Bleach Chapter 500 Discussion

I'm hoping the owner of the sword will be the former captain of the 12th division. The one before Urahara. I can't remember her name. I have no idea why she'd be there but that would help develop some more plot and hopefully get the ball rolling on the introduction of The Royal Guard...

Ishida picking up Urahara's sword or Nel feeling that Ichigo is in danger and turning into adult Nel. It's a long shot, especially since it looks like Kirge was "sliced" and not "pierced", but Grimmjow seems too obvious... or perhaps I'm just trying not to get my hopes up too high followed by a classic Kubo-troll >__> Everything is possible in my opinion, could be Gin too... or Aizen.

First of, Ishida or Nel wouldn't attack Kisuke.And he would recognize their reiatsu immediately, at least Ishida's.Im 90% sure its not them...

And besides, judging from Urahara's face expression, it's someone he knows...and since he's not acquainted with Grimmjow, it couldn't be him.

Its the opposite.He reacted like ''WHOS THAT'' because he didnt recognize the persons reiatsu.And yes, he never met Grimmjow, so its even more possible.

Why do you think Grimmjow wouldn't be strong enough?! Seriously, more than 17 months have passed since his loss, you don't know how strong he could have become in that time, everything is possible.

This.Its not like Grimmjow would sit and eat pocky's for almost 2 years.



Grimjow would not be able to get to that level and he never displaying this level fo cutting power. He would have to be in resurrecion to do any kind of such damage(seriously, dude was splti in half by huge force) and then he would not have such a sword.



Considering its 500th chapter and its clearly someone powerful, I'd say its new and important character. Every anniversary had something HUGE happen in this manga.

So let me start by saying this, Bleach is SO much better than Naruto at the moment.

Now then, this chapter was pretty good in my opinion :) Finally, that ending!!!!!! Who could it be? Maybe Grimmjow? Can't wait to find out :D



By the pure fact that its an ACTUAL BLOODY WAR instead of a necrophiliac hug fest, its ALREADY better than naruto.



The fact that last 10 chapters or so managed to hold up and retain the same intense atmosphere is also a huge plus.

The reason I think it's someone from the Royal Guard:



Hiyori said she smelled Shinigami when there was a rip in the wall at the start of this arc. All captains and Lieutenants were in SS. HM had no king or anybody in charge. It would make perfect sense for the SS King to send someone to assess HM and collect info/data. This is just another idea that came to mind. Feel free to discuss :)

The only new faces I want to see are the Royal Guard.

And who do you think you are to judge that?

lol it's clearly Ashido that showed up at the end to save the day! No but seriously my guess is grimmjow or another random arrancar.

It is probably Grimmjow that finally killed the Kirgue, although I hope it is someone else.  I don't like Grimmjow, mostly cause he stabbed through Rukia.



I wouldn't be surprised if it is Isshin or and adult Nel though.  It would be funny if it was Hiyori and she hit Urahara next chapter C:

I don't get it why everyone hopes it to be Grimmjow... it would kinda spoil the whole damn Arc and show that Kubo wasn't able to make up for the failure at Final Getsuga and the Fullbringer Arc, since the Arc then would only again be based around Ichigo vs Grimmjow.. which we already had! This would be kinda boring, I don't know how others see it but I would like it to see an Arc that we didn't have before and not repeating damn fights.



I actually like the Idea that it either is Uryuu's Father, somone new or just none of the hell damn fights we have seen. There are so many people I want to see fightning a serious 1 on 1 like Isshin, Yachiru, Uryuu's Father (sorry.. don't remember the name) or someone who we haven't seen yet.. but most people hope for something old that already happened...



~sorry, but I am a total Anti-Nostalogic o-o



Yeah, but we haven`t seen Grimmjow and Ichigo as allies, only enemies.  Grimmjow as a Hollow would be the final piece in Ichigo`s army (He is a Shinigami, Chado is FB, Orihime is ???, Ishida is Quincy, Grimmjow is Arrancar-Hollow and all of SS including Rukia/Renji are Shinigami as well.)



Hueco Mundo has no `King`, therefore it is vulnerable and un-controllable (there are still a lot of Arrancar alive and Hollow`s living in fear).  Grimmjow is also one of the only people left that can freely create and disperse a Gargantua casually from the remaining cast.  Also, if they are to truly change/save the world, they`ll possibly need cooperation from all three sides; Shinigami, Quincy and Hollows.



Oh yeah, Bleach Ratings would go up since majority want it too.

Not to mention, he has Hariibel, Nel, Loly, Menoly and Harribel`s Fraccion already set up for his recruiting Harem too.



Yeah I thought about the ally thing already.. just the thing is.. Ichigo and Grimmjow never would be allies because he HATES Ichigo... he actually hates anyone who looks down on him, which Ichigo did therefore he would never ally up with Ichigo, rather he would take the chance to kill him actually :b...



Ichigo never looked down on Grimmjow however he took it as he was when Ichigo was more thinking themselves as equals and saying things like "I can't get hurt anymore." Grimmjow thinks himself as the King, a being above all else, so even if someone like Ichigo(who he considered trash) stood on equal footing WITH Grimmjow that pissed him off thinking he was looking down on him.
