The Official BLEACH series Thread

why did he have to make it so unclear what it is?

I'm late to the theory but what do people think of Shunsui begin Aizen in disguise?

Look, Renji won! Who would have thought?

I'm glad the wrestler is finally ****ing gone.

Renji's new bankai looks awesome.

I'm glad too. Mask was kinda pissing me off with his outlook on him and the 'villains.'

and it really does look awesome.

hm, so if that Osho guy named everything in Soul Society, that means he also named Yamamoto's shikai and bankai as well.... wonder if there is some other special power he has in addition to knowing all of their names... though him essentially being the founder of all their techniques and stuff is pretty awesome in its own way.

Mmmm dat asspull.

"durrr your bankai's been lying to you because lulz".

Ah well. Goodbye Mr. Superstar.

Zabimaru is basically a douchebag of a sword.

I mean Renji passed the training with Mr. Kickass Shoes so why not say the sword changed to reflect the growth of his spirit.

Biggest plot twist in Bleach so far, I'd say.

If I had a glass of something, I'd toast to that.

So...does this mean that no matter what experiences a shinigami goes through, they can't use their full power if their zanpakuto is a douchebag. Also it's both funny and sad that Renji is stronger than two vizard captains, Hisagi, and Ikkaku.

But if I can take anything away from this its that at least Mr.Luchador is finally dead.

honestly, that is a fair question. and iirc, some of the captains don't get along that well with their zanpakutos.... and yeah, it is funny/sad. but damn, at least he became a real badass now.

same here. that guy had overstayed his welcome, if you ask me.

I like it that Renji and Ichigo trained with Kami at Lookout Tower. They even drank and took a bath in the spirit water at Korin's tower.

So it should be no surprise that Renji was able to defeat Nappa.

it was also previously established (by Yumichika) that using the wrong name will make the zanpakuto weaker.

What we learned in this chapter is that Zabimaru didn't respect Renji.

you people are too quick to call plot revelations "asspull".

I would like to draw attention to this panel: http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/564/10

Based off of this, if Renji has been unworthy all of this time but now finally became worthy after training with the Zero Division, why did Zabimaru still withhold its name? Also we didn't have any foreshadowing that Zabimaru didn't like Renji, I mean the dude pretty much got bankai by himself and already knew how to manifest its spirit during the SS arc which has to me something right?

I say it's either one of these things:
A. An ass-pull just so Renji could look kind of cool.
B. Like Aura stated, Zabimaru's a douchebag
C. Kubo just forgot about Renji's bankai origin

it's not about liking Renji or thinking he's a swell guy, it's about respecting his power, and that was definitely foreshadowed going all the way back to the Invasion arc. I don't remember the exact words used, but i do recall Zabimaru being pissed that Renji was taking so long to heal after getting his ass kicked by Ichigo.

the most likely of the options you listed is (B). Zabimaru is just kind of a dick.

If you could be in a Gotei 13 Squad which would it be? Excluding Squad 0.

Alternatively you get to be one of the four things(Shinigami, Quincy, Fullbringer, Hollow) what would you be?

i could make a helluva living as a magician.

Squad 11 because I could feign manliness and stupidity

Fullbring so I wouldn't have to deal with being eaten for no reason, killed for not being good enough, or having an incompetent boss.

Squad 11 because they beat the shit out of each other all the time for good fun but, at the end of the day, they are still a close brotherhood that takes care of their own (Unless you're Kenpachi).

Also, that's a good cosplay. She even got the mole. I would wreck.
