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

[Kyanbu The Legend]

New Chapter:

That fight Between Uryu and Haschwalth was so awesome, SO AWESOME, that we never got to see it. Yup the entire fight, off panal. But hey we might get to see round two. Also Gerald will not die, he just won't... But Shinji might have a say in the matter. A Bankai that might be strong enough to reverse abstract concepts. Could that be our answer?

Also Ichigo is about to square off against the big man himself. Ywach, and Orihime will be on White Mage/Barrier Maiden duty. The ultimate attack and defense... yeah she's going to get Dende'd...

[phil_]

I was like, "Finally, the viking is a proper Big Scary Monster™," and then instead of that we cut to dead Uryu and Orihime moments before she takes a laser beam to the heart to re-establish Ywach as a threat (as you said).

My money's on Gerald being defeated in an unexplained "somehow" mentioned off-hand when all the remaining captains have to gather for the climax to power up Ichigo. Side bet is on Kubo never coming back to it and just hoping we'll forget.

On the plus side, no way we're going to skip getsuga tensho spam, so hopefully Ywach's freaky spilled-ink-on-the-page powers will look cool.

To be fair Ichigo does have two swords now so maybe his powers are more interesting. (In all likelihood he probably just throws crossed shaped energy blobs or some other boring thing.)

[phil_]

Jugram just launched a cross-shaped energy blob from his swordbow. Luckily, there's a whole world of geometric shapes to launch out of sword swings. Maybe Ichigo will throw squares or something more exotic like rhombuses.

[Aerozord]

Why, why did you think that would work? You already removed his head like that, it was what you did right before you learned about his power. What was the logic behind this?

Oh and my bet is Orihime is either immediately side-lined or something forces her to go and do her own thing. She wont really be involved unless its to deus ex machina a win at the end.

Upside though, I give props for the fake-out of him getting sliced. Its not like I thought it would have killed him but I did believe for a moment Ichigo hit him. I might be reading too much into it but since the nightmare woke him up and they were right outside the door I'm guessing he saw the future that would have been if he wasn't woken up.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Yeah, it's either that, a lamp shade of how this is going to end, and or a hint that Ywach may not be the last fight since Aizen is still running around and is still kind of a prick. And Uryu might not beat Haschwalth.

[Sithdarth]

We got to go back to the interesting fight for second but only to basically Worf the god mode Quincy in order to make sure everyone knows just how badass Ichigo has become. I mean seriously that far away facing down an unkillable monster that does nothing but get stronger and Ichigo's spiritual pressure is still strong enough to make everyone stop and admire his shear awesomeness.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Indeed, probably a sign that Gerald is going to be defeated soon. Possibly off screen.

[Aerozord]

I dont really get the entire "I am your father" thing. Even Ichigo is like "uh... no". Just feels so out of place. I was fine when it was the symbolic, I am the father of all quincy thing, but he is so insistent on it for some reason.

[Arcanum]

Man for a moment there I was worried we would only have 3 fights happening at the same time. The number of concurrent characters involved in the action was dropping dangerously low. Good thing Team Dad is here to bump that up a bit. Can't have Bleach focus on a single thing for too long otherwise it might be too obvious that Kubo is making this up as he goes along.
