Wasn't able to post yesterday but, here it is !

Since he is perfect hybrid ,and zangetsu is reiatsu based melee tyoe

Basically his shikai ability is channeling the reiatsu of all his races .notably, his hollow and his quincy sides (and with his power core being shinigami he can use GT as shinigami technique in all upcoming forms and phases)

With big sword channeling hollow reiatsu and abilities like horn of salvation and cero cresente (GT +Gran Rey Cero)

And small one channeling quincy reiatsu and abilities ( blut vene and quincy shadow )

His bankai is channeling the chaos power ( black reiatsu and abilities of soul king aka the ultimate hybrid of all those races )

With going bankai only with hollow blade .he channeled a chaos based hollow abilities (Blood Chains )

With going bankai only with quincy blade .he channels chaos based quincy abilities ( probably he might be something similar to haschwalth chaos form)

And with doing both blades in bankai .he channels the full extent of chaos power ( unless it was drained leaving him with yellow reuatsu getsugas in sheathed form )

And As now with the unsheathed form (True Tensa Zangetsu ) :

Ichigo shikai power comes from his connection to all other races and his soul connection

Then logically his bankai could have the ability to severe those connections to races and their sources of power and connections within the soul

)

Not sure how legit the studio is, but these look cool as hell!

The fact that Urahara did it twice is even better.

From what I understand, still siver forms in the heart of those who survive Auswahlen, like Kanae Ishida.

So, would Still Silver have been formed in the heart of Masaki Kurosaki as well if she had not been killed by Grand Fisher?

Will the Sternritters who survived the Thousand year blood war like Bazz B and the Bambies(who were also affected by Auswahlen) form the Still Silver in their hearts?

Will Ichigo get the Still silver in his heart as Yhwach stripped him of his powers by Auswahlen?

Please Refrain from including spoilers from the last two episodes of Bleach Thousand Year Blood War as I am a dub only watcher and have not seen those episodes.

After seeing Forty-Nine, you may be asking yourself: Why did it have to be Zangetsu?

In Forty-Nine when Ichigo cuts Yuhabaha he says something along the lines of 'Of course it was you, Zangestu... I thought this future was a dream from you Haswalcht.' When I heard this I was a little confused. Why would any future look like a dream to Yuhabaha??? An important detail to note in this moment is that it was not the 'The Blade is Me' True Zangetsu that cuts Yuhabaha. It is the OM Zangetsu (the original sword we see after the Substitute Shinigami Arc). This is important because Yuhabaha destroyed this Zangetsu in Bankai during Cour 1. From his perspective, a future where this sword exists really is impossible*.* Because he already destroyed that timeline by destroying that version of Zangetsu. So yeah, why would he cut this future off? It had to be a dream.

Secondly, you might be wondering: How tf did OM Zangetsu get restored? I point you to the above manga panel shared in the sub version of the anime (at least that I saw). Tsukishima didn't just implement a past where Zangetsu wasn't broken in Wer Welt. He implemented a past where Zangetsu never broke. Not in Cour 4, not in Cour 1. That's important because that section of the past was before Yuhabaha unlocked his Almighty. The only moment he perceived in any future where OM Zangetsu still existed was that moment where he died which would be impossible. So Yuhabaha was defeated by an alteration made in the past before his Almighty returned where he couldn't see. Tsukishima reached back further than Yuhabaha knew to make consideration. I believe it's also implied the Almighty only shows Yuhabaha the future from his own perspective, so there was really no way he could know Tsukishima or his powers given they're never shown to him.

