Bleach 625 see’s Grimmjow, Nelliel, Riruka and Yukio all meeting up with Ichigo, he’s mad that he hasn’t been told the plan up until now. They planned on using what seems like Kyougaku in order to help them invade into the Soul Palace without even being caught, while this happens Yhwach seems to have fully absorbed the Soul King’s powers, but is he himself?
Bleach 625 begins as Ichigo and Grimmjow meet for the first time after Grimmjow was defeated. He steps out to talk to him, he takes his sword out to reveal it’s power. Ichigo also prepares to battle, however Nelliel appears behind Grimmjow. She quickly hugs him in order to greet him, Inoue is a little jealous of Nel.
Nel tells Grimmjow that if he wanted to fight, that he will have to get through her first. Out of nowhere a large black square appears where he quickly see Riruka and Yukio appear. They open the box and get back in there, locking the box. Yoruichi tells Ichigo that he’d like to explain something first.
He is pissed off that they didn’t tell him anything. They explain that using both Riruka and Yukio’s abilities, they can try and get to the Soul Palace whilst they’re hidden within the box. They can then go ahead and silently go in to take all of them down at once. The Stern Ritters sit down waiting for Yhwach to finish what he’s doing, he might just be finished.
An incredible chapter, Grimmjow and Nelliel have return, on top of which more Fullbringers are back, both Riruka and Yukio are back to help Urahara and everyone else defeat the plans by Yhwach. On top of which Yhwach seems to have completed his absorption plan, lets see what happens next in next week’s Bleach 626!

Grimmjow and Nel really got stronger if there going “take out the enemy all at once.” Yoruichi is smart and doesn’t exaggerate so I kind of believe her but we just have to wait now. Riruka and Yukio definitely won’t fight but are helpful. Glass of jelly is empty, No ! lolll Soul King

I liked this chapter..GJ being himself as usual and it was very pleasant to see Nel again she’s really pretty like a Meninas pretty not sexy like Candice/Tier. The fact that GJ wanted to fight ichigo while Yhwach was above them was pretty damn dumb and I Think GJ and Nel are equals mainly because of that shockwave or if he is indeed stronger than Nel then that is some fan hyped bs..I mean she should still be a league above him if she was able to fight and keep up with Nnoitra who was stronger than her at the time due to her injuries and leaking SP. She for one wasn’t scared of him lol so he could have gotten his ass beat but we have no idea who is stronger or if they both unlocked their full potential.. I expect them two to team up against someone but I think its a Quincicar Tier. I mean I can totally see that happening. It was nice to see riruka even tho I don’t really care for her like that but I do like Yukio and his dry humor lol. I need to see the missing shinigamis, HM arrancars and other sternritters like Candice and Meninas in order for me to actually be excited ???.

I do consider Neliel and Grimmjow somewhat equal. Grimmjow has more strength, while Neliel has more intelligence and I bet her Resurrection has a hax abilities. But ya I like that she isn’t the least bit intimidated by Grimmjow being his usual self. Man u love that Riruka and Yukio are back! They have some haxed abilities too, but Chad is clearly stronger than them, unless they trained too.

Ya that’s true. I actually believe she is stronger than him. That bracelet helps her stay on her adult form. The reason she becomes a child is because her Reiatsu leaks from her mask, making her weaker. That’s why Nnoitra was able to overwhelm her during their battle. Than when she used her Resurrection. Her Reiatsu leaked more and she transformed again. But with this weakness fixed, she can fight without getting weaker.

Yes, we’re in store for some epic battles. That being said, I don’t think the odds look too bad anymore. It’s more or less an even match between Ichigo’s squad: Yoruichi, Nel, Grimmjow, Chad, Orihime, and Urahara and the Quincies. I’m looking forward to a bunch of great 1 on 1 battles as well as some group ones.

I think the best part of this chapter was seeing what the elite sternritter do on their downtime. I always like seeing a group of villains together conversating instead of fighting. Grimmjow has definetly gotten stronger as demonstrated by his little shockwave when he unsheathed his sword (reminds me of when kenpachi did a similar thing with his sword against nnoitra). I lol’d when grimmjow, as hot-headed as always, said that numbers are meaningless since aizen is not around (guess he didnt get the memo that aizen has returned…i wonder what he will say to him). grimmjow also tried to do the same thing against ulquiorra. I hope we get ginjo and the others soon as well as a isshin and ryuken. Im also curious about Love’s bankai.

He just contradicted himself? Man, not smart at all. Two, Orihime is jealous of Nelliel, and Chad has to tell her Nel isn’t doing anything like that with Ichigo and Kisuke wanted to help her fight. Three, the Vally of Screams is from the first Bleach movie, and it’s cannon like Hell.

