Bleach Manga/Anime Discussion Thread II

If Ichigo loses his Shingami powers he'll probably get them back somehow, or he'll just have to rely on his Hollow Powers entirely from now on.

**see my earlier post**

Two quick thoughts:


1) If Aizen dies, the Hogyoku will simply inhabit someone else or open a portal to the King's Realm (since its power is supposed to be epic) and try to inhabit someone there.

2) If Ichigo loses his powers he'll either have Orihime restore them, or he'll have to do some kind of intense training to restore them.

Ichigo evolved into Ninjachigo!

Why does Ichigo even need to pull out the final Getsuga Tenshou at this point? He was spanking Aizen handily without it.

He wants to utterly curbstomp him. Utterly. With much overkill.

"Totally worth it."

Hey guys, new chapter of Uninvited Guest is up

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3505858/37/

Suffice to say, Aizen certainly knows how to make the power of plot work for him.

[Vaiyt]

The truth of the Yammy matter is that he can't actually move in his second transformation. His muscles are just too freaking huge. He's basically turned himself into a giant meat wall.

So there's no fight in Hueco Mundo anymore.

Kenpachi is too busy laughing his ass off at Yammy's expense.
Byakuya's frozen solid as his noble person his fighting it out with his instincts to follow Kenpachi's example.
Mayuri is occupied ordering Nemu around as she calmly cuts out chunks of Yammy's flesh.

To top it off, Yammy keeps getting angrier, and thus bigger. When Ichigo's fight ends, we'll find out that he's become bigger than a mountain. So they'll have to put him out of his misery before he makes Hueco Mundo collapse under his weight.

Maybe I missed it, but I'm surprised nobody has touched on this yet.

Obviously, this is how Isshin lost his powers and he regained them somehow, which means there is a way for Ichigo to as well...

Although, I have to wonder, what kind of threat did Isshin have to stop that required him to go to such extremes?

yeah, I thought about each of those things.

I find the second one particularly interesting. That would make for a decent Filler in the anime.

Not to mention what division/rank he was and when. I suspect it went down over 100 years ago, since we didn't see him in the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, though it's possible that at that time he simply wasn't important enough to be seen or mentioned.

I have a theory that he was a member of 4th Division, explaining why he became a doctor in the human world.

Ichigo uses Mugetsu. Aizen is overwhelmed. When it is over, Aizen is severly weakened, but not dead. Ichigo is beginning to lose strength. He heads over to Aizen to finish him off, but loses his Shinigami powers before he can finish the job. Aizen says this is his victory. His body slowly begins to recover. His sword disapears, and Aizen says it is because the Hogyoku has determined that Ichigo has become so far beneath him that his sword is not necessary here. Before Aizen can attack, beams of light stab his chest. Urahara is attacking Aizen with Kido. The chant is meant to actually follow up on the previous binding Kido he placed on Aizen back during their fight in fake Karakura town. The intent of the Kido is to seal Aizen and the Hogyouku, since it appears the Hogyouku will not allow Aizen to die. Aizen gloats that such a Kido will not work on someone as evolved as him. Suddenly his body begins to break apart, and Aizen's face is restored to his Shinigami form. He is surprised, but Urahara says that Aizen was weakened so much from the attack that now the Hogyouku doesn't recognize him as its full master anymore. Aizen and Urahara talk; Aizen says something to the fact of hating Urahara for his inactivity, saying that someone with his brilliance should have been doing more. This leads to talk about the spirit King and his importance to Soul Society. After one last angry exchange Aizen is sealed away by Urahara. So it sounds like the next arc is probably "stop Aizen from being released Arc."

I've got a lot of questions now.

Why did Ichigo even need to use Mugetsu? Was he trying to avoid a battle of attrition?

Also, where has Aizen been sealed? Into another dimension along with the Hogyoku?

[Sound Silence]

At first I thought, "this is lame", but after seeing the chapter...it makes me actually interested.

This actually brings back the "smart Aizen" and shows he had a bit more motivation (he kind got psycho there at the end...but it's interesting to know he had a bit more inspiration to take over everything than just "rar i want power"). It's more in line with his original characterization.

I'm actually looking forward to what happens next.

Chapter out; so to answer at least one of your questions...well, kinda looks like he was sealed inside some long object; I don't know if he'll send that off somewhere next chapter though.

The conversation about the Spirit King *really* interested me. Aizen's anger that a man of Kisuke's intellect would let that "thing" control him.

...

Ten bucks says when Ichigo finds out what the Spirit King is and what it does/how it does it, he'll *agree* with Aizen that it needs to go, only he'll have a more heroic way of going about it.

And for those who jokingly said Urahara would turn out to be a villain--under that scenario I just pondered, he could very well be, but an antagonist rather than an out and out villain--he'd be dead set on protecting the Spirit King from Ichigo who thinks that its a system that should get lost.

I know I don't have a whole lot to go on here, but anything remotely like that I think would be a kickass arc.

EAT IT, TROLL! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I knew Urahara wasn't done, yet! How does it feel to get punked Aizen? HOW DOES IT FEEEEEEEEEEEEL! Nail that, you piece of s**t! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

**takes deep breath; calms down**

Well, I must say that was a rather interesting turn of events.
