Predictions for after Aizen

[UlquiorraKuchiki]

What do you think will happen in the series after Aizen has been defeated? Still pretty distant I know, but gets me thinking what direction the writers will go. Will they continue with the series, or is the Aizen arc the final chapter of Bleach? And if they do continue the series, what would you expect or want to happen in Bleach? It would be good to keep this thread going for as long as possible as more and more ideas will come as the series progresses.

[TheZarakiKenpachi]

I think it'll be something involving either hell or the king's dimension, I mean after Ichigo beats Aizen and stops him then maybe he'll have to go...do stuff...at king place. Glad I don't have to write it at any rate.

[Houzukimaru]

this has got to be the 100th thread on this

[hell monster]

nothing will happen after aizen
aizen is gotta be the final boss (as they call it in video games), and yeah i think it has to do with hell just like someone said before

[Funksolo]

[seanjohn6742]

I think something will happen in hell.

[Bluke]

Its not writers its writer, Kubo Tite is the sole creator of the manga.

And if it does continue after Aizen I hope its not just for the sake of it (DBZ after the Frieza saga for example), I.e. I hope its not just plucked out of thin air by Kubo, I hope it's something that continues on from and links to Bleach with Aizen.

However im of the opinion that even after his plot to kill the king is over and Aizen is defeated he would come back and continue to be the main villain, he doesn't seem the type to take defeat lying down.

[Fenix]

I think that after the whole aizen situation is finished, ichigo is going to have some desicions to make..... because there is no way that the vizards aren't going to get involved here. I wonder if Soul Society will try to hunt them down thinking they are a threat or something and ichigo will have to choice a side or something. Would be interesting.... but just a thought. XD

[Lilo]

I don't know exactly what will happen. Although if you read the interview in the July Shonen Jump with Tite Kubo he doesn't know when the series will end. And hasn't even thought of how it will end. Well which is good for all of us. :amused:

I doubt it because I am pretty sure Soul Society will need the Vizard's help in defeating the arrancars.

[justin43]

I also doubt that Soul Society will decide to hunt down the Vaizards especially if they learn of the events in the last back story chapter. From what I know, Soul Society didn't figure out that Aizen, Tousen, and Gin were involved in the vaizard affair that led to the banishment of a good number of captains. Sorry, if I went off topic. To answer the actual question, I think the next story will involve the King's dimension.

[HanakoAbarai]

Aizen should be beaten and die, but will he? To be honest, it would be quite radical, because everyone was saying how balanced the Bleach world is, and currently beating Aizen would mean beating the other Espada too, therefore significantly reducing the Arrancar and the flexibility of Hueco Mundo. Something else will happen, either allowing Aizen and Ichimaru to escape (maybe to the King's dimension, maybe somewhere else, depends on the outcome of the battle) while Tousen dies; or Aizen will suffer the ultimate defeat and Ichimaru and Tousen will continue on their own.
Did read in some interview with KT that Momo has some unfinished business with Ichimaru - that poor soul is probably blaming him for corrupting her favourite captain.

[Bluke]

Hmm, well he's still planning it all ahead by a fairly large amount (fairly obvious from how the backstory sort of connects with everything) so aslong as he keeps that up I think Bleach would continue to be good, aslong as he doesn't go down the same road as DBZ.

[Capital_J]

I certainly hope Aizen is the last part of Bleach. This series has never really had a plot to me other than girls getting kidnapped ^^ If this series were to continue after Aizen I would be disappointed but I would of course watch it. I feel Bleach after Aizen would be like.. One Piece after Yonkou defeat + finding One Piece, but I'm weird so

[Bankai - Ichigo]

I think the series will go on. But something tells me that after the Winter War, Aizen, Gin and Tousen won't be defeated but they'll have to go and recuperate somewhere and get their strength back. And there'll also be a lot of casualties on both sides, everyone will have to recuperate. I'm thinking Aizen, Gin and Tousen will go into the King's Realm after resting a bit and then they'll take over. After that SS will make preparations to confront Aizen in the King's Realm so then the final battle against Aizen will take place in the King's Realm. After Aizen's defeated they'll probably show Hell and the final enemy will be from there.

[m2mmus]

The trouble with these sorts of manga/anime is that after a certain point, if it doesnt stop, it gets very repetitive. A comparison was made earlier comparing this with dragonball z. As much as I love it, after frieza, it was literally, powerful enemy turns up, good guys get stroner, bad guy gets stronger, both go through various transformations, good guys win. It wasnt even about the dragonballs anymore.

This is the case with Bleach. Everytime a new enemy appears, they find a way to become stronger. Sometimes through training, sometimes through transformations, eventually it happens. Where else, realistically, can they go after the war? TK may have ideas, but I just hope that if it does continue (and i really hope it does) it doesnt continue because TK refuses to say die and wants to milk it for all it's worth. Hopefully he has something up his sleeves

Yeah, I agree with you. As much as I want Bleach to continue, Kubo is really going to have to turn it around to keep it fresh. There is a lot in the Bleachverse that could be explored like Hell and the King's Realm, but if it's the same "girl gets kidnapped, Ichigo rushes off with friends in tow" then Bleach will become a poor imitation of something that was once great.

Yes, but wasn't the topic predictions after Aizen.. I don't think this battle will be the final one but when Aizen gets defeated I sure hope that's the end of this great series :I

[Bluke]

Definately, it will end with Aizen's FINAL defeat, though theres no telling how long we will be around for, His Zan's ability makes it hard to know for sure (everyone could think he's died and BAM he comes back with a vengeance)


This is the case with Bleach. Everytime a new enemy appears, they find a way to become stronger. Sometimes through training, sometimes through transformations, eventually it happens.

The thing is in DBZ the powerups were always random and inexpelicable (What theres a SSJ3?!) whereas in Bleach there is some kind of backstory and reasonable explanation to them (like his hollow mask, that was being set up from very early in the series), the only time powerups kind of appear as if out of nowhere is when Bankai is revealed (and Ishida's quincy final form, although I think that may have had some foreshadowing aswell), I dont think any anime is as bad as DBZ when it come to random and compeltely unexplained powerups.

[SecondSin]

I see 2 possibilities.

1) Aizen get's backstabbed at some point by Gin. I'd love that but i don't think it very likely to happen considering that Aizen could beat the living shite out of Gin in an instant. And Gin knows it too!

2) Aizen doesnt get killed until the very end, however long that will take. To be honest, Kubo whriting didn't really do it for me anymore. I have to admit that the whole new arc in the manga is REALLY cool!! But still... In the recent past he hasn't gotten to his SS-arc level storywise, so i'm really hoping for something good. At any rate, Sousuke will be around for another while i suspect...

[UlquiorraKuchiki]

I think that it would really have to end with the Kings Realm, because there isn't really any other part of the Bleach world that can be explored. If it continued after that it would probably turn into another Dragonball Z, which I might add I am a fan of the whole of, but it was very repetitive after Frieza like some have said. If it was going to go down that road then I would rather that Bleach came to a close and be left remembered as an awesome series.

[annsaint]

i also feel it's time for bleach to end. they keep adding characters and do nothing with them. and death would be too easy on aizen. he should be forced to play infinite tag with insane hinamori for all eternity in hueco mundo.

[UlquiorraKuchiki]

I swear if Kubo goes all Digimon with the whole "new generation" thing that seems to happen alot these days after Aizen, I will personally fly over to his house and backhand him lol

[Callipygian]

Hell arc or King arc or Zero division arc or something completely unexpected but some how fits in arc. To think that we're already aware of everything of importance in the world of Bleach is a bit naive, i think.

Has anyone thought of the possibility of other captains? Like, maybe Seireitei equates to one city in a nation of more than one? I bring this up because i've been rereading the manga and there's a lot of foreboding dialogue that could possibly support this.

[m2mmus]

The thing is in DBZ the powerups were always random and inexpelicable (What theres a SSJ3?!) whereas in Bleach there is some kind of backstory and reasonable explanation to them (like his hollow mask, that was being set up from very early in the series), the only time powerups kind of appear as if out of nowhere is when Bankai is revealed (and Ishida's quincy final form, although I think that may have had some foreshadowing aswell), I dont think any anime is as bad as DBZ when it come to random and compeltely unexplained powerups.

yeah, dbz was a little silly looking back. still love it...but can't help looking back and thinking the constant powerups were ridiculous. i still refuse to acknowledge ssj4...

and definately, bleach explains the power ups a little better so that's acceptable. But let's imagine for a minute, Aizen is beaten eventually and the series does continue. Mabye there's a backlash from the events that took place in the war and another story arc begins featuring the kings dimension/hell/or some other dimesion that as of yet hasn't been mentioned. The characters would theoretically need to get stronger and more powerups. This would be fine for some (I honestly don't think we'll see everyone's shikai/bankais so we can see them there), but what about the others? Where do they go? Will Chad get full body armour and be like guyver (i'd love to see that) will Uryu get a full on quincy arsenal, possibly a gattling gun? And what about Ichigo of course? where can he go? There are possibilities of course which we haven't explored yet as to how they get stronger but I'm not sure what explanation they can give without it seeming dbzish.

I think if they beat Aizen and continued the series it wouldnt work as well. What would be better would be one offs or the odd movie.
However, what's more realistic. Is if in the final fight, they...don't quite beat Aizen, just delay his plans. He disappears and the new series is set several years in the future. Sadly certain good guys would have to die to make room for others, new captains and other shinigami, or certain people take over those positions, so you've got them almost starting fresh to avoid powering up even more, you have new people go down a similar path.

Well most of that is off the top of my head anyway...either way, if it does continue, i'm sure most of us will still watch it, no matter what it's like...as long as they cut down on fillers...

[TokyoCherry]

Sadly, I think the series will end. I can't really think of what could happen... then again, I'm not very creative.

I like that idea... it'd be a good way to keep Bleach going and there'd still be new characters and stuff. I love it when anime jumps into the future. They shouldn't make Aizen being the antagonist so repetative though *cough*TeamRocket*cough*. >__<

[Vamyan]

I reckon that a new evil character will appear, something to do with the King's bit, may have to fight against him or something =S Maybe Ichigo even becoming a Captain, would be interesting

[Chimp Dudley]

I think that Bleach should end after Aizen's defeat. Based upon revelations at the end of the SS arc, the entire series up to that point and since have been about the Aizen as a villain story arc. At this point, I think Bleach is at a lower quality then it was at the height of the SS arc and if another story is created after Aizen (or if this current story is drug on too much longer), I expect it to probably decline more. I think that it should end after Aizen.

However, if Bleach is still successful by Aizen's end, I expect the series to continue afterwards due to the pressures of popularity.

[btill9000]

Simple... The vaizard will become the new antagnoist.

[He's a Mentalist]

Bleach should ultimately end in Aizen's defeat, unless KT has something pulling the strings for Aizen. Someone within the Gotei-13 maybe? It can possibly be made in an awesome manner if done right. Hopefully they put a dent in Aizen plans, thus causing him to retreat and rebuild like m2mm said. Or, have Aizen escape into the King's realm acquire the remaining 10 Vasto Lorde's and have them protect him. Of course Aizen would have won the WW. Put on a time skip, and now introduce new characters, and prepare for some upheaval from the ones who survived Aizen's attack.

[darkhole]

I swear if Kubo goes all Digimon with the whole "new generation" thing that seems to happen alot these days after Aizen, I will personally fly over to his house and backhand him lol

Actually, that would be kind of sweet. Because that's 1 of the things I enjoy about bleach right now, "the world kubo has created." I actually wouldn't mind it if Kubo, and only kubo created some type of alternate bleach series where we have a brand new list of captains and vc's. That could actually work out really well because then their wouldn't be a need to create some type of trikai, quadkai, pentakai, etc, lol. He could use the normal captain limit of power with the exception of a few extremely powerful characters and still create a nice story. Then we would have new character abilities to look forward to. Kubo has created the type of story where even when it ends, because of how big and complex the "bleach universe" itself is he could forever create awesome stories from it.

Like for instance Harry Potter. The Harry Potter plot was awesome but what really drew me in was the world itself. Whenever I finished reading a book I felt like I was leaving another world. Harry Potter is the type of world where any good author can create some epic story that stem from the world itself. I mean, I read some pretty cool fanfictions before where people created their own original characters and storyline.

[BRUTE BANKI]

Azien could maybe be not the last boss because kubo is in the goal set to make bleach last longer than db, dbz, dbgt. Now that he know that is show is this damn populary this days quiting seems not enough making it better and longer would really milk out the cash of the series.

[Cataclysm]

It's not going to go on for ever, so for those who want to explore the world of a story, pay very close attention to it, because not a lot will be revealed after it ends.. It's a sad truth.

What would be intruiging if Aizen wanted them to kill him, or maybe all three of them, so they could become Vizard.. That leaves an option for another arc or an extended arc.

We get new captains to replace the three that has left, Hinamori has to confront Aizen or his army at least..

There could be a few possibilities, but I wish it was more integrated with the story line like in the SS arc, where we had two parallel stories ending up colliding at the climax of the arc.

[Paragon]

The Vizards hate Shinigamis so there is potential there for another few arcs after Aizen.

[BRUTE BANKI]

I hope kubo having forgot the eye or hell king behind azien when he made his exscape....that would be pretty weak if he did:sad:

[Viron]

Maybe some Hollow god thing will show up with SUPER-hollows?

