Disssssssss...
Perhaps Ikkaku is scared of fighting Kenpachi. If Kenpachi thinks he's an equal he'll want a battle to the death (cause he's a little f'ed up like that). As far as I can see it, Ikkaku likes fighting alongside him too much to want to be pwned by him.

The reason Kubo did not explain exactly why they were doing it is because he himself did not know... he knew they had to split up so he could force them into one-on-one fights, but didn't have a good explanation why... personally, i would have gone with a REAL attempt at a stelth mission by including actual stealth or go with a kind of "split them up via trap doors" kind of method (cliche', but it works) And thinking about the HM invasion as a stealth move has made me think of one very big continuity error... Urahara, the guy who helped send them in there, and the guy who probably knew their odds of success were low, once invented a STEALTH CLOAK that even Aizen himself could not detect... it's one of those things that would have been pretty handy on a rescue mission when the enemy heavily out matches you |

Ok so i can see Yumi not wanting to show his shikai and all though its stupid but with Ikkaku couldnt he always just turn down the position of a captain or is there some law against that?

With this point:
Pou comments that he (Ikkaku) still has hidden power.Ikkaku replies that he doesn't have time to use something like that on such a dumb enemy. Maybe the reason he's not useing his banki isn't because he wants to hide it but because it would take too long for it to warm up enuff for it to be useful?

I can't believe this... So an unreleased fraccion defeats Ikkaku w/ shikai, but Ikkaku sais the opponent is too worthless to use bankai on? Holy crap if he's gonna talk smack then he should at least WIN! Don't use a cool line after you've LOST and FAILED and LET EVERY ONE DOWN you friggin' DISGRACE! "Oh, I don't want to be pressured into becoming a captain..." Nobody would want to make you a captain anyway, dumbass!
Why would Genryusai want to make Ikkaku a captain? So he can get his whole squad killed? Does Yama-ji have a shinigami surplus or something? Yama-ji may have made a grave error where Aizen is concerned, but like G.W.B Jr sais: "Fool me once... uh... shame on... uh... shame on you! ... *tumbleweed*... You fool me once you can't get fooled again!" And Komamura... wth? First he gets anihilated by a single failed Kidou, granted it was Aizen performing it, and now he gets his ass kicked by an unreleased fraccion? I KNOW! Remember ep14? When the first Menos Grande appeared and Rukia said it takes a captain to defeat a menos? She must have seen Komamura fighting a gillian and having alot of trouble, therefore she assumed gillians are very strong. But actually, it was Komamura's WEAK ASS that ruined her perspective! Seriously... how does this stuff ever make it to the printing stage? I can understand Kubo might be depressed, on drugs, drawing while drunk, having a midlife crisis, dumped by his girl etc etc... but what about his editor? How can this stuff get passed both of them? |

I really dont think Koma Koma can redeem himself here . Even if he goes shikai bankai and wtfpwns Po, it still stands . Taichos are an institution in themselves Koma Koma has let it down . In three hundred odd chapter of Bleach I havnt seen a Taicho getting pawned by a fraccion, take even Arrancar arc I dont remember Toshiro manhandled by an arrancar .
Yes it was a cheap shot but Koma be a furry and take it as opposed to flying 100 meters .....

I don't know why everyone is bashing on Komamura he has the world strongest defence...the RSPCA, but seriously Koma is supposed to be one of the stronger Captains, Hitsu has an excuse he is a kid but Koma he has no excuse other than 'I am an animal! My mental capabilities isnt that large' the moment the punch came he should of caught it and slammed his knee into the abdomen of Pou. Ichigo would do it and I am sure lots of other captains would do something similar to what I said, even Hitsu would of stopped that punch.

Renji wishes to surpass Byakuya but has not expressed the same intrest of remaining loyal and always serving under him... The reason Renji has not become a captain even though he has Bankai is due to the fact that Bankai is only ONE of the pre-reqs for becoming a captian... they also need a nomination and support from a few other captains, and there are a number of reasons why Renji would not get supported by the other captains... First off, when it comes down to it, Renji is really rather weak, he may have Bankai but his strength is still pretty low when compared to the captains... another thing would be his rash insubordination towards the end of the SS arc; sure some captains also decided to help Ichigo and rukia, but they did so for good reasons(except kenpachi)... Renji's reason for helping was purely personal, but the captains took part because they realized that something was wrong and that their was something bigger behind Rukia's execution... Renji's actions were personal and rash, the other captains actions were more well thought out and still kept in with what was best for SS... frnakly, Renji's actions could be seen as being rather damning for him Quote:
Besides, unless the gotei 13 like completely falls apart in this battle, they are gonna need to start refilling those captains positions... which means we are gonna need to see some Shimigami step up and level up to captain. |

another good reason for him not becoming a Captain: He's the shortest-serving Vice, remember he got promoted the same day Bleach started.
imo the current open spots and the ones that may appear after the war should be rather filled by the Vizards, Urahara or Yoruichi.. with so many capable individuals Kubo could even kill of the Captain Commander

regarding the current fight, I hope Komamura stays back and lets Iba handle it. While Iba doesn't get much publicity, him, Yachiru and Matsumoto are the only VCs we've never seen defeated. Not yet sure if that's just coincidence, or if they really are the cream of the crop. |

also Bayakuya doesn't look down at him, remember what he said? "That time... your fang reached me" or somethin like that.
