Bleach Chapter 475 Discussion

Also its nice to see a main character with actually clear head.  For a second I have forgotten that Ichigo actually is top of his class in the school without even trying to do anything.  Of course he would have suspected Ukitake, especially after all the manipulations he was target of in last two years of his life.



he trusted Ginjou because Ginjou WAS good back then(due to Tsukishima).Which makes sense that Ginjou did not want to underestimate Ichigo and wanted to go with whole getting cut ruse to be able to fool him.



Also I doubt he has put the whole problem with SS behind and ignores it. Its clearly the situation of prioritizing - Ginjou is a threat with this level of power to the people he cares about. Ginjou knows too much and he has information about his family and his father.  Thus ending Ginjou is a whole lot more important right now for Ichigo than dealing with shit that while very important is far less imminent.



Also this confirms that Ichigo does doubt Urahara due to the whole Aizen conversation with Urahara.  And he knows something is up with Isshin but he honors his father so till what Isshin is not ready to tell does NOT come to bite them all in the ass, he is honoring his silence.



however Jackie is "nowhere to be found" = alive. Moe is alive too. tsuki is "not dead yet" and Riruka is most likely merging/hiding in rukia. And we still do not know the exact plan Ginjou had. Not to mention the whole point of Captains not interfering and rukia wondering about it hinting that SS is STILL not entirely clear in the open of why they are here.



Not to mention Chad and Orihime both have multiple powerups they were prevented to show and Urahara is heading to the scene.



Whatever happens it will happen soon as everything seems to be lining up.

Remember when Bankai was a rare thing?  And not everyone had it and just throw it out like it was a normal thing to do.

Current number of people with bankai: around ~20

Current number of people who have MASTERED their bankaI: less than ten.

Current number of shinigami: gazillions.



Seems quite rare to me.

haha i knew it that Ginjou would pull out ichi's bankai now we have fake vs real that should be interesting.

Oh and on an another note - am I the only one finding it funny that in those double spread pages the second half is mainly blank smoke flowing?In the case with Ichigo, you can't really put it against KT since I think he was trying to draw a mirror image of the first time Ichigo used bankai. Not counting the color, it looks the same... just less detailed... to ehm... make it more clean I guess.........

<img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/hungry_bunny/Banka1and2.jpg" />



Hmmm...At first I guess it seemed like it was mirrored but it's not really. In the first picture his cape(if you will) was flowing from the left side of his outfit and the his sword was in his right hand. For it to be mirrored it would be flowing from the left side and the sword would still be in his right hand but the sword remains in his right hand and the cape(or w.e. you wanna call it) is flowing from the right side of his  outfit. Besides all of that, it's obvious which pose looks more bad ass. Stop slacking Kubo!

this week's chapter ended in a blink of an eye.



Well, at least we know that Ichigo is not as dumb as some people thought he would be.





Ginjo's bankai form looks abit like Syazel.. ?



Isnt Tensa Zangetsu abit longer? It's like an extension with that 3 pointy edges.

New Bankai looks shitty.

Ginjo is a strange guy. It's clear that his bankai is influenced by his hollow (Fullbring) powers, since his eyes are just like a vaizard's. What I find stranger is that Ginjou is supposed to be in his phyiscal form, yet he went bankai.That's it! I was asking myself: "why the hell does he remind me of Aizen?" His effin eyes are black, how did I miss that? -_-



And I've mentioned this theory before, but I believe that Fullbring has made it possible for both Ichigo and Ginjo to use their shinigami powers without leaving their bodies. If it's true, then that should be a big factor in the unique and different looks of their oufits.

LOVe Ichigo's bankai redesign.



What interests me is what are the captains waiting for.  Its clear there's more to their arrival now more than ever.



Also the old old old theory of Ichigo being the royal key now gets reinforced - Ichigo once again breaks out of some unbreakable place.  It would really fit this manga for Ichigo to enter Kings realm to fight Soul king by simply slashing reality in half.



Ginjou looks awesome as well. WHAT A BADASS SWORD. Ginjou has best sword designs since god knows when in this manga.



5/5



EDIT: Anyone else bet that when Ichigo enters the inner world sometime in future, he finds it empty with no Zangetsu? would not be surprised if whil ehe got back his powers, the spirit of his powers would still be dead.

I'm also with you. His new bankai is awesome.



And Ginjou's bankai is the most badass sword I've seen in bleach....EVER!



So the royal key part...haha, I was thinking he could of been the vessel for the soul king to one day occupy.



As for the captains, I was thinking that maybe they were waiting to see which side would Ichigo pick....ss or ginjou's.



Also when Ichigo will go into his inner world to find Zengetsu, he'll find him alright, but it will have this form >:D




YES I WANT A FEMALE ZANGETSU VERSION!

I have to admit I applaud Bleach for not simply being black vs. white but Ichigo kind of spoils it with his need to "protect blah blah".
