Gin Ichimaru and Rangiku Matsumoto have longed loved each other, from the very beginning. After the incident of Gin’s death by Aizen’s hands, we’ve always remembered that Rangiku is alone, her true love escapes her and there seems to be no one else that could love her the same way Gin did. They had loved each other from the moment they were young, however his death makes it impossible for Rangiku to truly love anyone else.

The amazing and creative image of Gin and Rangiku above was done by kazeku–sama, she has such a large collection of amazing artwork which you wouldn’t want to miss out, therefore I suggest you go and check her out.

Ichigo’s recently learnt about how Ol’ Man Zangetsu is not who he seems he is, in fact Nimaiya tells Ichigo that he is in fact Juha Bach from 1000 years ago! The artist himself did not realize that Bach and ‘Zangetsu ‘ had any similarities, therefore after finding this out, he was mind blown. He also explains that after reading Bleach 540, he thought that Juha Bach was always there pulling his strings.

The amazing artwork above was thought and created by IFrAgMenTIx who has been featured a number of times before. They’ve also got some of their work displayed on the header image. If you like their work, I highly recommend you go follow and have a look at their awesome work.

Bleach 541 enters a new stage for Ichigo as he talks to Juha Bach within him, he mentions that he’s not Zangetsu, in fact the Hollow he’s been training with is his Zangetsu, furthermore Juha Bach tried to protect him but failed. He brings out a sword when he disappears. He mentions that this sword is his real zanpakuto, Ichigo’s real Zangetsu!

Bleach 541 begins with Ichigo getting a few memories, the first time he fought him, he had a feeling that he was summoned there in front of Juha Bach, he tried to not think about the reason, he didn’t even have any information except that he was the enemy. Plus the first time he looked at him, it quickly reminded him of someone he knew.

He shouts his name, calling out Zangetsu, Ichigo asks him what all this means. The person we know as Zangetsu is in fact Juha Bach, he mentions that it is what he has heard from Nimaiya. He also mentions that he is not Zangetsu! At this moment, Ichigo gets heart broken, at the same time the place they’re in begins to break, the buildings break and go into water.

Ichigo asks if he’s really Juha Bach and not Zangetsu. Juha Bach answers this question by telling him that he’s the source of his Quincy Power within him, plus he’s both Juha Bach and at the same time he’s not him. Ichigo shouts telling him that he doesn’t get what he means. Ichigo asks if he’s an enemy, and ally and was what he mentioned a lie. He shouts for him to answer.

Juha Bach mentions that he is neither his ally or enemy. Furthermore his words are straight from his heart, and that he has never told him a lie, except about his name. He tells him that he should have noticed it by now. When he was teaching about how to use a Zanpakuto, it was not him who was helping him, it was in fact the power of his Hollow.

When he couldn’t use his Zanpakuto powers, when his life was in danger, the one who saved you was not him, in fact it was always his inner hollow! Ichigo is shocked to hear this. Juha Bach mentions that he didn’t want him to become a shinigami, that is why he tried to suppress his growing potential and always tried to be the core of his power.

Ichigo asks why, Juha Bach mentions that is it strange for him to keep him away from fights and danger, if he became a shinigami, he would have always been involved, he will be hurt, he will suffer, and thus one day he will have to kill Ichigo with his own hands. Juha Bach unleashes a sword looking object with flame like substance covering it.

Ichigo looks at him, mentioning that he may have to fight him at this point, Juha Bach mentions that he mustn’t let him become a shinigami, if he becomes one he will have to kill him. This is what he had thought, however eventually Ichigo did become a shinigami, he had chance, he trained hard and despite getting hurt and suffering, he chose to pursue that path.

When ever he saw him like this, he’s heart would waver, intending of stopping Ichigo becoming a Shinigami, he’s heart started to help him in his path, and even at this point, he’s happy to step back, he mentions that he’s become strong, he was able to watch him grow, all this time when he’s been close to him, he couldn’t be happier, at this moment he’s satisfied. Juha Bach begins to fade away after his skin starts to degrade, Ichigo mentions that he still has things to ask.

At this moment, we see Juha Bach cry after fading away, all that is left is the sword which Juha Bach summoned. It seems to be burning in a flame, Juha Bach mentions that what he’s been using is the power that he was unable to suppress, now he can finally fight using his own strength, take it with you, what’s in front of him is his real zanpakuto, the real Zangetsu! A large flash appears at this point, Bleach 541 ends here.

A new chapter after another, it seems that Bleach is getting better, even more and more! Ichigo getting another new power up as well as all of his own power is going to be awesome. It seems that as Juha Bach steps back, he won’t be able to use his Quincy powers, hopefully he might be able to unlock it later on, can’t wait to see what it looks like! Can’t wait for Bleach 542 next week!

Bleach 542 brings forth Ichigo’s new Zangetsu Zanpakuto! From a single sword to ones which are now two handed. We see Ichigo tell himself that both Hollow Ichigo and Juha Bach are his Zangetsu! From this he receives swords, one being larger than the other. He currently looks immense with both his swords! I love the new looks!

Bleach 542 begins with the past, it’s mentioned that there were no lies told, none from Hollow Ichigo, nor Juha Bach. Juha Bach saved Ichigo using the Quincy’s Shadow, he stopped his blood using his Quincy’s Blood. He even lent him his Quincy’s power when he was weak. He considers, both of them as Zangetsu, he doesn’t care who they are, he might even say that it’s not true but both of them are his Zangetsu!

He asks if he’s okay with that, calling Zangetsu one last time. As Nimaiya forges his Zanpakuto, Ichigo steps in, he looks down at whats being made, a large wave of water appears, all of Nimaiya’s helpers look at what’s happening, then mention that he shouldn’t be there as he’s hands will burn. Nimaiya tells her that it’s fine.