For some reason i suspect that grimmjow is stronger than Nel. I dont know but i have a feeling he has been training more intensely than Nel has. Grimmjow was able to stall ulquiorra for a short period and i dont think nel could hold off ulquiorra for too long. Still nel probably has gotten stronger too so the difference in power level between grimmjow and nel should not be that considerable.

First of all, i really enjoyed this chapter, mostly coz Neil enjoyed in, 2nd i think that conversation btn grimmjoww & Neil somehow proved the point that neliel is still stronger than Grimmjoww, thats y she had the nerve to even boast about it & grimmjoww somehow killed it with “sarcasm” numbers dont really matter since Aizen isnt around(not that numbers dont matter coz he is stronger) atleast thats wat i understood, Fullbringers showing up in this one was abit of surprise thou, it seems like Kubo is now working on giving fan service since most people wished that they would join in the party, All in all, if i wanted someone to show up in this arc who so far hasn’t shown up most of all it would be “Ryuken”, he has a major part to play in this war & so far, he hasnt shown up till now even thou everything is about to fall apart…
& trinin, about what u said about Kubo making “Yhwach” more & more powerful even thou we havent yet seen the full extent of his base power without the fusion with the Soul king, i totally agree that this somehow will make his defeat abit of mockery considering the fact that he was basically powerful than everyone else even without his fusion with mimihagi & the Soulking, & to be frank, he wasnt looking like the power greed type considering the fact that he was powerful than everyone else even without the use of his Vollständig or Yamamoto’s bankai, to think that someone like yhwach will be defeated with all the power he has now or with a reason such as he absobed to much power than he can handle its just cheap, unless Kubo has other ideas, i have a feeling that his defeat will come more like how Aizen defeat cam in karakura town, which i personally find it cheap that Aizen, one of the most composed individual suddenly lost his cool in the very end that it almost seemed has thou it wasnt him, considering the fact that he knew the extent of Ichigo’s potential, but since the bad guy had to be dirt with, he was defeated, i jst hope we wont have this repeation, a villain going down easily simply bcoz one way or the other has to go down without seeing the actual effort needed considering the fact that yhwach is now basically invisible & godlike..

I personally think Nelliel is stronger than Grimmjow. We haven’t seen her go all out, and during her battle with Nnoitra, she was just playing with him and selling losing Reiatsu. I believe this chapter did clarify that Nelliel is stronger, sense she isn’t the least bit intimidated by Grimmjow. I think at full power, Nel can fight on even grounds against Ulquiorra, but lose to Harribel. With Yhwach, Josephia and Trinin I liked both your thoughts on him. Its true he was already stronger than anyone else with just his Schrift. But now I think he absorbed the Soul King to replace him, and create a world he sees ad peace, and I know for a fact the Quinccar are part of it and I bet some of them with show up. He was able to create a being that is both Hollow and Quincy without dying, but using the Shinigami side of the Arrancar’s soul as a bridge to separate the two different souls. Also, didn’t anyone notice Lille giving Uryu a cold stare? He clearly doesn’t trust him after what he did before. He saved Ichigo a third time by firing his Heilig Pfeil at him instead of Lille’s. That’s how Ichigo was able to catch the arrow and crush it, although he did bleed. I doubt Ichigo can catch Lille’s bullet Heilig Pfeil, and he would have to block it with his Zanpakuto.

Josephia, i agree that ryuken definetely needs to show up soon considering that he is a quincy despite his preference that it isnt profitable to be a quincy. He also hates shinigami. He is pretty powerful so I wonder which side he will choose: will he go against his son or against the shinigami and isshin? I also agree with you about yhwach having too much power but it appears that yhwach might have a weakness by absorbing too much power causing him to become unstable.

I’m pretty sure Ryuken will go against Yhwach..him and uryu will have their moment because I really do believe that Ryuken cares about his people unlike Yhwach. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if the other shinigmai captains make it to the RR and Later on Kubo have Ryuken and Isshin to show up with the other sterns who didn’t show up like Candice, Meninas, BG9, and Shaz? With him. That would make a little more sense as to why they weren’t shown with liltotto. BUT who knows man..I do think Yhwach will die from his own power because the Almighty should only be killed by the Almighty lol.

I’m not sure Ryuken will be with the other Sternritter, but you know never know. I do believe he will be with Isshin and Tessai. I just think their are way too many good guys. I have a feeling more enemies will show up, and Liltotto, Bazz-B, and Giselle is be convinced by Jugram. Cause they are not allowed with the Shinigami, they are just gonna help them get up to the Royal Realm, once they all get up their, they will be enemies again.

