Anime and Manga

Well, the possibility for that to happen couldn't be further from the truth. Nobody has broken Tsukushima's curse yet, so of course the ones who were back stabbed would follow his orders and attack Ichigo and the currently assembled Shinigami squad. Remember that Chado and Orihime protected Tsukushima when Ichigo attacked with his fullbring powers.

And you know, fighting your closest friends when they are cursed, is a very hard/"heart" thing to do... no matter how much power one has gained...

.... oh yes,... and we shouldn't forget about the rest of Kuugo's Squad, you know,... the Butler, the Doll house lady and that "Nintendo DS Master boy"

Hey, guys think about this for a minute. Do you guys all remember what Kuugo told Ichigo, the first time they met at Ichigo's part time job place?

"What do you really know about your dad and Urahara..."

... and that leads to my assumption that based on the latest chapters and according to Hitsugaya Toushiro explanations, I assume that it could have been Isshin who transferred his entire Shinigami powers onto Ginjou Kuugo, because he may have regarded him as the most worthy to pass on his duties to and the other reason would have been, he traded of or let's say sacrificed a sacred life in Soul Society as a high rank captain for an ordinary Human life with his wife on earth, assuming of course the fact "before Ichigo was even born"... In other words, I guess Isshin kinda had enough of the traditional ways of Soul Society for several reasons, e.g. assuming that Ichigo's mom was an arrancar and he just fell in love with her,... and I mean that is already something forbidden in Soul society, and the possibility to transfer his powers onto another one would have been the second crime.

I guess all those people that I mentioned, Isshin, Urahara, Ginjou Kuugo, even Rukia, by transferring her Shinigami powers onto Ichigo, ...each one of them did something that went against the traditional laws of Soul society, and Ichigo became part of it as well and is therefore consumed by that mysterious auras of past disputes and consequential events...

Well, okay,... now that we have learned about Fullbring as well, and that we are about to see an epic battle between Ginjou Kuugo and Ichigo Kurosaki, one question comes to my mind? A very simple one...

... if every Shinigami put their Reiatsu into Urahara sword to awaken Ichigo's powers, is he then actually re-united with Tensa Zangetsu? Or is a completely new Zanpakto with a new reborn spirit self that we would have to yet discover?

Otherwise every time he uses another Final Getsuga Tenshou, he would practically lose his Shinigami powers again.

I mean, when Ichigo attained the Final Getsuga Tenshou for the first time, Tensa Zangetsu by that time swore to protect Ichigo by vehemently trying to prevent him from attaining the Final Getsuga Tenshou because it meant for Ichigo to lose all his Shinigami powers, as we all witnessed. So my guess is, Ichigo wouldn't go into that RAW POWER state like in that Aizen battle again with Kuugo. So let's say in order to get his Badge back, he must defeat Ginjou Kuugo, and when he defeats him and gets the Badge back,... can he just reunite the Fullbring powers with his newly acquired and stronger Shinigami Powers?

Let's hear your thoughts, guys.

@elleztim: Okay, now that you have mentioned it, I got myself a look at the Bleach movie 4. And Ichigo's Final Transformation against that devil guy, I feel kinda, that it indicated a tendency of "his future Fullbring" abilities which are yet to be awakened, or let's say have been fully awakened at the current state of the Manga chapters, after he met Kuugo. Well of course before he met Kuugo, there was no way that he could have had known about Fullbring, and that in the movie, it kinda happened by coincidence only that in the last heroic seconds, his monsterous Hollowform transformation would kinda stop, and in the last split second his Shinigami conscience would snap out of it, making him 1/4 sane... That incomplete Fullbring look alike form looked kinda cool, and when I look at my current desktop wallpaper, I recognize it again. I downloaded that desktop before I watched the movie, so there is no way I could have known that it was RAW Fullbring Ichigo on my desktop, haha...

