@Prevynx You’re correct. The information card calls this form “the ultimate form that Ichigo… takes when he undergoes Bankai in a “half hollowfied state””. My theory? Depending on which race he’s prioritizing, his Bankai takes different forms.
The form is described as “the ultimate form that Ichigo… takes when he undergoes Bankai in a “half hollowfied state””. My theory? Depending on which race he’s prioritizing, his Bankai takes different forms. That would allow for this Bankai and the manga’s to coexist.

@AJM94x@SandwichesJill Of course, this could be a prediction as you said, I suppose. That would be poor writing. I’m hoping that this is a legitimate and tangible future that Ywach has access to, and eventually determines to destroy it in favour of another.
@AJM94x@SandwichesJill Either way, the potential of the Bankai, its appearance, and its abilities, would be the same. He isn’t *creating* a version of the future (implying that this isn’t truly the Bankai)—he’s SEEING a future. This is as much the Bankai as it would be without the Almighty.
@Boltsxk@edencrosss Yoruichi? Yammy? Oetsu is probably the most stereotypically African man in the show and he’s given a great showing that’s handled with competence and care. Lille is an angel and leads the Elite guard.
@Vicetee_Cole Literally yeah? It isn’t “plot armour”—the narrative surrounding the authenticity of his original Zanpakuto was set up at the beginning of the series and was slowly but surely touched upon over the course of the series until the final arc.
@realichigo If you’re referring to HoS vs this, they’re 2 completely different forms. It isn’t a “change”. If you’re referring to this Bankai vs the manga one, we haven’t seen the alternative. It’s likely that we’ll see it later considering the text on the info card.
@Noonevipk@F_viibtmh I don’t necessarily blame you, but as a fan, I’m hoping that having literal YEARS to both consider and reconsider the events leading-up-to-and-including your ending could have SOME positive result as far as amending the flaws in the ending is concerned.
@Noonevipk@F_viibtmh That being said, the Almighty in and of itself as a power is generally a waste of time, unfortunately. It’s a lazily-limited Godlike ability that forced the story’s writing into a corner. The anime is doing well to expand the context surrounding it, but the flaw still exists.
@Noonevipk@F_viibtmh I think “waste of time” is a tad reductive. We don’t know how exactly the Almighty will be used, but if it’s aimed at neutralizing Orihime’s power as opposed to Ichigo’s, I think that could be quite productive for her character considering the journey she’s been on. (1/2)
@Noonevipk All of that being said, I do think she was in need of much-deserved Shounen character progression, and the way they handled it was relatively full circle as far as characterization is concerned. The romantic angst comment is misplaced, though. We don’t know where this will go.
@Noonevipk Personally, I didn’t mind it. It isn’t a poor criticism though. The episode is a victim of the short episode format, where—due to the fact that we’ve seen this fight spliced up between 4 other episodes (instead of one)—we had to watch the finale in one go (1/2)
@Noonevipk Had this been a 45 minute episode, for example (and had we not had it interrupted with Uryu), the progression of this experience would have been much more earned and gradual as opposed to the jarring experience of watching Orihime get impaled 7 times.
@KaizenXIX What makes this fraud-like?
He’s fighting the God of the verse. I understand discomfort in watching innocent characters undergo great pain, but Orihime needed a transformative character moment, and this was surely it.
She’s an immovable object, YWCH is an unstoppable force.
@MichaelWaltrip1@G_O_A_T_Lantern@hbomax Not entirely sure why you capitalize “Pay Attention”, but I respect the grammatical quirk. Tone typically refers to the way that something is said, not the nature of speech. Yes—responding opositionally to an assertion is argumentative (that still isn’t an arguement, though).
