Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)

[turbo164]

Or he forgot to carry the 1.

[VanBuren]

Since he really didn't appear to be that strong I subscribe to the idea that the rankings weren't accurate and just assigned by Aizen to suit his own ends.

They were just assigned by the amount of reiatsu, which Yammy could vary on. Chances are he probably got weaker as the fight went on. Furthermore, just having a lot of reiatsu isn't the same as being able to effectively use it... so yeah.

Looks like we will not be getting any Bleach for a few weeks. Seems that Mr Kubo has gotten very sick and will need a lot of time to recover.

Sorry, my bad. http://mangastream.com/read/bleach/80730430/1
Great title though.

Get well, Kubo. We can do without for a few weeks even though it will be hard.

Well that's too bad. Thankfully, we still have Tsukishima, who pretty much plotted out the SS Arc.

What a guy.

[Callos_DeTerran]

Because Captain Mom's Bankai is going to rez them.

We have no idea what Unohana's bankai is though...but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's offensive, not defensive. People are scared of her for a reason, and I doubt it's because she can bring people back from the dead.

Its the mantaray thing she used during the SS arc. We know it at least has some ability to heal but beyond that nothing.

That was confirmed as a shikai somewhere outside the manga I believe.

Maybe that's just the illusion Aizen wanted us to believe...

It's been speculated that it works like Hanataro's, but with no limit. So every injury that thing has ever swallowed, it could then vomit up, causing the enemy to experience 3,472 broken bones, 67 collapsed lungs, 9,488 gallons of blood loss, etc.

Egad. Considering her age and prominence as a healer, that would make her incredibly powerful.

Hopeful if thats the case she doesn't have to drop it all on one person. Because even by Bleach's no one dies standards with the Shinigami injury rate that would be overkill.

That would do nothing, since this is shounen. People never die from flesh wounds, so even an infinite number of flesh wounds wouldn't kill someone.

Unless she has a resurrection power.

She might, but either way I don't think over 9000 gallons of blood loss can be considered a flesh wound. Not unless Kubo is secretly a pseudonym for a British comedy troupe, which wouldn't surprise me that much.

I'd love if she brought all the dead back as super zombies. Sort of a, if she can't save everyone, the more people you've killed the worse it gets for you thing.

In the Databooks Unohana has 100 Offense, 100 Kido/Reiatsu, and 90 Strength. Just saying.

So, she grabs her whale by the tail, and starts to smack you around with it when she gets pissed?

[HandofShadows]

Nope. She scares you so much that you pick up the whale and hit yourself rather than have her do it.

She IS listed as a Nice One you don't want to get mad under anime.

[darksolitaire]

She has not done anything yet though, so it's all speculation.

[Maugan Ra]

Ah, there we go. New chapter, away!

Kenpachi is, as always, amusingly psychotic. His casual little explanation of how he pretty much went through three Sternritter at once is now one of my favorite scenes in the manga. And hey, Kubo's getting better at the whole 'not showing every meaningless side fight' thing.

Also, Yammamoto to the rescue. And I can't help but be amused by the fact that the solitary Sternritter is not only confident to be going one on one against the Soutaicho, he's actually pleased about it. My Quincy friend, I don't care what your name is, you do not know the meaning of overkill. Not yet.

Kenpachi is as always, is Kenpachi. But I have noticed a change this time around. He is going for the kill right off. In the past he has always done the blood knight thing and went for a big huge fight. Not this time. Has it sunk into even his head that this is a VERY bad situation? (Still has the eyepatch on though)

seeing how he butchered 3 of them, im getting the impression he just doesn't find them interesting enough.
this whole situation really is hugely in his favor. he has no bankai to take, he doesnt use kido, and he has the raw power to bludgeon through the armor skin thing.
if it cant be fun, may as well be fast, right?

Maybe. I don't know. Funny how the one calls Kenpachi a monster after what he has been seen doing.
And what is up with Ichigo? Building to a new form? The last thing you want to do is make Ichigo angry and he is REALLY angry right now. Something tells me that there is going to be something that comes out of left field in this story.

You guys are not understanding Kenpachi's MO (modus operandi...a person's way of doing things or their style.)

Spoiler

Show

Kenpachi only savor's the moment when he is fighting the strongest one of the group. He is purposefully being quick and fast with these quincy for the three quincy he fought so far were not the leader. That is why he asked if Buckbeard was the leader. Kenpachi always tries to attack the strongest and he goes after the strongest.

1) During the soul society arc when Ichigo and friend invaded soul society, Ichigo and friends were called the term Ryoka. Kenpachi purposefully tries to hunt down the strongest Ryoka (Ichigo) the one who survived an encounter with Gin (a captain) and defeated his third seat and thus this Ryoka must be strong.
2) He defeats Tesra (Nnotira's, the 5th espada, fracción) with a single blow
3) In the Fullbring arch Kenpachi tries to switch with Byakuya so he can fight Tsukishima who Kenpachi thinks is the strongest Fullbring. When he can't fight Tsukishima he finishes Giriko in a single blow saying it boring to fight small fry.

Thus if you are not the strongest or the leader you are small fry and are boring to Kenpachi. If you are the leader and you are strong and force Kenpachi to actually get serious to Kenpachi you are GOD for you are the bringer of his joy.

As soon as Kenpachi is confident he will win he will lose interest in you for actually killing is not the fun part but instead the fight and the challenge is where he gains his enjoyment.