What do you think about that,... did this special transformation in movie 4 indicate that future unconscious Fullbring powers?

elleztim, my friend,... that was undoubtedly the post of the day. You put it into such a crisp and clear picture...

and getting back at Muraki377's point, yes, I kinda see remnants of Fullbring on Ichigo's hands that probably has been revived along with his pure reiatsu Shinigami powers, that was, I assume, because, again according to Rukia Kuugo has swapped away only the surface of Ichigo's Fullbring powers because the other 95% percent was within his spiritual self. I mean, now it makes sense to me to me that even a great part of Ichigo's acquired Fullbring powers hasn't vanished yet, because IMO that great part of Fullbring has unconsciously manifested itself somehow within Ichigo's inner spiritual soul. And again I must remind of Rukia's words, Kuugo has only stolen a surface of Ichigo's powers, while the rest, as I've mentioned was slumbering deep inside Ichigo's heart and soul,... and there was no way that Kuugo could have swapped away Ichigo's entire powers, even when it was Fullbring... does it make sense to you, guys...

to close this matter in simple matter: After Kuugo "seemingly" snatched away Ichigo's power, all Ichigo needed was to get stabbed by that sword with the accumulated pure Reiatsu powers of all Shinigami in order to awaken his original Shinigami powers AND the acquired Fullbring powers that seemingly and unconsciously manifested itself within Ichigo's heart and soul,... which is obviously the reason why he has remnants of Fullbring on his body...

so in fact we truly see a more powerful revived Ichigo Kurosaki, the true Substitute Shinigami and savior of Soul Society...

back to elleztim: well, in the past, we two talked about the consequences of the after effects of the Final Getsuga Tenshou and that it could have had something to do with Ichigo not having mastered Fullbring yet, and that caused imbalances as well. So maybe I'm repeating myself again with that statement, but I think in order to remain in full control of the positive reiatsu, I mean that you talked about, it requires a lot of physical power and mental human strength, something that the Fullbring obviously can deliver. So in other words the Fullbring could be the balancer between evil and good reiatsu. Well, because I think, as of the situation now, I do not feel that Ichigo could lose control of his inner Hollow, after he has been revived with purely new and fresh Shinigami powers along with the fully awakened Fullbring, because as I said, I think the Fullbring is kind of a balance of power that the user does not become too much Hollow and not too much, guess what Final Getsuga Tenshou... because Final Getsuga Tenshou form had its imbalances as well, remember. Ichigo had to abandon his entire Reiatsu for this attack and consequently lost all his Reiatsu, including his devlish hybrid Hollow powers,... because in the battle within himself, Tensa Zangetsu and his Hollowform reunited with each other in order to prevent Ichigo from learning the Final Getsuga Tenshou, because they wanted to remain part of him...

OMG that sounds really complicated, doesn't it,... well let's say, I think if Tensa Zangetsu has been truly revived along with Ichigo's fully re established Shinigami Fullbring Powers, I think he could be kind of grateful to him, if they ever get the chance to converse again within Ichigo's spiritual soul, because I guess the Fullbring unconsciously allows Tensa Zangetsu, to be purified from evil Hollow powers right from the fresh start, with new energy...

...so how do you guys think about that???

EDIT: the latest edition of Bleach has nothing special to offer this week. We just see Tsukushima messing around with Orihime and Chado, before Urahara and Isshin knocked them unconscious, to drag them away from the battlefield. So obviously they are saved because I think Urahara knows how to reverse the effects of Tsukushima's powers, or so it seems. other than that... let the battle begin in the next issue of the Bleach Manga...

Well, I might be wrong, but I think they're gonna get their a$$es kicked because Rukia, Renji, Byakuya and all the other Shinigami must have developed their skills and Reiatsu level by now. And we will have a chance to see them in the upcoming chapters. Remember Kuugo stole only a part of Ichigo's Fullbring powers. There's no way they would be able to win like this.

I'm also anxious to find out about Kuugo's and Isshin's past and their past disputes...

Well, I think, if they already agreed upon implementing all their Reiatsu to reawaken Ichigo's powers, I think it would make perfect sense that they help him in that upcoming battle.

