[SPOILER] The Thousand-Year Blood War – Final Arc

Final Arc The Thousand-Year Blood War

The latest Bleach Arc has started! The Thousand-Year Blood War is the last arc of Bleach, therefore Bleach as a series, manga and anime is coming to a end. I, as well as other dedicated fans, are all unhappy due to this disappointing news.

Although this is the last Arc, Tite Kubo would had to make this the best Arc, bringing all the loose ends to and end. Most dedicated fans have been guessing what could happen during this Final Arc. Here’s a list of what could happen as well as information about the new arc you should know:

As I discovered and dig up more information about the new Arc I will keep adding more and more information, keep up and watch this space. I do hope that this final arc will be extremely long to compensate for all these loose ends, so all the secrets behind all the characters could be told. If you have any other extra information, please comment below.

    Wow lot of info there lol. Umm this is just an idea..but I think Yamamoto will die/announce his successor whom I personally believe will be Hitsugaya since his powers are over 9000 for his age with Unohana, Kyoraku and Ukitake will be like advisors or something. 😛 I hope this is a long arc and honestly the whole Aizen thing was long if you consider it starting from when Rukia was saved to when Aizen died.

      Im sure it will be a long arc as the anime has a lot of explaining to do… Hopefully, it’ll be 150/200 more episodes..

      I don’t understand how Hitsugaya’s power is over 9000 years old? I’ve never heard this before lol…
      If someone did replace Yamamoto, it would be someone from the Royal Families e.g. Byakuya…

      Also keep in mind that Tite Kubo has drawn all the characters from the Royal Families, Royal Guards and I think Soul King too..

          I know you wrote this long ago.. But you are an idiot for thinking that. Byakuya is ALREADY in the 13 court and moving to head captain from captain would be a promotion.. You are obviously thinking it would be an insult as royalty to take such a position. But he is ALREADY just a captain in the same 13 court guards.. Duh!!!?

        The info above have not yet been showed anywhere, not the anime, not the manga. But in fact during one of Kubo’s interviews, he was asked about what’s likely to happen within the Final Arc. So basically, I’ll yeah, it’s likely to happen. A lot of it has already been showed within the Final Arc, but things like Aizen returning or Grimmjow coming back is likely to happen in the near future.

This may mean some new techniques of her, but I doubt it is a Bankai. Perhaps a little bit later, not this year. Undoubtly it will be awesome, I think her Bankai will be like Ichigo’s and Hitsugaya’s – involving changes in outlook of master of a sword. Something white, you know 😀

    Pretty good info. I’m hoping they tell Kenpachi’s story and give him a bankai. If Grimmjow returns it would be with Yami preferably since he’s still alive too. I recall reading somewhere that some Espada may return as shinigami. The Thousand Year Blood War sounds like something epic but the story at this point could go in any direction. Aizen returning seems likely but it’s more a matter of how they bring him back in my opinion. If this is the final arc they should definitely be answering those plot holes and use that as a means to introduce their new characters. If they start off with new people as a focus it could sour the entire story. Bleach writers always seem to build a great overall story with many characters, which is also one of my favorite points of the series. What if its like Ichigo is Yammato’s grandson or something haha.

      I also wanted Tite Kubo to come up with a story for Kenpachi… Fortunately, Tite Kubo wanted to add Kenpachi’s background story of how he become a Captain… But he thought it would make this final arc irrelevant…

      Hmm, im pretty sure that Grimmjow will return to be Ichigo’s ally, but not really sure about Espada’s becoming shinigami’s since they are hybrids of Hollows and Humans (I think)

      Ahah Yamamoto and Ichigo don’t really have any resemblance… Other fans are saying that Ichigo’s family was actually one of the Noble Families e.g. Byakuya Clans who were deeply respected until something happened… This could be explaining during Isshin’s Past…

          Yes very true! It’s still unknown how Isshin knows so much about Ichigo’s power or even knows so much about the past of Soul Society. Both Isshin and Urahara are so intertwined that they seem to know a lot of info. Plus Ginjo had a picture of Isshin, not sure what he meant by it, he never revealed what Isshin truly did. It’s a serious mystery that has to be told in this Final Arc!

        2. Ne3X7

          Well, he doesn’t seem to have used Final Getsuga Tenshou, because he’s still got his sr powers.

          I think he learnt this technique just to be sure he has something for a verrrry bad situation. Ace in the hole, in English, yeah?

          About serious cases Isshin survived in, I think one is his SS story. He was a captain, he has a zanpakuto. Now he’s in the human world and still has a zanpakuto. Just like Urahara! And Ginjo said, that they both have some deal Ichigo doesnot know about. We know, that Urahara’s story is connected with vizards, and we know, that Isshin was not a captain already, when Urahara came to SS Gotei 13. And we know, that Ginjo’s story happened after Urahara’s one. So, something must have happened in the real world with Urahara and Isshin, and Ginjo was somehow involved in it or heard about it.

