@King Zeal: I knew that, but I wasn't sure if other people wouldn't misunderstand that response somehow, and it's a somewhat sensitive topic.

That still makes me question the soul king. If yama and the old guard were the ones who stabilized everything, then what was the soul king doing?

Did he pop in after yama and co. were done and say, " Oh, this is pretty nice, I think Ill be king."

Grimjoe - Come one, after his sudden disappearance last arc I'm curious what happened to him.

He was implied to be the one who killed Kirge and was the one who interrupted Kisuke and Ichigo's little video chat.

Do arrancar's level up via eating other hollows?

Sizzle lost his 0 spot by casting out del toro. Then I thought he gained spot 8 by science hax but didn't get stronger. So is Grimmj who was defeated by Ichi 3 training arcs ago, strong enough to beat the quincy that nearly beat Ichi?

[up][up] I think you meant "10 spot", not "0 spot". And it's canon that Arrancar can improve their strength; look at Nnoitra and how he both advanced in power since his Octava days and how his own Zanpakuto's shape changed from those days.

I don't know if we can really say that Ichigo's that much stronger than when he fought Grimmjow, we don't really have any good measuring sticks.

Also, Quilge was very much running on fumes at that point. He didn't beat him so much as finished him off.

[up][up]... Woah, if Szayel was the Cero Espada back then, then those must've been some shitty Espada, and his demotion may have been before Nnoitra joined the ranks.

I remember reading somewhere that Arrancar never need training. They're just instantly masters of their abilities. No idea how the Espada gain or lose ranks, though.

[up][up] Injuries? If their bodies are concentrations of souls, losing a chunk loses them some power.

Thus One-armed Grimmy the not-Espada. Somehow. I mean, that didn't really make sense but there you go.

Same thing with Cirucci right? Although that begs the question of how she knew it was a one off technique...

And training only works if you're Ichigo's friend. That's why Hitsu got stronger and Renji and Chad and Uryu stayed so weak. They're not really his friends.

Dude, they like totally bonded over their instinct to shoulder burdens from their past and hide their feelings from their loved ones. Did you not see Diamond Dust Rebellion?

Yeah, I think the consensus goes: Diamond Dust, Memories, Fade to Black, Hell.

But it's subjective, natch.

I think Fade to Black has the best captains vs filler army fight. Then Memories, Diamond Dust, Hell.

Ummm how long has it been since Hell verse? aren't we due for another movie within 2ish years?

#43145: Jan 30th 2013 at 2:10:58 PM

I'd persona rank the movies Hellverse, Diamond Dust, Memories, Fade.

Hellverse because Kokuto, Diamond Dust because of the development it gave Hitsugaya, and a somewhat compelling villain, Memories because Senna, and Fade because I haven't seen it.

[up]Doubtful they'd make another movie, what with the anime not being a thing anymore and whatnot.

I had thought the anime was coming back for a "final chapter." No?

So everyone being surprised that Unohana isn't teaching Kenpachi how to fight... did you totally miss Kyoraku saying he lied when he said that or what?

For me, the movies go in reverse order of their release, Hell Chapter, Fade to Black, DiamondDust Rebellion, Memories of Nobody.

Keep in mind that whoever killed Quilge doesn't even need to be that strong, he could've been in Blut Arterie mode and as such susceptible to damage.
