War about to start,5 week hiatus

Seems so. And it appears as though the manga will be coming to an end with this war... Still could last another 2-3yrs, if the last large battle was anything to go by.

coming back 9th of september? 9/9 oh kubo, you and your usage of 9's

Haha, I never thought of that xD.
Good catch

lol the last post in this topic was July 2013. xD


Well the war is advancing to more EPIC HEIGHTS

CHAPTER 585!!!!

BRILLIANT!!!! Should noticed that the beam of light was going upwards, the same direction that Ichigo recently came from. This is soooooooooooo great!!!! And think JUHA is planning Ichigo to chase after them anyway, since the special war powers could be used to destroy the Royal Guard and SK after the truth is exposed!!!!

http://readms.com/r/bleach/585/2413/1

let's see if 60 seconds is a minute. then 6000 seconds is.... over an hour?

This is getting MORE EPIC!!!! The next chapters should highlight each duel in full details.

The Quincies seem at a disadvantage (especially since Shinigami keep killing Quincies but the rate Quincies kill Captains/shinigami is at a minimal rate right now.)

but let's look at the current shinigami situation:

The only real threats currently on the battlefield is Rukia, Byakuya, and Renji, Ikakku and Yumichika are lower tiers.
Hisagi definitely knows Bankai now, but overall only 3 out of those 6 really are captain class or greater.
So let's say Yumichika also unlocked bankai, it still could be a close battle. Of course you know some of them might win out of raw plotkai, but think the battles could lead to more shinigami being killed off. It would be anticlimactic if this round winds up like the Espada fights, where no Espada killed a Captain or VC for that matter.

Now look at the current 8 Stern Ritter in this showdown:

You got Liltotto Lamperd, really tactical and has yet to unleash Complete Holy Form.

You have Volstandig Bazz B who has only been using Burner Finger 1 (level 1) in Complete Holy Form (and up to burner finger 3 in base mode.) his flames rival that of the previous Captain Commander.

Then there's Meninas McAllon, who's definitely the most powerful physically, and has yet to use Complete Holy Form (Volstandig)

Candice Catnipp has been using Volstandig, and as you can see, she can even offset Ichigo's new ultimate attack
with ONE ARM!! plus she dodged and really paralyzed a powered up Zaraki. (well she sacrificed said arm against Ichigo's new technique, which Giselle restored, but that is just an example that she's powerful enough to fight toe to toe with a powered up Ichigo at that level, she's definitely above Captain level considering Zaraki and Ichigo are beyond that level, and she can hold her own against them.)

NaNaNa Najahkoop has yet to show their true abilities and Volstandig upgrade.

the mystery gun wielding Quincy. Who was able to take out Shunsui's eye.

Pepe, the one that is hinted to have monsterous power level.

Giselle Gewelle could practically instant win against anyone once her blood touches someone that isn't a Quincy.
and then there's her Volstandig/Complete Holy Form capabilities!!!!

I really like how this chapter describes Ichigo's armor, linking it to the Royal Palace barriers, and overall the reason why Ichigo's face doesn't look like it's been in a blender after ALL THOSE BUILDINGS Meninas dragged his head through!!!!

Yeah, more shinigami could show up during these battles, but Quincy does have reinforcements too like.
Askin Nakk Le Vaar. Also Bambietta Basterbine's whereabouts are unknown. She might be Giselle's trump card.

It could depend how many Stern Ritter JUHA takes with him. Ishida is obvious. Jugram is likely.
There are 5 Royal Guard, plus SK, so maybe somehow Zaraki will be dragged into the fights above.

Also, even when the Fullbringers get involved,
there's also be some potential surprise counters like Hailbel.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! This is getting more intense!!!!

6000 seconds is 100minutes or an hour and 40 minutes.

oh thanks!!

Bleach 586

WOOOOOOOW!!!! Things are reallly developing nicely!!!!

Ah so the Hueco Mundo team are starting to appear (NEW COSTUMES TOO!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
They seem stronger.)

http://readms.com/r/bleach/586/2422/1

It seems not all the Stern Ritter in that group used Volstadig (Pepe doesn't seem to have it yet, not sure
about NaNaNa.) Ahaha, Liltotto has munchy style wings. Though this seems troublesome, since
usually antagonists power up first = protagonists power up next and make their comeback.
Though who knows, maybe there is something beyond Volstandig. but yeah these battles should result
in more shinigami killed. I mean it would be dull if the shinigami just kill them all without casualties.
Think Ikkaku and Yumichika are most likely to get killed. Byakuya, Renji and Rukia got upgrades, so they
probably will survive through this. Hisagi would bankai, though dunno, think these battles are gonna have more
shinigami showing up to save certain ones (but if they overdo it, then this is just gonna be a flawless victory
for shinigami.) but Bleach did kill off Kensei and Rose (not sure what Isane is planning though.) Ah, this
risks being a too lopsided battle like the Espada.

