This guy being able to block the old man's flames is not the same as him being able to match the old man's power.

It can go either way, and that pisses me off. I hate when Kubo is doing it.

Maybe not that he is as strong as grandpa, but his flames may be(I know in terms of strength reiatsu and other shit comes in the count). That possibility I call bullshit. And I know that this can be only that guy blabbering(all in all Espada were overhyped and they were cut down like bitches) but it can be another afterthought of Kubo.

I love that so far the fights feel quite fresh - you do not have the illusion of "shifting power" - the bankai-less captains have to use their creativity and quincy side is also shown to be more powerful.



In a sense, only the quincies "power up" for now, while captains have to match it by creativity and strategy alone. Which is great so far.

They also didn't come off unscathed from the incident, he and the others had quite a few singes on them. However, Toshiro doesn't know this though. And before you guys say... but you can't use flames to block flames... it's using the theory that one flame user can control another flame users flames. Simple as that.



^this.



Its a common psychological tactic. He won't say "we barely survived by blocking it out with my flames".



Yup. And Toshiro's personality means he might actually fall for it. Or he might not.

LOL Mayuri impressive as always xD

Damn, Soi and Hitsugaya.. both of them in bad situation v,v

5/5

Just end this already, it's not even fun anymore

*Sigh* Kubo is Indeed the troll king. I believe he is just trying to make it go longer as it can since in a classic Shonen cycle, good guys don't lose badly twice. Next chapter both Toshiro and Soi fon will probrably miraclously survive and unleash an attack that they also mastered during their recent training which will win the fight, simple as that.

Okay that this little Sternritter thinks his flames are stron like yamamoto's, laughed really hard. But it seems he has a huge ego. Soi Fong really got surprised by that guy she is fighting. As far as I remember Shunko strengthens your defense too so she should survive the attack.

But I think the comeback was in a really surprising way. No Vollständig or something. Nothing that would indicate that they used a new power. Now it seems they just hold back at the beginning. But I think it's too early for a Captain too die so Toshiro will have learned too use his little Ice Illusion trick without Bankai and the fight will go on next week.



Edit: Is there someone else who thinks that the eye on the last page in the bottom left corner looks like Urahara's?

I wish they would bring up Konomaru again, i want to see what he got from his big ol' dog grandpa

*yawn* And it keep going on and on until Ichigo reappears.
