Bleach Chapter 551: [MangaStream] [Unix]

 

Spoiler

Jugram Haschwalth discovers that he cannot advance any further due to some sort of barrier. Nanao explains that it is a result of her Kidō and how she was able to create it using the Reiatsu the Sternritter left lying around the Seireitei. Nanao explains that it was because of her talent in Kidō that she was made a lieutenant, though her captain says that there were other reasons to make her one. Haschwalth asks if she was the only one who knows this, and when Nanao confirms this, Haschwalth states how unfortunate that is. An explosion near Kyōraku's and Nanao's location startles them, and Haschwalth states that if she had taught her new Kidō to the other captains, they would have died fighting rather than be executed.

 

Elsewhere, Hitsugaya tries to flee from Bazz-B. He decides to release an ice mist, which Bazz-B easily dispels. Bazz-B taunts Hitsugaya for not using the time Bazz-B was engulfed in the mist to hide, but Hitsugaya reveals that he placed a trap. Bazz-B begins to get engulfed in large amounts of ice. Hitsugaya, however, watches on in total shock as Bazz-B almost immediately frees himself from the trap. Bazz-B again taunts Hitsugaya, and uses Burner Finger 2 to grievously wound the captain, destroying much of his upper torso. Cang Du arrives and reprimands Bazz-B for not upholding a promise, before moving in to finish Hitsugaya.

 

In the SRDI, Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi senses the defeat of Captains Suì-Fēng and Hitsugaya. He then receives a call from Kisuke Urahara, who claims that he has found a way to recover the stolen Bankai.

 

 

As usual, that's about all there is to say to this manga these days.

 

Next week Urahara will restore their bankais, probably, and Hitsugaya will pwn the fire guy because lolol. Or maybe they'll have him use his bankai and think the fire guy is dead but ZOMG HE'S STILL ALIVE! Again!! And Ichigo is the only one who can save them all!

 

It's hard to believe I used to really, really look forward to reading this every week lol.

Bleach Chapter 552: [MangaStream] [Unix]

 

Spoiler

Bazz-B attempts to use their leader's rage as an incentive for Cang Du to leave Hitsugaya to him, but Cang Du states that Yhwach was the one that gave such an order, forcing Bazz-B to reluctantly let him take over. Cang Du throws Ranagiku, with her throat slit, onto the ground, shocking Hitsugaya. Cang Du explains his philosophy of how people who've been together for awhile should die together, and then introduces himself as Sternritter I, "The Iron." He activates Hitsugaya's Bankai. He comments that it is a beautiful Bankai, but also expresses his regret at letting Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, something that has been with Hitsugaya for awhile, stay alive.

 

Mayuri and Urahara discuss the fact Urahara has found a way to retrieve a stolen Bankai. Mayuri then reprimands Urahara for secretly inserting a communicator into his clothing and hangs up. However, Urahara arrives through a Senkaimon. Urahara asks Mayuri to help him with his plan, and points out Mayuri's secret room when he tries telling Urahara that he has no lab to work with. The staff of the SRDI begin rushing to enact the plan. Urahara then takes out some small tablets called "Shineiyaku", which is designed to prevent Bankai from being stolen. Urahara then compares Bankai to an Arrancar's Resurrección, as they have the same principles behind how they work. He then notes that although they recruited Arrancar into their army, the Wandenreich could not steal their Resurreción. Urahara theorizes that it is impossible to steal a Resurreción, and Mayuri theorizes that it would've been bad to a Quincy's reputation to steal one. Akon alerts Urahara and Mayuri that they located all the captains around the Seireitei and will proceed with the plan.

 

Urahara begins talking to the captains and lieutenants, and distributes the Shineiyaku, asking those with Bankai to take it via physical contact. Hitsugaya absorbs the pill, as Cang Du watches on in confusion. Mayuri and Urahara discuss why the Quincy kill Hollows. Mayuri states that it is impossible to maintain hostilities against something mindless. The only conclusion he could come up with was that the hatred was created through fear of something that could kill them. Urahara confirms this and states that the Quincy has no natural way of defending against Hollows, and that if a Hollow erodes them, their souls will be destroyed. He explains that by temporarily Hollowfying, then the Captain's Bankai will become dangerous to a Quincy. Elsewhere, Hitsugaya's stolen Bankai breaks in a burst of blood.

 

Surprise surprise, I actually like this chapter. I guess Urahara makes everything better in Bleach. Although I have to admit it's a little convenient that he shows up when he did and will make everything better. I like the explanation that Quincies can't handle any part of hollows. It makes sense now why they're exterminating them at extreme prejudice AND why they can't capture Ichigo's bankai (as he's basically more hollow than human at this point). Though I have to wonder if that one Quincy absorbing Allon was a plot hole.

 

Anyway, cool chapter for once.

[Smz]

Probably is one since Allon obviously would be a hollow. Guess Kubo forgot. lol

[Iyouboushi]

Someone pointed out that we only saw that Quincy start to die and we assumed it was by Grimmjow but what if it was Allon that caused him to basically explode? lol

 

But yeah, more likely we can just assume that Kubo forgot and it's a plot hole.

[Dead]

Lol you guys will feel funny if Kubo suddenly ties up every single plot hole in the series with a really cool explanation.

[Smz]

LOL

 

First time I actually saw that image.

[Dead]

ROTFLOL.

[Iyouboushi]

Saw this on another forum.

 

All I could think of was "You get a hollow! And you get a hollow! And you get a hollow! Everybody gets a brand new hollow!" I ain't even mad, Kubo

 

[Dead]

LOL!!! (maybe cause I'm not paying lots of attention) but everyone is getting Hollow Forms now?
