Filler? I don't even know 'er! aka the fuck-Bleach [SPOILERS] megathread!

Although if anything, I think that kind of Bankai would have been perfect for Soifon since it has such potential for assassinations, and killing without being seen.

I suppose it wouldn't be bad, since she has the speed to bitch off after the attack. Also, the thing about the length is that 13km is hardly necessary. It may as well just fire projectiles. All of that length is going to waste. As a sword, it has few actual uses.

was it that kanji though? Because while zan might mean cutting and getsu mean moon, zangetsu is the moon in early morning.

I think it's usually translated as "moon-cutter."

dont forget Love's who we see release it but not what it does.

We saw Love's Bankai? All I remember is the giant club, which I'm pretty sure is the Shikai. It shot fire, but even if it didn't, not all Zanpakuto have special effects. Granted, they're the exception to the rule, but I still find it odd that people act like they're guaranteed.

got the wrong name, but check ch 377, starting at page 3.

On another note, this chapter does have potential to be awesome. I mean he is showing personification of power and character developement through use of a mindscape. Does it well and it will be one of the best things I've ever read. Done poorly and its just a giant cop-out. I've come to expect both from Kubo

The one who rescued Mashiro? 'Cause if so, it's wind control.

[Aerozord]

what makes you say that? they cut away immediately

[Arcanum]

Well they translated it as Iron Fist Cutting Wind, but then the guy is never mentioned or shown ever again. Looks like Kubo forgot about a loose end.

[Lithp]

He used it in the Turn Back the Pendulum Arc, that's why.

If I had to peg the biggest problem with the Fake Karakura Town Arc, that's it. We're just meant to assume that a lot of these characters are out-of-comission. We're never really shown what's going on with Unohona, the Visoreds fighting Wonderweiss, etc.

Maybe he's trying to set up a Big Damn Heroes moment later on? He IS very fond of that Trope. I don't know.

I also love that he builds up this whole "Rangiku is going to go confront Gin yeah!" thing at the end of at least one chapter, and then Aizen and Gin just leave Fake Karakura, and it's like "Whelp. Guess that didn't go anywhere."

[Lithp]

It didn't necessarily not go anywhere. In fact, we don't even know what she was planning.

It spells out that she was going to "confront" Gin. That can't happen now unless she gets to real Karakura. She technically can get to Karakura, but that has its own problem. They're going to have to drag things out forever before she can show up. She can't show up sooner than an hour in manga time, because for it to be a dramatic "She showed up!" she can't cross paths with other characters, which means she can't go through the portal to real Karakura until after Ichigo finishes his training. So, all the time where characters fight Aizen until Ichigo comes out plus all the time Ichigo spends fighting Gin, and that's just to get a confrontation between Rangiku and Gin. I don't see this happening. More likely is the cop-out that Ichigo kills Gin, and Rangiku shows up as he's dying for his "I'm dying its time for a dramatic flashback" moment so it can be even more dramatic. So. Yes. It can go somewhere. Just nowhere good.

Hey look Kubo chose option C, "She opened it before Ichigo and Isshin."

Also, I'm counting this as a prediction and you are officially a prophet.
