Bleach 540 reveals why Zangetsu and Juha Bach (Yhwach) are so similar in the way they look. It’s mentioned while Nimaiya reforges his sword that Zangetsu is not who he seems to be, in fact Ichigo has been lied to as the Zangetsu we know is Juha Bach’s form from 1000 years ago, who has been within Ichigo’s Soul! Nimaiya gets serious and calls upon his woman to help him reforge Ichigo’s Zangetsu Sword.

Bleach 540 begins as Nimaiya gets prepared, he calls out to begin his show! 5 Zanpakuto’s show up behind Ichigo, they land and quickly beat up Nimaiya while they get down, probably to get him all fired up to do his work. Nimaiya’s private escort team show up. Ichigo and Zangetsu are both flabbergasted by what just happened.

Nimaiya mentions that he’s spacing out, he mentioned for this to include everything, this includes Asauchi, the body of his starts to degrade and begins to form itself into a thin object. His companions gets set and do what they’re suppose to. The first, his companion blows a large amount of fire into a wall, the next pours the collected fire or lava into a large bucket.

The next uses her pony tails to collect the metal, the fourth takes a tooth from her mouth, to which instantly forms into a large hammer for Nimaiya to use. Lastly, Nimaiya Oetsu himself gets ready, he ties his hair back, takes his sunglasses off and mentions that it’s finally time to get busy.

Nimaiya pulls back and smashes the metal collected, Ichigo watches from the back as Nimaiya does his job. Nimaiya asks what’s going on in the head of his, he goes on to mention that it would have been more productive of him to use his sunglasses at this point. He notices that Nimaiya called him Chan-Ichi.

Nimaiya calls him an idiot, if he had his shades on, he wouldn’t be able to see the shades of the flames. He also asks if he noticed the reason why his Asauchi turned whiter than snow when he touched him. Ichigo didn’t really bother to give a reason. Ichigo wonders what he’s talking about when he mentions that it’s just like the hollow with Nimaiya.

He mentions that he also has an inner hollow, he made the Asauchi like this in order to draw out his Zanpakuto. He asks if he gets it, he goes on to make it clear that this Hollow is his Zanpakuto! The hollow that Aizen artificially made were from piling up shinigami souls, which was called and referred to white. Furthermore, the Asauchi’s in which Nimaiya makes is the same way.

The hollow entered Ichigo and merged with Ichigo’s own shinigami powers, therefore he is Ichigo’s true Zanpakuto! Therefore the person he’s been talking with, Zangetsu, is infact inside Ichigo’s Soul! He’s been faking and pretending to be his Zanpakuto! Zangetsu quickly appears, Ichigo appears in front of him.

Nimaiya talks to Ichigo, he asks if he knows that man, he goes on to mention that it’s Zangetsu, however he quickly corrects him, mentioning that this is not Zangetsu! Nimaiya mentions that the person is in fact an imposter and that he should be able to connect all the dots quickly. Nimaiya mentions that he’s the man currently taking advantage of Soul Society! Juha Bach! (Yhwach).

Ichigo is completely shocked at this point, he’s always trusted him and now he finds out that this person is in fact someone else. Nimaiya also reveals that that guy is not a Shinigami, and doesn’t have any Shinigami powers, in fact he is his Quincy powers! It’s correct to assume that this person is in fact Juha Bach (Yhwach) from a thousand years ago! Bleach 540 ends here.

What a crazy episode, I knew there were similarities within who we thought was Zangetsu and the current Juha Bach! But this is just awesome, how could this have happened and it’s awesome to know, can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 541, to find out how this happened in the first place!

Ichigo’s recently learnt about how Ol’ Man Zangetsu is not who he seems he is, in fact Nimaiya tells Ichigo that he is in fact Juha Bach from 1000 years ago! The artist himself did not realize that Bach and ‘Zangetsu ‘ had any similarities, therefore after finding this out, he was mind blown. He also explains that after reading Bleach 540, he thought that Juha Bach was always there pulling his strings.

The amazing artwork above was thought and created by IFrAgMenTIx who has been featured a number of times before. They’ve also got some of their work displayed on the header image. If you like their work, I highly recommend you go follow and have a look at their awesome work.

Bleach 541 enters a new stage for Ichigo as he talks to Juha Bach within him, he mentions that he’s not Zangetsu, in fact the Hollow he’s been training with is his Zangetsu, furthermore Juha Bach tried to protect him but failed. He brings out a sword when he disappears. He mentions that this sword is his real zanpakuto, Ichigo’s real Zangetsu!

Bleach 541 begins with Ichigo getting a few memories, the first time he fought him, he had a feeling that he was summoned there in front of Juha Bach, he tried to not think about the reason, he didn’t even have any information except that he was the enemy. Plus the first time he looked at him, it quickly reminded him of someone he knew.

He shouts his name, calling out Zangetsu, Ichigo asks him what all this means. The person we know as Zangetsu is in fact Juha Bach, he mentions that it is what he has heard from Nimaiya. He also mentions that he is not Zangetsu! At this moment, Ichigo gets heart broken, at the same time the place they’re in begins to break, the buildings break and go into water.

