Wait what? When was this stated?

As Nodt was definitely using his Fear power on Byakuya to keep him rooted while pelting him with Senbonzakura.

Did you pull this out of your rear end, or Kubo from his?

They can use that, it's the Vollständig that they can't use. And that's even possessing a stolen Bankai that prevents that, not just using it.

Also, why would Yhwach ever not be using his power? Does it take energy or anything? This is poorly articulated.

It is indeed poorly articulated. Though "it takes energy" seems like a reasonable assumption, since Yhwach sleeps a lot and Yamamoto must have defeated him somehow.

ywach instantly knowing that ichigo's sword is dangerous is the only indication he can see the future at all. the specifics haven't been revealed yet, since ichigo hasn't even had a chance to swing it even once.

Maybe he didnt swing it, maybe Aizen made Ywach think that he broke it. He has already got him under his hypnosis poo poo right? Cause if that is the case, Aizen can make Ywach think he's picking a particular future he wants, when really he is picking the future Aizen wants.

My guess is that it'll be more silly than that, like, Aizen decided that he'll do an illusion no matter what, so when Ywach picks a future he hastily picks a future in which Ichigo's sword gets broken, except he picked the future in which Aizen fooled him into thinking Ichigo's sword was broken, giving enough time for Ichigo to swing his magic sword and reveal what it actually does.

Except Ichigo's sword wasn't fully broken this time, just cracked, so there's no need for that.

Ywach picks a future where Gin is alive somehow, then Gin kills both Ywach and Aizen.

Given that this is Bleach. Ywach's power is the ability to see a future where his foe stands there smugging about their powers instead of murdering him, which gives him the time to mess things up. He lost to Yamamoto 1000 years ago because 1000 years ago Yamamoto only had "Kill everything" in all futures, regardless of what happens. Bach only survived because he selected the future in which Yamamoto was arrogant enough to not finish him off.

Everyone in Bleach is stupid because of Ywach causing brain damage for 1000 years.

No, I'm saying that's what's happening right now, the cracks are a ruse by Aizen.

it is possible, but kubo's been increasingly incoherent as this arc has gone on so i don't think it is likely.

Considering that the last villain's power basically boils down to "he says that he wins and then he wins," Jump putting a bullet in this comic is probably one of the smartest moves it's ever made.

I mean, I've been "reading" it on the regular since Deicide, but more out of morbid fascination and because every chapter takes less than 3 minutes to click through because there's hardly ever any dialogue and all the panel space is devoted to just one or two characters in stiff poses with half-lidded expressions.

Just for nostalgia's sake, I went back and checked Thread 12: Deicide Arc

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3271415&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=2 (archives required)

I had a blast reading comments like:

quote:

I can't help but think that Orihime will be involved in Aizen's downfall somehow. Most likely, she'll reject the event of the captains viewing Aizen's shikai, making them unaffected by his Absolute Hypnosis. Then again, this is Bleach, and Ichigo is generally the only one allowed to save the day. So I'm guessing he'll see Aizen's shikai and everyone will be like "OH NO IT'S OVER, WE'RE hosed" and then Orihime will show up and fix it.

quote:

Everything is still leading up to Orihime actually growing a spine and rejecting Aizen out of existence. Ichigo is going to try his hand, fail in a massive way and then Orihime is going to show up, see everyone dying and immobilize Aizen, reject all of his illusions, and then very slowly reject Aizen out of existence

The series is about to end, and Orihime contributed absolutely nothing towards the plot other than being a damsel in distress. NOTHING. Biggest wet fart in history of manga?

Man. I remember when bleach was great. Remember pluses? Cause I do. A plus is a soul that exists in the real world. That was cool. Remember the Espada and how they were basically the an thesis of the real world and soul society and their numbers counted down to the most powerful? I thought that was cool too. Remember when butterfliazen, I'm sorry; Tite Kubo completely ran his narrative into the ground?? I was there for "Decide."

With 3 issues left I have never been so excited for this painful existence to end. I used to love this manga, now I can't wait to finally bury it.

Well, with the exception of maybe the Fullbringer arc, Chad was never set up to contribute anything to the story and then missed the call.

Hell, at least Chad defeated a couple of mooks including the frog Hollow, the native American Shinigami, the STR investment Arrancar and the turtle Arrancar

Orihime was supposed to be this big thing during the fight against Aizen, but she was just a decoy.

She is the one to come with Ichigo to confront Bach, and she is defeated offscreen.

At least there's still the chance that if we ever go back to Chad it will be revealed that he defeated those statues and the manga ends with everyone congratulating him.

Well, I'll say this for Bleach: Unlike Naruto, I'm never bored. And no one has introduced a new villain out of nowhere so our heroes can play tag for a few months.



It's been chutes and ladders, and Ichigo has been playing for years. :colbert:

What was the point of the loving fullbringers if Ichigo's sword broke just after they repaired it?

No really, what was the loving point of them existing? The fullbringer arc was a plothole filled mess and their role in this final arc was to repair Ichigo's sword but now why do they even need to exist? Why can't Kubo just forget that he wrote characters this lovely?

the hero was dithering so she stepped up to fight in his place despite being incredibly outmatched. she made a choice and bravely fought the guy who had already killed half the village instead of shrieking naruto's name over and over until he transformed. of course it was still naruto, so hinata (or any woman) was never going to beat or even slightly injure pain. but hey, she tried.
