Bleach Chapter 478 Discussion

That chapter was just awful.

what did i just read -_-



This. It feels like the Bleach manga is dying down with every new chapter.

what a boring chapter, one of my least favorite bleach chapters i can remember. Naruto is doing a lot better atm.

Huh? What was that? I actually checked the previous chapter again because I thought I skipped a chapter. This felt totally out of place and way too abrupt.



And I don't think we will see the FBs (except for Tsuki and Ginjo if he's still alive) ever again. Well, maybe in a little cameo or showing up all of a sudden when all seems lost and saving the day (for one fight) in a later arc.



(also I didn't really care about the stuff that was going on)

So...what now?

most likely a small(or big three year) skipand we move to next arc. Going by everything we seen we will either:

1) get that ginjou is not dead and have some continuing stuff from this arc about SS.

2) get an arc about mayuri's findings in HM and the whole mistery, possibly urahara mayuri connection exploration and maybe civil war.

3) Isshin's past.



these three are most likely





EDIT: also if tsukishima is not dead, I do see him becoming an ally to  ichigo as the inveitable ss/royal realm arc comes.

So the Fullbringers are going to become Ichigo's allies or enemies in the future? Dunno. Like some ppl said, I also smell a timeskip coming soon.



And Riruka... well, we all knew she was going to join Ichigo's nakamas sooner or later.



IT can be an intereting set up:

FUllbringers represent real world.

Ichigo's friends in HM(Grimm is alive, Neliel is alive, Halibel is alive) represent hollows.

reformed SS represents SS.



Ichigo literally got  a possible army against soul king.

I am just gonna copy paste another post I made in a thread questioning the true value of this arc and the fullbringers themselves.



"He is talking about how we all thought Xcution was gonna be the new Espada, only more moral/political and less fightfightfight, and they turned out to have the worst arc of Bleach and end it in the most anticlimatic way ever.



After reading the arc, I am wondering if there was ever any need for it to happen at all. the only relevant things were the suspicion cast on SS (quickly laid to ground by Ichigo's stalwart belief of his nakama) and Ichigo's powers. This could have been achieved with the appearence of a Menos Grand and a few chapters of ishida speculating and gathering everyone to brainstorm and discuss about his theories.



Would have brought less plotholes and less confusion about how Fullbring actually works, and whether or not orihime's and Chad's powers are true fullbrings, or what."



This portrays my opinion the best way I can, I believe.



^and this post made absolutely no sense at all. All that could  be undertood is that this person feels this was the "worst" arcof this manga.

What now? Another timeskip?

The very fact that such a huge part of chapter is missing and the part contained Urahara(who before implied to be quite good with healing arts) arriving at the scene, seems to imply that we dont know something.



Could it be that they are hiding Ginjou being alive from SS, for whatever reason?



Or maybe Ginjou IS dead and its used for Ichigo's motivations as well as the whole would Ichigo or would he not kill a person. Because lets face it. If Ginjou IS dead, Ichigo had to kill a person he had no direct conflict nor need to fight against. It was a person he had to kill out of NEED(ginjou being a danger)  instead of out of ideals or what that person has done.  



The story can go either way and so far I am going more towards the formed possibility of GInjou being alive.  But overall its too early to know exactly what is going on.



Ahh I can the story heading either way. Thats what I love about Bleach though, you can expect the unexpected. Just imagine if Tite Kubo wasn't limited by the Shounen nature of the story itself.
