…Oh, hell naw! Someone please tell me he is not planning to do what I am thinking he is planning to do...
As if it was ever possible that Kuchiki Byakuya II. wouldn't come back at some point.

:sad: And here I thought we would never have to see that guy again. D;

He won't be done away with until he finds The Heart.
If Ulquiorra comes back, I sort of hope Kubo has an excuse to explain how or why.
Oh…and as for "two arcs left"...I sort of just imagine it sort of being like the first part of the series or the "Arrancar Arc before Hueco Mundo". In other words, a set-up arc that introduces concepts that will be stretched to hell and annoy us by the end of the series. But somehow this pretty much guarantees that Bleach will reach 2011 and celebrate it's 10th anniversary...
Which at least means that we can have a lot more fun complaining when Kubo screws up the next few years.
It is the "hell" arc, what do you think that is in hell? just the evil hand that drags people there? dead people is in hell.

I'm taking a guess at saying the guys in hell must be stronger because they have to handle evil spirits unlike SS.
@Thousand:
The hell? For how much more can he drag out this series?>.>
Well I agree this series are nothing but a drag at this point but it makes alot of sense too.
Bleach is very popular manga on World even though recent reception has been generally negative even amongs Bleach fans but its still pretty god damn popular.
There are thousands of hopeful mangakas in Japan trying to earn by drawing succesful manga but competition is insane and only a handful of mangakas reach popularity where its actually profitable.
I think I would do same thing as Kubo is doing, even if he run out of ideas and steam and he dont want to risk of making new manga that might become flop he can just milk this current hit manga.
He does not even have to draw backrounds, he dont even have to force plot to his chapters since he can make chapters entirely of sword slashes and beams and double pages with cool poses.
It might lack rich story and charecter development but if its popular and even tolerated then whats the problem? He is not clearly Oda either who draws One Piece because he loves it and its most fun thing to him.

Because there's no way Oda might be in some way motivated by financial gain, right? While all Kubo cares about is money, apparently.
Kubo's stated several times that one of his motivations is to be able to draw whatever cool shit happens to come to mind.
If we get another "short" arc like the TBTP arc than that's allright…come to think of it isn't there suppose to be a Isshin arc soon?

Yeah, he did mention a past arc involving Isshin, so that may be next, then the next short arc, then the big finale arc.

I'm sure Kubo will said something along the line of Ulquiorra got reincarnated and currently reside in the human world. Probably losing his memory as the Espada. Gotta make the fangirls happy.
!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he (or JUMP) was stretching things up just to make sure Bleach gets its own 10th anniversary. Doesn't matter if the series deserve it or not seeing its pretty much the dragging and poor pacing that makes this series long running.
@-wahn-:

But if he goes that route, given that he's an Espada, there would be no singular "Ulquiorra" reincarnated, but all those souls which made him up.

Yeah, or Kubo could just forget about that plot element like he forgets about everything else.
Yeah the simple excuse if he make that mistake/inconsistency is "Kubo forgot". He doesn't have to literally stated Ulquiorra got reincarnated though. He could just simply draw some character that have the similar design/look like Ulq somewhere in the human world. Maybe put him in Karakura Town where at the end of this arc, everything is back to normal and one day Orihime will stumble across Ulq lookalike on her way to school but not sure if it really him. Either way, Kubo will left it open to discussion to avoid further question about plot inconsistency.
Wait, wasn't it also stated that, within the mass of combined Hollows, the dominant soul is the one that takes control anyway? Or did I remember that wrong?
On the forum topic Jump Festa 2010 (NINE!) there was a picture taken that showed Uliquiorra, Stark and Barragan each having numbers pointed towards the pictures. Now what was weird about this was no.4 pointed to Uli which isn't odd. Now it get's odd no.3 was pointed at stark while no.2 was pointed at barragan, granted barragan was already no.2 but stark being 3 had me scratching my head.

ya, otherwise, if no one soul is strong enough take control they stay as a generic Menos Grande (is how i remember it too)

What's so odd? Kubo simply forgot to re-read what he wrote this very year and this crap is the result.
Well, you can't blame him, Stark was a fuckin' joke, Barragan was way stronger than him.