          I doubt Ichigo has any connection to anyone in Gotei 13. Maybe the Royal Family or Noble Clans of the past.

          Yeah, about Royal family, it doesn’t exist. The King of Souls is a THING. Urahara and Aizen confirmed that in 309. I’m eager to see its outlook, it must be tentaklous XD

          1. nick dunn

            Well Urahara said Isshin regined his powers back. If he was a Captain of the Gotei 13 ( i believe was squad 10 ) then he must have been framed for something very bad like Urahara and Teesai. The Central 46 took his powers away and sent to the world of the living. And Jushiro was the one that gave Ginjo his Shinigami powers. But he strongly resembles the 7th Kenpachi, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi. He was squad 11 Captain about 250 years ago. I think Kuruyashiki and Ginjo are the same person. Cause the Gotei 13 said Ginjo killed so many Shinigami to strengthen his own powers. Kuruyashiki had a Bankai that has the power to absorb the soul of his opponents. The Royal Guard ask Kuruyashiki to become a member, but he said no. His Vice-Captain and the 8th Kenpachi, Azashiro Kenpachi defeated him and killed him. But i think he survived and became a human, aka Ginjo. Azashiro had a Zanpakuto was a element type and could form into nearly any type. His power was so dangerous, that the Royal Guard was ordered to defeated and capture him. None of there powers or abilities worked on him. But he was only defeated by Kendo. The Royal Guard member who defeated him is currently unknown. He was sentenced to the Muken, the 8th and final level of the maggots nest. In The Spirits Are Forever With You, 17 months after Aizens defeat, he was reported missing and escape from the Muken. Aizen said himself his Kyoka Suigestu has no effect against his powers.

      my prediction with zaraki kenpachi is this. i think just like with ichigo having multiple souls residing inside him ex zangetsu and his hollow. i believe zaraki will also have a hollow inside of him. if you recall his and ichigos first fight at the end when zangetsi said he would have to decide the outcome of the fight with a single blow and when they both started running to give the final blow a hollow mask appeared out of ichigos rieatsu and the same happened with kenpachi. or this is a long shot but i think its possible since no one really know much about kenpachis 2nd seat and he doesnt even know the name of his zanpaktou i think it could possibly be the lil girl hes always with his vice captain………

        Aizen’s Bankai was never shown, even it’s existence never confirmed. The absolute (perfect) hypnosis is his shikai, true power of the sword and is reveled with the special command, like shikai.

        Yoruichi (Yorouchi) said that all the captains except Zaraki have bankais. Later, 4 squad vice said Aizen sad shown his shikai and bankai to everyone in the SS, but we know, it was hypnosis and we know, that hypnosis is his shikai. So, we don’t know if Aizen has a Bankai.

For Urahara, it was Yamamoto, Restu, Yoruichi, and Ginrei. Aizen does have a Bankai, he just never needed to release it. We’ll all see it soon. We’ll see everyone’s Bankai. And Yoruichi’s and Teresa’s Shikai & Bankai. Kirio Hikifune too.

    I think this arc will be about the returning Quincy waging war against yamato. In the first manga chapter we see Ivan Adzigaro (who is a quincy) visit Ichigo and wage battle against him. We also hear about people who could destroy hollows from existance and remove them in mass…and i think i recall sumwer that the quincys could do this…this was why they wer exterminated, or rather we thought they wer exterminated. Basically, I think its about revenge. All these things of Aizen and vizards returning is just speculation, I hope they dont return.

Im kind of hoping that maybe his mother was a member of the Royal family.. I think that would be a good way to finish off the story.

    wow much data to proccess but many good storylines to look forward to… like Ichigo being human and … maby part of the royal line .. and what does that mean –or how his life will be different with the bloodline revealed.– and to see how the soul king has its role in the soul society and the human world will be neat to see etc. etc. neat show and will keep my eye out for the series to start. Ichigos sword has changes its look from the slim desighn to a a large one.. plus he supposedly gained the powers of the captains when he received there spirit powers thats interesting.

    On the topic of Grimmjow, I personally think that Ichigo is going to save him from quincies. After that Grimmjow would probably either dissappear again for a while or stay as a side (not allied with Ichigo but disliking him more for saving him), and then saving Ichigo at some point during one of his moments of sadness. Though I think Grimmjow will be staying in Hueco Mundo and never officially ally himself with any shinigami/visored/ect. Harribel on the other hand seems a little more likely, at least to the extent of wanting to hold piece between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society.

    As for Aizen, if he returns I think it will be brief, almost definately restrained. Possibly visited by Hinamori. For Kennys bankai, I’d say no. It would be great if he found out his zanpaktous name, but not achieve bankai, and seems a little more likely to me.

