[MANGA] Bleach Chapter 420 Discussion

[Haak]

Probably the very next arc. I have hard believing Kubo will actually end it now.

3. Just as Aizen is about to kill Ichigo, everybody shows back up in a Big Damn Heroes moment and Aizen is Killed Off For Real, probably by somebody releasing a bankai we haven't yet seen. It's made abundantly clear that "we couldn't have done it without Ichigo blah blah".
4. Plot coupons from this arc are cashed in, no shinigami or vaizards died, the good/neutral Espada lived and come to an agreement with SS (all hail Queen Nel of HM and her good knight Sir Stark). Gin disappears with Matsumoto. Rukia escorts the humans (and quincy) back to K-Town, since there's NO WAY to bring back his powers. DEFINITELY NO WAY.
5. Ichigo emos some more about being "normal", so Rukia mercifully ends our his suffering by wiping his memories of being a shinigami.
6. Back at school we see that the shinigami have been busy wiping memories, as no one remembers any of the weird stuff, although Ichigo, Orihime, and Chad all have the typical "almost remember moments" that always seem to happen with memory wipes.
7. Ishida of course remembers, and is playing along with Rukia, as a scene with them and Isshin at a deserted Urahara Shop establishes, before Rukia's tearful farewell (tearful for her, at least, as Ishida is as cold as ever).
8. Time passes (insert boring but short "Slice of Life" arc). *cough*time skip*cough*
9. Ichigo gets a visitor one night as an injured Mayuri shows up in his bedroom and lets him wake up just long enough to be freaked out by the bloody face-painted pervert before being knocked out again.
10. Ichigo wakes up out in the desert (actually in the training room under Urahara Shop) to find that he, Orihime, and Chad have all been kidnapped, with the latter two's memories recovered (except Orihime remembered all along--what a tweest!). A few other second-tier shinigami are there as well (including at least one current Lt. in captain's whites), all of whom are looking somewhat worse for wear.
11. SS needs Ichigo again but he has no idea who anyone other than Orhime and Chad are. So just as he's telling them all to kindly f**k off, he gets a jolt of recognition when Mayuri or someone else mentions Rukia offhand, and eventually decides to help them (he is a shounen hero, powered or not).
12. None of Mayuri's grotesque and humorous methods of recovering Ichigo's memory seem to work (including at least one involving Nemu degradation fanservice), so Orihime suggests using her power to bring back his memories. Mayuri just about soils himself at the opportunity to "study" her ability up close and readily agrees.
13. She does her thing, and as everyone and their grandmother sees coming a mile and a half off, not only does Ichigo get his memory back, but his mojo as well (yeah, baby...).
14. A still-somewhat-underpowered Ichigo reforms Tessaiga Zangetsu (2nd form) and asks what happened to everybody. Unsurprisingly, it is revealed that there is a problem in the King's Realm, as a dying Squad 0 member who escaped managed to tell them. Shortly after, the gate to King's Realm opened from the other side, and bad guys started pouring out. Hougyoku-enhanced bad guys.
15. Tite Kubo is assassinated. ...And there was much rejoicing...


LOLfangirling... Calm down, secretz, even you can't deny that Kubo's given Ishida literally nothing to do this arc that has anything intrinsic to do with his character. He's been straight man to Renji and (along with Renji) to Nel's fracciones, a generic not-as-badass-as-Ichigo ally (along with Chad and Renji), and helped out alongside everyone else against Yammy and the Exequias. The only thing setting him apart has been his quincy abilities, and even then, Kubo gave him a sword to blunt even that difference.

If you want to get mad, get mad at Kubo for nerfing the character, not us for pointing it out.

.... 0_0... wow. gonna rep u for this
(

Ichigo gets his mojo back *yeah baby!*

I died when i read that bit)
This it seriously reminding me of the end of "The Legend of Spyro. A New Beginning" main charater is gonna lose there power and you have to buy the new game/watch or buy the manga of the new arc where there gonna let the main charater regain there original power slowly. There seems to be alot of b**chin about the new chpt. What im thinkin about is the amount of fan art thats about to be unleashed online. really gonna enjoy this chpt when its posted this is gonna be fun

Which will replace SS as the best arc of the series

[Queen darkness]

I can't wait for the next chapter!.

We are still a looooong way away from Bleach ending.

We still have the Spirit King/Royal Guard Arc and the Hell Arc to come.

[christinemarie]

So Hichigo is the Item General of Disgaea. key to the final technique.

Ichigo wants to defeat Aizen at the cost of his abilities.

Spoiler for possible outcome:

But Aizen will laugh to tell him that Ichigo is .... (didn't mention it completely) before uttering a word killed by Urahara Kisuke (the real villain in the story).

Makes me remember the last chapter in Hunter X Hunter before it goes into hiatus again this year,

Spoiler for HunterXHunter:

where Gon grows up to an older version of him and pawned the Ant General at the cost of his all abilities and one arm.

Nups..no Hell Arc, thats gonna be a movie. Royal Guard arc, now thats one im looking forward to

Anyone else thinking Ichigo might actually die from loosing his powers? Urahara cut his chain a long time ago.

Hey we don't officially it is going to be about remember it may be called the Isshin arc, but anyway this was a awesome chapter. Finally another piece of Tite's trolls ant its finest

[Hellychan]

Well I did enjoy Aizen's multiple WTF's faces!

Hopefully, we'll now get out of that awful (except a few moments including this last chapter) arc which was Hueco Mundo... Reset!

[SeanQ]

well fgt sure sucks... big ink spill =0

[Lendial]

Very little development but fantastic artwork as always.

[Arabesque]

I enjoyed how the fight with Hichigo(?) somewhat mirrored some of Ichigo's other fights (the way he threw the sword was somewhat reminiscent of doing the same with Grimmjow;The whole stabbing also came from his old fight with Hichigo) and the way he looked was kinda cool. aside from that though, the only reason why I had a good impression of this chapter was:

This. So much.

This arc dragged on for far too long. It just killed the series for myself with the way it just dragged on on unimpressive fights and lack of any actual development for anyone who mattered.

This is getting so ridiculous that I can't even understand half of it from the spoilers alone.

This is a super-interesting possibility. What if Isshin also fought someone as powerful as Aizen, but lost in the end? Maybe that person is the next villain, as well as a member of the Royal Guard or even the King himself.

Its a stretch, but it would be a decent way to continue the story.

We got some development in this chapter, but we didn't get as much because of other chapters that actually had a big deal of development

How was it a ink spill even if in your opinion it was a suckish you can't say it was a ink spill

[DragoZERO]

The ex machina is bigger than his explosion.

Um you do realize that Tensa and Hichigo fused a while back. They can't have Hichigo fighting Ichigo again after all

Where the heck you get that from that was Tensa talking first and Tensa wasn't in tears shouting the same name 30 times like Orihime

I don't know about hollow Ichigo, but Tensa having a glimmer of heart is kinda surprising I guess. Sorry that part wasn't super shocking to me. It kinda made me feel weird, but that's it
