Also Can We Appreciate The Fact That Kazui Actually Knows About Shinigami (and Probably About The Soul

Oh, I haven't seen that Nanao art piece before, mistook it as Lisa there for a second haha!

Can't wait for more art from Kubo this year when Cour 3 airs.

I honestly wish they would animate some of the comics like as shorts! The pilots and early seasons of Ninjago didn't have the best pacing, while also skipping over fighting the skeletons as villains. That's what made the comics so good with how they characterized the ninja, while going into detail about the skeletons and the Stone Army, and even adding mature lore in later comics.

I’m never going to forgive the fandom for unanimously agreeing the comics aren’t canon even though their legitimately one of the best written ninjago media’s and have been referenced everywhere outside and inside the show itself

THE COMICS ARE GOOD AND IM

TIRED OF PRETENDING THERE NOT

Child of Demeter Congratulations and welcome to cabin 4! You are a demigod child of Demeter, goddess of the harvest and agriculture, presiding over crops, grains, food, and the fertility of the earth. As such you have a natural inclination toward the culinary arts and possess the ability to control plants, sense them, and make them grow faster. Additionally, but in rare cases, you might be able to teleport through plants and summon Karpoi and Satyrs to your aid. Something you can look forward to is working on the strawberry fields alongside cabin 12 and enjoying the first ripe strawberries.

Not bad, the quiz had some fun questions. I'll tag my mutuals if they want to try it out.

Ninjago rewatches always mess me up because I am now burdened with the knowledge that these two scenes were happening at roughly the same time on opposite sides of town

Aizen's Bankai

Did we see it?

Really. Could it be possible that his bankai was actually stealth shown in the manga but, in pure Aizen fashion, no one noticed?

First: his shikai.

We know pretty well how that works. Kyouka Suigetsu is the most powerful illusion-type zanpakutou in the same manner Hyorinmaru is the most powerful Ice-type and Ryuujinjakka is the most powerful fire-type. Unmatched and insurpassable in power, versatility and sheer excellence by any other of that type.

He's able to cast illusions on people that control all of their senses and make people see and hear and taste and smell and feel what he wants them to.

His most common use of it as we see it to make one person seem like another. Those random shinigami to appear to be him so he can be off doing other things and no one is the wiser. Hinamori during that Fake Karakura battle.

He can also make people deaf and blind to things. None of the captains an lieutenants were able to hear the screaming, pleading and defensive actions Hinamori and Ichigo certainly made as they brutalized her thinking she was Aizen. He hid all evidence of his own movements and the swap with Hinamori and made himself seem like he was Hinamori so he could stand back and watch, which naturally requires hiding his reiatsu.

Through that whole fight he coordinated the illusion among dozens of people to make that work. It's horrible what he did, but also and impressively tricky bit of choreography and precision skill. Cruel but brilliant.

So, in specific, he can think of an illusion he wants people to percieve as reality, or of a certain bit of reality he wants them to not notice, and anyone who has been brought under it's power by witnessing the shikai release (the main achilles heel to it - the fact that it needs that prerequisite to have any effect at all) is completely helpless to resist or see through it unless he releases them or they find the trick of touching Kyoka Suigetsu's blade.

All evidence indicates he is 100% in control of and cognizant of exactly what illusion he is making and what the person sees.

So then, how the hell does this panel make sense:

He had no idea what Ywach was seeing until he said it.

That doesn't make sense with what was previously established.

Not unless Aizen is using his bankai and his zanpakutou is a more pure expression of the philosophy of shikai and bankai like Rukia's.

Rukia's cold freezes herself in shikai and she's able to send blasts of it out through the tip of her blade. In bankai she throws that cold out into a large sphere around her, freezing everything along with herself.

If Aizen's shikai is him internally crafting illusions and putting them in peoples heads, then perhaps his bankai sends his power out and lets the target mind create the illusion itself. Maybe it works more like the Mandela effect - giving a vague suggestion of Aizen's chosing, and then the mind fills in the details and certainty.