    Now to Ichigo, I’m sure Kubo will give him another huge buff form. They seem to really enjoy it, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. I’m hoping to see hollow ichigo in his spirit world again, and possibly turning the tables for Ichigo in a time of despair (possibly the same one Grimmjow saves him during, if that happens). And for his mom, I don’t think it would be to great of a stretch to assume she was a shinigami, or atleast had a relevant amount of spiritual power to where she could be effective against hollows to a degree.

    Side notes, I would love to see the Bankai’s that haven’t been reveal yet, and hope they make them worth having been hidden. Nel getting her older form back permanently and being aligned with Ichigo and his group seems likely to me. If something were to happen to Yamamoto, I’m sure Toshiro will get the place as head captain after some time passed, though I’m sure if Yamamoto ‘died’, he would come back later in the arc, just due to how strong he is. And to stumble back to the Aizen part, if the Soul King’s apperance is revealed, I think it might be in the presence of Aizen as well as Ichigo and any others.

      Most of what you had mentioned I agree with. Personally I also think that Grimmjow had somehow been captured by the Quincy and in a jail somewhere, because he may not want to be used as a pawn for the King. It would be awesome for Ichigo and Grimmjow to get a relationship going, possible like bros.
      It’s somewhat likely that he will be saved by Ichigo, and he’s going to hate Ichigo for a while, until he reaches a point where he saves Ichigo from a moment and helps him defeat some Quincy’s.
      Also I’d really like to see Ichigo’s awesome new Hollow Form because that would just be epic! It would blow my mind!!
      Possibly, now Hollow Ichigo has replaced Zangetsu, because Hichigo had told Zangetsu to teach him well or something during their first encounter… So hopefully now, Ichigo will dig from Hollow Powers!!
      Yamamoto dying is possible, but this would be best placed during the few last episode, because it would just make it so that there’s going to be another captain commander which may take over, basically making everyone think about it.
      Soul King is currently by top priority for Bleach, really want to have a peak of who or what they are. It’s possible somewhat related to the king of Vandenreich… We’ll just have to hope and see until it’s all ready to be released!

      Не русский, нет? Your English is very good 🙂

      Your thoughts are very close to mine And also to the truth I think, because your idea about Grimmjow is very original and Kubo-like.

      However, I can’t agree with your point on Hallibel, she’s tainted in the Vandenreich Jail and can’t team up with Ichigo immediately. Moreover, she seems to me the last one to join SS side in the war with Vandenreich. She hated shinegami, I think.

      I also doubt Aizen’s appearance will be short and not epic. I want him to come back in his full power. He might team up Ichigo. But he won’t be accepted by SS I think and will have to show his good side.

      For Ichigo, what do you think, can he gain quincy-power? From Uryuu’s father, for e.g. About hollowification, it must return, because Ichigo’s alter-ego was one of the bleach’s best attractions. @ Sunite, Hichigo never said so, he said that somewhen all Ichigo’s power will be his. But the idea is superb! It’s now my dream of Hichigo teaching Ichigo his techniques.

      Again straight to Czan, side notes are even better, than the whole idea. But I don’t understand, why everyone believes Hitsugaya will be the next Captain Commander. I think it will be Keoraku if he is alive to the moment 😀

        Good point. I dont get it either. Toshiro is powerful but he’s the weakest Captain and i do believe Shunsui will the the Captain-General. But about Halibel, she will join Ichigo when they save her, he saved her Fracciones from Kirge, and she carries about them so much that she would pay gratitude to Ichigo and join him, not the Gotei 13. She doesn’t like them, like the Vizards. Only fighting with them. Grimmjow too, he and Ichigo will be good friends. And no i dont think Ichigo will learn Quincy powers. But his Hollow Mask yes. And Aizen will never team up with Ichigo. He’s strong enough to be on his own.

      2. Czan

        For Hallibel I think you may be right, now that I think of it. She did have some big dislike for them, with Grimmjow being the bloodlust sort (not the best way to put it, but I’m half asleep haha…)

        I don’t doubt it will be epic when Aizen reappears, but I still believe it will be short. Perhaps SS will go to him for help, but thats a minor speculation I haven’t put much thought into either. I think they’ll try to avoid giving him a large role in this arc, even towards the end.

        I don’t think he has a chance of getting quincy powers, that seems just silly to me. But I could be wrong, maybe they’ll make him some middle ground of humans, shinigami, quincies and hollows. I haven’t been paying quite as much attention lately so I may have missed some signs suggesting otherwise.

        And for the whole Hitsugaya thing, that’s the main reason why I think he would be next. He’s not known for being the most powerful, so maybe he won’t appear as much as other captains throughout the arc, and come out alot stronger at the end. he has alot of potential, which is the main reason I think he’d be the Commander. I don’t think Keiraku (I have no idea how to spell his name) would take the position, even if it was offered. He seems to laid back, and like Starkk, probably wouldn’t want to be the top guy, even if power wise he was (not saying Starkk was, the attitude is were the comparison ended).

