Well, Unohana's appearance would have been reaaally short, IF it that battle really ended that quickly. But who knows that was just a diversion and Unohana will fight with her REAL last amount of strength to make it more enjoyable for Zaraki Kenpachi in the last stretches. And what will actually happen if Zaraki truly defeated Unohana? Will he go Berserk?...

In the latest edition of Bleach:

Well it really looks like that the proud Yachiru Unohana, the one and ONLY Shinigami, that hot-headed Zaraki Kenpachi has ever paid respect and tribune and looked up to, is really going to pass away at his bare blade and hands. On the verge of losing Unohana, Zaraki Kenpachi hears a voice, a voice that indicates that he's possibly, most likely, and according to Unohana's final thoughts before passing away for good, hinting on a "PARTING GIFT", and I really mean,.... it seems to reveal THEEEE POSSIBILITY, for Zaraki Kenpachi to finally ATTAIN...... A..........

.... ............

...., but in the mean time, GUESS WHO DID...........NOT.......... PASS ......... Nima-YA Oh-ETSU's critical test, and has therefore .....LEAVE Soul Society (possibly) 4EVER......

EDIT:

on an end note: Nima-YA Oh-ETSU, refers to the "Asa-Uchi" not accepting Ichigo, "the pure Human", and that he ain't belonging to Soul Society, and that he's therefore banned from the Soul Society World.....

...... "BACK TO HIS ROOTS".... even if that means without ever returning to Soul Society......???????

So NOW WHAT, with Ichigo????

Quincy background,... yeah, well... I ain't so sure about what will happen to Ichigo, I mean, we won't know where the hell Nima-Ya Oh-ETSU has sent him to, yet, until we see it.

This dude also mentioned, he won't ever fix Tensa Zangetsu. But anyway, Zangetsu didn't even look like a typical Zanpaktou, unlike others, and indeed resembled more of a Vandenreich warrior look mixed with a hollow-Espada type.aybe Oh-ETSU San cannot fix ZANPAKTOUS that aren't pure ZANPAKTOUS. And Zangetsu is anything else than pure, but an ultimate raw powerhouse.

Or on the other hand, Oh-ETSU-sama just cannot bring himself to tell Ichigo, that indeed from the day of his birth, whatever happened in his early baby steps, he WAS THEEEE ENEMY of Soul Society, especially IF Juha Bach is truly Ichigo's biological father AND if Zangetsu was a Vandenreich warrior and brother of Juha Bach, or any kind of relative.

@Muraki3777: What if he lands in the Vandenreich, LOL,.... well I mean,.... on the other hand, that would be too obvious and too soon, to meet his possibly biological father Juha Bach.

I mean what else is there in possibilities? Hueco Mundo? ...

.... mystery after mystery it will take until Ichigo finds out about his TRUE bloodline and the secrets of Tensa Zangetsu, Isshin and his mother.

Maybe Nima-YA Oh-ETSU is mind-*******with Ichigo somehow and knows something about his past that he can't tell him face to face, at least not yet. I have the feeling Ichigo will find out something about his bloodline which will possibly affect him for the rest of his life,... possibly as the Ultimate Shinigami destroyer...

@Muraki3777: You know what, I have completely forgotten about Urahara's place, because I was so excited about Vandenreich, Juha Bach and Zaraki Kenpachi,... What you just mentioned, I mean, the thing about Ryuuken, possibly becoming his next master, it has shocked me. I mean, think about, what Ishida would think now "Ichigo, my brother???? LOL?????"

And back to my Vandenreich thoughts, I STILL have the feeling that Juha Bach is Ichigo's biological father, because he called him son.

And now that I remember back, as you mentioned about Tensa Zangetsu,.... I guess there WAS actually a reason WHY in the end Zangetsu has given Ichigo permission to fire away the FINAL GETSUGA TENSHOU. In my theory he has lost his entire Shinigami powers AND SET ZANGETSU FREE, and maybe the Shinigami powers he attained back was from his Shinigami friends, without his original ZANGETSU SPIRIT AND SOUL,.... I mean, I don't sound to crazy. The Fullbring was just a physical component of Reiatsu that he attained from Ginjou Kuugo, with the difference that it wasn't Zangetsu.... And BTW it wasn't even mentioned that it REALLY WAS ZANGETSU, that Ichigo held in his hand, while Rukia and the other revived his Shinigami powers, with the ONLY difference, that it WASN"T HIS ORIGINAL TENSA ZANGETSU POWERS, you see what I mean???

