[v.13.5] Bleach Manga/Anime Discussion Thread (Warning: Spoilers)

The skeleton effect in 526 was that from what? And I'm wondering if there is more meaning behind "bring down the curtain."dancingbeatle

Unohana's bankai.

Bleach Wiki updated the info. 

"Bankai: Minazuki (, "All Things' End"): When released the blade of Unohana's zanpakut exudes a thick, dark substance that that entirely covers the blade and flows from it with relative ease." 

DOESN'T EXPLAIN MUCH FOLKS! *smh* Unohana not dead and I know it. 

Like I'm figuring if she was, than why would her shikai heal and her bankai wouldn't? :?dancingbeatle

Well zanpakutos in part reflect one's nature, and in this since Minazuki would be reflect the duality of her nature, namely that there is a genuine side to her that is a motherly and caring healer to all, whereas the bankai can reflect the side of her that is brutal and hungry for battle.

Plus, we've only very briefly seen both bankai and shikai, this is not necassarily all they can do, perhaps there is a damaging side to her shikai, and perhaps there is a healing side to her bankai.

I have a feeling she's like Yamamoto when it comes to changing her zanpakuto abilities or form.

Bleach Manga Chapter 528 Spoiler

WOW! Let's GO! 

It's here! LET'S GO! Bleach Manga Chapter 528 

Looks like I called it, than the family takes the mom's last name. So what is the dad's real last name?dancingbeatle

I'm just waiting for the next part to happen. When we find out that Ichigo, Karin and Yuzu are cousins to Uryuu. dancingbeatle

That's only another guess of mine. What's my record now? Or maybe the old man quincy is like the dad or grand dad to Masaki. dancingbeatle

And Aizenrocketfox129

[QUOTE="rocketfox129"]And Aizensfkm2

That's what I meant, as you say, from his comment that he's known about Ichigo since he was born. And with how they regarded each other during battle, it seemed like Aizen and Isshin have a history.

Because, by Isshin's logic, it wasn't the right time for him to know then, whereas apparently it is nowrocketfox129

Well heck, Aizen still mind fooled him later. 

Knowing Kubo, this is probably all part of Aizen's plan :Procketfox129

Yeah. The confusing logic. Like this picture here. 

Bleach Manga Chapter 529

So the time is now set and we got our answer. 

Isshin didn't know anything about Aizen or Kisuke until that "the incident" which will happen in the next chapter or two.

Yep, Ichigo and Kaien are cousins explains why they look alike. Also I was right about the dad having lead 10th squad. Wait so it's not really his sword? Zaraki I mean? dancingbeatle

I suppose, if you want to get technical from that guy's explanation, nobody's sword is completely their own. But granted, judging from that, Zaraki took his from someone else.

Then, I don't agree with him. You know why?

*points at Yamamoto*

Explain that and I know damn well he couldn't defeat Yamamoto.I still say it's questionable to what he is saying.

I don't think he needs to be stronger than the Old Man, he simply invented the things, Yama could have still used them to achieve his own abilities.rocketfox129

[QUOTE="rocketfox129"]I don't think he needs to be stronger than the Old Man, he simply invented the things, Yama could have still used them to achieve his own abilities.sfkm2

Not necessarily, it's possible this guy invented the Asauchi and then Yamamoto was the first to attain his zanpakuto powers through them. Then his would still be the oldest by the more standard zanpakuto standards. Also possible that they meant the oldest still living at the time they mentioned it, meaning some could have gained it before Yamamoto but have since died. If we get very technical, I believe their comment is the oldest in soul society meaning maybe there his is the oldest, but perhaps elsewhere (for instance, the royal palace, since it is it's own dimension and not soul society) there are those that are older. Maybe the characters were simply wrong in their statement also, in that they thought it was the oldest, but perhaps this is just simply untrue. And, of course, there is every possibility this is simply a continuation error in the writing, it wouldn't be the first manga to have one.

Just thinking of a few possibilities that might explain it.

Do Rangiku and Toushirou know that Ichigo is Isshin's son?dancingbeatle

Bleach Manga Chapter 530

No chapter nxt week. Bleach is on break.

I wonder who that was?
