Bleach Chapter 479 Discussion

I'm LOVIN' it!



Hirako, Kensei, and Rose... wooh, I miss them. Good to be back in SS as Captains. BANZAI!



Kyouraku...why are you staring at Ichigo like you're piercing him with your evil-looking eyes, huh?!



I laughed a lot at the panel when Ichigo met Renji at SS. Renji was totally "shocked". hehe...



The only thing I didn't like on this chapter is the ANNOUNCEMENT of the 3-week hiatus of Bleach. Damn!

so someone explain to me what was the point of the fullbring.



It introduced a human-world part of Ichigo support group (with nel/grimm, etc being HM part and SS being ss part) for the possible end-arc against soul king. Not counting the yukio group and other stuff, with fullbring power existance in real world, human world is equally capable of participating in whatever comes latter as SS and HM are.



It explained Chad's powers.



It still has certain impact upon storyline.



It introduced us to the idea of pantheism and gave is a glimpse on smaller scale of what soul king should be capable of.

The end is coming ^.^



errr, no its not? The manga is half-way done, we already knew that for quite some time, not to mention that there's quite a lot left to tell.



Yes but It should've been over halfway through...Bleach( as the name suggest) is just Kubo giving people white papers for their money

I get my white paper for free,thank you very much! -_-



By not paying this b****, you are doing humanity a great favor. Thank YOU :)

Took a break from Bleach and just marathoned the last 20 chapters...not feeling like it was worth the catch up. This felt like a bad yu yu hakusho rip (sensui, anyone?).



As much as I like a whole lot of Bleach characters, I'd almost prefer if the manga finished here, and the backstory we don't know could be released oneshot/anthology style.



I'm just kind of disappointed.

hm just noticed and its quite nice to get a real confirmation;/foreshadowing that SS knows about Ichigo more than he does about himself.



That convo between Kyoraku and Ukitake, did not seem like them talking about some guy they met few months ago. I guess Aizen was not the only one "keeping" tabs on ichigo for a long time.Damn, I'm willing to agree with you on that one... totally missed that. If it's true, it makes me question whether the mystery of Ichigo's badge is fully revealed. When will they decide to stop keeping secrets?



*sigh* I can only hope that the next chapter/arc offers more revelations than mysteries...

thank god thats over and done with, right?

Am i the only one thinking this arc was  worst than a filler ? lol. I'm not even watching anime now. Missed the old bleach... :/

i would say it was pretty close, the worst ark so far, it was ok at first though.

So flew right? or did she kill herself? Oh well. Anyways those guys got captain status back!



Ok, I've caught up to where the sequel is going start now right? Well I'm going to watch the anime now

So, that it's 99% sure Ginjou is dead, why did Ichigo actually kill him? I mean he hasn't killed anyone before, did he? And it didn't even seem to faze him.



Because Ginjou was a threat to what Ichigo loved. He did not do anything direct yet, but he could and he most likely WOULD. And Ginjou would not stop no matter what was in his way beacause of his resolve to do that. And Ichigo, being the one who understands opponents and conisdering Ginjou's history, Ichigo knew that he if he were in Ginjou's place WOULD have done the same thing, most likely.



Its literally was pretty much forced to kill by circumstances.



And oh it did change him. Of course he is not raging around and emoing. Because thats not what mature people do. Ichigo knows why Ginjou died and Ginjou died not because Ichigo had to kill him, but because what and how SS treated him.



Ichigo is not emoing. Why? Because he does not want to justify SS or Ginjou or name one side a villain. He knows he could not. He knows that this time there was no hero and no villain in this piece, just circumstances.  That its not as  "clear-cut"  as SS captains tried to make it sound this chapter.



In this chapter, Ichigo pretty much made it clear. I mean, he entered into ss without notice, he pretty much highlighted the still existing FEAR of him and what he would do and could do and he clearly exclaimed that not only he DOES NOT  despise Ginjou, but that SS has no right to actually bury him, Ginjou is not some criminal mastermind of evil. He is just a "mere substitute Shinigami", they looked down and tried to control....just as this one "mere substitute shinigami" that stands in front of them and that made them fear enough to gather all the big guns as "welcome" party.



And while Ichigo still has no reason to do anything to SS and still considers people there as sort of friends, it was pretty much his goal to show them that he knows who's fault this whole fb thing was.



Ichigo, with his actions this chapter, pretty much  "disrespected" SS in most mature possible way, without crossing a line, in a sense.



Ginjou's death and situation , in a sense made Ichigo grow as adult, as a person and as character. How much? Remains to be seen.
