Just the filler modsouls, and we all hate them because
A: They are annoying. We only need one stuffed animal come to life
B: They are useless. They just strech fights out and they never win or really even do shit
C: The only moderatly cool one (Nova) gets to do the least of all of them, and the bitch (rinrin) does EVERYTHING!
Bleach Discussion

They don't bother me. The anime is much better then the manga, so I could careless. I love everything about the Bleach anime.
In the OP, they animated the color spread from a bit back (with the 6 heroes standing against Aizen and co) which was cool.
-
Couple things I found from the opening:
-Interesting setup for the Espada in the order they appear, going from known (Grimmjow/Ulquiorra) to unknown (Stark/Black Guy) to known (Zaerapollo/Noitora) to unknown (Halibel/Old Guy..who is huge surprisingly) to known (Yammi/Arroniero) Somehow I wished they went with the "table shot" when they were introduced but you can't be perfect.
-While no Great Desert Brothers (I think Nell may be on the next cover though…her or Ichigo's Privaron opponent), it does show some spoilers for who goes to Hueco Mundo as well as Ishida and Chad's power ups
-Oh...and Orihime's decision/outfit is there too. -
Yeah, that WAS pretty cool. But, I think the opening overloads Aizen's evilness. There is like NOTHING about how Ulquiorra has done more than Aizen so far, kinda. He's in it like once, and you can barely see him. Actually, the way they zoomed out super fast with the Espada and the three former captains is like OP2, with all the captains!
-
I thought we established this. Hueco Mundo is a SS rehash, planned by Aizen. Dur.

DB sub is out.
-
Despite the spoilerish nature of the OP, I loved it. I guess seeing Noitora animated, even for just a short while, can make all the difference. Also, have you guys heard about Ulqiorra's "supposed" Espada ranking. A spoiler on the internet places him at number 4.
Think it is fake?
-
Yes. End of discussion.
-
It's not fake. Ulquiorra Schiffer is numero quatro, and he impales Ichigo's chest with his hand. His mask didn't even last after the Getsuga. Ichigo has no fighting sense.
-
Maybe if he would train and learn to go more than 12 seconds.
-
Good new episode, and setting up for the upcoming events. I did love the animation for the new opening espically during the desert part.
-
They really make the desert less white, which defeats the purpose.
-
So… looks like we have Ulquiorra's number now.
With this in mind, my prediction/hope for the other espada rankings:
- Yammy
- Deady McTubehead
- Zaera-Polo Grantz
- Halibel
- Grimmjow
- Noitora
- Ulquiorra
- Stark
- Blackman
- Awesome Geezer
edit: oh, and I think Wonderwice might take the 9th spot.
-
Ya I definitely think Wonderweiss will take the next spot. Wonderweiss should be such a cool fighter, hopefully Kubo will take some elements from Kid Buu.
Primero will most likely be the black guy or the old man. Halibel should be higher ranked then Noitora, since he dislikes her (most likely making her stronger)
My opinion:
10)Yammi
9)Wonderweiss
8)Zaera Apollo
7)Stark
6) Grimmjow
5) Noitora
4) Ulquiorra
3)Halibel
2) Blackman/Oldman- Blackman/Oldman
-
Yeah, I like that ranking too.
The only reason Wonderwice might take the next spot is because Bleach is nearing its end, and it might seem like he's prolonging it too long by having the enemy group replace its numbers. Then again the end could be like 2 or 3 years from now, and they can't really call themselves "Espada" (Ten Swords) with 9 members.. and Wonderwice seems to be Espada level.
-
Here's my ranking
1.Black guy
2.Old Guy
3.Stark
4.Ulquiorra
5.Noitora
6.Grimmjow
7.Halibel
8.Zaera Apollo
9.WonderWeiss
10.Yami -
In light of recent developments,
1. Stark
2. Noitora
3. Halibel
4. Ulquiorra
5. Flava Flav
6. Grimmjow
7. Old guy
8. Zaera
9. is now anyone's game
10. Yammy -
@Cap'n:

Isn't Espada just Sword in spanish?
Anyways, after Hueco Mundo, we'll probably have a training arc, and then the Winter War, which will be the last arc most likely. Then again, we have the King of Soul Society, and the Underworld still left.
Who knows, Kubo may want to make Bleach as long as OP
-
Oh, sorry. "Ten Swords" is what the kanji used with "espada" translates to.
-
Personal predictions of Espada Ranks:
1. Stark
2. Black Guy
3. Halibel
4. Urquiolla
5. Noitora
6. Grimmjaw
7. Old Guy
8. Zaerapollo
9. The Arrancar Formerly Known as Arroniero (like the Wonderwice idea)
10. YamiPersonally think that once this is over, the Winter War prep will begin and this will be the final battle. My guess is that Aizen will probably use the Espada to ruin Soul Society and the Gotei while he (and maybe Tousen and Gin) go for the king. Then that's it: no need to go to hell and no idea what will happen with the final battle and beyond.
-
Aizen doesn't need to do anything to SS. He needs to gather 100,000 people in Karakura Town (Ichigo's town) and I dunno what after that, like if he kills them or something, but that gives him the key to SS's royalty so he can be the king.
-
I really hope the Geezer is in the top 3 or 4, since I kind of hate how awesome, arrogant, and grumpy old men tend to turn out to be "LOLz weak old man!!"