Haha! So true! After our suspicions of Kubo making stuff up as he goes, were confirmed, this shouldn't surprise or shock anyone. At least he should've kept some notes on the Espada numbers.
@iSheep:

Well it's that or…Harribel's revenge. (yeah it isn't but I can dream, can't I, like "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" for her aspect of sacrifice...yeah, I'll shut up)

It tooks 4 captains to beat Starrk. 2 being Seniors and the other 2 having Vaizard power ups.
It took 1 Captain, 1 VC, and a Vaizard VC to beat Barragan.

It took Barragan himself to defeat Barragan. Nothing else can touch him.
Yeah Barragan was stronger than Stark.
So it looks like Ulquiorra will return, he will become a main character now and new shipping wars will begin.
I hope in the next arc the focus will be on the humans like Chad and Ichigo school friends.

Yeah…a captain with a Bankai that can't hit anything, a comic relief VC and a Vizard whose main power are kidou barriers...though the last allowed Barragan to kill himself so at least Hacchi did his job.
barragan is still far stronger than stark was.

I can see the IshidaxOrihime VS UlquiorraxOrihime VS IchigoxOrihime VS IchigoxRukia VS RukiaxByakuya VS RukiaxRenji VS RenjixByakuya VS ByakuyaxKenpachi VS KenpachixYachiru VS KenpachixIchigo VS IchigoxAizen VS AizenxEspada VS AizenxGin VS GinxRangiku (WHOOO! YEAH!) VS RangikuxHitsugaya VS HitsugayaxKarin pairing war starting already. :ninja:
I was too lazy to write more down.
Agreed. I also hope we see more of Ichigo's family. Especially his dad. :ninja:
I hope in the next arc the focus will be on the humans like Chad and Ichigo school friends.
I just want to know what happened with Tatsuki and Keigo.
Tousen's fly form reminded me of that treehouse of horror episode where bart accidently switched bodies with a fly.
barragan is still far stronger than stark was.
lol, i just read Barragan was stronger than Star Wars… that would not be a wise thing to say.
Barragan was just sad. Far more sad than Stark, but not quite as much "sader" as you expect.
What's so odd? Kubo simply forgot to re-read what he wrote this very year and this crap is the result.
I should of known.
Barragan should of been no.1 he looked the most menacing out of the 3. Stark's design came at a close second. I never liked harribel's sailor scout shark uniform.
Tousen's release was great.
….

....
I'm serious.

I actually liked Harribel's design. I liked her sword especially. Her power was just a little lame, basic elemental stuff.
Harribel's main design was great but her released state was 'meh' at best.
Also I thought this was a cool pic of Hollow Ichgo.
[hide][/hide]
is that fan art?
Barragan was probably suppose to be number 1 but Kubo probably switched it at the last minute to make the majority of guessers wrong, thinking it was something cool to do. :/

Yeah I believe so,still pretty good though.
maybe that guy/gal should be the artist for bleach. I kid I kid kubo may not have there story wise but art wise he's damn good.

Btw,I wanted to ask this:
Is anyone else glad Tousen got finished off?
Because I personally hated him and Hisagi so I'm hoping it concludes their fight.
And I wonder what Aizen's thoughts of Tousen's death will be,will he ignore it and Tousen realize he wasn't fighting on the side of justice?
i'm glad that tousen got his ass handed to him….AGAIN...
There was a 1st time he got beaten?
Or did someone else ask it? (I didn't feel like looking through the pages to see if they did.)

You don't remember Kenpachi being Kenpachi?
That was one of my top 5 Bleach moments.

Oh damn,I forgot,I have a bad memory.
Btw is there an episode/chapter this week?

Depends…but if there is, be prepared for a long wait for the next one. (it's the holidays, thus double issues...and if we get them for two consequetive weeks, then that means we have to wait a maximum three weeks for the next chatper)

Yeah I wasn't sure because of the holidays,but I hear theres a double-issue in January so I was thinking this week there wouldn't be a chapter/episode,but theres still to hoping.
