Bleach Manga thread (SPOILERS)

 Spoiler

He hasn't said what his goal is. I'm just as confused as you are.
In this chapter: I feel bad for Ichigo

His goal is most probably simply to kill Ichigo. I think it's because if someone with a fullbring kills a shinigami they get stronger. It would explain why Ginjo didn't know about Tsukushima's second ability because he only acquired it after he killed the first Sub Shinigami. Sort of like how Hollows get stronger when they kill shinigami/people with strong reiatsu.

Anyways. Blah blah blah What do I fight for. Blah blah blah You're gonna die. Urahara, Isshin and Uryu are probably gonna fix everything. Tsukushima obviously couldn't get to Uryu considering he wasn't just stabbed like everybody else but had his arm nearly severed.

Well it's nice to see that Ichigo becomes strong for 5 seconds and then becomes weak for the rest of the battle due to his friends.. Especially when Chad is like LolBetrayal on Ichigo. Actually what exactly does Ichigo's Fullbring do? I may have missed something but it just seems like "I have a sword".

I have a sword and armour. The armour is actually a lot more important right now since he's using his actual body, rather than just being a spirit. I think that was half the point of Ginjo blinding him, to make that point. He simply shrugged off being cut around his eyes when it first happened way back in soul society from ikkaku. But yeah, its not the most spectacular of fullbrings

We also don't know if he can still do that throwing thing from beforehand.

I still don't understand why Ichigo can't go counter psychological attack on them (though he's probably not smart enough) If Tsukushima just inserts himself in the pasts of the people he stabs, can't Ichigo just poke holes in the new pasts that their in. Like they still had to fight Tsukushima on those building tops. And if Tsukushima helped with saving Rukia and defeating Aizen, why didn't they know about full bring before hand or of the Xcution gang.

If he changed the memories of those people, what makes you think he didn't make them think those things did happen?

inb4 Ichigo gets 10x more badass and powerful to attempt to save his friends/the world....again...

If he changed the memories of those people, what makes you think he didn't make them think those things did happen?

But that's not what his power does. He can't change memory but inserts himself into the memory, make himself a significant part of that memory.

I suppose armor helps and I guess the throwing thing he did with zangetsu's "flange" might work with his sword and his abilities come from the past two stages even though the second stage just looked like a shadow of him in shinigami form.

Ichigo needs to get something more fun or somehow get to talk to Hollow Ichigo (considering his powers of fullbring derived from hollow so H-Ichigo should still be thar but not in shinigami clothes.

Still waiting on the return on Super Saiyajin Hollow Ichigo.

It's bound to happen at this rate.

That'd make sense. Also, I have a theory of my own.

Considering Tsukishima didn't place himself in Uryuu's memories (That we know of) and just attacked him, my theory is he put Uryuu out of action because he needed someone to replace with himself in order to plant himself in people's memories, like an anchor or whatnot.

If he hasn't planted himself in Uryuu's memories, it'd make sense, although knowing how Kubo writes these arcs with swiss cheese in mind, I could just be overthinking it.

Actually your theory makes sense o_o Wasn't Uryuu in each of the memories mentioned by the brainwashed people?

Minus of course ichigo's family, which would present a hole in your theory.

-Ishida comes in and is all like "I'll hold off Chad and Inoue, you get him"
-Ichigo fights, gets cut and is like "It's all over!" but then it turns out it's a real cut because Tsukishima is actually trying to kill him
-When he's near death he gets his shinigami powers back, and whups major ass, etc. etc.

of course, each of these events would be the last page of chapter cliffhanger event.

And true to Kubo style, it'd be all in the same panel.

What if the Xcution group and Tsukishima all work for Urahara an Isshin? What if their goal is to pepare Ichigo, driving him to a state which he needs to achieve to get his shinigami powers back?

- All we know about the Xcution members is that they want to get rid of their abilities, and the only way to do so is by transfering them to a human with shinigami powers. This doesn't make sense to me, why would they want to get rid of their abilities if they already have full control over them?
- Tsukishima has never revealed his intentions, they only said he killed the previous shinigami they tried to use for their purpose and now is going after Ichigo.
- Isshin and Urahara being shown through the whole arc doing almost nothing, like to let us know where they are. Maybe they are shown in these chapters to let us know they play a roll in this arc, one we don't know yet. There is also that misterious Shinigami that was shown talking to Urahara and Isshin.

I would find it epic if Ichigo and Tsukishima have a fight, then to the end of it, Tsukishima is beating Ichigo and every seems lost. When Tsukishima is about to stab ichigo, this one says something and Tsukishima stops, then he says "he is ready" and everyone, chad, orihime, the xcution gang, Ishin Urahara and the misterious shinigami come out and tell Ichigo it was all a set up to get his body and soul prepared, in order to get his powers back.

The whole fullbring gang could be introduced as Shinigami in dummy bodies like the one Rukia used in the first arc.

lololololololol According to the spoiler, Bleach is bottom 7 in rankings. Imminent cancellation anyone? Maybe it's already been cancelled and he's been told to wrap it up =S

This would literally ruin the entire series. "Oh hey, remember that thing Ginjo just did a couple of chapters ago to make Ichigo complete his fullbring? Well that was actually the SAME exact thing that is going on in the arc. I hope you all enjoyed wasting your time." Btw, it's pretty obvious that Isshin and Urahara are up to something because 1) Urahara is always up to something (look at Aizen) and 2) they already said that their doings would "take away Ichigo's future."

So yea. Only time will tell what bullshit has been spawned from Tite Kubo's pencil.

 Bleach 457

That new guy's fullbring is just easy-mode for Kubo:

"Hmm, how do I get X to happen?
Oh I know, let's introduce a new fullbring which can make anything happen."

How cheap.

A challenger approaches!

Oh, nevermind, it's just Uryuu.

Hoorah uryuu has joined the fray. He's actually the only character I find very interesting in this series.

Really? I always hope he'll just get killed off. He's like what tien was to goku. Sure, he has that hurricane arrow pomegranate, but who gives a pomegranate when it does pomegranate all

I've never seen dragonball, but to me he's like the shikamaru from naruto of bleach. He actually uses strategy and intellect in his battles, which is way more interesting to watch in my opinion.

The whole "I need to fight my friends :<" is very cliched and tiring for me. Waiting for this arc to be over.
