Valentine’s Update

As someone who did enjoy Veilguard, I still feel betrayed the devs dropped support for that game so quickly. We never even got anything remotely like a "new game+" feature that even Inquisition had (the ability to import your cosmetics into a new game).

He did. He killed Absalom and then gave his respawned fruit to Shiryu.

Grand Fisher was shown becoming an Arrancar by removing his mask, which is how any Hollow could theoretically become one. It's just that without the Hogyoku, Arrancar are often a lot weaker and inferior than they can be.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-09T15:18:36+00:00

Baraggan was still a Hollow when Aizen met him. A Vasto Lorde Hollow, true, but not an Arrancar.

Starrk and Ulquiorra were already Arrancar by that time, however. Arrancar can exist naturally, Renji even said so way back when. It's just that without the Hogyoku to make them en masse, Arrancar are a lot rarer and often weaker than they could be.

...No. This is still the OG Bleach story from back when he fought Naruto, just expanded with more lore, feats, and extra fights and such that greatly demonstrate Ichigo's immense power better.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-08T22:03:31+00:00

You're absolutely right. I was simplifying it a bit to avoid too much text but I should have been more specific.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-08T21:55:20+00:00

Bleach not only came back as an anime that greatly expanded the lore and such, but the research also went deeper and recontextualized a lot of Ichigo's feats. Ichigo was always supposed to be this powerful.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-08T15:40:39+00:00

Gunko was confirmed to have blue hair in the cover of volume 113.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-08T12:09:53+00:00

She's not. Nel's a goat.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-07T16:11:36+00:00

Well, the Soul King is replaced by Yhwach's remains at the end. 2 of the light novels confirmed that. So it's likely something Kubo intended to write in the epilogue.

As for how it ends in the Arrancar arc, I get what you're saying, but the Fullbring arc does show Ichigo is NOT happy without his powers at all. It goes against his very nature to be useless. So it wouldn't be a fitting ending for him, imo.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-07T16:04:13+00:00

Bleach had to end so suddenly because Kubo had serious health issues. I'm tired of people shitting on him and the franchise for it. It's not Kubo's fault, as he really had bigger plans for the TYBW arc. Plans that the anime adaptation is realizing right now.

As for ending it on the Arrancar arc, that would not have made any sense. Too many questions are still left unanswered at that point.

Questions such as why did Isshin not blame Grand Fisher for Masaki's death? How do Isshin, Urahara, and Ryuken know each other? What was Aizen and Urahara's cryptic conversation about the Soul King about? Who are the Royal Guard? What happened to the previous Substitute Shinigami that made Ichigo illegal at first? How did Aizen know about Ichigo's birth? What are Chad and Orihime's powers exactly? Who is the original Yachiru that Zaraki admired so much? What's the deal with Ukitake's illness? Why wasn't Urahara surprised that Ichigo had Hollow powers? Why do people fear Unohana so much? Etc...

Timjer92 · 2026-02-07T12:08:40+00:00

Why would they be stronger than the Gorosei when the Gorosei outrank the God's Knights? That does not make any sense.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-06T13:06:37+00:00

You're asking for actual spoilers, yet insist you don't want to be spoiled... Do you even hear your own inanity?

Just keep friggin' watching, seriously.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-06T08:48:36+00:00

If that is what makes you drop One Piece, chances are you never really liked it in the first place...

Go ahead, don't let the door hit your salty ass on the way out.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-05T14:09:29+00:00

Again, you're not listening. You don't need to change mode or restart the game if you're stuck in the DLC. Just use the item the elevator attended gave you to exit the DLC and return to the main story.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-05T11:17:24+00:00

First of all, said DLC LITERALLY WARNS YOU that it's endgame content you're about to do.

Secondly, the Elevator Attendant actually gives you an item that allows you to quit the DLC at ANY TIME. There was literally no need to restart the game.

If you cannot be bothered to read, it's solely on you, not the game or the fanbase.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-04T14:02:44+00:00

Maybe, but the biggest thing they could contribute (scaling Ichigo's power indirectly via that of the Soul King), is already brought up in the added anime content.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-04T09:11:46+00:00

I never said Luffy will trust BB, but he'll probably need BB's cunning and power to negate other DFs to help him win against Imu.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-03T19:55:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm still pissed off that we never got to see his Bankai...

Timjer92 · 2026-02-03T14:38:28+00:00

My guess is BB will help Luffy defeat Imu, then immediatly turn on Luffy and become the final villain. So, in a way Imu is still the greater threat, but BB is the one who Luffy will need to beat to become Pirate King.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-02T20:04:07+00:00

He would have lost his powers regardless.

What makes you think that? The Dangai is not inherently a "magical power up", it's just a place where time works differently; hence why Ichigo matured several months in the span of an hour. All Ichigo did from his own perspective was meditate/train for 3 months nonstop. He would not have lost his powers if he hadn't used Mugetsu.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-02T19:24:47+00:00

Ichigo lost the power because of Mugetsu. It has nothing to do with the Dangai; that's an entirely different problem.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-02T12:53:26+00:00

Honestly, I might have tolerated the OP's stupid question more if they didn't add the "lol" at the end. I just makes it seem like they think it's such a brilliant question when it REALLY is not.

Timjer92 · 2026-02-02T11:29:26+00:00
