Here’s Bob’s rundown on 389: Winged Eagles 2
Oh, and I guess I need to add music… hmmm…something electronic this week?
- I think it’s smart for all the shinigami to gang up on Aizen, but why are they going about it one or two at a time?
- If Ichigo is the only one who hasn’t see Aizen’s shikai, then shouldn’t he be leading the charge while everyone else back him up?
- I get the feeling Aizen is just going to effortlessly beat them all and we’ll be back to 1-on-1 against Ichigo again.
- What’s Yamamamomoto doing during all this?
- Who’s keeping an eye on Gin?
- Looks like Hiyori might be saved. Unohana ain’t no Orihime but I’m sure she’ll figure something out about reattaching her lower torso.
- I don’t know much about Aizen’s abilities, but I’ve never seen that shield he used on page 6 before. Looked like Urahara’s blood mist shield.
- Page 16, boy is it ever easy to provoke Hatsugaya. Didn’t he see what happened to Hiyori a few chapters ago? I don’t think this’ll end well for him.
- I’m glad someone like Kyouraku is in the Gotei 13. Screw shinigami honor and etiquette, just stab the guy in the back while he’s not looking!
The Captains begin planning on how they’re going to rescue Yamamoto, knowing that they’re going to run into high class zanpakuto. Meanwhile Kazeshini comes back to the hideout and faints from exhaustion. Kenpachi, Ukitake, and Kyoraku head into the cave while Yoruichi and Ichigo head in another way. In the cave, Ukitake and Kyoraku meet their materialized zanpakuto. Zaraki and Yachiru get lost in the caves, and come across Gonryomaru and Tenken. In the meantime, Ichigo and Yoruichi encounter Haineko and Tobiume, and both are defeated by Yoruichi. Ichigo heads on, and is lead into Kazeshini by Minazuki. Kazeshini is easily defeated, breaking, as Ichigo moves on to find the Captain-Commander.
Ichigo continues fighting Senbonzakura while Kenpachi fights Byakuya, but Ashisogi Jizo appears and using its bankai, spraying poison gas over the battlefield, enabling Senbonzakura and Byakuya to escape. Yachiru chases Ashisogi Jizo and he gets captured by Zaraki. Mayuri blows up Ashisogi Jizo, causing it to return sealed form and break. Soifon has difficulty hitting the small Suzumebachi, but manages to defeat her, and Yoruichi congratulates her. Unohana arrives to treat the victims of Ashisogi Jizo’s poisoning, including Momo, Isane, Rangiku and Iba. Yoruichi meets with Ichigo and the captains, and reveals that she knows Yamamoto’s location. Yamamoto is then shown as a prisoner of the zanpakuto, with Sogyo no Kotowari, Katen Kyokotsu, and Minazuki encasing him in a barrier.
Mayuri experiments on Gegetsuburi, and discovers that the zanpakutō only return to their owners’ control if they are defeated by their owners. Momo and Rangiku send their zanpakutōs back to the 4th division barracks, but an unknown assailant attacks the cart carrying them. Ichigo meets with Momo and Rangiku, and then reaches Muramasa, who is having difficult using his abilities in his current body. Ichigo fights Senbonzakura, and gains the upper hand before Byakuya arrives. Byakuya reveals that he has joined Muramasa as part of following his internal desire to protect his pride, and then disappears with Muramasa and Senbonzakura.
