[MANGA] Bleach Chapter 344 Discussion

[Justin Kim]

Is it just me? Or is it that Ichigo's reiatsu seems to increase every time he fights, then heals. Does anyone know where he gets those blue eyes as well? After reading this manga, Ichigo's hollow form seems to have grown more vicious and aggressive. Enough to shock Ulquorria a bit.

[Thewanderer]

I don't see Ichigo winning this like he did with Grim... something has to happen.

Also, needs more Hiyori.

Apprently that's his powerup. Everytime he fights he gets stronger....

Blue eyes are when he releases his reatisu.

Besides, Ichigo is the main character, and he was absent from the manga for a quite a long time. He's been due for some attention, and so I expect he will get the focus for a little bit before Kubo goes back to other characters. ^_^

Only thing is Sloth fits Stark pretty well and no one in HM seems to fit Lust.

Well when I look at Halibel, I get very dirty thoughts.

On a more serious note, has it been established what Spoonhead was? He could be lust, lust for power and all.

[Bassoonicmayhem]

Yeah and if the chapter titles are going to continue on the path of the seven deadly sins then we've only got three left: Lust, Sloth and Wrath.

Sloth could easily be associated with Stark or maybe even Ishida.
Lust would probably go with someone who either lust for power or is just lusty lookin’
Wrath would go to the angriest person, probably Yammy or Ichigo, I’d guess.

Or KT could go off an entirely different angle though I doubt that. He tends to be a bit cliché, but that’s why we love him.

[KiNA]

Damn laaa.. saw a couple of Vaizards pictures creeping up on few Japanese image boards I frequent .. I thought they started appearing in the manga =.=

^ Lust related chapter then better have Vaizard Rika! .. Or Yoruichi

I can't even remember, when we saw it the last time, and how many stripes there were at that time.

He has 9 stripes 4 at the top, 2 on the face, 3 on the chin. Did that mask look tiger-ish to anyone? During Vizard training it looked like a reptile---this chapter a tiger. Anyone else think so? Having the mouth open did look that much cooler.


Anyhoo...

Ichigo looked really cool in this chapter! I can see why Ulquiorra released he was being outclassed

I can't wait for Ulq's release...I bet he's a bird or a spider (the bind comand makes me think of spiders, and the eyeball trick)
I bet Ishida vs Yami will be the next chapter. Kubo is a master sadist he show us the conclusion of this fight right away.


I agree with streetor "Go Away Yami...WE DON'T NEED YOU!" While you're at it, take Ishida with you!!

I really don't care about Yami, nor do I care about this fight. I like Ishida so this time I won't break Kubo's legs---but if he drags this fight out...I will kill him!

My bad--Bleach just brings that outta me...

[Kafriel]

Yammy should have kicked the bucket FIRST, unless he's actually uber strong and for some secret reason wants to hide his power and stay #10...lol even I think this is crazy!

[Shiryuu]

Hmm... nothing much this chapter. They really should split between fake karakura and this fight every chapter instead. Ichigo fights are boring.

[Cub-Sama]

In the whole lust thing I can see Shirosaki coming out because he represents Ichigo's bloodlust, whilst Zangetsu represents his cool calm rational personality.

Sloth I think is going to be about Shunsui and Stark and Wrath in my opinion will be Ulquiorra's wrath upon Ichigo.

[Kafriel]

I wonder when Barragan will get to fight...with his underlings doing all the work and #1 already fighting, going by KT's fight patterns he would stop a fight (I mean,another one...) in the middle to get him going-after all #1 can't fall before #2,right?

Ichigo also started falling when his mask broke the first time and he couldn't stop either when Grim sent him flying when they met first. It seems you lose it the moment you can't focus on it properly?

The amount of damage provided by that mine is unknown. But knowing Yammy he must be pretty bad with controlling spirit particles and concentrating them from the start.

Pretty easy to tie the seven sins to the espada if you try:

Stark: Sloth
Old Dude: Greed(he sure seems to wish he were the king)
Halibel: Lust(cuz she's hot, duh)
Ulquiolla: Pride
Noitora: Envy
Grimmjow: Wrath
Yammi: Gluttony

Syazel fits better than Halibel because he lusts for power and knowledge. Halibel is just hot so we lust after her. 2 different things

I think Grimmjow is pride and Ulquiorra is wrath. The rest are on the mark.


I don't think these sins apply to the Arrancar--or should I say, Espada. At least not all of them.

I think its just the theme of the chapter with a little mix of Kubo is tryin ta get too ill.

If they do apply to his Arrancar, the Espada especially-- because he's got more Espada than he does sins. He will have more than one representation of every sin. Or a select few of them will have more than one manifestation.

Because there's only seven sins and he has ten of them. (Arrancar/Espada) Maybe three of them,apply to Six Arrancar?

[BeCool09]

Ulquiorra releasing really makes me wonder where Kubo is going with this. Is he really going to let Ichigo defeat Ulquiorra? Or is he going to bring in some help? I hope it's the second one because as much as I like Ichigo, his fighting is getting boring. And I would love to see someone else fight.

Also, I'll be really mad if next week's chapter is Ishida vs. Yammy. I don't like it when Kubo sets us up for a big fight and then goes completely left. I guess it's to build suspense, but it's aggravating.

i can't see Kenpachi sitting this one out completely
He will intervene...


Ulqiorra will then scream "GAR OVERLOAD!!!!"

and explode.


There, battle won.

I don't know, but IMHO Uli's release might be an armadillo, the back of his mask always reminded me of one, and lock or bind would make sense because when armadillos are attacked, they roll up into balls to protect themselves.

Pic of Armadillo for those of you who have never seen one. And no I am not joking...
