Ganju, Kukaku, Nanao
Rhysno1 15:22, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Hello, i've been wondering, how many characters are there who have seemingly disappeared: Ganju, Kukaku, Nanao ect. I'm just wondering what has happened to these characters and more, because i was expecting to see Ganju and others in the Arancar arc, Heuco mundo arc and Fake Karakura arc's respectively. Any theories?

Well i dont expect to see Ganju or kukaku theyre soul society people so i doubt they'll be seen unless something takes place there, but even then their not the serious enough fighters to be anything more then extras. But i agree what happen to Nanao, i mean out of nowhere i kind of though that rangiku was gonna be helped by her but no it was momo, which no one expected. Nanao is a vice-captain and you dont really see her or know to much about her. Kyoraku is hanging out more Ukitake then he does with his on lieutenant, while ukitake doesnt have one. weird. Where is she? Instigator545 18:48, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Will Isshin and Ryuken join the war?
Does anyone know if it's been hinted that he, Ryuken, Urahara and Yourichi may be involved in the battle? The vizard are but what about these guys, the number of fighters has been brought down to about Stark and most likely Barragan as well as Aizen, Ichimaru and Tosen but i also read somewhere that there's some speculation that it may all just be Aizen's zanpakuto's ability.--SalmanH 16:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

They might be asleep like everyone else. The Viazards were probaly protected because of the barrier.[User:DieJarJarDIe] 12:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I think it is safe to assume that at least Urahara is not asleep considering he is the one who put everyone to sleep under the orders of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. But you never know.

Yoruichi has a tendency to watch from the sidelines then only steps in if she thinks that her side in in trouble. Isshin has only recently regained his shinigami powers, based on his uniform's appearance was a captain or at least fights on the level of a captain. Ryuken is a pretty powerful Quincy, his knowledge certainly is greater than of of his own son. All three characters have pretty strong spiritual pressure so perhaps sleep spell may not have affected them at all, but only future chapters will tell whats happened to them so far.Spacedone 06:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

SalamanH (srry for incorrect spelling) gave me a thought after seeing his/her post, will either or both isshin n ryuken join the fight. Thought it seems uneccessary being shinji n co. showed up. But if that 368 spoiler is correct u think they might come n help. Thoughts. --Jwill35 09:23, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

my guess is there asleep and the vizards aren't because of their barrier. DieJARJARDIE 12:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ha ha, well I am male and in response to DieJARJARDIE they are probably too well informed and smart to end up like that they were given too little screen and page time.--SalmanH 19:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

for the sake of argument the vizards said there was a barrier which they couldn't get through so how would isshin n ryuken? And ryuken is quincy who hates the ss so he would join anyways DieJARJARDIE 19:32, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the real question is would they make much of a difference? I mean we haven't been given any hints as to whether or not they could make much of a difference against Aizen and his soldiers. Now that the Vizards are here I doubt that they will make an appearance. Plus I don't think they are strong enough to keep up with the others. they don't seem much stronger than a typical captain at least.Elementite 12:46, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

When do you think they will show up to helpKensei24 15:37, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

ryuken might hate shinigami but i dont think he'd like aizen to get the big guy's throne. ishiin would have told him about it, though what they're all doing is beyond me. knowing urahara they're gonna jump out when everyone else gets lolpwned.

