Ladies and Gentlemen, did you read this latest Bleach chapter that has gotten much attention with the Bleach fans? Ichigo's Zangetsu turned out to be Juha Bach from 100 years ago and is his QUINCY powers. So that, my fellow Bleach fans, is the big revelation - Ichigo has both Shinigami & Quincy powers. Zangetsu, whom we all loved and adored, was never a Zanpaktou, but it personified Ichigo's quincy powers in the form of Juha Bach. Ichigo's new Zanpaktou as of now is being crafted/forged by Oetsu and his "Sword Five" consisting of 4 beautiful chicks (well some) and is coincidentally the title of this week's chapter. Many fans, now, will either do one of two things - create a theory behind this chapter on Ichigo's revelation or dismiss it entirely. I for one am pumped about this week's chapter because it had questions and left us to conjure up answers of our own in hopes it'll be correct. The chapter pretty much is Ichigo getting his Zanpaktou forged and the revelation of Ichigo's Quincy powers projected as Juha Bach from 1000 years ago. First off, I had a feeling that Juha Bach and Zangetsu looked awfully familiar - black wavy hair, facial hair, same-looking eyes, and black cloak. This revelation of Ichigo's Quincy powers isn't much a surprise because it was heavily hinted during Masaki's backstory with Isshin. Inheriting powers from your folks is pretty common in most Action manga. The Quincy powers have played a pivotal role in Uyuu's life, but now the center of the Quincy name is now on Ichigo. Juha Bach takes on the form of Zangetsu and Ichigo's hollow turns out to be his actual forged Zanpaktou. Zangetsu/Juha Bach is the central topic of this chapter because Ichigo is now self-aware that he has Quincy powers, Zangetsu was never his Zanpaktou, and Zangetsu is Juha Bach from years ago. What I want to know, aside from the many Bleach fans asking, is why did Zangetsu help out Ichigo in the past? To give him strength, teach him, or use all that combined to later on betray Ichigo. There must an ulterior motive behind this - Juha Bach being Zangetsu could be one of many things. First he's a quincy, not a Zanpaktou, and secondly, if Ichigo now knows he is his enemy, then why did Zangetsu stay with him or furthermore - Juha Bach seems to have a part of Ichigo's life - are they related? Does "my son born in darkness" inquire something about the two characters? Is 1000 year old Zangetsu that Ichigo knew going to explain in the next chapter, turn out to be good, or be evil as he already is presently?
So you see this chapter has gotten much of my attention in my speculations of Ichigo's Quincy and Shinigami powers. The backstory further added to the idea that Ichigo's Mom is a Quincy and Ichigo's Dad is a Shinigami - making him a hybrid child born with the two powers to become the Ultimate Spirit Warrior (cheesy ain't it). I'd say it comes as close to being a perfect chapter w/Ichigo's Zanpaktou explanation with the hollows (His hollow is forging to be his Zanpaktou) and Ichigo's revelation on his Quincy Powers/Zangetsu = Juha Bach from 1000 years ago. I give this week's chapter an A+. Tune in for Friday on this week's Bleach segment
Grade A+
