Bleach Discussion 0: Hello Darkness my old friend
-
-
Aizen's appearance actually had me smiling. Something that Bleach hasn't achieved since Byakuya got wrecked by As Nodt
-
Someone? Not to keen on remebering names, eh Memento?
I don't see how Mayuri's amplification device is better for the plot than Kenpachi removing his eyepatch, or Vizards taking out some batteries they used to store Reiatsu, or whatever.
We come back to the fact that the whole deal with Reiatsu shortage was padding.
Besides, if you payed any attention, you'd know I don't have a problem with the device itself. It probably isn't portable and it probably has a limited area of effect, so I doubt it could be used anywhere outside Mayuri's lab and there was no fighting there in the second attack.
In regards to why Kenpachi removing his eyepatch being a better solution. I would have preferred that because it's a solution that isn't coming out of nowhere. We already knew about the eyepatch. As funny as it is that Mayuri always….always has a convenient way out of weird situations it's not something that should happen 99% of the time when he's on panel.
Also pardon me. I think I quoted the wrong person, but I'm on my phone. =P

Btw I think Aizen is just using ability akin to his Kyoka Sugetsu. I mean it wouldn't make sense for him to be able to use zanpakuto when it is long disappeared, but with his Hogyoku powers anything could be possible as long as he wishes for it strongly enough. Hence I think that it would be logical for him to redevelop abilities similiar to his lost zanpakuto's.
Anyway if most of his seals really were broken then he'd be long out of that jail. Hence to me it makes sense that he's "just showing illusion" to Kyoraku.

We don't really know what happened with Kyoka Suigetsu. The blade broke apart, but that doesn't have to mean that it got destroyed. Zanpakuto is a part of Shinigami, after all. It's possible the blade broke because there was no more need for it, and KS fused with Aizen. Something like Ichigo's Ultimate Tensa Zangetsu.
As for those seals, it's possible they aren't the only thing holding Aizen. I imagine they'd lock at least a couple of doors between him and the surface.

Referring to the title of this thread now I bet Aizen's lock picking skills are maxed out at 100.

Who said that lock picking skill went from 1 to 100?

-
Don't worry folks, Renji trained so that he can beat Aizen, remember?
-
aizen is a handsome motherfucker
-
A motherfucker is still a motherfucker.
-
Next chapter we better see the damn Elite SRs again, Ywach will have to let them fight now that the Soul King is still "alive"..
-
@Rogues':
Who said that locks were the only thing Aizen could pick?
He also picks a great hair stylist. Kinda going for the evil Superman look.
-
So every thread of Bleach now has to end with an Aizen picture. And it has to be added after the thread is closed and locked. In fact, maybe he's appeared in some of them now…

Wait, I totally just made a slightly better response than my last one.

There are 3 ways for the Bleach thread to end.
1. Blank space
2. Ink blot/Entire page of blackness
3. Aizen or Kubo's smug ass grin.
But I would prefer the Bleach thread to end with a little more…heart.
-
@Cyan:
Ha, I knew coming back to this thread after so long would be worth it
-
Will we get an explanation why the all-seeing eyes of bach didn't foresee ukitake doing this?
-
Don't worry folks, Renji trained so that he can beat Aizen, remember?
Ahahahahahahahahhaha
just like Yamcha trained to kill Cell xD
-
The panel above that one. 3rd seat of Ukitake's division. Kubo forgot to draw his beard.
Aizen: who said they're actually the same person?

In honor of the Sultan of Smirks comeback, how about a little bet here in the Bleach thread? Ripping the idea off directly from the HxH thread, i figure now is as good a time as any to hazard our guesses on Bleachs' remaining runtime.
Will it be 30, 60, 100 chapters, months or years?
How long will it take to take down Bach and his remaining alphabeth soup?
How many more surprise tweeests will be thrown at us?
How many mystery feet and surprise appearances does Kubo have left?
How many more wardrobe changes for Ichigo?As for stakes, idunno, the losers get insane!Ichigofaces or Chads as avatars for a month, whereas the winner gets to lord a fabulous Aizen avatar maybe…?
-
Aizen is Kubo's subconscious projection of his inner troll god.
He will amass all the top lels and top keks of the spirit world and ascend to a higher being than the spirit king himself.
His trolling will know no bounds. In his new universe there will be nothing but a vast whiteness where the only things that can be are trolling, powerups, his smug grin, and the infinite reach of his plotkai.
Aizen cannot be kill. He cannot into death. He will live.
Kubo wills it.
What did I say?
Glorious Aizen has come back to grace us with his troll glory.
-
He'll open a garganta for both him and Kyoraku straight to the royal palace.

You know, I'm in.
43 chapters until the end.

I think it will end at around 700 just like naruto did , 50 chapters for all the fights +10 chapter mini arc flash back like turn back the pendulum + 20 chapter climax and final fight …

I'm ok with the prizes, though I'd like something else if we try and make a multi-bet.
1- 70 chapters to go, and I'm probably falling way too short. Seeing how it took Kubo 6 chapters for the captains to just talk among themselves about barely nothing at all, 70 is definitely a low estimate. But 70 it is.
2- If asspulls like the Kamikakekuki count as tweeests, then. . .at least 6-7 more.
3- Let's see, Grimmjow is a pair of mistery feet, the ¿4? Fullbringers add another 4 pairs of mistery feet, I guess Birth Machine Arrancar Lady will join the fray with her posse again, that little arrancar girl that turn into a centaurus arrancar plus her posse, plus all known brothers and sisters plus surprise brothers and sisters. . .38 mistery feet?
4- I hope Ichigo is outta wardrobe changes, so 0.

