Bleach Manga Ending? (Spoiler)

[ Edited ]

I have a question for those who are currently read up with the manga. Ichigo says he will lose his Shinigami Powers if he goes into the final Getsuga Tensho. Is this a hint by Tite Kubo that the series is soon comming to end? Speculation?

I really hope it isn't cuz im gonna be pissed. I feel like he might do a thing with Uryuu. Like how he lost his powers to use his strongest attack (at the time) and then had the power "re-awakened" or something like that.

Kubo's already said there is to be another arc, and his arc's are pretty **NaClO** long (he considers everything from the end of SS to where we are now as one arc).

There's also at least one more group he's confirmed to be revealed, the royal guard. The possibility of another Turn Back the Pendulum like story is high too, as the recent data book revealed all the Captains/Vice captains we didn't see back then.

tl;dr: Bleach has a long way to go, for better or worse...

So? I'd trust the creator of a series over a character in it.

Besides, Ishida said the same thing. I'm sure there will be an equally ridiculous plot point that restores Ichigo's powers. Not to mention Ichigo has lost his shinigami powers before, as has Isshin.

he didnt lose his powers, he lost the powers rukia gave him, and then had his own powers awakened with the help of urahara.

by the way, have we seen the soul reaper king yet, cuz if we havent, im sure the series wont end without getting at least a glimpse of that badass

my name is kamino hoshan. i am the god of redemption. you want forgiveness? you want mercy? repentance? recantment? redemption? ha! i will decide if you deserve it.
i am a self-proclaimed shinigami, with a zanpakuto named tentojigoku, which means heaven and hell. it has no bankai. bankai is for the weak. i will soon post a hand-drawn picture of said zanpakuto soon. for all you bleach fans out there i say hello and be warned. i am a nice person, but short-tempered.
NAME - Kamino Shokan (shokan is the surname)


AGE - physical age - 17. real age - 967


RACE - shinigami/soul reaper, human form


SEX - male


SEXUAL ORIENTATION - heterosexual


MARITAL STATUS - single


WEAPON OF CHOICE - zanpakuto

Standard form - concealed sword contained in white cane with black etchings of demons, angels, dragons, etc. Fancy cane, no old man handle on the top

Shikai - tentojigoku (roughly "heaven and hell") see bankai description. combination of the two. half white half black blade, curled silver hilt, half diamond half amethyst, half pearl half onyx, unarmored. power is called black light of redemption: sword glows black. trail of black light follows path of sword. enhanced abilities (speed, strength, etc.). signature move is the judgment day fury strike. swings straight down from above in a circular motion, swinging sword in circles on both sides like nun chucks, leaving halos of black light trails in its path. downside is it is a rather direct and narrow spaced attack, leaving room to dodge.

Summoning phrase - "judge him"


Bankai - two bankai. it differs depending on his mood. they look similar to the shikai, but more detailed and fierce-looking.


Bankai 1 - tengoku ("heaven"). called out, the shikai is pointed towards the sky, a shining light comes down from the heavens and strikes the sword with a blinding flash, disappearing as quickly as it came, leaving in its wake a shining silver blade with a large diamond(like three of diamonds)-shaped diamond between the blade and the hilt, the hilt surrounding the bottom half of the diamond, curling around in two small spirals on each side. the hilt is armored more than the shikai's, it's black with white armor, the bottom of the hilt curling smaller than the top, and 4 curls perpendicular to each other, surrounding a small pearl. power: judgment. the blade glows white hot, leaving a trail of light like the shikai does so. it has the ability to melt even zanpakuto steel. its signature move is piercing blade of truth. a series of disarming strikes is delivered, followed by an execution style stab directly through the heart, a blinding light shines from the wound as the swords hidden ability takes place in that it purifies spirit energy but also dissipates it and blows it away, rendering the spirit energy useless. the downside is it takes several seconds to power up the final blow, leaving time to escape.


Bankai 2 - jigoku ("hell"). opposite looking of tengoku. black blade, opposite colored armor and hilt, amethyst instead of diamond, and onyx instead of pearl. when called on, the user plunges the blade into the ground, cracking the very earth underneath it and splitting it wide open as flames from hell emerge with demons and dragons that wail out in their demonic voices as they swirl around the blade engulfing it with fire, the enormous amount of power flowing in you as the flames dissipate and the demons disappear from the cracks in the earth that are now sealed, leaving in their wake the shining black blade described above. power: damnation. a plague of destruction eminates from the very core of this wretched blade. black fire clings to this bankai as it is swung without hesitation to end the life of one of countless people killed by this sword. its signature move is wrath of the condemned. a wide range attack, this actually splits into segments and whipped around like a chain whip, similar to zabimaru. it whips around the user in all directions, spitting wave after wave of hellish black fire out at those out of range of the actual blade. its hidden ability is that it can burn the spirit energy of others.


