I would've loved to see a Shinji figure. Although Dordonii would be rocking.
My favorite lieutenants are Matsumoto, Yachiru, Isane, Iba, and Sasakibe. Although I liked most of the others with the exception of Shuhei and Kaien.

I'll try and get a spoiler when I get home from school tomorrow. Most likely pictures…
My favorite lieutenants for their Squads are
1
11

Squad 11 is the shit. 'Nuff said. Seriously, every character in that squad is great (Though "Maki-Maki" is basically a joke character, and doesn't count). Bonus points to Kubo for making an interesting, well-made, and diverse cast of characters out of the group that's the usually cliche fight-obssesed type. The fact that Kubo made Ikkaku and Yumichika reccuring main characters earns him a cookie, and having Kenpachi beat the shit out of two captains, and making a Bankai look like shit, without needing any special techniques, earns him yet another cookie.
Squad 11 > the rest of the cast of Bleach. Except a few…
Personally, Kurotsuchi is the best captain. I love sadistic nut jobs that don't think what they're doing is wrong. Plus, his hat and unnecessarily long fingernail are awesome.
! 1. Kenpachi-11
2. Yamamoto-1
3. Shunsui-8
4. Unohana-4
5. Kurotsuchi-12
6. Ukitake-13
7. Komamura-7
8. Soifon-2
9. Tosen-9
10. Gin-3
11. Aizen-5
12. Byakuya-6
13. Hitsugaya-10
! Modified slightly for recent re-readings.
Captain rankings.
Division 11 is an incredibly well done group of characters, such a cliched idea applied to a bunch of well designed characters. Ikkaku's Bankai was extremely amazing also, both in appearance and abilities.
Gin
Kurotsuchi
Shunsui
Ukitake
Yamamoto
Kenpachi
Aizen
Tousen
Soi Fon
Byakuya
Komamura
Unohana
Hitsugaya
I don't know how people can like Unohana and Komamura so much when we know virtually nothing about them.
I don't know how people can like Unohana and Komamura so much when we know virtually nothing about them.
We know Unohana has the potential to mess up some goddamn bitches, even though she's in the 4th squad (the Hufflepuff of Soul Society), plus she has an incredibly sadistic side.
Komamura is a furry.
I really don't get Yamamoto's VC just like I don't get Shuhei. He's a guy who's hardly done anything and has a paper-thin mustache…AKA, he creeps me out. Shuhei's support is mostly from being yet another bishonen but Yamamoto's...heck, even Soifon's fatty VC has done more than him!
As for my VC ranks:
-Yachiru
-Matsumoto
-Nemu
-Isane
-Iba
-Renji
-Kaien (mostly because he became part of Squidward)
-Nanao
-Momo
-Izuru
-Omaeda
-Shuhei
-Yamamoto's VC
I just think he has an awesome design. And I like his release.
More than what SHUHEI has going for him
And we know as much (even more) about Komamura than we do about guys like Shunsui. I like him because I have a soft spot for big guys, I like his zanpakuto and his fighting style, and I also kind of like that devotion to justice angle he has.
Unohana I think is one of the prettiest shinigami, and she has a lot of potential to be an awesome character.
Somehow Yamamoto's VC's release makes me think his Bankai would be similar to Silver Chariot…must be the fencing foil. But he's still not one of my favorite designs. (BTW: while I hate Shuhei, I put him barely above Yamamoto's VC from seeing him at least trying to do stuff during the academy flashback with Renji/Momo/Kira)
And anyone who hands around Old Man Yamamoto is bound to be awesome.
@Cap'n:

I still think he's his manservant. Yamamoto has proven himself tenfold but the VC…well, unlike the other two VCs who were owned by Ichigo prior to the Byakuya fight (Omaeda: comic relief big guy, Isane: Ichigo didn't want to fight a woman), he has no excuse for being crap.
Well… at that point Ichigo could've easily stomped any VC, so I really try not to take that account as a true measure of their strength.
Ichigo is obviously haxxed being a main shonen character (having a shinigami father, having friends with hax training methods, having both Shinigami and Hollow in him) and we've seen that a lot of VCs have some connection to the captain they are tied to (Momo/Kira = tools for their captains, Yachiru = Kenny's little friend, Nemu = daugther/tool for daddy Mayuri) But to be a VC of one of the most powerful men in Soul Society and be punked by Ichigo like that (let alone not even show anything close to Bankai like Renji or Ikakku) is just sad. He could have at least shown a bit of a fight but that would have taken away from Ichigo's uberness.
It'd be cool if Yamamoto trained his lieutenant, then maybe we could see any moves the guy has. Considering how he acted to Shunsui's lieutenant, I'd doubt it. Wishful thinking on my part.
Also, like carter said, Ichigo's little fight with them can't be used to see how strong they are, considering he already could beat other captains anyway.
And that scuffle was right before the confrontation with Byakuya.
No one wanted another big fight to pop up and delay that battle any more.
If Ichigo can beat any VC at that point, what does that make Renji? He's a VC too and he also got a Bankai and power that could equate to a Captain but remains merely a VC so that doesn't mean VCs can't have further potential or Bankai. (not bringing Ikakku in because he's a special case) If a VC has more power and potential and could use against someone like Ichigo, they should use it. But instead this guy is just fodder to show how uber Ichigo has become and to just skip ahead to his fight with Byakuya.
In other news (not counting the previous conversation):
Oh Nell, you've grown up so fast…
Holy Shit…...... I did not see that coming at all. But Damn.
Uh….................. wow.
I hope she's still funny.
well, that pretty much ends the "is nell a girl" argument…
She was confirmed to be a girl a long time ago actually.
Did you really think that little tiny girl was going to be an all mighty espada?
Well I expect a Nell Figure both small and grown cough
I had a feeling there was more to her, but not that she was an ex-espada. These recent chapters kind of made it obvious she was going to step in though.
I just hope she doesn't one shot Noitora. We already have Yoruichi who hasn't shown off anything but kicking Yammi in the head (who she could obviously have beaten) and some other Soul Society theatrics. We don't need another Yoruichi. If Nell takes Ichigo to train inside her playcavern, I'll be mad.
@Cap'n:
She was confirmed to be a girl a long time ago actually.
i've still heard arguments…
I don't know why, but I did feel like that Nell was a pretty important character in the upcoming chapters. Most likely in the next chapter Noitora would say something that will make Nell very angry or something and then the end of the chapter she'll start the fight w/ him, and maybe the fight will be between 3-7 chapters (maybe even more, but most likely people won't like that, would they)?
How long was it bet. the part when Aizen leaves SS and the gang enter HM?
Holy Shit…...... I did not see that coming at all. But Damn.
That's why you still read Bleach.
Seriously, HM is pretty much an exact copy off of SS.
Umm… Who ever said that UberNell was gonna be a good guy? For all we know, she could become a new antagonist.
@SuNa:

I would love that, but it's something I can't see Kubo doing.
Nell doesn't look how I expected to her look. She looks worse…
Maybe the image is too fuzzy, but does anybody see a woman- Ulquiorra? (minus the arrancar plate and white and black)
So much for my hopes of an asskicking muppet…
I really what to fel about this.
I mean, the last thing I wanted was Yourichi 2.0. Exchanging the cat for an overated bimbo bothered me to no end.:sideways:
And of course she's a D-cup. :|
(Also whoa thunder thighs)
In Japanese sizes or American?
In Japanese sizes or American?
Now, lets not turn this into discussion about breasts.
(i.e. I dont know and this is me covering my ass.)
Nell's true form is pretty disappointing, like someone said, it's Yourichi 2.0.
I hope Nell keeps her personality, and I suppose I'll wait to see what I think about her appearance.
Hopefully not too fanservicey.
If by the off chance Nell is evil, that would slightly make up for the generic true form.
Seeing as she's naked (It looks like she is), she has thunder thighs and is a G-cup, I'm just expecting a Yoruchi 2.
I never understood all of the Yoruichi hate, she's not great, but she's certainly not terrible.
"Thunder thighs" is an awesome term by the way.
Hueco Mundo in general is Soul Society 2.0.
EDIT: @Mr.:
"Thunder thighs" is an awesome term by the way.
This is true (Although I prefer "thighs of thunder").
Yoruchi is great. A pretty awesome character…
I just find it pretty fucking retarded when a carbon copy of her gets produced.
@Mr.:

She seemed like a milder version of Kuukaku with smaller boobs( at least thats the vibe I get from her). I dont really hate her, just dont care for her all that much. And I for the life of me cannot understand why people think shes so damn hot….
wow this is unexpected and predictable/rehashed simultaneously.I was almost expecting nell to wreck all kinds of shit in her old form.
To pull the same crap again almost seems…........_retarded…...
!
I think im on to something guys_
Personal opinions:
Big Boobies: Yes
Having AP in another shonen manga: Definately
Yoruichi 2.0: No
Nell 2.0 is one delicious serving of women. She’s got thighs ready for birthing so I’m happy.
I mean who reads Bleach for the plot anymore? I read it for the lulz
I read it because i really like a lot of the characters, and a few plot points still interest me and I hope they'll see fruition. Plus the fights are cool
Yeah I'm a fag.
I'm half and half on Nell's form. On one hand I'm disappointed she doesn't stay as a kid, but on the other she doesn't look that bad and I think people are overreacting about the "Yoruichi 2!!!!!!!" thing