Ichigo asks if he’s really Juha Bach and not Zangetsu. Juha Bach answers this question by telling him that he’s the source of his Quincy Power within him, plus he’s both Juha Bach and at the same time he’s not him. Ichigo shouts telling him that he doesn’t get what he means. Ichigo asks if he’s an enemy, and ally and was what he mentioned a lie. He shouts for him to answer.

Juha Bach mentions that he is neither his ally or enemy. Furthermore his words are straight from his heart, and that he has never told him a lie, except about his name. He tells him that he should have noticed it by now. When he was teaching about how to use a Zanpakuto, it was not him who was helping him, it was in fact the power of his Hollow.

When he couldn’t use his Zanpakuto powers, when his life was in danger, the one who saved you was not him, in fact it was always his inner hollow! Ichigo is shocked to hear this. Juha Bach mentions that he didn’t want him to become a shinigami, that is why he tried to suppress his growing potential and always tried to be the core of his power.

Ichigo asks why, Juha Bach mentions that is it strange for him to keep him away from fights and danger, if he became a shinigami, he would have always been involved, he will be hurt, he will suffer, and thus one day he will have to kill Ichigo with his own hands. Juha Bach unleashes a sword looking object with flame like substance covering it.

Ichigo looks at him, mentioning that he may have to fight him at this point, Juha Bach mentions that he mustn’t let him become a shinigami, if he becomes one he will have to kill him. This is what he had thought, however eventually Ichigo did become a shinigami, he had chance, he trained hard and despite getting hurt and suffering, he chose to pursue that path.

When ever he saw him like this, he’s heart would waver, intending of stopping Ichigo becoming a Shinigami, he’s heart started to help him in his path, and even at this point, he’s happy to step back, he mentions that he’s become strong, he was able to watch him grow, all this time when he’s been close to him, he couldn’t be happier, at this moment he’s satisfied. Juha Bach begins to fade away after his skin starts to degrade, Ichigo mentions that he still has things to ask.

At this moment, we see Juha Bach cry after fading away, all that is left is the sword which Juha Bach summoned. It seems to be burning in a flame, Juha Bach mentions that what he’s been using is the power that he was unable to suppress, now he can finally fight using his own strength, take it with you, what’s in front of him is his real zanpakuto, the real Zangetsu! A large flash appears at this point, Bleach 541 ends here.

A new chapter after another, it seems that Bleach is getting better, even more and more! Ichigo getting another new power up as well as all of his own power is going to be awesome. It seems that as Juha Bach steps back, he won’t be able to use his Quincy powers, hopefully he might be able to unlock it later on, can’t wait to see what it looks like! Can’t wait for Bleach 542 next week!

Bleach 542 brings forth Ichigo’s new Zangetsu Zanpakuto! From a single sword to ones which are now two handed. We see Ichigo tell himself that both Hollow Ichigo and Juha Bach are his Zangetsu! From this he receives swords, one being larger than the other. He currently looks immense with both his swords! I love the new looks!

Bleach 542 begins with the past, it’s mentioned that there were no lies told, none from Hollow Ichigo, nor Juha Bach. Juha Bach saved Ichigo using the Quincy’s Shadow, he stopped his blood using his Quincy’s Blood. He even lent him his Quincy’s power when he was weak. He considers, both of them as Zangetsu, he doesn’t care who they are, he might even say that it’s not true but both of them are his Zangetsu!

He asks if he’s okay with that, calling Zangetsu one last time. As Nimaiya forges his Zanpakuto, Ichigo steps in, he looks down at whats being made, a large wave of water appears, all of Nimaiya’s helpers look at what’s happening, then mention that he shouldn’t be there as he’s hands will burn. Nimaiya tells her that it’s fine.

Nimaiya mentions that it is as he thought, if he puts his soul in there, it will be perfect. Once he does it, Nimaiya tells him that it’s done, he should take it out. He tells Ichigo that it’s he’s Zanpakuto! Ichigo begins to pull it out, once he does this, the water around him swoosh in large waves, it turns most of the water around him into steam, it begins to evaporate. Nimaiya’s helpers mention that they’ve never seen anything like this.

Nimaiya begins by telling them that the sea dried up because of the heat as well as Ichigo’s immense reiatsu! It was to cool the swords down. Ichigo struts he’s brand new swords, one which is much longer than the other, he holds both of them in pride, calling his swords Zangetsu’s! He looks at the swords and thinks of both Hollow Ichigo and Juha Bach, the combination of them being Zangetsu!

Ichigo talks to himself that from this point on, he’ll never ask for his help again, he will stop asking for him to lend his power, or for him not to be in his way, he also won’t ask for them to fight together. From this point on, he will fight on his own, he thanks Zangetsu! He mentions that he is himself, and that the blade is him! There is no longer a bond since his power is finally his.

We move to the Quincy HQ, where see a large number of people, especially the great number of Stern Ritters! They’re told to hold their Quincy’s crosses high for their leader, Juha Bach! He asks if all the Stern Ritters are there, he mentions that he has some information to tell them! Bleach 542 ends here.

