== The vast majority of Soul Society was designed to [[World Half Empty|craptacular]] to encourage souls to choose [[Reincarnation (trope)|Reincarnation]]. ==
Well this theory explains why Soul Society's population isn't in nthe billions at least.
* Note that much of what we see of Soul Society is District 78 in Rukia's flashback and District 79 (Yachiru's description of her past and the Bount Arc), so this seems to be [[Accentuate the Negative]].
Line 157:
** This Troper approves!
** This. This Troper completely approves.
** Third. I've been thinking about this ever since [https://web.archive.org/web/20090725223144/http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/bleach/4/228/3 the cover] for chapter 228.
*** I've been thinking about this ever since ''Bleach'' came out.
 
Line 206:
 
== Grand Fisher somehow transferred himself to his lure before being killed ==
Arrancars' Resurrecion allows them to use their abilities. It's entirely likely that Grand Fisher still has the ability to use the lure that he did as a hollow, and, as it is revealed in the manga, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090125162454/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/24/13/ he can jump to the other part if one is injured]. It's possible that he somehow jumped to the lure to escape certain death at Isshin's hands and is waiting for a chance to finish his fight with Ichigo.
* This Troper agrees, but believes that Grand Fisher was one of Aizen's experiments (like Metastacia), and that now the Lure and the Fisher are permanently seperate now. This Troper's own WMG is that the Lure is currently ranked 0 Espada.
 
Line 254:
== Orihime lied to Ulquiorra as he died ==
Call me heartless, or what you will, but considering what she has been through: a) mentally tortured by Ulquiorra, b) being told by Aizen that she was merely used as a tool to lure Ichigo and Captains to Hueco Mundo, just so he can attack early, and c) Seeing Ichigo killed right before her very eyes by Ulquiorra, JUST HOW CAN SHE SAY SHE ISN'T AFRAID?!! Sorry, I need to emphasize my point. But I can think of a reason why she would say that: 1) Hollow Ichigo, after ripping Ulquiorra apart, reverts back to an alive Ichigo, and 2) Ulquiorra is dying anyway, which poses a question: Who would be afraid if their torturer was dying, and the person they love is actually alive? And what fear would one have of someone on death's doorstep?
* I think Orihime truly wasn't afraid, but I'm more than sure she didn't really forgive him, it was more like what Winry told Scar in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]] after he asked whether she forgave him or not- a no, but she was sympathetic. Orihime is kind, she hates people dying or getting hurt, so it makes sense that she would feel like she needed to give Ulquiorra something to cherish in his last moments...I guess.
** Ever heard of a white lie? Because compassion could be a good motivation for telling lies, worrying about the truth being too painful for others. Interpreting it like that, in Orihime's mind, she wouldn't want Ulquiorra to think she was scared of him, in fear of him dying without a heart.
 
Line 267:
It will be revealed that Aizen can only produce one illusion at a time. This is why he didn't just quietly go about his business murdering everyone in Karakura and replacing them with illusions and why he is having to go through the whole war to reap the spirtual energy. Seriously though, have we ever seen him produce two illusions at the same time? This could also be the reason the he sealed the Central 46 chamber and didn't just set up a puppet show inside.
* You know, that actually makes a ''lot'' of sense. Once again, brilliance occurs in WMG.
* Aizen does in fact say that he set up a puppet show in Central 46. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20090701181023/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/176/15/ here]. To quote "illusion of the 46 chambers holding a meeting, alive and well".
** Darn, and I really thought I might've been onto something.
*** You probably are; This Troper's interpretation was always that the 'illusion' in question was that someone was sending orders from the place (where no one else was allowed) to make it seem like there were still 46 officials holding meetings.
Line 543:
 
Joking aside, Unohana has probably figured out some way to see past Kyoka Suigetsu's ability and will be the first person to get in a hit on Aizen.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20100724120307/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/381/15/ It's Confirmed she has.] She knows how to completely bypass it. I think this counts as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Unohana
* And now she's heading for where Aizen is. Maybe her Big Fight will be against Aizen himself?
* You realize that by putting Unohana's name in the same sentence with "hit on Aizen" you just gave every shipper from here to the moon something to misinterpret, right?
Line 752:
Two notable examples are Grand Fisher and Zommari Leroux. When we see both of them die in the manga, they disintegrate like this:
 
https://web.archive.org/web/20100726090139/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/188/01/
 
https://web.archive.org/web/20100724215941/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/302/17/
 
Ulquiorra does this:
 
https://web.archive.org/web/20100724055003/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/353/17/
 
https://web.archive.org/web/20100724055008/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/353/22/
 
So one of my questions is this: while Zommari and Grand Fisher break apart in blobs and disintegrate, Ulquiorra in the end dissolves into ash, and vanishes into the wind. Why would Kubo draw Ulquiorra's death like that, while Zommari and Grand Fisher went like above? Heck, even Sora disintegrated the same way as Zommari and Grand Fisher.
Line 911:
 
== Ichigo will [[Eye Scream|pull a Shiryuu]] ==
I heard that Kubo mentioned [[Saint Seiya]] was an inspiration for him; and Unohana even said that he must not see Aizen's shikai, [https://web.archive.org/web/20100724144905/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/381/16/ no matter what].
 
== Aizen hypnotized himself with Kyoka Suigetsu. ==
Line 937:
With all the super-careful planning he does, it seems pretty suspicious that he wouldn't clear his browser search for it and just leave it there for anyone to find. The whole thing about him wanting the King's Key is all a ruse, and the entire Soul Society is unwittingly helping him get what he really wants. The arc will probably wrap up with everyone thinking they're finally about to beat him, and then he says "Yeah, all this was part of my plan. Thanks for the help, losers!" and then puts on a pair of kickass sunglasses and flies off.
 
== [https://web.archive.org/web/20100725002844/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/25/18/ When he was present when Grand Fisher became an Arrancar], D-Roy was in his released state. ==
Generally it's hard to tell just what we're looking at here, but what is apparent is that D-Roy is leaning on some snake-like thing that looks a bit like his Adjuchas form; likely his "tail" from the waist down. This would also explain the large difference in his appearance from then to the Arrancar Arc, besides Kubo changing his mind as usual.
* That's not D-Roy, it's Iceringer.
Line 978:
== The Villains of the "Final Holy War/Thousand-Year Blood War" are Quincy's ==
Four things pointing to this...
* #1; Look at the color page...no, look at '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120210225118/http://www.mangastream.com/read/bleach/36615093/6 THOSE FREAKING COLLARS]'''.
* #2; A shadowy figure [https://web.archive.org/web/20120210224834/http://www.mangastream.com/read/bleach/36615093/11 crushes something in his hand] and ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120210225003/http://www.mangastream.com/read/bleach/36615093/16 this]'' happens....crushing a small object that leads to a hollow infestation? [http://www.mangareader.net/94-490-18/bleach/chapter-36.html Sound familiar]?
* #3: The beginning of the arc notes that hollows are being ''destroyed'' instead of purified...[http://www.mangareader.net/94-500-4/bleach/chapter-46.html now who were notorious for doing just that]?
* And #4; according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120210225113/http://www.mangastream.com/read/bleach/36615093/5 Mayuri] , only one party were capable of destroying hollows, meaning that it's the work of "'''''THEM''''' and them alone"
...So yeah, Quincy's
** So far, {{spoiler|atleast partially confirmed, Ivan is a Quincy}}.