DESCRIPTION - left-handed, 6'0", 168 lbs, boyish and charming, well-built, with short, dark brown hair, piercing ice blue eyes, lightly tanned, a tattoo across his back at the shoulder blades in japanese that means "i will judge you", wearing a white button-up dress shirt with three or so buttons undone at the top, collar popped, a black design of a dragon on the left side, untucked


HISTORY - 534 years ago, kamino was your average soul reaper. he went by a different name, only he cannot recall what it was. his zanpakuto was different then, and he dressed like any other soul reaper. he lived in the innner roukon district, along with other soul reapers prior to bleach's current soul reapers, and he was younger, about physically 14. he fell in deeply in love with an american girl named Arabella. she had long flowing red hair and deep brown eyes. only two things stood in his way: he was a soul reaper, she was a human. and she was taken. her boyfriend was really buff and over time he discovered he was mean to Arabella and he constantly cheated on her and she was totally unaware of it.


PERSONALITY - hot-tempered, charming, devilishly handsome, proud, noble, self-proclaimed god, magestic, a lover on the inside.


FIGHTING STYLE - nobly. he stands there proud, shikai summoned, waiting for his opponent to stike. on a good day, he is swift and quick to kill. on an off day, when his short temper is tested, he drives forward, leaving destruction in his wake, often leaving very small openings for a lethal attack.


LIKES / DISLIKES - likes - a strong opponent. to be alone. and semi-secretly Orihime. dislikes - deceit and trickery. liars and thieves.


ALONE / GROUP - alone


OTHER -

Kubo has announced repeatedly that Bleach is not ending in the near future. He also states no ending has been written or even planned. If you want a manga reportedly ending for real, please go turn your attention to Naruto

You're missing the point here. At the time, when Byakuya first took Ichigo's powers, we didn't know it was only Rukia's. It's extremely easy to write in a way for Ichigo to become a shinigami again, just like before.

I wanna see Ichigo have to go to Hell to find Tensa Zangetsu to get his powers back with other characters getting to shine escorting him since he's powerless now.

I am wondering if his shinigami powers and hollow powers are distinct or so interdependent that the loss of one means the loss of the other.  If they are distinct powers then the loss of his shinigami powers would mean his hollow powers would become dominant as they did previously. He would at least have something left to build from.

Zangetsu isn't and wouldn't be in Hell.  Ichigo simply can't reach him because he lost his powers.  All he has to do is somehow regain his powers to get Zangetsu back.

Also:  No chance in hell is it ending.  He may take a few weeks off but even that is iffy.  Hell find some way to make things crazy again and make new enemys...................hopefully better than the Bounts........

I just hope Squad 0 doesn't have a French theme or something weird.  I wonder if they'll be like elite Soul Reapers and still have the Feudal Japan theme, or be a bit different.

Why would they be French? They were soul reapers who protect the guy in charge of the Soul Society, which is based off of Japanese history.

The Quincy have a German theme and the Arrancar have a Spanish one.  You never know with that wacky Kubo...

Having read the manga end to end, I can safely assume that Kurosaki Isshin lost his abilities the same way that Ichigo has, through the use of Mugetsu and the final Getsuga Tencho. What would possess Isshin to use that ability is beyond me until Kubo-sama reveals it. Ichigo's Inner Hollow is part and parcel of his abilities, and would be sealed away the same as Zangetsu. I look forward to seeing how Ichigo recovers his abilities, since that would be a great vehicle for Isshin's backstory. Aizen Sosuske is not yet out of play, as he is still bound to the Hogyoku and only sealed away within the lowest level of the Maggot's Nest. Central 46 said it directly that Aizen is for all intensive purposes immortal. I would make the supposition that Aizen breaks out and gives it one more go, and Ichigo gets one more shot at finishing him for good. Inoue Orihime has yet to fulfill her own vow to erase the Hogyoku from existance using her Shun Shun Rikku, so I suspect she also has a part to play. I'm still hooked, and we get to dive back in when Kubo-sama publishes the start of the next arc after his hiatus. I wish Kubo-sama good rest and plentiful ink for his pen when he takes it up again.
