BUT ICHIGO DEFLECTED THE YAKUZAS BLOW, HE HAS DA SKILLS TO PAY THE BILLS, BUT NOW RENJI IS PAYING THE BILLS? WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!

(seriously whoever came up with that line needs to get shot)

**Outlaw** · 2013-02-21 23:29

So what people are saying is that the Asauchi let Renji win? And not Ichigo. Wouldn't that mean that they are stronger than both of them? I thought the Asauchi were just blank zanpakuto. Seems like they would be weaker.

One guy fighting hundreds of people for days will eventually get tired, especially if they don't get tired.

**Ragnus** · 2013-02-22 09:29

It's probably just gonna be a reference to the fact that Ichigo ganked Rukia's power instead of going through the who asauchi training that every Shinigami goes through.

**kuronosan** · 2013-02-22 11:08

I'm pretty sure all that was meant was that Ichigo never bonded with his sword the way others do. They are given swords and pour their essence into it. Ichigo's essence was always there but he never actually poured it into a sword (just into the one Rukia 'gave' him). I guess it means that while Zangetsu is Ichigo's sword he wasn't actually focusing it through the ASAUCHILOL like others and thus has been fighting totally through his own power.

In other words, retcon so that Ichigo can get backstory, stronger, etc.

Mangapanda is out.

There are backgrounds.

No, really.

**Xno Kappa** · 2013-02-27 01:16

Can it be next week now?

**Guitarman** · 2013-02-27 01:22

Enough with piling on 50 more friggen cliffhangers, Kubo. Finish a story before you move onto more.

That being said, not like the last panel surprised anyone here. I still look forward to seeing where this is going nonetheless.

bah, post a link if you make the announcement! I can;t be bothered to make extra steps!

I love how Kubo drops big "bombshell moments" like that when most everyone already figured it out a handful of chapters ago.

Spoiler: show

He is feeling left out no doubt. I wonder how long before Ishida shows back up...

**Tymon** · 2013-02-27 01:41

I'd like to take a moment to reflect on an earlier chapter.

Remember when Aizen got interrupted while saying "After all, you're the offspring of a Shinigami and a ---"

Everyone panned the translation and said that it was supposed to be saying human, and it was a foregone conclusion and all that.

Nope. All planned.

Mostly true, however it has been established that you must be human to be a Quincy...

this has already been reflected on in this thread in the past several times. and then brought up even more recently when Ichigo used his quincy power a few chapters ago.

It appears that Kurosaki was in fact Masaki's name which would make sense why no one recognized the name in the Soul Society arc. I guess there's enough clues to say that Isshin is probably a Shiba after all.

**Guitarman** · 2013-02-27 02:58

ultra late edit:

@ above that was kind of hinted by kukaku that this was gonna happen when she shot up the zero squad with ichigo. I think she said something along the lines of "...even if it pisses off Uncle". So she's his niece? Or something? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how that would work.

It's pretty much garunteed at this point.

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-02-27 07:22

Well at least we're finally getting into the Isshin backstory arc. It's been how long now since his interruption during Aizen's speech about Ichigo being a Quincy?

Him looking exactly like Kaien wouldn't make sense without Isshin being related to the Shiba clan.

What If:

On top of being the child of a Shinigami and Quincy that learned to access his inner Hollow also making him Visored and lost his mother to a Hollow giving him Fullbring powers...

... he's also the reincarnation of Shiba Kaien?
