Bleach Chapter 512 Discussion

Yea we all wanted it to be the zero squad, but that was not feasible. What would be the point of Bach stating last chapter that they need to leave, because the 0-squad would be coming soon, only to have the 0-squad arrive before they actually left. That would be a pointless miscalculation on Bach's part.



It was only fitting for Ichigo to arrive when he did. I really don't think that Ichigo will clash swords with Bach this early on in the arc. Seeing as when Ichigo arrived back in SS and they realized who it was, Blondie asked Juha if he would like him to "destroy it" more than likely, Blondie will step in to stop and hold off Ichigo allowing Bach, and the rest to make a hasty retreat.  We will, next chapter, probably see those two fight for a few minutes until, he too, manages to escape. Then later on after everything has settled down, the Zero-Squad will make their long awaited entrance into Bleach.



As for Ichigo's supposed current power level, it is obviously massive. The way he shocked Kirge even after he used Volstandig, and was easily dealing with him before Urahara made him a hollow hole; and also the way he just destroyed a sternritter with power higher than captain class in one shot is very telling. Another thing, aside from the fact that his bankai is already extremely fast, to me he seems to have incredible speed, even for himself.



And lastly is his confidence. The usual Ichigo would be uncertain, and apprehensive about fighting the guys that just massacred a bunch of captain class shinigami, including the CC. But, alas no, there is no hesitation and he is very decisive in his action's going straight for the Boss, to a level that we haven't seen since FGT. I personally don't think that the SR want a piece of Ichigo right now, save for maybe  Bach since he now has Yama's BK as well as other currently unknown powers.



Overall decent chapter and some great art. 3.5/5

Man, I only realized it now -  the guy not asked by anyone started to explain his powers. Almost all of them did that in this invasion xD. What a bunch of morons x).

Ichigo has come, yey!

lol that is all? Ichigo's entrance is just the whole chapter? what a short chapter that was

The art was pretty spectacular in this chap. And actually it managed to achieve the feeling of the full-blown epic entrance... too bad that for the sake of the whole chapter.

I like the establishment that Byakuya actually won't make it. From now on he just can't make it. DO NOT pull one of your miracles here, Kubo. Not after this chap.

Guess Unohana is still drinking her tea, and Ukitake and Shinji still run around to find anyone to fight.

4/5 from me.

EDIT: Btw. Bit of self irony from Kubo when Byakuya said about miserable defeat?

No dude, you're the one being confused here. The guy in pages 4/5 Akon and Shaz Domino are talking to IS NOT Ichigo. Remember, he lost contact with Akon many chapters ago. His breaking from the cage has a completely different history we're still not aware of. Ichigo appeared elsewhere, not at the Research and Development room.



Yeah they lost contact, but Akon knew Ichigo was trapped somewhere in Garganta. Who else would Akon be trying to create an exit/entrance for? Akon says, "Actually, I wanted to open it from here a bit earlier but... it wouldn't... work." It seems pretty apparent to me that he is talking about the cage Ichigo was trapped in and opening it from the exit by Senkai Gate, which is where Ichigo was heading before getting trapped, instead of the R&D Headquarters from which he fled. Contact would be reestablished if the cage had been broken. You can see the shards flying around Akon on page 2. So clearly he has broken some sort of wall/barrier. I assume the cube is some sort of barrier/room the team from R&D created to work on opening the exit. I believe Ichigo came through the hole Akon created, killed Shaz, and in his attack destroyed that cube/room. And R&D's objective was to get Ichigo to SS. So, Fai's assessment seems the most likely to me.



Hm, now that I look at it from that perspective, it kind of makes sense. But I'm still not convinced. Who's person behind the hole in the sky on page 5? He's clearly dressed in white, so it can't be Ichigo. Man, how confusing! >.<That's the Quincy who got killed

idk about you guys and about your crying about the chapter but i think i missed something why is Ichigo so beaten?



^

THIS.



its quite clear that something awfully bad happened.



True, and is it just me or does Ichigo's zanpakutou look slightly different? Another power-up while we weren't there?



I thought the same thing. Why was Ichigo so banged up? o_o

hopefully we will get to see.

nothing new in this chapter .. it was Ichigo .. not the ZERO's :cry:
