Bleach Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Enemies in the dark
Read Chapter

A great chapter. It starts of with Tsukishima on his last breath. Wondering why Byakuya would kill the man he owed so much with such a cold expression.Byakuya seems to have more loyalty toward Ichigo now, for saving SS. Tsukushima seems to regret his failure in his goal.

The pocket dimension are falling away, Yukio has agreed to Toshiro’s deal A nice bit of comic relief as the guys review their respective battles, Zaraki ranting against his subordinate. I love Ikkaku’s face when he tell his captain the gave his enemy a lecture.

Toshiro joins the group with a still iced-up Yukio. Toshiro, is being smart by keeping him bound till he knows everyone is safe. Byakuya went to find Rukia. She is unconious but seems ok. Byakuya states he found absolutely no trace of riruka. Not even a trace of her presence. Yukio gaze goes serious, he probably has an idea of what she might have done. I think she embedded herself inside Rukia this time, maybe even having control over her body. Rukia’s conscious cast aside.

After a short conversation Yukio again complains of wanting to be released, however Toshiro brings his attention to the only active pocket dimension. It’s one he cannot undo unless Ginjou orders him too, which he can’t do, since Ginjou is inside and he is outside. How convenient for the ‘main course’ right?

Anyway, it seemed Ginjou has shared his strength with everybody, and visa versa.

We fall into an intense battle. First thing I wondered after finishing the chapter. What happened to Ishida? First he was there. if he got whacked again, at least show us a body. But whatever, Ginjou seems to be fighting in a similar style to Ichigo, using the stolen techniques as well. They seem pretty matched in this fight. It’s a good thing that Ichigo didn’t have to start a square one. Both takes their fair share of hits.

For some reason, Ginjou brings up Tsukishima’s demise. He throws Ichigo in a mix of shock and relief as he tells him that when a fullbringer dies. all traces of their ability will disappear. All will go back to normal. The point Ginjou makes is simple. He was fighting for their sake. Ichigo does not have a quick answer for him.

As for next chapter it seems the history books will open for us. Genjou’s past, possible Ishinn’s involvement with Ginjou? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

Bleach Chapters 471 & 472

A double chapter review once more, gonna keep it short today, tired as hell…

Chapter 471: Pray for Predators 2
Read Chapter

I didnt write a summary for this chapter since there isn’t alot that happens, but alot is being told.

As we sort off expected this. So this chapter is basically the past stories of the crew of Tsukushima and Ginjou and Jackpot Knuckle guy… Riruka was kind of a bitch, she lost a bit of that bitchyness, thanks to Inoue. Giriko was intriqued by his power, ending up killing his wife. He seemed in shock but ended feeling like an emissary of the Gods if anything. Yukio kept distant all his life, I don’t feel it’s their parents that even caused most of it. Jackie lost her family, due to her father’s activities.

So far Jackie seems to be the ‘nicest’ person, I think her path got messed up as she met Ginjou. So her confession to Renji was not BS. Riruka see’s herself as the ‘scrap’ of humanity. Fueled by Ginjou’s speech. Xcution seems like they are after power… how original. for some this was obvious. Ginjou, Giriko, Tsukushima and Yukio are all bit oversealous and powerhungry. The woman of Xcution, not so much. Maybe the guys got small… well you know where I’m going. I’, not quite sure where riruka actually stand. I dont think she does either.

The chapter has a bit of action as Rukia finds a way to connect with her blade launching her pillar of ice. Riruka counters by releasing her and then, well, something happens… but what?

Chapter 472: Azoredge equiem
Read Chapter

The chapter continues on from the last one, still don’t know what’s going on, of what ability she actually used. I did notice that every object appears to be gone. it’s just Rukia and her Zanpaktou. I got no theory on what’s going on. So shoot. The chapter switches to awesome. The fight is going on hard and fast. Tsukushima breaks Byakuya’s blade. The conversation they have is a review of their time training together. So Tsukushima quickly nestled himself in Baykuya’s memory.

Byakuya can still call upon his bankai. The first hint of the end of this fight as Byakuya starting to improvise. Doing things he never done before, Tsukushima’s ability not giving him the intimate

knowledge. Tsukushima doesn’t waste time and goes straight back in. Trapping Byakuya’s movements, getting attacked by own blades. His entire arm being cut-off. This turns out to be a wake-up moment. Byakuya actually relating a little to the person he resents the most(I think).

Kenpachi.
Byakuya held on to his blade in his clenched fist, the blood masking them. He punched straight through the human’s chest, fatally injuring him. Byakuya actually enjoyed the battle for just the sake of battle. Kenpachi would love this if he ever found this out.