Having the call come from inside the house would definitely make a more unquestioned illusion - one that could even trick and blind a man/monster able to look into the future. Ywach, after all, is looking for actions the people he's fighting are going to take in the future. He's there for an epic battle with himself as the hero and about to smite the foolhardy, and especially the one he's deemed the pinnacle of the resistance - Ichigo. He's never said to be able to see the consequences of his own actions - or if he can then he doesn't. He just uses the Almighty to learn what his opponent is going to do and then counteract it - he never actually looks forward at his own actions to see which will succeed or fail.

If Aizen quietly activated bankai previously, without it being noticed (and he of all people could definitely do that, even with an all-seeing god) and implanted a suggestion like don't see Ichigo or to swap the face of whoever is fighting him with someone else, and therefore made Ywach's own mind create a narrative he's expecting to see (the narrative of fighting and defeating Ichigo, the only man with the power to kill him once-and-for-all, and damn but that makes him sound like Voldemort) well...then there's nothing for him to see but his own reflected thoughts bouncing back from the future instead of the truth (that Ichigo is sneaking up behind him), is there?

So: in conclusion, I suggest Aizen did use his bankai and that his bankai throws a general shape of the illusion Aizen wants to cast/the effect he wants to have, but instead of him crafting the details it forces the victims mind to warp and create the illusion itself, making it more completely entrenched - possibly something with permanent effects that makes the person unable to accept any reality but that even after Aizen withdraws his influence.

What captains think about in their captain meetings

As requested by anon. :)

We already imagined what the espada think about in their meetings. But what might be on the captains’ minds during theirs?

1. Unohana

“Murder.”

“Murder.”

“Murder.”

“I really need to tell Isane what a nice job she did with those pillow covers. They are making all of the patients so happy, and that is so important.”

“Murder.”

2. Kensei

“I wonder what Mashiro is doing right now. Getting into trouble, probably.”

“Ugh she drives me nuts! Why did I want her to be my lieutenant again?”

“And Shuhei had better be working. Not daydreaming about Matsumoto like usual.”

“I need to get back to those idiots.”

“Why is Soi Fon glaring at me?”

3. Soi Fon

“Ugh. Kensei never pays attention in these meetings.”

“Of course, he’s a visored. Associated with Urahara Kisuke, so naturally he’s trouble.”

“I can’t BELIEVE the head captain let those visored come back.”

“Man, these meetings would be so much better if Yoruichi-sama had come back instead of those idiots.”

“I hope she does come back. She’ll see how strong I am. Love me. Be beautiful. Be - SOI FON STOP IT PAY ATTENTION!”

4. Aizen

“If only you knew, head captain, that during this meeting, I have come up with the next eleven steps of my plan.”

“And I narrated my own actions to myself the whole time. Because I am a multitasker”

“Aizen thought to himself. Smugly.”

“I can feel you watching me, Gin.”

“This meeting would be so much better with tea.”

5. Gin

“I will kill you dead, Aizen Sosuke.”

“Now that I know your weakness, I could do it anytime.”

“I could even do it…..right now.”

“But nah.”

“Never hurts to wait a while.”

5. Kenpachi

“This is dumb.”

“I don’t even know what’s going on.”

“Why do we even have these meetings?”

“Instead of meetings, we should all just fight each other.”

“I’d fight Kuchiki Byakuya so hard. That would be so awesome.”

6. Byakuya

“I can feel your eyes on me, barbarian.”

“I am going to have take such a long bath.”

“Hitsugaya is still wearing that scarf. Took the idea from me, of course.”

“I am a fashion icon.”

“Recognize.”

7. Hitsugaya

“Holyshitholyshitholyshit Kuchiki is looking at me.”

“Stand up straight, Hitsugaya. Be tall. Look smart.”

“As tall as you can, anyway.”

“Stop that! No short jokes in your own head!”

“I wonder if Kuchiki would be amused if I told him a short joke.”

“Maybe I should try that. One day.”

8. Komamura

“What an excellent point the head captain has made.”

“He is very wise as well as very strong.”

“I am glad that we can have these meetings so that I can see true leadership in action.”

“I hope that he is proud of me.”

“Maybe one day….he will pat me on the head as I have always dreamed.”

9. Shinji

“I did not miss these meetings. Ugh. It’s like being in school. Only standing up.”

“Like, at least in high school we had desks.”

