Oh, Kubo. I didn't expect less from you
So, aside from the whole Ichigo is a quincy because of his mother thing, who else thinks this chapter seems to be pointing to the idea of AIzen becoming an ally?
Well seeing how kubo at the end of the war arc tried(and fail really fucking hard) and make Aizen look smpyathic(sorry if it's spelled wrong) I don't see why not.
So I'm guessing a couple of different things.
Never change Kubo~
This is a fantastic way to wake up in the morning before going to an Anthropology class.

Ichigo Kurosagi you're a substitute shinigami
and a hollow
and a fullbringer
and a quincy toothis is your life
Don't forget Visored.
So if Ichigo's Yhwach's kid, why's he got his Isshin's bankai?
(Also lol @ the chapter title being on the last page.)
Love how Ichigo's Quincy powers have been perfectly foreshadowed.
Yes, and the plot twist falls neatly into what we've been told so far, about Ichigo's lineage for example.

Lol, it's total madness over at Bleach Asylum. I never go there, but this chapter made me.
Whoa…..new chapter AND new thread?!
goes off to read
Walked into Bleach Asylum…
saw 40 pages of discussion on this chapter, and noted that 22/37 voters perceived this chapter as "perfect" (Too scared to actually read the posts). Went to OP section, saw two posts on the recent chapters. One being:
"Arc is too boring and predictable now. Oda please end it soon."
Then I laughed myself silly due to the irony and left.
Damn what sort of content in a bleach chapter produce 40 pages of discussion already?
I still think Isshin is Ichigo's father.
Bach is probably Ichigo's grandfather.
One being:
"Arc is too boring and predictable now. Oda please end it soon."Then I laughed myself silly due to the irony and left.
The irony here is really overwhelming.
Well! It's almost Halloween, and it's appropriate I read Bleach, because….the chapter was terrible.
First of all, we have Kubo's prime weakness again: large, blank panels where you can't even tell what the hell is going on. But no. Oh no, that wasn't the worst part.
Kubo decides to throw some BS explanations our way! So Ichigo used Blut Vene because....his reiatsu.....absorbed the renmants of Kirge's jail and awakened the "memories" of it? Uh what the hell? Reiatsu is not a living thing. It's a spiritual property! How the hell can it have memories?!
And no Bleach cliffhanger would be perfect without some dick-teasing. Bach taunts Ichigo, hinting at his own mother. Oh god.....nono, please nothing about Masaki being anything BUT a regular human. Then Bach finishes his spiel by saying "my son....born in the darkness". Well, what could that mean? If Kubo decides to retcon and make Bach Ichigo's REAL father, or something......I can't tell you how enraged I will be. Seriously, I will lose it. Hide your children, lock your doors, and arm yourselves, people. I will NOT be happy.
bangs head And why did Bach have to leave? Something Aizen did?
But you know what's the sad part? Or...well, the messed up part? This chapter only proves how much Ishida is needed in the narrative, because Ichigo is just an awful fit to this situation. Completely. Bach being a relative of Ishida, that wouldn't be so bad. Bach being a relative of Ichigo? Kubo needs a lobotomy.
And Kubo proves he cannot stray from a story path established earlier, because this WHOLE chapter was like Fake Karakura. Aizen/Bach messes with Ichigo's head and implies some retcon-crap "twist". Blondie/Gin watches the whole scene with interest. Ichigo cannot beat Aizen/Bach. Aizen/Bach retreats with Blondie/Gin to another place instead of finishing their fucking attack like smart villains. Ichigo is left frustrated and angry.
cue training arc
Actually, guys… It WAS foreshadowed. Kind of.
Remember when Aizen said "You're a shinigami and..." and got interrupted by Isshin because it's not time yet for talking about that stuff and shit?
This would actually be quite solid foreshadowing, if not for the fact Kubo retconned this cliffhanger right in the next chapter by changing the phrase to "You're a human and…". Now it just looks retarded, but it's kind of obvious he intended to aim at foreshadowing things like that.
Yes, it is still retarded. Looking back though, it still closes some holes. While ripping open a phletora of new holes though.
I am starting to want to throttle people who act like predictable is some flag they can hoist up to prove something's awfulness.
When saying something is predictable, ask yourself, would the UNpredictable be an improvement? Would Luffy saying Caesar is his half-mother and obtaining his gas powers REALLY be better?
Bleach fans will nod along passively to what I just said.

