Bleach Chapter 417

I actually wondered how many months, if not years, did he spend inside the Dangai.

I hope Kubo will show some sort of flashback (or short series of flashbacks) how Ichigo spent his time in the Dangai, or more specifically, his subconscious.

A good chapter, all in all. Ichigo did look more manly now, it's the hair.

He probably will, either next chapter right before the fight, or maybe right before (if at all) Ichigo dons his Hollow mask and starts destroying everything.

What I would like to see is Ichigo start shooting off Cero's like the rest of the Vaizards can.

Well he certainly had enough time he could have trained his hollow powers once he attained the final getsuga....or he somehow doesn't use a mask now because of it. I'm hoping he does use his mask during the fight, wonder if it would have changed again.

What the fuck happened did i miss something or did they just skip the end where ichigo was training with zangetsu?

They skipped the fight between Ichigo "Zanchigo" but considering Kubo loves flashbacks, right before Ichigo uses the final getsuga or goes hollow or something we'll see a flashback of it and him explaining it most likely.

you still gotta remember though ichigos still at a huge disadvantage
he is missing his sleeve so he is at 2/3's power right now, and wont be able to hold hoolw form as long

and Aizen isnt even in shinkai yet

ichigo's advantages
> powered up bankai > compressed power > powered up hollow form???
disasvantages
< 2/3 power < possiblygoing straight into bankai (overtime in a fight can drain your power fast especially going up against Aizen) >limited power
Aizen
>butterfly mode> unlimited power > special bankai > kido
disadvantages
< getting facepalmed < being a cocky bastard

Take into account the fact of how Ichigo's bankai works though, because his reiatsu is compressed he can stay in bankai for a shit load of time, and I'm pretty sure his hollow mask doesn't really have a time limit anymore.

But also take into account Aizen's shikai hasn't been released in front of Ichigo so it's absolute hypnosis doesn't really work on him, at least not yet. But yeah the sleeve is gone so he is down on reiatsu, unless Kubo trolls us and just throws that rule out the window lol
