Filler? I don't even know 'er! aka the fuck-Bleach [SPOILERS] megathread! - Page 29

It does have a power - Ichigo gets a fine pimpcoat whenever he goes bankai.

Yeam, seriously. What's the point of giving Ichigo the least visually impressive power, then showing off how cool a compressed, extremespeed bankai can be, and then having almost his very next opponent laugh at him for having such a "minor" increase in speed?

It just makes Ichigo look even lamer.

At first there was an explanation for this... Clearly Ichigo is "Special" and unique. He HAS a ton of power untapped within. And he went from normal human to Captain-Level Shinigami in less than a year. While a true captain takes at least 100 years to reach that level.

So, at first his Bankai was just a "Boost" that would allow him to fight around the same level as the Captains, who STILL surpass him in power when they go all out... and that worked fine. Then, when there was enemies that would surpass him, he got the mask. With the mask, he can Fight in the same level as a Captain going All out (Which was shown as necessary to fight the stronger Espada).

Now, he has energy beyond that of a captain that he can't manage yet and a powerful new mask that he can't control yet. Once he does, he should be around The Elite level. (in this Case, probably the 0 Squad and Aizen )

The thing is... if you kill off all the fillers and the movies, Ichigo's Power Surge is steady and balanced. Silly, but consistent. Bring in the Fillers, and Ichigo becomes really... bland. Power-Wise.

Hm... That makes sense.

So basically, Ichigo's "real" power is his absolutely insane amount of spiritual power to tap (explains why Rukia was so shocked by his energy levels, despite having... you know, Byakuya for a brother), so he just keeps getting powerups to use more and more power stably.

Of course, every time this happens, Aizen shows up and goes "lol I win" and wins.

The thing is... if you think about it... Aizen is what Ichigo would become if he trained properly. And also evil.

Aizen has no "tricks" aside from his Zanpakuto. He is just, simply, really really freaking powerful. So he keeps outmatching people...

My guess is that whatever the reason Aizen has to be hyper strong is the same for Ichigo. Which opens a can of worms with the chance of the two of them being related.

Now, we had Hueco Mundo and Soul Society shown. Nobody showed Hell yet, but it's stabilished that it exists. My guess here is that in the next few chapters, the Zero Squad shows up and Aizen and Gin finally retreat, and from then on Hell is the next destination

We still haven't stabilished Vastro Lordes yet, so Aizen is likely to get a pretty little Army for the next Arc of the story...

Somehow this makes me think that Aizen is actually Satan and now he has to deal with the Chosen One (Ichigo), so Aizen/Satan's gonna call in the reserves (Legions of Hell) and then they'll finally have an epic battle in ~~Megiddo~~ real Karakura Town where all of Ichigo's compatriots will battle the followers of Aizen and usher in a golden age.

What just happened here?

So... apparently Wonderweiss' entire purpose was to nullify Yamamoto's shikai.

Seriously Aizen's almost anime's Batman when it comes to prep time. He'll pull out a Kenpachi repellant spray next or something.

Like I said on my Twitter: shit just got real.

Aerozord · 02-25-2010, 03:04 PM

still he was pretty stupid, instead of a macho monologue he should have just stabbed him in the head.