This may have been a short chapter, but it was one which was awesome and great. I like what Kubo has done, especially give Ichigo a brand new look, especially the new Zangetsu sword, the two Zanpakuto will definitely be something new for all of us to see, there doesn’t seem to be any Shinigami I know off with dual handed swords. Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 543, to see what Juha Bach has to tell us!

Bleach 542 brought a new beginning to Ichigo’s line, as Ichigo got a new look! Ichigo obtained a new sword! Not just one but in fact two new zanpakuto’s! Ichigo’s New Look is awesome, as the above image shows. Ichigo now holds two swords, both for his two Zangetsu’s as we know them. Hollow Ichigo and Juha Bach are now referred to as Zangetsu!

The small sword I think is manifested from Juha Bach, Ichigo’s Quincy powers, my reason for this is that Quincy weapons are usually well defined and smooth in texture, they don’t seem to have random curves, however when Juha Bach materialised a sword within Bleach 541, it was a somewhat the same size sword in flames as the one in Ichigo’s right hand. It’s hard to tell.

The larger sword in Ichigo’s right hand is a lot bigger, it’s very similar to Ichigo’s previous Shikai sword, it was large and bulky. Plus Juha Bach never gave Ichigo any of his Quincy powers, except for certain events, so would that mean the large sword was Hollow Ichigo’s (Real Zangetsu) and that it relates to the larger on the right, I seem to think so.

I like what Kubo Tite has done now, he showed a new sword during Bleach 541, however now he mind blows me with two swords. If I remember correctly, Bleach hasn’t had a Shinigami with two Zanpakuto’s as their Bankai, except for Shunsui and Jushiro with their Shikai. If i’m correct, this is now Ichigo’s Bankai as previously it was his Bankai that was broken, so I’m guessing Nimaiya’s fixing his Bankai, unfortunately he wasn’t able to, Ichigo fixed it himself.

Furthermore the reason I think why Ichigo is keeping the idea that Juha Bach is not someone else and only Zangetsu because he doesn’t want someone he trusts to change, he’s had a number of his friends put themselves on the line for Ichigo’s survival, even after getting to Soul Society to fight Juha Bach, he sensed that he was summoned, he doesn’t want someone who lives and helps him such as Juha Bach to be someone who killed a number of his comrades, he cannot handle this fact, that is why I think that Ichigo is unable to comprehend, he just wants to stay sane, it seems that to this point, he doesn’t fully understand what has just been told to him by Nimaiya and Juha Bach.

One question I’m asking myself at this point is, where is Hollow Ichigo? If Juha Bach still exists within Ichigo, where the hell is he? The explanation in which I’m currently thinking off is that the Asauchi he picked was Hollow Ichigo himself, when Nimaiya was trying to reforge Ichigo’s bankai, Nimaiya was repairing Ichigo’s Hollow Ichigo side, Nimaiya had to trigger Ichigo’s Quincy side to also upgrade so Ichigo’s reforged sword would be perfect. Once he did this, Ichigo’s sword wasn’t just one but in fact two different swords, both named Zangetsu! One being Juha Bach and the other Hollow Ichigo! This is why Ichigo obtained two different zanpakuto’s.

To add, I don’t think Juha Bach within the Quincy Empire knows what is currently happening in Ichigo’s head, he might have an idea that Ichigo’s changing but his ideas and thoughts may not be fully clear, that is until he finds out or they fight once more. However my mind now knows that since Juha Bach’s blood is in everyone, it’s most likely that he may know, it’s fully possible thought Juha Bach may have other things to talk about regarding the war, lets see what he has to say in next week’s Bleach 543 chapter.

So what do you think of my thoughts? Would you argue against me or are you following my thoughts? If not, then just tells me what you think! Use the comment section below.

Bleach 543 makes Uryu Ishida the successor of Juha Bach! It’s mentioned that he’s the only Quincy left. He will need to go through a lot of processes to which he will learn how to be his successor. Many of the Quincies Stern Ritter’s are unhappy as they wanted Hashwalth to be their successor.

Bleach 543 begins as Juha Bach gets upon the stage to talk to all his Vandenreich as well as his Stern Ritter about something important. He brings someone on stage,  we clearly see that Uryu Ishida is with Juha Bach on stage, he wears the full white Quincy clad cloths. Everyone notices this, they asked themselves who that man is with Juha Bach! It’s as though he shouldn’t be there. Juha Bach introduces Uryu Ishida to them as the last Quincy alive in this world!

Juha Bach tells everyone that he nominates him as his successor! Everyone is terribly shocked at this fact  and that they don’t even know this person. They mentions that this man is not even known to them and he’s quickly named their successor! He  is stopped by Hashwalth himself as though he shouldn’t make any judgements at this point.

Juha Bach mentions that in the upcoming fights, they will all be able to see for themselves his true power. He ends the meeting there and then. A few of the Stern Ritter after words talk about what just happened, they don’t get what is happening, they don’t even know who he is.

We’re introduced to Stern Ritter S, Mask De Masculine. Stern Ritter K, BG9. Stern Ritter I, Cang Du and Stern Ritter H, Bazz-B. Mask De Masculine mentions asks if someone should explain. BG9 answers that only his Majesty can explain this. Bazz-B cannot seem to understand what is happening and that he cannot accept this.

