Bleach 396

So Aizen made his own version of the "Just as Planned" speech. I think Kubo's just pulling this out of his ass now, though you can't say you didn't see something like this coming.


Its out on Mangastream

Only thing I failed to anticipate is the implantantion of the Hogyoku in himself.
Completely forgot about it. That, and the fact that he was surprised by Ichi's vasto'fication?[is there a proper name to that, btw?]

From the looks of it, battle[most likely one-sided] will commence again next chapter. That, or they`ll move back to Byak & Zaraki.

This is such bs!

What is? All looks pretty legit to me Azien plans everything and Ichigo doesn't have a chance and yet still will beat Azien in the end. That's Bleach what were you expecting

As for this chapter I felt there was so little half of it was a flash back and then it was just Azien explaining things we already know come on we know hes unstoppable Kubo just move on.

I still holding on to the "this isn't the final battle" we shall see though.

You're absolutely right.. This is what bleach is. Full of the expected..

LOL! This is so true.

I wonder... If Ichigo was to get caught in Aizen's hypnosis, will Hollow Ichigo take over?

Ichigo Kurosaki everything you have done up to this point is just as Aizen have planned is just as i planned

I can't wait for someone to make a "Just as planned" parody of Aizen.

The more pressing question...


Is that Starbucks?


Anyway, big what the fuck here.
Kubo just threw all his awesomeness out the window and pulled an "OLOL NOONE'LL SEE THIS COMING" at us. True, I didn't see it coming, but that doesn't make up for the fact that it's a stupid idea. Next up, he'll probably say something like, "AND NOW, I CAN MAKE YOU THE ULTIMATE WEAPON OF MY ARMY. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
<.<;;

nonono, body switching

Gin is probably behind all of this. He just used Aizen....

Yes my friend that is starbucks

I think everyone is forgetting or not noticing is this:



Yamamoto apparently just KILLED HIMSELF TO STOP AIZEN.

And in response, Aizen receives all of a Flesh wound that is instantly healed.

Kubo killed THE most Badass Character in Bleach, to prove, what? that Aizen is strong?

Also, note Aizen's face in the close-up on Panel 2. It looks almost nothing LIKE him. It looks more like a girl or a Jester then Aizen.

I mean, if he seriously just died, that's so stupid. I mean, a guy who Aizen admitted is stronger then him, and he dies for all of 'Ow. My arm. Oh, it's okay, I have Absorbed something that's powers are insanely undefined but apparently can both give Shinigami Hollow Powers, Hollow Shinigami Powers, and combine with my body without making me a Vaizard.'

I also have to wonder what was going through Kubo's Mind at this page:



I seriously got a 'This just turned into a Slash-Fic' feeling when he's holding the Reitsu and complimenting it like that. The only thing that was missing would have been if it was gooey looking

Chapter needed more Yama

you are full of win rep+

I thought he had just blown off his arm, but whatever. It's as nebulous as usual.

Anyway, I have ten bucks on Ichigo's dad showing up and schooling Aizen or something. THERE NEEDS TO BE A DEUS EX MACHINA FOR THIS TO END. PLEASE LET IT END.

so Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Ichidad just got wiped off the script? thats nice

I don't think this will end soon. So most likely Ichigo's dad and the rest who aren't being shown right now will appear later on again.

I'm going to post how I think Bleach will go for the next Chapters.

THIS IS VERY LONG TERM, SO DON'T EXPECT INSTANT RESULTS.

This is in List Form regarding two plotlines, The Yammi and the Aizen.

Yammi Plotline:

New Yammi form has beaten down Byakuya and Kenpachi.

Grimmjow and the Privvion Espada appear and fight Yammi, appear to do some damage but ultimately fail to kill him.

Isshin and Ishida's Father show up, along with Yourichi and/or Kusike. They procede to Own Yammi Ass

Casulties: The Privvion Espada. Grimmjow will Survive, as will everyone else


Aizen Plotline:

Whoever didn't show up against Yammi will show up here. They will fight Aizen, and get beaten down, leaving Ichigo on his Own.

At least 1 member of the Court Guard Squad will appear, having realized the Severity of this Threat. One Member will engage in battle with Gin, who is revealed to be far stronger then Tousen was, HOWEVER, the Court Guards will reveal absolutely Insane Strength and the one member will Crush Gin like he was a fly against a Newspaper. The remaining members will attack Aizen, who will reveal his Bankai and Pwn Ass.

Ichigo's determination to not lose impresses the Hyogoku, which is revealed to be Sentient and willing to pick it's master. It picks Ichigo, and with the new Power gained from it, Ichigo beats down Aizen.

Hollow Ichigo uses the power of the Hyogoku to form his own Body, possibly taking control of Aizen, and engages Ichigo in a battle to the Death, which Ichigo eventually wins.

Casualties and severe Injuries: Soi Fon will lose an Arm, as it will be 'too far gone to fix', Yammamoto will be Dead, as will Kyoraku and Jushiro, or at least mortally Wounded. Hiyori will die, and Hachigan will be unable to recover his hand. Hitsugaya will be completely healed, as will Momo.

Those are my Predictions, and I will mark them out if they turn out right or wrong.