Sounds a little complicated my thinking doesn't it. But my point was there WAS a reason why Tensa Zangetsu didn't want him to fire away the Final Getsuga Tenshou, ....

and on the side note, our friend @elleztim is missing A LOT, if he ever bothers to come back,.... it makes me running out of energy ideas to entertain our Bleach conversation.

So NOW..... in the latest edition of Bleach, Nimai-YA Oh-ETSU sent Ichigo flying..... back home at Karakura town, where he met his female boss from his part time job, where he once met Ginjou Kuugo...

The unlikely couple had a chit chat quarrel, until from out of nowhere, Shinigami Captain Isshin Kurosaki appeared, IN REAL SHINIGAMI LIFE FORM, invisible for Ichigo's female boss....

... with the Substitute Shinigami badge left behind, Ichigo followed Isshin, his current father, who was now ready and waiting to tell Ichigo the origins of his mother.... who by identity was truly, and foremost.. and apparently....... from royal blood, a QUINCY, having helped Isshin Kurosaki, when he was down...

So now, neither Shinigami nor Human, next thing to clarify is who of the two, Juha Bach from the Vandenreich, or Shinigami Captain Isshin was Ichigo's "biological father"...

So there you have it, @Muraki3777, go ahead and "express your thoughts with your most innerly honest genuine emotions...."

EDIT: Ishida:"WWWWWWTTTTTTTFFFFFFFF??????!???!!!! ICHIGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LOOOLLLLLL

@Muraki3777: That was a kick-a$$ response worthwhile, our friends @elleztim and @shinangels don't know what they are missing for over 3 months already,.... too bad....

While there STILL EXISTS the possibility that Isshin indeed MAY NOT BE Ichigo's biological father, due to the fact that he TOLD Ichigo, that he TRULY ISN'T a Shinigami, by bloodline,....the NEXT questions that are going through my mind, crisp and clear are:

1. If Ichigo never was a pure Shinigami by bloodline, not even halfways, or half blood, why was Rukia able to transform him into a "Substitute Shinigami", and therefore enable him to fight such as one, with Shinigami Reiatsu????

2. Was Rukia actually forced or ordered to awaken Ichigo's power and watch over him for his entire Substitute Shinigami career?

3. How much does Byakuya know about Isshin, and have they ever met or even dueled each other before? How much does Byakuya possibly know about Ichigo's birth?

4. Why would Yama-Gi and the Soul Society Shinigami squads, accept Ichigo as a Substitute Shinigami later on, when they actually treated him like a piece of crap, the first time he met Byakuya and Renji, just because of his desire to save Rukia??

5. Why did Yama-Gi and the Shinigami Captains of Soul Society even LET Ichigo fight as Substitute Shinigami, when at the end Nimai-YA OH-ETSU sent him flying back to Karakura town, telling him he ain't a real bloodline Shinigami in the first place, but just a "FAKE Shinigami??

Referring to the last point, I assume Yama-Gi and his Captain squads wanted to use Ichigo's ridiculous power development for their own SELFISH purposes to eradicate any of their opposition, including their worst enemies the Vandenreich warriors; and let me tell you again that I assume, that Soul Society IMO may have not been such goodie-goodie guys with a clean vest, so what I'm saying here is, that Ichigo may have been a Vandenreich bloodline, and fought for the wrong side all the time by unknowingly helping his WORST ENEMIES=YAMA-GI AND THE SHINIGAMI CAPTAIN SQUAD <- IF THAT WAS the case, I think Nimai-YA Oh-ETSU, would have had a GOOD REASON to send him away from Soul Society, since Ichigo could really become a threat and possibly their worst enemy, as soon as he finds out, that he's truly a Vandenreich bloodline prince and biological son of either Juha Bach or Tensa Zangetsu.

I also assume that Nimai-YA Oh-ETSU KNEW something about Isshin, Masaki, Aizen, Yama-Gi, Urahara, Juha Bach, Tensa Zangetsu and all the related incidents and circumstances that happened between them and new born Ichigo.... Let me just assume that Tensa Zangetsu may have been one of the first Vandenreich species warriors captured by Soul Society and treated as guinea pig experiments in Zanpaktou creations...

If neither Isshin, nor Juha Bach were Ichigo's REAL biological father, I have somebody else in my mind, and that somebody could turn out to be a very well known former Shinigami Captain who has conducted Hollowfication experiments and thus making himself an Espada....