He goes off, Mask De Masculine asks where he’s going, Bazz-B mentions that he’s going to his Majesties as he cannot keep quiet about this, Mask De Masculine tells him to stop as they won’t be able to forgive him for what he’ll do. Haschwalth approaches him, Stern Ritter B, Jugram Haschwalth.

Jugram Haschwalth asks where he’s going, he replies with another question, asking him where he’s just about to go. Bazz-B mentions that he was sure that Haschwalth would be Juha Bach’s successor. Most of the Stern Ritter would not have had a problem with this, he then asks if he feels anything about what has just happened.

Haschwalth mentions that what has happened is Juha’s decision, he cannot change his mind, Bazz-B calls him a coward for this. He then gets ready shouting that he should just leave that seat to him, if it doesn’t bother him then he should get his chance to sit on it too. Bazz-B is told to calm down, he mentions that he’s perfectly calm, even more than Haschwalth.

Out of nowhere appears a portal life thing where a person comes through. He starts his words by mentioning that they’re both calm. We’re introduced to Stern Ritter D, Askin Nakk Le Vaar. Bazz-B asks what he’s there for. Nakk Le Var mentions that he’s there to help him as they have people who are spying on them.

Nakk Le Var mentions that they should stop this fighting, as nothing will come out of it, he looks towards Haschwalth and tells him that nothing come out of it except poison, he emphasises on this. He asks if he understands, then labels Haschwalth as his next emperor.

We go to where Uryu Ishida is, we see Ishida drink something,  Juha mentions that when he drinks that, the ceremony will be over, his power will awaken soon, he will then give him the Schrift (Literally meaning Sacred Scripts), from that he will be able to bear the name and the letter A, just like him! Bleach 543 ends here.

What a crazy episode, things are already beginning and it seems that people are beginning to hate Uryu! It also seems that he may not have his full power as of yet and that after he drinks that he will be able to unlock it, hopefully we’ll see this sooner than later. Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 544!

Bleach 543 has just been released and a lot has happened! What was firstly predicted was nothing more than false, Uryu Ishida will not be fighting by Juha Bach’s side! In fact his mission, or rather his destiny is to become Stern Ritter A! Juha Bach got on a podium in which he told all of his Vandenreich and Stern Ritter army that Uryu Ishida is the last Quincy, and that he will replace him as the next king, he is his successor.

Many Stern Ritters were shocked that someone who they don’t even know would be their king. At the end of the chapter we learnt that Juha Bach already started the process of giving Uryu Ishida his powers back when he drank that liquid. We already know that he already has his Quincy powers, could Juha Bach  be talking about powers which only pure Quincies posses, for example the Blut system. We know that Ishida is not pure, he’s the birth child of Katagiri and Ryuken. Katagiri is not a pure Quincy.

Speaking of Ryuken, Juha Bach mentioned that Uryu is the last Quincy left, where does this leave Ryuken, does it mean that he’s been killed or does it mean that he’s hidden himself well enough that even Juha Bach nor his soldiers can capture or find him. One more point could be that he’s just denied his Quincy side, thus unable to use his powers any longer.

We know that Ishida has always been the cautious type, he’s always been the thinker, therefore thinking before he even gets himself into a situation. From the very beginning, he’s always hated Shinigami’s for what they’ve done, however after meeting Ichigo, he’s learnt that some can be different. So what would possess him into choosing the Quincy side at this peak moment, he’s even been elected as the next King, so what has he given up already?

Moreover, when Juha Bach mentioned that Uryu is the only Quincy left, does that refer to Impure Quincies or rather that the Stern Ritter and Vandenreich are not Quincies themselves, and rather just plain soldiers with Quincy abilities thrusted into them by Juha Bach? We need bit more explanation to what the Stern Ritters are and how they’re different from Quincy’s themselves.

We saw some new Stern Ritter members as well  as their letters. Especially Jugram Haschwalth, and we could have easily guessed that as he was always by Juha Bach’s side, he would have to be a high enough rank, and thus he’s B. We got introduced to Stern Ritter D, Askin Nakk Le Varr, who seemed strong as well as cocky. Someone who Zaraki would be perfect to fight. He mentioned that there are people spying on them, the old guy, who we need to know more about to understand what that could be.

I’m guessing that there might be a group of people within the Vandenreich who might not accept what the war is about, and the old man might be there for a reason. Furthermore Nakk Le Varr mentions poison when referring to Haschwalth, could that be in junction that Haschwalth’s special ability is based on some kind of poison.

Furthermore, Nakk Le Varr doesn’t stop himself when admitting that he also wants Jugram Haschwalth to be the next King. He bows to him as well shares his desires that he is strong. I personally like to mention that Jugram Haschwalth would be a bad choice for a King, even if he’s Stern Ritter B, and Juha Bach’s right arm, he doesn’t seem to have any leadership skills, what he treasures most seems to be that he wants to protect Juha Bach regardless if he’s a king or not. Plus Nakk Le Varr seems to be one of those people who would use abuse his power if he got around to being Stern Ritter B.

