Bleach Chapter 513 Discussion

I have a theory regarding Ichigo's 'new' power. I think he possesses some sort of ability to absorb powers. Think Peter Pitrelli from Heroes. Peter could absorb and use a person's ability just by standing close to them. The only difference is that Ichigo's ability activates when he receives a life threatening blow.



Shinigami:

Remember how he became a Shinigami in the first chapter: He absorbed Rukia's power after she stabbed him in the stomach.



Full Hollow:

Though it wasn't explained (poor job on Kubo's part) during his fight with Ulquiorra, Ichigo got a chunk of him blown out [he died and absorbed Ulquiorra's ability]



Fullbring:

Didn't he have to die? I'm not sure. Didn't consider that an 'arc' so I didn't read it.



Quincy:

Now in Chapter 513 he received another life threatening blow [and absorbed Quincy abilities].



Kubo doesn't give you much to go with anyway so please take this with a pinch of salt and warm up to the idea that it probably won't be explained. Ever.

RIP Byakuya~



I expected Ichi to lose in the first exchange after seeing him lose his cool.

I thought he was half-dead there won't lie or dead again lol when he was seemingly stabbed near his neck lol.



Ichi using Blut Vene there? I really wonder how and earth he manage to use/learn a Quincy technique...guess it has something to do with the mystery visitor in HM may be?

Flashback may be next chapter of how he escaped?



Still Blut won't make Ichi immune to damage from Bach if he goes more seriously I guess.

Oh and on a side note I wonder how they would've made him join there ranks exactly? How could they possibly force him to I really wonder...



Look forward to the next chapter!~



We already know how Ichigo escaped - Akon opened the gateway for him  in previous chapter.

O_O another Awakening Strawberry?

are you fu**ing kidding me? half the people here have absolutely no idea what the hell they are watching......what is blut vene?!!? i think it has been mentioned like 100 times already and they still don't know what it is....no wonder many of you don't like bleach....'cause you have no idea what the hell you are watching

1) The perspective of the sword in ichigo's neck changes. The first panel we see it, his neck is hidden by a rock. But the sword looks like it's penetrating his neck. Look how the blade goes past his chin. I originally thought he somehow missed. The next panel shows the sword barely penetrating his neck. Dafuq?



2) Regarding ichigo using blut vene. We've seen it time and time again where the opponent assumes he knows whats going on. First thought is Aizen v FGT Ichigo. He says ichigo's thrown away his reiatsu to improve his physical attributes. Not sure how many people believed it but i thought it to be true as well. Until we got shown different a few chapters later. Remember it was Juha who said it was blut vene, not Ichigo. He could be wrong.



Anyone seeing an epic similarity between gin and byakuya's last words? hehe

After 500 chapters of no deaths for the good guys, we now have a Gantz/Game of Thrones move, oh and look Ichigo can now do Quincy techniques, how original.

his mother was possibly a quincy, which would mean that it could possibly cause him to activate quincy like powers too.

No, please, no! Hereditary quincy skills? Inherited with his mother's blood? And this skills within blood protecting the son when he's about to die? I think I've read that somewhere XD

Don't do it K-sensei. It would be sooo...disappointing...D:

I'm not sure I'm ready to swallow this "Ichigo's mom was a Quincy" pill that many in this thread seem to be (or at least preparing to) prescribing. That would mean that as a Quincy his mom was killed by a lowly Hollow. Pretty pathetic unless she lost her powers much like Isshin lost his powers. I don't think his mom would necessarily need to be a Quincy for Ichigo to able to manipulate Reishi. I'm not dismissing the theory outright. But I feel it is more unlikely than likely that Ichigo's mom was a Quincy.



Short chapter... too short. I can't believe Kubo has made two really short chapters back to back like this.
