agreed with alwizbthere..
vaizard is a shinigami who has crossed over into the domain of hollows , they are criminal group of ex-shinigami that uses forbidden spells to acquire the power of hollows
arrancar should be the otherway round..nevertheless, the basic is the same..
vaizard - shinigami with hollow power..shinigami but turn to hollow with the mask
arrancar - hollow with shinigami power..hollow but able to have soul slayer and release them with powers
the hole is to show that they are from hollows..

Ch241 .... Ryuken meets Isshin ... both are like father like son!

just went out to buy the chinese comic for bleach yesterday finished all 27 books at one shot... great manga!!!

lol....n he mention bout isshin getting his powers back....

i wonder wat happened that made him loses it at the 1st place....

It has already been said in one of the chapter by one of the arrancar. 1 to 10 are sorted by their powers and ranked 11 and above are sorted by when they were created.

might have connection with him wanting to marry a mortal wife?? and it did mention that cause isshin is a shinigami that makes ichigo a pure blood?? who's ryuken by the way?? i'm reading the chinese comic.. not very clear about the jap names...

i like the way the author indtroduces the the character as tehy develops later in the story... how they became who they are

my guess is that he was defeated adn lost his powers (like ichigo last time)
but he survived...
problem is he did not went back to soul society and stayed here...
and his lsot of powers that's why he couldnt save his wive or his family when their housewas attack (when ichigo first met rukia)
after all the happenings, uruhara when to find him and restore his powers (like ichigo)
so i ahev a feeling that ishin is a vaizard now =p

cant wait for next chapter fight...
and they didnt mention much bout the vaizards so they should be on their way to help ichigo maybe?

oh yeah the vaizards... at first i was confused and tot the vaizards are the same as the arrancar... but they turn out to be a different sort... the vaizards seems to have a different agenda.. don't even know they're on who's side now (it seems to be ichigo's at the moment)... but i do cross my fingers that they'll gain more frens

vaizards should be neutral

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.

maybe he purposely let rukia pass her pwoers to ichigo after he met uruhara and know bout rukia's agenda...

...oh and letting ichigo nearly dead from tat process?
remember that rukia passed her powers to ichigo cos he nearly died from the hollow attack....
it doesnt look like a preplanned thing.....

but it was a matter of time before Ichigo unleash his shinigami powers

"Almost" hmm....

Ichigo "Almost" died when he first fought his first Hollow when suddenly, Rukia gave him her powers.

Ichigo "Almost" become a Hollow when all of a sudden he became a shinigami instead...

He also "Almost" got whacked by Uruhara till he "Almost" died when all of a sudden he can hear his own Zanpaktou and released his Shinkai.

"Almost" Died when he fought Zaraki and he leart to share his powers with his zanpaktou.

"Almost" Died again when he was learning to achieve Bankai in 3 days.

"Almost" turned into a full hollow and died in his own mind when fighting Hichigo.

It seems that everytime something really bad "Almost" happens to him, he turns into someone way more powerful...

Thats practically how shounen anime goes

Well Anyway... hahaha...
Kirosaki Isshin really look like shit in shinigami Uniform...

no...he is SHIT from the begining he came out in Chapter 1 lol2 doesnt matter he wear shinigami or not still SHITT I mean look at Ishida's dad

which look worse after he power up

lol...imagine him doing some crazy move/stunts like he's in gigai mode to ichigo....with shinigami powers....

if ichigo did died (or almost) then he could jz step in and pwn the crap our of that hollow...
he defeated king fisher release state with jz a hit without his shinkai...

wonder wut's his zanpaktou is...
no one from soul society going up to hueco muendo after all?
uruhara can enter there rite?
maybe he's preparing an army there (as he did said he got something to prepare after oppening the gate for ichigo)