Nimaiya mentions that it is as he thought, if he puts his soul in there, it will be perfect. Once he does it, Nimaiya tells him that it’s done, he should take it out. He tells Ichigo that it’s he’s Zanpakuto! Ichigo begins to pull it out, once he does this, the water around him swoosh in large waves, it turns most of the water around him into steam, it begins to evaporate. Nimaiya’s helpers mention that they’ve never seen anything like this.

Nimaiya begins by telling them that the sea dried up because of the heat as well as Ichigo’s immense reiatsu! It was to cool the swords down. Ichigo struts he’s brand new swords, one which is much longer than the other, he holds both of them in pride, calling his swords Zangetsu’s! He looks at the swords and thinks of both Hollow Ichigo and Juha Bach, the combination of them being Zangetsu!

Ichigo talks to himself that from this point on, he’ll never ask for his help again, he will stop asking for him to lend his power, or for him not to be in his way, he also won’t ask for them to fight together. From this point on, he will fight on his own, he thanks Zangetsu! He mentions that he is himself, and that the blade is him! There is no longer a bond since his power is finally his.

We move to the Quincy HQ, where see a large number of people, especially the great number of Stern Ritters! They’re told to hold their Quincy’s crosses high for their leader, Juha Bach! He asks if all the Stern Ritters are there, he mentions that he has some information to tell them! Bleach 542 ends here.

This may have been a short chapter, but it was one which was awesome and great. I like what Kubo has done, especially give Ichigo a brand new look, especially the new Zangetsu sword, the two Zanpakuto will definitely be something new for all of us to see, there doesn’t seem to be any Shinigami I know off with dual handed swords. Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 543, to see what Juha Bach has to tell us!

Bleach 542 brought a new beginning to Ichigo’s line, as Ichigo got a new look! Ichigo obtained a new sword! Not just one but in fact two new zanpakuto’s! Ichigo’s New Look is awesome, as the above image shows. Ichigo now holds two swords, both for his two Zangetsu’s as we know them. Hollow Ichigo and Juha Bach are now referred to as Zangetsu!

The small sword I think is manifested from Juha Bach, Ichigo’s Quincy powers, my reason for this is that Quincy weapons are usually well defined and smooth in texture, they don’t seem to have random curves, however when Juha Bach materialised a sword within Bleach 541, it was a somewhat the same size sword in flames as the one in Ichigo’s right hand. It’s hard to tell.

The larger sword in Ichigo’s right hand is a lot bigger, it’s very similar to Ichigo’s previous Shikai sword, it was large and bulky. Plus Juha Bach never gave Ichigo any of his Quincy powers, except for certain events, so would that mean the large sword was Hollow Ichigo’s (Real Zangetsu) and that it relates to the larger on the right, I seem to think so.

I like what Kubo Tite has done now, he showed a new sword during Bleach 541, however now he mind blows me with two swords. If I remember correctly, Bleach hasn’t had a Shinigami with two Zanpakuto’s as their Bankai, except for Shunsui and Jushiro with their Shikai. If i’m correct, this is now Ichigo’s Bankai as previously it was his Bankai that was broken, so I’m guessing Nimaiya’s fixing his Bankai, unfortunately he wasn’t able to, Ichigo fixed it himself.

Furthermore the reason I think why Ichigo is keeping the idea that Juha Bach is not someone else and only Zangetsu because he doesn’t want someone he trusts to change, he’s had a number of his friends put themselves on the line for Ichigo’s survival, even after getting to Soul Society to fight Juha Bach, he sensed that he was summoned, he doesn’t want someone who lives and helps him such as Juha Bach to be someone who killed a number of his comrades, he cannot handle this fact, that is why I think that Ichigo is unable to comprehend, he just wants to stay sane, it seems that to this point, he doesn’t fully understand what has just been told to him by Nimaiya and Juha Bach.

One question I’m asking myself at this point is, where is Hollow Ichigo? If Juha Bach still exists within Ichigo, where the hell is he? The explanation in which I’m currently thinking off is that the Asauchi he picked was Hollow Ichigo himself, when Nimaiya was trying to reforge Ichigo’s bankai, Nimaiya was repairing Ichigo’s Hollow Ichigo side, Nimaiya had to trigger Ichigo’s Quincy side to also upgrade so Ichigo’s reforged sword would be perfect. Once he did this, Ichigo’s sword wasn’t just one but in fact two different swords, both named Zangetsu! One being Juha Bach and the other Hollow Ichigo! This is why Ichigo obtained two different zanpakuto’s.

To add, I don’t think Juha Bach within the Quincy Empire knows what is currently happening in Ichigo’s head, he might have an idea that Ichigo’s changing but his ideas and thoughts may not be fully clear, that is until he finds out or they fight once more. However my mind now knows that since Juha Bach’s blood is in everyone, it’s most likely that he may know, it’s fully possible thought Juha Bach may have other things to talk about regarding the war, lets see what he has to say in next week’s Bleach 543 chapter.

So what do you think of my thoughts? Would you argue against me or are you following my thoughts? If not, then just tells me what you think! Use the comment section below.

Bleach is a fantastic anime and manga, and there are literally a ton of different moments which we would all consider to be the best of the best. However I’ve brought together 10 great moments in Bleach’s anime series which I hope you’ll agree with when it comes to being the greatest Bleach moments. This is not a countdown of the best ones, in fact it’s just a compilation of the best moments.  [Drunk Bleach Characters: RedPig31]

Ichigo versus Grimmjow: Their fight blew everyone away, the intensity and awesomeness of the overall battle was great and I’m sure you’ll agree that it had to be one of the best fights and moments within Bleach. After Grimmjow saw Ichigo’s abilities, he wanted to see how strong he really was, he even involved Orihime which only pushed Ichigo to become even more stronger. We didn’t see the death of Grimmjow which could only mean one thing. [Image: Tremblax and Akira-12]

