yea. its funny because you don't understand it.

you use the anime as a reference which isn't accurate as they have change it slightly from the manga. in the manga, Kenpachi states that his sword is a normal sword. he only sees them merely as tools, not something you fight with. you use them.
plus he doesn't even communicate with his zanpakutou nor is able to use any of its abilities. Ichigo can communicate and use its abilities, thats one possible reason for him being able to shikai without knowing Zangetsu's name before his fight with Kenpachi.


and if you say that it is in release form because the hilt is different, try looking at Gin's zanpakutou. in its unreleased state, it resembles a wakizashi.

yes. the zanpakutou is howling in agony. Kenpachi's power is damaging his zanpakutou. this is stated y Zangetsu..."When 2 who do not trust each other fight together, they only damage each others' power". Kenpachi only believes in his own power and does not consider zanpakutous living things,but tools for fighting instead.

a sealed zanpakutou looks like a normal katana. the reason they called it sealed is because the zanpakutou's power hasn't been released yet but is still sealed.

Kenpachi says that his sword has no seal because he sees it as just a tool.....like how we see a kitchen knife. he doesn't believe that zanpakutou's gives power to its owner but that its only the owners power that makes him/her strong.

gxen: your other meaning of seal is probably the act of sealing something right? the seal they are talking in bleach is that which has yet to be broken.

you might recall it if you watched the anime again. i'm quoting it right out of the anime just like you want.

sorry if no pics. can't be bothered to learn how to capture pics from the anime.


reason Ichigo always on the brink of losing is because he holds back from killing. he sort of limits himself to avoid killing his opponents, always saying "i deafeated you, its over" and shit like that.

you wanted anime quoting i gave you anime qouting.

sigh. you don't even read my posts properly so whats the point. i just can't be bothered anymore.

i doubt so. but maybe thay are working with one another, since they have been hinted to know something of the vaizards' plans.

also Urahara might've based his research of the Hogyu-thingamagic on the Vaizards? who knows. anything is possible since the story on them hasn't been shown yet.

i doubt that'll happen. this problem began with Urahara himself. he created the "transformer", remember? he started all of this, in a way.

plus she stronger than Ichigo (in fighting) originally. Ichigo said before he never once beat her before. or did that only apply when they went to that karate class thingy?

can. but he must train more for his limit to be pushed far above that of the short 11 second he currently can hollow form for. he'll probably be an even match in hollow form but will get wasted when not.

Ichigo lost the powers that were given to him by Rukia. Urahara only "teached" Ichigo to bring out his own shinigami powers.

my guess is that Isshin was using the reiatsu draining gigai, same one Rukia used. thats why he didn't have any powers.
2 possibilities he couldn't save his wife & prevent the attack on his house
1) he couldn't get out of the gigai without Urahara's help. even if he did, he would've been powerless
2) took time to get out of the gigai. maybe had to wait a while for powers to come back

another possibility he didn't stop the attack on the house might've been because he already sensed a shinigami there. and also Ichigo's reiatsu, which Rukia said blocked her senses at that time.

your friends are too grown up for you.


the black guy either looks very strong or very weak (no. 9). i can't decide which.

i think no. he just wanted to fight ichigo since ichigo was fighting everybody else in the house(division 11?)

well everybody didn't think Isshin would be a shinigami.

and Yachiru doesn't seem like a shinigami as well. character is almost like Neru.

thats because Yachiru appeared wearing shinigami garments. if she appeared not wearing that, would you think she was a shinigami?

this is manga section. somebody already answered but might wanna ask in anime section next time.

yes. Ichigo.

wrong. last time he escape death is when Rukia saved him. and then Shinji saved her.

since they all parted ways, nobody gonna save Ichigo now. unless Urahara opens the gate for the Vaizards to come as well and they have the final show-down with 2-3 Vaizards dying. and then just as Aizen is going to finish them off, team Urahara (Urahara and co., Yoruichi, Isshin) come to the rescue. or maybe SS comes to the rescue, with Byakuya heading it.

vastro lorde are stonger than captain. so adjuchas would be around equal or slightly weaker than captains. which would probably put up a really good fight against the captains.

but remember, it was all said that these are hollows. as in pure hollows which haven't attained the powers of a shinigami yet. the espada are probably all adjuchas except the one which rukia killed which was the lowest ranked (forgot name for it). so in theory they should recieve a huge spike in power, similar to when ichigo turns into hollow. but they don't.