-
Ooo prop bets:
I think there are two more tweests left: One for when Bach is seemingly starting to lose and one for when the last villain goes down. -
Don't forget, when Bach is overwhelmed, he can still Auswahlen his 4 Elites whatever the outcome of their fight is, and still get even stronger to the point that the backup shinigamis can't do jack. When it happens, Aizen will come out and steal the spotlight while belittling the good guys.
-
From the moment urahara defeated aizen, the troll king set all of this quincy invasion up and it all worked according to keikaku.

even Aizen being defeated in the first place was according to Aizen's keikaku

Aizen being born was part of the plan?

What the heck, I'll take a stab (no pun intended, I swear). We're at 617 (or 618, I forget)…..Kubo could certainly ride things out to 700, but anything could happen. Bach could summon like 50 new commanders or something just to give everyone a reason to fight.
I will say Bleach will end in chapter 685.
-
The Hiragana squad is comming.
-
"Aizen: Master of Unlocking"everytime i read the thread title, i always imagine Aizen pop-locking his way towards Shunsui all cool and smooth lol
-
It could also mean that Aizen might be the very man that will unlock Ichigo's full power :ninja:

Again?
16 Trollzens -
Again?
16 TrollzensAll I remember from "I knew you since you were born" crap was just Trollzen claiming some 'coincidences' happening related to Ichigo as his just for lulz. Did that actually work as powerup for Ichigo?
-
After read this chapter, could not but think in the motives of Kyoraku to free Aizen. They are desperate… even after Kubo's preparations reuniting Vizards and Fullbringers, Ishida and SS & HM friends.
Then got tired and remembered Aizen's goal and his impact on characters, like it.
How stupid i am.
-
Even if they manage to beat Bach, Ishida still has the "A" shrift. So he will get all Bach's powers and become even stronger than him.
Also Haschwalth might pull a "Gin" when than happens, he acted pretty ominously in some pages.
Add to that the return of Aizen, the misterious voice/sword (Grimmjow?) that appeared during the fight with Kirge, all the fullbringers that came on Soul Society(they came to do something…right?), the fact that we know pretty much nothing about Urahara's ultimate motives (he might as well turn out to be the real villain...) I think we have at least 85-90 more chapters of stuff. i won't even mention Ichigo's gang because they are definitely not gonna do a lot, but there is a possibility they become slightly less useless before the end. Oh and Kenpachi knows the name of his sword since his fight with Unohana, but that made no difference in his fight against Gremmy so there's that too...it would be nice to see that damn Bankai after all this time, or at least have an explanation for why he's still fighting like a caveman with zero character development.
-
That was certainly a thing. Stuff was said, and things apparently happened. So what happened was the last bunch of chapters were pointless, as Ichigo's mistake was quickly rectified. We had a bunch of pages with nonsense going between Shunsui and Aizen. Also lol at Ichigo saying he won't be controlled by Bach, when not 5 minutes earlier he cut down the Soul King because of Bach. At least Ichigo isn't falling for the whole "you have no reason to oppose me" thing.
Hey, at least Chad is still standing up. Still waiting for the chapter he gets to embrace his friend the floor.
-
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
The whole shapter should have been Aizen. Ichigo part was boring and it felt like I already read the same sentences in previous chapters.
In fact, next 10 chapters should be Aizen talking with people.
-
i have the urge to keep shouting "Banzai Aizen Sama" over and over again for some reason, i think he's put a spell on me….
Finally something is actually happening. Bach is out of the Palace once again and now the showdown between them begins....
Though at some point we need a fking flashback to explain some of the history of this conflict. -

Kubo's brand of dialogue has this ability to annoy me every.single.time. EVERYONE is smuggy as hell in Kubo's world, no matter the situation.
"oh, boy, I feel like I was complimented here, was I?" "my my, what do we have in here? aren't you per chance underestimating me? how unfitting, I must say. . ." "man, oh, man, I never said that, you just assumed I said that when in reality what I meant is. . .wanna have some tea?".
Coupled with the eye close-ups and monotone expressions, the Kyoraku-Aizen dialogue was actually kind of a pain for me.
But, hey, it's Aizen, so at least hilariousness might ensue?

Well, at least Kyoraku is probably the only person (along with Mayuri and Urahara) to not really get frazzled when dealing with Aizen's smugness. Most of the time Kyoraku was his usual chill self….anyways
Team Ichigo begins to fight Bach, and I kinda liked Ichigo this chapter. He shouldn't care that his blood comes from Bach, and I would've gave him a gold star if he suddenly decked the quinzi across the face, as if to say "yeah yeah I've been through this 3 times already, can we just fight?"
Buuuut we are dealing with an all-knowing villain. It's too easy to make Ichigo slip into completely confused and frustrated mode, being played like a fiddle.

I would actually like Aizen to be like "screw it, I'm going with Bach. We will destroy everything and mindfuck Ichigo for eternity". Along with Tsukishima, Ichigo will be mind raped for the rest of his life.
Then again, when were we under the impression he hasn't been getting mind raped all the time by those three?
