I am wondering if there is something that transcends Bankai..... like super bankai........

I hope not. That'd be a little lame. And by a little, I mean really lame. I'm not a fan of the way shounen heroes reach some wall in their ability to get stronger, then all of the sudden, the mangaka just adds a new technique, and everything is better.

Bleach=Shounen Manga.

It is possible

Oh, I know. In fact, I'd say it's probable. Once Bleach enters volume 125, they'll probably have some Super neo-Bankai DX Unlimited.

Agreed. That would be just lame.

I don't want any power-ups anymore. Ichigo is already the strongest of the series. The idiot just can't use his power effectively. >.<

Sorry if this has been asked before somewhere, but can someone tell me why Soul Society has so many shady areas in Rukongai. To me it doesn't make sense to die and to face more hardships in a place where you can get killed again. It doesn't seem like such a great place to send a soul to rest to if you get stuck in the worse districts, like the ones Yachiru and Kenpachi came from.

simply put, SS ain't exactly heaven. anyone except for the most cruelest, twisted and sadistic ones ends up in SS. and i doubt those who were involved with criminal activities before would reform after death. not to mention, in a society full of individuals capable of independentt thoughts and seeks the better comforts of (the after-) life, you're bound to get some really bad eggs here and there....

This is probably popping up all over the place but... If anyone could answer it I'd feel really grateful, I've been having issues turning up anything on this other than alot of rants about how awesome it all is.

My question is... Is the cliff-hanger of chapter 315 really not going to be continued for 108 chapters? (Since we've gotten into this 'Turning Back the Pendulum' thing. And it seems to be counting down it's chapters. -108, -107, -106, -105, -104.) Is it really being put on a sort of 'hiatus'? Or 'break' so-to-speak until the flash back is over?

I mean, sure we all know the outcome of the fight between Ulquiorra and Ichigo (since Ulquiorra beat Ichigo in something around five seconds the last time they met two hours previous, so unless Ichigo pulls some new fancy power out of his Shinigami Uniform he's 'done like dinner.') I really want to know what happens between the captians & Aizen though. (As there are many things that could happen, Vizards, Yoruichi, Tatsuki & co. Ichigo's father, Urahara & co., and other random characters that could jump in and make things all the more intreguing.) So, the cliffhanger is sorta killin' me.

This flash back is incredably interesting thus far, don't get me wrong, I'm just wondering if we're seriously going to have to wait approximately 2 years before the series acctually carries on. (Since they usually release 1 chapter per week, and it appears to be counting down from 108 for the Turning Back the Pendulum flashback.)

(I wasn't sure whether or not to put it in spoilers, veiw at your own risk.)

God, I hope not. That'd drive me nuts. It's not probable, but it is, sadly enough, possible. Though I think that mass rioting would occur if that were to happen, which would probably force Tite Kubo to get back on track. Just saying. 😛

But, whne you consider that the last time there was a "special chapter" it was about Toshi and was called Special -15 (I think, something like that) it doesn't seem likely that it'll last that long. Looking at it while keeping the precedent in mind seems to indicate that the naming of special chapters is somewhat arbitrary. Personally, I'm assuming - and fervently wishing - that this set of special chapters will end with -100 (or something along those lines) and then the actual plot will start again. But that's all just personal opinion and wishes, and since - as far as I know - there's no official comment on it, I can't say anything more than that.

Not that we'd find out this week, anyway... darn holidays...

poof "SHOUJOMAN IS HERE!"
Just Lynz, drop the -ajw

I'm not sure that is what is really going to happen, but would it really matter? From the start of the HM arc up until this gaiden it was monotonous fight after fight with little to no plot in between. If he took 100+ chapters to flesh out the entire back-story, I for one wouldn't mind all that much. Yes, the fights are exciting, but they lose a good part of their impact if it's just one after another. I'm not so sure Bleach fans would riot if Tite took his time on this Gaiden, Heck the majority I've spoken with have been thrilled with getting some actual meaty plot.