Ichigo versus Aizen: The battle between Ichigo and Aizen was spectacular, the battle scene was no longer there after what Ichigo and Aizen did to their surroundings. Ichigo’s tremendous strength and force was nothing short of amazing, it proved to be something that even Aizen couldn’t comprehend. Even after trying to see how Ichigo’s increased his power, he could only mention that he’s only surpassed him for a moment. In sense it seems to be true as after the battle was over, Ichigo unfortunately lost all of his Shinigami power, he learnt from Aizen that people like him will go through a lot of trouble for a small thing. After unleashing and showing Aizen his Final Getsuga Tensho, he was unable to counter attack, Urahara had sealed his fate after imprisoning him. [Image: Tremblax]

Ichigo’s Hollow Transformation and Fight Against Ulquiorra: Ichigo with his Hollow Mask could not have been compared with Ulquiorra due to his Segunda Etapa. He keeps on trying to fight but is quickly killed, his heart is shot by a close range cero right to his chest making a circular hole which see’s nothing but darkness. After Orihime’s struggle and panic, Ichigo hears and let’s go, he quickly enters his Hollow Transformed State which has only been seen once. Ulquiorra is surprised and tries to fight it, unfortunately he also notices how at power a human is when it’s transformed into a Hollow. He admits defeat and dies peacefully. This was one of many great fights within Bleach! [Image: forsakenlight77]

Ichigo meets his Inner Hollow (Hollow Ichigo): During Ichigo and Zaraki’s battle, we saw another great fight between those, however this was the first time Ichigo met Zangetsu as well as his Inner Hollow, Hollow Ichigo is what we call him, he is truly opposite of Ichigo. He is pale and has white skin as seen in the image. We saw Ichigo go up against Hollow Ichigo, it was Ichigo’s turn to gain back his broken sword and rebuild it so he could fight Zaraki, he had to plead them in order to obtain their power as well as their help to defeat Zaraki, we he was able to, with a number of different injuries to both parties of course. The first time was really awesome, after that their encounters only got better! [Image: totmoartsstudio2]

Vizards Entrance to Aizen’s War: The Vizards are awesome, they consist of awesome characters such as Shinji and Kensei. Although they were once banned, they’re back in Soul Society to take back their seats. I love them, they were epic, and their entrance to Aizen’s war was awesome, it was epic to see that they’re going to fight finally, especially with their full power including their awesome Hollow Masks. [Image: ZanmatoSan]

Aizen against Urahara, Isshin and Yoruichi: This moment was definitely a shocker, the fact that all three of them came together to fight against a common foe showed that what Aizen was doing was definitely something that was troublesome. We saw Urahara, Yoruichi and Isshin fight against Aizen in sync which showed that they had previously seen each other fight, or that they are very skilled and are able to fight in such consistency that it pushed Aizen back! Which they were able to do until Aizen came back with force. It was an awesome spectacle to see them fight against Aizen with a serious face. They are truly amazing. [Image: MinatoSama207]

Ichigo Obtains Bankai and Battles Byakuya: Ichigo was finally able to show how awesome his Bankai looks like, we even got to see Byakuya’s amazing Bankai during this fight, he wasn’t even able to comprehend how Ichigo’s small Sword can be his Bankai until he fought it. We saw their awesome battle and thus it had to be one of the top ten moments! I bet you’ll agree too. [Image: Ruymond]

Ichigo Regains his Shinigami Powers: Although many fans left Bleach before the Fullbring arc, they missed out on a lot of awesome goodness from Ichigo as well as what we can describe as Ichigo’s different powers. He’s gone from Shinigami to Hollow powers to now Fullbring. After losing it, he was struck by Rukia from behind, this in turn restoring his Shinigami powers, from this point on, he went crazy and tried to take out Ginjo as well as the others who hurt his friends and family. He was lied to and made him train as hard as he could in turn, he’s be able to obtain this Fullbring which only got stolen by Ginjo. After he regained his Shinigami power, he suddenly his ability to fight which we saw when he killed Ginjo with his own strength. He’s now gone to a better place. [Image: Amy-corE]

Ichigo’s New Bankai and New Look: During the Fullbring Arc, there were a lot of new surprised, ones which made me excited! I looked upon a brand new and awesome Ichigo which finally had a new Bankai look, it was one which had also integrated his Fullbring powers as well as some other awesome improvements. I thought it was awesome, this is why he’s second Bankai look had to be in the top 10 greatest moments. [Image: miiChaneko]

Gin’s Death and Rangiku’s Emotions: After Gin’s attempt at stopping Aizen, we knew that it was truly too late, we knew something important was coming, even Aizen didn’t see his attack. He went down with just one hit and it was the end of him, we saw Rangiku quickly appear, it was truly an emotional moment, as well as honored to be a great one here. Gin was awesome, and if he is truly dead, this moment has to be one of the top 10 moments! [Image: TouchedVenus]

That took a while to write and think about the greatest moments, hopefully you’ll agree with these awesome moments, if there are any that I missed, and those which you think should have gone instead of any of the ones placed above, you should definitely tell me what you think, just comment and tell me! Remember that these are only based on the anime, not the manga. Many other epic moments have happened in the manga.

Bleach 543 makes Uryu Ishida the successor of Juha Bach! It’s mentioned that he’s the only Quincy left. He will need to go through a lot of processes to which he will learn how to be his successor. Many of the Quincies Stern Ritter’s are unhappy as they wanted Hashwalth to be their successor.

Bleach 543 begins as Juha Bach gets upon the stage to talk to all his Vandenreich as well as his Stern Ritter about something important. He brings someone on stage,  we clearly see that Uryu Ishida is with Juha Bach on stage, he wears the full white Quincy clad cloths. Everyone notices this, they asked themselves who that man is with Juha Bach! It’s as though he shouldn’t be there. Juha Bach introduces Uryu Ishida to them as the last Quincy alive in this world!

Juha Bach tells everyone that he nominates him as his successor! Everyone is terribly shocked at this fact  and that they don’t even know this person. They mentions that this man is not even known to them and he’s quickly named their successor! He  is stopped by Hashwalth himself as though he shouldn’t make any judgements at this point.