Bleach Chapter 470 – Pray for Predators

A little bit of Kon nostalgia(not that I miss him, a little bit of old school Ishida-Ichigo banter. But nothing special this chapter.

Chapter 470: Pray for Predators
Read Chapter

Rukia has been moved into a stuffed animal, which actually looks alot like the stuff she draws herself whenever she was explaining something to Ichigo.

These two don’t seem to be that intent on fighting, but Riruka got a little pissed off last time around and here we are… Even in this position, Rukia keep thinking, trying to figure what happened, and if there is something she can do. Which she end up doing. She noticed her reiatsu is still very much intact and tries a kidou, since she can’t use her blade. It’s actually catching Riruka off-guard, not expecting something like this. Of Course she never fought Shinigami before, I do reckon she has been told about them by Ginjou, because let us not forget. He was in a similar spot as Ichigo was. A big question is… How long ago exactly. I really wonder how old he actually is.

Anyway… Unfortunately it doesn’t end up as she hoped, the Kido actually exploding inside her body. I love Riruka’s expression.

In the second half of the chapter we switch to the fight against Ginjou. To be honest. I like Tsukushima alot more as the bad guy then Ginjou. By the look on his face he seems to have simpler motives than Tsukushima. I still don’t understand this rage against he has against Ichigo. no doubt it could involve Ishinn.

Ginjou’s fullbring absorbs the power and abilities of it’s target, in this case he sucked Ichigo dry so now he can use Getsuga Tenshou. I wonder if those abilities extend to Ichigo’s Bankai abilities or
everything he was capable of when he was carrying his fullbring. A second question is, does it maintain the abbilites of older victims, or are those already ‘dried’ out by simply using it till the reserves run out.

After a bit of their fight we switch to an interesting part of this chapter. Tsukushima seems to be the origin of the Excution group. Ginjou saving them from Soul Society perhaps? We Know what happened between Soul Society and the Quincy. this small group could have experienced something similar.

Hopefully Riruka will share us a bit more info into the past of the Fullbring users.

p.s. I know I said I was going to write these quick, but they we’re late. I was home late on Friday when I wanted to write it, and I work on Saturday’s.. so forgive me.

Bleach Chapter 469 – Rag Lag Rumble

Chapter 469: Rag Lag Rumble
Read Chapter

Good day ladies and gentlemen.

The first half of this chapter was awesome. A coloured page, and then another one!! great overview, we can now see a little bit of what Ikkaku has on his left shoulder. I thought it to be a tattoo at first, but that doesnt seem to be the case. ANYWAY, onto more important stuff.

Tsukushima managed to land a hit on Byakuya, putting the captain under the ‘spell’ (for lack of a better word) of Tsukushima’s full bring. Rather than focus on the conversation, it’s the true strength of ‘Book of the end’.

At first I believed that ‘Book of the End’ was a one way move. Tsukushima implanting himself within their memories, creating situations which we’ve already seen. I figured at first that Tsukushima was manipulating Chad an Inoue further with intel gathered by him or probably Ginjou. That is not the case.

Book of the End works both ways as becomes totally clear in the conversation between the two fighters. This is great stuff we learn about Byakuya’s senkai and bankai. Except it’s explained in detail by none other Tsukushima. He seems to know allot seeing how has made himself one of the ‘select clique of trusted individuals’

I wonder though if Tsukushima is not starting to be over confident. Even if he has knowledge about Byakuya he should still realize Byakuya is still a force to be reckoned with, even if they end up with a ‘plain’ sword fight. Their are countless ways Byakuya could use Kido, his speed and sword attack against him. I also don’t see Byakuya falling victim to the psych aspect as well. But Tsukushima could very well use the death of his wife against him, manipulating his memories to his favor.

But I believe Tsukushima is lacking in attack a strength and speed, the obtained knowledge through his ability will keep him alive for quite a while longer. It’s going to be interesting to see how this fight will continue. I’d like your guys opinions on his abilities.

The chapter switches to Rukia attacked by stuffed animals, lucky for her they have different opinions of what they find ‘cute’. Rukia quickly  returns to a formal posture whilst talking to Riruka. This fight seemed pretty passive until Rukia hit a button on Riruka when she called her a ‘normal’ human. I’m not sure she mentioned that intentionally but Rukia wasn’t expecting what is going to happen next.

Riruka used the ability she used when helping Ichigo in his training, in this case she puts Rukia into a stuffed animal, shrinking her down immensely whilst doing so. I wonder if Rukia is able to to move around in this new ‘body’. As Riruka mentions, she probably does not.

It seems Rukia is in a ‘stuffy’ situation…

YEAAHHHHHHHHH