[BRUTE BANKI]

Yeh it could be that the final boss was the hell king and ichigo would become the soul king and defeat him causing solar systems to explode.....but azien is to damn smart to be defeated like a pon and the story is move on to next arc..The New Mission of Hell Of Where it All Started"..the hell arc..dbz prokai?

[frack]

^Obvious troll is obvious.

I'm inclined to believe that Bleach will be over after Aizen. However, there is a possibility that the Vaizards could provide an arc.

[vitopimpin]

if they do continue with the series, then i belive they might make another series based in the future or past. or maybe another shit "boss" but if the anime keeps to it pattern then after this arc (in a yearish) they're gonna make another filler, i think

[Milkshake]

After aizen's defeat.... it would probably a story with the vizards and shinigamis.... that's my guess..

[Rascal0302]

As many have said, the underworld will probably have to do with something in the future. If they do go in the underworld, my guess is Ichigo somehow gets trapped in there, and instead of him always leading the pack, he has to fight his way out while the others deal with stuff in the normal world. He would return of course, more powerful and at a key moment(like if Rukia is about to be killed) The Vaizards also hopefully will be in the future. I doubt they were introduced just to teach Ichigo how to use his hollow power.

Or, Aizen uses his awesomeness to escape his inevitable defeat....and so the story continues for Ichigo and pals while he does his own thing.

ALSO, lets not forget Hollow Ichigo still has a huge role to play. Ichigo is only using the tip of his powers...

No matter what, Bleach probably won't end soon. Its too popular. The second movie was just released while a third was announced a few days before. Memories of Nobody actually came to the theaters in the US, and will be released dubbed sometime next month....not to mention the manga sales or the fact that a lot of things still have to happen/haven't been capitalized on yet.

[Ruzabaka]

I dunno but I hope to God it doesn't do a Yu Yu Hakusho flip and turn from cool to just "Wow....that's so....stupid......." I mean seriously, Yuske should have died after being beaten by Sensui, then I enjoyed everyone else getting pissed and charging after sensui, but then everyone should have died.

Moving on, still pissed about that though...

[darkhole]

You and me both. Sensui is 1 of my all time favorite anime characters. His 7 personalities were classic.

[Yoruichi-hime]

after aizen's defeat Bleach will end... Aizen was the best villan tite could ever come up with...maybe the best in all anime history!...if the story continues after aizen...it means that the next villain must be more powerful!!! that's very impossible because aizen(i think!) is the closest thing to absolute perfection!

[Soltir]

Or maybe another villain and a sucky bleach from there after.

[Yoruichi-hime]

hmm....not a chance!

[Soltir]

Why? It has happened to many anime before.

[Yoruichi-hime]

that villain would suck hard

[TokyoRacer]

I personally think that current filler of crap we are seeing is what happens directly after the Aizen Arc. Which I would guess Aizen and all his associated were defeated. I could be very wrong. Maybe it's just a silly story.


I had this really great idea for a story that takes place after the current Aizen arc that involves Aizen and his associates winning and defeating Soul society...

[UltimateX]

I will be some upset with KT if he does what that chick who wrote Inuyasha did: she admitted to never having a real plan and dragged the manga out for over 10 years! I was like 7-8 when it started and 18-19 when it ended!

KT needs to end Bleach after Aizen and use all the money he is earning from it to start up that high-end fashion label he has been working on through out the course of the series.

[TokyoRacer]

I don't personally think he should end Bleach after Aizen. The characters of Bleach are too compelling and there is too much story he could do with them. I personally would love to see the origins of the shinigami academy and the whole back story behind Yamamoto.

But the real question is, if Aizen and all his associates are defeated...what could possibly happen? A story arc with the Shinigami v.s. the Vizard?

An idea would be, maybe someone in the area known as "hell", which has not been explored, only briefly explained and seen, decides it's time for all the really terrible spirits who have been vanquished there to rise up and conquer both the real world and Soul Society...?

I think it's interesting since Hell is not connected to either the real world, soul society, or the Hollow world and it's a world which is completely untold of...so anything could be possible with it.

[redfable]

What do you think will happen in the series after Aizen has been defeated? Still pretty distant I know, but gets me thinking what direction the writers will go. Will they continue with the series, or is the Aizen arc the final chapter of Bleach? And if they do continue the series, what would you expect or want to happen in Bleach? It would be good to keep this thread going for as long as possible as more and more ideas will come as the series progresses.
well think about this what if it is the end and the bad guys win?

[Shiba_Kaien-182]

I have a feeling Aizen's death will end it all but Tite Kubo should explore even more into the back stories of Zaraki, Isshin, Kaien, Soifon, Yoruichi, Urahara(we only saw when he became a captain what about before that and how he met Yoruichi), Yamamoto(when he was young, who trained him and when he started Soul Reaper Academy etc). Maybe some of the other Captains and lieutenants too. But if they did do a story after Aizen apart from back stories, they should maybe focus on Hell(like the gates of hell shown in series one), more about The Spirit King and his kingdom, the noble families or Squad 0

[manymanymomok]

Well, I personally think it will end with the defeat of Aizen.

Then KT will write spin-off mangas with backstories on important interesting characters for fan-service. =)

[Afrojack]

Probably just an epilogue, Ichigo as captain or something. If the story does continue, it'll probably be somekind of aftermath where Aizen makes a pact with the Devil or something, lulz. That might be interesting.

[Maruna]

For the most part, I think Kubo has a cool head about this. I don't think Bleach will run some 500 episodes or manga chapters, and that Aizen's defeat will either turn something new revelation, or the series will end.

Of course, he could always pull a Jojo's, and just start on a "Part II" with a whole new cast, almost entirely unrelated to the current Bleach.

[Davo1515]

i think that itl hav somthin to do with vaizards if not already solved, like if yama-ji will let them back, or they will fight SS, or somthin to do with kings area.

[Wras]

Spinoff series including Kenpachi killing things, ending in his very epic death.

Seriously though, I wouldn't mind if Aizen died and, somehow, his death led to some...discovery of some object or secret or something as long as he does it well. Like in WoW when you kill a boss and the drop a letter written by/to/about the boss to the next dungeon =P. Like it's been said, stuff about hell (meh..), and obviously the vizards, the royal guard and backstories galore will keep this train a-runnin.

[lelouche]

another mini series would be awesome similar to the turn back the pendulum. I'd like to learn a lot more about ss and its history and the back stories of the characters.

[shinji]

Something from hell like a son or something dunno something will come up anyway.

[lilkuti3girl]

like most, i think its gonna be about hell/

[NekoTron]

Sure Hell!!! I'm curious how will be this place...

[Danzavare]

Well, I personally think it will end with the defeat of Aizen.