Juha Bach mentions that in the upcoming fights, they will all be able to see for themselves his true power. He ends the meeting there and then. A few of the Stern Ritter after words talk about what just happened, they don’t get what is happening, they don’t even know who he is.

We’re introduced to Stern Ritter S, Mask De Masculine. Stern Ritter K, BG9. Stern Ritter I, Cang Du and Stern Ritter H, Bazz-B. Mask De Masculine mentions asks if someone should explain. BG9 answers that only his Majesty can explain this. Bazz-B cannot seem to understand what is happening and that he cannot accept this.

He goes off, Mask De Masculine asks where he’s going, Bazz-B mentions that he’s going to his Majesties as he cannot keep quiet about this, Mask De Masculine tells him to stop as they won’t be able to forgive him for what he’ll do. Haschwalth approaches him, Stern Ritter B, Jugram Haschwalth.

Jugram Haschwalth asks where he’s going, he replies with another question, asking him where he’s just about to go. Bazz-B mentions that he was sure that Haschwalth would be Juha Bach’s successor. Most of the Stern Ritter would not have had a problem with this, he then asks if he feels anything about what has just happened.

Haschwalth mentions that what has happened is Juha’s decision, he cannot change his mind, Bazz-B calls him a coward for this. He then gets ready shouting that he should just leave that seat to him, if it doesn’t bother him then he should get his chance to sit on it too. Bazz-B is told to calm down, he mentions that he’s perfectly calm, even more than Haschwalth.

Out of nowhere appears a portal life thing where a person comes through. He starts his words by mentioning that they’re both calm. We’re introduced to Stern Ritter D, Askin Nakk Le Vaar. Bazz-B asks what he’s there for. Nakk Le Var mentions that he’s there to help him as they have people who are spying on them.

Nakk Le Var mentions that they should stop this fighting, as nothing will come out of it, he looks towards Haschwalth and tells him that nothing come out of it except poison, he emphasises on this. He asks if he understands, then labels Haschwalth as his next emperor.

We go to where Uryu Ishida is, we see Ishida drink something,  Juha mentions that when he drinks that, the ceremony will be over, his power will awaken soon, he will then give him the Schrift (Literally meaning Sacred Scripts), from that he will be able to bear the name and the letter A, just like him! Bleach 543 ends here.

What a crazy episode, things are already beginning and it seems that people are beginning to hate Uryu! It also seems that he may not have his full power as of yet and that after he drinks that he will be able to unlock it, hopefully we’ll see this sooner than later. Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 544!

Bleach 543 has just been released and a lot has happened! What was firstly predicted was nothing more than false, Uryu Ishida will not be fighting by Juha Bach’s side! In fact his mission, or rather his destiny is to become Stern Ritter A! Juha Bach got on a podium in which he told all of his Vandenreich and Stern Ritter army that Uryu Ishida is the last Quincy, and that he will replace him as the next king, he is his successor.

Many Stern Ritters were shocked that someone who they don’t even know would be their king. At the end of the chapter we learnt that Juha Bach already started the process of giving Uryu Ishida his powers back when he drank that liquid. We already know that he already has his Quincy powers, could Juha Bach  be talking about powers which only pure Quincies posses, for example the Blut system. We know that Ishida is not pure, he’s the birth child of Katagiri and Ryuken. Katagiri is not a pure Quincy.

Speaking of Ryuken, Juha Bach mentioned that Uryu is the last Quincy left, where does this leave Ryuken, does it mean that he’s been killed or does it mean that he’s hidden himself well enough that even Juha Bach nor his soldiers can capture or find him. One more point could be that he’s just denied his Quincy side, thus unable to use his powers any longer.

We know that Ishida has always been the cautious type, he’s always been the thinker, therefore thinking before he even gets himself into a situation. From the very beginning, he’s always hated Shinigami’s for what they’ve done, however after meeting Ichigo, he’s learnt that some can be different. So what would possess him into choosing the Quincy side at this peak moment, he’s even been elected as the next King, so what has he given up already?

Moreover, when Juha Bach mentioned that Uryu is the only Quincy left, does that refer to Impure Quincies or rather that the Stern Ritter and Vandenreich are not Quincies themselves, and rather just plain soldiers with Quincy abilities thrusted into them by Juha Bach? We need bit more explanation to what the Stern Ritters are and how they’re different from Quincy’s themselves.

We saw some new Stern Ritter members as well  as their letters. Especially Jugram Haschwalth, and we could have easily guessed that as he was always by Juha Bach’s side, he would have to be a high enough rank, and thus he’s B. We got introduced to Stern Ritter D, Askin Nakk Le Varr, who seemed strong as well as cocky. Someone who Zaraki would be perfect to fight. He mentioned that there are people spying on them, the old guy, who we need to know more about to understand what that could be.

I’m guessing that there might be a group of people within the Vandenreich who might not accept what the war is about, and the old man might be there for a reason. Furthermore Nakk Le Varr mentions poison when referring to Haschwalth, could that be in junction that Haschwalth’s special ability is based on some kind of poison.

Furthermore, Nakk Le Varr doesn’t stop himself when admitting that he also wants Jugram Haschwalth to be the next King. He bows to him as well shares his desires that he is strong. I personally like to mention that Jugram Haschwalth would be a bad choice for a King, even if he’s Stern Ritter B, and Juha Bach’s right arm, he doesn’t seem to have any leadership skills, what he treasures most seems to be that he wants to protect Juha Bach regardless if he’s a king or not. Plus Nakk Le Varr seems to be one of those people who would use abuse his power if he got around to being Stern Ritter B.

Juha Bach mentions that Uryu Ishida will prove himself in the upcoming battles, obviously proving that once he obtains his pure Quincy abilities, as mentioned above when he drinks the liquid. He will show his true power as a Quincy as well as Stern Ritter A. One thing in which this foreshadows is the fact that Ichigo will definitely be in the battlefield, and once these two approach each other, it will make Ichigo crazy. And because Juha Bach would want Uryu to show his potential, he will be forced to fight his friend which will once again be a terrible thing.

