well who couldnt have guess he was going to shoot Ceros with his gun?
thats not some twist. of course he's not going to shoot bullets.

[Drex]

It's a shame they've already established how useless ceros are, now that a lieutenant can take one point blank in the face without even a scratch or burn mark

Obviously his will be more powerful, since he's a #1 and the lieutenants haven't been fighting espadas, but their fraccion, meaning the power difference in a cero will also be different.

At least we get to see a dual Bankai soon. :D

[Guitarman]

Hmm... A young girl that turns into someone's weapon. I wonder where i've heard that theory before?

[Eratosthenes]

Following the pattern of everyone being matched up against someone almost exactly like them, I bet Shunsui's bankai is gun-like.

Or a bullet-proof vest.

Some more details:

Spoiler: show

Shunsui uses two different attacks... one is a wind-based attack that clouds the vision... the other is a slashing attack.
Stark's ceros are named "Cero Metralleta", which means Cero Submachine Gun.
Ukitake jumps in at the end and deflects/blocks them with his Zanpakuto.
Ukitake then ends the chapter by firing a cero-like attack.
Oh, and Lilinette can still talk (Stark's main gun).

Oh Kubo, you've been watching Soul Eater a lot haven't you.
Weapons can talk to their Meisers when they are in weapon form too...
This is such a rip of Death the Kid and his dual guns, the Thompson Sisters: Patti and Liz.

Now I get it, Kubo's become a big fan of that series

wanna bet she looks naked and like a normal girl w/ a black backdrop :O?

[Souj]

I dont think people have made references to Soul Eater enough. It's only been mentioned about 10 or so times so far.

Yeah but the thing is the more stuff that comes out, the more we find similarities to Soul Eater...that's why it is being mentioned a lot. It was bad enough that Lynette turns into a gun, but the fact that she's talking to him just seems more and more of a rip from Soul Eater

I will do nothing but laugh..
And for those who don't know what we are talking about:

Aren't you guys kinda picking at straws? In all honesty, Bleach came out first with the whole "shinigami from a society/school who utilize a spirit-zanpaktou/weapon partner against the common enemy of hollows/witches," concept. There's bound to be a few obvious similarities along the road as stories progress.

And what else would Stark have shot from his guns? We all complained when Kubo was pulling out predictable bullshit out his ass but this actually makes sense for once. The past 2-3 chapters have been pretty decent. Lets not forget what real "Cut my arm and leg off too!" retardedness is.

Soul Eater and such didn't exactly invent talking weapons, either. Artists are thieves. End of story. More bitching for the sake of bitching, I guess.

Well no idea is 100% original these days, I just find the blatant obviousness extremely funny.

[arus2001]

Well, do we know the actual transition time from Kubo to manga? Some people make it sound like he's writing/drawing barely a week ahead of release, while I wouldn't be surprised if there's a good month or two of buffer on issues. Plus you get the JP holidays every other week that would give a bit more time to do whatever.

I eagerly await the arrival of Espada Negative One, Wonderweiss