Thoughts on when Urahara and Tessai will join the fight?
I think that either they will help Ichigo and others get back to the real world, or they are going to help out sometime near the end of the fight, when things start to go to all hell... either that or once Aizen and the others run away =) the series will continue to go on and they will probably need to join the fight during the next part of the saga of Bleach. any thoughts?Bk1217 05:15, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I actually think Urahara is a bit scared of Aizen. He didn't go to Soul Society with the other ryoka in the initial series, and he's been very careful to only intervene when he absolutely has to save someones life. Perhaps it is just caution due to hiding out for so long and paranoia considering how badly Aizen owned him 100 years ago but still, he's starting to overdo it and I'm wondering if he's even gonna show up and let rip. Maybe the vizard will start getting torn to shreds and he'll intervene to save Shinji or Yama. BollyW 08:47, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I see a couple of possibilities. First, Urahara is busy trying to re-open a Garganta to get Ichigo, the captains & co. out of HM. Second, he is involved in maintaining the transfer of the real Karakura Town to Soul Society, and cannot leave it at the moment. Third, he's biding his time to find the right moment to strike at Aizen, so that when he does make his move, it will tip the balance in their favor. Either way, I see Tessai being wherever Urahara is. And with Hachi in the fake town, I see a re-union coming up at some point. But that could just as easily be after the battle is over. But of course, knowing this author, it could easily be something totally different. --Yyp 10:06, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I think it would be neat if Urahara worked on getting the others back from Hueco Mundo (Which im sure he is doing.) But, oh no! Since Orihime wont make it in time, and Hachi is missing an arm. Maybe Tessai could use some Kido and heal up poor torn up Hiyori. Although, it would kind of make Orihime's healing ability not as uncommon as we thought, I mean.. thats all she has :S KamikazeNewf 20:04, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea what Urahara is doing, but i'm certain he isn't afraid of Aizen. The reason he didn't go with the others to save Rukia was shown in the Anime, i'm not sure about the manga. In ep 19 After Ichigo & the others go through the gate, Urahara reaches out & touches it & gets shocked. He then looks at his hand & in the short instant it sustained a minor burn. Maybe he, Yoruichi, & Tessai are the ones holding the barrier in place around the battle. Of course its always possible they have somesort on back-up plan in case the other three pillars holding Karakura Town are broken. Minato88 20:20, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I thought the reason he got burnt then was because the gate had already closed. I guess it makes sense that it required two people to hold the gate open, but I still think that he's still a bit afraid of Aizen's planning skills. Kinda like Lelouch and the Emperor from Code Geass. But whatever, I doubt he'll stay out for long, Kubo has psyched up his bankai too much for him not to show it. BollyW 21:02, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that Tessai has some of the unique kidō that Hachi and Orihime possess... didn't Hachi obtain those abilities after becoming a Vizard? I also think that Hachi may be eager to see Tessai, because he states that he "doesn't want to see anyone in the Gotei 13."

Also, I don't think that Urahara, Tessai, and Yoruichi are actively holding the barrier, but may be the ones to maintain it if it fails. Animeluvr92 02:37, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Isshin and Urahara need to do something
They really do. Isshin has to be hanging around there somewhere, and Urahara hasn't been seen for some time either. Am I mistaken, or has there been some mention of them? All of the good Espadas are gone now. Maybe Urahara will fight Aizen, and finally release the Bankai he's teased us with? Damanos 21:00, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I do see your point here. But I think Urahara IS doing something; he's trying to get the stupid portal to Hueco Mundo up and running again, to get everyone in there out. Yammy wont last long anyway, seeing as he is probably slow and facing 6 captain level opponents. Isshin probably got transported to Soul Society like everyone else in Karakura Town. Either that, or Kubo's cooking up something special for him. --Ulquiorra Wannabe128 21:20, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

How do you know he's slow? He could well end up suprising us all. TomServo101 22:35, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Apparently in a recent TV interview, and this is second hand information so take it with a grain of salt, Kubo said that there would be a mini arc after this arc and then an arc about Isshin's past. If this information is correct, we'll be finding about about Isshin soon! Tinni 23:45, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

An arc about Isshin's past? That would be great, and hopefully it will show both his Shikai and Bankai. Damanos 04:20, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

I hope your rightbecause my jopes are up now.*Builds time machine* Anyone coming?Saimaroimaru 03:21, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, i just assumed Yammy would be slow because he looks like a real fatass in his released state.--Ulquiorra Wannabe128 10:37, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Under normal circumstances, that'd be reasonable. But this is Bleach, normal is left at the door. I've seen it a number of times in anime, where big guys can outrun the heroes, at least to begin with. I mean, look at Allon (or Aeon, or whatever your preference is) He was fast enough to outrun every lieutenant he came across. Yammy is only facing 1 leiutenant and 2 seated officer level opponents atm; the same may apply there. TomServo101 12:31, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

I suppose your right about Bleach being really left-field about the technical stuff. but Allon(i think its that way) was at least humanoid. Yammys a dino with about 18 freaking legs. i wouldnt be surprised if he just stays put at that size.--Ulquiorra Wannabe128 18:44, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Hey that's about 16 extra legs of acceleration over his opponents :P BollyW 06:53, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

longer legs = longer stride    more legs = more stability    yammy is just a spider type tank  Darkgoku 05:19, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Yammy has three captains and two vice captains to deal with, he already owned the other three. He's gonna die. The good guys always win (though hopefully he'll break most of Byakuya's bones, his pride really pisses me off).
