[MANGA] Bleach Chapter 417 Discussion

^^or a frog for that matter.

I could see, Aizen one hit pwn Ichigo :P

[Hav0kkx]

What if Ichigo defeats Aizen, but that means he's on a whole nother level, meaning he's alienated from everyone else. So Ichigo goes rogue, and the story focuses on chad, orihime and ishida? And how they're gunna search for him or some naruto-like plot?


I have a feeling once everything settles down, Chad's going to be butthurt again and whine about how they can't "watch each others backs" anymore. :/

[Freya]

Where is the ZERO SQUAD? I swear that's like one thing I'm interested in.

[secretzfan]

This chapter sounds so awesome

[sayde]

Scanlation's out. I have to say, I'm impressed with Ichigo. I didn't realize he facepalm'd Aizen not once, but twice. And with the second one, he literally took matters into his own hand when it came down to bringing the fight to another location. What a great way to end the chapter. Although at this rate, I don't see the arc ending before summers over.

anyone else notice Ichigo's swords hilt?

I think he only facepalmed Ai-chan once, the second facepalm was Ai-chan on himself. My favorite part of the chapter was Ichigo not knowing who Afro-san was. And also Isshin's bushy beard, since that proves my hypothesis.

I'm more interested in the gauntlet thing.

no toilet paper either. or food or water.

i suppose since Ichigo was in deep meditation, his bodily functions might've slowed down, but poor Isshin...

Yeah it's not just the chain that got longer, it's...grown. Plus Ichigo seems to have some sort of glove on too.

But yeah really curious about what happened for him to have even Gin compliment the look in his eyes. Plus the lack of reiatsu is interesting.
But Isshin with a goatie...weird.

Not that I actually believe Ichigo will actually win, 'in an instant' he should last a few chapters before more hax comes into play.

Bleach makes Dragon Ball Z look like child's play when it comes up to power leveling

No, Ichigo promised Zangetsu that he would grow a garden in his mind, so he had plenty of food.

Either that, or hair growth is based on reiatsu output - Ichigo stopped outputting reiatsu so his hair stopped growing - which is why the only people with beards are Stark (the primera), Shunsui (who trashed Stark) and Yamamoto (who is the strongest shinigami for several millenia), and their beard levels seem to be proportional to their power levels

*edit* Yammy has a beard-shaped mask fragment, and he's the Cero Espada. Coincidence? I think not

His hair is just about right for 3 months but I dont see how grew in such a short amount of time. Maybe it took longer than 3 months would explain isshins shaggy look.

[DragoZERO]

That was...pretty good. Except for the end, again! Why say pointless things at the end of the chapter every time? Even the little kids who read this know it won't be in an instant.

Well, at least I am looking forward to what Ichigo will pull out of his hat next week.

[Hav0kkx]

Isshin's beard turned me on

[King Lycan]

I advise bleach go monthly and make d gray man go weekly :P

[thermopyle]

Whole panels of pretty pictures of Ichigo staring. God I hate Bleach but reading it really has become a routine now. The mullet is gone, the tail is in. *bangs head on the wall - goes back to reading* ha..ha..

it is funny to see Aizen pawned into the ground for once. Then it isn't even once, but twice. Gosh Ichigo has gotten stronger. From a little wimp to powerful hero this is getting good.
And yea I am little upset they skipped Tensa Zangetsu's training, but we might see flashbacks later on.

Gin please survive into Orihime gets there. I am glad to see your still thinking.

I was sure I noticed this last chapter

In other news, Hellllllo Ichigo. I've never really been an Ichigo fan that much, but in this chapter he just looks ... pretty. And vaguely heroic. And a little bit awesome.
(But Grimmjow still takes the cake for hawtness. I say 'takes' he'd probably steal it from some helpless child then glare at it until it ran away)

I've also just noticed that Gin is about to snuff it with his face practically in Matsumoto's chest. Yet he spends his precious time looking at Ichigo's eyes ?!
Still, not a bad way to go

It's funny. At the time I had posted that, the site I was reading the scanlation off of must've made a mistake. Because I know for a fact they put up the 16th page last. Hence why I assumed that's how the chapter ended. It appears to have been fixed now though. So I stand corrected.

*agrees*
As much as I hate seeing harm done to Aizen, even I have to admit, Ichigo looks badass again. I haven't felt this way about our orange haired protagonist since he KO'd several of the VC's at Soukyoku Hill with his bare hands.
