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.