    My prediction are these:

    Quincies are going to invade soul society (which happened recently) and they’ll be killing the Shinigami as well as the captain commander, and on the run of fighting the Quincies, Captain Yamamoto will call all of the captain to fight with all of their powers, most of them will show their bankai and some will still hold back, but I wish Ukitate and Kyoraku to release their bankai, and how I wish I see Yoruichi’s zanpaktou, because of all this time she didn’t use any sword but in shinigami world it is required to have a zanpaktou, and another thing for Arrancar, maybe Aizen will appear with all f the other Espadas that’s all revived by him, like Yammy, Starkk, Barragan, Ulqiorra, Nnoitra and Zommari, I didn’t call the 8th and 9th because they died in the 4th movie of Bleach and on anime (little promo) as well, and with Aizen and espada they’re gonna take over Hueco Mundo once more but in the end Aizen is still in pain of being sealed so his power is cut off so the other Espada will go all out while Aizen finds the remaining parts of his plan, the creation of King’s key, and he’ll find he way to the leader of Vandreich and they’ll fight for it

    For Ichigo I think his new form would be likely Shinigami+Vizard+Fullbring+*new power and for Uryuu I find him being shocked of what’s happening in Hueco Mundo the invasion and the revival of whole Quincy clan and he’ll immediately call for his dad and his dad will tell him that the leader of Vandreich the King of the previous Quincy that has a connection with the Captain Commander of Soul Society, their once a partner in exterminating the hollows, but in knowing that Quincy’s way of killing hollow harms the balance of nature, Shinigami tries to exterminate the whole clan of Quincy and he’s now back for revenge for Captaiin Commander

    That’s how I see things, I don’t have the idea for Grimjjow that much but I want to see that Ichigo will see him sneaking in Vandreich headqurters and looking for some thing, somehow like that

    Like

    1. Sunite

      Your theory seems to be somewhat legit, but I presume that Aizen will not go back to controlling Hueco Mundo because he will be shown in restrains, because he’s got a 12,000 years jail sentence.
      The part about Uryu knowing the name from he’s dad seems correct because at this point, he will realize that Ichigo and the others are fighting a great enemy. Thus he will need to go back to Hueco Mundo or the Vandenreich’s HQ to help them out.

      Hopefully most of the Arrancar’s will come back. Specially Grimmjow!! Possibly, His Majesty had Grimmjow captured from before, and when Ichigo goes to capture Harribel, he notices Grimmjow also captured, so he helps him out. Grimmjow asks him why and they some intimate moment of them being friends and their fight being repeated a few times… lol

      As for Ichigo’s new power! Hopefully it’ll be something amazing! As you said, Shinigami+Vizard+Fullbring+New Power! Maybe, plus he’s Skull Clad form from the Hell Chapter! Hopefully, Ichigo will find a couple of amazing enemies such as Grimmjow and Ulquiorra which makes Ichigo train himself even more so he can beat them! FINAL ARC IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!

      1. King Hichigo

        well for Aizen I must say his power is yet to be revealed, so my theory has a great support, Aizen’s shikai alone can fake any thing so what if his bankai can do a lot more than just illusion, and Aizen sentenced doesn’t mean that he’s going to be there forever it’s way too unrealistic for me, maybe Soul Society will find a way to end his life rendering his escape because of some still faithful comrades around him.

        So for the espadas I must say there’s maybe a way to revived them or recreate them with Aizen’s hogyoku materialization is not impossible, so there’s a high possibility that he will revive them because they put up a decent fight with captains, or maybe he’ll create a new specie of hollow, way beyond the first batch of espadas.

        For Ichigo, I’m must say I’m more curious on what extension of power he can have, maybe Hichigo will make a big move now on taking over Ichigo’s body,
        and Ichigo maybe can do a power combining Tensan and Hichigo.

            Yeah, but it would be good seeing him going all out, like releasing bankai, maybe he’ll be more or less like Mukuro Rokudo of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, he’s the bad guy before but helping the main character now, but the difference is Aizen is only using them to finally create the king’s key.

            For Espadas I think it’s a very good idea if they all appear (I hope it happens)
            because if Kubo is planning to go all out of this last arc it might be good to see some familiar faces like them, Grimjjow is a cool guy but it’s also good to see some of them and looking out more for their past which was not made clearly, so maybe this is a big opportunity to create a big reminisce within the Espadas.

