The replacement villain for Aizen will be... Yammy...

He defeated Kenpachi and Byakuya off-screen.

Fuck You. Fuck you for me reading that.

Except when we get this new villain, who will be the supporting cast? Aizen beat everyone at once before he started evolving, and now he's done that like twelve times. Who is left besides Ichigo to stand up to whoever is the next threat?

Good god... He'd have to be city size by now...

Ichigo will most likely lose all or most of his powers for a brief time, if Isshin is anything to go by, after which he will most likely regain them by training really hard.

Aside from that, we've got several captains we haven't seen bankais for. We'll probably get some temp downtime for the weaker characters where-in Ichigo tries to get his powers back, Orihime and Chad train their powers to be stronger, and Rukia attempts to learn bankai. Plus, we've got this new power level Ichigo just learned that I expect other characters will either learn as well, or have some super-powered equivalent to.

If it's any consolation, Yammy won't be a long-term villain. Just a short-term mook while Kubo sets up either the next big bad or Aizen's return, and someone for the Captains to fight while everyone else trains.

So Team Why-The-Fuck-Are-We-Here will level up just enough to get their asses royally handed to them and still survive?

Wonder if you'll be able to set the next thirty chapters of this happening to "I'll Make A Man Out Of You".

[Kim]

Pretty much.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

You know I would love for them to not and up suck for a change next arc. Sadly that will not happen. And they may very well get killed off for good.

If you look at it from one perspective (which I call the Dragon Ball angle) once the next villain shows up it will be revealed that the crazy power level of the main character can be easily attained by everyone else (for example, after Goku killed Freiza, Mecha Freiza showed up and Trunks killed him in one shot, and shortly after that everyone and their mother went super sayin).

However if you look at it from a somewhat realistic angle (which I call the Never Happens Ever angle) then it's highly unlikely that everyone else will learn to do what Ichigo did, since many of the Captains are hundreds of years old and never stumbled across this whereas Ichigo did it in 3 months (although we don't know how long Isshin was working on figuring it out). And then there's also the possibility that only Getsuga is capable of this technique.

But yeah, the Dragon Ball angle is probably much more likely to happen.


Also, NonCon stop making predictions because every time you do they come true!

Told you man. Tite. Motherfuckin'. Kubo.

Just realized. If his hair stays black, he'll look even more like Kaien Shiba than he did before. Anyone wanna take bets on if Rukia will ANGST about it?
