Bleach 569 reveals Rukia’s Bankai! Her White Mist Sentence Bankai (or Hakka No Togame) is spectacularly massive! Before this, Byakuya enters and distracts As Nodt as he’s the one who wanted to fight him first. Byakuya tells Rukia that she is now strong and formidable, thus he lets her handle As Nodt who has transformed out of his skin and into a larger beast.
Bleach 569 begins as Byakuya enters while As Nodt mentions that he’s been waiting for him to return. He mentions that he had eviscerated his entire stomach, it must have been hard for him to keep his food down. As Nodt mentions that he looks a little thin, maybe he’s gotten a new diet.
Rukia shouts that he must escape all eye contact from him at all times. While As Nodt mentions that it’s too late. Out of nowhere Byakuya’s Senbonzakura appear and cut all the different eyes around him. As Nodt is shocked to see this, Byakuya mentions that he was about to say the same exact thing. As Nodt mentions that he has a magnificent Bankai to do such things.
Byakuya is confused that he thought it was his Bankai. Byakuya mentions that he has not used his Bankai, in fact he’s been using his Shikai all this time. Byakuya explains that whilst he stole his Bankai he decided to recommit himself to Senbonzakura and analyse it meticulously, he took a few steps back and appreciate and understand the larger picture. He had forgotten this, for this he thanks As Nodt!
As Nodt begins to quickly split in half and transform into some kind of creature. He repeats the words that death is too easy for him, he shall send him to the murky depths of fear and despair and keep him there for the rest of his life until he wishes he would be better of dead. Byakuya mentions that during his way there he could sense her reiatsu, she has truly become formidable he mentions to her.
Rukia is happy that Byakuya has finally acknowledged her strength! He mentions that fear does not simple arise from nothing, the slightest bit of uneasiness or panic can cause fear, and now she has nothing to fear. As Nodt transforms into a large creature which is just like his old form but he looks even more hideous, he mentions that the end is nigh calling Byakuya.
Byakuya then mentions that may very well be but he will not be the one to bring him his end. Rukia gets ready while As Nodt thinks that it’s some kind of joke. Byakuya tells Rukia that what he’s emanating is not fear, he mentions that what As Nodt has on his face is his own fear. Rukia enables and releases her Bankai! White Mist Sentence (Hakka No Togame) which creates a massive white haze in the sky covering hat certain area! Bleach 569 ends here!
A crazy chapter and we’ve finally confirmed Rukia’s Bankai! This is awesome and crazy to see that Rukia over the time she was without Ichigo had developed her own Bankai and it certainly seems to be one to look with awe as it’s such an awesome one! Can’t wait to see next week’s Bleach 570, to see a dead As Nodt!

Byakuya was never going to defeat him or kill him, as of now byakuya will be one of the main party to fight the final battle and am sure his Bankia is goin to be awesome. Now we need Kenpachi and a few captains. But am sure we will see the fulbrings first then Ancars then the captains

Something like that should be awesome, I’d like to see Zaraki first, possibly him and his Bankai talking and all. Would be awesome to see, can’t wait. Also the battles are about to restart once more after the sun goes up.

wow is this realy happenin rite before our eyes. rukia finally has a bankia but im not sure that will change my perception of her as a weak soul reaper who always needs to be saved. well will see if that change. byakuya is in hes own league now. his current shikai is much more stronger that his previous bankai. atleast now i know he still hold a caddle against zaraki. ichigo will be the last one to arrive, to save the day. haha the thought that zaraki will be fighting alongside his sword and relying on it for power for power has not yet ring a bell in my mind. its unlike zaraki, i wish he got a very stubbon and ignorant sword that will always argue with him even during battles.

If Kubo wants to keep Zaraki’s like he’s always been he will do him service, if Zaraki changes it would either be for bad or for good, highly depends on what Kubo wants to accomplish with Zaraki. I want him to come out already, I want to see/read/hear his Bankai!

Thats true. All those posts on tumblr about Zaraki not needing a bankai. I never believed that. The minute Royd Loyd defeated him made my opinion correct. Most likely Zarakiz Zanpakuto does not like him cause they never connected in like 900 years. But I never considered Zaraki arrogant. I also still have faith that Retsu is alive. So whatever happens in the morning inside the Shadow Region, Zaraki will probably fight Yhwach in my opinion .

Good god yes! I still find it hard to believe he’s somewhat human sense Quincy are human. His Vollständig reminds me of Mayuri. Cause Mayuri has all those unique abilities from experimenting on himself. As is a freaking cannibal if I’m not mistaken?! I remember when he stabbed Byakuya in his stomach during the first invasion, but I didn’t expect him to take his stomach out and eat it? God and his Vollständig looks like a body from the morgue or something.

