I love the new super sexy Ichigo, but butterfly Aizen kinda gets me down (even though it's symbolic of his transformation into a super powerful being and whatnot).

I could have sworn it was symbolizing that he'd evolved into a pokémon. He's been using Taunt since he was introduced.

Looks like Ichigo has reached super saiyan level 10 Aizen is probably shaking in his boots right about now.

You made me lol. It's sad how true it is though

So I'm getting the feeling Bleach is coming to an end or Aizen will end up running away/getting revived later on.

But still... I can't see this fight finishing without that super hollow form Ichigo will probably pull out on his own. >.>

I really hope that Bleach does not end with the defeat of Aizen. I would like to see the realm of the royal family, the royal guard, and the kind of nasties that can come out of hell. We haven't seen anything about that realm since chapter 12 (where the most wicked humans that become hollows go). I would also like to get back to adventures with the main characters interacting. By main characters I mean Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, Chad, and Uryuu. This non-stop battle has lasted so long (since they departed to save Orihime in chapter 240) that a lot of the humor, character building, and plot development that made me enjoy the Soul Society arc has been diminished. There is something to be said for the anicipation that down time creates for the next battle.

That being said, I am still very excited to see what happens next.

Apparently, Ichigo was able to defeat the combination of his hollow self and Zangetsu. Presumably, he also mastered the ultimate getsuga while training.

My thought on why there is no reatsu coming from him is that it is all in Zangetsu. He has become one with his fighting spirit and rather than trying to control it and use it, he is allowing himself to be controled instead. He is acting as an extention of Zangetsu, and has given Zangetsu all of his reatsu to be used for the ultimate getsuga, an attack that will release it all in a single burst. However, if this is the case, Aizen may gain the upper hand if he is able to regenerate. Anyway, I hope to see a flashback to the training soon.

I don''t think Bleach will end if Aizen is defeated Kubo said in the last interview that there was going to be another arc after this one so looks like Bleach will last another year.

[Miss Soupy]

Since Kubo said he planned to write more about the royal guard, I doubt bleach is almost over.

Looking at how powerful Ichigo has become, I wonder if there will be some kind of sacrifice that has to be paid for it. Isshin was very cryptic about learning FGT, so I'm thinking something will happen to Ichigo after he powers down lol XD Maybe Isshin knows so much about FGT because that was what caused him to lose his shinigami powers for awhile...?

Ah, I was so caught up in the deaths of the espada and the hollow king that I completely forgot about the hell realm.
Also, interesting theory. Perhaps the longer chain symbolizes how much him and Zangetsu are one?

[Paradox Jast]

Perhaps a sacrifice... such as no longer being able to become 'human' again? The loss of his humanity, or something along those lines. Seems like a big price to pay. Though he has aged, so it's hard to say if he lost it, or if that's only a result of some kind of merger.

[Dreamer]

Kubo is writing the 4th movie which is about Hell realm so i doubt we'll see anymore of it in the manga.

[KungFuTruffle]

Based on how little we know about some of the elements of the Bleach universe, it's most likely going to go for at least a little while longer. Kubo still hasn't revealed all of the Bankai, after all. Heck, he hasn't revealed all of the major characters Shikai yet! No way he's going to let those go unseen.

I want to see Yamamoto's bankai, a country buster?

Hoho Ichigo you badass

Was kind of thinking about that too... I can't imagine why they didn't pull out their Bankai's either considering that Aizen became a "god".
But I suppose those are all for another day.

The Captains all losing all of their combat ability during the fight with Aizen was some serious Railroading. They had to lose, and lose quickly, so Ichigo could play the hero.

[Davidos]

I hope Aizen will die soon getting kinda tired of him and his smuckness. Not to mention the whole butterfly outfit xD!

I realize that, which is the only problem I suppose that I have with most manga. It just makes the events seem like it's not as bad as it could be.

Just another thought I had... will Ichigo even be able to use a regular Getsuga? I mean that if he has absolutely no reiatsu now, then he doesn't have any power to channel into an attack like that, right?

Bleach 287s out. Its an episode done to honor the Mangas 10th year.

Basically an AU tale combining the Disney Aladin with the Rescue Rukia arc. Its hillarious and a little self deprecating.

worth a watch for all the in jokes and has a cute omake at the end.

Funny episode, Yoruichi winking at Ichigo.

[Gravenimage]

Bleach really can't end we still haven't seen the bankai of Yamamoto, Shinzui and Ukitake either and whether Kenpachi will ever release his shikai or zampkbatou for the matter.
