Chances are they are the rear end pull and because their powers are sourced from neither Quincy or Hollow (Orihima is some kind of magic god person no? and Chad is a full on fullbringer) they'll play some pivotal role in being the "true powers of humanity" or some poo poo.

In fact, i bet there'll be some super spiritron absorbing thing that Ywach uses, it absorbs all quincy, shinigami and hollow powers, all but wipes out squad zero and the god of souls or whatever, but because Orihime and Char are human with weird powers derived from some other things them they'll still be around and will deal the final blows against Ywach.

But who am i kidding. Orihime and Chad are going to chump some quincies and then try to appeal to whatshisface to not be a dick. Whatshisface will reveal "master plan" which will involve self sacrifice but temporarily weaken/allow an opening on Ywach. Ichigo will then merge every power into one and kill Ywach and the soul king (who will have now merged into one being because that was Ywach's true plan: to be the master of both Quincies and Shinigamis).

Then by killing them the whole deathgod/quincy powers are eradicated, ghosts just become ghosts and live in ghost land without swords, hollows are just bad people and live in hollow land and everything works out fine because of mcguffin.

Oh, and we never find out what happened to grimmjaw, or who's foot that was in HM a few years ago.

Well, it's not Orihime's powers themselves that are weak, it's just that she's the very definition of a squishy wizard.

Chad's probably completely hosed though, yeah.

Just a reminder that Fullbring powers are the result of either one of the person's parents being attacked by a hollow before they were born. So if Chad's a fullbringer (which he is), obviously he's got a bit of a trump card on them.

Also I want to see Chad hulk out and wreck some Quincy poo poo.

Edit: In accordance with Ghost Mengele's new look can we get a :sun: smilie but with his face instead???

All sensitivity has long ago atrophied
Chad's progression now only leads to him getting a full suit of armor.

Arm -> Arm with flames (like from the Full Throttle games) -> shield arm-> other arm being more dangerous/one punch KO skulls in poured cement walls

Orihime probably going to fight and be in a support style role while her combatant chides her on her uselessness, then she gets judo-chopped and gets held prisoner while unconscious. Queue Ishida/Ichigo buddy team up a la "that wasn't part of the deal,"

I'm wondering if Ishida will become how Ywach was, and sacrifice himself to be exiled for the next 1000 yr slumber.

I don't know what foot you guys are talking about, but the MYSTERY PERSON in the video feed was pretty obviously Grimmjow. The arm and lower body were Grimmjow's, and he was screaming about "that bastard Ichigo" and Ichigo even said, "what is he doing there?".

Kubo is gonna troll us all and reveal that Ulquiorra's corpse dust landed on a dying Grimmjow and mutated both of them into a very angry at Ichigo hybrid.

This was interesting, meaning he actually practices using kido, but it's more likely Kubo was just too lazy to write an incantation.

Kubo's laziness made an interesting character more interesting, then. It's always been implied that only kido masters can do upper-level spells without the incantations, so depending on his proficiency, Yumichika's really been holding out on people. If he does have a bankai, he's basically a Captain without the rank (unlike, say, Ikkaku, who probably can't do any kido).

Wait, are we just accepting that Giselle is a guy now? Also getting off on killing someone isn't really a gay/straight thing, more of a psychopath thing.

No, Giselle is a chick.

Uryuu's grandpa - who is the real Sternritter Z - is a guy, though. And since Giselle is now just another zombie under his power, she has the scent of a man.

Also, Uryuu's grandpa had to sprinkle his blood on Giselle to turn her into a zombie. That's what Yumichika is smelling. It isn't really semen at all... it's undead grandpa blood. :eng101:

It'd be one hell of a twist, you gotta admit.



Mostly though, I'm just happy to see my main man Mayuri is back. I hope this fight goes on for 20+ chapters and is filled with "Weird Science" asspulls, hilariously inappropriate comments and hyjinxes from all parties involved, and some Mayuri backstory and character dev for good measure. :allears:

They aren't gonna bring in grampa uryuu while Ishida is nowhere to be seen. Mayuri wouldn't give a gently caress if some guy he performed a live dissection on came back, either. Besides, it would be a little too hosed up for Bleach if the 'good guy' was ghost mengele and the 'bad guy' was one of the many people he tortured to death. This is going to be another pure rear end in a top hat vs. rear end in a top hat fight, nothing more. Just enjoy the spectacle.

Numb Chandelier threatened Tatsuki, not Orihime, but that was indeed pretty :catstare:. The anime didn't have that line, though.

Shouldn't he have already come back as a ghost years ago? They are in ghost land, right?

Edit: Ah misremembered, he did come back, and Mayuri experimented on his soul, not his actual body.

...so shouldn't all the deceased Sternritter be showing up as ghosts now?

Yumichika's always seemed really strong but afraid to use it because of the divison he's in hating all things kido. His proper shikai was strong enough to make Charlotte Cuulhorne think it was a bankai.

It is entirely possible that the alphabet corps are ghosts already. Of course, in this setting ghosts leave behind corpses that can be raised as zombies so the very idea of ghosts as afterlife spiritual entities is kind of meaningless to begin with.

He only took fifth seat because second seat belongs to Yachiru. Third seat to Ikkaku and he likes Ikkaku too much to supplant him. So he settled for fifth since it looks like third. This already says a lot about his strength considering he knew about Ikkaku's bankai.