That's true, I almost forgot about that one little flashback for Hitsugaya. I don't nessicarily want it to end at -100 (It is a really good back story) but I also don't want the 'main' arc of the story to just drop off into thin air for that long. I'd probably forget anything that happened in the previous more 'present day' setting if that happened.

Spanky151 has a point too, but again I'd at least like it to wrap up the Espada & Captian's fight just a tiny bit more before plunging off into something entirly different (again by the end of it if it is 100 or so chapters long I'd completly forget who the espada were). I can't do anything about it though. So I guess it doesn't really matter. I was just wondering so I don't go insane trying to figure it out on my own! XD But I agree, I don't think riots would happen since, let's be honest, everyone wants to see more of their favourite characters, and not just in random amazing fights, and that's more or less what Turning Back the Pendulum will provide (for everyone but me!) So naturally riots are very, very, very unlikly.

Well, the reason for the gaiden is obvious. Tite is clearly going to have the vaizards and Urahara play a role in the battle and right now is setting up their motive. It just wouldn't feel right if they showed up and started fighting without any frame of reference.

I agree with Spanky that I wouldn't mind if this flashback lasts for 2 years, but that's very unlikely. Seeing how they've already skipped from 110 to 101 years ago, 1 year before which I believe to be the 'core' -- the basis -- of everything that has happened in Bleach.

So they took 4-5 chapters or so to cover the 110 years ago, so I believe they'll also do that with the '101 years ago' short arc. And maybe Tite'll even skip to 100 years ago, and show with 4-5 chapters again how Urahara became exiled, and how Yoruichi helped him escape and fled with him.

I hate it though how Tite does that annoying habit of his of teasing us with bits of information. 😛 Since he mentioned the Royal Guard (Zero Division) and this Hikifune person without going deeper into it. ;-; And again I'll say this that Hikifune will be one of the strongest ones of the Royal Guard.

Did it really skip that much? I really didn't notice, I'm a bit slow it seems. Thanks for that! ^^

That's something I've always wondered about, the whole escape thing. It makes you wonder if Urahara sort of planned the whole exile thing (or was expecting it) since it's basically been established that you can't just magically warp yourself straight out of Soul Society. Hopefully we'll find out the details of what happened though.

But the fact that he brought that in, extremly shortly and without detail, means that it has to have some sort of signifigance to the plot, right? I mean he's not going to go "We have a Royal Guard for Soul Society! But! It's never going to show up. Ever. I just needed to put that captian somewhere so that Urahara wouldn't have beaten the tarr out of a former captian to reach his position as captian! So we don't need to go into details. I might as well have not brought it up at all, huh?"...And if he did then that's a rather horrible and cruel thing to do to the fans. But, in a sense, makes readers/watchers want to learn more about it, and at the same time learn about it's signifigance to the main extensive plot-line.(So it keeps readers/watchers from drifting away from the series)

Mainly, I guess I'm just hoping that if/when anything happens with the Royal Guard that they really are 'better' (as that's how it sounded they were) and that five chapters later no one else is magically at their level of expertise unless they were there to begin with. (Like with the Bankai thing, everyone who mattered to the plot just sort of had it, magically, after the rescue in Soul Society.(Sure they may have been pressured to train because of the Aizen thing, but when it was first introduced I got the impression that it was only to be used in extreme situations or if desperatly needed since it was supposed to take up more reiatsu. But everyone seems to just use it all the time now, it's almost annoying.)

What is this?

Have we ever gotten an answer?

No.

Kubo's a ****tease.

Now I'm wondering if you went through all those chapters to look for this...o_o

I'm pretty sure they answered what that is in the anime. I'm too lazy to look into it now though. But I may be wrong since I haven't seen the anime in like a year.

Fillers are non-canon, so not relevant (usually). Trivia like how Kuukaku is older than Urahara is true, and appeared in fillers-only.
