Bleach Chapter 518 review AWESOME

If you haven't been keeping up-to-date with the Bleach manga then I recommend you skip this until you finally read it. If you have never watched/read Bleach , then go read/watch it ! Its really good ! I highly recommend it ! Now on to the review!


***SPOILERS***

Ho...ly...shiiiiiiiiiiiit ! Bleach officially just got AWESOME ! Not that it wasn't before, but reading this chapter made me jump up and down excitedly !


The Mysterious 'hero' from Hueco Mundo

We finally got to find out who was with Urahara, Orihime, and Chad at Hueco Mundo...well sort of...but its PAINFULLY obvious who it is...
                                                
                                                                   
                                                   GRIMMJOW!!!

I know what ya'll saying:
  • Didn't Grimmjow died after Nnoitora Jiruja attacked him?

                    (Nnoitora attacking Grimmjow)                (Nnoitora Jiruja)
    • NOPE! Tite Kubo confirmed that Grimmjow survived and he along with Tier Harribel (3rd Espada) are the only Espada that survived. It is unknown how Grimmjow survived though, since he was severely injured, But I guess they'll mention that later I hope !
  • I don't think he's strong enough to defeat Quilge Opie that easily!
                                             
                                   (Quilge getting cut down)

    • Well, it HAS been 17 months since we last saw Grimmjow in the Arracar Saga, and there's a thing called TRAINING ! After losing to Ichigo, I bet he's been traing his ass off since then and who knows, maybe he now got a second resurreccion like Ulquiorra did ! :o
  • Why would he help Urahara, Orihime, and Chad?
    • I'm not too sure myself but I guess its a way to pay Ichigo back for saving his life from Nnoitora maybe?

In this chapter, there were clues in regarding the identity to Urahara, Orihime, and Chad's 'savior'. When Urahara contacts Ichigo, who's in Soul Society, through a communication system that he installed in Kon, he appeard to be inside some tent, and with the sound of Ichigo's voice, the 'mysterious' guy demanded to talk to Ichigo and called him a 'bastard'. Sounds like Grimmjow to you? You could also briefly see him through the communication system, but didn't show his face since it was covered in those speech bubbles and Chad & Orihime was pushing out the tent, which I found really funny ! When you look at his clothing, you can tell its Grimmjow:
       
                                                 

The two panels on the left are from this chapter and the on on the right is just a picture of Grimmjow. The first panel on top shows the 'mysterious' person wearing a black sash with a white hakama. As you can see, Grimmjow ALSO wears a black sash and white hakama. If that isn't enough for you, take a look at panel 2; Look at the 'mysterious' guy's arm: He has his sleeve rolled up to his elbows and on the right pic, Grimmjow ALSO wears his sleeves rolled up. The green underline and circle is just showing how he talks. he sounds aggressive, like Grimmjow. 

I knew it was him all along and I know I wasn't the only one. :) *cough* bigfanofgrimmjowhere *cough*



The Return of...

Looks like Grimmjow wasn't the only one who made a return ! Yes people, a few familiar people came back in this chapter and believe me, I was surprised ! Another person who made a return was...

                                

                                      Kukaku Shiba !!!

Yes people, the big-chested, one arm & leg chick with a giant canon has finally returned ! If I'm right, she hasn't been seen since the Soul Society arc where Ichigo and friends went to rescue Rukia. That was a looooooooong time ago ! If she returned, then you know what that means...her brother Ganju appeared too ! However, he was with some people, and this surprised me a lot; he was seen with the fullbringers ! O.O


                             
 From left to right is Shukuro Tsukishima, Giriko Kuzusawa, Ganju Shiba, and Kugo Ginjo

Apparently, Kukaku found the fullbringers wandering around the Rukongai and I guess took them in and are training with Ganju, probably to prepare for the upcoming battle with the Vandenreich. It is unknown if they still retain their memories from when they were alive, as stated before that most people don't remember, with the exception of that parrot talking boy. It likely that they are one of the few that do remember and I don't know about you but this is awesome! Sure the Fullbring arc was...kinda bad, story-wise, but I do love the characters! Can't wait to see what they could do !
UNCLE !?!?!?
Right after Kukaku fires Ichigo and the Royal Guard back to the Royal Palace, Ganju ask Kukaku if it was okay for her to let them go which she replied she did, for if he doesn't go, there will be another attack that will defiantly end Soul Society. After say that she also said that it was the right thing to do, even if uncle will be upset about it...

Now who is this uncle shes referring to ? Many people speculated the there is a possibility that Kukaku, Ganju and Kaien are somehow related to the Kurosakis, due to the fact that Ichigo and Kaien looking so much alike.

                  
                                             

Other characters from the show also sees the resemblance. 

We all know that Isshin Kurosaki was once a soul reaper before settling down with his *cough* quincy *cough* wife, Masaki Kurosaki. Nothing much is known about his background other than that but some fans thought that he could be the Shiba's father, thus making them Ichigo's step-siblings. They were close though ! It seems that Isshin is their uncle and they are Ichigo's cousins...maybe. Isshin seems to keep Ichigo in the dark about certain things, like when Aizen was about to reveal that Ichigo was half Shinigami and...BOOM Isshin came and stop Aizen from revealing something. I think its safe to say that Aizen was gonna say half quincy. Wonder what other things is Isshin hiding...



The Royal Palace !

Alright, the moment I've been waiting for since...FOREVER ! THE ROYAL PALACE !

                        

....Okay...I admit, I was expecting a big badass castle like building  but I guess I was wrong...like I was wrong about the Royal Guards... ^^;

But nonetheless I psyched ! We're SO close to see the Soul King ! However, thinking about what Aizen said about Soul King, calling it an 'it', I expect it to be some kinda life...energy thing or something like that? Or it could be a small mystical creature... o.O 

...I don't  know but I can't wait to find out ! xD

All in all I rate this chapter a 9/10 (-1 because of the Grimmjow teasingness, DAMN YOU KUBO !)

What do you guys thought of the chapter ? What are your theories/predictions ??

About Me~


Whelp, let me introducing myself! For starters, you guys can call me 'Nessa, everyone calls me that. I'm short gal who loves to play video games and draw on my spare time, and I love hanging with my buds, like every other girl. I tend to be really weird around certain people just for the sole purpose of making them uncomfortable. xD However, they say they love me for it -_____-

I tend to dress in dark clothes, mainly black skinnys with black laced up boots or converse. I usually wear pullovers/sweatshirts which are sometimes dark, but usually grey. I also paint my finger nails black. Trust me, I DO wear other colors too, but I just seem more comfortable in dark colors. I have black hair with blue at the bottom.

My favorite colors are Black(obviously) Purple, Green, and Blue.

I love listening to rock. Screamo isn't really my thing, but I guess I could give it another try...one day.

I also like to read manga and watch anime. My favorites are Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist and Axis Powers: Hetalia. I'm going to start reading other manga...when I have the time, but for now they're are my favorites.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnd thats enough writing for now...

...oh I almost forgot! I have a DeviantArt and Tumblr account! There really isn't anything on the Tumblr one right now but there will be...one day xD

Till next time dudes!
