Bleach Chapter 482 Discussion

You are assuming the black mask are the one upsetting the balance of souls.



In both case this can be justified anyway.



If they are the one that upsetted the balance on Spirit king's order it is because he is thinking that lately SS has become to conceited for it's own good.

Spirit king has been alive much much much longer than SS, SS era is just a blink of eye to him and he probably saw many federation alike to it and he probably crushed as much when they started to get too independant from him.



SS is becoming more and more liberal by the day and their reach is only getting further, it's not an exageration to say that they might be a potent problem in the future to deal with so destroying this system now could be a very probable decision.



If they aren't the one that upsetted the balance then they are probably looking for the ones that did (Aka Ivan's group in this case). It is possible that these black masked person approached Yamamoto with no intention of fighting. Order from higher must be given by someone and it may be possible that they are here to use SS's power for finding the group that upset the balance.



That's what I like about this chapter, things aren't clear, no side is either black or white yet and the story could go everyway from now on.Yes, I am making an assumption. A big one. But they never said "We're here to take charge of Soul Society", they said "We're here to declare war, ON YOU".



Even if Yamamoto is a person who wouldn't give up control very easily, trying to kill any of the 13 captains during a situation like that makes the assumption pretty believable, that they want the Tearing and the Disapperences to continue unobstructed.



And if Ivan's group is behind it, it would mean that there's probably yet another Ginjo/Aizen type betrayal coming up. I'm not going to say the the chances of that are zero, but it does seem played out... let's see what he has to say first.



Still very sceptical to the idea that Spirit King cleans up and rebuilds by doing something that drastic... I'd like to see how Urahara reacts to this, if he truly is a fanatic SK follower then the Spirit King's stand on the situation might be shown in Urahara's actions (anotger assumption I know, but there isn't much else that can be offered this early in the arc).fishergirl16 said:
I found out just before reading this chapter that Bleach is ending and that this arc isn't going to be animated. In long-running shows like this, I usually read the manga in anticipation (so to speak) of when it'll be animated and I can see the awesome fight scenes. I'll probably lose a lot of interest now :/



But, besides that... Emotionally, for me, I can't believe Bleach is ending. Honestly, Bleach wasn't something I LOVED LOVED, like Naruto, but I did enjoy the SS Arc so much. And I even cried when the last arc started in the manga, even though that could last for who knows how long. But to hear that the show I've loved and embraced since I was young is going to go away in a little over a month, I was a bit devastated to tell the truth. I don't know what to think, so I won't and I'll just accept it.



But yeah. March 27 will not be a happy day for me.



Besides THAT, manga chapter was honestly intriguing. I was surprised, in a good way, of the reintroduction of the quincies. Probably a lot more on Ishida and his father's past too. It'll be cool :)



I'm hoping that it'll be animated in an OVA or even another short series at a later time :D



4/5Another great shonen anime, Gintama, also ended in March... only to get a sequel next year in April. I'm expecting something similar for Bleach, with a movie or two in the middle.

For a quincy to have a partial hollow mask on his face...if Kubo is pulling a quincy/hollow hybrid like the Arrancar, I quit Bleach here and now. That would be the most boring, uncreative and cheap thing he could pull off. Who knows...

Would you rather he bring in another new "original" enemy concept to make even more plotholes?



That has absolutely nothing to do with what I stated. If it were the case of what I said, a quincy/hollow hybrid, I simply called that boring and uncreative.

Or, by a chapter name,  its a bad recognition on main cast part.



Quincy is NOT a race. Its  a teaching.



A shinigami could be a quincy.

A hollow could be a quincy.

A fullbringer could be a quincy.



Its a teaching that takes hundreds of years to hone into bloodline and it stems from an older race of "magic hunters">





My bet? Those guys are all royal guards - joining royal guard means you need to forsake your usual power set and embrace the teachings upon which quincies are based upon.



It makes a perfect sense considerin the nature of fullbring and how it connects the idea of one deity connected to everything and considering quincy angelic nature of powers and how similar to fullbring in general the power is.



So royal guard would be consisting of shinigami, hollows and fullbringers having been taught in the teachings upon which quincies based theirs and augmenting their powers with it.



A perfect power for an army of someone who supposedly rules the universe.These "quintespada" or whatever they are, can't be Royal Guards. That doesn't make sense. They might share the same powers as the royal guard but if they're the reason behind the dissapearing souls and hollows then they'd be damaging a system that the Soul King has been supporting for thousands of years. So Royal guard is not how I would describe them, I can't even accept the thought that they're ex-royal guards cause I have this feeling that... just like the shingami... once you're in, you're in forever, otherwise you'll be hunted down and locked up in a maggot's nest.

new enemies..

so we got are self a qunicy with a broken hollow mask this  could be fun

I'm not sure how there can be any organization stronger than the soul society, ESPECIALLY after the time skip. Whoever waged war on them should be ready for the ass-kicking of a lifetime. Soon as I see my favorite characters Bankai (Kyoraku), I'm drop-kicking this manga until it ends.

Interesting chapter, I wonder who are these guy at the end