            I’m thinking that maybe Ichigo will also try to learn how to use Kido which I think is one of the essence of a shinigami, then further than that he can create a Kido like Urahara did which is cool to add with his power now, it’s good to see that he can explore more than just getsuga tenshou

                Yeah he’s not but Kido doesn’t give you the title of a shinigami it’s only giving you a powers not title it never been base on Kido on what shinigami are you, so givinh Ichigo a chance of having kido is a great thought for me.

    after that, ichigo will be still in confusion. then he will go to that place alone. only to find out that ishida also in the same way with him. then his company (like usual, rukia renji chad orihime) follow them after, after get help from other prisoner (like grinjow) and meet prisoner that quincy took from SS (if you know who i mean) ichigo realize that his mother is quincy. moreover, his mther is sister of uryuu’s father (make them as the cousin), and after his power of quincy unlocked, he will become the balancer of worlds (shinigami power, quincy power, hollow power, fullbringger power, human power) make him the only capable person to access royal world and power, which will lead him to the true enemy, that control aizen and the other conpiracy things to happen

      WOW that’s actually brilliant! Iv always had my straight forward way of thinking that Ichigo will fight the quincy and somehow go to the palace and defeat by destroying it. But the story you’ve mentioned seems to be able to combine a lot. Even the Royal Families also. Personally I think that Ichigo will fight and kill a few Sternritter, but however too much damage will have been made to Soul Society therefore the Royal Guards and Royal Families will have to show themselves and fight to help the Shinigami’s.

      Ichigo’s mother being a Quincy makes sense, although I’m not sure about it, maybe she lost her Quincy powers after fighting someone, just like Uryu did. Ichigo obtained dormant genes for the Quincy power which he needs to awaken which could be done when he goes to the Vandenreich HQ.

      It’s likely that Ichigo could posses all powers because he’s said to be the person who is unique from Aizen and someone else. So Ichigo could be this person. I personally think that Kubo’s story may somewhat follow your imagination but add a lot more worse parts because this Arc itself seems to be very VERY dark!! A lot of shinigami’s dying is just what this war is about! So I like the way you think! Very imaginative and out of the box!

      3: How would it work? Seeing as quincy’s use the power from without and soul reapers use the power from within, wouldn’t they just cancel each other out?

    Let’s Predict what would Grimmjow be like in his ressurecion form.
    Personally i think he’s gonna be like sphinx type or something.what do u say?

      Hmm, I’m not sure Grimmjow has a ressurecion form, because If I remember correctly only Ulquiorra has this form as he’s the unique of out them. Although It could be so that they do have a ressurecion form but haven’t yet showed it, like some captains hiding their bankais. And yeah, Sphinx style would looks nice on Grimmjow, but I think he would look better if his full form was enhanced into something even more epic, don’t really have anything in mind of what it could look like but Tite Kubo will surprise us with it!

    Just read the latest 500 chapter. What a cliff hanger! So many possibilities on whose katana it could be. Personally, I was vouching for it to be Aizen’s, but I know that possibility is quite small. It’ll most likely be a Zero Division member, judging by the expression on Urahara’s face. Or even Grimmjow 😉

    I’m also highly anticipating Unohana in action. There’s a fair degree of mystery that shrouds her character. I can imagine her being wickedly strong, seeing as she is one of the oldest Captain’s in SS.

      Agree!! It could be anyone! But someone from this conversation here: https://dailyanimeart.com/2012/07/10/ichigo-save-us-kirges-mystery-killer-bleach-500/ could be it.
      Hopefully we finely get to see a member of the Zero Division, hopefully it’s someone really amazing powerful seeing as they sliced Kirge up into 2! I’d like to see Grimmjow later on in the story, possibly 5 to 10 chapters later…

      She is the second oldest behind Yamamoto, she’s been by his side from the start, he’s structured everything and he’s awesome! Hopefully during this chapter, Yamamoto will die in front of Unahana, possibly reveal some shocking information like she’s the daughter of Yamamoto or something…

    I dont know why all you people want everyone to be gaining bankai’s. I mean I loved DBZ but hated all they just gave out SSJ when it was supposed to be the most prestigious thing for a saiyan to achieve. Also Zaraki should not gain a bankai. He’s powerful enough as it is and if he were to gain a bankai the series would end the same chapter because no one would be able to beat him(assuming he doesn’t see using bankai as cheating and it would take away all the fun of fighting for him)

And there was a female Stern Ritter with her hood on. And i think she’s going to fight Restu. And Buzzbee looks like he would fight Kensei. As Nodt is fighting Byakuya and Renji, Bambietta is fighting Sajin and Iba, Nanana is fighting Rose. Toshiro and Rangiku are fighting a male Stern Ritter with his hood on and a scar on his face. Soifon and Omeida are fighting a Stern Ritter who looks like a mid evil knight. I wonder who that blond Stern Ritter is going to fight. I think he might be ichigos Stern Ritter rival. Or maybe Uryus. I really want to see the Royal Guard. The only Captain that got premoted was Kirio Hikifune. I want to see her. And does anyone else think As Nodt is a girl? Cause i think she is.

