Why is it too much of a stretch that the parts of Ichigo that are human and shinigami (Zangetsu?) have to expend the majority of their power suppressing the part that's a hollow? We've seen Ichigo's inner hollow say that he's going to always be trying to take control. We've also seen that even when Ichigo's other parts aren't almost dead the inner hollow can occasionally take control and that the result is a hollow capable of fighting on par with a strong captain level opponent. So why wouldn't Ichigo's hollow form be capable of fighting at a level far beyond that when the other aspects that make up Ichigo can't restrain it?

Gin seemed pretty freaked out by what happened in that passageway. In fact he's seemed a but strange since Aizen's little change of appearance.
Aizen seems sort of typically reborn type attitude/seeing everything thru new eyes.
About the only thing left is to see humans as knats as often seems to happen in such sci-fi evolution type stories.

Hell hath no fury like an uke scorned.

On one had, it looks like this was in the works for some time (knowing how to overcome a certain someone's Bankai. Not revealing everything). I detected a certain bitterness in that snake exchange.
Interestingly enough, several of the doujins I've seen translations for have picked up on Aizen's cruelty as a potential wedge. Doujins written back when the Hueco Mundo arc was just getting going.
I only checked a couple chapters when you all have been so silent after seeming rather giddy Ichigo was going to hand Aizen his head weeks ago.
Bottom line, the hero is Ichigo so I expect he will hand Aizen his head, but this might be the tipping factor in allowing Ichigo to defeat Aizen not unlike Vegeta got a shot in that allowed Cell to go down to Gohan. It would be nice if this works, but I don't believe it will.

Click for Spoiler:

I've always liked characters like Gin. I like the look & I like the personality. Akabane's still higher up my bishie scale, but Gin's always seemed a bit like Akabane to me. They play whichever side suits them at the moment. When he wasn't trying to kill the GetBackers, Akabane was helping them.

And I like Aizen because he's an extremely cool villain. The villain has all the fun until he's brought down. Miss C wasn't sure about that Megamind movie, but the first time I saw the preview I figured I would be going (Baby seal skin boots. Whee). Aizen has been one step ahead of everyone all along, but this transformation thing feels as though it's changed that maybe--like maybe he'll get tripped up relying not on his tactics/ability but on his power sort of as Tousen did.

Reading about what happens in Chapter 414 makes me think Bleach might maybe be worth giving a second chance.

If Kubo lets [this story arc] end like this I will praise Bleach everyday for a month.


I would love it also.
It's not totally outside the box, but it's left field enough to be really cool. It's glorious. It's beautiful.
I'm just afraid in the name of shonen convention Ichigo has to deliver the final blow. He can't be doing that training with dad & not utilize it in some way unless we learn there's a bigger bad out there we didn't know about that he can use it on. Ichigo's power has developed too immensely

God, it would be cool if this does finish Click for Spoiler: Wouldn't it be neat if Click for Spoiler: & no one ever knows what happened outside of maybe the Shinigami King?

And that may be a final arc-the Shinigami King might order the destruction of the Vizards of which Ichigo is one. Don't know how many others are left. They are a loose end of this whole Hyogaku arc. Likely the creator of the thing would be targeted also.

I've been behind on the chapter releases for a few weeks now that a lot of scanlation sites have taken it down/been taken down (don't judge me for using them, I also buy the volumes as well). I'm still hanging on
Spoiler: show


hate to sound like a mooch for asking, but is there another place to view the new releases?

I think a lot of people are in the same boat as you are. Those sites made it very easy to stay up to date with the series...

That's not a question that can be answered here. We've got a prohibition against publicly aiding piracy. In the future, please don't post requests like this since it puts the moderators in an unpleasant position.

Eh... We've all been there done that at some point. The only reason I mentioned it is because I figured you didn't know and that I might be able to avoid a problem if I mentioned it that way.

If its any consolation, at least you can now legally view the episodes on Crunchyroll. They worked out an agreement to stream translated episodes shortly after they air in Japan. Premium members there get subbed episodes within hours of them being aired in Japan. For everyone else, we have to wait a week, but that's still a lot better than waiting a year or two to see them on Adult Swim.

I'm guessing that would be Espada 0-4. Or does it not say.

Edit:
Well... I'm caught up with the manga now. Interesting.

That's a let-down...
I always hope too high, it seems.
That sounds so similar to Tousen. And Ichigo/Rukia in the Soul Society arc.
What happened to baddies with cool reasons like RifRaff in Rocky Horror? Rezo in Slayers? Reiji in Gatekeepers? OK, maybe not so much cool as unique. Not the same old-same old excuse.

And I'm also iffy on Ichigo. Come on.

Although that whole wish thing is iffy in itself. Short of being a god itself, the thing granting wishes has to have limits.
