Bleach Chapter 474 Discussion

It's a GPS, big whoop.



Ukitake, the evil mastermind!



Uhh, no. Don't really see that happening.

Uhm why are you criticising Kubo so badly... You are really not making any sense. I have to agree that the espada's were a big letdown for me, and the power ups of Aizen and Ichigo were pretty rediculous. But the story elements that are now being used are interesting again.



You can choose not to like the story, which is okay.... But to hate on the way Kubo writes his story and saying all kinds of b*llsh*t is just unneccesary.



JUST DONT READ HIS STORIES IF YOU DONT LIKE IT!! It's as simple as that.



For me I clearly missed out on stuff because I did not read the manga until the war. The Ukitaki hints that were layed down were not so apparent in the anime. Or does anybody have some screenshots like the screenshots of the manga posted here, but then animewise? Which show the same hints?



Thank you for joining our side.



Hmmm.. as for the hints. I believe the ones with Kaien were animated although I cant pinpoint excatly when. So were the ones with Aizen.. They were before Aizen left SS.  Im not so sure about the scene with Hitsugaya though. If it was in the anime, it would have been a short scene which would have easily slip my mind.. =X

Brief return of old unsexy art and a great panel of Ukitake.

Wow 7 pages of discussion. Bleach might as well become good from now on if Kubo keeps feeding people with good material.

Ukitake was always a shady fellow. Sooner or later he had to emerge, similar as Urahara.



Ginjou's statement about S. Badge is not really that stupefying, there is obviously more to it -- perhaps Urahara is ought to clarify more when he arrives ?



I loved the emphasize on the word LIE in the title.

Kaien was actually REFUSING to become Ukitake's vice captain. for a long long long long long long time.

We even had that whole flashback with Ukitake and Kaien sitting and talking and Kaien saying that "ill repeat, I don't want to be your vice-captain" (if i remember the line correctly).



Yeah, I remember that part. At first I thought, the reason why Kaien declined the offer was, he thought that he wasn't ready enough to be a vice-captain. Even though he was considered a genius (he graduated after only 2 years), Kaien denied that fact. When Ukitake mentioned that Gin graduated from the Shino Academy in a single year, he was impressed and noted that he was even "further" from being a vice-captain. But I guess, with the situation right now, that Ukitake, being "somewhat" had hidden agenda...it's safe to assume that there's another reason for Kaien's actions at that time.

I don't really get why this is supposed to be a such a  big revelation or why it would make the Soul Society look like the bad guys.



The badge suppressing Ichigo's power makes perfect  sense, seeing as how captains and liutenants have their powers suppressed by like 80% when they come to earth, so it's reasonable to do the same to Ichigo.  And it's reasonable to want to keep track substitutes since they're not officially part of the Gotei 13, so it makes sense to keep an eye on them in case they get into trouble or become threats. I really hope there's more to this "revelation".Seriously, it's not like they're out to murder him, they just have to be careful. Other shinigami are monitored too...



Compared to the sort of things Soul Society has been embroiled in in the past, this is really nothing at all. I hope Kubo has something a little more shocking planned for the "true" reveal.

I still think Urahara plays a role here that has not been revealed yet, be it good or evil.