I guess, but foreshadowing or not, the idea of Ichigo being connected to Quincy blood does not please me. The guy already has powers from every other group in the Bleach world, and adding in Quincy would kill the very last thing that makes him remotely unique. See:
-Has orange hair? So does Orihime
-Is a Subsitute Shinigami? So was Kugo
-Has Hollow powers? So do the Vizards and to an extent, Chad
-Had fullbringer powers? So did the terrible Fullbringers.
-Has a shit ton of uncontrolled reiatsu? So does Kenpachi
-Has a Bankai that condenses power to a thin sword? So does Yamamoto
-Is fast in his Bankai state? Means jack now, because plenty of characters have shown to be fastest then him AND have blitzed him
-Er, human child of an actual Shinigami? Yuzu and Karin
-Has….Quincy powers? Uryu, Ryuken, and ACTUAL QUINCIES
...Technically he is unique, in that he does have all these powers/properties at once, but there's nothing of his own creation, his own merit. Having all these powers comes off as more Mary Sue-like than anything else, like Kubo took things from everybody else and slapped it all together.
I am starting to want to throttle people who act like predictable is some flag they can hoist up to prove something's awfulness.
Predictability in itself is not a bad thing. The problem is when the story is predictable because of its bland, uninspired repetitiveness. I swear the same thing happens in Bleach multiple times. Predictability is great like "yay the hero wins and the villian loses", but not when "oh everyone is losing, here comes Ichigo to save the day with his megaman powers, so on so on."
So not only did Kubo push Ichigo's group on the back burner ,but now he is pawing of THIER story lines on his man character.
What is the point of Ishida's character anymore if him being a Quincy is overshadowed by [[cant believe I'm saying this]] Ichigo being one?
Even with the Fullbring arc ,where Chad should of been the one to develop character and his power. But Alas.
How can you even compare Kishi's writing with this guy? At the very least the Naruto series is better than Bleach.
could that mean? If Kubo decides to retcon and make Bach Ichigo's REAL father, or something…...I can't tell you how enraged I will be. Seriously, I will lose it. Hide your children, lock your doors, and arm yourselves, people. I will NOT be happy.
Is it weird I read this part as "lock your spoons" ? :ninja:
@No:
Is it weird I read this part as "lock your spoons" ? :ninja:
Nah. Lock your silverware away too, I may steal it and gauge my eyes out if Kubo continues to drive me insane.
bangs head And why did Bach have to leave? Something Aizen did?
Aizen hypnotized him and screwed his time perception at least thats what i got from pandas translation. The funny part is that Aizen "lost" his sword didnt he? so how can he use that power? plotholes ftw
Holy shit Kubo really?!?
Ichigo's father and mother must suck at their jobs if they let a weak hollow kill her.(Just wait until the retcon to that!)

Isn't it a bit far fetched comparing NF and AP?
Man this is freaking stupid. FYI though not defending the series but its not a total stretch. Surprised there aren't more people like Ichigo. I mean the criteria is only this.
1. Mom is quincy, Dad is Shinigami.
2. Mom being quincy obviously would survive a hollow at some point, thus allowing for Fullbringer abilities.
If you meet those two criteria, you can be a Shinigami, a Fullbringer and a Quincy, just like Ichigo.
Only one hard to get would be becoming a Vizard.
THE BIGGEST BULLSHIT of the series is still the powerlevels. I mean Ichigo originally gains his shinigami powers because Rukia loses to the weakest Hollow in existence. Then as others have said Ichigo's mother is killed by a Hollow who was at least a strong hollow, but still a HOLLOW. No shinigami should ever lose to a Hollow.

And doesn't he need some super long way of using his power. Like he has to fully explain his swords power in order for it to work.
So the bad guy sat there listening to Aizen explain his powers in order to become entranced by them? That is if he had his sword back like you say he doesn't.
@Sonic:

He just means what they both mean to their respective fandoms. Not quality
I've read some bad fanfictions in my life. But I honestly think I've never come across one this bad.

So I'm guessing a couple of different things.
- Isshin either left SS because he saw the Quincy genocide and wanted to save his beloved wife.
- Ichigo's mother is Ryuken's sister.
- Ichigo's mother is Bach's daughter.
Bach called Ichigo his son. If number 3 is true then Bach fucked his daughter.

Get this stuff on page 1, stat!
Wow, try as I might want to find something positive about Bleach's chapter that simply isn't happening (I'm an optimist). This Ichigo's mother thing is just ….sad. The second I saw Aizen's face in the chapter I cringed.
Whats next? Aizen turns out to be Ichigo's mom and the Aizen face was just an illusion? Or was this all part of Aizen's plan all along. Hmm prolly shouldn't type this it might give Kubo more ideas...
Oop, we are four pages in. May I do the customary honor of posting the threads' history?
Wow thank you.
Going to browse through them when I find the time, I'm sure there is some aged comedy gold waiting for me!
I like how Blut Vene just popped up out of nowhere. Ishida couldn't use it all this time even after training for years, and herpderp Ichigo uses it without even realising it.
Ishida's entire character has now become useless, good job Kubo.
Kubo and Kishi excel at destroying side characters, for the sake of their MCs.
And Kubo proves he cannot stray from a story path established earlier, because this WHOLE chapter was like Fake Karakura. Aizen/Bach messes with Ichigo's head and implies some retcon-crap "twist". Blondie/Gin watches the whole scene with interest. Ichigo cannot beat Aizen/Bach. Aizen/Bach retreats with Blondie/Gin to another place instead of finishing their fucking attack like smart villains.