Im still wondering what her “E” stands for. And Rose fighting Nanana. I have no idea what his “U” stands for. I still cant believe As Nodt used Byakuyas Senbonzakura Kageyoshi against him!!?? There medallions can use the power of the Bankai they stole! The only Captains i think that can hold a fight against the Stern Ritter without there Bankai is Yamamoto, Shunsui, Joshiro, Retsu, Zaraki, Shinji, Kensei and Rose. Cause of there masks. And maybe Mayuri cause he doesn’t completely relie on his Zanpakuto but his other uniquely current abilities. And Soifon cause she can use her Shunko and her current Onmitsukido abilities. She only uses her Zanpakuto to really kill someone. But that midevel knight looking Stern Ritter might use her Jakuho Raikoen against her. I do think Bambietta will use Sajins Kokujo Tenken Myo o against them. And Toshiro relis completely on his Zanpakuto so that hot looking Stern Ritter might use Daigurn Hyarimaru. I just hope there medallions can only steal one Bankai. Cause if they dont, there all fucked!!! :O

      Hmm U could be anything. Just being random, words such as Under, come up… possibly controlling gravity or something? lol I’m just making these up.

      Yeah it was pretty epic, I think he hasn’t used it yet, he’s just circulating it above him, then once he hits Byakuya, he will use Senbonzakura. It’s probably confirmed that they can use their Bankai however they want 😛

      Yeah agree with the list. Yama hasn’t even shown his Bankai so it’s likely to be awesome! Zaraki has no Bankai, the Ex-Vizard could use their masks, not confirmed if they still have it tho. Yeah agree with the Mayuri and Soi Fon, they are all powerful, but are too scared to face the Quincy because they know nothing about them…

      Personally I think the Stern Ritter’s will have to use their stolen bankai in order to defeat the Captains. The captains aren’t weak, they are strong and should be feared, so it’s likely that the only way to defeat them is to get their bankai’s by breaking the medallion …

      Haha yeah it seems that it can only hold 1 bankai, but im pretty sure that they have more then one with them..

    I think they can get there Bankais back by breaking there medallions. But that doesn’t mean once they have them back there going to win hands down. The Stern Ritter still have there Quincy: Vollstandig. From what we’v seen Kirge do in this form. Its equivalent to s Shinigamis Bankai and a Espadas resurecsion. I think there only stealing there Bankais so they can either kill them with there own power, or kill them with there Quincy: Vollstandig. And Shinji, Kensei and Rose do still have there masks. Cause there Vizards. Shinigami with mask. I dont think the soul society would have a cure for them. If Urahara couldn’t make one, then no one can. Plus i think they have a seal or something for using there masks. Plus Soifon fought against Barragon, who can age and rot people away! He was fucking scary! I dont think she would be scared of that midevel knight Stern Ritter. Whatever his power is. As Nodt was different cause she is “The Fear” who can manipulate fear of whoever is struked by her Spirit Weapon. And Mayuri was the first Captain we have seen that was almost killed by Uryus Quincy: Letez Stil. Nearly have his body was destroyed! You cant scare him easily. I think hes going to fight the Stern Ritter who’s controling Jidambo and others.

    Like

    1. Sunite

      Yeah they can, If i’m correct they can just reabsorb their stolen bankais and becomes theirs when the medallion has been broken. I think when Ichigo mentioned that the Quincy’s were afriad of Bankai, Kirge got really angry, so possibly the Stern Ritters are unable to defeat the Captains in their Bankai form because they are afraid of it’s great power… so their Vollstandig won’t do much against their Bankai’s.

      Yeah they may still have the mask, so maybe this will be an advantage to them. Haha yeah Barragan was awesome! She’s usually never scared, only in front of Yoruichi shes been scared.

      But with Mayuri, he has his different types of fighting, he can remake himself so he took chance of Uryu using his weapon. Plus Mayuri should have known about the Quincy’s and may have backed off a little.

      Personally, Mayuri may just be the background guy researching on how to stop them and how to get the control for the Bankai once more. It may be tough but its unlikely that he will fight a lot…

    Sorry i disagree. I personally think ichigo is stupid cause he doesnt even know Orihime loves him. Took him awhile to figure out Kirge was a Quincy. So when he said they fear Bankai, he was just being his stupid cocky self when he has a little advantage. I think the steal thier Bankai so they can kill them quicker. Quincy: Vollstandig is there back up if that doesnt work. Plus ichigo didnt even defeat Kirge. He cant even get out of the Reishi cage. Thses Quincys gave up humanity for power to face the Shinigami. Thats why were going to see everyones Bankai in this Final Arc. And Shikais that we havent seen. Plus there 26 Captain-level Quincys. Everyone is going to fight. The Vizards and the Espada that are left. Neliel, Grimmjow and Halibel.

