Anime and Manga

Of course Ichigo's fullbring sucks because he just discovered it, and it's just the beginning for him to be using this in the future.

I have a feeling these future arcs are gonna kick a$$, man. The best maintaining Action series I've ever followed so far and as I said surpassing Naruto by far now.

I expect a comedic reunion punch from Rukia once Ichigo gets his Shinigami powers back.

What would be up next when he rediscovers his Zanpaktou, a kick a$$ Fullbring Getsuga Tenshou???!!!!

@elleztim: Aizen????,..... How the hell should I know???? ^-^ ^-^ Am I jesus or what....

Anyhow, that little joke aside....

But yeah, you're right, we've seen those Shinigami for quite some time, for many years, and a change of characters with unique abilities comes in right handy, right on time. As I've said before, most of them really saw a nuisance in Ichigo, and could never really associate with him anyway.

Especially personalities like Byakuya or the Captain Commander couldn't care less what is happening right now to Ichigo's new quest in developing his full bring and regaining his Shinigami powers.

Only Rukia and Renji can be considered close friends, maybe Ikkaku a little bit with some sort of rivalry, Rangiku occasionally loved to tease Ichigo with her sex appeal,....

Only Zaraki Kenpachi is the only one who would have a reason to miss Ichigo, because he's so anxious to rip him apart. I mean,... how excited would he feel, when Ichigo developed his newly acquired Fullbring powers??? Can you imagine the reaction on his happy face, bro?

There a re a lot more new puzzles and mysteries to be happening and to be solved as well.

And while we talk about a change of extraordinary characters other than Shinigami, and since Isshin's past has yet still to be revealed and might be connected to Ginjou Kuugo's ties, hell yeah,... you get what I mean? Ah, yes AAAAANNND.... Have you ever thought about the possibility that this fullbring arc might be a connection into Ichigo's mom's past?

The thing is there are so many excellent leftovers and loose ends integrated with such a creativity that this show is such a joy to read and watch.

I have badly underestimated Tite Kubo in the past, as a former Naruto fan. He's a genius, he'll really be rich, haha... 'cause the Naruto storyline is such a predictable brick nowadays. Dead bodies being controlled by a former student of Orochimaru fighting against the future generations of Shinobi, is nothing in comparison to Tite Kubo's mystery storylines of Bleach.

In the latest edition of the Bleach Manga:

Kinjou Kuugo tells Ichigo the entire story of his former member. Isshin is meeting up with Urahara. They have something to talk about in private. And Ichigo is going back to Kuugo's mansion again to get ready for his next Fullbring training.

Of course it will, but this'll be another tough struggle for our hero, while in the mean time Isshin and Urahara will talk about their stuff in private. Oh, man, I guess we will experience many more big surprises and twists in the plot, and unexpected outcomes, as it became usual and common by genius Tite Kubo. What if Urahara really has a secret evil motive behind past schemes.

I mean, as I watched the ANime version of the Ichigo vs Aizen fight when Ichigo unleashed the Final Getsuga Tenshou and brought Aizen Hogyoku to a stand still, and when Urahara appeared explaining the consequences and side effects to Aizen,... it really makes me think again about Urahara's mysterious past, and I mean waaay back, even BEFORE Aizen was ever recruited.

You know, Urahara IS the original creator of the Hogyoku, so he obviously knows it the best, so he knew that it was just a question of time that the Hogyoku didn't acknowledge Aizen as his master anymore and started rebelling against his spirit. All those side effects were probably sped up by Ichigo's relentless and ferocious RAW Getsuga Tenshou Maximum powers. It drained Aizen physically so tired that he couldn't keep any more control of the Hogyoku at the end. Would Urahara create another form of Hogyoku for himself now that he witnessed the limits on hand of Aizen? What if he's a villain, now that Kinjou Kuugo asked Ichigo that specific question "Whether he really knows about Urahara and his own daddy." And whatever Karin's business with Urahara is, makes us all scratching our heads as well.

The next question would be, when did Isshin become a Shinigami in any division? Was it before or directly after Aizen was recruited? How did he meet his wife?

Summing up the latest two editions of Bleach:

Next Ichigo was up against a woman with razersharp boots in order to further develop his fullbring. That woman has mentioned a very interesting point:'Ichigo's reiatsu powers were mainly inherited in his spiritual body, and now he's trying to convert those kind of underdeveloped raw powers from his full bring as a living human which is way more exhausting to handle than when he was a Shinigami...' You know, now that this fact was mentioned, it makes this series really enjoyable to read...

You see, when Ichigo fought Aizen in his final stage as the final Getsuga Tenshou he was also a real human being with that raw physical power, but wouldn't it be better to be human instead of getting the Shinigami powers back and being forced to exert this powers only as a pure Shinigami spirit body...

I tell you what, Ichigo as a living being with Final Getsuga Tenshou was way cooler than Shinigami Ichigo, and a real human being Ichigo with his newly acquiring power of a possible fullbring Getsuga Tenshou would be cooler as well!!! In fact who the f"§" needs Shinigami powers???

Ichigo is all about pure offensive power, it's always been like that, ever since he received his Shinigami powers from day one, everybody called his Zanpaktou "open", so in other words, really defensiveless, but no matter what Ichigo has pulled through without holding any bars.

The situation right now, is nothing different, but this time under other circumstances; will Ichigo really awaken an unknown more human plateau of Shinigami powers? Tite Kubo is so smart, you gotta be kidding me, if he pulls of another ace up his sleeves, a power similar to what he possessed in that final Getsuga Tenshou form.

Well Aizen is finished I guess, and I guess Kinjou Kuugo and the guy that stabbed Orihime wouldn't have had any problem defeating Aizen because we are discovering new breeds of extraordinary pure human life forms instead of the Spirit forms of Shinigami, and that is the intriguing part. Ichigo could be on the verge of becoming one, which is obviously the objective of Team Kuugo by sending him through the training trials developing his fullbring powers. Fullbring Getsuga Tenshou all the way, I'm waiting....

In the mean time, the guy who stabbed Orihime is entering Ginou Kuugo's place and they have a little chit chat; what he exactly did to Orihime the other day of what looked like a back stabbing, will probably be clarified in the upcoming chapter.

Well for Ichigo there seems to be a simple explanation: Remember as I said before, this kid has the ability to develop raw and extraordinary powers quickly, especially as he's on the verge of dying, that unconscious flair of will awakens the unexpected hidden power(s) that goes beyond his opponents' understanding. And his latest battle is no exception in that. Just to give you a few examples:

Ichigo vs Byakuya; when Ichigo was on the verge of losing the battle, his hollow form awakened and pounded the crap out of Byakuya.

The fight with Ulqiorra, Ichigo went berserk with his hollow form taking over, and he annihilated him afterwards.

Conclusion Ichigo's hidden powers always awaken at the most critical verge of his life...

On Kuugo's enemy, I can't say ****about that, but there must be an agenda connecting these two.

Ichigo's Shinigami powers back??? well, we'll see in the upcoming chapter...