Juha Bach mentions that Uryu Ishida will prove himself in the upcoming battles, obviously proving that once he obtains his pure Quincy abilities, as mentioned above when he drinks the liquid. He will show his true power as a Quincy as well as Stern Ritter A. One thing in which this foreshadows is the fact that Ichigo will definitely be in the battlefield, and once these two approach each other, it will make Ichigo crazy. And because Juha Bach would want Uryu to show his potential, he will be forced to fight his friend which will once again be a terrible thing.

Uryu at this point will have two choices, for him to fight against Ichigo with full force and kill him, or rather admit that he been Juha Bach just to obtain Pure Quincy abilities so he could help Ichigo and the others. Or he could fake his death at this point. If Uryu doesn’t show that he’s capable of being Stern Ritter A, or rather the king of the Quincy’s, many other Stern Ritter’s such as Bazz-B and Nakk Le Varr will quickly name their champion to be Jugram Haschwalth.

So what did you think of what I just mentioned, do you agree, do you have any more points to add and what did you think of the overall chapter? Use the comment section to tell me! I certainly can’t wait for Bleach 544.

Ichigo Kurosaki has gone through a number of amazing changes, from his normal Zangetsu way at the start during his fight against Zaraki to his Final Getsuga Tensho, and now begins his latest journey as the image correctly shows. This image in particular includes Ichigo’s most current form which is his amazing Two Zangetsu’s!

Ichigo has travelled a long way, from the beginning of the image at the bottom, he had just lost his Shinigami powers, he then goes on to find Ginjo and the Fullbringers who help him to gain his Fullbring. After correctly obtaining it, he see’s his powers quickly being taken away from him by Ginjo, the man who had taught him how to use it.

After Rukia’s arrival, Ichigo looks back and see’s he’s been stabbed, he wonders why she of all people would do that. He quickly notices that it’s not a normal sword but in fact one which will restart his Shinigami powers, he transforms into his Shikai form and quickly into his Bankai! He rightly defeats and kills Ginjo. After the Quincy’s invade Soul Society Ichigo only wants to help, but after meeting Juha Bach, his Bankai is quickly taken away from him as it breaks.

He starts another journey, this time meeting Squad 0, they all know about Ichigo, however he knows nothing about him. Ichigo goes through a number of challenges to find that his mother, Masaki, was a Quincy and his father, Isshin, was a Captain. He even talks to Ol’ Man Zangetsu to find that he’s not Zangetsu but in fact Juha Bach from 1000 years ago. The real Zangetsu is the Hollow Ichigo he’s been facing all his life. From learning this, he quickly forms another bond and thus he obtains two amazing swords in a dual wield fashion. InEc-Dve made the awesome image, go and check them out.

Bleach 544 see’s why Uryu Ishida had escaped the Impure Quincy Purge, Juha Bach mentions that he posses something which even surpasses Juha Bach’s powers. Hashwalth describes Uryu to be trapped where he is, everyone will keep a close eye on him and if he betrays everyone will want his head. Urahara and the others are in Hueco Mundo looking for something useful which has been described by Urahara to take some time.

Bleach 544 begins as Ishida asks Juha Bach why he made him his successor, Juha Bach responds by asking if it’s a problem. Uryu mentions that making someone who just appeared out of nowhere his successor will only create friction amongst his army. Juha Bach tells him that this is a good thing, he doesn’t need or want sheep following him.

Juha Bach mentions that it’s not even sunk in, he also mentions that he has his reasons for picking Uryu as his successor, once Uryu realises this, it will all become clear. Uryu doesn’t seem to have realised it yet. Juha Bach asks him why he’s still alive at that point. Uryu quickly remembers. Juha Bach tells him that 9 years ago, during his Selection (Selektierung), all the Mixed Quincy (Gemischt) were purged except Uryu who is mixed. He therefore was described the sole Quincy that survived through the Selection.

This is why he had introduced him as the Last Survivor. He possesses something that can surpass Juha Bach’s powers. This is the reason why he was made his successor. Juha Bach tells him that shouldn’t worry about anything, he should not over-analyze things. And the only thing he should do is come with him. Uryu understands and only wishes for the best of his Majesty.

We move on to Bambietta Basterbine who asks a man to come over to her room, when he arrives, we see that he’s literally cut in half by her. While she prepares we see four members walk one, all Stern Ritters. They mention that she’s caused such a mess there. We’re introduced to Stern Ritter G Liltotto Lamperd, Stern Ritter P Meninas McAllon, Stern Ritter T Candice Catnipp and Stern Ritter Z Giselle Gewelle.

Liltotto mentions that spilling sweets and spilling blood are two different things, calling Bambietta a bitch. Meninas mentions that she should have at least done it outside. Candice mentions that it doesn’t matter if it’s inside or outside, she shouldn’t have done it altogether, especially guys like that. Giselle mentions that Candice seems to be taking all the young subordinates for a whirl.

They all notice something in particular on the wall. Bambietta asks for them to be quite for a second, she is worried about something, Candice asks about what. Bambietta mentions that she’s worried about the future of the Vandenreich. We see Haschwalth walk in and is welcomed by his maid.