Then KT will write spin-off mangas with backstories on important interesting characters for fan-service. =)

I don't see why back stories can't be incorporated into a new arc, hopefully to further develop characters like Chad, Ishida and Orihime. I'd like to see these characters along with the more prominent ones (Well, mainly Ichigo) have their own purposes or goals that lead them on separate paths but link up at certain times. It would nicely contrast the current arc in my opinion. While I like this current arc, it'd be a shame to have something similar with different faces in an upcoming arc.

I don't think they'll end Bleach for a long while, I think the series has much more ground to explore and due to the massive world its set in can always add different types of characters (Like they added Vizards....or to a lesser extent Bounto).

[LAZAR0]

Hm, another "And then what?" thread. Well, just I just wanna mention an interesting thing I read in one of Kubo's interviews: It was Rukia, the Bleach character Kubo developed as very first one. Hence I felt Kubo considers her "special", even more special than Ichigo. So, regarding this thread topic, I would go with something like "Part 2": Aizen is defeated and considered dead (yes, just considered), Ichigo is put in background (maybe as captain, maybe he continues on Subsitute Shinigami job, but still being able of cameos) and Rukia meets "a brand new interesting boy"...

No, I don't like it this way as well. But yes, makes perfect sense to me.

[Tefresh]

I think that Ichigo's hollow comes out somehow(probably using it fully to defeat Aizen) and tries to take over soul society(remember Yamamoto said if Hichigo ever took control the whole world would be destroyed) or something along those lines. To have Ichigo's spiritual pressure and amount of it, to have all of his powers plus hollow powers, along with the fighting killer instinct it's not impossible.

[Baishin]

I'd like to say they do a few chapters on things changin in Soul Society...

For exmaple the Vaizard's returning to their rank that they were in Soul Society, or forced to take lower positions which will make plenty of jokes.

Urahara and Yoruichi returning to Soul Society, with Yoruichi as Soi Fong's somewhat subordinate and Urahara as well.

just a bunch of weird stuff I suppose.

[ExStark]

Hopefully it won't end with Aizens death even though that is the most likely situation but that after the fights going on now the vaizards will show up after the last espada falls and yamamoto will notice the vaizard (and I doubt this) leave Aizen alone and concentrate on the vaizard and the rest of thecaptains will start fighting them aowwing Aizen and the others to lave and redo their original plans. Thus maybe a new arc will be created with the viazards vs soul society before finishing with Aizens death in a final arc.

I would like to see something like that happening but if anything Aizen will either die here or run away and the viazards will show up and join soul society in order to get revenge on Aizen then after thats over with turn on SS and fight them in a final arc.

[fakeobsession]

I don't wanna see Aizen dying!
I would prefer Yama's death than Aizen's... (sorry I hate him, can't help it)
ExStark I find your idea interesting though you defeated all Espada's.
Neah,maybe they survive! (lol) But the new arc Vizards vs SS wow...looks cool

[VegetaFan7]

I heard that there are going to be at least 2 more arcs after this one.

[fakeobsession]

What do you mean two more arcs?About Vizards?
Or 'till Bleach's end.

[VegetaFan7]

I am a member on Saiyan Island also, and I put a thread saying will bleach end. And some person said there would be 2-3 more arcs after this one. I'll see what they are...........

1. Named Royal Guards

2. The Kings Legacy

[Seanc]

Bleach will probably end after that.

[VegetaFan7]

That would suck majorly if it did.

[Mikeno]

Aizens demise will most likely trumpet the end of Bleach.. I mean shit we are on season 8 or something like that.. shit can't go on forever man..

[fakeobsession]

I am a member on Saiyan Island also, and I put a thread saying will bleach end. And some person said there would be 2-3 more arcs after this one. I'll see what they are...........

1. Named Royal Guards

2. The Kings Legacy

So Royal Guard & Kings Legacy are related obviously with Aizen,right?

[VegetaFan7]

I guess. I had forgot they had to meet the king and stuff.

[Goroth]

After Aizen's defeat, i believe there will be two options available for the team and TK.

A. Assuming that Aizen is the so called BIG BOSS, an epic long fight involving Ichigo will end the series and by most anime/manga general rules, the protagonist emerges victorious to close the series with glory to the good guys.
This is option a. After this the series might take a long break and might come back as spin-off series.

B. Aizen gets owned and the series still progresses and reveals more detailed information about the King, Hueco Mundo and so on. The enemies might turn out to be internal-struggle based or super hollows.

[Pixie_]

Finally an amazingly good topic. I do realize nobody knows this, but I thought this would be a good thing to bring up a small discussion about. What is the thing that was in the background when Aizen fled to HM?

http://manga.bleachexile.com/bleach-...78-page-6.html (http://manga.bleachexile.com/bleach-chapter-178-page-6.html)

Could it be an Espada resurrected form?.. or possible someone with 'higher rank' then Aizen in HM ? That has yet to be unseen. Please do give me your opinions.

Also we haven't seen Hell yet.

[JasonMasters420]

My theory, is that when Inoue was still a "prisoner" of Aizen's. Aizen was talking to Inoue about her powers, and he mentioned that she had a power to make things as they never happened. I reckon he was gonna manipulate this power to his advantage. Which he still could, but as Inoue knelt down against the wall, she started to cry if I am not mistaken , and she said something along the lines of, going back in time and making sure the King's Key was never created. Which as many of u seen the "Back To The Future" series. MEANING, if u mess with the past, u will change the future. So if Inoue does make it that the King's Key is never created as she will do when I am sure she discivers how to use that power. The future will be ultimately chance. Aizen wouldnt realize that he could over throw The Soul Society, which would keep him on the Gotei side of life as opposed to the Espada side. And I am sure the ranks of the Espadas would be different.

So this is just one theory on what the outcome might be with Inoue changing history. From there, the writers can write in any new enemy they so see fit.

[VegetaFan7]

It kinda looks like an eye(which it probably isn't). I have no idea what it could be.

[krnxracer90]

I think that after Aizen is defeated.....Kubo might look into introducing a new type of villain, which starts another endless series. As for everyone saying that it might have to do with the king....that is a good prediction but I don't think so because all the royal guards are there....protecting the king. I just hope that by the time Bleach ends.....every captain shows us there shikai and Bankai and go fight some extreme enemy and defeat them.

[nightmare_beta]

its simple really.
the series will end like this:
Aizen sheathes Kyoka Suigetsu.
.............................and smiles.

[Sarvik]

Eh, I dont think that stuff like Hell should come after Aizen's death, if Kubo wants to bring Hell or whatever in, then in my opinion it could be done better when Aizen is alive. Like Aizen could fucking invade Hell just because he is awesome.

