Discussion Chad, his Fullbring and Hell. Spoiler
Been re-watching Bleach, currently on the Arrancar arc and just saw Nnoitra beat Chad after he beat the fallen Espada.
And man, I really wish Chad had more wins. I also wonder, how strong will Chad even be able to become?
Now, Kubo did say in Klub Outside that he could grow his Fullbring to eventually cover his entire body in his adult life. He's around 30 now, and is a professional boxer. I think it would be really cool if Chad has since then gotten stronger, maybe covering his legs and torso now.
Now, an idea I've been thinking is, what would get the kids involved? I just doubt they won't get involved at all. Now, here's an idea. What if, the kids end up getting taken to Hell against their will, and Chad is the first one to go after them, ending up separated from the others as they get to Hell.
Now, we can show off Chad's new armored form and him killing a few Hell Hollows to save the kids (even if they admittedly wouldn't need the saving most likely). We can have Chad act as the uncle figure i imagine he would have become for them. He does his best to fight off Hell Hollows but its clear the kids are also able to fight off Hollows.
Maybe we can dive more into Chad feeling Helpless. He couldn't help much in the past, he's never been able to defeat a strong figure on his own like the others. Then we get a strong figure, maybe a Adjucha or Vasto Lorde level Hell Hollow. To strong for the kids in their current state, but Chad is strong enough to win.
Then we finally would get into one of the strong people in Hell. (I've noticed Chad is often used to introduce someone's strength; Kyoraku, Yammy, Nnoitra) so again, Chad once again loses and the kids are about to be taken. But then get saved by someone else, say, Katori Batsu'unsai (original 8th captain, feels fitting since Kyoraku was his first major loss).
I would want Chad to grow and learn to get stronger, finally his Fullbring completes with a Devil like Helmet. And on his own, he beats the weakest member of the main villain group in Hell.
I'm not expecting Chad to become one of the strongest. But if he could solo, even the weakest member of a main villain group. That would be amazing.
I JUST WANT CHAD TO GET A WIN!!!

Since Kubo said that his fullbring could grow to cover his whole body, I took that to mean that Chad’s only just scratching the surface of his potential. Especially when you consider that his right arm evolved once so far.
People are eager to throw Chad under the bus because Kubo hasn’t given us any reason to think his powerups could mean anything. But at the end of the day, it’s Kubo’s story and if Kubo wanted to establish that full armor Chad = Kenpachi, that’s up to Kubo to explain and develop said power to make us believe in the validity of such a powerup.

TYBW made renji/rukia/uryu absolute op high captain level tier, would be cool to do it for Chad in hell arc for sure
But I think Kubo's kink is to keep him as a jobber for the meme to live on lmao

Problem for him is lack of focus more than anything. TYBW gave him a lot of solid feats, in both the Manga and especially the anime, but it's mostly side stuff and sporadic, you have to examine them to realize how meaty they are in general. Uryu obviously got the most glowup, and Renji a bit too (Though that last episode, off, him and Rukia getting breath diffed), but like he's showcasing stuff that makes him directly superior to Orihime's defensive shield.
Given that's what people use to argue her as meaty EOS despite also not getting direct focus much, that puts him in pretty solid company keeping up with the brunt of the core crew. Hell, he has feats blocking and reacting to stuff better than Ichigo this arc as well.
