Bleach Chapter 497 Discussion

And they have yet to send Kenpachi out to slaughter everything that moves because...?



Oh right, because that would ruin the build-up they're making by killing an assload of random shinigamis and a few actually named ones.



Though it was cool to see that there are enemies that Kyouraku can't one-sidedly murder only by using his Shikai. Or he was just lazyin around like he usually does. Kinda hard to tell...

So how come Kyoraku didn't have a hole behind his head when he was shot by that Quincy?



Maybe he got shot in the corner of the eye (scull took the hit and quincy bullet might break on impact). Managed to keep the eye but there is way too much blood so he shut it. At any rate it looks bad. He now will have much harder time evading that quincy guy with just one eye. Only his sure hit power and other haxes might be able to save him. Maybe he can hide himself in shadow and then use Bankai to one-hit-kill the old man before he gets to use the seal.



Color game - White. You loose Quincy.



Matsumoto looks good but there was too little of her in those few panels.

SS is saved if Kenpachi doesn't get lost in Seretei... Someone get this man a GPS or something. Mayuri might have modified his Bankai again to counter the quincy hax.



Does that mean next chapter we will see how Ichigo is doing?

And entire chapter to reinterate the captains can't use bankai but that they also can't win without bankai and then Kyouraku loses an eye.

What happened to his shikai and bankai in last fight? Did ichigo, isshin, urahra, yoruichi have some special powers and hypnotysm did not worked at all, so he had to relay on completely hogyuko.. or did i missed it somewhere? Ichigo at least didn't see the release, so he was unaffected. I'm not sure if it was ever said when Isshin was a shinigami, but I'm assuming it was before Aizen's time, so he wouldn't be affected either. Urahara and Yoruichi don't get a pass though as far as I can tell.

What.. he can release his shikai and bankai only once and then it's useless? I thought he can release it anywhere anytime.



I remembered Ulquiorra mentioned it in front of nnoitra. so it's not one time thing and how he was stronger than all other espadas if his zanpaktou was useless against them? just because of hogyouko?



And If it really is just one time thing than it's the most useless zanpaktou, just like it's very powerful if you see the release.

For an organization that's been around as long as Soul Society, they sure can't do shit without Ichigo. Must have been going through Shinigami like toilet paper.



Lame. 2/5

Damn it so slow...
