Bleach Chapter 497 Discussion

meh hardly any development at all tsk tsk tsk



they just hinted that mad scientist shinigami can do a counter or antidote to the bankai stealing given proper time and analysis that they do not have right now

I can see a few Captains getting killed and the Royal Guard making an appearance.

A chapter full of reactions. So what will Ichido do? He's got his hands full at the moment! xD

oh boy. here comes ichigo to rescue. soul society is useless as ever.



Kubo.. Please give some real action to Kyouraku, Ukitake, Unohana. All those idiot captains who used bankai in last chapter doesn't deserve more action.

I find the captains pretty lame for a reason.. They are like "without bankai we can't fight them".. They didn't even bother to try.. F/



On the side note I was excited when I saw Grimmjow on the cover (which is a fanart).. Got trolled...

someone gonna steal the message to ichigo





pretty good chapter.

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.

How the hell did Kyoraku get owned for that brief fight so far like that?  One of the strongest taicho, defeated the 1st Espada w/o bankai, gets hurt like that against a Quincy??  I call BS.  Renji with another outburst, seriously don't like that guy, too similar to Ichigo.  Other than that another zzzzz chapter.
