Hollow and evil shinigami

[Sakura no]

I was looking back at the older volumes and realised a rather significant conversation and torture/kill scene between certain Hollows. After Ichigo somewhat defeated the Grand Fisher, it returned its mangled body to his boss? master? Some sort of authority, who punished him. The scene had some dialogue and rather dark setting, keeping the figures mysterious, leaving the reader wondering. Who were they? And what was their importance?

Was that a tossed plot? Or is that somehow connected to what's going on now? Are those Hollows and Aizen-Gin Team relevant to each other?

[Chih1ro]

No one knows atm. They could be related to Aizen, could be not. Im guessing that once the Soul Society arc is over, there is gonna be a huge arc involving hollows. At least I hope so.

[Ferag]

Yep, would be cool, because now hollows are kind put aside....

But time in soul society is not the same then the time in the real world...

How much time Uhara said he could keep the door open??

Well...Wait n See ^^

[=~brAnDoN-kAorU~=]

Hmmm....I was just wondering if how the transition of the soul society to the hollow arc is shown.....like just imagine, aizen is about to kill rukia when suddenly there is a gigantic invasion of hollows into soul society and etc etc...hehe...my crazy mind =D

Hallows have bosses we know this scince epiosde 3 of the anime. In episode 8 we see 7 hallows including the grand fisher and it ends with the Grand Fisher saying Ill go so maybe they have a huge plan but The Grand Fisher decides to have a snack first.

I'm telling you, the hollow are behind the corrupt shinigami! I have a gut feeling! and if I'm wrong, well I just made an ass of myself, didn't I XD?

[Lune]

Kubo loves plot twists to much for me to be sure in any answer i can think of. But for that same reason, i think hollows are in the background..hidden, somehow they have SOME kind of part in the current plot.

[bk-paradox]

Or it could be just a power strugle ;) that would be a bit of a twist, someone trying to change how soul society operates a liberal/idealist?

And if you look at yurochis (sorry if i spelt it wrong *the cat/woman) comment about the ammount of time they have, well they went through a twisted portal and have more time, then the execution was brought forward, so they have about a week or so from the current episode i believe

[whiteash02]

I'm really hoping after the soul society story arc there's one that has to do with those hollows, if BLEACH ends after this story arc i'm going to cry.

[Ryudell]

If the story ends there it'd be a waste, since there's still plenty of room for character and plot development! And normally arcs get longer, don't they? If so then the next arc will be...@_@ huuu so very long.

[aya724]

present arc: soul society & shinigami. I personally want to see the chracters develop, and see a little bit more of the inner workings of each group in the Gotei 13. We know that the 4th is the medical team, and the 11th is the strongest militarist team, and that the 12th is the scientific research team... but there's 10 more teams that the plot could tell us. Not to mention character development on at least the taichous and the fukutaichous.

Future arcs? I want there to be more on:
**hollows... which i think is also coming soon; grand fisher, the hollow that merged with Shiba Kaien, and MENOS GRANDE... if Genryuusai is the strongest shinigami, then the Menos Grande is the strongest hollow, right?
**the human world: if we go back to the episode where Ishida picks a duel with Ichigo, the humans that have spiritual power/awareness is Ichigo, Orihime, Ishida, Chad, Tatsuki, Ichigo's little sisters, right? not to mention Urahara and the ppl in his shop... they could definitely hold their ground if/when Ichigo & co come back~

& yes, I think they should let Orihime's powers grow more... she's got potential, it's just that the others are way too ahead of her right now ^_^

[Jinchuu]

Instead of letting her become powerful they should kill her and leave her in the soul society and give a lame excuse for her absence, every Bleach fan would be much happier *lol* (at least I'll be.)

[=~brAnDoN-kAorU~=]

I think the next arc will be about hollows, and yah....I think the corrupted shinigamis have something to do with the hollows. Maybe collaboration? And I remember one of the manga chapters describing a concept of merging the shinigami & hollow...well...Aizen could be one such person or maybe he has some minion that is a product of this merged monster? =P
