Bleach Chapter 549 – Overcoming The Handicap [Part II]

Soi Fong and BG9 – colour by DEOHVI

Well that was insanely cool, I had forgotten that Soi Fong had Shunkou up her sleeve. So she had mastered it after her battle with Yoruichi and spent the time after her Bankai was stolen refining all the inconsistencies and inefficiencies with it out huh? Badass. Things just got a lot more exciting now with Soi Fong utilizing Shunko against these mysterious Quincy who have prepared for these battles for a REALLY long time. I’m curious to see what the Quincy have up their sleeves to deal with the Gotei 13.

Bleach Chapter 548 – Overcoming The Handicap

The results of Toushirou and Rangiku’s training – by i-azu

So that’s how Toushirou went about overcoming his inability to release his Bankai now. Quite creative and unexpected to see Rangiku’s Haineko utilised in such a way to strengthen the ice. I’ve yet to wrap my head fully around what exactly Toushirou did but I kind of get the general idea of what he accomplished by creating multiple layers of thin ice in the walls. Going to be incredibly cool to see Toushirou and Rangiku battle alongside each other coordinating their zanpakutou abilities together.
