Bleach Chapter 494 Discussion

Is this the beginning of the end of Bleach? The title sure is suggestive :P



Just the end of Soul Society under Shinigami rule.

I'm a little sad about Kira. I don't know why I am because I actually disliked how no one died in Bleach. I wonder if that's the end of him though. He didn't even die putting up a real fight :(.

Wow, a few unimportant characters die and already an entire Shinigami unit broke ranks. Soul Society, a government with a "military first" kind of policy, can't even impose stuff like discipline or chain of command on its security force. Now I know why nobody attacked Soul Society for a thousand years: if someone did the Shinigami would have folded like an house of cards.



Ane what was the point of that final panel? Maybe Kubo has a quota of Ichigo's scenes to fill for each chapter?



the "unimportant characters" ARE seated officers. THEY ARE the chain of command:



Captain Commander > Captain > Vice Captain > Seated officers > squad members



So yeah, Stern Ritters pretty much broke the chain of command since seated officers are what coordinates the squads. Whatever orders there might be, those who are supposed to deliver them might be way too busy dying.



Also there's no way for them to coordinate stuff since quincies are literally moving all around SS without staying in one position

I forgot I had read this, it´s thát boring.

Kira died?; really, Kira died?; nah, Kubo will pull a plotkai next chapter and he will survive.

they told him bleach is gonna get cancelled ....This, probably.

Didn't Kubo say at the 10th year anniversary that he's at about half of the story? Probably the publishers got a shock and said "No way, dude". :/



I don't care much about Kira dying, but this is a little ridiculous. I like Bleach but these ridiculous power-ups are annoying.

Looks like another Ichigo fight with mini-boss (who's lower in rank than others) that will take infinity, and then his ass will be kicked by sternritters, he will awaken his powah, and then his ass will be kicked by that beardy-quincy that survived battle with yamamoto 1000 years ago...Probably... *sigh*

Let's remember that neither shinigami nor Arrancar can do much about the Quincy power. So someone else has to save the day.

I am more convinced that after SS is wtfpwnd, Ichigo himself will free Aizen for help.





Somehow I believe that Aizen will be freed amidst the chaos and will offer his aid to ichigo by himself for the sake of his ulterior motives (therefore adding even more poettential sides):

1-the good guys

2-the bad guys

3-and the potential traitot X-bad guy.



So let's make predictions about who is gonna die.

Genryusai for sure. I place my bets on the fox-captain(cant remeber his name)

and he will go with a phrase saying "Tousen I'm gonna join you soon".



I just hope that the power levels won't be completely bullshit again and that the captain will stand on equal foot against the stern....ngaghasf

Gawd, I take a break and catch up at the worst possible moment... "Bleach - The closing chapter part 1"... such a cliffhanger.



Annoyed by the fact that Kira was served up as fodder like that just to prove that these Quincies are captain class but other than that, the last group of chapters have been an AMAZING read.
