^ Something like this, I think. Ichigo wasn't ready, before; he didn't have the proper respect for them, and for his relationship all parts of himself, really. Now that he understands everything about himself, about his powers, about what happened in the past, and about what he wants to do moving forward (instead of just the obligatory "I want to protect mah frieeends~!!", there's nothing for them to test.
This was a nice training chapter. I always dig these kinds.
Wonder if that huge animal dude is what he turns into after like a billion years. I expect a lot of training chapters incoming with some Ishida and the bad guys chatter. Also, some mother fucking Kenpachi!
I had a feeling Kubo would bring him back to the afro-guy quick.
Not really. They just know Ichigo means business and has a reason to fight other than protecting his friends. They bowed because Ichigo isn't messing around and now respects his power rather than using it as a tool to win fights.
"The enemy can steal Bankai. So we should have more people who know how to use Bankai."
Am I missing the logic there?
And that was right after Hitsugaya was doing the smart thing and boning up on his non-bankai training.
And yeah, big dog thing is weird. Not that normal slightly human sized bipedal dog person isn't weird.
At first I thought it might be his zanpaktou spirit, but I don't think he'd have said "It's been a long time"
Yeah, that's what I thought. It was a similar logic Byakuya had with Renji before he got his shit pushed in within 3.2 seconds before realizing what the fuck was going on.
Am I only one that kinda got annoyed when the Afro guys chick showed up to pick up Ichigo? When Isshin said "How do you expect to get back" I immediately hoped for a Shiba clan reunion lol.
Isn't bigtitscannonshiba lady training all the Fullbringers?
Wonder if Ichigos Bankai is going to be different...random speculation goooooo
Didn't Byakuya say it takes 10 years of training to master a Bankai? Assuming he got it after the battle with Aizen, it seems Hisagi's Bankai will be best used as fodder to use up one of their steals rather than a backup. But we haven't seen it, so I imagine Kensei's will be absorbed and Hisagi will step in.
And I don't know if she's training them -- I thought they walked off into the woods with Ganju?
Well Hisagi was always scared of his power's iirc, so there's a good possibility he's had it for much longer.
You know the reason they probably couldn't take Ichigo's bankai was because it wasn't a "real bankai". Or it could just be the part quincy thing.
Curious how this all turns out now. Also go back to Zaraki and his sword's name, kubo..
For some reason seeing them all kneel like that made me think of him subjugating them, and ichigo starting on his path to be the next spirit king. (Just a random thought)
Yeah I couldn't remember what exactly happened and can't look it up on my computer right now. I am going to assume she is training seeing how she always made Ganju her bitch way back in the manga.
Hisagi probably does have his bankai as stated earlier and is probably scared to unleash it. Retarded seeing how he is around people who could easily knock him out though.
They don't necessarily have to have mastered their bankai for it to be useful. Renji's portable escalator has come through for Ichigo and friends countless times.