The Espada across from each other in the OP are the same Espada across from each other on the table. The front-to-back order is just reversed.
-
I noticed that as well. And I can't tell, but is Squidward's mask half-off, showing Kaien's face?
-
I'm really actually thinking the old man is Chad's grandfather. I thought he was short, but if the anime depicted him in the right size, then he's about the same size as him. I'm pretty sure Kubo works with the anime team, since he was rumored to have helped with the bounto arc.
-
Except: The old man is an Espada, which means he was a menos, which is tons of hollows, not just one, and Chad's abuleto would be just one hollow.
-
I don't think I want him to be the abuelo. We already did the "dead loved one" thing with Rukia and it was near unbearable.
-
Plus, Chad's abuleto wasn't all crochety and shit, unlike the old man who needs a name for reference. I'll just call 'em "Scar" until he gets a real name.
-
The old man is very muscular and rather tall. At least looking from the anime's point of view. I don't think we've seen a full shot of him in the manga yet.
-
I don't think so either. But Scar's kinda short, plus he's white, whereas Abuleto is tall and hispanic.
-
It has been confirmed. Ulqiorra is no. 4

http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11353&page=2You should really put that in a spoiler tag. Unless it's out and I can't find it, in which it's fair game.

@Impel:

It was hard to really see Squidward's face from the way the scroll was done. It could be all mask, it could be half-mask/half-jar. All I know is there is no implication of Kaien being him from how he was presented.
-
I saw a big clump of black when it scrolled, so I thought it was Kaien's hair.
-
@Impel:

Looked to me more like his jar than his face, so I think we need a better set up…besides, Arroniero wouldn't even need Kaien's face until Rukia goes to Hueco Mundo. He could do just fine with his floating Madball heads.
-
Or I could have just seen it wrong.
-
Why are we looking for hidden clues in like .1 seconds of blurry footage
-
Because we have no lives. Duh.
-
! Wow, I just read the latest chapter. I just laughed when Ulqiorra kicked Ichigo back into the castle after providing an escape for him. Also, is it so wrong that I'm more worried about what happened to Nell than what happens to Ichigo?
! Its pretty much pointless for Ishida to get his ass handed to him righ now, I hope he does something productive…And to hell to what happens to Renji. -
I'm still betting on Ishida getting an espada fight, most likely either with the 7th, and killing him/her, or the 5th (my guess it's Noitora) and getting his ass handed to him.
Then regroup, Ichigo "kills" Grimmjow, Chad kills Yammi, Ishida kills Noitora, etc. Ulquiorra might be going down soon, but I'm not sure how. I think Grimmjow needs to be defeated before Ulquiorra though.

! I see very little chance in that happening now though. I mean, if
you had just read the latest chapter you would see that only Ishida and
Renji are standing now, and going by the translation I read, the end chapter text read "no hope remaining" or something like that. I believe that in the next few chapters we will see the conclusion of the Renji/Zaeru match, probably in Zaeru's win, and we will see Ishida call Urahara for help, being saved in the last minute before being owned by Noitora. -
Man…Bleach's pacing becomes more and more...inexistent. I mean, basically one thing happened this chapter, in all of it's 18 pages...it's just like when Naruto whiddle away pages of characters witholding statements, and other characters asking "what is it? Come on come on!".
But then again, of course it's jsut because were used to 10 times the content in a Op chapter.
At least bleach still got the looks, and the prospect of all those powerups and coming-to-the rescuers promises some good entertainment.
-
I'm betting that next chapter, his Inner Hollow just takes over, like not even in Vaizard fashion, but in the crazy awesome fashion.
-
hmmmm I wonder which Espada is going to get 'killed' only to come back and betray Aizen by ripping something out of Orhime's stomache
oh hi there Byakuya 2.0
-
Grimmjow seems to me like he'd betray Aizen to join Team We Always Get Killed.
-
Bleach is progressing pretty well, but I'm getting tired of Ichigo constantly being outclassed. The whole "hero at a disadvantage" thing is acceptable to a point. For example:
Renji round 1: outclassed
Byakuya round 1: outclassed
Ikkaku: Actually gained control of the battle.
Renji round 2: Outclassed, until the last moment
Kenpachi: Outclassed for 80% of the fight
Byakuya round 2: still outclassed
Those three vice-captains: In control
Byakuya round 3 (pre-Bankai): outclassed
Byakuya round 3 (post-Bankai): In control, until Byakuya pulled out his Bankai
Byakuya round 3 (both Bankai): Outclassed, until Hollow-man saved the day!
Aizen: Do I really need to say it?
Ulquiorra period: see above
Grimmjaw rounds 1/2: Still outclassedFor once, it would be nice for him to actually be in control of the fight, instead of waiting for the completely "unexpected" boost of power that lets him win, but leaves him close to dead.
-
Well, that totally goes against Bleach's plot. Don't forget loss of control against Dordonii!
-
I want to see the heroes in Bleach win for once. This arc is gonna turn out really emo. But someone said it before, what we all want to see is the rescue. I really hope its the Vaizard. Right now there should be 3 factions, Soul Society (Heaven), Aizen and the Hollows (Hell) and the Vaizard's (Earth)
I truly hope Urahara doesn't rescue them, because that means they'll just keep doing what they're doing. The Vaizard (my theory is they have a leader yet to be shown, possibly the king of SS) have a great purpose.
The Vaizard… the only reason for me to keep watching this. And the remaining Espada. Team Ichigo doesn't keep me interested.
-
Well, I have a ton of reasons for still being interested in Bleach. I want to see them rescue Orihime, I want to see the rest of the Espada in action (especially some resurrecciones), I want to see exactly what those Vaizard are up to, I want to see if Tatsuki and Keigo get powers or not, I want to see what Chad and Ishida are really capable of with their new powers, and I want to see more Gotei 13 bankai. That's a decent list.
-
I've decided to just keep up with the anime but i've been spoiled by wiki and this thread however…I'm still excited for this basically because of the fights. For people with short attention spans like me, this show is great.