Kubo: This is how you do pacing everyone!!!!! If you don't like it go live off DUST AND RAIN!!!!!!!
Considering bleach, it's entirely possible Ichigo is both Bachbeard's AND Isshin's son. Just from the top of my head - one impregnated the mother, while the other one infused reiatsu somwhere down the line. Of course, Maestro can go for an even more convulted route, or just hide behind 'metaphor'.
Still love how Ichigo should've known all this since two damn arcs ago.
Welp, at least there's a reason for Buckbeard looking like Zangetsu.
Welp, at least there's a reason for Buckbeard looking like Zangetsu.
Oh boy, I really hope Kubo won't use this as an anchor point…..
but then again, I'm still convinced he forgot how to draw old man Zangetsu and made bishi Tensa Zangetsu instead two arcs ago.
Not really angered by this. How can anyone? Ichigo has had vizard/hollow powers for a long time now. See nothing to him getting quincy powers.
The way in which he attained or awakened isn't nothing to complain about either. The main fact that reiatsu is some spirit power leaves the door wide open to explain away how a dormant power suddenly came to the forefront after absorbing energy from one (I guess fighting Ishida wasn't enough).
Now that I think about it this is no different than Yusuke being related to one of the demon lords and him awakening his demon powers when he went to demon world in that fight with multiple personality former spirit detective guy in Yu Yu Hakusho.
The only reason I doubted he would get quincy powers is cuz I didn't see him carrying a sword and an energy bow but now we got quincies using swords so he'll probably use the reiatsu absrobing power. Now is the time to assume he'll eventually get Orihime's powers but use it in a different way, probably for time travel or some shit.
The stupidest thing is that now Quincy isn't something you train to be, but something you're born as.
Poor poor Ishida is getting so freaking gypped. He sure as hell could've used some iron-hard bloodvessels all those times he's been spilling his guts on the ground.
Facepalm That's it. I give up on Bleach. Who ever named this thread Captain Planet; there's greatness in your future.
I thought it was always something you were born as or was it just coincidence that Ishida's father was a quincy?
Plus it's not like killing all the quincies could stop someone from being a quincy if you could just train to be one. I figured Ishida was always training to be a better marksman while increasing his speed, and to control the power he absorbed.
@The:

Nah,the stupidest thing is his awesome Quincy mama being slain by a crappy ass hollow,somehow.

Family bussiness?
Nah,the stupidest thing is his awesome Quincy mama being slain a crappy ass hollow,somehow.
Since Bach didn't state it outright, I'm praying Masaki is not a Quincy. Praying, however futile it'll be.
You know, I can almost accept that as Shanks Syndrome
(though why Grand Fisher didn't eat Ichigo after eating his mother I don't get)
Speaking of, why hasn't Ichigo tried finding his mom in Soul Society? I mean, I know its hard, but considering how torn up he was over her death you'd think he'd at least try.
Or is it that souls eaten by hollows are completely destroyed?
Remember those little beginning sequences during the anime of Soul Society? "I'm Kurosaki Ichigo, subsitute Shinigami and bla!"
Try to imagine that with all of his circumstances now. I can only imagine an exasperated, shouting Ichigo, going "I'm Kurosaki Ichigo, substitute Shinigami, half-Hollow, Fullbringer, Bankai-wielding, Quincy human!"
Well…she might not have died because of a hollow attack. It's Kubo remember? So there's always a chance its going to be retconned and his mom is killed by one of Bach's guy. And haven't Chad & Orihime's power been retconned with every new arc? From Ichigho's reiatsu leaking to them, the Hogyoku stuff thingy granting their wish, and its a Fullbring. So Kubo still have to come up with a new explanation for Chad & Orihime this arc. Don't disappoint me Kubo!!!

I don't think so….Hollows consume souls to gain power, and if a zanpakutou's blade purifies them, wouldn't the other souls be freed?
If so, Masaki was freed the second Isshin cut down Grand Fisher. And if so, no one gave Ichigo the memo.

I think if a Hollow eats your soul you disappear from reality or some bullshit like that.
EDIT: Nevermind…. someone got to it before me.
Ichigo is a substitute shinigami, can turn into a hollow, and can use fullbring.
But can he see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