Haschwalth tells her that it’s late and that she should go sleep. She steps in mentioning that she’s disappointed with what Juha Bach mentioned, she mentions that it should have been him. He asks if she’s disappointed, she seems to be, but she asks if he isn’t. Haschwalth mentions that this was his intentions from the beginning. He had calculated this, he wanted to purposely create chaos and friction in order to make everyone judge each other harsher and direct all those judgemental eyes towards Uryu.

So they could ask them what type of man he is, the kind of power he posses and how he processes information. By doing this, he will be left with a short leash which means the only thing he’s capable of doing is to devote himself to Juha Bach. This is even if realises Juha Bach’s true intentions.

We go to Hueco Mundo with Orihime, she seems to have arrived somewhere, she mentions that people say that travelling is considered training. She takes out a potato type thing, she imagines what Chad could be doing. She imagines him eating the snack, mentioning how good or bad the snack really is. She then talks to Pero who is currently accompanying her.

A flying bat like thing follows her, it mentions that Orihime shouldn’t make it blush. She also remembers that Urahara mentioned that Pero has a camera to monitor potential danger or if she’s ever in danger. Orihime mentions that she was in danger multiple times and he never showed up. Chad walks out and tells Orihime that it’s fine, she mentions that it’s okay and that she’s just there.

Chad mentions now every seems to be together. We see a man behind Chad who is covered in shadows, could this be Grimmjow? They walk in to see Urahara, it looks like they’ve arrived safely he mentions. He’s glad that they have, he also mentions that for what he’s doing, it seems like it will take some time. Bleach 544 ends here.

What a crazy chapter, we finally see that Uryu is also special, just like Ichigo, Uryu could even has his own powers to own and show off. This is getting better and better. Plus we’ve seen more characters and we’re back with Urahara’s adventures, when will we get to see who the mysterious man is? Can’t wait for Bleach 545.

Bleach 545 clearly surprised me. I was looking at previous chapters all wrong, instead of looking at the obvious that Uryu actually survived the Mixed Quincy Selection, I thought that Ryuken had somehow hid himself or died, or that the Vandenreich aren’t Quincy’s at all. Bleach 545 put me back on the right track.

I personally think that Uryu is getting himself into something that he really doesn’t want to get, or rather he shouldn’t get into this situation because it’s most likely that he’s going to fail during another attack on Hueco Mundo or Soul Society. This will most likely prove to lose all trust and hope the Stern Ritters may have on Uryu as the successor.

However I could be wrong and it could work in the other way, that he actually activates his powers and becomes a Pure Quincy, to which he will be able to use his Blut as well as other special abilities. As I mentioned in previous posts, Haschwalth is not a good candidate to be his successor, my explanation to this is that he knows how the Vandenreich and Stern Ritter works, he knows it too well and trusts Juha Bach to work at his best.

However Uryu, the successor, doesn’t have a clue. I think what Juha Bach is getting at here is that he wants something to drastically change the way the Vandenreich and all Quincy’s work. By making a change he wants to make it better. Juha Bach knows that Uryu is definitely clever, and by appointing him the successor, he might even able to make some changes for the better. It’s not fully clear what Juha Bach’s intentions are, maybe he wishes for Uryu to somehow make peace with the Shinigami. I know it’s a crazy idea, but the Vandenreich see Juha Bach as a strong leader who can take any enemy and defeat them. However if Juha Bach appoints someone who they know nothing about, it could change their view of their leader where they will follow the new King of peace. I think this may be a reference to the friction, as in some Quincy’s may not readily accept this but overtime it will get smoother.

Furthermore, we know that Jugram Haschwalth is Stern Ritter B, he obviously seems to be clever, even more than the Standard Quincy’s. For any other Stern Ritter, he was the obvious choice to replace Juha Bach however that didn’t work out. He knows Juha Bach better than anyone, and likewise he knows that with every decision he knows that Juha has his own intentions, we may not know it yet, but it’s most likely that we will.

A small mystery that I noticed was that Bambietta Basterbine brought out something from her room, a mysterious box thing from her safe. Could it be that she’s going to go to assassinate Uryu or could she be planning something even more worst? Another small thing which we noticed was the experiment in which Urahara was doing, it looked a lot like the Quincy logo. Could this be hinting at the fact that the Vandenreich HQ is a lot closer than we think?

So what do you think of all that I’ve mentioned, do you agree? do you think it’s correct or wrong? Comment below.

Bleach 546 gets absolutely crazy! We see a lot ahead thinking by Shunsui and what he’s thought are, however I still suspect he’s doing something dodgy here. Out of nowhere we see Seireitei and most of it’s citizen disappear while some like Akon stay. Juha Bach explains that after 9 days he will take over the world, which seems to have come true.

Bleach 546 begins as Keigo takes what Shunsui has just said as a joke, however his face also tells another story that he must be kidding by what he’s just said. He faces Shunsui mentioning that he almost got him with his twisted sense of humour. Shunsui mentions that he’s not in the mood to mess around.

