History WMG / BleachShikaiOpenTwo

** You know what? This Troper believes you, and thinks it's true to at least some extent for the other two big and popular shonen, Naruto and One Piece. This is why I can't stand the bashing for Kishimoto and Kubo; having to keep drawing a series you obviously don't care about anymore for the sake of proffesionalism and keeping face would probably seriously suck, on top of the deadlines and crazy fans. Those guys are human too you know. You'd probably hate the situation enough to delibately sabotage your own series too. (Although Oda seems to be dealing with it by making the pace insanely fast and resolving as much as possible in a relatively short period of time; you can still tell he wants it to end pretty soon without ruining the quality of the story.)

** Alternatively, Cain and Abel were actually the same person with split personality and... hang on. [[Manga/{{Shiki}} Wrong anime]].

** [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Kyon]], you say?

** This could probably be a side-effect of [[ShipToShipCombat Wild Mass Shipping]] [[UpToEleven blowing it out of proportion]], but it is possible that Orihime is just plain confused as well.

[[SchoolgirlLesbians Chizuru]] alone is pretty good enough proof that he is a YuriFan. But there is of course the [[ClingyJealousGirl infamous subtext]] regarding about how Soi Fon can be regarding Yoruichi. And remember that infamous scene with Matsumoto and Orihime in which Orihime is crying on Matsumoto? Sounds innocent right? Well Orihime was crying on Matsumoto's breasts while Matsumoto is completely nude. (And to make the Yuri undertones a little bit more clear is before that Matsumoto was doing a suggestive pose while nude on top of Orihime after when she was done tickling here. Which was a bit more blatant in the Manga.) However Bleach is {{Shounen}} so Kubo had to tone it down. But if Bleach was a {{Seinen}} series one could only wonder what Kubo Tite would have done in that regard.

** Third. I've been thinking about this ever since [[http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/bleach/4/228/3 the cover]] for chapter 228.

** This could probably be a side-effect of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShipToShipCombat Wild Mass Shipping]] [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UpToEleven blowing it out of proportion]], but it is possible that Orihime is just plain confused as well.

We all saw Kenpachi practically slice the guy in half and it was pretty clear that he was a goner, yet [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/bleach/v35/c313/7.html Chapter 313 shows him shedding a tear for Nnoitra...]] If he is alive, I have a feeling he'll do a HeelFaceTurn. Aside from Nel and the Great Desert Bros, the guy's arguably the least evil of the Arrancars we've seen. He was just following orders.

Arrancars' Resurrecion allows them to use their abilities. It's entirely likely that Grand Fisher still has the ability to use the lure that he did as a hollow, and, as it is revealed in the manga, [[http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/24/13/ he can jump to the other part if one is injured]]. It's possible that he somehow jumped to the lure to escape certain death at Isshin's hands and is waiting for a chance to finish his fight with Ichigo.

*** Take into account that Ichigo [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperpowerLottery has a part of nearly every important plot species]] inside his soul. He's part human, hollow (Aizen's failed hollowfication "White"), Quincy (from his mother's side), Soul Reaper (from dad, Rukia, the 13 Gotei, AND his own), and Fullbringer.

* Aizen does in fact say that he set up a puppet show in Central 46. See [[http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/176/15/ here]]. To quote "illusion of the 46 chambers holding a meeting, alive and well".

Jossed: That's not how you create the King's Key. They all [[spoiler: died, more because Aizen decided [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they were expendable]]]]

* [[http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/381/15/ It's Confirmed she has.]] She knows how to completely bypass it. I think this counts as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Unohana

Two notable examples are Grand Fisher and Zommari Leroux. When we see both of them die in the manga, they disintegrate like this:

http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/188/01/

Ulquiorra does this:

I heard that Kubo mentioned ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' was an inspiration for him; and Unohana even said that he must not see Aizen's shikai, [[http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/381/16/ no matter what]].

* And #4; according to [[http://mangastream.com/read/bleach/36615093/5 Mayuri]] , only one party were capable of destroying hollows, meaning that it's the work of "'''''THEM''''' and them alone"

* [[CrazyAwesome AWESOME.]]

* [[http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/381/15/ It's Confirmed she has.]] She knows how to completely bypass it. I think this counts as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Unohana

So Kenpachi kicks its ass [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome and banishes it from his sword.]] Now he can be stronger - while still maintaining his main character.

[[WMG: Komamura will get a CrowningMomentOfAwesome versus the Stern Ritter who stole his Bankai.]]