[ginchan]

ok, when Aizen's coup came to its conclusion and he fled from the execution grounds, he mentioned that he would take the role of god because the throne was empty.
what i would love to see happen is this.
after all the other battles in 'karakura', aizen finally has to face off against yama-jii. aizen is blind-sided and killed by the fabulous gin. he in turn, due to yama-jii and the rest of the captains being in such weak states, is able to conclude the creation of the king's key.
Making his way through the royal guard, gin places himself upon the throne that aizen had so desired for many a year. now being on the throne would cause massive turmoil, because seireitei would owe allegiance to 'god' and do his bidding. i think that after this, the majority of higher-up shinigami would secede from SS and another full-scale war would erupt between the two factions, this time the 'good guys' actually being on the 'bad side'.
Go Gin!

[JelloMan]

Bleach will ultimately end with Aizen. That much is rather obvious I think. Considering that we've learned about the Royal Guard, Aizen intends to get the King's Key, and that no other baddie has revealed himself to be as nasty as Aizen, I think that signals the end of Bleach. Many have said a spin-off series could be in order and that would be the logical thing, but no other big villian I'd say.

As for finding more about Hell, I doubt that may come into play until the very end. I see that being Aizen's final destination. Maybe that's where he came from in the first place??

[Yadomaru]

What I'm curious about is what was that big fucking whatever-it-was behind the Gillian that picked up Aizen and his flunkies...Maybe Kubo could do something with that?
But in all likelihood Bleach will end with Aizen's defeat.

[CaptainDean]

I think either Aizen will be killed (hopefully not) or he will go into hiding then major restructing of the 13 squads will be needed as 3rd 5th and 9th have no captain and the 13th no vice captain in this scenario either some of the vizards will be forgiven as Aizen was the real villain and would take up positions in the squads or the vice captains of the divisions without captains might become captains and perhaps new characters will be introduced to fill some of the void

[kochito22]

9th*

I'm not sure if they'd let the vaizards go back to their old captain spots. Shinigami have been purifying hollows for thousands of years. It'd be awkward if some of their leaders are part hollow.

[Spectre]

Well, i think Hichigo will somehow be the main antanogist of the series!! It will be uber cool if he got seperated from Ichigo' body!!

[Bankai0238]

"What I'm curious about is what was that big fucking whatever-it-was behind the Gillian that picked up Aizen and his flunkies...Maybe Kubo could do something with that?
But in all likelihood Bleach will end with Aizen's defeat."

I agree. It will end with aizen's defeat. What will happen is probably some uber shinigami torney with all the captains facing off in a non-lethal fight to see who is the best captain. I mean thats what all most all anime's end with right lmao. That huge thing in the background is probably either stark or wonderwise lol. I think wonderwise is gonna be a huuuge problem. He's probably atleast VL level.

[SBowman]

Why do people consider Wonderwise to be of Vastro-Lorde level? There's nothing to have dictated Wonderwise as Vastro Lorde level.

[Hitsugaya_Hinamori]

I think after aizen their will be another enemy but not strong like aizen strong like the leader of the bounts.Or HM will envade SS.

[Inazagi]

Why do people consider Wonderwise to be of Vastro-Lorde level? There's nothing to have dictated Wonderwise as Vastro Lorde level.

The fact that he was introduced as being born during Aizen's demonstration, was named, and is currently hidden from all view holds SOME significance. Not to mention how he surprised Urahara with his speed and stealth.

[CaptainDean]

i changed it i always makethat mistake i often think tousen was in 7th for some reason

[kochito22]

Why do people consider Wonderwise to be of Vastro-Lorde level? There's nothing to have dictated Wonderwise as Vastro Lorde level.

In the manga page where Wonderwise was turned into an arrancar, there was a page that showed him looking humanoid before arrancarnization.

[CaptainDean]

I think after aizen their will be another enemy but not strong like aizen strong like the leader of the bounts.Or HM will envade SS.

That is a possibility however those types of villains are meant for filler arcs for the anime, in retrospect to continue bleach after Aizen, that is if they decide to kill him off, will need a stronger villain so the characters can grow and develop

[Valionx]

I think it'll become Ichigo&SS vs Zero Division for some reason.

The 0 div. is the only currently known team that could be stronger than Aizen's team.

[Skirr]

I think you guys are getting a bit ahead of yourselves with this.
Bleach is like a lot of past animes is many respects, but very unlike DragonBall and DBZ in its arc changes. In DragonBall Z when Goku bet the final villain of the saga (or Gohan in Cell's case) they would get over it and wait for the next one to arrive. Bleach defies this set up immediately with NOT introducing ANY main villains in the first arc, the Karakura/Ichigo Soul Reaper arc, and leaving it with the ambiguous Hollows.

Swiftly followed up by a chase into the "enemy" stronghold, in the Rescue Rukia and subsequent arc. The main villain of the series was not introduced until... the end of the third arc. And this gives me the very clear and distinct impression that Aizen will be one of the only or even the only main villain of the series.

But if there is to be a follow up, it will not just go out "Yey we beat Aizen, let's settle down go back to one-hitting some Hollows and--- OMFG WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT GUY HE IS LIKE OVER 9000 TIMES STRONGER THAN AIZEN OHNOES." There will, most likely, be a much cleaner less jarring transition from bad guy to bad guy. Which is why I think it's pointless to guess.

tl;dr Aizen has had way too much build up to be thinking about a new bad guy just yet, or even to presume he will be the first of many.

[UraharaX]

I hope the series doesnt continue after aizen no offence but it has dragged out to much already with fillers i decided to skip season 9 i was so over it if they do continue the series it would have to be really really good not mediocre

[skycrapper]

But I think the very idea of a God's Realm leads to yet another potential of stronger and bigger (and more bizarre? Hope not.) enemies . . . not that I'm saying there are bad guys up there, but the God's Realm is yet another, different world from the Soul Society we know. We don't know yet what's up there . . . heck, we don't even know what's "behind there" resembles a closed eye when Aizen, Gin and Tousen went up engulfed in the Negacion back in the earlier episodes, so there's still something we don't know about Hueco Mundo despite the fact that we've gone so far now.

To me, Bleach still got may things ready to develop, even AFTER Aizen. Looking forward to it.

[RipVanRagnarok]

I think it'll end with Aizen's demise, unless Kubo has an ace up his sleeve.

[Guilty Dark]

Well, I think that they might incorporate the Kings dimension. Perhaps warring with the Shinigami about Aizen?

[Rosh]

im not concrete on it but i think the whole spirit king thing will be covered during aizens reign, i reckon he will get to the kings dimension but ichigo stops him and it ends. Think about it they mentioned the zero division so they got to show it right? i think so ^^

[Ray Joakim]

There's still so much to cover. The eye behind the gillian who burst out over the demolished Sokyoku, the gates of hell and the huge arm that comes out of it. Information on how Shiba Kuukaku is in debt to Uruhara, the backstory with Isshin and Ryouken. Explanations for Orihime & Chad's manifestations of power despite being human. The fact that Ichigo is a human with both shinigami and hollow powers, along with a real body. Still plenty of Bleach to go.