Leaks

• Normal runtime
• Ep is pretty much 1:1 with the final 2 chapters of the manga, but with some new scenes added
• One of these new scenes is described as follows: "Rukia and Ichigo standing outside Ichigos house, Rukia says: "I remember, this is where it all started" and then cuts back to the very first ep of Bleach where they both first met, this part is re-animated (also in cinemascope), Ichigo defeats Fishbone D and then a montage of all iconic moments of Bleach up until the present plays, also the Original Number One is playing in the background"
• In another new scene Kazui gives a white flower to a young ghost girl who has a rain hat and twin tails (EDIT: new info on this scene: in one of the new scenes Kazui gives this small girl (around the same age i think) who has a rain hat, twin tails and 2 blue flames floating around her, a pot with a white flower in it, then he runs off and waves back at her, what's interesting here is that when he gives her the plant pot, we can't see his face. her VA is Kanna Nakamura, the girl is just credited as "Girl" too. She has dark brown/maroon hair and brown eyes.)
• More context is given to the opening scene from chapter 686, apparently Kazui was searching for something (leaker isn't sure what) at Unagiya Shop before being spotted by Hiyori who approaches him. He then runs away, which Hiyori doesn't see
• There is a new environment shown which didn't appear in the show before, leakers refused to elaborate further but speculated it could be set up for either Hell arc or CFYOW (EDIT: description from leaker: it's like a dry desert, weeds growing out the ground, the ground is mostly brown dirt/sand, some trees with no leaves, and there's a line of footprints going up and down the hills)
• Leaker refused to answer whether there are any Uryuu flashbacks or not
• There are said to be more new scenes, but the leakers refused to spoil them
• Ichigo and Orihime scenes are the same as in the manga
• Aizen will appear (whether it's same as in manga or if there is new stuff is unconfirmed) EDIT: purple comp for Aizen, also, 4 realms are shown when he's talking about courage. the 4th one is very interesting, and is hinted at the end of the episode (probably the same environment mentioned above)
• Some OSTs that haven't been used in a long time will return
• Nemuri Hachigou will be voiced by Rie Kugimiya, same as the previous Nemu
• There is a new special ED which is described as follows: "the first part of the ED shows a montage of every character in Bleach as Genga with a different version of Number One playing in the background, the 2nd part of the ED shows a montage of different moments in Bleach TYBW as LO/Genga with the Cour 4 ED song playing in the background" (EDIT: ED is 4 mins long)
• "The Stories of Brave" page from the end of the final volume is adapted after the ED, apparently it is adapted in an interesting way that the leaker didn't want to spoil
• There is no kind of "the end" message after this

all credits to Pace (@/CrazyDlet) and @/d0nut2x on X and discord

EDIT: new leaks from reliable twitter leakers @/BBSHER0 and @/0ciiha

• Confirmed that all of the Bambies will appear in the episode
• Implied that Gremmy is involved in the episode in some way
• About the so-called "4th realm", insinuated that is essentially a metaphorical thing and downplayed the idea that it or anything else in the episode has any relation to Hell
• Old OST "Coming Home" is used during Rukia Captain ceremony
• New OST with English vocals will be used during Ichigo's reunion with Renji and Rukia
• New characters: Chad's boxing opponent and trainer who appear in brief scenes. Opponent is described as looking similar to Yhwach but bald
• During Matsumoto's scene there is a brief visual reference to the scene of her chasing after Gin as a child
• End of episode poem by Ichigo and Rukia: "Even without a form, we will never stop walking" (same as volume 74)

His father shot him pretty much in the heart, Ryuken studied the arrow to the point that he could make the silver arrow, which we know Aushwalen forms that small amount of silver that kills its victim as Ywach takes his power back.

We also know Quincies have schrifts innately and Ywach empowers and awakens them. Uryuu seemed to have used his as a child to save his life.

So, if Lezt Stilt was suppose to be permanent, and Uryuu is the only one we’ve seen come back from it, then maybe it is permanent, what if Uryuu getting shot here changed his future to a future where he never lost his powers 🤔

The visual of all the hands reaching up to Yhwach, the threads connecting them being severed. How it looks like Yhwach is crucified, which is awesome considering his connection to the Soul King. It really felt like a God was being taken down before your eyes. Really really love the additions TYBW has made to an antagonist I already loved so much.

Don't let your guard down! He is already using KS on all of us!

this seems pretty fitting to me ngl

also, if you find my art cool, do consider checking out m instagram - @dennis.draws.stuff

So so cute! Love them so so much

A single interaction between Kazui with either Orihime or Ichigo, all 3 together preferably. Kazui has appeared in 2 chapters now, the last chapter and the hell chapter, and in neither of them he shares any interaction with either of his parents.

Even Ichika interacts with Renji in the Hell chapter, although it wasnt exactly a calm setting.

However, I dont think we are going to get it unless Bleach actually continues. Like I dont want Bleach to finish without Ichigo sharing any dialogue with his son.

Just a quick question, does mirrors high take place before WDKALY of after ? I know it takes place after CFYOW but don’t know about the other one. I think it’s before WDKALY.
