Bleach 52 One Hour Special RAW

[Munsu]

he basically is a long range type of fighter... which as XanBcoo said, it is looked-down by the 11th Squad...

So he basically is deserving of the 3rd seat in the division, and he might even be the second seat in other squads...

"you cannot capture me who was born without light."

Haha, I actually thought he was referencing his skin color there. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Pretty boy is acutally pretty tough when he releases his sword. He is supposed to holed 3rd seat I believe like Bud said but he doesnt like the way the number looks or something.

He's 5ths seat because its the next lowest number that looks like his favorite number in japanese (i think he likes number 2).

It'ts not COMPLETLEY that his slayer is a long range one, its just not a direct attack like strength wise. Its strong it is own regard though.

[XanBcoo]

He likes number 3, but chose 5. Funny enough, 3 and 5 look a little similar in Arabic numerals as well [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Also, does anyone else not understand why the third method of becoming a captain exists?? It's insane IMO. They could appoint a madman as a captain based solely on his strength. It's like becoming a general in an army by killing the other general. Makes no sense to me.

Having stronger people means that you'll have more control and less worries when threats come. You gotta have at least a few people who have massive brute strength.

[Augury]

But then how else could Zaraki's captainship be justified by the series? There has to be a mechanism to get a crazy guy into that position for the story -- if the character created is crazy. Also, say that the rule didn't exist... then some unfortunate division captain would have this insanely strong madman in his troops. Yamamoto probably figures that if the captains get out of line he can control them.

Kurotsuchi (or however you spell the 12th division captain's name) is likely a worse candidate than Zaraki: that guy sacrifices his own men in combat without a second thought. At least Zaraki confronts the enemy and defects only after he has lost / tied. I get the impression that he hasn't lost a fight before from his bells / eyepatch / give-me-your-best-shot etc attitude.

No, they dont look similar.

Now I think Byakuya and Ichimaru are both in on it.

Rukia menioning all those meetings between Ichimaru Gin and Kuchuki Byakuya support this theory but I think Gin is tagging along with Byakuya for now and when the time comes he will ditch him as well.

Oops. I don't know why I said Arabic. I meant European. >.<

@Kensee: I understand the third method, I just think it's dumb to allow someone to become a captain of a whole Squad that way.

[Roko]

That was one awesome episode, what with all the bankais. Zaraki and Ichimaru gave me a good laugh. Helmet guy as a beast was certainly surprising...didn't think there were life-size talking animals in Bleach. Tousen was cool, although he seems a little weak (maybe it was because Zaraki is just so insanely strong). Renji losing sorta sucked; wonder what his next move will be. I predict that in the next episode, Yachiru and crew will interrupt Rukia's little ceremony, since we didn't really see them the second half. Can't wait to see the conclusion of all these ongoing battles with the captains and VCs.

[Board of Command]

Well we certainly saw some weird bankais. Renji's bankai was extremely similar to that weird captain's (forgot name), but Tousen's was weird.

Now I think Byakuya and Ichimaru are both in on it.

[Kensee]

You have to defeat a captain in front of everyone.
Kenpachi took it one step further and KILLED the previous captain. You can kinda figure this by reading Tossen's reaction, if all the other capatains killed their successors before hand then he wouldnt call Kenpachi a madman UNLESS

1) Kenpachi was the first one to challenge/kill a capatian to take their place.
or
2) Kenpachi was only supposed to defeat the capatain but instead ran through him.

[Hakeem_21]

This was the first ep in while that was really good. Renji vs Bakuya and Zaraki's fight was aweome. I liked Zaraki before but now he is my fav,he is so awesome [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]


I like Tousen and not just cause he is black.....

I hope in the next ep Kenpachi takes out his bankai.

He doesnt even know his soul slayer's name.

[Terracosmo]

What bankai?

[Hakeem_21]

Yeah but he most develop his skills. He cant go on with just spirit force, brute force and expect to beat Bakuaya,Ichimaru.

Maybe he knows his slayer's name now and can use it fully and sometime later he will be able to use bankai. I mean if Ichigo and even Renji can why not Kenpachi.

I only think he knows his slayer's name cause he looked like he was ashamed that he didnt know aftr Ichigo beat,so mybe he has trained to be able use his slayer's better.


Atleast thats what i hope. It would suck if Kenpachi didnt get any better.

I am also hoping that he can achieve his bankai. Sooner or later Zaraki will find Ichigo to have another re-match. Since Ichigo is close to reaching his bankai it would be unfair on Zaraki to fight just with his spirit force. That wont be enough to even hold back Ichigo because he has become much more stronger.

[Hakeem_21]

But i dont care about him fighting Ichigo since that fight is unfair even if Ichigo wasnt stronger by the time they fight again. Since ichigo would win anyway cause he is the main....'

I want to see Kenpachi fighting other captain's with his slayer's true form and bankai so he can kick some ass. He can win other captain but not the main character so i want so see him in a fight he can actually win.

[Dionysos]

he definitely doesnt know the name of his soulslayer. And i dont think that he will get it in the near future, because he would be way too strong for the series at the moment.

[masamuneehs]

Hakeem, maybe you've read ahead in the manga, or maybe you just need to get your ears cleaned out:

ZARAKI KENPACHI CANNOT ACHIEVE SHIKAI LET ALONE BANKAI! HE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HIS ZANPAKTAOU'S NAME!

Not like i'd know either... but last we saw Kenpachi was nowhere near Shi-Kai. his Zanpaktous is still tattered and worn to the nail, I can't imagine he's changed that much in his relationship with this sword....

[XanBcoo]

'Sides, I think it'd be cooler if he DIDN'T have shikai or bankai, and he still kicked all that ass.