Keigo asks how he can speak of Ichigo and him parting away from them so calmly. Keigo mentions that he’s acting like it’s got nothing to do with him, he just needs him to clear up another mess they’re in. Shunsui mentions that he’s right. Ichigo has saved them many times before and he’s the shield.

Mizuiro asks what that has to do with his permanent parting, Shunsui mentions that he’s currently at a very important place in Soul Society to which he’s going to stay there until he returns. The conclusion of what his training there is what concerns him, as he may find a new power which will be dependant on where he can be. Depending on the power, he may have adverse effects in the human world, if this is the case then they can’t allow him to ever step foot into the Human World.

Keigo grabs his collar mentioning that this would be perfect for them, especially since Ichigo will now be closer to them, this time they’ll even be able to keep watch over him as well as order him around. Shunsui mentions that if this is what is required, then he will not back down. Mizuiro mentions that this could happen and at the same time I has a chance of not happening.

He asks what the odds are, one in ten thousand or lower, Shunsui mentions that the odds in which he’s speaking off are astronomical, if it’s such a long shot then why would he bother telling them Tatsuki asks. Shunsui mentions that keeping Ichigo’s friends in the dark about the possibility would be doing him a disservice. He brings out three passes which is described to them to allow them access into Soul Society. He also mentions that he’s given them to Ichigo’s family, which we haven’t yet seen.

Shunsui mentions that there is no need to make such a face, as when Ichigo returns, he will send him straight to Human World for him to wind down and chill which is most likely the best thing for him. All three of them seem to be a little worried. In Hueco Mundo, Orihime and Chad are going around, he asks her if she needs a breath, she mentions that the surrounding is so peaceful and serene.

Chad is surprised mentioning that they’re in a war and that they should do their job. However Orihime mentions that she just wants to help, and that they should all help each other with no war breaking out. In Seireitei, out of nowhere a black and strange thing appears and seems to be covering most of Seireitei, it gets larger and larger when we notice the whole world has changed into the Quincy’s world!

And on top of this are Juha Bach, Haswalth and Uryu. People notice how crazy this is, don’t know even know what’s happening. At the Research labs, Akon notices how Seireitei has completely vanished into thin air. Juha Bach mentions that their invasion was a success, he then asks if he’s familiar with his Kaiser Gesang.

He mentions that it’s when the Sealed King of the Quincy whose heart began beating again after nine centuries, whose reason and intelligence followed nine decades later and whose strength came back after nine years after that. Juha Bach mentions that there is something missing from the end, he repeats it and mentions that the King finally conquered the world nine days later! He mentions that from today and nine days later, he will have already taken the world. Bleach 546 ends here.

What a crazy chapter, and it’s all about to get down also, this is amazing! Can’t wait to see even more action from Kubo! This is going to be epic! However we’ll have to wait 5 weeks before getting more since Kubo is taking this break in order to set up how the Final Arc should really end. Can’t wait for the next Bleach 547 when it’s released!

Ichigo Kurosaki goes in and out from his Inner World, every time he goes in, he comes out a changed man. Every time he talks to Zangetsu, or now known as a younger Juha Bach as well as Hollow Ichigo, he either gains a newer and better power which he’ll be able to defeat his opponent, from his fight against Zaraki to his upcoming battle against the Quincies. He’ll always be with his companions in his inner world!

The incredible image above was done by SilverCore94 who’s done an incredible job of showing us this cool moment. If you like the above image, you should go and check out his profile, he’s got a ton of great and amazing artwork based on a lot of amazing anime’s, definitely worth a check.

The Prince of Light (Prinz des Lichts), Uryu Ishida has become Juha Bach’s underling in which he will replace Juha Bach and become Stern Ritter A. Many Quincy’s disagree with this choice and therefore could lead to some disagreement later on. However at the moment, the Prince of Light, titled by author, will have to prove himself as the right leader when the King is no longer at his throne. Uryu Ishida will have to prove himself as both strong and worthy to all.

The amazing artwork above was once again done by a favourite of mine, IFrAgMenTIx. If you like this work, please do check him out. Also I’d like to thank Nakim on Facebook for telling me about this awesome artwork. If you can’t wait for Uryu’s battle, tell us who you think his first opponent will be using the comment section.

Bleach 554 gives the Stern Ritters and Quincy’s a great advantage once more. It’s mentioned that after the stolen Bankai’s are returned to their respective owners. The Stern Ritters gain the ability to open up their Quincy Vollstandig (Literally Meaning Complete), which from what we saw with Kirge Opie, it’s something that can’t be easily defeated. Both Komamura and Shinji face Bambietta to which she enables her Quincy Vollstandig, at the same time Juha Bach had predicted this to which he see’s a number of Vollstandig get enabled!

Bleach 554 begins as Bazz-B notices that Cang Du has already been defeated, from what he previously said, he’s now easily been defeated. He seems to be headed that way too. Toshiro notices that it’s over, and that he goes to Matsumoto to help her. Uryu asks if the Bankai’s have returned to their respective Shinigami’s. To which Uryu mentions that he expected this.

