I dun think it'll be ending all that soon.Where's Urahara and the restttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!

Ok, Aizen is merged with the Hougyoku and he says that all of Ichigo's meeting with different people and battles with Byakuya, Grimmjow and Ulquiora, are all part of his plan and apparently he still knew that Ichigo achieved a new hollow form, also meaning that Ulquiorra's form is not a secret from him as Ulquiorra states.

Oh, and I get the reiatsu thing being able to cut Aizen. The difference in their reiatsu should have been great considering Aizen, but who knows, he might just be holding back.

I still don't get what the Hougyoku's powers are, aside from removing the so called "boundaries" of both Hollow and Shinigami.

Apparently it can regenerate the owner,at the very least.

According to Aizen though, that's not regeneration. .sweat.

So, it's just a means of protecting its master as Aizen said.

final battle of the arc, not final battle of bleach...
this means there is going to be another arc. which i guess aizen and gin will escape together or managed to send soul society into their doom. Can't see any other enemies beside the two of them if there is going to be another arc.

regarding aizen, he apparently still has his shinigami pride for not becoming an arrancar with the hougyoku. he must have discovered more use to it than urahara would think imo.

That's the Hougyoku taking care of its owner? .sweat.

If not then why Urahara was not keeping it himself? instead of hiding it in rukia's gigai. It would be much safer if he keeps it in his body right?

Who knows what side-effects there could be for having it. SInce this arc is basically done, that means the anime will be done fillers, and some Ichigo - Ulquiorra action to begin! .wow.

what chapter is bleach now??

It's currently at chapter 396.
The anime is at episode 262.

I think I'm gonna miss some new chapters and new episodes(anime).... . but don't worry. As I came back from school, I'll quickly search for updated chapters!

Watch this week's Bleach anime.It's stupid,but i laughed a lot while watching it. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

EDIT:KUROSAKI ISSHIN IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAHAHAHAHA!! Papa Isshin has come out! Time to whoop Aizen's sorry ass, LOL or maybe not. I wonder what else is Ichigo as Isshin interrupted Aizen when he was about to reveal another thing.

Any takers on Isshin having a hollow mask?He knows Urahara,after all.

I don't think he has a hollow mask. He wasn't apart of Aizen's hollowfication, Urahara only knew how to cure it, correct me if I'm wrong. The "cure" wasn't 100%, which lead to the Vaizards having the masks in the first place.

Hmmmm....But how strong is Isshin?

I'd take it that he's an equal or slighty lower than Aizen's strength. Can't wait for next week's chapter!

Ma-heh-an,i can't wait to see his shikai!Or even better go straight into bankai! =DD

You talk too much Aizen!!! (Kurosaki Isshin) = Winner

is ichigo's father maybe a past captain? cause he got that white piece of cloth hanging on his shoulder o.0

Yep, he is a past Captain. Some say his zanpakutou is similar to Aizen's, by the looks of the hilt, sheath, and haori.

There has been a large speculation on him ever since his first appearance in the shinigami haori.

Rumours say he's part of the Zero division, that he's part of the Shiba family. (Resemblances to Ganju, and Karin to Kukkaku), also Ichigo looks exactly like Kaien, but orange hair.
If you forget who Ganju and Kukkaku are, they are the ones that helped Ichigo and crew at the beginning of the Soul Society invasion.

Wa Isshin is that awesome .omg. can't wait for the next chapter

there is a zero division? o.0 Does that means that division is higher ranking than the first division?

Zero division is the division that protects the royal family in Soul Society,or so i heard.Anyways,Isshin must be at the very least captain class or above.He could be as strong as Yamamoto! LOL

nice...maybe hes gonna team up with ichigo and kick aizen's ass .clap.