And the last page hints the real Quincy plan next chapter!! There's still more epic battles to come. The arrancar must
be getting some upgrades. It would be madness if Neliel's mask is not restored at this point (would make sense
for Orihime to do that before leaving Hueco Mundo.)

This is GREAT!!!! BLEACH 587

http://readms.com/r/bleach/587/2431/1

Orihime and Chad are so improved now!!!!

Ah, seems like Renji and Rukia are gonna fight Bazz B. The "H" is already using burner finger 4!!!!
but yea, with Rukia's bankai, she's probably gonna be the counter queen in this. Bazz B made it fairly clear
they are too strong for a single Captain to stand a chance against. Which reminds me, think Bazz B might
of killed Shinji off panel, using burner finger 3 and all (though maybe they left the minute they sensed Ichigo
arriving. )

Well those two shinigami are some of the more likely to survive this war anyway.
The Quincy's intel must know that Mayuri and Shunsui are among the biggest threats. The Stern Ritter lost
Gremmy, so they should aim for the strongest shinigami too like Shunsui and Mayuri.
maybe Askin and someone else are gonna do that.


If Urahara, Ichigo, Chad and Orihime go to the SK place, some others might still tag along.
And the arrancar team has yet to show up. And there's still some Stern Ritter yet to be revealed.

It is interesting JUHA goes to SK place with only Jugram and Ishida. Well yea they can be the strongest in
Wandenreich, though they are going up against 5 Royal Guard. it is strange, they have no intention to
kill Ichigo, so they probably are indirectly luring Ichigo to the SK battlefield as well. Though what JUHA said to
Ishida.... maybe they didn't factor in Urahara? nah, the Wandenreich intel would be aware. Well the
special war powers must be for some use to their advantage.
So why use Stern Ritter to attempt to kill Ichigo and Zaraki? Why didn't they kill Zaraki back then instead of
letting them upgrade?

And there's still about an hour for anyone to enter SK realm. They traveled much faster than it took the
shinigami to pass through the barriers, not sure how fast Urahara's method of transportation is.

Things are getting more interesting!!

All Of The Fanservice!

Ohhhh the new battles are starting to sizzle!!!! Very tactical progression in SK palace.

Ah, the Stern Ritter are already up against bad matchups. but it will be interesting what Bambietta will do.
Though couldn't Giselle technically use Bambietta assistance in spewing blood at them? They have yet to Volstandig like the others too , so it would be interesting if Ikkaku or Yumichika get killed. Still think Bambietta
has yet to show what she's really capable of. I mean if it wasn't for Komamura's true Bankai, Bambietta would have finished Shinji and killed Komamura, both Captain tier shinigami.

So let's see:

Bazz B vs Renji and Rukia

Giselle and Bambietta vs Ikkaku and Yumichika

Well let's see, that leaves the rest of the matches being some combination between
Candice,
Gun Quincy,
Pepe,
Liltotto,
Meninas,
Byakuya,
Hisagi,
and....
something.

Though there can be others that could jump in midway, like Love hasn't been seen for a long while,
and who knows what Askin will do, they might go back to hunt Mayuri, even though they don't like long battles,
Mayuri could be a problem. And there's also Shunsui.

For now, think the other match ups could be:

Gun Quincy, Pepe, and Candice vs Byakuya
Meninas, Liltotto vs Hisagi

It would be a terrible matchup if Meninas or Liltotto fights Byakuya (Byakuya has OP range advantage)
Dunno if everyone gets to show off their full Volstandig abilities. That would suck if Byakuya kills off everyone
in his area and then it comes down to Pepe vs Byakuya.

Hisagi even with a bankai wouldn't stand a chance against Gun Quincy (who fought Shunsui no problem).
Aaaaah it seems like this might be bad matchups for the Quincy. Like Bazz B obviously has a bad matchup
with Rukia there to keep Renji alive. The outcome of that battle is kinda obvious. Though if Burner Finger 5
can surpass Rukia's Bankai....
I dunno, even if it comes to that, they may get outside help
(that would be lame if Shinji hasn't been finished off by Bazz B, like seriously, Shinji takes a hit from
Volstandig Bambietta, survives that, if he survived Bazz B's Burner finger 3, that would really be tame
considering the Stern Ritter are supposed to fight to kill. )

The first Royal Guard is definitely getting killed off, though. Against JUHA, JUGRAM and Ishida????
That is Wandereich's battle to win.

That are nice panels showing all the Royal Guard reacting to the supreme Quincy presence.