I don’t see it..I think Yhwach has Kore back up. Like I said we have yet to see more Quincicar and I think Tier will be leading them. The Royal Guard will probably have to serve Yhwach as he will be the new SK. This man still has Yama’s Zan which can resurrect corpses..I think everyone should look at the bigger picture. The good side doesn’t have that many strong people. Sure you have Urhahar(?), Aizen(?), Mayuri(?), Shunsui, Kenpachi, Byakuya, Rukia, Renji, Bazz, Lil, Gigi, GJ, Nel, Yoruichi, Ichigo..I’m not sure about Orihime and Chad. But you have a shit load of Lt’s and non ranking captains going up against Yhwach, Blondie, Uryu, Lile, Gerard, Pernida, Askin, RG(Positive), Quincicars(Positive), and Yama’s Zan( Possibly more enemies). We don’t even know when or where isshin, tessai and ryuken is at. But do y’all really think Ryuken will join Yhwach ?. I put ? Marks on Urahara, Aizen, and Mayuri because I believe these people have something else stored but we don’t know if they are doing evil or good.
LikeLike
Well that’s just what I think. Like I said, Liltotto, Bazz-B, and Giselle are in way over their heads. I love their courage and effort, but it’s pointless. And they will not be helping the Shinigami fight Yhwach, they want to fight Yhwach By Themselves. They will not be with the Shinigami. Ya’ll need to understand this is a treaty so to speak. They will not fight in the Serietei, but in the Royal Realm you never know. And again with Yamamoto’s Bankai, he was able to resurrect the Quincy he has killed, while Yhwach said he can resurrect the Shinigami he has killed. He cannot revive Quincy he hasn’t killed. So the only Quincy he can revive are Royd Lloyd or Asguiaro Ebern and Luders Friegen. I just think this Sternritter Rebelion is pointless.

That’s the whole point of me saying that he has yama’s Zan so we don’t know who yhwach has killed except for Yama. The whole point of them rebelling is that they were wronged..that is a real reason. I don’t see how people will fight for someone when that said person fucked them over and left them for dead?? Like that person must be very weak minded students overall a weak person. Yes we know that they said they wanted to kill Yhwach themselves but let’s just see how this plays out. They still have a shit ton of folks to get through in order to see him personally. I see a lot of deaths but we’ll see.

Ya that’s true they were wronged and they do have a good reason. But come one these three don’t stand a chance against any of the Schutzstaffel. I just think it’s pointless and they will die for nothing. We will see what happens. I see way too many people fighting the Schutzstaffel. Plus the Royal Guard are definitely coming back, so that makes it even harder for the Schutzstaffel. And they will not help anyone else. For example, if Rukia, Renji, and Mayuri were being attacked, you think Liltotto, Bazz-B, and Giselle will help them? No the won’t cause they are not allies.

You missed the point on the RG one. I think they will have to fight for Yhwach. If this man is to become the new SK or something similar and if its their job to protect this entity then that is what they’re going to have to do. I feel like it’s going to be more controlled based like something similar to Zombieshiro but without being zombified. I don’t see how this would not happen..plus we don’t even know their true abilities nor the names of the zans besides Tenjiro and supposedly Oetsu but this gives a more balanced playing field. I see them assisting Yhwach being forced to fight for him. Gives more possible fight outcomes.

If the Royal Guard help Yhwach, than the good side is fucked. How can the good guys take on that many powerful opponents? Yhwach is the new Soul king, instead of the Royal Guard serving Yhwach, it’s way more likely that Yhwach will make his Schutzstaffel his Royal Guard. I doubt the Soul King controlled the Royal Guard like that. Remember, apparently the crystal like substance around the Soul King was a seal done by the Shinigami for some unknown reason. They will come back and fight the Schutzstaffel. They are not dead.

I always assumed that the royal guard were protecting the soul king because without him everything will be destroyed but if the soul king is indeed trying to destroy everything (in yhwach’s case) then i suppose the royal guard may have to seal him instead of killing him. Hey what if that is what is going to happen: yhwach ends up getting sealed because ichigo or someone uses a power to make yhwach weaker and mimihagi ends up taking over so that he could be sealed? This sounds very similar to what happened with aizen. Maybe urahara (aka plot device) will create a new seal with the help of the royal guard? man, so many theories that i have….???

That’s so true man! Although I have a strange feeling that Yhwach is good in a weird sense that he is trying to change the universe in a good way.
