Another bankai reveal that completely counters the ability of an enemy with a strange power.

Why would Mayuri modify it if not to counter the ability of the opponent?

How would he even know to modify it specifically for this type of ability?

He's basically the Adam West Batman without the charm.

His ability to adapt to his opponent is better than Yhwach's.

i don't understand your question. You're acting like he modified it specifically for this fight, instead of realizing that he modified it way before he ever knew this specific fight was gonna happen. Simply put, he planned ahead. Just like he modified his bankai to self-destruct if it attacked him, he modified it this time to counter any weird abilities his opponent might use.

The self destruct mechanic behind his bankai actually makes sense considering the different abilities we've seen in Bleach. This on the other hand, no pun intended, seems way to convenient of an ability for Mayuri to have prepped for considering the opponent he's fighting. The fight itself was enjoyable prior to this chapter.

how so? The modification isn't opponent-specific. The mod allows his bankai to develop countermeasures for an opponent based on the information Mayuri gives it during the fight.

So one of the mods Mayuri put in for his new bankai just happened to be layers of nerves even though there's no possible way he could've know he was going to fight an oppenent like this? Still I guess its better than the convenient ability of other bankai, Rukia's in particular, offered.

btw, this isn't likely to work seeing as Perneida will now be inside of Ashisogi which defeats the entire epidermis countermeasure. but i supposed Mayuri thought about that in advance.

did we read different translations? The one i read said Ashisogi creates a countermeasure based on the information Mayuri gives it as he's fighting his opponent.

the modification was making Ashisogi capable of coming up with countermeasures.The modification was pre-planned, not the countermeasure itself.

Hmmm....So Mayuri didn't give Ashisogi the countermeasures before he encountered the enemy: this is what I thought had happened.

It's still a pretty anti-climatic finish for Mayuri to wrap things up so quickly.

i think Ashisogi eating the hand is gonna backfire.

This is Bleach, I cannot imagine this being fight end.

The ending statements imply that the fight isn't over.

This fight is definitely not over. But it can't be as simple as Pernida taking control of Ashisogi 'cause that's been done already and Mayuri already has the self-destruct contingency. I'm interested to see how Mayuri loses this fight... or wins after being nearly killed... or some variation of those scenarios.

Anyhow, this is the most interested I've been in Bleach since Yhwach fought Yama.

I guess that's probably what's going to happen. Though I've been cheated before.

Hopefully the fight isn't over and Mayuri will actually have to fight, in his own way, to secure the win. The fight itself is entertaining though this recent chapter gave me a bad impression of how things were going down.

Yhwach technically didn't fight Yama. Or rather I'm not sure how Yhwach handled Yama could be considered a fight.

Rank the Captains in terms of overall combat potential Ignoring Aizen's crew.

Shouldn't Kenpachi have the most potential considering the Sternritter labelled him as a war potential or something. That and coupled with Ukitake losing his "Piece of Eden" should put him at the top. Byakuya doing training with the Zero Division should rank him second in fighting potential with Mayuri following up in 3rd with his prep and adaptable bankai. Not sure where Kyoraku and Toshiro fall under and I don't really seen any potential from the vizard captains atm.

Wakka's got it down pat IMO.

I forgot to mention Soi Fong and Komamura. For Komamura I'm not sure where he's supposed to be as his "were-wolf" form appears to have expired. Soi-Fon, like Toshiro, relied a bit too much on her bankai but unlike Toshiro the fruit of her training didn't offer much as it turned out that mastering shunko didn't give her much of an edge.

So after reading better translations of last chapter and this latest chapter, I realize I made a big fit over nothing, my bad.
