The Official BLEACH series Thread

Yeah, as I've already told Aura, I'm going to have to agree with Astner.

This chapter was good, people are just being mindless haters. 👆

I too liked this fight. It was nicely insane.

Also seeing Ichigo being shat on is always fun. 😆

The second half was fine but Unohana's death was lame and Kenpachi really did nothing to get his swords true name. Way to grow as a character.

So I'm still stuck on Unohana dying and having a lame bankai release that is almost as lame as Gin's. Though I like how Kyoraku has no problem letting the best healer kick the bucket while Hinamori got a sparkly new heart when she got stabbed.

Oh, her Bankai is way worse than Gin's. Her bankai turns her sword, an already deadly weapon, into a sword with acid on it. Doesn't make it any easier to hit thing, she's just got acid on it to make stuff melt. Kido could do that. At least Gin's had added speed, length, and poison.

Oh...I though that the blade turned into acid instead of just having an acid coating. That is lame.

But is SS really going to let Unohana die because of the whole "There can be only one" thing that the Kenpachi's have?

Instead of sticking around to fight with Zaraki and the rest of SS, this goofy ass broad let herself be killed because of some stupid made up rule.

I hope she and Yama both go straight to hell for being morons.

And that rule is really stupid in the first place. Soul Society was doing fine with two Kenpachi's before. And hell if Kenpachi means the strongest and there can be only one then Yamamoto was pretty definitively the only true Kenpachi. Does he not count?

Yamamoto was never a Kenpachi it seems. Oh and why doesn't Unohana just heal herself? I mean sure she was stabbed in the throat but that's a flesh wound compared to what other characters have suffered.

I wonder now that Ichigo has to go home if he's finally ask someone what the **** is going on: and hopefully somebody with give Ichigo and the audience a straight answer.

hopefully we get an Isshin flashback.

Zaraki wasn't really a Kenpachi by anything other than name since the first hadn't been defeated.

No, because the title of Kenpachi can only be attained through the defeat of the previous Kenpachi.

Apparently they did count Kenpachis 2 through 10 too.

I guess they didn't count Unohana while she wasn't fighting, but when she fights again the 'there can be only one' rule comes back into effect.

But Kenpachi did beat Unohana, didn't he? When he was a kid?

Man in hindsight I really do hate the fact that Kenpachi got his swords name. Look back at his fight with Ichigo. Zangetsu notes that Kenpachi has been deaf to his sword and relying only on his own power. So he loses(for purposes of the story his battle is considered a loss even though it's more of a draw) and humbles himself, asking his sword what it's name is.

Wouldn't the battle have been a good time for Kenpachi to ask his sword what it's name is? Unohana was a clearly more powerful opponent. He was beaten handily. This could have been the time for Kenpachi to finally accept that his own power isn't enough and turn to his sword.

But no, Kenpachi doesn't grow. Unohana hands him victory and I guess the sword was just waiting for Kenpachi to quit holding back. That's stupid.

Sorta but not exactly. He dealt her a major wound, but then grew afraid he would never be able to feel that joy again and limited himself, then she cut him down.

He didn't get the name until he cut down the 10th Kenpachi.

Well, in Ichigo's case, he vastly outpowered Ichigo. He was not challenged at all. He enjoyed the whole fight and it wasn't until the end that Ichigo gained insight into his sword that he was able to win. It took his loss to Ichigo to realize this loss. That also explains his "power up" after his fight with Ichigo: he stopped holding back so much, subconsciously. Then he was able to stand on par with Dick Tongue.

Yes, I know that. My problem is Kenpachi never really grows a connection with his sword but is somehow still given the name because...well I don't know. At least Ichigo had to grow some to get Zangetsu's name, both intellectually and spiritually.

On a more serious note, you're getting stuck on shit that nobody cares about.
