I also wonder how they're gonna make Yhwach breaking Ichigo's bankai as impactful as the manga page turn. One of those scenes that you can't just adapt one to one because of how it plays on the medium.

I was thinking about the last Kubo answer:
>Q937.
>穿界門、黒腔、影の移動はその種族でないとその場で簡単に使えない技術なのですか?また、2つ以上の種族の要素を持つ者はそれぞれの移動手段を習得することは可能なのですか?
>Are Senkaimon, Garganta and moving in the Shadows are techniques that wouldn't be easy to use on the spot unless you belong to the specific race? If a person bears elements of two or more different races, can they acquire the means to use the correspondent means of transportation?
>A937.
>基本的にはその種族でないと使えません。(影の移動は正確には滅却師ではなくてユーハバッハの能力)2つ以上の種族の要素を持っていれば、複数使える可能性はあります。
>Fundamentally, if you don't belong to a specific race, you can't use the technique (to be precise, moving in the Shadows is not a Quincy ability, but Yhwach's). If a person bears elements of two or more different races, it's possible for them to use the correspondent means.
And it hit me: if transdimensional portals are race specific, why Kazui can open portals to Hell? Does Ichigo have some secret Hell ancestry as well? Or is it from Origime's side? Or is it the consequence of training in Irazu Sandou? or is it something else?

its pretty clear there was no plans to continue manga beyond Rukia rescue. That's why ever since that Arc they reused the same setup over and over again. But it was perfect for what it was at the time.
4 characters go in, developed over the course of arc, get their fights with their respective enemies, etc
Ichigo faces off Renji and Rukia's brother (final boss) and that's it.
>>
>>288416738
Shut up dumbass faggot

>>288419901
sure if you omit the 33% of the arc that was Aizen shenanigans like faking his own murder to make it look like one of the captains did it and the reveal that the entire council of opinionated old people was murdered a while ago meaning the order to execute Rukia came from whomsever did it, and all the captain v captain fights that came about because of all that, and aizen revealing himself as the mastermind, plucking a mcguffin from rukia, dabbing on Ichigo, and fucking off into Hollow Realm. Not to mention the unanswered questions like just why Ichigo was a freak of nature, what the full deal was with the quincy genocide, and what the deal is with the soul king
The Vizard and Arrancar where characters Kubo pulled out of his ass to move the plot forward but he knew he needed at least a training arc or two in between Ichigo beating Byakuya and Ichigo beating Aizen.
A hyopthetical shortest, most streamlined version of Bleach would have Ichigo, Rukia, and Renji immediately get scouted by the royal guards for training, and Uryu likewise get picked up by a 'mysterious stranger' offering to restore his powers and reveal the truth of the soul king to him, and have Ywach time his invasion to coincide with Aizen's own attack
>>
>>288419373
They are scientists, so they do that through scientific shenanigans. Similarly to how Mayuri was able to use Hirenkyaku.
>>
>>288419373
Urahara was already dabbling in the means for Shinigami to make use of Hollow powers when he decided he'd reached his ethical limits, which was when Aizen went "Nah you call yourself a scientist? I'll finish this research myself"
and Mayuri is one big oneupmanhsip complex in clown makeup so of course he figured it out too once he got made captain of the science division

This is true to an extent. Uryuu was poised to fight a Quincy final boss, who was supposed to be Aizen (who in turn was supposed to be actually named Eisen). While the Arrancar as a concept were introduced back in volume 3, Espada and Numeros as a whole were introduced very sloppily. The Visored, despite being hinted through Ichigo's inner Hollow, come out of nowhere, and it makes zero sense that Isshin, a head of one of the Five Noble Houses never knew aything about a group of corrupted Gotei Captains and Lieutenants who fled to the World of the Living merele a hundred years ago. The crime Aizen said Urahara was exiled for has nothing to do with what he actually was exiled for, and Aizen was in the front row of the incident. And so on, and so forth.
In my mind there is no doubt that Kubo at least fashioned the idea of what it to come after the Soul Societry Arc (especially if you take into the consideration the whole Trilogy of Death thing), but he was utterly unprepared to continue the story when the end of the Soul Society Arc finally came. The start of the Arrancar arc is more inconsistend and lore damaging than TYBW (and TYBW is consistend and doesn't brake the established lore, actually).
>>
If Aizen was using shinigami and hollow souls to make his Hogyoku, was Urahara using human and quincy souls for his one, so that when Aizen combined the two, a soul suicide didn't occur and the new Hogyoku became stable?

I don't think that it was ever mentioned in canon material what either of Hougyokus were made of. Aizen "fed" his Hougyoku souls of Rukongai dwellers and Shinigami, while Urahara's manipulations with his are never specified. Soul Suicide also was never even implied as the source of Hougyoku incompleteness. And while I see the logic behind your idea (ad I find it at least thought provoking), I don't remember that it was ever mentioned that Aizen's Hougyoku had Hollows as a material, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Additionally, Aizen's Hougypku already had regular (aka human) souls inside it. And Urahara couldn't get Quincy souls easily unless he ventured to the World of the Living to capture some or circumvented the regular procedure like Mayuri did later, because Quincy don't go to the Soul Society when they die, which wouldn't be out of character for Urahara, but I don't find it likely.

