plan – Ayon Smashes Kirge!? – Bleach 492

During Bleach Chapter 492, we see the true power of Ayon take effect on Kirge Opie. We also learn a few things about the past when the Soul Reapers tried to stop Quincy’s from destroying the souls which a hollow has. Therefore the Quincy Annihilation Plan was placed. Ayon discovers that his powers is not as powerful as he first though because Kirge’s broken neck is put into place in matter of seconds.

We start Bleach 492 with Ayon being called out. Apacci, Rose and Sung-Sun tell Ayon to attack him. I didn’t know that Ayon had feelings, but here he shows some because he looks at them three to see what had happened. He screams as laud as he cans showing his full face.

Orihime, Chad and Ichigo wonder what that is because they’ve never seen it before. Apacci explains that Ayon is a monster created by fusing their left arms, he has a lot of power but cannot discriminate between people therefore he attacks anyone and everyone. Apacci tells Ichigo that he’s not an enemy this time, therefore he should stay clear or else he’ll die by the hands of Ayon.

Kirge assures himself that there is no his Vollstandig could be beaten by a monster like Ayon. At Ayon’s strike, Kirge is swung to the side and is somewhat bashed, we can see something that looks like blood coming from his body.

In Soul Society, Shino and Yuki are told to see the 6th Seat Kajoumaru who will put them into a station for them to work at. They run to find Kajoumaru. Yuki tells Shino that he’s confused about why they are actually fighting the Quincies. Shino shouts at Yuki that it’s because they had declared war on them. Yuki correct’s his question and tells her why they’ve been enemies in the first place.

A man appears. Kajoumaru Hidetomo, 6th Seat of Division 13. Kajoumaru answers Yuki’s question. He reveals that the biggest difference between Shinigami and Quincy is that they destroy Hollows. Shinigami purify the hollow and sent it to Soul Society, But Quincies kill the hollow and obliterate the soul.

He goes on to tell Yuki and Shino about the Balancers. That name describe the shinigami’s true job. Souls are sent as being from Soul Society to the Material World, and dead souls are indiscriminately led to Soul Society. This way, the overall balance of souls is maintained. While Quincy exist to destroy that balance.

Quincy completely destroy hollows souls, meaning that the souls that went to the material world would die as they are unable to return back to Soul Society. If this is permanent, the balance of souls will not be met, thus the material world and Soul Society will both world would collapse. Shinigami’s have tried to tell the Quincies to stop this but they fail, at times they usually wage smaller wars due to this.

200 Years Ago, The Quincy Annihilation Plan was finally put into action. This way they had to fight to win because that imbalance could have caused the worlds to collapse. Yuki asks if the shinigami’s are on the side of justice.  Kajoumaru tells Yukino, that there’s no such thing because they are just defending themselves, because ultimately it’s just war.

Back in Hueco Mundo, Kirge is badly getting beaten by Ayon. He smashes him at every potential orientation! Ayon literally goes on the overkill to get rid of Kirge for what he did to Apacci, Rose and Sung-Sun. Orihime and Chad notice the brute force he has. Kirge is left feet up while his head is underneath the sand. Apacci enjoys the quick victory.

After a few moments, an arrow from Kirge comes through and right into Apacci’s chest. She falls down why Kirge gets up. He tells himself that this kind of power was never included in the report he got. We see his head smashed to the side while his neck is literally broken. But after a few moments, he pushes his neck back to normal. Sung-Sun and Rose notice that he’s getting back up even after he was smashed by Ayon. Before he goes to report this to his Majesty, he tells them that he will need to quickly kill all of them. His head expands in such a manner as though he’s going to power up. Bleach 492 ends here!

What a fantastic chapter! Epic Bleach chapters like these is what makes it all good! The amount of power Kirge, a Quincy, has compared to Uryu is just unbelievable! Next week’s Bleach 493, Kirge may power up a little more and show one of his greatest move!

Kirge’s Forstendich Release – Sternenritter Ready for War! – Bleach 490

The epic story within the Final Arc continues with the latest Bleach 490! The Sternenritter, meaning Star Knights, have been told by his Majesty to prepare at once for the upcoming war. In Hueco Mundo, Ichigo finds himself in trouble as he’s up against Kirge Opie. Kirge releases a great technique called the Forstendich allowing him to gain incredible powers. Everyone in Soul Society start to panic due to the short time for their preparation.

We start the episode in the head quarters of the Vandenreich where a report is being told. His Majesty has told the Sternenritter to prepare for the upcoming war. Ichigo Kurosaki, one of the five special weapons, is busy fighting with Kirge Opie giving them the chance to attack Soul Society. The Vandenreich will now invade Soul Society!

In Hueco Mundo, the fight between Ichigo vs Kirge. Kirge gets a perfect hit on Ichigo using the Quincy Bow. Kirge asks Ichigo if that’s all he’s got because it was nothing. Kirge notices Ichigo’s Sword fall straight down. As the smoke disappears, Kirge notices that Ichigo held the bow only using he’s hand. Ichigo throws the bow back causing a large explosion.

Ichigo goes down and tells Orihime to take care of Nel because she’ll only be in the way. Ichigo then launches a wave of he’s power pushing Kirge to go back. Kirge has a smirk on his face when he tells Ichigo that he was able to dodge, repel and throw back the Heirich Pfeil.

Ichigo tells Kirge that it was stronger than Ishida’s arrow. Kirge replies that he knows Ishida Uryu and that it’s should be weaker than his. Kirge tells Ichigo that he’s told Ichigo too much information, and that after this battle, Kirge will have to report back a lot of information.

Ichigo asks who his Majesty is, Kirge replies that he has no need to answer that question. At this point, Kirge Opie receives a report that he should defeat Ichigo with all of his strength. Kirge Opie then tells Ichigo about an ability which allows them to transform into their greatest form, called the “Quincy: Letzt Stil”.

He wears a glove on he’s hand which activates to create a large allow on the sky with a round circle with two slashes on it. The large bow breaks and behind it lies Kirge Opie in his Final Form! It’s called the “Forstendich”.

Somewhere else, Pesche and Urahara are trying to get Dondochakka back. I now suspect that this is Soul Society, where a large object, which looks like a large feet to me appears in the sky where it may now try to crush all the houses. Time continues to step towards Oblivion! Bleach Chapter 490 ends here!

That was one fantastic chapter. Due to the Golden Week in Japan, Bleach 490 and other chapter have been released late. But I think it was worth waiting for it because the amount of action happening in Bleach currently is just fantastic! I literally can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 491 chapter!
