Bleach Chapter 552 Discussion

I did not understand it a little, how the did hitsugaya hollowfied his bankai?

I love it when Urahara and Kurotsuchi explain things.

Good chapter.

Yes, but the Hollow was made differently, as said it was made with a Shinigami as its base, so she was affected differently than if she were hurt by a normal hollow.

Having a shinigami as it's base shouldn't make a difference. The stolen bankais are filled with the spirit energy of the shinigami who owned it but yet that didn't stop the pills from working.



-partially hollowfied bankai inside of Cang Du: poisonous



-completely hollowfied asauchi bites Masaki and enters her body: no poison



Both zanpakutou spirits. Both hollowfied. Both contain a shinigami's soul. Both inside of host who are quincy. Yet the outcomes were different. All we can do for now is speculate until Kubo decides to give us an answer.

She didn't even show any symptoms until the day after she was bitten and even then she was showing signs of a person undergoing the early stages of hollowfication, not corrosion. According to this weeks chapter that shouldn't have even been possible because the hollow's soul should have been eating away at hers rather then fusing with it.



After re-reading chp. 534 nothing about what was happening to her lines up with what they are saying now. Ryuken has no idea what's going on and was initially trying to hide the fact that she was bitten from the others. Katagiri says Misaki needs to be purified, not because she thought Misaki's life was in danger but because she was worried about "the quincy bloodline being tainted". And last but not least, Ryuken's mom's reaction to seeing Misaki's hollow hole and what looks to be a scar on her leg from a past hollow attack. None of the other quincies were concerned about the supposed poisonous effects of hollow reiatsu that should have been killing her. Rather they were more concerned with her giving birth to what i would assume would be a fullbringer and her transforming into a monster, which again according to this weeks chapter should not be possible.



I guess you can claim that White being an artificial hollow, for whatever reason, isn't poisonous to quincies like real hollows. HOWEVER, there is absolutely no reason why the Ishida clan would be ignorant to the fact that being exposed to hollow reiastu erases their very existence. I don't care how much they might have strayed away from tradition, they should know their own weakness.



Well yeah, the hollow Aizen created was created with a Shinigami soul, not Hollow, so that is that is probably the reason why she was able to actually go through Hollowfication. They said Hollows are poisonous to quincies, but not Hollows that are created from Shinigami. Anyway, what I'm guessing is while the Hollow rots them, the process can be stopped just so long as they don't let it sit for too long and the wound is not fatal. Which is probably why Katagiri wanted her to be checked by the parents. The scar, which we're not sure is from a hollow or not could be an example of that 'rotting' as the skin looks terribly scarred in comparison with her normal skin tone. Anyways, I'm not 100% sure and hopefully they'll explain it more as it goes on, but I think they probably over-dramatized it by saying the soul just withers away that quickly because of Hollow contact, it probably does and is poison, but not instantly kill them.

As expected, we would get something like this.

Urahara trolling like usual lol.  He and Mayuri's explanation + the pills seems fair enough, and it looks like the battles will be a bit more fair now.



Reveal Grimmjow already, this chapter/Urahara's words on Arrancar was like a teaser for his active role.  It was funny seeing Ulquiorra in that panel.

That sternritter has no right to use Hitsugaya's bankai. At least they found a way to stop them from using them. Urahara is a genius.