    Go to Google and type in Shunpo or Sonido or Hirenkyaku. The first link will be from Bleach Wiki. Has all the info bleach. For some of them i guess based on what i’v seen in the Manga/Anime. I know Kokuto and Shuren dont use Sonido but they are sinners, which are Arrancars. Plus Kokuto and Shuren can fight on even grounds with Ichigo’s Tensa Zangestu’s speed. And Zaraki has no skill in Shunpo. But i’v seen him use lots of tells in the Anime. And Gin fought Ichigo useing Tensa Zanjutsu in even speed. So did Ulquiorra. Grimmjow did to but i think hes slower then Ulquiorra, Neliel, and Halibel. Personally i think Stark is the Fastest Espada, not Zommari. It looks like he teleports when using Sonido. And the Captain with the Fastest Shunpo is Soifon. She and Urahara can keep up with Yuroichi only when shes holding back. Yuroichi is the Fastest Shinigami in all history. Thats why i can’t wait to see her fight her Quincy opponent. She/He will have the Fastest Hirenkyaku out of all the Quincys. Hope the Quincys a woman. Cause full female fights are rare in bleach so i can’t wait! Shinji is the Fastest Vizard. He was the first to arive to save Hiyori from Hollowfied Kensei then the other who left at the same time. Plus he easily out menuvored Grimmjow. Barragon was able to douged all of Soifon’s Hakura moves. But couldn’t land a hit on her without useing his aging powers. Kirge’s Hirenkyaku is even with Ichigo’s Shunpo. But not his Tensa Zangestu’s. He could only counter most of his Speedy attacks. But not all. I only think As Nodt is a Hirenkyaku Master cause she was fighting Byakuya. Shunsuis’s Stern Ritter was able to douge a Shikai attack in mid air and appear right behind him. Im sure his speed is equal to Shunsuis’s. I only made Restu a Shunpo Master cause she’s bein around so long that she’s skilled with it like Shunsui & Joshiro. I bet the Vandenreich Leader is a Hirenkyaku Master.

    Im also guessing the Vandenreich Leaders powers. He can manipulate reishi so well is crazy. He killed Luders & Asguiaro with just pointing at them. Maybe control blood or the reishi in other spiritual beings like blowing them up from the inside. He can probably only do that to opponents way weaker then him. Not like Halibel. But he did defeat her with much trouble. And Halibel is strong, not even Toshiros most powerful attack Hyoten Hyakkaso was able to kill or even injure her. She was also able to fight off Toshiro using his Bankai Daiguren Hyorimaru, Hiyori using her mask and Shikai Kubikiri Orochi, and Lisa using her mask and her Shikai Haguro Tonbo at the same time. I hope ichigo and the others go save her sometime later. And i wonder what Neliel’s aspect of death is. And her resurresion Gameuza. The only attack she used was Lanzador Verde.

    If any is interested. They can look up on Google images for Kuruyashiki Kenpachi & Azashiro Kenpachi. Kuruyashiki was the 7th Kenpachi about 250 years ago. His Bankai has the ability to suck the soul out of his opponents. He was invited to be a member of the Royal Guards but he turned it down. And Ginjo is the first Substitute Shinigami. So im thinking either Joshiro, Shunsui or Restu have him his Shinigami powers. He was a good friend to both Shunsui & Joshiro. Even Got along with Restu. But when he died, it was when Shunsui started drinking cause nearly all his friends died. Only Joshiro, Restu, and Genryusai are left. Azashiro Kenpachi was the 8th Kenpachi 200 years ago, and he one who killed Kuruyashiki, but i think he almost did but he probably become human and then a Fullbringer. His Zanpakuto Uro Shauro, a water & rock materialized Zanpakuto with a fusion Bankai. He was so powerful, that the Royal Guards were ordered to take him down. None other techniques worked on him, he was defeated by only kendo. The opponent who defeated him is currently unkown. He was sent to the deepest part of the Maggots Nets called Muken.

During volume 1 spoiler takes place 17 months after aizens defeat. The Captains are all in a meeting and Soifon is reporting saying that Azashiro Kenpachi has disappeared from the Muken with a woman in a white kimono. Shunsui, Joshiro and Restu remember him as the 8th Kenpachi. Shinji, Kensei and rose remember him to cause they were seated officers at the time. (aka so was Urahara, Yoruichi and Teesai). And volume 2 spoiler is when Aizen gets the high level Bakuro Kido removed from his face, not the rest of his body. Azashiro came to Aizen with the woman in a white kimono. He wants to talk about his gain from the hokyoku gave him, the Arrancars he created, and how he found the First and last Espada. But mostly Azashiro wants to know how Aizen to lost his battle with Ichigo. Before Azashiro even asks, Aizen already knows who he his and saids His Kyoka Suigestu would have no effect against him. Dont really know why but thats all for spoilers. Just found out so i thought i could tell you and others who love Bleach like me. 😀