Uryu at this point will have two choices, for him to fight against Ichigo with full force and kill him, or rather admit that he been Juha Bach just to obtain Pure Quincy abilities so he could help Ichigo and the others. Or he could fake his death at this point. If Uryu doesn’t show that he’s capable of being Stern Ritter A, or rather the king of the Quincy’s, many other Stern Ritter’s such as Bazz-B and Nakk Le Varr will quickly name their champion to be Jugram Haschwalth.

So what did you think of what I just mentioned, do you agree, do you have any more points to add and what did you think of the overall chapter? Use the comment section to tell me! I certainly can’t wait for Bleach 544.

Bleach 544 see’s why Uryu Ishida had escaped the Impure Quincy Purge, Juha Bach mentions that he posses something which even surpasses Juha Bach’s powers. Hashwalth describes Uryu to be trapped where he is, everyone will keep a close eye on him and if he betrays everyone will want his head. Urahara and the others are in Hueco Mundo looking for something useful which has been described by Urahara to take some time.

Bleach 544 begins as Ishida asks Juha Bach why he made him his successor, Juha Bach responds by asking if it’s a problem. Uryu mentions that making someone who just appeared out of nowhere his successor will only create friction amongst his army. Juha Bach tells him that this is a good thing, he doesn’t need or want sheep following him.

Juha Bach mentions that it’s not even sunk in, he also mentions that he has his reasons for picking Uryu as his successor, once Uryu realises this, it will all become clear. Uryu doesn’t seem to have realised it yet. Juha Bach asks him why he’s still alive at that point. Uryu quickly remembers. Juha Bach tells him that 9 years ago, during his Selection (Selektierung), all the Mixed Quincy (Gemischt) were purged except Uryu who is mixed. He therefore was described the sole Quincy that survived through the Selection.

This is why he had introduced him as the Last Survivor. He possesses something that can surpass Juha Bach’s powers. This is the reason why he was made his successor. Juha Bach tells him that shouldn’t worry about anything, he should not over-analyze things. And the only thing he should do is come with him. Uryu understands and only wishes for the best of his Majesty.

We move on to Bambietta Basterbine who asks a man to come over to her room, when he arrives, we see that he’s literally cut in half by her. While she prepares we see four members walk one, all Stern Ritters. They mention that she’s caused such a mess there. We’re introduced to Stern Ritter G Liltotto Lamperd, Stern Ritter P Meninas McAllon, Stern Ritter T Candice Catnipp and Stern Ritter Z Giselle Gewelle.

Liltotto mentions that spilling sweets and spilling blood are two different things, calling Bambietta a bitch. Meninas mentions that she should have at least done it outside. Candice mentions that it doesn’t matter if it’s inside or outside, she shouldn’t have done it altogether, especially guys like that. Giselle mentions that Candice seems to be taking all the young subordinates for a whirl.

They all notice something in particular on the wall. Bambietta asks for them to be quite for a second, she is worried about something, Candice asks about what. Bambietta mentions that she’s worried about the future of the Vandenreich. We see Haschwalth walk in and is welcomed by his maid.

Haschwalth tells her that it’s late and that she should go sleep. She steps in mentioning that she’s disappointed with what Juha Bach mentioned, she mentions that it should have been him. He asks if she’s disappointed, she seems to be, but she asks if he isn’t. Haschwalth mentions that this was his intentions from the beginning. He had calculated this, he wanted to purposely create chaos and friction in order to make everyone judge each other harsher and direct all those judgemental eyes towards Uryu.

So they could ask them what type of man he is, the kind of power he posses and how he processes information. By doing this, he will be left with a short leash which means the only thing he’s capable of doing is to devote himself to Juha Bach. This is even if realises Juha Bach’s true intentions.

We go to Hueco Mundo with Orihime, she seems to have arrived somewhere, she mentions that people say that travelling is considered training. She takes out a potato type thing, she imagines what Chad could be doing. She imagines him eating the snack, mentioning how good or bad the snack really is. She then talks to Pero who is currently accompanying her.

A flying bat like thing follows her, it mentions that Orihime shouldn’t make it blush. She also remembers that Urahara mentioned that Pero has a camera to monitor potential danger or if she’s ever in danger. Orihime mentions that she was in danger multiple times and he never showed up. Chad walks out and tells Orihime that it’s fine, she mentions that it’s okay and that she’s just there.

Chad mentions now every seems to be together. We see a man behind Chad who is covered in shadows, could this be Grimmjow? They walk in to see Urahara, it looks like they’ve arrived safely he mentions. He’s glad that they have, he also mentions that for what he’s doing, it seems like it will take some time. Bleach 544 ends here.

What a crazy chapter, we finally see that Uryu is also special, just like Ichigo, Uryu could even has his own powers to own and show off. This is getting better and better. Plus we’ve seen more characters and we’re back with Urahara’s adventures, when will we get to see who the mysterious man is? Can’t wait for Bleach 545.

Bleach 545 clearly surprised me. I was looking at previous chapters all wrong, instead of looking at the obvious that Uryu actually survived the Mixed Quincy Selection, I thought that Ryuken had somehow hid himself or died, or that the Vandenreich aren’t Quincy’s at all. Bleach 545 put me back on the right track.

I personally think that Uryu is getting himself into something that he really doesn’t want to get, or rather he shouldn’t get into this situation because it’s most likely that he’s going to fail during another attack on Hueco Mundo or Soul Society. This will most likely prove to lose all trust and hope the Stern Ritters may have on Uryu as the successor.

However I could be wrong and it could work in the other way, that he actually activates his powers and becomes a Pure Quincy, to which he will be able to use his Blut as well as other special abilities. As I mentioned in previous posts, Haschwalth is not a good candidate to be his successor, my explanation to this is that he knows how the Vandenreich and Stern Ritter works, he knows it too well and trusts Juha Bach to work at his best.