.... I'm talking about Aizen, the ONE AND ONLY AIZEN, because the thing that I noticed was, I didn't see any similarities in comparing Isshin and Ichigo's facial looks. Aizen as Ichigo's father would also make sense, because he was half Espada, as far as I am concerned, or it could be that Aizen, after revealing his true intentions in betraying Soul Society, has actually pumped up his genes with Espada power from all his experiments.

For the plot, it would be too obvious IF Isshin were Ichigo's biological father...

Or let's say if Aizen is not Ichigo's biological father, but Juha Bach, then Masaki Kurosaki must have been possessed by a Hollow in one of her battles. I mean, if Shinigami can be possessed by Hollows, whynot Quincies as well....

My biological father speculations don't stop here yet: I think that maybe EVEN Tensa Zangetsu could have been Ichigo's father, because, Tensa's hollow half looks EXACTLY like Ichigo from Head, face to stance....

So in conclusion I have 3 possible people who could be Ichigo's Biological father: Juha Bach, Aizen or even Tensa Zangetsu

@Muraki3777: Oh yes, and don't forget to tell me, what Ishida's reaction would be, IF he found out, he DOES have a HALFBROTHER in Ichigo.... (Ishida:"WWWWWTTTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFFFF ICHIGO?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")

In the latest edition of the Bleach Manga

Dear @Muraki3777: I think you're TERRIBLY RIGHT about Isshin, and you were by no means kidding... 'CAUSE HE'S EVEN WORST THAN A LOLICON PERVERT SHINIGAMI CAPTAIN. HE WAS THE ULTIMATE DIRTY IN-YOUR-FACE-DISGRACE MASTER-OF-DISASTER-LOLITA-LOLICON-ADDICTED-SEXIST-FETISHIST-BOOBS-HENTAI-PEEPING-TOM-SHINIGAMI-CAPTAIN OF DIVISION 10, who would publicly talk about Rangiku's shiny big boobs, and lift up kiddie boy Toushirou up with both hands as if he were his own toddler-Baby son, up in the air..., really upsi daisy style...

And take a guess what kind of incidence took place during this time,... Sosuke Aizen and his pndelum Arc, where Aizen hunted down Hirako Shinji to turn them into Vaizards. I think we will get to see the full version of it, including Isshin's and Masaki's part in it.

What was Isshin's and Masaki's connection with Aizen and Urahara and Hogyouku?

Well, I mean, first of all, we must confirm, whether Aizen's experiments included NOT only Hirako Shinji's group, but Quincies and Vandenreich Warriors as well?

Were Aizen's experiments conducted on Masaki Kurosaki or on newborn Ichigo as well? Or did Aizen create Tensa Zangetsu from out of his Hogyouku experiments to fue with baby Ichigo or with Masaki?

I bet Hirako Shinji was first, and the Quincy clans, including Vandenreich warriors next, especially with Ichigo's mom confirmed as a full blood quincy.

Also it isn't yet confirmed whether she was either from Ryuken's or Juha Bach's Vandenreich clan? But I bet it was Vandenreich clan, because Juha Bach called Ichigo his son born in the dark. That will determine whether Isshin, Juha Bach or even Aizen is Ichigo's biological father?

This arc will IMO be the deciding factor to determine:

1. How Juha Bach got involved with Yama-Gi, and the reason why they really fought against each other?
2. Were Yama-Gi and Soul Society really the good or were they rather evil? Did Yama-gi want to actually kill Masaki along with Ichigo, when he found out about Isshin's and Masaki's relationship?
3. Did Ichigo fight for the wrong side all along, protect the wrong allies?
4. Remember Juha Bach intended to beat some senses to Ichigo, so he actually knew something about Ichigo's true bloodline

The deciding factor will however be

• Did Nimai-Ya Oh-ETSU send him flying away from Soul Society, because he may KNOW that one day Ichigo might become Soul Society's worst enemy, once he found out the possible bitter truth about his TRUE bloodline?

I mean, even IF Yama-Gi knew Masaki Kurosaki by full and last name, imagine how hard it would have been for him to tell Ichigo; "Hey by the way, I knew your mother and I actually tried to kill you and her"...

I think that in the end, it was tough to swallow even for the proud Yama-Gi to see his possibly worst ever enemy in Ichigo helping Soul Society, for all the hidden wars they have committed against the Vandenreich and Hueco Mundo and the disgrace that Soul Society might have put onto his bloodline.

I guess, Ichigo's development has reached the far reaches of the galaxy up to the Vandenreich to Juha Bach who watched his prodigal son since birth.

I can't wait to see what really happened in the full version of Aizen's pendilum arc, where Hirako Shinji and his squad were his first Hollow guinea pigs.

I wanna see also, whether Ginjou Kuugo was involved and whether he became Isshin's first student, because he was the first ever Substitute Shinigami prior to Ichigo. Did Isshin pass on his powers to him? Or otherwise, how could Kuugo ever ask Ichigo "What do you really know about your father?"

Everything has a connection, you see, and I can't wait to see more...

Only two things to be taken away from the latest edition of Bleach:

Masaki Kurosaki was adopted by the Ishida clan, and to our technically speaking hell of surprise, she was supposed to marry Ryuken Ishida to maintain the proud Ishida Quincy clan tradition. And Ryuken's mom seems to be anything else than happy about it. When Ryuken mentioned about his dad's whereabouts, his mom answered he was at the 5th field. while they memtioned it, they could have referred to Juha Bach. Just a wild guess...

In the mean time Isshin has arrived at Karakura town ... "to take a pee...."

.... when all of a sudden he faced a hollow that looks all too familiar to all of us....

What you are practically saying, in other words, crisp and clear, would be, Ichigo went Berserk as a kid hollow, maybe in an attempt to kill Grand Fisher and ended up killing his mom as well, or what...? How would you explain that???

Well if you and I remember correctly, Tensa Zangetsu and that Hybrid Hollow fused together, while Zangetsu mentioned that they were once ONE AND THE SAME PERSON, maybe that familiar Hollow ..... was Tensa Zangetsu IN FLESH AND BLOOD, .... but we will only know for sure if we can witness either Isshin or Masaki hitting a crack in its hollow mask.

And apart from that there is that good old biological father issue... if it is neither Isshin, nor Juha Bach, it could've as well been Ryuken, because maybe the two somehow became friends, and he begged Isshin to take care of Ichigo on his behalf without telling him the truth, until the time is right.

Also, now that you mention Fullbringer, I asked that question in my last post, but could it also be that Ginjou Kuugo got involved and became Isshin student and successor as first ever Substitute Shinigami prior to Ichigo. Was Isshin the one who passed on his powers on to Ginjou Kuugo and made him the first ever Substitute Shinigami.

The reason I'm asking that is because when Kuugo and Ichigo met the first time he mentioned to him "What do you really know about your dad?"

So let's just say, if Ichigo really went berserk as a kid Hollow, that would make Tensa Zangetsu a killer as well. I mean, there was no way am underage kid would have control over his Hollow half, when murdering his mother.

The next chapters, we have yet to confirm that the all too familiar hollow is truly Tensa Zangetsu in flesh and blood.

I think maybe Juha Bach has also been in command of some Arrancar, the same way as Aizen. I mean, we witnessed how he treated Halibel as their bitch, didn't we,... so in other words, this hollow could have truly been under Juha Bach's command, maybe under some experiment...

We'll see, we'll see, it's difficult for me to say, even for me at this point, because one part of Tensa Zangetsu looked TRULY like Vandenreich, when his two halves fused together to prevent Ichigo from acquiring the Final Tensa Zangetsu.

And now that I mentioned it, I think by releasing the Final Getsuga Tenshou and acquiring his Fullbring, I think, Ichigo has thrown away his raw Asa-Uchi, or maybe he never had one to begin with??

@Muraki3777:

From the quincies ancient history, I wonder what Ryuken's connection was with Juha Bach, if there was any? Because way back at the early beginning the Shinigami have hunted down the quincies the same way they have hunted down Hollows and Arrancar. We've also yet to determine whether Masaki has ever met Juha Bach, because now I'm reconsidering my thoughts on Juha Bach really being Ichigo's biological father.

We can safely assume that Juha Bach, had an eye on Ichigo every since he became a Substitute Shinigami. So IMO Juha Bach is a key piece in determining Ichigo's past, and also possible past relationships with Ryuken's clan, Masaki or even Isshin.

We already know that Juha Bach was a bitter rival for Yama-Gi. We have to figure out whether this dispute was about Isshin's and Masaki's forbidden love, and Ichigo's birth...
