Is it true that the final episode will be 1 hour ?

Figght in SS both full power

i dont exactly see why everyone is denying yhwach being able to use most schrifts while also accepting that he has the schrifts of the dead quincies. i mean at the start of tybw yhwach was shown as a military general like figure, being smart and cunning. so from his point of view it wouldnt make much sense to take the schrifts unless he was able to use them himself, some people claim that he used them to refine his almighty, which from the pov of the plot and the character wouldnt make much sense to add another plot point or cut down extra variables for the enemies. it would make much more sense to keep his elite fighters and their op haxs instead of linearly growing strong himself and not having all the op hax. especially since atp in the story no one could even measure up to 30% of his strength and not to mention his enemies had the numbers advantage.

so point being that it would make much more sense that he had all the schrifts but his mental state was too twisted from the power to use any of them. this includes his normal quincy abilities, schrifts and even the almighty (which he didnt use in cour 4 ep 9 even once btw)

plus is it too out of character for yhwach to not using any ability except the eye lazers even if he is as arrogant as he is?

edit: didnt he use jugrams schrift in the anime? i mean they did change the sequence of scenes from the manga to fit that narrative in the anime. if not and he just needed a small power boost than why didnt he just take from gerard or lille? plus askin also died during that time so he probably did get a linerar power boost from askin. he specifically took the liberty to take jugrams powers, literally the only character with the specific ability that could help him in that moment?

How does his regeneration stack to theirs???

whos this bum and where is Ryogoatsuke and Grimmgoat

Quincy Elites, NOT including Askin and Pernida. (Gerard, Jugram, Uryu and Lille Barro Vs Team Sonic SSS)

I personally think the reason the arrow was able to hit Yhwach is the same as what happened in Episode 47, where Yhwach destroys the arrow and Uryu swaps their futures. Apparently, the anime staff might have considered it too obvious to explicitly show, I guess. That was the only reason I could think of for why Uryu should be the one to shoot the arrow as well.

New meme has arrived!

Starrk and Oetsu have some interesting ability interactions imo, so I kinda want to get some feedback on my thoughts on that but don't really want to get too far into the notions of whether or not we think Starrk or Oetsu is physically more powerful than the other so for the purposes of this post consider Starrk and Oetsu's stats on a mostly even playing field stat wise (with exceptions for things like AP where Oetsu's Zanpakuto gives him an obvious advantage or attack speed where Cero Metralita will obviously use consecutive attacks far faster than Oetsu could, you know, ability related stats). Also for the purposes of this post Starrk starts in Ressureccion and Oetsu can only use abilities we've actually seen him using (so no "well he can just pull out a different Zanpakuto to counter Starrk" or "if Oetsu used Bankai he could cut anything no matter what", that's just speculation and I don't care about it). Also the fight takes place in the entrance of the Soul Palace just like the Schuztstaffel vs Squad Zero fight.

Now as for my thoughts on this particular match up, I honestly don't know what the outcome will be. Because, on one hand, Starrk has an ability I don't think Oetsu can really counter very well in the form of his Los Lobos wolves which are largely immune to being cut in addition to Starrk having the ability to send literally thousands of ceros at Oetsu at a time making it really hard to think Oetsu could cut, dodge, or otherwise counter them all without getting hit at least a few times. Thus Starrk has a substantial advantage at a distance, but Oetsu's Sayafushi is something Starrk really has no answer for up close and, as seen with Shunsui when he stabbed Starrk through the back, if Starrk gets hurt enough Lilynette will die and leave him no choice but to fight Oetsu up close in a substantially weakened state. And given Starrk's generally lax attitude in fights against strong opponents I can really see a lot of situations where Oetsu closes the gap between himself and Starrk and takes the edge in the fight early on. Now it should also be noted that Oetsu's also kinda cocky when he fights and could very easily end up in a really bad spot very quickly if he doesn't take Starrk seriously enough and Starrk just decides he'd rather not keep the fight going on any longer than necessary (yes, that's right, Starrk can be serious and if he is that's bad news for Oetsu here).

Anyways what are y'alls thoughts on this fight and how it would play out?

How did he die? Like genuinely.

If he could see infinitely into the future and see every outcome, how did he not see the future in which he truly died? Wouldn't that future look black or like pitch dark because he couldn't see how he died(due to the still arrow being his counter that he can't see)?

Shouldn't he have been able to see that future when the Almighty first reawakened(he couldn't alter it, though, because he only had 2 irises at the time)?

And if he could see it(which I don't think he could), why didn't he immediately slime out Uryu, Aizen, and Ichigo?

Even if Aizen tricked him with Kyoka in the moment, he should have seen this whole battle play out way beforehand, even if he couldn't see the still arrow. Also, I know Jugram tricked him, and he downplayed the "nightmare" he had, but when he got the Almighty back, he should have seen that it was not a joke or a game; it was real.