“Although at least the head captain doesn’t give us homework. Homework sucks.”

“Okay well at least the meeting must be almost over. It’s been…….FIVE MINUTES?!?”

“I won’t survive this.”

10. Tosen

“I hate listening to you speak, Yamamoto Genryusai.”

“All you speak are lies.”

“There is no justice here.”

“There is no justice anywhere.”

“Except maybe with Komamura.”

11. Kyoraku

“I hope Ukitake is doing okay. Looks a bit wobbly.”

“I should go and have tea with him later. See how he’s doing.”

“If Nanao-chan will give me the time off, anyway!”

“Look at all these youngsters. Paying such good attention.”

“Hopefully no one can tell I’m not listening.”

12. Kurotsuchi

“I wonder what Komamura’s brain looks like.”

“If I gave Unohana my new adrenaline drug, would she snap and kill everyone, or just go after Kenpachi?”

“This meeting is going a ridiculously long time. I should make some more time drugs.”

“Maybe one to speed up time for these meetings. And one that stops time, just for fun.”

“Now which captain could I trick into testing them for me?”

13. Rose

“They say that if you imagine the end of a song, it will no longer be stuck in your head.”

“But what if it’s a song you’re writing, and it doesn’t have an end yet?”

“Then I guess it just stays in your head forever.”

“Like pain. And grief.”

“I wonder if bone would make a good guitar pick.”

14. Ukitake

“I’m so glad I felt well enough to be here!”

“A little wobbly, but that is okay.”

“Pretty sure Kiyone and Sentaro are right outside, so if I faint, they’ll come and collect me.”

“I should have tea with Kyoraku later. See how he’s doing.”

“Hopefully I’ll be well enough for that.”

Well damn

i was on the bleach subreddit (braver than the us marines etc etc) and someone pointed out that momo's sword transformed mid-swing without her calling for it, which is something that apparently only happens when someone's achieved bankai. MOMO BANKAI ANYONE...

Why Isane still went after Rose and Kensei's bodies

lmao the screenshots

My first thought was that she didn't believe Gremmy saying they were dead but then I read the chapters for this episode and she did scan their pulse so she know they were dead in the manga. Then, I remembered the Echoing Jaws of Hell Arc one-shot Kubo wrote.

The Reisai ritual from the Hell arc

Renji talks about how captains who died in battle would get this ritual and we also know that shinigami who are greater than third class reishi are captains and they have to be cast into Hell. Kensei and Rose are Vizards adding to being captains so they would fit that category after the war if they weren't saved by Mayuri.

Now of course, most of the captains including Kurotsuchi, Soi Fon, and others didn't even know about the true purpose of the ritual so how could Isane know about it? (Even though the true purpose doesn't need to be known to do it)

Eh, I would just chalk it up to her being Unohana's lieutenant and Unohana being a OG Gotei 13 and the head canon of her having to send her fellow captains to Hell and knowing she would soon be in it.

Anyways, I kept seeing people asking why she went after their bodies when they were dead already and thought of this.

Thanks for liking my response to saitouh assuming you remember she hates orihime because she couldn’t fulfill her promises how would you have responded

Thanks for asking this! I wasn't expecting this to be my first ask to answer.

First off, the whole thing on responding to someone whose really adamant on their opinions is something I preferably wouldn't want to do, since it usually leads to back and forth arguing. It's just something I got tired of since there wouldn't be a clear resolution to it.

However, if I did respond to them, I would point out many characters in Bleach and in fiction don't really fulfill their promises due to outside factors or their own flaws so why hate Orihime for not being able to fulfill her promises? I would either blame the plot or Kubo since he wanted things to escalate and have Orihime at a breaking point of where she feels powerless.

There was also incorrect claims Saitouh made like Orihime barely knowing Ichigo which isn't true? Before he became a shinigami, he and Orihime were on friendly terms and then in Orihime's manga introduction, she and Tatsuki talk about Ichigo's surface personality.

So I would point out the flaws in their reasons on why they hate Orihime and highlight the main points on Orihime's character that Saitouh didn't get. I don't really know Saitouh that much so I wouldn't really focus on personal jabs on them since that doesn't really help in getting my point across. That's basically how I would respond.

Hope that helps!
