[Predictions] Bleach Manga 506 Discussion and 507 Predictions

[Calbackshoot3r]

My Predictions:

Bach will be killed immediately, and we find out that this was all a ploy to release Aizen from prison and that there's a a mastermind pulling the strings within The Royal Guard.

Obviously we wont find all of this out in one chapter, but eventually.

I say that the old mans bankai is legendary-tier and might change some power-scaling for the HST. He kills Bach instantly.

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.

he is most likely alive but how do we know for sure?

Soul Society Arc -» awesome arc.
Arrancar Arc -» painfull and exciting at times...it was full of highs and lows, and the power levels were crazy, especially Ichigo's.
Fullbring Arc -» a steady breath of fresh air. Just missed the explanations about Ginjo's life but i guess the fans didn't like this arc and it had to end abruptly.
Quincy Arc -» Possibly even better than Soul Society arc, the final arc that this manga deserved.

Notes:
- Ichigo has merged zangetsu and his inner hollow, his power now comes from both and from the remains of his fullbring all at once. So no, he's not going Vasto Lord and break out of the cage. He will be free thanks to Urahara after he heals and analyzes the cage.
- I really think that Juha is Yamamoto's student or son cause let's be honest...a man like Yamamoto wouldn't miss a death 1000 years ago, he just let Juha escape because he was too attached to him and thought he might change with time.
- The relation of everything with the Zero squad and the King? Too soon to tell, it could be one thousand things...hell, they can even be beyond Juha's return like someone here told. We just don't know nearly enough...

Fullbring Arc -» a steady breath of fresh air. Just missed the explanations about Ginjo's life but i guess the fans didn't like this arc and it had to end abruptly.

The arc was very unshounen-like. It made incredible plot holes in the story and was simply, incredibly boring. Because of one arc that wasn't very long it threw a lot of power-scaling out of whack and simply wasn't needed.

I think a small 4-5 chapter semi-arc with Uraharra getting Ichigo's powers back would of sufficed and been a lot more popular.

 

[Renegade]

I have a theory about that...Kubo's weak point is the power level regulation. If he showed a Vizard, other than Ichigo, who was using bankai and had to also use his mask...i don't think he knows how powerfull he should make them, even in shikai form, hence the lack of Rose battle.

Well said, I agree with you.

I see you are one of the Fullbring arc "haters" although, i do understand you. I liked it because it was more steady than the arrancar arc, it showed us another side of Ichigo and the reverse-situation of him being protected by his friends, the mental games of Tsukishima were also good for his character development and let's face it, Kugo was a cool character.

The down notes were the lack of Kugo's story. And yes, Ichigo's final fullbring form was kinda weird. But for me, i needed one simple arc after the arrancar arc. He just could have made Inoue and Chad more usefull but oh well. All the Shinigami became stronger. And ichigo received a little power boost (i am still conviced his power level is somewhere near or above the level that he faced Aizen because that resulted from him being one with his powers and that didn't change now that he has them back, only his Final Getsuga Mode is above his current one). Ichigo is still holding back, even with Kirge cause he simply is too powerfull for almost anyone since he entered in unison with Zangetsu and inner hollow.

Plot Predictions...

1- Juha Bach is Yamamoto's former prodigy student like Chojiro and possibly even his son, who knows. The question is, can he be a Shinigami since he also has Quincy powers? Let's see.

2 - Yamamoto will be screwed with some ace card of Juha. He will be killed or locked away powerless to fight.

3- The One who killed Kirge and pointed the sword at Urahara is...Hyori, the blonde Vizard girl. She loves to taunt Urahara.

4- Due to the amount of dead Shinigami, and maybe more Captains than only Byauyka, Ichigo is offered a position as Captain in the Gotei 13 until this crisis is over.

5- Ichigo will be more ruthless than ever because he will feel guilty for not being able to get to Soul Society and save everyone. He will be on badass mode from now on.

I think I should disagree with #3. The last time we saw Hyori she was hanging out with Lisa on their way back from a spa. If Urahara was with Ichigo and Co the entire time I don't see how Hyori and the others could have gotten word of what was happening in Hueco Mundo.


On a side note:
Do we know where Yoruichi is at the moment? Has she even shown her face yet in this arc? Why hasn't anyone guessed that it's her? Because the attack looked like a sword slash? Hmm... Keep your eyes open people. Maybe Urahara was so shocked because he'd never seen it before. Just a random thought

One of my first guesses was Yoruichi along with Isshin, Grimmjow and espada number 0. But then i remembered...didn't Hyori appeared in the beginning of the arc and wasn't there something strange in that scene? That made me think it was her. But hell, anyone of them will be good. Probably ain't an arrancar because they will have to spare and heal Urahara so he can free Ichigo from the cage. And Inoue is down so we really need someone who can heal.

Also, the reason Ichigo can't break from the cage might be that it is gainning strength from Ichigo's attacks so it has to be attacked from the outside.

I think the Vizard's appearance was more of a "this is what they're up to now" sort of thing. Besides, Hyori is not that strong to completely obliterate someone that Ichigo and Urahara had trouble with. Granted, she's a Vizard and has 100+ years of experience, but Kubo won't show her in this type of light. Especially when he's skipped every Vizard's fight so far.

Hum, maybe you are right but it seems to me a logical solution to the crisis Urahara and CO are facing. If the other Vizard who can heal is there along with Hyori, he could heal Urahara and the others.

In terms of strength Hyori is strong, especially with a mask, and she might have trained between the arcs and even attained bankai. Besides, Kirge was weakened and was preparing to attack, and since his weak spot was in the moment he would attack, he could have been caught off guard by her and destroyed.

I repeat...i approve your logic but to me this also makes some sense.

This makes sense too, but to each his own. I guess only time will tell who it really is

True =)

Whoever is right doesn't matter, we can just be glad that Bleach is back on track =)

Yama-jii is such a monster. This battle is bound to be good.
