The Official BLEACH series Thread

what are you refering to in regards to Tousen? I'm not recalling what's weird about his zanpakuto,

Tousen's zanpakuto belonged to his dead friend originally. Least from what I recall it did.

ahhh. oh yeah.

well, she died before ever putting her soul into it, so there's no conflict there.

Well there is that.

It still seems odd that Ichigo got so much heat for not using one even though its possible to be a shinigami w/o it.

it's not possible.

Ichigo is the only person to become a shinigami without an asauchi, but that's only because his hollow power made a fake asauchi for him.

Do you mean, Ichigo excepted, it's impossible to have a Zanpakutou without an Asauchi?

Nanao became a Shinigami without a Zanpakutou, and someone like Yoruichi doesn't bother to use a Zanpakutou anymore.

I always found that odd about Yoruichi; where's her Zanpakuto?

Yeah that might be a better way to put it.

Also I wonder where would this leave Nemu as she doesn't appear to have used an asauchi yet is still a recognized Gotei member.

Uuugh, pacing! So little happened!

You weren't kidding, literally, nothing happened.

Absolutely no new information was presented in this chapter.

Fighting with a sword is scary guys. We learned that bit of vital information.

There was the reflected attack, but really, this was *maybe* 3 pages of content spread over 20 pages.

At least the match against the cartoon vulture is over.

You know, for awhile, Bleach was actually drawing me back in. Stuff was happening, we were getting backstories and developments and action that moved the plot.

Now we're getting long drawn-out fights with people who're super strong but we really didn't know before, maybe getting their backstories when they die.

This fight was dumb or rather it had a lackluster conclusion, like most fights that have happened recently in Bleach.

Also wasn't the whole "God killing" zanpakuto thing done already with Gin?

This fight started out interesting, but has jumped the shark. Kubo's going full Deicide mode again.

Yea. Passing it to Nanao *could* be interesting, if it wasn't "Here Nanao, have a sword," *Flashback* *Single move*, "Swords are scary." *Single move*.

And heck, even being a kido type, she's a *vice captain*. Surely she's faced others who had swords before?

Well, his was really more of a poison/extendo sword.

Well another Bleach chapter another "No You".

Huh, I'm surprised the thing last chapter did so much, I figured it hadn't done so much judging by his reaction.

Well, Izusu's back, that's something that happened.

I forgot he was gone, this arc is so forgettable lol.