I asked one question in JustBugsMe - why, after loosing his Quincy powers to final form, didn't Ishida just go to Orihime so that she could restore his powers? If she can bring back the freaking dead(at least sometimes) then restoring his Quincy powers should be a piece of cake.\\

His shikai is making a children's game deadly. His bankai is basically twisting a fable and making it deadly. He doesn't have just one game to choose from. Based on that, there are multiple stories he ''could'' tell from his bankai, that were not practical in any situation. Given how unwieldy the one story he told is, it makes sense that the others would be just as bad, if not worse. Consider that the story affects multiple people, including himself, and damages everyone. What does this sound like? Irooni. The theory is that he has bankai equivalent "stories" for each game. Considering Irooni is arguably the weakest game (It does no damage and has no effect on its own; it requires basic melee attacks anyway, it just mixes things up), the stories that correspond with the other games must be ''nightmarish'' and have an effect that can only be used as a literal last resort, [[Fridge Brilliance just like Yamamoto's Bankai.]]

This is because of what Hell in and of itself is, in regards to the afterlife; a jail for the worst of the worst souls. Now that is all well and good, but that's all we get. Hell Verse does give us some other cues to the functions of Hell, but yeah, it's just a jail. So, why aren't the Shinigami breaking down the barriers to bust out these souls, as we have seen, Soul Society does actually have it's own incarceration facilities, and with the whole 'Chains of Hell' no soul gets out, ever. Death, which would normally send a soul back into the cycle of reincarnation, doesn't work, as the soul is still stuck by the chains. In fact the only ones who can break the chains (barring Ichigo because main character status etc) are the Kushanada/those recognised by the Kushanada. Now while that is all well and good for the greater good, does anybody remember why the Quinceys were a problem? Because they upset the balance by removing souls from the cycle, much like Hell does. Thus, through reasoning, by what we've seen thus far of the functions of the afterlives (Hell, Soul Society & Hueco Mundo) Hell also allows souls to reincarnate, but only AFTER the achieve redemption. How this is done, no clue, but if anyone in the series has done so, then it'd be Orihime. Why? Well allow me to answer that with...

* Or maybe ''worse'': His real plan is ''not'' to destroy Karakura town, but saturating it with spiritual particles, summoning ''[[CannotGraspTrueForm something....]]''

* So Shinigami are [[DragonballZ Saiyans]]? It explains so much!

** Alternatively, Cain and Abel were actually the same person with split personality and... hang on. [[{{Shiki}} Wrong anime]].

* So, Chad's [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]]?

I heard that Kubo mentioned SaintSeiya was an inspiration for him; and Unohana even said that he must not see Aizen's shikai, [[http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/381/16/ no matter what]].

My thought is that Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are in the same realm, just really, really far apart- far enough that the souls in either location don't realise it- and the different methods of travel to and from the Real World are just different tewhines that do basicly the same thing but with cosmetic differences, like shunpo/sonido. The realm they're in (possibly also containing other groups like Hueco Mundo and Soul Society) is actually Purgatory, the place souls go when they're waiting to be judged; if they haven't been notable enough in the Living WOrld to move on directly to Heaven or Hell, they have enough time in Soul Society/Hueco Mundo for that to be determined. Eventually souls, having been through their reward or punishment, are then returned to the Living World to start over.

** Depending on the translation it can also be "Your bankai is not something to be used out in the open like this", "Your bankai isn't something that should be used in a place like this where people will see it" or "That bankai of yours shouldn't be revealed with these many eyes lurking about". The implication seems to be that it's all those things - dangerous to people around, something that should remain secret(or is forbidden somehow) or it could work similarly to Kyouka Suigetsu. Really, it's hard to tell what exactly will that thing do, except that it will probably be BadAss.

[[BadAss So Kenpachi kicks its ass]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome and banishes it from his sword.]] Now he can be stronger - while still maintaining his main character.

She was a (probably intentionally) imperfect copy made to help Yoruichi feel better about beign unable to return to the ranks of the shinigami assassins with only [[CloudCuckooLander Urahara]] to comfort her. Ururu may be slightly flanderized from what Urahara recalls of Soi Fon, but she is really focused, and follows orders possibly too well for her own good. Also, [[spoiler: their strongest weapon shown is a freaking RPG]].

Sorry shippers, but if it doesn't qualify as a RomanticPlotTumor, I don't know what does. I've read the story from the beginning, and the hypothetical romantic feelings between Ichigo and Rukia and/or Ichigo and Orihime do NOTHING for the story. It all feels like a smarmy, emotionally manipulative writing tactic to get more girls to buy the manga.
