I hope Soi Fon dies. I also thinks Aizen is stalling or something. Maybe the espada are actually adjuchas and the real vasto lordes are waiting in the wings. Maybe Aizen just wants to wear out the captains/slash kill a few, so the vasto lordes can tear through. I think thats when the Vizards will show up.



>_< please dont wish that on us..... that'll be another 500 chapters.....


That really would drag things out, but it is odd that he decided to attack all of the sudden, without the Vasto Lorde. I think he even mentioned to Gin that he wanted to get them on his side before attacking.

Yes he said something like that in the chapter 213.


I don't think there any Vastrolorde for the moment because the captains can handle with the top of the Espada.
A Vastrolorde is already better than a captain, so an arrancar Vastrolorde would be far better than a captain.

Maybe Stark or Yami are Vastrolordes because we didn't really see them fighting but I'm sure that Hallibell and Barragan are just Adjuchas.

As for the characters introduced in Hueco Mundo, I despise several of them, and not in the way I'm supposed to. I don't hate them because they're evil. I hate them because they're just repeats of the Gotei 13 captains. Grimmjow is pretty much the same as Kenpachi, Ulquiorra was much like Byakuya, Granz was the same as Mayuri (execpt their view on perfection), and so on.


yay, that annoyed the fuck outta me too. and the fact that in almost every single fight btw the espada and heros, they were just fighting their evil counter-parts...

Meh.
And what exactly is Soi Fon's Bankai? A rocket launcher or what?

Oh yeah, I didn't comment on the bankai I wanted to see so much o.o Go me.
Well...I thought it was pretty cool in itself, although too big for Soi Fon and too little subtle for an assassination squad captain. It would be more fitting for someone like...I don't know, Kuukaku, Ganju or Renji xP

And Ukitake gained another point in my book xD 'That's the spirit!'

I hope this is not her definitive bankai's form -__-'
She said something like "I would have prefered not to use this bankai", maybe this was a translation mistake but maybe she has another bankai like Byakuya.

People keep complaning about how Soi Fon's bankai doesn't suit her at all cuz she's from special ops. Since when it was supposed to? And actually, I think it does suit her.

She's a temperamental b...., blasting a foe in the face with a big gun is surely what she would like. She only became that serious and "emotionless" after Yoruichi left SS.

What sucks is her bankai looking lame like that. Its like she had a V rocket launcher vehicle from Command & Conquer on her arm, but instead of the missile it has a huge, pointy stick. =/

Then answer me this, what does it have to do with her Shikai. What is the connection between a 2 hit kill stinger and a bazooka? Kubo is just making up stuff in order to beat the opponent now.

I don't know, upgrade? Silent 2 hit kill to 1 person to flashy 1 Hit kill to anyone in range? It looks like a big explosive needle, but Kubo was too lazy to draw something decent, I can hardly tell wtf it was. So who knows?

But, LoL, seriously I don't doubt about that last part about Kubo.

What I meant was that, a person bankai's should not be changed or influenced by their position or role in Soul Society. A zanpakutou reflects part of ones soul, does it not? And not all shikai are really similar to their respective bankai. Ichigo's, Ikkaku's for example, and at the same time fit them.

I have to agree with R-Zero on this. Soi Fon wasn't born as the leader of the covert ops, and I hightly doubt her zanpakuto's spirit cares. Or, it might even take that form to spite her. That'd be pretty funny.

And I can see the connection. The shikai is two hit kill, the bankai is a one hit kill. Makes sense to me. It would've been better if the weapon had been needle-shaped. Or at least have wings or a hornet's head, something resembling a wasp or hornet. But, then again, Zangetsu doesn't look much like a moon. And Zabimaru, who's supposed to be a baboon/snake hybrid, is all snake and no baboon, except for a little fur, in both shikai and bankai.

I just think that the design looks terrible. Also, there are more imaginative ways for her to do a one hit kill than a giant bazooka.

One last comment on her bankai not fitting her role as the leader of the covert ops team: that was the entire point. That's exactly what Kubo set out to do, and that's exactly what he did.

It's really too bad Soi Fon's bankai is something like bazooka. Although it's not that bad, bit disappointed especially when it got me hype up for looking forward this week's chapter. Hope there's more in her bankai. Also, a bazooka to kill Barragan is actually quite hilarious if it's true.

The Ukitake part is funny but nothing more except that fraccion(forgot her name),only one left, sword been confisticated.

An ok chapter only.

Yeah, Soi fons bankai was odd...i wonder if it will be enough.
Ukikitake was really cute!

Oh,... the Ukitake part was abit funny but let's agree that he looked like a pedo messing with the poor Lillinette xD I guess he wanna piss her off really badly and then take advantage of that for her using her release and then crushing the poor girl with his Ban kai... or even Shikai... but I guess she's more the type of the more than meets the eye...

So then the fight between Barragan and Omaeda/Soi Fon rages on... and so Omaeda keeps on running and screaming like a little girl... Soi Fon is right... he deserves a beating just to get him uglier than he already is.... Or be killed by Barragan... But I guess that's impossible... No one dies on my Bleach... SO then Soi Fon has a Lasser Cannon as a Ban Kai? Oh man you gotta be kidding me... I didn't found it interesting... what interested me more was the fact that she was wearing a steel or whatever metal made thing for her waist!!! So she had a similar handicap as Goku or Piccoro as in DBZ!!! Interesting... that means she can do a hella lots of things with that Ban Kai for sure I wanna see Barragan crumpled to pieces!

HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT SUIT A STEALTH OPS CAPTAIN!?!
And is her bankai ANYTHING like her shikai? Isn't that kinda the point of a bankai?
Can you even call this a chapter? It's not as if he's dead now we all know how these fights work out. Goddamn Kubo Come on now! Put some freaking effort into it.

edit: It would be much better if she had some kind of Sniper Rifle weapon. A 1 hit kill except its really hard to use in a direct battle like this, so that's why she needed fatty to keep him occupied. You know, something that would FIT a stealth squad captain. See it's not THAT hard to come up with something other then LOL BAZOOKA!
well to be fair Soi Fon WAS always an attention whore for yoruichi. She just hid it well. Hence the small shikai and huge bankai fit her outward persona and her hidden personality respectively

How is that bankai related to her shikai at all? He Shikai kills in two stabs but her bankai is a big bazooka weapon for some reason?
