Was the last page his bankai? I thought that was just the zanpakutou preparing to go into bankai? (you know, how the flames disappeared)
I think that Yamamoto and Juha Bach will draw, then Bach will anoounce a temporary retreat, giving time for both sides to organise a strategy. SS might contact the Soul King for reinforcments and then the second phase of the war continues. With the pace this is going at, it doesn't seem like it's going to last even 2 years.It is his Bankai. I think things are gonna happen this way: Yama-ji will die, Royal Guards will enter the battle, Quincy will retreat, both sides will reform and make plans, Soul Society will attack the Quincy's base, arc will drag for 3 years and lots of things will be explained, and Bleach will be over in a matter of 4-5 years.
