Anyone still keeping up with Bleach?

So far, Captain Commander and Byakuya are dead, along with a ton of others. Good to see Ichigo finally in the battle. I'm eager to see though just how many people will remain dead. Also was a treat to see that Aizen wanted nothing to do with the quincy's. And I wonder will Ishida and his dad will make an appearance. Very good and tense times for Bleach

Naruto seems to be wrapping up. I wonder how much longer this fight will go on.

I do not think Naruto will finish once the current arc is over. I have nothing to base this theory on it's just what I hope. There is so much history left that they can explore and I've been reading Naruto for years so I don't want it to end any time soon. :rofl:

Yeah, I'm keeping up with the Bleach manga. Juicy so far with all the deaths, Kenpachi's gotta make a surprise comeback :laugh: :shifty:

Spoilers from recent manga chapters below..

Kenpachi is already dead or severely wounded. A few chapters back he attacked the head quicy guy directly and it didn't go well.

And holy ****, so now Ichigo has quincy powers? How'd that happen.

I've already read that chapter, hence why I said he should make a surprise comeback; he shouldn't die so easily.

Pirate Asuka FTW and I see new characters apart from Mari (love her cheeky smirk :D ); her EVA looks pretty sweet too (Y)

Oh god, it's gonna be a long wait for this to arrive here on the big screen and even longer on DVD/Blu-ray :pinch:

Yeah :laugh:

In the most recent chapter it was confirmed that he didn't die. After all he's been stabbed clean through by Ichigo and cut to pieces who knows how many times. I think we'll finally seem him make peace with his zanpakuto and learn his bankai while he is "out of comission". Then we'll see an entire new level of Kenpachi wrecking faces.

It has to happen. Next to the Captain Commander's his is the most anticipated bankai we haven't seen yet.

Hope so (Y)

I personally want to see Zero Division in action, I wonder how that will affect the Gotei 13. Also, who is taking over from Yamamoto? And what is Ichigo going to do about his broken Tensa Zangetsu? Is he also going to train under the Quincies as well? Ah, Bleach!!! Epicness!!!!!

Basing this on no facts what so ever but Ishida repaired his broken bow using fancy quincy wizardry. I'm sure we'll see something similar with Ichigo. Although I'm kind of disappointed because he literally just got his powers back and in his first real fight his sword is destroyed...again.

I agree, and I also would like to see him train more under both Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu and learn a few more tricks/attacks. I like the potential the manga has. The way Yamamoto was taken out was incredible, in spite of his impressive bankai. I think all the main plot characters are going to train like mad for the battles/skirmishes that are to come. The differences in abilities was shown. That bankai stealer is a game changer, meaning that the Gotei 13 need to polish up their Shikai skills....... my thoughts....

Oh, that scene - sword being broken - reminded me of the Aizen Arc when Aizen was about to say something about Ichigo's origins. Just when his Dad made an appearance. He was shaken, and his attacks were meaningless. I think the same happened here, he was rattled by what Bach said.

And then there is still the question of if he has his hallow powers or not. So he'll be a shinigami hallow quincy perhaps? It'll be interesting to see how this all works out.

Shinigami quincy would work for me, anything that is not the getsuga tenshou.... I am kinda hoping Ichigo will learn a few new things.

You.... Yes you... Change your avatar pic!!! I thought I posted what you did for a good minute :p

This is some epic times for Bleach. Zero Division coming out... Can't wait for next weeks. I also had a feeling that Ichigo's Mom was a Quincy. Makes perfect sense as to why his Dad had to hide, and why the King Fisher attacked her. Normally hallows don't go after normal humans :p

To be honest I thought he was you for a second until I noticed the post count. :rofl:

I might be remembering this incorrectly but didn't Ishida lose his quincy powers (not just a broken bow), only to regain them via the "fancy quincy wizardry" from his father? Or are you talking about some other time that I don't remember?

If it's the first thing I mentioned then that would be the equivalent of when Ichigo lost his powers and they used that sword imbued with the powers of all the captains (and more) to return Ichigo's powers. Though I am interested in how Ichigo is going to awaken his quincy powers......he will almost have to get Ishida to train him and once he masters his quincy side he would be extremely versatile in combat, as both a shinigami and quincy.

You're probably right but my point is that he restored his powers by that fancy quincy wizardy so I assume they'll use a similar process for ichigos sword.

Also, I'm certain they haven't shown us the extent of his new powers to begin with. The whole situation just seems kind of odd. When he lost his powers he was all emo about not being able to protect anyone but this time with his broken sword he doesn't seem the least bit concerned.

Actually, you are onto something with that. I had not noticed. Unless he is simply overlaying his worry with a thin veneer of "I do not give a damn".

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