Well I just thought As looked dead to me. But hey you know more :). I am really glad Rukia will deafeat As. Her Bankai looks very big and pretty. Kinda reminds me of Chojiros Electric Bankai. Cause his is a giant lighting pillar. So maybe her Shikai is more dangerous to use than her Bankai? After this fight a really want to see Rukia fight her first Stern Ritter rival. I think NaNaNas Spirit Weapon is his goggles he wears, sense he said he observed Renji for a while. Hope Renji doesn’t get his ass beat too much.

hey guys here is an interesting question about rukia’s bankai. do you think it’s goin to change her appearance like ichigo and renji’s bankai? and what would that appearance realy mean to her abilities. for example ichigo clothes in bankai form are his spiritual pressure. and aslong as his spiritual pressure is still at maximum level, his clothes don’t tear easily and also if his clothes are torn, it means his spiritual pressure has drop down. after all its only renji and ichigo’s bankai that change their appearance, so since rukia is also part of the renji and ichigo team, it makes alot sense that kubo should make her bankai altar he clothes. man if it does changes her clothes she will be having the most gorgeous bankia ever.

Before she unleashed her Bankai we see a hint of her bankai look. I think like her Bankai herself, the arc where they were materialised, I’m sure it will be similar to that look, although not exactly that, but more of a snow-type look.
Appearance I think wouldn’t do a lot to her Bankai, just that it’ll be an amazing Bankai to see and powerful of course.
Ah yes you’re talking about Ichigo, yes that correct when I think we involve his Bankai. His Shikai is different to this matter (I think). I also think that she will, mostly like snow white who is usually supposed to look like a princess and such, she will and many fans will adore her look.

Her Bankai could change her appearance. Sometimes they do, but mostly they don’t. Her Bankai seems to me in terms of beauty would be her Bankai itself, rather than her. Sense it looks like a giant pillar of white. Like Chojiros Lightning Bankai. It it a giant lighting pillar that doesn’t change his appearance.

i think its great that byakuya z more powerful, he has always been a great guy,ws sad wen he gt his ass beat all that iis left is for him to kill a powerful sternritter , i dont believe kenpachi will rely on his sword, unless it overpowers him and intervenes like hollow ichigo used to do,i hope he will learn some new kick ass moves,i hope we finally gt to see Yoruichi s zanpakuto n her bankai, as well as shunsui,jushiro,shinji,n urahara ,i wonder if her bankai adds to her already insane speed

Hollow Ichigo and Zaraki are differet, Zaraki does not have Hollow and thus there isn’t much that can intervene his power unless the Zanpakuto decides to not give him power. I’m sure he will learn some awesome new power or move! 😀 I think Kubo has planned well to show us all their powers and moves in order.

Once he learn the name of the zanpakuto, I’d think the sword will look the same but just look brand new and not worn out and dulled up. However if it did stay dull and worn, I’d think that the zanpakuto is even more badass that it’s a rough and extremely dangerous type of power that is not clean, but in fact something that is rough and ready to kill!

that’s a scary thought. I would not want to meet Zaraki if that was the case. but for me I think ichigo’s zanpakutou zangetsu(hallow ichigo) is well suited for Zaraki’s personality and fighting skills. just imagine if hallowichigo was Zaraki’s sword. they would be well suited for each other since they somehow share the same characteristic. so I’m just hoping that whatever his sword turns to be, it will have some good sense of humor. lastly I’m kinda disappointed on kubo, cos everytime when there is a serious battlel he only use weak soul readers to use kindo to attack their opponents, for example rukia in most cases. I want some1 with high lvl spiritual pressure to use kindo for a change, I hope ichigo learn some kindo also

Well I just think he will because when the Quincy die they their souls to Yhwach, making him stronger. I can’t think if any opponent yet that Zaraki wouldn’t want to fight. Zarakis Reiyoku is probably at Senior Captain level now, so Jugram can fight Zaraki.

Zaraki will challenge his zanpakutou, that’s the type of person he is. Thus he will bond with it. If he defeats it am sure the Zanpakutou will obey him as with itchigo and the hollow. It’s the only form of training to quickly learn for Zaraki to wield the zanpakutou.
We need to see Ishinn Bankia, but after all these battles it looks like they did not go full power on aizen at all.

Maybe. I mean I still think Zaraki needs help from Retsu. Sure he defeated her in battle and his Zanpakuto woke up because it was extremely impressed by his accomplishment. Plus Retsu is really the only I think can help Zaraki become one with his Zanpakuto. I mean she did create the art of killing, something that makes a shinigami truly strengthen themselves and there Zanpakuto.

i agree wit u on that,i still think that his zanpakuto will nt reveal all its power at once, baby steps coz kenpachi z still new to this concept of his zanpakuto being his partner rather than merely a tool, but knowin him,he will probably excel at his training,acquiring both his new shikai n bankai,personally i think he is training with retsu as we speak and both if them will appear at the final fight n finally gt to see retsu in action,wats your take?