However Uryu, the successor, doesn’t have a clue. I think what Juha Bach is getting at here is that he wants something to drastically change the way the Vandenreich and all Quincy’s work. By making a change he wants to make it better. Juha Bach knows that Uryu is definitely clever, and by appointing him the successor, he might even able to make some changes for the better. It’s not fully clear what Juha Bach’s intentions are, maybe he wishes for Uryu to somehow make peace with the Shinigami. I know it’s a crazy idea, but the Vandenreich see Juha Bach as a strong leader who can take any enemy and defeat them. However if Juha Bach appoints someone who they know nothing about, it could change their view of their leader where they will follow the new King of peace. I think this may be a reference to the friction, as in some Quincy’s may not readily accept this but overtime it will get smoother.

Furthermore, we know that Jugram Haschwalth is Stern Ritter B, he obviously seems to be clever, even more than the Standard Quincy’s. For any other Stern Ritter, he was the obvious choice to replace Juha Bach however that didn’t work out. He knows Juha Bach better than anyone, and likewise he knows that with every decision he knows that Juha has his own intentions, we may not know it yet, but it’s most likely that we will.

A small mystery that I noticed was that Bambietta Basterbine brought out something from her room, a mysterious box thing from her safe. Could it be that she’s going to go to assassinate Uryu or could she be planning something even more worst? Another small thing which we noticed was the experiment in which Urahara was doing, it looked a lot like the Quincy logo. Could this be hinting at the fact that the Vandenreich HQ is a lot closer than we think?

So what do you think of all that I’ve mentioned, do you agree? do you think it’s correct or wrong? Comment below.

Bleach 545 shows Rukia and Renji’s efforts to becomes even stronger as they go through the training set by Squad Zero members, now it’s Ichibei Hyosube. We also see Hiyori talking to Shinji about a certain package, which Hiyori receives. She also receives one from Mayuri. Shunsui also appears in the real world, to find Ichigo’s friend in front of him. He tells them to prepare their parting with Ichigo. We also see Byakuya being all healed.

Bleach 545 begins as Yuzu at home begins to make the food, she calls Karin and Isshin to eat their lunch. Isshin mentions that he will treat his next patient then come to eat. Karin will come once she kills the game boss she’s facing. Yuzu mentions that she’s doesn’t even stop playing for a minute. Yuzu notices that Ichigo has not yet come back from training camp.

Renji and Rukia are both training hard, they face each other and state until the time has come. The bell rings after them, they shout and Renji falls over. He mentions that what they’re doing is cold blooded. Rukia mentions that what they’re doing is nothing but staring at each other, how could he get out of breath. Renji mentions that he doesn’t like what they’re doing. Standing around and pointing their swords at each other isn’t his idea of practicing.

Rukia mentions the same, that she doesn’t like pointing her sword at friends. That being his point, however it sure is hard to breath is that place they both mention. The concentration of spirit particles there is immensely dense. The sensation of feeling like I was being crushed by something no longer exists but It still feels as if she’s moving around in water. Furthermore, there might be other ways in which the dense concentration of spirit particles might be affecting them.

Rukia gets a call, she accepts the call and tells Renji that it was Kirinji, she mentions that Byakuya has finally regained consciousness, thus he seems to be healed. Kirinji mentions that he certainly took a long both, possibly the longest anyone has done so in his waters. Kirinji asks if he’s feeling woozy. Byakuya mentions that there is no need for such concern as he still lacks the strength needed to feel woozy.

However he’s made it far for him that he will need to regain the stamina needed to feel woozy once more. Renji gets happy that he’s finally back. Renji mentions that once he’s eaten and had his blade prepared, he’ll have to go to the next stage. Which they both fear. Which is Senjumaru Shutara who’s been described as the Great Weave Guard.

Renji mentions that going through that stage was a nightmare for him, by far the worst experience of his life. Rukia mentions that it probably was, both of them were literally stripped of their dignity, just thinking about it gives her the shivers. Renji begins to think of it once again while Rukia shouts at him not to.

Shutara mentions to Rukia to take his Fundoshi off, Rukia objects to this mentioning that he thought that they were only being fitted for new Shihakushos, she should be able to do so while his Fundoshi is still on. She mentions that it’s okay, she’ll simple take his measurements after she detaches little-renji from him. Renji quickly gets naked mentioning that it’s coming off.

Renji snaps out of the recollection, Rukia mentions that from his attitudes, it seems that he’s only recalled his memory before taking his clothes off, after that it would probably be really bad. Rukia mentions that she is okay with Renji going through with it, however she looks towards Byakuya and how he’ll react.

From the back comes a loud noise in which Ichibei Hyosube appears, as the Eyebyall Monk (Eyeball Monk) who mentions that they’re just gossiping like some hens. He also mentions that when they arrived, the spirit particle density overwhelmed them to the point that they were motionless on their knees gasping for every breath. And now they’re regain some stability. He mentions that he wants to continue his training towards the inner sanctum. Rukia and Renji both shout in eagerness.

In Soul Society, Shinji mentions to Hiyori on the phone that he’s not giving her a direct command however he’s asking as politely as he can so she could do it. Hiyori mentions that she can sense him, and that he’s not doing anything what he’s saying, in fact he’s just asking.

Shinji mentions that he’s going to leave it to his hands, she’s the only one that can pull it off, he then mentions that she should be feeling super special at this point, then hangs up the phone. A delivery arrives from Soul Society. It seems that there were two people who sent her packages, one being Shinji and the other being Mayuri!

Hiyori gets excited mentioning that when life gives you lemons, you squeeze the lemons until they’re dry. She quickly gets prepared forming a team to repair the distortion between the human world and soul society. Everyone is surprised that such a team has been formed.

A few hours later, Keigo, Tatsuki and Mizuiro are walking home together. Keigo asks if they have any idea where Ichigo’s gone. Tatsuki mentions that she wouldn’t know and that he should try Karin and Yuzu. It was mentioned that he’s going to football camp, but that ended months ago. He’s obviously lying to them. Since Chad, Orihime and Ishida are also missing, there seems to be something fishy going on in Soul Society.

