Bleach Chapter 554 Discussion

The last 4-5 chapters have all ending with some sort of Deus Ex :\\

Pretty good set-up chapter. Komamura is back with his 'gift' mask and Shinji appears in his usual wacky entrance. xD Of course, we're reminded that the Sternritters are insanely overpowered. Even without stealing a shinigami's bankai they have immense power themselves. Ichigo calling Urahara at the end? Ichigo, you're needed on the battle scene. Also, I WANT GRIMMJOW ALREADY LOL!

Err, no. Were you not aware of the Vollständig? It's like the Quincy's trump card. Shinigami have their Bankai, Arrancar have their Resurrección, Quincy have the Vollständig. Read back through Quilge Opie's fight. I mean, it even goes as far as back to Ishida's fight against Mayuri in the SS arc, only that he used an outdated version called Letz Stil which drained him of all his Quincy powers.That's no issue, sure. But I'd like Kubo to explain why the Quincy bothered to steal the bankais when (chap 555 spoilers)
someone like Bambietta can end the war instantly with Vollständig or whatever.

1) Bach doesn't like long war.

2) And bankai is still "danger" for Quincies(whenever it's small but it still exist). And not to mention we haven't seen bankais of Zaraki, Urohara( :( ), those 2 guys with double swords. And shinigami use mostly bankai power(aside guy like Kuchiki Byakuya that use Kido) so stealing bankais makes them almost powerless(compared to quincies).

Toshiro passed out, guess he's out for the count for the time being so I'm assuming he won't fight that fire guy.

Main Quincy's all using Vollstaendstig now that the Captains respective Bankais have been returned, there looking way to OP in comparison to Captains right now, but let's see how they fair. Also I'm guessing then that Juha Bach will still have Genryuusai's Bankai then?



Wondering if both Shinji and Komamura will fight that Sternritter. I always expected Shinji to 1v1 of them and destroy them in Vaizard form. Well either way after all the wait I hope his Bankai is epic. I'm looking forward to seeing how Komamarus changed after his training, no doubt we'll get flashbacks on that though.



Urahara receives a call from Ichigo seemingly? I say it's way too soon for him to reappear so I'm thinking it will be some bad news or Ichi passing on some advice from the Royal Squad possibly. Or may be to let Aizen out? xD

Something about the way Urahara said "Kurosaki-san...?!" at the end with such a surprised look on his face leads me to believe he isn't referring to Ichigo...and he never called Isshin "Kurosaki-san"...if you know what I mean...



Well it did say "A sudden call...from Ichigo!!!" on the side of the page but that's an interesting point you make, guess we'll see next week.

You're right! Yamamoto is dead, so that means Juha still holds his Bankai. For some reason that totally slipped my mind.This also means that Juhabach can no longer use his Vollstandig. Though Yamamoto's 1 hit KO  bankai is probably far better than any quincy technique he has up his sleeve.

A chapter with Shinji is a good chapter.

+1

I wish to see some fight!

Things have turned around. Double edged sword for Bankai stealing. I was going to get a little upset if things turned around so quickly and the Quincy talk so much.



I am happy to see Shinji and Komamura.



Did Basterbane just...um...dragonball blew up the place?



Toshi... *Takes hat off* He pretty much did a desperate attack, ignored his wounds, and took out (?) Cang.
