Going...Going...gone where?

[Krokodairu]

Do you think after the soul society fights happen, they'll just go home and that will be the end? After he beat Grand Fisher it seemed like he would be meeting some new crazy hollows, [besides menos grande] but it just seems unlikely that there will be any point in bringing in hollows now that Ichigo is all supa powered...or maybe they'll come at the end or something...

ignore the name of this thread

Honestly, I think there could be a possibility for a new arc. Mayhap the who Dark Ichigo incident? My friends and I, as well as many other people think that D.I. will play an important role later

[Krokodairu]

oh yeah, it seems like DI is an incarnate of rukia's vice captain...sorta...who knows...all shall be revealed...i wonder if this will last as long as one piece...

[Jinchuu]

I think there might be 2 ways to continue the story the one you pals mentioned and takes place in Volume 13, or the new-type hollow (hollows without masks) which takes place in Volume 3.

[Mizura_Enoki]

my friends and i think that... u know ichimaru hasnt arrived yet? maybe hes off calling hollows to attack the soul society or something. and then all the captains and ichigo have to team up against them maybe? but this theory doesnt really work coz ichigo's already really strong... well.. i dont know :\

[Ercadia]

I don't think we're even finished with Soul Society yet.

1) There is the mystery surrounding Ichimaru
2) Finding Aizen's murderer.
3) Panning out the whole "Rukia is set to be publically executed"
4) In a few chapters, we're going to run into some serious Byukaya exposition, dealing heavily with his relationship to Rukia and the execution. (Assuming Ichigo beats him)
5) The Captain Commander hasn't had his fight yet.
6) Yoruichi and Soi Fong haven't finished their fight.
7) Ect., etc...

Then, after that..

1) Menos Grande will probably appear again
2) Anit/Hollow/Dark-Ichigo is still around, and seems to have ideas about Ichigo. And we will find out if he was born from the incident in the Pit of Dispair or if Ichigo is really Kaien's reincarnate.
3) Grand Fisher is still around.
4) We will probably have more background covered with Urahara and what drove him from Soul Society.
5) I'm pretty sure that Rukia will get her powers back sometime before the end, or else we will find out WHY she hasn't gotten them back.
6) Its a certainty that Rukia and Anti-Ichigo will cross paths, simply because I don't think Tite Kubo will leave a massive character development point like that slide. If that happens in the Soul Society arch, I'm not sure.
....And so on, so forth. There are a lot of loose ends even as we stand now in the manga. I don't think Bleach will be over anytime soon.

Theres still a lot more unexplained stuff. I doubt it will end so easily :)

[xenoptik]

What if Kubo drops Bleach like ZP? =(

Meh...

Anyways, it'd be pretty damn boring to end the series after this arc. I'd be pissed. I wanna seen Zaraki get Bankai or at least name his soul cutter. -_-

[Ercadia]

Bleach is too popular for him to drop it right now, so I doubt it.

(Ooooh, Zaraki naming his Soul Cutter... that'll be fun!)

[FaustIX]

Hmm Im sure he will (He has to im dying to know) expand on Ichigo and his Hollow Mask

[Jinchuu]

Uhm.. didn't the fight between Soi Fon and Yoruichi finish ? 'cuz Soi Fon started to cry and said bla bla...

My prediction would be that the series would not conclude anytime soon for the same reason(s) that all of you mentioned already. The series is VERY popular right now. There are many questions about the characters left an answered. The Hollows aren't eliminated yet. Ichigo hasn't got rid of Grand Fisher or Menos Grande and all his minions. Both Ichigo and Rukia hasn't admitted yet about their feelings for each other ;) and we have no idea whether Ichigo is really Kaien's reincarnation :)

[=~brAnDoN-kAorU~=]

I agree too. It would be lame if they suddenly stopped the series, and this part of the entire story is not a suitable ending too. (Imagine the massacre as an ending for it. --_--) Anyway...I do hope they will change the opening songs too as the anime series progresses with much nicer ones too~~(best is if either rock or techno genre)

REMEMBERRR

Click the button if you want to be spoiled :)

Kaien is the vice-captain of the 13th division. He was Rukia's superior officer and look exactly like Ichigo, except he has black hair. He was taken over by the hollow, who killed his wife. Rukia doesn't have any choice but to kill him. She blames herself for his death.

No, Ichigo didn't kill Grand Fisher, which the hollow who killed his mommy. I think he just wounded him pretty bad.

How do you do that spoiler thing? o.O Never-mind Figured It out :p: As I was saying, maybe He'll fight that hollow again, or maybe the Soul Society might accept Ichigo as a death god and put him to work, and Rukia will get her powers back too, so there partners or something, Doubt that though @_@;

I don't think Ichigo will stay in soul society. He has a father and two sisters in the human world, and he is, after all, just 15 years old. He'll probably do the 'shinigami' thing part-time.

Also, I doubt Rukia will ever get her shinigami powers back. She'll probably have to decide later on whether she wants to stay in soul society or go back with Ichigo to the human world. She has to do the latter anyway if she's unable to acquire her powers back. I think Ichigo will not leave without her. I mean after what he went through, I highly doubt he will leave her there.

I remember when Naruto was just starting out, people thought it would just end, but than new enemies and more existing stuff just kept happening. Hope the same thing happens with bleach :O!

[=~brAnDoN-kAorU~=]

Quite true. It will really be disappointing if Kubo Taito stops the manga going on. =P
