i hate to say it but this chapter peaked my curiosity just a tad bit. i've always wondered about the quincy, how they were supposedly wiped out by the shinigami and the grudge they bear against soul society. it's a shame kubo just thought of giving them the spotlight now. but if there's one thing i want kubo to really address in this arc is isshin. what is his relationship with ishida's father? come on kubo, tell us who the hell is that guy?!

^ Breasts never stay the same size in mangas
anyways, you guys are talking about Mayuri... he was apparently out of the jail when the quincy slaughter happened, because he openly admits to Ishida that he disected a lot of them. Pretty much saying he was there.

So sexy it hurts

I must admit I was extremely negative to begin with, but it might actually look like it has potential to take a turn for the better. If Kubo actually delivers what the fan wants him to, which is plenty of fan-service (Matsomoto and Neliel boobs please), tied up strings, character development, and of course some cool fights with maybe some good guys dying (it's long overdue), this might be an arc that has potential to repair some of the damage the terrible fullbringer arc caused upon this manga.
Yes that was a very long sentence...

Seems like the King thinks Ichigo is more of an issue holding up the invasion of Soul Society than Yamamoto with his bankai locked.
Current Full Power Ichigo > Shikai Yamamoto? ...or is Ichigo still no stronger than a mid-tier captain and this is just an excuse for the story to be dragged on?... How strong is Yamamoto anyway?...if maskless Ichigo was more than twice as strong as a captain pre-Dangai and he is still a fly compared to base Yamamoto...is base Yamamoto like 10 times stronger than a captain?... |

It's hard to say. He seems like he'd be somewhere between base Aizen and chrysalis-Aizen (since that was supposedly the point at which Aizen's spiritual strength could no longer be felt). But honestly, I fully expect Kubo not to pay much (if any) attention to the power scale established during deicide whatsoever. On another note, I'm looking forward to trying to figure out how strong Ichigo's bankai currently is compared to its pre & post dangai forms. |

Since iceboy could defend competently against #3 Espada with an unsealed sword I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo made it the captains all could stalemate Vandenreich top tiers with just shikai. Seems pretty obvious to me at this point Kubo is saying base captains > HM vizard bankai Ichigo. |

So if Buckbeard thinks Opie is enough to seriously slow Ichigo down, then he probably doesn't believe Ichigo is at Yamamoto's level...at least not under normal circumstance.

Kinda disappointed it's really Quincies. I don't know about the king (or "that thing" Urahara abides by) will fit in this mess.
I hope that plotline won't be dropped to make another short arc about one of Ichigo's friend (in which Ichigo's friend will be completely irrelevant as usual) |