      Personally I think it’s a good thing that he doesn’t it means that his powers won’t be stolen using the medallion which the Quincy’s and Stern Ritters have. Although It would be nice to see him in action using his own Bankai, but it would just take too long for him… Although now he can keep on fighting without loosing his bankai 🙂

        True. Thats why those three Stern Ritter underestimated him cause he was just useing his Shikai. I dont want him to have a Bankai. Just want to know the name of his Shikai. It would be cool to see him have a Bankai. 🙂

          I’m sure Zaraki doesn’t even have a shikai, it’s just his sword. He has no Shikai or Bankai because he doesn’t even know his swords name. I think if he finds out the name of his bankai and shikai he’ll become a lot restricted to his shikai and bankai instead of just exploding out with his power!

          To get a Bankai it takes years of training, which is possibly for Zaraki but it would take very long time for this to happen, the only thing I think that will happen now is for Zaraki to learn the name of his sword as well as a few moves he could use against the Quincies.. Although it would be a damn good surprise to see Zaraki’s Bankai 😀

    Hey guys, new suggestion by me (maybe it would be better to put it here, because noone answers at chapter 502 conversation):

    Things even worse about Byakuya. My suggestion is that, when the new quincy kill (or nearly kill) someone, they take control over him (at least at his body). Proof is strange behaviour of Jidanbou and his eyes expression (they were empty).

    So, I think Byakuya Kuchiki was killed, but he’s now alive and under control of the Vandenreich! How do you like the idea? Is it better than him dead or worse?

    P.S. I’m finally here, reading all those comments, so many of them

      I like it better if he’s dead then being controlled. But i dont think they can manipulated the Shinigami. Only that Stern Ritter thats Controlling Jidanbou. And about NaNaNa, i think i figured out his codename. “U” stands for ” The Undead” He can bring back the dead of anyone that is hit by his Spirit Weapon. He’ll probably bring back the high ranking 3rd Division members and get them to attack Rojuro. Maybe even controlling anyone thats close to death like Izuru or Byakuya. That would suck ass! He kinda looks like a WitchDoctor, so his Spirit Weapon might be like a Vodu looking item or staff.

    About Issin… wasnt his captain’s uniform that of Squad 0’s? The royal Guard?
    I mean he showed up, didnt use bankai, and picked aizen apart with just his finger until Aizen changed forms. I cant remember exactly where i read it but i could have sworn his uniform was Squad zero’s, and a captain’s uniform nonetheless.

    My opinion? Issin was Captain of the Royal guard, and in a fierce battle was forced to use his Final G.T. In an effort to win, hence he lost his powers and went to the world of the living. And only recently his powers came back, which probably took a LONG time because uarahara wasnt surprised his powers came back.

      That could be correct for all we know, I remember Isshin fighting and busting his middle finger out at Aizen, but don’t remember his outfit.
      It could be true that he was previously a captain, if what you mentioned about him using Final Getsuga Tenshou being real then it could mean that Isshin himself has been absorbing Ichigo’s reiatsu little by little, at each point they have a fight, which seems stupid, but actually he absorbs it.
      This helps Isshin to activate his powers… could this be something??

    So many new developments recently, such as in the chapter 528.
    Masaki was a quincy, so that’s finally been confirmed, but she also introduced herself as ‘Masaki Kurosaki’ even before she was married to Isshin. So Isshin wasn’t a Kurosaki to begin with?
    That leaves room for doubt, could he be part of the Shiba clan? The uncanny resemblance Ichigo’ has with Kaein could be explained, but it’s rather incredible.
    I’m not sure what to expect now. Isshin told Ichigo that he(Ichigo) wasn’t a shinigami nor a human. I’m getting rather tired of all this, what is Ichigo exactly? Some super-shini-quincy-human-like-person? Also, what about his sisters, they should have something special about them too.
    And Masaki was known to have ‘healed’ Isshin, though this has nothing to do with anything. She must have just used a bandage and not something uber-fancy, but I momentarily remembered Orihime for a while. Fangirl moment, nothing serious 🙂
    I really don’t want Ichigo and Uryu to be related, their strong friends but, cousins? That’s just… weird.

      Haha xD He could be described as a True Blood, as mentioned by the Grand Fisher…

        Yay! I was right, Isshin was a Shiba! Now I am smug with contentment *smirk* And it’s rather cool how he was part of the tenth division, with Rangiku and Toshiro, it’s a good thing he isn’t a Royal Guard or nothing. That’s just too hypothetical, Isshin is a good ol’ captain like any other.

        And Aizen is back! *squeals* Honestly, the guy is the most admired villain of them all!

        lol your theory about Orihime’s power is quite intriguing, we’ll wait for Kubo-san to spill the beans soon.

        I am so happy Ichigo is actually related to Kaein. When you think about it, Kaein and Isshin aren’t so different, are they?