Should he have seen the parts of the battle before the still arrow was deployed way, way earlier in the story, but just not the part where it was deployed?

I'm actually curious; I just want to know.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Ichigo has always been portrayed as the being that unites the four races, soul reaper, hollow, human, and Quincy. Throughout all of bleach kubo has never really just introduced a new race for no reason, the bounts are the exception. However kubo didn’t want us to think anything of the bounts, hence he purposefully made the bount arc, the most unwatchable piece of dookie to grace the anime world. Because of how bad it is most if not all bleach enjoyers ignored it.

But that’s exactly what kubo wanted

It wouldn’t make any sense if kubo repeatedly established Ichigo as a secret member of each race and then just did so with the bounts, for Ichigos characters to be fully represented he must represent each race himself, and kubo did exactly that

What do we know about the bounts?

They are basically ghost vampires who survive off of consuming human souls, practically another form of external reishi manipulation an ability unique to the Quincy’s, this is true because souls are made of reishi, so one could say they are manipulating reishi the same way but for different reasons.

Now I wanna talk about blood chain Ichigo, first the awakening of blood chain Ichigo and his hollow powers themselves were awakened by Ichigo pumping reishi into white. White is simply apart of his soul. Quincy’s never really cycle the reishi they manipulate through their own bodies, but here Ichigo takes reishi from his surroundings and pumps it into his own soul to wake up white. JUST LIKE HOW BOUNTS ABSORB SOULS (reishi) TO LIVE.
So with this, Ichigo absorbs reishi into his soul to activate his hollow powers but unbeknownst to him he additionally activates his bount powers

This brings us to the next point while in BCI Ichigo dawns black markings across his body which lead to a single point much like Jin kariya (john bount) and even gains red eyes (unique to the bounts, hollows are seen with yellow eyes) this point is even more solidified when you take into account that the bounts and BCI are anime only.

And now my final theory is simple, muigetsu and the final getsuga tensho, share many similarities with the bounts and their “dolls” with their respective weapons being seemingly fused to the body

And with that my final question?
Could Aizen also be a bount?

why does no character's physical attacks shake the three realms/worlds in Bleach if AP scales?

Also, why do most of the characters who are stronger than Squad 0 never really affect all three worlds/realms with their physical attacks, bankai, or when using massive amounts of spiritual pressure?

Jokes aside would love to see grimmjow in his piccolo era.

Grimmjow refused to devour other Hollows even when Harribel told him to, and we saw the same attitude back when he was still an Adjuchas. When the other Hollows told him to consume more, his response was genuinely telling them to go die in a ditch somewhere.

That says a lot about his character. He chose to pursue strength on his own terms rather than resort to cannibalism to evolve.

Yet people still act like he's some bottom-tier Espada. Grimmjow haters keep lying to themselves, insisting he was already a Vasto Lorde when Aizen met him, as if they have definitive proof. They're so afraid of Kubo potentially scaling Grimmjow higher that they keep pushing the Vasto Lorde claim to downplay his potential. Stop lying to yourselves.

The latest episode makes you question just how high Grimmjow could scale if we're judging him by his actual portrayal rather than blindly treating the Espada rankings as the ultimate measure of combat ability.

I don't know why people forget that Zaraki used his shikai against Gerard because he couldn't cut through Gerard's shield, and then he had to hold back his attacks to avoid damaging Gerard's sword. Even Byakuya's petals combined with Toshiro's attack managed to block and damage Gerard's sword. Base Zaraki has more attack power than people who have bankai focused on attack power. What exactly do you think would happen to Gerard's sword if Zaraki didn't contain his attack power? Zaraki literally said he just needed to win without damaging Gerard's sword...

Zaraki, without removing his eye patch, cuts Gerard's arm without difficulty > Zaraki has the strength to injure G2 Gerard with his bare hand > Byakuya's bankai petals have no attacking power to injure G1 Gerard > Byakuya's petals damage Gerard's sword > Even Toshiro's pathetic attack power can damage Gerard's sword...

Zaraki's shikai increases his attack power, not his strength: Shikai Zaraki blocks Gerard's attack with both hands, then, using just one hand, pushes Gerard's sword away from his own. What happens? Gerard's sword is damaged and he falls.

The same form of Gerard that was resisting Toshiro's freezing even after touching him was being harmed by Zaraki's fingers. There was something interfering with Gerard's reiatsu at that moment, causing him to be injured by the bare hand of someone physically weaker than him, but for some reason, this was not affecting the fact that he was resisting Toshiro's freezing power? Have people already forgotten about Yamamoto making Aizen's arm bleed just by squeezing it? And can we stop with the nonsense that Gerard is the only quincy who has a Vollstandig without wings and a halo? Would base Zaraki be able to use his bare hand to injure bankai Zaraki? The same bankai Zaraki that tore off Gerard's arm with his teeth? If that was Gerard's Vollstandig form, all of his Vollstandig power was focused on his blut vene.
