Ok, there's was a statement (I couldn't find it.) that talk about what Kubo said in a interview about the 1,000 Year Blood War been twice longer than the Fake Karakura Town Arc. (The Fake Karakura Town Arc lasted 4 years.)

(Which started in chapter 319 of the manga, that's Volume 37)

Now that runs from chapters 99-322. That's 10 chapters for each volume.

The Arc started in Volume 37 and ended in Volume 48.

According to this photo that's 12 Volumes. Now according to this photo and starting from Volume 55 we have a total of 15 volume from the 1,000 Year Blood War.

The last Volume we had was volume 70 starting on chapter 633 and ending on chapter 642.

The last chapter was 650. We can deduce that from chapters 643-652, we have another volume. Now we have a total of 17 volumes.

By the look of things it won't end this year or in February like most people expect it to end.

Now the 1,000 Year Blood War Arc has 5 more Volumes than the Fake Karuka Town Arc, if we go by what Kubo said he has already pass the middle ground, he said that it was going to twice as long, right?

That would mean 24 Volumes at least, so we are still 7 Volumes short and that's 70 chapters. 70 chapters are 70 weeks, and we have 52 in a year. Bleach will end probably around February 2017.

Don't believe me, just look at the plot of the story in Bleach right now.

This is below is my speculation:

I think that Kubo left Yukio and Riruka out of the battle for some reason. Like Ichigo said, "an escape plan if they need one" by the look of things when Yhwach awakens he gonna start wrecking stuff up and they would need to fallback, if Yhwach brings the Elite Quincy's back to life again. Maybe they will hide in Hueco Mundo as Yhwach invades the World of the Living. (Urahara left the portal that he created for Yukio's box open, we need Aizen back, the Full bringers and lot of Flashbacks. Kubo said that all the characters families will be revealed.)

That's without counting the Holidays or the Hiatus. Going from what Kubo said in that interview, Bleach is not gonna end soon.

Thoughts on this theory?
