The presence of Zaraki already show us it's just will be popularity contestOriginally Posted by Scythiroth
I havent read the manga, but I would think it would be Hitsugaya vs Gin since the match from last time in the soul society was kinda unfinished.
I fucking lol'd. Hard.Originally Posted by Souj
Zaraki is Ichigo's static opponent so I find it fitting that he came.Originally Posted by Kaylia
I personally want to see shunsui and ukitake own some shit. but it'll probably be Hitsugaya,ikaku, and rangiku.
What chapter would the last anime episode have been? All this talk of filler is making me nervous so I'm going to just start reading the manga lol.
Zaraki is awesome and a badass, and hasn't exactly had the most amount of fights. Also closely tied with Ichigo, etc etc.Originally Posted by Kaylia
I think Mayuri, Ukitake, or Shunsui would be good appearances.
As much as I like Byakuya and Hitsugaya, they're becoming "the guys that show up late to help" or something like that (and watching the anime only makes that seem worse).
Zaraki is Ichigo's total opposite - someone with immense reiatsu but no ability to control it or sense it. Unlike Ichigo, however, Zaraki never realized that you have to rely on your zanpakuto equally and treat it with respect or you will never get stronger. Ichigo realized this during their fight - that Zangetsu was more than just a tool... he was a soul with his own feelings as well.
I can easily see it going like this (grah, DBZ style):
shikai Ichigo < Zaraki 1/2 power, with bells, eyepatch, holding back
2nd shikai Ichigo = Zaraki 1/2 power, eyepatch, holding back
true shikai Ichigo = Zaraki, full power, injured
Then...
Bankai Ichigo > Zaraki full power in speed only (that we know of)
Hollow Bankai Ichigo >> Byakuya
Bankai Ichigo > Bankai Byakuya holding back in speed only
Bankai Ichigo < Full Power Bankai Byakuya
So...
If Zaraki obtained true shikai, it's possible his shikai with his self-imposed limits would be equal to Ichigo's Bankai, if not slightly stronger (but slower, obviously). With no limits, at his full power, he's probably just as strong as Byakuya's Bankai. This is just raw power, though... when you think about it - Byakuya would probably own Zaraki hard with his Bankai simply because Zaraki would be stupid enough to let himself be hit by it.
OOH. Idea - Byakuya vs. Kenpachi - The 20-minute-holding-back-staredown-lecture-of-power! (Episode 204)
http://www.dattebayo.com/t/b146.torrent go get it i acutally got this one right after it came out yes yes i know nothing better to do lol
needs more unohana fuckowning things
Uh wtf is Shikai?
It's obvious Zaraki has gotten in touch with his Zanpaktou or however you spell it, it'd be EXTREMELY lame of the author(s) to just bring a foolish brute force character into this. Hopefully his Bankai is something really cool too, like a non-physical bankai so he can say something witty before doing it like "heh, funny how it wasn't a physical release, eh?"
i can't remember if thats spelled right or not but it means first form does it not or initial releaseOriginally Posted by Maguspk
I can't decide whether I like Nel's voice or not...
I think her voice is pretty cute.Originally Posted by Nuriko
Shikai is the first form of their sword. Like when Renji's sword turns from a regular sword into the multi-segment retractable sword (he says "Howl, Zabimaru" or whatever).Originally Posted by Maguspk

So who thinks Zarachi will have a totally mental Bankai despite his heavy use of physical techniques just for irony's sake?
Bankai or not, it would be huge even if he could communicate with his sword period.Originally Posted by Maguspk
well, I'd assume he would have had to have known his swords name at one point in time. since he has his Shikai anyways.Originally Posted by Boyiee
The question is how he forgot the name. Probably just because he, as stated by himself during his fight with ichigo, thought getting help from the zanpaktou was something a weakling would do. which in actuality, was making himself weaker.
Tesla is weaker than Yami, so I dont see zaraki having any problem with him. I really doubt he has Bankai, but even just knowing his swords name would be enough for zaraki to stall outlong enough from some other stupid shit to happen via Orihime restoring Nell/Ichigo, Ulquorria coming back and making Nnoitra retreat, or do I dare say it... Orihime healing ichigo and grimmjaw for a Ulq/Nnoi vs Ichi/grim fight, with Grimmjaw helping out under the Vegeta clause.
That would be made of win. I don't know why but just using that term "vegeta clause" brought back a rush of nostalgia and now I partially want it to happen lol. That'd be so badass especially since it kind of makes sense considering Grimmjaw lost and now he simply holds a grudge with Ulq and no longer with Ichigo most likely. But eh, I dream...Originally Posted by Souj
edit:
I finished 146 and I must say, Nel is really cute in the anime lol. Her voice doesn't matter, her whole character is great actually made me laugh multiple times.
