Yea, I was just about to post that too. The big monster with Wonderweiss is the same one from the end of the SS arc.

Finally we cant stop wondering what the hell that thingy was

[TummieGaruda]

There are a lot of theories that are floating around about what is actually going on right now. If you look at the past few fights, Hitsu and Soifon had to use their Bankai's in order to win their battles. What makes this interesting is that Stark has the ability to analyze his enemys abilities, and so it would seem that the Espada are there to force the captains to use their Bankai so that Stark can witness/view them and understand them. This is why when Shunsui says that he wants to use his Bankai, Ukitake tells him not to. This is so Stark cannot learn how his Bankai works and I have a feeling that the information on all the captains Bankai's are being shared with Wonderwiess and he is going to be extremely intelligent.

Also some more information about Ukitake's ability

Spoiler: show

His two swords are connected by a chain, using the left sword, it absorbs an attack and flows thru the chain and exits out his right sword. You can think of it like a giant U shaped pipe where if anything enters in on the left side, it gets spit back out on the right side. If the chain that holds the swords together is broken, he cannot "reflect" attacks anymore.

youre assuming hallibel and barrigan are dead. I will guarantee they are not.
thats not to say you arent right about everything else, but I'd say Aizen probably already knows how all their bankais work, and your looking into it too much.
isnt that picture a bit too clean for a wednesday morning spoiler?

Not saying that Hallibel and Barrigan are dead, just that they forced Hitsu and Soifon to use their Bankai. Hitsu said that it was the first time that he used that ability in conjunction with his bankai in order to encase Hallibel in ice. Soifon said that she hates to use her bankai because it takes away from the element of surprise and that she stands out. I don't think Aizen knows much about everyones Bankai, he may know a little but not as much as he would know now after his espada forced many of the captains to use theirs.

Also that picture is not much of a fake, but rather a repost of an earlier chapter. The spoiler talks about a large black mass and most people are assuming that it is the same thing we saw back in chapter 178. The picture comes from that chapter.

[kuronosan]

I think Starrk is trying to analyze their bankai as well. It makes perfect sense... perhaps Aizen is really trying to gauge their abilities so that the Espada can bring out their true power. Soifon has used up all of her tricks (except for Shunko), Hitsugaya just used the last of his Bankai's power, and Shunsui and Ukitake are going toe-to-toe with Starrk.

With the addition of Wonderweiss and the giant menos, who knows what will go down next?

[Serif]

Sorry about posting that picture and confusing people. I just didn't want to show a picture and say that it had something to do with the spoiler.

I seriously don't know where he is going with this, I still don't believe the Vaizard will still show up yet.

Stark figuring out how all the things work is a good theory but he is far away from Hitsugaya and Soifon to see how their moves really work.

Will it be CC against the big guy or possibly WW? Too little bad guys for too many good guys right now. Unless big man brings some people with him, I don't see the Vaizards being involved soon.

[Koul]

Too little bad guys for too many good guys right now. Unless big man brings some people with him, I don't see the Vaizards being involved soon.

I wouldn't underestimate Kubos trolling abilities. For all we know he can introduce 10 secret arrancars/espada/new badguy term/stupid shit

or halibel will show us her secret move, obliterate hitsugaya and someone else. barragan will destroy soi fon. But then Orihime will show up with the other captains and VOILA~ hitsugaya/soi fon/whoever will be reversed back to life.

Orihime is like the dragon balls. Even if someone good dies, they'll be wished back.

Bleach 363: Superchunky from Hell

Continues from the last chapter where Ukitake fired something similar to a cero. Shunsui sees his friend joined the battle is about to say something but gets interrupted by Ukitake. He says Shunsui can’t complain because there are two opponents (Stark and Lilinette) so it’s not cheating for him (Ukitake) to join.

“More importantly, you were about to release bankai, right?” Asks Ukitake and Shunisui just laughed so he continues, “You better not. Your bankai shouldn’t be shown off in such place.” Shunsui goes quiet after his warning.

Ukitake turns his attention back to Stark and he asks if Ukitake really has fird a cero. Ukitake smiles and asks him to try again to find out. Stark fires it immediately ignoring Lilinette’s protest. But the result is the same, Ukitake fires something similar to cero back and forces him to dodge. But after tried again, he sees Ukitake’s left sword would absorb a cero then transfers to the right one. The tags hanging on the rope meant to increase the speed before the energy gets fire again. Stark says this is such a mean ability but instead of being angry Ukitake happily compliments Stark for being able to see right through everything after just three attacks. However Stark asks what would happen if he fires 1,000 shots at once. But before he does anything Shunsui appears from behind aiming to slid his neck off. Stark dodged and fires the gun at him but Shunsui escaped.

“I told you not to do anything out of character.”

“Don’t shove something like that to me.” Whines Shunsui, “If it’s out of my character then this doing things out of character is my character.”

“Huh, I knew it. You are the same as I.” Stark replies.

But before they could attack, the gigantic Garganta opened not far away from where they are fighting. The gate is so big that even Yamamoto’s fire wall (to lock Aizen, Gin and Tousen) looks small. Shunsui and Ukitake are surprised to see Wonderweiss and behind him is a shadow of some gigantic creature. Its head is small compares to its body and has one shiny eye. The only part they could see clearly is its hand. It (sort of) resembles a human’s one but its nails are of the Gillain masks.

Sounds like we're continuing to move no wheres, but at a pretty fast rate.

zomg wonderwiess can mimic bankais

[meeeeeep]

zomg wonderwiess can mimic bankais

The upsetting thing is I could probably see Kubo pulling something like that out of his ass.

he's cell, he can use all abilities that everyone else used as long as it was witnessed by the other espada.

Before the new chapter comes out, I thought it interesting to point out that this chapter parallels a chapter before:

Chapter 72: The Superchunk
Bleach 72 | Read bleach chapter 72 manga online | Manga Share

Someone from Bleach Asylum speculated that maybe this gigantic menos-thing is possibly the guardian of Hueco Mundo (and maybe why it saved Aizen before)?

[Souj]

how is it guarding HM in the fake Korroloko Tunnel Town?
and its a pretty bad guard just letting all those people into HM.

(it in no way parallels that axe guy and the scenarios that surround him. go to sleep!)

[Milkster]

Who are Wonderweiss and CC again? Its been a long time and I totally forgot who they were . And about that giant shadow also don't remember. Well I only watch the show could be why some of this is wooshing me.

[kuronosan]

Wonderweiss is the supposed vasto lorde arrancar that managed to sneak up on Urahara.

The giant shadow is the same one that was there when Aizen was saved at the end of the SS arc. The scene was also in the anime.

The link between Ch.72 and the new one is really the name and the fact that both "guardians" were massive.

[Eaglestrike]

My guess is it's just Yammy coming after destroying the rest of them with his powers of the ass.

[Maguspk]

Pretty sure we know nothing about Wonderweiss besides the fact that he appears really stupid and once managed to sneak up on Urahara. I liked this chapter, felt like a lot happened. Can't wait for next week's.