[nightmare_beta]

id rather it end with the victory of Aizen.
he simply sheathes Kyoka Suigetsu smiles, and BAMM the show is over.

[Rosh]

i agree with ray joakim

[jovianna's_last_stand]

I completely agree with the idea that there is so much more to explain. I really want to know where Orihime and Chad's powers come from. I want to know if there is significance to the fact that Ichigo looks so much like Kaien Shiba. Learning about Isshin would really help us out-- perhaps another 'Turn back the Pendulum?' I loved those chapters SO much. It really explained a lot about Aizen. Kubo is a genius-- he has the tendency to sate us with explanatory chapters. Which is why I believe he will deliver the goods on everything we've been curious about.

[littlemagi]

THE END :)

[lurch]

There's still so much to cover. The eye behind the gillian who burst out over the demolished Sokyoku, the gates of hell and the huge arm that comes out of it. Information on how Shiba Kuukaku is in debt to Uruhara, the backstory with Isshin and Ryouken. Explanations for Orihime & Chad's manifestations of power despite being human. The fact that Ichigo is a human with both shinigami and hollow powers, along with a real body. Still plenty of Bleach to go.

Most of that should be covered along with the story arc that aizen is under.
The zero division,kings key and most of the characters should be updated within their fights. The goal of aizen will come close to being accomplished which should give us alot of the information you wish to know.


On a lighter note......After Fukias death by the plotkai immune Aizen bleach stories have improve 10x automatically.

[temari]

Emm...Well, Aizen will succeed in creating the Kings Key, which will start the "Heaven" Arc i suppose. (And that will be our chance to know everything about the Zero division and maybe some backstories about Isshin and Ryouken)
But not before more fillers, of course.
Then Aizen will be defeated in that arc, probably.
Then indeed, the only arc left would be some kind of Hell arc.

[Rosh]

^ That would be intresting and its what I was thinking aswell

[Nana]

That's exactly what I was thinking, temari-chan! ^^ I do hope we get to know more about the Royal Guard/Zero Division since I think Tite Kubo won't be stressing about that when Aizen is still alive. And I'm guessing that there's a great chance that Aizen will have created the King's Key by that time.

[sapphirelullaby]

Another reason I don't think the series will end after Aizen is because its obvious that Kubo is planning on making Ichigo's friends involved in some way shape or form. I mean, I don't see how he can get them involved with what's happening now. Unless the whole Aizen thing will keep going until another arc or two. Who knows? And yes, the whole Isshin and Ishida's dad (I forgot his name) thing also needs to be explained, aswell as the future/end of the Vizards.

[Arqueus]

I think there is no "after aizen". Judging by his level of power and intelligence I think Aizen will never truly be defeated, or if he is, the level of sacrifice needed for it to happen will change the show so much theyll have to stop it or do a spinoff series to continue it.

[pumpkin13]

Nah... The end of Aizen might see the end of Yama, and maybe Kenpachi, Byakuya, Koma, Shunsui and Ukitake. Unohana would take over, there'd obviously be plenty of promotions... probably some new characters introduced to take VC seats.

Yeah, I mean it's evident that Tatsuki and the other two guys from Ichigo's class will eventually be developing powers, Kubo wouldnt leave that plot thread hanging open for no reason.

Well... if Hollows are the equivalent Bad ghosts... then I guess "Demons" would be another level of evil entity, and Angels the equivelent good... but im not sure if i'd want Bleach to take such an obviously religious turn...

[Skirr]

If it's gunna be based around Japanese folklore a little heavier I doubt Angels and Demons will be part of it. A Hell arc might come up, not necessarily after Aizen, but it might.

[pumpkin13]

Oni and Shinto deities then...

[Gear4]

Emm...Well, Aizen will succeed in creating the Kings Key, which will start the "Heaven" Arc i suppose. (And that will be our chance to know everything about the Zero division and maybe some backstories about Isshin and Ryouken)
But not before more fillers, of course.
Then Aizen will be defeated in that arc, probably.
Then indeed, the only arc left would be some kind of Hell arc.

A "Hell arc" would be nice. Afterall if there are shinigamis in Heaven, wouldn't there be some in Hell? But something tells me its gonna be backwards. Shinigamis are death gods. When we look at the word death god we see it as something from hell. But in the world of Bleach, death gods are in heaven. So wouldn't that means there'll be angels down below? Its wierd but I'll be looking forward to it.

[pumpkin13]

Not really... I don't look at the word Death God and see something from Hell... I see somebody maybe like Hades, greek god of death, now yeah he presided over the underworld, but the underworld covered BOTH a hellish area and a divine serene area, and bits inbetween. I think the closest thing I can think of would be Valkyries, who accompany/guide dead heroes to Valhalla (again not a "Heaven" but an afterlife, both with good and bad parts).

Soul Society would not be the equivelent of heaven either, if it was, Hueco Mundo would be the equivalent of Hell, and it really isn't. SS is far too distopian to be heaven too.

[Gear4]

There's really a hell in the world of Bleach.
http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/12/11/
http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/12/14/
Though its in the very beginning, I wouldn't mind Kubo make it as the antagonist after Aizen.

[pumpkin13]

Yeah, we know, and thats why I cite that Soul society is not the heaven oppositional to Hell, as Hueco Mundo is the oppositional to soul society.

[skycrapper]

I really hope that KT would not name it a Hell or Heaven arc. Can't get Seiya off of my head when I say the words . . . and it's disturbingly awful.

But anyway, elaboration of hell would be nice, given the epic of its appearance through the links above, and seeing the anime portrayal . . .

Oooh, I can vaguely see the evil sibling of Gin's Shinsou in action (Shinsou = God of Spear?), if there's any :D

[BLEACHED3888]

I think it will be something to do with hell definitely, i mean it was mentioned so that probably will go back to it at some point

i wonder if ichigo will be with oriham or rukia though....hmmm

[MajinKiba]

After Aizen saga why not do a World tournament like in Dragonball to see who's the strongest of all :P

90% fighting 10% braging!

[anubis609]

I haven't backtracked through this thread entirely, but so far it seems like Hell might be involved. That seems plausibly obvious, given it would involve an actual death of a Shinigami, or former Shinigami, I should say.

Assuming if Gin and Tousen are gone along with Aizen, I would like to nominate Urahara as a possible post-Aizen antagonist, if no one's mentioned it yet. To me, it seems like the storyline is unfolding as one giant chess game, with live pawns and upper-ranked pieces that hold themselves as powerful royalty. In chess, every powerful piece has a chance to exhibit their power, but the real objective is to protect the one piece that hardly moves throughout the entire game...the king.

And what character in Bleach, so far, has the most mysterious background, really, other than Kisuke?

