This bankai reminds me of Shaman King, the part where they understand a big ass furyoku doesn't require a big ass summon, and they start going for those shields and swords.

I'm assuming Kubo will make it so that Manako (or whatever) to deem the user worthy before allowing them to know the name. That way powerups will only be given to those who Kubo wants to show off (*cough* Zaraki *cough*).

He does say to Renji that Renji has become "powerful enough".

"Plot relevant" you mean?

Yeah basically - by saying that he's only giving it to Renji because Renji has become powerful enough, Kubo is giving himself the ability to up the bankai of those who are plot relevant. Everyone else can remain shitty.

Shitty writing and slow plot progression are Kubo's specialities.

You should be like me and just enjoy Bleach for the great art. That way, you are never disappointed. Whatever the story is, the art always remains awesome.

I don't read Bleach for the art. It's pretty bland and boring in my opinion. I like details (especially in backgrounds, makes it seem more alive — see OP and Berserk for reference). Kubo doesn't. He prefers close-ups.

Kubo's art is good in some places, bad in others. The characters are all drawn really well, and almost all of them are distinct from the other. The designs of the characters and their powers are also cool. It'd be clear what they're doing all the time if Kubo liked to show the audience where the hell the characters are though. I honestly cannot tell what the hell is going on a lot of the time without rereading a bit, because he likes to either put nothing behind them during slightly actiony battle scenes, and fucking clutter and shit in intense battle scenes.

Watch the filler anime arc on Zanpakto. It's actually the best of the filler arcs and quite enjoyable to watch.

It's not canon. Irrelevant information not pertaining to the manga. Disregard it.


Why the fuck should he disregard it? Just because fillers in general cop a lot of flack doesn't mean this one wasn't good. In fact, it had a lot of battle scenes similar to when the anime went through the SS arc. Just because it doesn't fit your perfect world where all anime fillers are automatically shit doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same. If the guy wants to watch a decent filler with decent battles, then he should watch it and disregard your conservative opinions on what should and shouldn't be relevant to one's enjoyment.

Not necessarily. Just because Renji's bankai didn't tell him its full name doesn't mean Aizen's didn't

calm down bud. the filler arc isn't canon so it doesn't answer the original guy's question, which is why it should be disregarded wrt useful information. he doesn't say anything about "don't watch it fillers suuuuck"

Oh I finally get it. Renji was a plot device initially, to give Ichigo a person to test out his new Shikai against (and Byakuya was the one he tested Bankai against). Now, that makes Renji a pretty weak Lieutenant, since a lot of them apparently already had Bankai. Then he became the weakest member of the shinigami party, to pave to way for the entrance of Captain class shinigami to save his hide. Despite this, he's still highly regarded by others as the next Captain. To explain the huge power gap (and how it's gonna be closed), Kubo suddenly said that all along, Renji was operating at half power!

Makes perfect kubosense.

People talking about Renji's zunpukuto not telling him his name consider the following:

1. Kyoraku - 100's of years old - his zunpukuto doesnt always listen to him/is tempremental - this was revealed even before zunpukuto arc
2. Kenpachi - his zunpukuto will not tell him his name - learnt from the beginning of the manga
3. Yumichika - he can partially release his zunpukuto by calling it a different name.
4. Toshiro - his zunpukuto is in an "evolving" state and his bankai is unpolished (does not appear as it would in it's final form)
5. Ikkaku - has an unpolished bankai that is tempremental and won't work at times.

Everything we know about zunpukuto gives them their own (independent if you will) personality, thoughts etc. The "concept" of learning your bankai is almost like "learning your true self" - a lot of us live in denial and I guess the zunpukuto are a reflection of self.
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Now, that makes Renji a pretty weak Lieutenant, since a lot of them apparently already had Bankai. Renji didnt have his bankai during his first fight with Ichigo, he attained it the same way as Ichigo albeit faster than Ichigo! Ascertainw what you want from that. The only other liutenant that had Bankai at that time was Ikkaku (Baldie) - Then he became the weakest member of the shinigami party, to pave to way for the entrance of Captain class shinigami to save his hide. Despite this, he's still highly regarded by others as the next Captain. This could have somethign to do with things other than his power level... Not all captains are on the same level... certainly Mayuri is piss weak compared to other captains... same with Toshiro To explain the huge power gap (and how it's gonna be closed), Kubo suddenly said that all along, Renji was operating at half power! Plenty of instances where Zunpukuto, like Toshiro's are stated to be operating at a "lower power level" because of the wielders level of strength and experience

Makes perfect kubosense.


Wow bro... your sense is worse than kubos. My comments inserted in your msg above.. I think you're reaching just as far as Kubo is with your analysis and extrapolation of things...

1. Kyoraku - 100's of years old - his zunpukuto doesnt always listen to him/is tempremental - this was revealed even before zunpukuto arc


its more that he doesnt like to use tis ability then it doesnt listen to him

2. Kenpachi - his zunpukuto will not tell him his name - learnt from the beginning of the manga


because Kenpachi never bothered to try to get close to it and learn the name, he just used it as a tool

3. Yumichika - he can partially release his zunpukuto by calling it a different name.


but his Zanpaktou still told him the right name

4. Toshiro - his zunpukuto is in an "evolving" state and his bankai is unpolished (does not appear as it would in it's final form)


that is its final form, he just cant control it very well and maintain it forever

5. Ikkaku - has an unpolished bankai that is tempremental and won't work at times.


it would work whenever, he jsut refuses to show anyone it

also Renji DID NOT get his Bankai the same way Ichigo did, Ichigo cheated and used the doll to force the final stage, Renji did it the right way by conversing with his zanpaktou, building a relationship managing to properly manifest it and training with it until he could achieve bankai