A man stand behind them, Keigo asks who he might be. Mizuiro mentions that he’s the captain of the 8th division, he heard it during the debacle with Aizen. Shunsui is flattered that they’d remember something without even exchanging who they are. Mizuiro asks what he’s doing there, mentioning that if a captain has travelled all this way, it must be important.

Shunsui steps forwards and looks at them directly, he then mentions that he’s there to pass an important message to his friends. It’s about Ichigo’s friends and how it related to Ichigo’s eventually parting away. This could be a grave thing, a different meaning are attached to here too. Bleach 545 ends here.

What an impressive chapter, and it surely did seem to be a long one. Furthermore it seemed like Shunsui is definitely checking all his option, could what he’s just done a way for him to recruit even more people or is he trying to tell them something. Can’t wait to see what he means during next week’s Bleach 546!

Bleach 545 is out and it was awesome. So many questionable things have happened within this chapter that it might just make you crazy. Rukia and Renji are training with their final Squad Zero members while Byakuya is all healed up within the first member. Hiyori and the other Vizards are told to repair the unbalanced connection between Soul Society and Human World, they also receive a package from Mayuri. And finally, Shunsui meets with Ichigo’s friends telling them to prepare to part ways with him.

Shunsui is now the Captain Commander, and for him to come all this way to just see three mere humans is nothing short of suspicious. He reveals and tries to shock them by telling them that they should prepare to not see Ichigo again. Is this just a lie from Shunsui or is he actually telling the truth. We’ve known that Ukitake and Shunsui to be key characters in Soul Society, and they played an important part in many arcs, so why do I think there is something missing here.

It’s believed that both Orihime and Chad, who are Ichigo’s closest friends have received powers directly from the Hogyoku. If Shunsui can get Keigo, Tatsuki and Mizuiro to regret their powerlessness to help Ichigo then there could be a way in which they could still develop unique powers to help Ichigo, just like Orihime and Chad are. Therefor Shunsui could use the powers they have to his advantage.

The fact that Shunsui mentioned them parting ways could possibly mean that Ichigo could either die during this war. Otherwise he could join Juha Bach in the war, if this was his thought then it would mean that Shunsui has somehow found out the truth about Ichigo and his past. Shunsui is a clever guy, he wouldn’t just walk into a situation knowing nothing, he’s planning it really well, plus the fact that he came by person must mean that he either doesn’t want other people to know what he’s doing, or that he’s the only one that can perform his plan.

Another suspicious thing about this chapter was the fact that Hiyori received a package from Shinji and Mayuri. It’s understandable that Shinji would want only them to do such a thing because they’re trustworthy. The way they could repair the distortion between the Human World and Soul Society could be to either kill more hollow and to send more humans souls to Soul Society, thus balancing it out.

The more suspicious thing about this chapter would be the fact that Mayuri sent something back to the Human World. Could this point at the fact that Mayuri knows where Urahara is in the Human World and that he knows his in Hueco Mundo. The fact that Hiyori received the package could mean that she’s the only other person who could do this.

Furthermore, what is in the package which Mayuri sent, could it be some kind of human body control device which was spoiled to us, or could be a few order on how to collect something from human souls within the Human World? Could be anything. Furthermore, I notice that Hachigen had regained his arm once more.

Concerning Shutara, her techniques concern the people and how they wear their clothes. Could this point to material which best fits a person, for example material which gives the person a certain ability or power. Furthermore her creation unknown to us, however I’d like to guess that it could be the basic Shinigami cloths, Shihakusho. Otherwise she could be the creator of artificial limbs like the four she has access too. Furthermore, as Rukia is worried about Byakuya during his meeting with Shutara, I’m not as worried as he’s less of a coward than of them.

So what did you think of my thoughts? Do you agree? Do you any suggestions to the questions posed in the manga and what I didn’t cover you can comment on using the comments section.

An incredible image of Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez which was inspired by Bleach 544 for various reason. The first being that while we see a man standing on the background, the first thoughts on our heads could be no one else but Grimmjow himself. He was presumed defeated by Ichigo but never killed, therefore he could be the only person in Hueco Mundo there to join Urahara’s side.

The crazy cool image above was done by Sideburn004. If you like the work and effort they’ve put above, I definitely suggest you go and check out their other awesome work. So were you able to find the unique thing about this image yet? If you have, be sure to comment.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi is probably one of my favourite characters within Bleach, due to the fact that he’s such a badass that does whatever he wants to do. He is also a very mysterious character whose meaning and understanding would probably go beyond anyone. Furthermore his Bankai of a baby makes him such an awesome irony to how a strong-willed Captain has a baby for a Bankai.

The awesome image above was done by Marzie-sama who had entered this image of Mayuri in the Anikon Russia 2013 but unfortunately didn’t win. I obviously like the image, that’s why I’m featuring it. If you like this work, I suggest you go and check out her other work.

Bleach 546 gets absolutely crazy! We see a lot ahead thinking by Shunsui and what he’s thought are, however I still suspect he’s doing something dodgy here. Out of nowhere we see Seireitei and most of it’s citizen disappear while some like Akon stay. Juha Bach explains that after 9 days he will take over the world, which seems to have come true.

Bleach 546 begins as Keigo takes what Shunsui has just said as a joke, however his face also tells another story that he must be kidding by what he’s just said. He faces Shunsui mentioning that he almost got him with his twisted sense of humour. Shunsui mentions that he’s not in the mood to mess around.

Keigo asks how he can speak of Ichigo and him parting away from them so calmly. Keigo mentions that he’s acting like it’s got nothing to do with him, he just needs him to clear up another mess they’re in. Shunsui mentions that he’s right. Ichigo has saved them many times before and he’s the shield.

