Bleach Chapter 472 Discussion

Hence why a dandy like Byakuya is a badass. That was a spendid finish. Though this begs the question. If Byakuya learned some desperate brutality, does this mean that Kenpachi has learned some finesse?

But well, as someone had mentioned in the forums, "no one dies in Bleach".. So Tsukishima haters dont be too happy yet, Tsukishima lovers dont be too sad yet.



Well drawn chapter

Its a chapter ending take-down, which completes the sequence.



NOw the rooms drop, Rukia is "okay", but most likely is Riruka, Tsukishima seems down but gets up as soon ad Byakuya starts attacking SS side, Giriko reforms, and all other fbs are revealed to have survived through flashbacks to waht exactly happened.



Anyway he is not dead yet. Remember the leaf he cut? That still has yet to come into play.



EDIT: Betting that when the rooms drop, Tsuki will stab himself, undoing the wound and being all "Smile" :)

Noo, just when I thought Shuu-chan won Byakuya had a final trick on his hand. Darn. Still, great chapter, one of the few ones that have been good as of lately.



And what the hell happened to Rukia? Kubo, I hate you for leaving us in the dark.

Yeah!

Byakuya's always been a favourite of mine, and so a chapter focused on him will always get a thumbs up from me!



Heh, it seems Byakuya got a little of his playful nature out and enjoyed having to fight on the fly again. I bet he's not done that since his training days with Yourichi!

Quick Edit...

Oh Byakuya, you're so awesome, turning that "weakness" (that I knew wasn't truly there) into a weapon... one of the few characters still able to maintain some godliness.



And I'm totally buying the theory here that Riruka has entered Rukia's body (...ehm), instead of throwing other people into cute things she threw herself into something she thought was cute (...ehm).



I actually like your theory here. However... that makes me wonder, has Riruka ever done it with a soul form before? Because the incident with Kaien makes it rather clear that you can't seperate two souls once they are merged. Or does Riruka's powers do something about that?No, if it's true... then I'm pretty sure it's a  new power-up caused by Ichigo's ability to dress himself in his powers.



And if her inexperience causes some problems then that will only make things more interesting :P... though I doubt it, so far the FBers have adapted insanely quick to their new powers, you have to be really desperate in order to do something that might cause permanent consequences.

So what, is he a hollow now? Knowing Kubo, a punch through the heart won't kill any big bad.

Oh....oh my...that was BAD. ASS!!!! Byakuya just got so much cooler for shunning the long-range approach and just straight up THROTTLING Tsukishima. Loved it, almost completely for that. 5/5



And I agree that we needed more Rukia this time!!

We've seen an increase in torso/heart stabs with hands, and now it has reached Byakuya. Interesting turn of Bleach events.