Bambietta Basterbine walks on destroying everything in her way. She mentions that it’ stupid that they’re unhappy that they’ve lost something that didn’t even belong to them. She mentions that her opponent, Komamura isn’t even in Seireitei, the Bankai that left her flew somewhere. She looks back to notice that there is nowhere where she is, she gets pissed off that she’s been talking to herself. And goes crazy calling her girls over there, to which a large explosion is created.

She mentions that she prepared to turn this place into ground zero when Komamura appears, he’s now wearing armor as well as his mask, she mentions that he got there fast considering how far away he was. She asks why he’s got a mask on, he mentions that it’s a gift. Bambietta mentions that she’s going to take it off for him, she mentions that his sense of timing is bad, he’s suppose to get there when Seireitei is about to get leveled. Shinji shows up to mention that if their timing is bad then they aren’t cut out to be heroes.

Shinji also mentions that he isn’t the patient type and he’s not waiting for Seireitei to get turned upside down. Bambietta asks him who he is, out of nowhere Bambietta’s senses change and it’s all turned upside down, she asks what she’s gotten herself into. Shinji mentions that it’s his Zanpakuto, everything is inverted back to front, to which he’s also been practicing inverting his words.

Bambietta mentions that something like that won’t do anything to her, when Shinji tells her it’s not going to work. Shinji mentions that he gets no pleasure on messing around with her, so don’t force him hands. Juha Bach continues on mentioning that he predicted for the Shinigami’s to get their Bankai’s back, Bambietta notices something when Shinji asks himself what she’s doing. Juha Bach mentions that he also expected the Stern Ritters to also get even stronger.

From which Bambietta Basterbine enables her Quincy Vollstandig! She mentions that they weren’t able to use this while having their Bankai’s, therefore after they stole it back, they gave them the ability to reuse their most powerful technique! She mentions that they will come to regret this, having taken their Bankai’s back, in what they call their warmth and hope, they will face great battles. Juha Bach mentions that they’ll experience true despair.  Urahara receives a call from Ichigo! Bleach 554 ends here.

What an awesome chapter, Ichigo is already getting involved, some of the Stern Ritters are already getting prepared to fight back, while the Captains have their Bankai’s back, it seem that they will definitely be pushed in order to call their majestic Bankai’s, to which we’ll finally see it against the different Quincy Vollstandig! Can’t wait for Bleach 555, a number I’ve been looking for!

Bleach 559 begins with Shunsui and Haschwalth to which the barrier is broken, however he realises that the next one is a trap and thus goes to use more power when he is summoned by Juha Bach. Cang Du and BG9 were revived and their judgement lays upon them. Cang Du does die by the first strike however he uses his technique to cut Cang Du in half. BG9 is next. It’s noticed that there are two lights above to which Rukia and Renji both arrive in style. Who will they fights first?

Bleach 559 begins with Haschwalth mentioning that the battle is truly in flux. Shunsui agrees to this. Jugram mentions that him coming there would have been meaningless were that not that case. His role is to tip the balance, Shunsui protects his subordinate and the Reishi barrier is broken. He was able to take the reishi from his side and then break it.

It’s a good technique used to the barrier, to which another barrier is placed. At the same time she was to build another wall. Jugram mentions this this wall is a lot more fragile than the previous one, he quickly mentions that such a fragile wall could only mean that there is a trap within it. He has no choice but to use a more violent way.

A circular Quincy sign appears behind Jugram to which he understands what’s going on. He’s been given an order to return to the Silbern thus he begins to live. Shunsui mentions if he’s really going to stop playing after coming all that way. He mentions that Juha Bach’s will is absolute.

He mentions when he can expect him to return, which is as soon as his order has finished. Shunsui mentions that next time he’ll have some choice of tea prepared, although welcoming it seems that Shunsui will also be prepared. We see Madarame and Yumichika together to which they talk about how night has arrived.

There are more shadows to which shit is about to hit the fan. Hisagi shows up and notices both of them there. Hisagi mentions that he got lost and has no knowledge about the terrain. It’s best not to move recklessly at night. Moving at night is playing right into their hands. Mask De Masculine appears.

We go to the castle to which we see Cang Du and BG9 both knocked down. Their judgement of the defeated will now commence. BG9 begins to bed mentioning that he can still fight. Juha Bach mentions that it was fortunate that you were able to escape with their lives. However the scales of battle must be balanced. A life saved by fortune must pay with an equal amount of misfortune.

Haschwalth goes for his attack on Cang Du, to which it doesn’t even hurt him, is technique being the Iron, blade such as Haschwalth will do nothing. He will not be killed by any hands other than his majesty’s he mentions. Haschwalth releases his second show of fortune to which Cang Du notices something behind him. A large tipping scale to which it seems that this time the tipping scale has favoured their judgement.

We see Mask De Masculine get all three of them in an attack, Hisagi, Madarame and Yumichika. He seems to have downed them. They seem to have care of all the confirmed levels, he talks to James to which he’s sad that there are no audience there. He notices a light above him, to which two beings come down, both being Renji and Rukia. they looks awesome at this moment! Bleach 559 ends here.

What an awesome chapter which just been read, Rukia and Renji are all ready to kick some ass, as well as wait for Ichigo to show everyone his true abilities. It should be amazing! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 560! It should be epic, I can’t wait!
