Apparently the pic with Noitora being #2 is fake but I thought I'd post it in case it isn't.

So anyway, if Noitora is #5 that is extremely disappointing since that means Ichigo is merely climbing the ladder and it's becoming predictable (if it wasn't already).

Spoiler pics need to be posted as links, and spoiler warnings in the post itself instead of the thread title. Also try not to discuss the pics in the first post, wait till someone has posted and then comment on them

I had a feeling Noitora was either 3 or 5. Though any sort of interaction with Ulquiorra would have made it obvious if he was ranked higher or lower than Ulquiorra.

And since he is apparently 5, I would think that Grimmjow's death would be permanent now.

[TheBladeChild]

I really hope this doesnt lead to Ichigo beating Noitora then right away fighting Ulquiorra. I mean that would be extremely BS if he beat all three in a row.

[Kitsune]

Its already BS and with all the crap thats been happening recently i figure its still possible. Kubo is becoming pretty dissapointing:(

[FullMetalAlchemist]

Lets pray someone atleast comes to either save or give ichigo time to escape because he should have no chance against this guy after the grimjaw fight, if he ends up fighting and winning this fight out of no where i will lose a lilttle hope for this series. Or even worse this guy will WTF pwn ichigo and then leave him on the ground alive like almost every enemy he has gotten his ass kicked by has done, to later face him when he gets a power up leading to there ass getting kicked.

I'm hoping the Vaizard's pop in and do a rescue. I mean ichigo's technically rescued Inoune I think it's time to be over and done with this stupid arc. Only thing I remotely liked in the entire Heuco Mundo arc has been the grim jaw flashbacks (in all honestly they were the only things that gave us any understanding of how things work in Hueco Mundo pre-Aizen) the rest of it has just been eehhh. Time to be done with it.

Wonder what Chad and Rukia are up to? Have they just been lying their slowly bleeding out this whole time?

Ok Noitora is #2

Completely agree with you that this is VERY dissappointing. I was hoping Noitora was a high number. This would have made it much more interesting. But clearly the #2 picture is a fake as you pointed out. Let's hope that there will be at least some sort of explanation in this chapter about how numbers 1-5 are actually vastolordes and are completely different from the rest of the espada (Or something of that nature).
**Still keeps fingers crossed hoping Stark is the #1 espada. Would hate it if it turned out to be the old guy or anyone else for that matter**

I really wanted Noitora to be #2 since right now Kubo is basically writing the manga with without putting thought into it. It's getting way too predictable. I mean there are some things that are given such as, Ichigo isn't gonna die, even when it looks like he is, but now with Noitora being #5, it just means that Ichigo's gonna climb up the ladder and go 6,5,4,3,2,1 which is boring.

[itadakimasu]

when i read this chapter ichigo seemed to be doing just fine... and didn't show any fatigue from his fight with grimmjow... *sigh*

i think thought that this guy might retreat having had his subordinate take inoue back.
at any rate, it has gone downhill since the ichigo ulqiuora matchup that was inturupted.
