Bleach Chapter 538 Discussion

Pretty much sure it'll be a reforge. Also, what's with the asauchi being hollow-faced? I know it's Ichigo and all but...

----------------------------------------

Ichigo will undergo Asauchi training again to get a new or repair his Zanpaktou



Mod Edit: Removed link. Please only start a chapter discussion after you've read the chapter.

That last page actually piqued my interest. We always knew Sajin was different, but never really questioned his origins or possible links. This will definitely shed some light on that.



Can't wait to see Hisagi's bankai and Ichigo's zanpakutou. That new found determination, what took him and Renji quite a lot of time before only took Ichigo a simple glance his second time.

I think a lot of people (or just me) misunderstood the "show me your bankai" statement. I think Kensei suspects Hisagi is capable of 'waking up' his Bankai and learning to use it, I don't think he just has one stored up. Nor do I think all the other lieutenants have it either, that would be just... thick.



I believe Shuuhei achieved bankai somewhere during the 17 month timeskip, could have been a motivation to get over Tousen's death. He clearly still hangs on to the lesson "fear the sword" and the bankai of Kazeshini must be something he finds truly horrifying and is too afraid to use it. This is the barrier Kensei will use force to break and beat some sense into Shuuhei. The training is harsh, but that's how the Vizard rule, even they overcame their own fear when dealing with the hollow side.

OH GOD Ichigo is being awesome again ..i think that asauchi with hollow mask has something to do with the "Shiro Ichigo" ..

This chapter would be pretty good, if only Kubo didn't insist again with Ichigo's mary-sueness. Oh look, all the asauchi are bowing to him! He's so heroic! So perfect! Wow.



Ichigo is just badass like that.

Kamen Death Hollow!

Everybody is training and getting stronger~

I very disagree : learning of the bankaï and the shikaï and the powers from them are things that are done only between the shinigami and his zanpakuto. So Hisagi already has his bankaï. Kensei just wants to see the level of Hisagi's bankaï.



It's amazing to see Mashiro to use her punches.

I wonder what happened to Hyori and Lisa....