The anime suffers from "2000's shounen anime syndrome": mediocre animation, mischaracterizations due to director's vision, horrendous pacing, excessive filler.
If you're willing to suffer through this — then suit yourself, otherwise read the manga instead.
But watch Thousand Year Blood War arc anyway, as it was made with Kubo directly involved in production and fixes a lot of issues with the arc through the power of hindsight.

That's Kazui, not Ichigo
There's a reason Kazui was about to reject the remnants of Yhwach's power with no effort.

Kazui has his mother's eyes. He is never going to be a clon of Ichigo.
That cover is Ichigo inverted, as looking in a mirror, maybe he is Hollow Ichigo

I like the idea he's a vision Ichigo get in Hell of an older Kazui that becomes reckless, spoiled and corrupted after inheriting such immense power. Look how his clothing is also red, Ichigo never had that

This can't be an Ancestor of Ichigo: this person looks too Shiba to be from Masaki's side, and Shibas have black hair, so he can't be from Isshin's side. So this is Ichigo, or at least an entity derived from Ichigo.
Making another inner entity that looks like Ichigo would be stupid. Nothing in the story suggests any connection between Ichigo and Hell, unless there is some obscure Shiba lore in the vein of "members and retainers of Shiba clan traditionally were responsible for handling Hell butterflies".
On the spot I can come up with two ideas: whether during an instance when Ichigo died (likely when he died after Ulqiorra donuted him with Cero Oscuras), Ichigo's soul somehow split due to its inherit double nature, and the leftover part was sent to Hell and that's the Hell Doppelganger; or this is the powers that left Ichigo after using Mugetsu, and they ended up in Hell, manifesting as their own entity (as Ichigo turned from easily at least Tier 3 Soul to a regular mortal in terms of Reiryoku), but that would require Konsou Reisai (unless something similar is inherit to Mugetsu).
>>288426106
>Look how his clothing is also red
That's not necessarily true. It can be black, and red accents are to signify ominous lighting. I'm not even sure if this page was coloured by Kubo, if it wasn't, colour doesn't mean shit.

>>288415506
Hey, if you insist!

>Does Ichigo have some secret Hell ancestry as well? Or is it from Origime's side?
If this happens, I will drop and never bother to read or watch the Hell Arc.
>>
>>288426747
If Ichigo is the one related to Hell and so that is the reason because of which Kazui can open Hell portals, then Ichigo would have to have that relation in his genes, so Kazui can inherit it.
>>
Maybe when Kazui touched the remnants of Yhwach he adquired that power to open Hell portals.
>>
>>288426827
>If this happens
Despite me asking these questions, I don't really think this would happen. There are literally no hints towards this in the story, and piling up secret ancestries is stupid.
>>288426942
>then Ichigo would have to have that relation in his genes
Hell was barely touched in the story so far. If there is indeed a Hell Doppelganger of Ichigo of some kind, and him and Ichigo still count as the same person (similarly to how Yhwach and Haschwalth are), this may be enough for Kazui to inherit Hell affiliation.
Perhaps Ichigo and this Doppelganger situation is similar to what happened to Hisana and Lucia. Imagine if this Doppelganger's name is Regulus or some shit.
>>288427030
Yhwach's powers are shadows, not Hell portals.

I think it's all related to Kazui using Ukitake's fishes (which are Ukitake's zanpakuto spirits). He is probably controlling Kazui to do that, and Ukitake is the one doing it through Kazui.

>which are Ukitake's zanpakuto spirits
We don't really know what Sougyou no Kotowari looks like. Sure, Ukitake's Zanpakutou is related to fish and is double, but it actually has nothing to do with Pieces. It's about an old Chinese thing about exchanging letters through a container disguised as a fish figurine that splits in two (hence the Double Fish). I guess that's why names of Ukitake's attacks are so wordy: they're literally letters.
But Shibas being closely associated with water may imply that the twin fishes in the beginning of the Hell chapter are metaphors for Ichigo and his Hell Doppelgänger, and the whole thing suddenly makes, and now I'm leaning towards the idea that the Doppelgänger is Ichigo's powers that left him after using Mugetsu.
Nevertheless, the fact that Kazui and Kon ride fishes seemingly sent by someone else and that before the portal opens some weird eyes manifest may very well imply that Kazui doesn't open portals to Hell, but simply gives a signal to someone who does. But that couldn't be Ukitake: he wasn't in Hell before Konsou Reisai was performed later in the story. Given the metaphor above, it may be the Doppelgänger.

I hope in the remake they change a lot of Arrancar Arc, much more than TYBW.
I hope they retcon Yammy's being Number 0 or at least explain that better and give the Karakura Group more time to shine.
I hope the Espadas beat the shittouta Captains in Fake Karakura to the point of the Shinigami barely winning.