A former 3rd seat in the 2nd Division as the commanding officer for the Detention Unit AKA the Maggot's Nest where the first established use of mastering bare handed combat was required;

the creator of the 12th Division's Research and Development;

the creator of reiatsu distorting gigai;

creator of the Hougyoku and "savior" of the Vizard;

and the original researcher of Shinigami/Hollow hybrids.

Those are some major fuckin credits to his name, and apparently the details behind all of those heavy-hittin labels are still un-fuckin-known.

Imagine if Aizen, Gin, and Tousen fell from power...how epic would be the "WTF" heard across the world, if you saw Tessai and Yoruichi standing alongside Urahara who claims that he was masterminding the whole fuckin game from Jump Street because it was part of his ultimate research in the strength difference between a Hollow original infused with Shinigami powers [Arrancar], a Shinigami original infused with Hollow powers [Vizard], and one natural-born Shinigami-Hollow hybrid [Ichigo]?

And before you jump the gun and reply back with me smokin crack and dry wall giblettes, keep in mind that the topic of this thread was originally inviting self-proclaimed crazy niggas like me with major superiority complexes, that have too much time to think about the most off-the-wall, seemingly impossible speculation scenarios ever. Okay, now you can jump it.

*BANG*

Aaand go...

[Shunshin Yoruichi]

I beleive that after Aizen is dead, the soul society will go through with the recovery of the captains such as soi fon, hitsugaya, juushiro ukitake, and shunsui kyoraku. Also with the recovery of the soul society itself.

[realsilverjunk]

I think there was mention of a new Bleach movie of the events long after Aizens death. Something to do with a red moon, and it's effect on soul society years ago.

[Yoruichi-hime]

I don't really think there will be an after Aizen...personally i see Aizen as the best villain I've ever seen in all animes i have watched. He's got it all!
Although TK has ingeniously startled us through all this years with amazing twists in Bleach...i doubt he can pull out a better villain than Aizen.
But Aizen will last a looong time i'm sure. Maybe he will call upon hell right now to thwart the vizards since he doesn't seem to have any intention to personally fight and i doubt the vizards can be defeated by the Espadas, Gin and Tousen.

Maybe Aizen wins over SS and The King's Realm and the shinigami left will try to defeat him in order to restore the order. This might be a plot idea for after all this fighting.

[Sessou]

I agree ^^^

Aizen is possibly the greatest villian of all time, better than even Darth Vader IMO. How many lead villians have shown the cunning, intelligence, and power that Aizen has at his disopsal? Now, to that end, I don't think Aizen would be truly defeated during the Winter War, I think he cooks up a different plan and proceeds to follow through. That, I can see Kubo-san doing, if only to further explore other characters (as well as introducing new ones) in the series.

Bleach might very well be the beginning of a new "Star Wars" of animes, because the possibilities are nearly endless. TK could go back further in time to show Yama-jii as a youngin and who was around at that time and how he became who he is currently. He could break it off by fan favorites and tie it off into the main story line. He could even go back and reflect on the Shibas and tell what happened to Kukaku's arm.

Of course, I think everything will depend on TK's motivation after WW...

[Yoruichi-hime]

He has made Aizen truly invincible ... i don't think he will be defeated simply in battle...maybe TK will pull out an Itachi or Voldemort thing. Something that will undermine his power THEN beat him in battle.

[skycrapper]

^ I used to think that "the great eye behind him" thing IS the thing that will undermine his powers, that Aizen is actually controlled as puppet for a sinister purpose, despite the fact that he's astronomically powerfull and all.

But when Superchunky appeared . . .

. . . Aizen IS the god of evil, so there's no one else above and stronger than him. So, after Aizen, there will be a brand new plot, completely separated from the current one.

[Yoruichi-hime]

O_O
what if........the final battle will be good Aizen vs evil Aizen???
Maybe (like some sad before) hell is the opposite of soul society thus the aizen in hell will be a good guy.
Seriously, with some plotkai-determination/will like Ichigo the good Aizen can probably win over the evil twin...

[skycrapper]

EEEWWW . . . it's SO much like X's Kamui vs Kamui? :D

[TokyoRacer]

The real question is, can KT create a better villain Aizen?

Despite KT's story telling flaws, he has created Aizen into being one of the greatest villains of all time.

[realsilverjunk]

He's not that great at all. He's full of hot air. His ass is gonna get sent to Hell, and his butts gunna get whooped!

[gromzie]

In the middle of the fight ;PLOTTWIST;

MassiveSuper Reiatsu, all but Yamamoto and Aizen goes like "oooh.....haa huu haa huu"

And these incredibly badass dudes comes and cuts Aizen saying; Don't intervene in our plans, Aizen goes "WTF???"

Gates of Hell opens and there they go, everyone in shock and preparing to leech some knowledge out of this, and the Hell Realm possess this kind of mega powers to handle the extremely bad hollows down there.

OR. Soul Society has Kings Dimension. What if Hueco mundo had something "above". Some kind of rulers, and these are mega badass who rivals the 0 squad.

[Baishin]

I stll think we have to meet at least one of the Kings guard before the chapter ends. I still think Aizen will somehow gather the souls and open the gate.. Its only right.. I still think Aizen has an allegiance with one of them.

[xrawrx]

yeah thatd be good

[Firefly]

I've seen a few of these threads before I believe. I'm going with something in either Hell, or something to do with the King. Or possibly a "flashback" arc with Isshin and what not.

[Virus_]

The real question is, can KT create a better villain Aizen?

Despite KT's story telling flaws, he has created Aizen into being one of the greatest villains of all time.

Exactly. Even if Aizen is defeated, i doubt KT can make a better and more evil villian than Aizen.

[Mike Kuchiki]

I hope we have not forgotten Itchigo Dad, For not even Itchigo knows about his dad, There could be an arc about him, He could be kiddnapped by someone or something, and Itichigo finds out his father is a soul reaper! (More flash backs to the Soul Society)

[Sessou]

The revelation of Isshin being a Shinigami of some sort, has not gone forgotten during this moment....

Maybe Isshin is behind Aizen?

[DaEvilWithin]

No way that would happen, he is enemies with Aizen. There is no way he would try and hurt his own son, he's not Darth Vader. The chapter that he talks with Urahara they reveal the 4 factions, Soul Society, Aizen's Crew, Vaizards, and Urahara, Tessai, Yoruichi, and Isshin, (possibly Ryuuken, but who knows?). OF course, there is the Ichigo and Crew. Faction too, but they are more or less teamed with SS, and the Vizards are teamed with Ichigo, so by default they are teamed with SS. That just leaves Urahara's crew and Aizen's.Obviously Aizen is fighting off everyone else, and KT isn't going to pull another good guy turned bad with Urahara. Aizen, has to be the final boss. I just don't see KT making a villain better than Aizen, or for that matter becoming stronger than Aizen.

