By the way, i have the feeling that we will be back in Hueco Mundo with Ichigo and the others in the next chapter.
I hope so. As awesome as this fight is and will be I still want to know who has the sword pointed at Urahara and how Ichigo will get out of the bind he's in.
OT: Pretty amazing. Love it whenever Yamamoto starts spamming guys casually and totally comes off as bad***. Nice.
The perfect way to keep the momentum going and possibly even raising it is really to halt this battle, go back to Hueco Mundo and show the secret one who destroyed Kirge. And if they rescue Ichigo even better.
I Think Kirge's Killer was an arrancar (Grimmjow or the one who was number 0, can't remember his name but we never saw him die i think), Yoruichi showing off her zanpaktou or even Isshin. In last case, a new character.
I also think they will free Ichigo but the twist will be...he arrives at Soul Society and sees Yamamoto being killed. I really doubt Juha would face the Great commander without a super ace hidden in his sleeve.
I'm one of the few people (usually portrayed as dumb) who think that The Soul King & Royal Guard are majorly involved in this. I have no idea how, but they've been mentioned casually a few times in the manga and it's always mysterious and interesting.
Anyway, think the one with sword is probably Nel in her first release state or someone from The Royal Guard.
Agree with switching the story with you too.
Did he kill Kenpachi? I hope not but really couldn't tell

yea thats what im saying its so rushed i feel like yama is gonna die.....cause plot no jutsu therefor ichigo has to always be the hero so lame ik yama is amazing and if it werent for the plot he would defeat juhayama-jii is about to drop the fury of 10000 flaming angels down on juha bach , the sheer immensity of his zanpaktou is absurd and this bankai will forever scar the earth of seireitei with the fires that burn the world to ashes :T_T:
i do think this seems a bit rushed though, boss to boss confrontation this soon? seems too early honestly, i think kubo should have focused more on the captain fights first then bring in old man yama later, but this will be one of the greatest fights in bleach hands down
Did anyone notice that the way Juha said "It reminds me of when you were younger," makes it sound like he's older than old man yama.
One of the Quincy Yama kills is the guy who was fighting Rose.
Why does Kubo do this sometimes? First it was Kensei's fight against Wonderweiss, when Kensei went Bankai & we never saw him fight Wonderweiss with his Bankai. Now he skipped Rose's fight aswell. At least we know Rose is alive though.
