Bleach X: Deicide (this time for real)

[ben-zayb]

All what Mayuri did in this chapter is either something he's done before (rearranging his body and nerves, extending his own arm) or a logical extrapolation of what he's done before (using a Quincy technique... he's the guy who dissected a good deal of them and catalogued their techniques).

Also, human-headed serpentine bomb

I wonder if this is an explanation for the bombs when he first showed up?

[LaZodiac]

Huh. Well I for one really liked this chapter.

I actually kinda liked it too I just would also like to reiterate that Mayuri killed a **** ton of innocent people for literally Mengella esque reasons and I don't think he should be a hero.

Also, Pernida be all like "I...not understand what you say" and it's like wow, I'm agreeing with the giant hand. Mayuri speak some bloody sense.

[LordRahl6]

For me this was one weird chapter, but that mostly comes from the Pernida side of the battle that revolves from IT BEING A HAND. Otherwise it makes sense weird sense but sense nonetheless.

Do you mean the 12th-division-dude-bomb that had a flashback before exploding? If that's apparently a regular thing now, it makes me think why it's not an issue in SS, and why the non-Kurotsuchi members didn't transfer division.

I'm guessing blackmail, mind-control, body-control, or threats of exploding their now-bomb-implanted body.
EDIT: I didn't see the chapter title the first time. WTH Kubo

Now we only need Mayuri to lose and Ukitake turns up to save them by starting the greatest thumb war ever.

Real question is, SK doesn't have legs. Where are they?

Spoiler

Looking at this seriously, we've had an arm on the quincies' side and one on the soul reapers'. Logically, the legs could be allied with the other two races, the Hollows and the humans. Let's see, are there any human or hollow characters really good at running, jumping or kicking? ... Who wants to bet on Kon being a god leg?

How do you figure? It can talk, has a humanoid shape and doesn't even have a mask. The only thing it's missing is a hollow hole, and there's no guarantee that there isn't one beneath it's clothing. His hollow self looks a hell of a lot more like an Espada then it does a hollow, or even a Vasto Lorde. https://www.google.com/search?q=Ichi...utf-8&oe=utf-8 In case you've forgotten what his hollow self looks like, it's that, and that looks a lot more like an Espada then a hollow.

As far as the Aizen bit goes, I honestly don't remember that happening, so I'll have to take your word for it(don't have the energy to find it/care about it). I just don't like the phrase "Ichigo eat Aizen", it is seriously disturbing inside my brain ^^

The white Zangetsu isn't a hollow, he's a mental representation of Ichigo's hollow(/soul reaper) side, an anthromorphic personification of Ichigo's powers and bloodlust rather than an independent soul-eating monster. When Ichigo actually becomes a hollow, he has a mask, hollow hole and doesn't speak in favour of trying to tear apart everything around him.

That is so ****ing stupid it has to be true I actually am kind of upset that you've come up with this idea because it's almost certainly going to be true and it'll be like you willed it into existence by bringing it up.

But even then Kubo is a surprising guy, so I'm guessing Chad is actually both legs and his arms are the legs.

[Rater202]

White's personality is "Ichigo if her was a sentient hollow" and came about when a fragment of hollow soul that infected masaki and passed down to Ichigo merged with Ichigo's shinigami powers.

The lak of a mask can be written up as it being half shinigami.

Eh, I meant it as, that Soul King's legs are unaccounted for, I bet they will arrive at some point. And it will be stupid. E.g. Haswhalt was Yhach's left leg all along. And he goes on a stomping spree.

Can we officially call Mayuri's modification a plotkai? Heard it used so many times before, but never had been so as appropriate as in this chapter.

What was the point of his bankai having its nerves on the surface to feel excruciating pain? Or was that just an unfortunate side effect of not being able to process the data yet?

Regardless, that was messed up.

Yes, but it would be perfectly in character for him to torture and mutilate his spirit sword thing to the point where he can crap like this so I think we can give it a pass

It's so that it can shed each layer. The excruciating pain bit is just a natural drawback from having exposed nerves everywhere.

Love the image at the end of chapter where the plotkai is eating Pernida. Can't wait to see what happens next as there should be a few more interesting changes in battle position in this fight.

New Chapter! This one can be divided into two parts!

Part 1: VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT

Part 2:

It appears Perdy is growing and evolving, explaining his Compulsory power. He has to fight you, learning to BE you, and once he ends his fight against you he likely goes back to normal and has to relearn his next opponent. They're Compulsory Lessons he has to take. He's also saying that...the Soul King was ALWAYS a Quincy.

We then get one of the weirdest, most...Mayuri-themed confession of love ever, as Nemu sacrifices an arm to save Mayuri, and Mayuri tells her...in his own Mayuri way, that he loves her and couldn't bare the thought of her dying and him having to raise another child knowing he fails in that way. "You're only allowed to die when I order it!" with the implication that he would never order her to die.

So Mayuri's going to die, and we're seeing that he does have good sides to him, but dear lord if anyone needed to die it's him he's such a monster. But he loves his kid...even if he does creepy ****ing **** with them.

I think it's related to his C power, as mentioned earlier. I think Pernidas learns to "be" his opponent as he fights, to better outsmart them.

Uuuunlikely since none of those words mean Seven, but it's possible? We'll find out when the official translation comes out. Or at least not exactly, "Nana-" is part of 7, but it's Nanatsume, not Nanagou. But it's possible, Sino-Japanese writing combines the base of the word, in this case Nana, to the word describing it so...maybe?

[danzibr]

I wonder what kanji they used. To sort of mince things, the native reading for 7 is nana and the foreign reading for number is gou (at least... if Kubo used the kanji I'm thinking of). I could see that.

I see this is a double post for me, but I'm afraid it would be lost in the new chapter stuff if I delay.

One thing I wonder... did Perdina get possessed by SK's arm like Ukitake or is he/she/it straight up just the arm?

so, anything that touches the nerves of the arm, the arm will learn from, and emulate?
