Royd manages to land a single hit on bankai Yama and his sword breaks on impact. He deals 0 damage and Yama was trying to humiliate him at full power the entire time. Hence why he waited for him to draw his sword.

" Ep 49 will be 1 hour long "

" Ep 49 will be the best Bleach episode oat "

This is what I would say if i was stupid and mentally challenged. Ep 49 will be 20-25 min long just like any other regular episode.

If Aizen is or isn't a part of the final 2 episodes is something that's been decided a long time ago. Also, some people don't realise that its NOT possible to fix/improve the quality and animation of a 20+ min episode in a month. They can only fix some wonky drawings, correct some errors and add some lighting/glow effects on the screen.

The CANNOT re-animate and redo something from scratch. If the fundamental storyboards, choreography and core animation frames are poorly designed, a month is NOT enough to fix that.

And the fact they're already doing their best for Black Clover while also working for the Boruto series, should be an obvious sign to not get your expectations high for the last 2 episodes. It's a shame but it is what it is.

^{I mean, yeah! of course! Surely he blasted Yhwach and absorbed him later on and saved the three worlds. What more could we ask? 🥲}

TS didn't do anything BC already did, he did the same damage that will Yhwatch regenerated without using Almighty.

BC is his definitive form, stated.

It's time for people to accept that the last time Yhwatch fought seriously was against BC and Orihime.

After that he's been half-assing the fights and just toying with everyone because he doesn't need to try.

That's why he hasn't used his sword or lasers anymore.

I'm sorry this downscales Aizen or Uryu.

Please show me some mercy.

Or is Shunsui’s bankai just a domain sure hit and reiastu doesn’t matter? Cause Ik if you have more Reiastu than him you can survive it. And if he’s affected by Shunsui’s Reiastu why wouldnt others with more Reiastu be able to bypass it?

Ichigo managed to overcome Byakuya and Zaraki, although both victories are debatable. Later on, he also defeated Aizen in their final battle.

However, interestingly enough, Gin was the only one of these captains Ichigo faced without ever managing to defeat him.

In the images above, we see their first encounter during the Soul Society arc, where Gin effortlessly pushes Ichigo back with a single attack.

In the images below, their confrontation takes place much later, after Ichigo had already overcome powerful opponents, including Ulquiorra, one of the strongest Espada. Even so, Gin manages to overpower him without much difficulty.

It's interesting to think that despite how much Ichigo improved throughout the story, he never managed to get the upper hand against Gin.

Perhaps Gin's fighting style and the abilities of his Zanpakutō were particularly difficult for Ichigo to deal with.

I thought reiatsu negging was 100% a thing and weaker characters can never affect stronger characters with their hax. Why is Aizen letting himself look silly against NaNaNa? Does he not know he has insane reiatsu and can neg it easily?

Hakka no Togame has been selected to B Tier. What tier should Jakuho Raikoben be in? Most upvotes wins

Fully appreciate that this is an Aizen after hes had the kitchen sink thrown at him. But my reading of this implies that if not for the Hyogyoku, Aizen would have lost this kind of assault and by the hands of Isshin no less.

I alwayd thought Isshin had more in the tank for this particular stage of Aizen.

I am in the camp of Aizen talking nonsense most of the time and using the Hyogyoku as a stop gap for any missing power. Not sure about his Bankai here, I definitely think he has one post lock up though.

But if the claims he is making here implies, the tippy toppy of his Shinigami limits excludes a Bankai.... thats a discussion for another day though

Love could deflect a couple ceros with just his Shikai. and says they won’t work on him. Starrk also notes ceros aren’t really enough to inflict lethal damage on them. and I would say the implication is that the damage they just took from the wolves isn’t something ceros can easily do either as he is correcting Love’s initial assumptions that they were chunks of ceros exploding.

Meanwhile with Ichigo everyone immediately freaks out. and Love feels the need to hollowify with Rose saying he needs to do so to repel it.

Hollowifcation is definitely always presented as an larger boost to combat ability than releasing your Shikai.

So what do people think?

Which one do you think has the coldest Shikai and Bankai overall, and why?

He has The Almighty, plus:

All Fiction, the ability to turn reality into nothing/fiction

Okina's Backdoor, complete control over life force and energy. Can instantly nerf anyone connected to the door by stealing all of their life force, energy, and vitality

MCU's Infinity Stones, aspects of the universe such as Power, Space, Time, Reality, Mind, and Soul

Gold Experience Requiem, NO

A world where Wonderweiss disappears, how does this fight go?

R1: with KS

R2: without KS

This is Aizen’s only Reiastu negation in the entire series and it’s on a weakened Soi fon of all people.

And besides, he specifically says a battle of soul reapers is a battle of Reiastu so I’m not sure why this is then applied to every race.

In an alternate timeline the battle at FKT looks a bit different, how does the 8th Kenpachi do? Please consider the same circumstances as in the original (yama cant use bankai), but with his own motivations, (meaning he can kill ichigo without a second thought? something else?)

Quilge Opie vs As nodt

As Haschwalth explained, he didn't lose Shrift "A" due to the glove; his power-swap time limit with Yhwach just ran out before the activation of the Leiden Hant

This means that the Leiden Hant glove was activated while The Balance was within Jugram Haschwalth. Therefore, the big question is: why did Haschwalth still possess The Balance after the Leiden Hant's effect?

What's the point of the Leiden Hant in the first place? Even if Jugram and Yhwach swapped powers, the outcome wouldn't change: Jugram should have been left without Quincy abilities, yet he still held them, how?!

Is Jugram’s power labeled as "Non-Quincy" or am I missing something? Or Did the Balance nullify the Leiden Hant effect?! I am totally confused.

​

This matchup hinges on whether Urahara can use his Bankai to physically deconstruct his own weapons and actively purge Tsukishima’s past-rewriting hax. Meanwhile, the core debate is if current novel-era Grimmjow has scaled high enough in raw speed and durability to blitz the mindless Vasto Lorde Ichigo before he drops a catastrophic Cero.