[Playboy Joe]

I think after Aizen the manga is simply over. And that's good. If a manga or Anime goes on too long it's getting boring, because the artist tries to make it better and than it will repeat itself (Best example Dragonball). And Bleach is nearly in the stage where this begins. i hope we'll see some arc like one about Isshin, but then the Manga should end together with Aizen.
But I think this is sure distant.

[Sessou]

We don't know he's against Aizen. The fact that he does know about Aizen and hasn't been seen in his vicinity yet, should make you take notice. Do you see him there with the Shinigami? For all we know, he's Aizen's trump card, and the reason why Aizen is so damn confident he has this fight won. We've had liars with hidden agendas in Bleach before, and it's possible that, YES, Isshin is Darth Vader to Ichigo's Luke Skywalker. Think back to 2 different scenes.

1) Before Aizen, Tosen and Gin left for Hueco Mundo, he commented on how interesting Ichigo was.

2) Isshin is seen talking to Urahara about Aizen. How does Isshin know about Aizen, when they've never met prior to that moment?

Of course, everything is just speculation at this point. But don't rule out everything because you don't want it to happen that way.

[Whyte Bler 000]

I'm going with Vizards v Soul Society. It makes sense that SS would want to get rid of any potential problems. After what happened with Aizen, SS may become fearful of the Vizards and order them exterminated. It would be a great development in making the manga darker.

Urahara and everyone with him would naturally become an enemy of SS as well, being he knows how to create Vizards even without the Hogyouku. It would allow the fathers to come into play as well.

The fighting would take place in the king's dimension, the only real place left that has any significance (hell is pointless now).

[DaEvilWithin]

We don't know he's against Aizen. The fact that he does know about Aizen and hasn't been seen in his vicinity yet, should make you take notice. Do you see him there with the Shinigami?

Of course, everything is just speculation at this point. But don't rule out everything because you don't want it to happen that way.

I wasn't trying to rule it out because I didn't want it to happen that way. Though it would be a repeat for a good-guy turned bad, I still think Isshin wouldn't be able to be a great villain.

Isshin's previous position as a shingami is unknown, though he is obviously captain-class. He knows about the Vizard's as well, meaning he was either a Captain, or learned about them via Urahara. I believe Aizen said he was interesting, for a human. While this doesn't completely rule out that it was because he was related to Isshin, it is a good possibility.

I would say Isshin's position could be one of two things:


1. A member of the Royal Guard

2. As you said, Aizen's trump card


This is because no one realized anything when hearing about the name Kurosaki. It's still possible that he changed his name for unknown reasons, but I highly doubt that.

This is really turning into an Isshin post though >.<

I heard that the manga was ending soon, so I think thata the series will end after Aizen is defeated.

I'm going with Vizards v Soul Society. It makes sense that SS would want to get rid of any potential problems. After what happened with Aizen, SS may become fearful of the Vizards and order them exterminated. It would be a great development in making the manga darker.

Altho I, my opinion, think it will be hard to get a point of, because the only reason for them to fight is that Vizards being hollows, but Vizards probaly dont have any hate towards soul society, they were simple just a brick of Aizens pussle game.. Or atleast that is how it looked like to me when I watched those parts of the Hollowfication ''experiment'' that got blamed upon Urahara.

(I may be wrong, dont got the greatest memory)

We don't know he's against Aizen. The fact that he does know about Aizen and hasn't been seen in his vicinity yet, should make you take notice. Do you see him there with the Shinigami? For all we know, he's Aizen's trump card, and the reason why Aizen is so damn confident he has this fight won. We've had liars with hidden agendas in Bleach before, and it's possible that, YES, Isshin is Darth Vader to Ichigo's Luke Skywalker. Think back to 2 different scenes.

1) Before Aizen, Tosen and Gin left for Hueco Mundo, he commented on how interesting Ichigo was.

2) Isshin is seen talking to Urahara about Aizen. How does Isshin know about Aizen, when they've never met prior to that moment?

Of course, everything is just speculation at this point. But don't rule out everything because you don't want it to happen that way.

Totally Agreed. It wud be one damm of a twist and totally unexpected.

How long ago was that? Back around march/april of last year, it was said that Bleach would end soon. Here it is, late august '09 and the manga hasn't gotten to the good stuff yet and plot holes still exist. I guess if that is the case, Kubo is going to be real busy to close it out.

[Kuruk]

I've been thinking about this since I learned about Aizen's Zanpakutou. The Fake Karakura Town Arc could end in the defeat of Aizen via Ichigo or Yamamoto. But what if this was all an illusion, created by Aizen's Zanpakutou and used to distract the Gotei 13, thus allow Aizen to create the King's Key and ascend to be a "god"?

[Sagasu]

I couldn't see the Vaizards becoming an enemy. Maybe a lukewarm alliance with plenty of suspicion on both sides.

[Spirenergy]

Maybe the vaizards will go back to soul society? Since the court 46 (lol I forgot the name) is dead they would probably make that type of decision.

Aizen's ending would end up in flash-backs about how he became evil..

[Renji.dk]

my prediction for aizen is this

his going down like most villian is now the question is

who will kill him !! ^^

[aastik01]

I think the story will shift towards something in hell!

i actully hope that, Aizen got a plan with the kings key then something to do with hell so we got ichigo who has to go to hell to get aizen maby or something and ichigo could fit in with his true hollow form ^^

Yeah I also think something like that would happen :)

[Renji.dk]

yeps it would be pretty cool :)

[skycrapper]

@Renji.dk LOL You love to speak without breathing, don't you? XD

After Aizen dies, Gotei 13 would find something sinister about the king. They would find that they are DEAD wrong killing Aizen, cuz Aizen actually intends to kill the evil king.

hahah yah i just speak speak but its also becuse i havent been here in along time so i thought i had some catching up to do :)

nah i dont think it will hold the whole thing with it could be a mistake killing aizen becuse look at the guy he thinks his a god when his so first off evil arogant saying his a damn god then he deservs and will die ! :)

Hmmm . . . like the posts in the other thread (http://forums.bleachexile.com/showthread.php?t=51599), the concept of good and evil is ambiguous. One can be called evil when he kills a Chihuahua by kicking it, but it's a whole different story if then we know that he actually hates that kind of dog because his baby daughter died mauled by a Chihuahua.

Or, one can be called evil when he kills others cold bloodedly, but he's a hero when he do it defending his country from tyranny.

So, thus far Aizen's doing is still open for a story twist : Aizen wants to take over the throne because all the systems and politics of Soul Society is so corrupt, it'd end up corrupting the whole world. So, he's actually saving the world.

Just a prediction . . . stories can co anywhere as far as imagination would go :D

my prediction:

bleach would start to suck. most important plotlines revolve around him as the main bad guy. it would especially suck if he dies in battle with ichigo right now. all those years of buildup and he gets killed by a guy who couldnt beat his lackey (ulquiorra).
