Yes, MS made a comment on it. Apparently it was a Kubo error not a translation error LOL

Hollow as "strong" as the grand fisher dont exactly pop around often. Then theres the fact that his wife probably knew that running the fuck away from giant monsters was a good idea.
Basically Isshin hadnt counted on:
A) the grand fisher's decoy ability
B) Ichigo falling into said trap since the mother would have known the "ghost kid" in danger was already dead and as such couldnt get hurt.
There's also the fact that he had a RL job and eventually he was bound to stop being paranoid and trying to sense hollows everywhere. There's even a Shinigami watching over the town so even more reason to be relaxed. It's also possible to sabotage shinigami intelligence etc as shown by mayuri capturing the quincy. Aizen's shikai alone can ensure that any hollow specifically sent by Aizen will be unnoticed if you thikn the "just as planned" line was true.
Also consider how bleach started out. Isshin probably had something limiting him all this time such as a gigai that you cant take off for x amount of time if the damage taken wasn't just an act. Keep in mind Ichigo had never actually seen an actual hollow before chapter one which indicates that Isshin was probably killing most of them before they got anywhere close to prevent anything happening a second time.

I fucking love you Isshin.

**Tymon** · 2010-03-31 19:58

So like some people said already Isshin is a Quincy and a Shinigami hybrid

He didn't flip Aizen off, as nice as that is, he was actually releasing the string of his bow, that also serves as his sword

Aizen was blown away by whatever attack he used with his bowswordthing

...Nah, let's just stick with the finger.

edit: also it's pretty obvious the big revelation about Ichigo is that he's a human/shinigami hybrid, since he says "the answer is right in front of me"

what's in front of him.. Isshin, his dad, and a shinigami.

Anyone know if a full version of this showed up on any OST?
I've been wanting to hear the rest of that music (if there is any more) since that ep aired.

**Maguspk** · 2010-03-31 21:18

I like the idea of half-aizen.

The 'no, I headbutted you.' line was fucking perfect. Also, extremely excited to see Gin go bankai, he's one of the few I have always been curious about.

Close 2nd to Zaraki. Just can't match that guy's awesomeness.

**Khajit** · 2010-03-31 23:07

He just bitchslapped aizen through a wall(or 5) with his middle finger.
For right now at this moment until Kubo screws something up he has beaten Kenpachi too.

**KuroTsuki** · 2010-03-31 23:07

The way Aizen says "Because you are a Shinigami and a-" in chapter 397 page 18 sounds like the 2nd part is the 'special' part. 'Human' just doesn't sound that special. We all could've guessed he's human. The way he words it sounds like he was gonna say something else like Hollow or Quincy even like someone mentioned.

...but then this chapter happened lol. Now it's human and something else, so bleh.

still not up to zaraki, seeing as they flat out say after an episode "if zaraki knew his sword's name there would be no more soul society".

either way, bitchin chapter for once, i'm actually excited for next week.

**kuronosan** · 2010-03-31 23:34

Yea, gotta say that I've felt really refreshed about this week's chapter and future chapters.

Just as long as Isshin doesn't die, get his ass whooped, or Aizen has another Just-As-Planned moment.

Well Aizen's already said he knew where Ichigo's dad and even told Isshin it took him long enough...pretty obvious he at least thinks he can fight him and win....why else would you plan something for 10+ years and not take into consideration the strongest players? lol

sure didn't come off that way seeing Isshin flicked him like a booger.

He need to team up with Urahara and Kenpenchi. The manga would be badass with these 3.

**Sqwunk** · 2010-04-01 00:32

I gotta say, one of the few things I really missed from the early early episodes of Bleach, was the comedic relief between Ichigo and Isshin. This was really pleasing to read.

Here's the MS translation clarification page mentioned above earlier. The way I see it, Kubo gave us an epic chapter, but just couldn't release it unless it had some form of trolling, so he swapped Shinigami with Human.

which episode was this?

**Xno Kappa** · 2010-04-01 01:09

I guess we'll have to wait for Kubo to confirm what he meant since it's impossible at the moment to tell which is the proper translation since the mistranslation came from Jump itself. Going with he meant Human/Shinigami myself since Ichigo stated the answer was right in front of him, Isshin. Loved this chapter, hasn't been said enough but Isshin is a fucking boss. The headbutt line is one of the single best comments of the entire series.

Re-reading through the first couple of chapters of the manga I noticed Isshin got his ass-whooped by the very first hollow to attack in the series. Then Rukia supposedly erases his memory of the event. Which leads me to believe, Isshin's power must have been completely restored at one point after the SS arc instead of it gradually returning after Masaki's death. A weakened Isshin shouldn't have had an issue with a low-class Hollow, Chad was able to fight one off when he couldn't even see it in the beginning ffs. How or what caused Isshin to regain his powers back so suddenly will be interesting to find out if Kubo ever goes through his back-story.
