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!!

On another note. Bleach has been doing really well in the Toc Rankings.
This week and last week it ranked in the top 5. This is a huge improvement compared to how it ranked always in the bottom 3 for the fullbring arc.

Agree, and it’s the first time I’ve heard about Toc Rankings, looked it up and yeah, Bleach has been doing well in the past two weeks! With all the awesome new Zero Squad stuff, it’s been really interesting! Plus, unlike Naruto, Bleach is on the verge of blowing my mind lol, there is so much we don’t know that Kubo is currently telling/showing which is awesome 😀 Naruto on the other hand keeps on prolonging and such… the thing about perfecting the Ten Tail’s stage is bs

Completely agree with you, the author of Naruto has missed his timing, he’s trying to make it all awesome but he’s missing the point, and as you mentioned, he’s making it too long which for me, its frustrating because it’s pissing me off… Lol yeah I might need to check One Piece out soon, possibly when I get time…

Well. I’ll give you a brief explanation of the ToC rankings. Every week, the manga chapters are ranked. It’s crucial for relatively new and pretty new series since it shows how popular it can be or can’t be. IF a series is constantly ranked in the bottom 3, there is a huge chance that the series can get cancelled. For example, if Toriko didn’t do well in it’s initial weeks, then it would have been cancelled. So Toc rankings are very important when you take relatively new series in context. Series like Bleach, Naruto, One Piece won’t get cancelled like that cause of their huge fanbase.
About the ranking now. The chapter that was ranked in this week’s list was not 519 but 512. Next week’s ranking will show which position chapter 513 was ranked in. 519’s ranking will be shown 7 weeks from now.
The fullbring arc was a low time for Bleach. Most of its chapters ranked in the bottom 5 or below the top 10. However, ever since this arc began, that rank has been slowly rising. For the past 2 -3 months, bleach has constantly ranked in the top 10 while for the past few weeks it’s been in the top 5. So it shows how people are liking this arc and think its interesting.

You learn something new everyday. I kinda figured anime and manga had a rating system. Thank you for confirming and explaining the Toc Ranking system. I’ve come across so many anime that have been cancelled during their early stages. Some of which were pretty good, but it’s tough when you’re pitted against anime like Bleach during their popular seasons, like the Arrancar arc, or Naruto Shippuden during Pain’s reign of terror culminating in his defeat to sage mode Naruto.
I’ll be looking up the Toc Rankings from now on. Thanks again.

That is very interesting, I knew something like this existed but never searched for it, that’s why even awesome anime’s getting low ranks here can destroy it, but ultimately it’s a nice ranking system to have, even though it can be somewhat destructive to fans who like a type of anime.. Personally, the Fullbring arc was a nice addon to the Bleach world, even if Bleach itself lost quite a lot of followings at that point…

LikeLike
Zero Squad. Aizen is very powerful. Hes stronger then nearly all the Gotei 13 Captains. Except Shunsui, Jushiro and Restu of course. Zaraki seems like Aizens equal in my point of view. Juha wanted Aizen to be one of the Special War Powers of the Vandenreich cause he has strength to turn the war. But the Zero Squad is much stronger then him. The only Shinigami that was so powerful that the Zero Squad had to defeat was 8th Generation Kenpachi, Soya Azashiro. Something also tells me Juha has a extremely powerful group of Quincy that are more powerful then all the Stern Ritter nd Jagdarmee combined. Who are also going to rival the Zero Squad.

Actually, I think Urahara analyzed it before Kirinji became a Zero Squad member, back when they were both in the SS. Remember, Kirinji trained Retsu to be a medical specialist and that was before the Zero Division.

Im thinking Kirio was the one that brought Kisuke to the Palace. Cause he became squad 12 Captain when she got Promoted. Maybe to meet the Soul King and tell him how Kisuke managed to achieve Bankai in 3 days. Kirinji and Restu are very old and Kirinji was probably one of the first Gotei 13 Captains like Restu. And yeah he did teach her impressive healing techniques but remember Restu did save Hiyori from death after being cut in half from her waist by Gin. And she even restored Ichigos Reishi have his fight with Ulquiorra. So i think Restu in some ways is better at healing then Kirinji. Just with grevious injuries she can handle hands down. Just with Byakuya, Rukia and Renji having there Reishi slowly leaving there bodies was out of her hands.

Nope. The massacre was 250 years ago. There were basically 2 battles with quincies that have been brought to our attention. One is the extinction of the quincies over 200 years ago and the other is the war that was fought a 1000 years ago. My guess is Urahara was present in the war that was 200 years ago and that would have also been when he saw the soul king. It’s possible that it’s when Isshin and Masaki met or fell in love.