Mizuiro asks what that has to do with his permanent parting, Shunsui mentions that he’s currently at a very important place in Soul Society to which he’s going to stay there until he returns. The conclusion of what his training there is what concerns him, as he may find a new power which will be dependant on where he can be. Depending on the power, he may have adverse effects in the human world, if this is the case then they can’t allow him to ever step foot into the Human World.

Keigo grabs his collar mentioning that this would be perfect for them, especially since Ichigo will now be closer to them, this time they’ll even be able to keep watch over him as well as order him around. Shunsui mentions that if this is what is required, then he will not back down. Mizuiro mentions that this could happen and at the same time I has a chance of not happening.

He asks what the odds are, one in ten thousand or lower, Shunsui mentions that the odds in which he’s speaking off are astronomical, if it’s such a long shot then why would he bother telling them Tatsuki asks. Shunsui mentions that keeping Ichigo’s friends in the dark about the possibility would be doing him a disservice. He brings out three passes which is described to them to allow them access into Soul Society. He also mentions that he’s given them to Ichigo’s family, which we haven’t yet seen.

Shunsui mentions that there is no need to make such a face, as when Ichigo returns, he will send him straight to Human World for him to wind down and chill which is most likely the best thing for him. All three of them seem to be a little worried. In Hueco Mundo, Orihime and Chad are going around, he asks her if she needs a breath, she mentions that the surrounding is so peaceful and serene.

Chad is surprised mentioning that they’re in a war and that they should do their job. However Orihime mentions that she just wants to help, and that they should all help each other with no war breaking out. In Seireitei, out of nowhere a black and strange thing appears and seems to be covering most of Seireitei, it gets larger and larger when we notice the whole world has changed into the Quincy’s world!

And on top of this are Juha Bach, Haswalth and Uryu. People notice how crazy this is, don’t know even know what’s happening. At the Research labs, Akon notices how Seireitei has completely vanished into thin air. Juha Bach mentions that their invasion was a success, he then asks if he’s familiar with his Kaiser Gesang.

He mentions that it’s when the Sealed King of the Quincy whose heart began beating again after nine centuries, whose reason and intelligence followed nine decades later and whose strength came back after nine years after that. Juha Bach mentions that there is something missing from the end, he repeats it and mentions that the King finally conquered the world nine days later! He mentions that from today and nine days later, he will have already taken the world. Bleach 546 ends here.

What a crazy chapter, and it’s all about to get down also, this is amazing! Can’t wait to see even more action from Kubo! This is going to be epic! However we’ll have to wait 5 weeks before getting more since Kubo is taking this break in order to set up how the Final Arc should really end. Can’t wait for the next Bleach 547 when it’s released!

Kubo Tite’s Bleach Manga gets some very disappointing news as the manga is going on a hiatus for 6 weeks. Bleach 546 from Jump Magazine 34 was released this week, from Jump Magazine 35 to 40, there will be no Bleach Manga chapters until Jump 41, which is said to release on the 9th of September!

Kubo Tite writes a message to all fans telling them that Bleach is going on a hiatus from Jump 35 to 40, and beginning again on Jump 41. The reason for this he mentions is that before the last battles and finale, he wants to approach the final battle fully charged to give the final battles his absolute all. He tells all fans to prepares themselves for the final arc, “Thousand Year Blood War” to end with a big bang during the finale.

A small mention to other news sources who are mentioning 5 weeks, Jump 35 to 40 is 6 weeks. I understand that Jump is released weekly and that Bleach will be back on the 41st . I could be wrong, if I am, please do comment telling me.

So what do you think about this horrendous news? Do you guys think it’s a good idea for Kubo to prepare for Bleach’s final battle, or do you want Kubo to never stop. Personally I understand that there’s still many enemies left thus it’s most likely to be a large arc.

I’ve found this awesome silhouette image of the Strawberry himself, Ichigo Kurosaki. The cruel and awesome attitude which Ichigo has on his face seems like the one he will take to war during the latest Thousand Year Blood War Arc. He seems to be the one to fight against the King of the Quincy’s, Juha Bach as well as Uryu Ishida and Jugram Hashwalth.

The artist Allmanette, has also created three other ones with similar silhouette styled Bleach related characters which are pretty awesome, shown below. If you  like the work you see, I’m sure you’ll like her other work which covers both photography to pencil and paper drawings of Bleach fan art.

This simple yet effective image of Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida says a lot about the future of Bleach. We already know that Ichigo is part of Soul Society and has already begun training himself in order to improve, and that Uryu is now up for the role as the next leader of the Quincy. Could this pose a question that both Ichigo and Uryu will go on a head to head match against each other, I certainly think so, what do you think?

The awesome artwork above was done by Antonio1495 who’s done a great job. If you like the above image by them, I think you’ll like their other work. It’s mostly based on Bleach which is just awesome. If you like the above image, drop a comment and a like.

Ichigo Kurosaki goes in and out from his Inner World, every time he goes in, he comes out a changed man. Every time he talks to Zangetsu, or now known as a younger Juha Bach as well as Hollow Ichigo, he either gains a newer and better power which he’ll be able to defeat his opponent, from his fight against Zaraki to his upcoming battle against the Quincies. He’ll always be with his companions in his inner world!

The incredible image above was done by SilverCore94 who’s done an incredible job of showing us this cool moment. If you like the above image, you should go and check out his profile, he’s got a ton of great and amazing artwork based on a lot of amazing anime’s, definitely worth a check.

The first and best fight in which Ichigo Kurosaki had was his fight towards Zaraki Kenpachi, one of the strongest and best captains within the Gotei 13. Ichigo and Zaraki had a pretty great fight, they fought but Zaraki clearly won, however Ichigo was contacted by who he knows as Zangetsu, we know his as Juha Bach, a much younger version. He powered up and somehow defeated Zaraki with all his power.

The fight was amazing, I could watch it over and over again. If you like the above image, I suggest you go and check out the artist, Antonio1495. If you could also comment and tell us your favourite fight which has both Zaraki and Ichigo. Comment and like.