Now we can see whether Ginjou Kuugo is really strong or not. I think Kuugo's group is gonna get their a$$es kicked, they don't look like they pose any threat to Rukia, Byakuya and co.. If my thoughts are correct, especially Zaraki Kenpachi would think those goons of Kuugo are a joke and be bored to death to even bother with one of them. The thing is Kuugo has stolen only the surface of Ichigo's powers, and how can those goons from X-cution become strong with not even 10 percent of Ichigo's Fullring powers?

What do you think???

And the other thing is, guess what,... Ichigo and his friends haven't revealed their ultimate weapons yet which is... Bankai.

So Ichigo, as for now, is actually just fighting in his normal level Zanpaktou stage. I think his new Bankai will be a blast which he is sure about to reveal. And if he reveals his newly awakened Bankai, I guess we're gonna see Tensa Zangetsu evolving in Ichigo's inner spirit and witness how he thanks Ichigo for bringing him back to life. But I think we gotta wait for this part.

@elleztim: maybe you have overlooked part of my long post, but I think now that I mentioned my thoughts above, there' s something I would like to re evaluate with you:

You know, in the past, we two talked about the consequences of the after effects of the Final Getsuga Tenshou and that it could have had something to do with Ichigo not having mastered Fullbring yet, and that caused imbalances between in his Soul, something like that,... Sorry, when I repeat myself again with that matter, but I think in order to remain in full control of the positive reiatsu, it requires a lot of physical power and mental human strength, something that the Fullbring obviously can deliver. So in other words the Fullbring could be the balancer between evil and good reiatsu. Well, because I think, as of the situation now, I do not feel that Ichigo could lose control of his inner Hollow, after he has been revived with purely new and fresh Shinigami powers along with the fully awakened Fullbring, because as I said, I think the Fullbring is kind of a balance of power that the user does not become too much Hollow and not too much, guess what Final Getsuga Tenshou... because especially the Final Getsuga Tenshou form had its imbalances as well, remember. Ichigo had to abandon his entire Reiatsu for this attack and consequently lost all his Reiatsu, including his devlish hybrid Hollow powers,... because in the battle within himself, Tensa Zangetsu and his Hollowform reunited with each other in order to prevent Ichigo from learning the Final Getsuga Tenshou, because they wanted to remain part of him. And the thing was, both of them knew that it was too much to handle for a mere human to channel the energy of a Final Getsuga Tenshou without Reiatsu balancer like a Fullbring....

So what do you think, my friend???

Well in other words, because Tensa Zangetsu and his Hollow form could only work well with Reiatsu, he had to simply sacrifice those two in order to attain the Final Getsuga Tenshou ability, is that correct. And as I said before for a mere Human without any complete Fullbring powers, that's too much toohandle, mentally and Physically... and yes, Ichigo's human friends could see him actually as soon as he arrived the scene with Aizen in his HUman raw power form.

... so by attaining the Fullbring, Ichigo should be able to use the most powerful Getsuga Tenshous whenever he pleases, because with Fullbring , his human mental powers have minfested itself with his spiritual Soul as well, keeping it together with his human conscience.

And,... we haven't even seen him and the other Shinigami using Bankai yet. So again, how are the other members of Kuugo gonna beat them with only a small fraction of Ichigo's power, when they go all Bankai LOL!!!!!!

Welcome back, Vampluva, we've been missing you for like an eternity. That makes a total of 4 Bleach fans in this thread here. Just to keep you up to date. We're discussing Ichigo's current state of his fully renewed Shinigami Powers along with his newly acquired Fullbring powers and, for me personally I am interested in past comparisons of his former Final Getsuga Tenshou form, and his current Shinigami Fullbring form, and whether he can even go into "Ultra Bankai" mode, now that he his Fullbring has manifested itself into his Soul or Reiatsu... or in other words,... BODY and SOUL, not only SOUL like in Final Getsuga Tenshou mode...
