Bleach Chapter 518 Discussion

such an awesome chapter and i'm so happy to see that the fullbringer arc wasn't a complete waste lol. Though it does raise another question.



Now that ginjou is back doesn't he also need to have his bankai repaired? I remember it breaking during the fight with ichigo. Or was ginjou actually using his bankai power via his fullbring sense he was in human form at the time. That means couldn't he technically have an alternate bankai form(his true bankai) when in soul reaper mode? I hope i'm right because it would be awsome to see him fight using his inverted bankai(similar to ichigo's current bankai, zapakuto dominant/ fullbring passive).

The fullbringers are alive?! Freaking A...

And I was hoping it would be confirmed that it's really Grimmjoww on the last part(s) of the chapter but did not. Dx I wanna see his face already! xD I can't believe the Fullbringers are allied with Ganju now. That's awesome. Speaking of Ganju and Kuukaku, it's been a long time since I've last seen them both!



Wow, what a great chapter! Way to go! I enjoyed it! :D

Grimmjow was definitely with Urahara.  You can tell from the hakama sash, and how he had his sleeves rolled up his arm when they showed it.

i don't understand why Kubo didn't just reveal that sword was Grimmjow instead of making us wait all this time, but I guess Kubo had to be Kubo.Kubo and his teasing (read as trolling). He probably did a new design for him and gave him stronger powers, he just want us to be more excited. (read as trolled)



Its more of a typical shounen genre logic than "trolling"(got i hate this fad)





If character has a powerup and is intended to get an epic entrance, you most likely won't see him before the said entrance. its one of the reasons why many of us here thought something was amiss and shady with Fullbringers when Ichigo just jumped in and out of supposed powerup without much buildup, right after training.

Cue an epic team  up of Ginjou, Aizen, Ichigo and Grimmjaw, with Aizen and Ichigo double-teaming Juha first(by now I am pretty convinced that Ichigo will be a key-figure at establishing a peace between the two races, instead of yet another genocide)  and possibly soul king for the final fight.

Ichigo and Aizen... Uryuu and Ryuuken...  Isshin, Urahara and Yoruichi...  Grimmjow and Arrancar/Hueco Mundo army... Ginjou and Fullbringers... Gotei 13, Vaizards and Shiba Clan



Vs.



Sternritters and Juha Bach



Vs.



Royal Guard and Soul King

--



We are in for one hell of a finale. I also see Orihime's powers playing a huge role in all this.

Zanpakutō does not kill anyone, it is against it's logic.

Balance of the souls, remember? I don't know how you could forget about it when it's currently one of the main topics in the manga.

Zanpakutō purifies the soul.





That's pretty relative but I'd say that sending someone to Rukongai with no memory of his past life and himself waiting only to be born anew in the world is kind of 'killing someone'.

Another point to make, about "getsu", sorry to disappoint you, but who did Ichigo's katana belonged to before he took it together with the powers? Are you saying that she is also a family member?Or is it a flaw in the logic?

Flaw in the logic is actually possible with this one, but who cares.





In chapter 1 Ichigo take Rukia's shinigami power but lose it when Byakuya come and break his soul core (Or whatever it's called).

Then he is trained by Urahara and develop his own shinigami power he always had before even meeting Rukia.

Zangetsu is his power, it's not Rukia's.



Zangetsu, Engetsu, Suigetsu are the three -getsu type zanpakutou we've seen so far and their user are all related to some extent (I still beleive Aizen is Isshin's brother or something along those line).

So the three Fullbringers who died went to Soul Society? At least that's how it looks for now. Don't see any other option as for example Ginjou's body had been taken before to the real world.
