Big Trivia Chapter for end of Soul Society Arc.
-Originally, Ichigo was supposed to be the explosion, however, I hated Ichigo's appearance to Juhabach in Chapter 512.
-Shaz Domino is the new Quincy that was big dogged by Ichigo in 512.
-Inhale is self-created command for Minazuki. Minazuki's offensive ability is the ability to devour anything it touches, but burns with it's acid instead of healing.
-I originally wanted Shinji to do more, but I figured since Aizen's illusion could be cancelled, Shinji's probably couldn't work at all. He was meant to do his Bankai, but I almost forgot about Haschwald, so I change the battle to fit around Haschwald's presence and Aizen's Bankai.
-Nachteil Seele is German for Negative/Penalty Soul, hinting at her true nature. I thought Z for Zero would be a cool name to announce a Quincy/Arrancar Hybrid. It also references the last letter of the alphabet being the last, referencing the Vandereich's lack of respect for her. The sword she pulled was a Seele Schneider. She is also the one who stole Aizen's notes on the Medallions and gave them to Juhabach for favor, hence he killed her.
-Kisuke's 'job interview' is the Head Captain's Position Unohana offers to him.
-Juhabach wanted see how strong he was, which explains how Kisuke was sorta dominating him, considering he one-shotted Yamamoto.
-Satsukiyami means "The Dark Night in the Rainy Season". It uses lightning as her abilities in a weaker, but more versatile way compared to Chojiro.
-Xiphosura is an extinct class of Horseshoe crab(If I remember correctly). His blade is modeled after the design of a Horseshoe crab.
-Yoruichi's vacation was fake, as she poses (as in: pretends to be and quite literally) as a model.
-The revenge Juhabach mentioned is from a story I might be planning as a prequel to Bleach, taking place 200 years prior to the story. Juhabach personally 'killed' her uncle, the previous 2nd division captain and head of the Shihoin Clan.
-Aizen has become a personal favorite character of mine to joke around with, so he's a troll character. I couldn't think of a good excuse to make him evil, because he's not the type of person to seek revenge.
-Personal Note: Aizen Juhabach because Aizen made Yama sacrificed his arm and nearly all the captains to kill him. Juhabach 'may' have been the one to give Yama his first scar.
-Juhabach's use of the Bankai is the same from 1000 years ago, where it just set's things on fire instead of igniting your existence away.
-Kyoka Suigetsu Harukamuso roughly translates to 'Mirror Flower Water Moon Distant Dream/Vision' It's reference is the same from the Chinese saying of Kyoka Suigetsu, but changes the meaning to himself or his sword, which is the 'things that can be seen, but never touched'. Saying 'Fade' allows him to fade his body away. He can't be touched unless he attacks. It can be stopped by grabbing the blade before it fades. Saying 'Shatter' changes it's phasing properties to his blade, allowing it to phase through anything on command, as if it were a ghost. He can be touched in this state.
-Aizen passed out instead of dying like I originally intended for him.
-The reason Ichigo was able to use his Resurreccion again was because Aizen desired to see it, so the Hogyoku answered his will, though he was unconscious at the time. He wants to see it and Ichigo's Segunda Etapa.
-Aizen knew Ulquiorra had Segunda Etapa. I doubt Aizen of all people wouldn't know of something, especially someone he gave powers to in the first place.
-Personal Note: I killed off Komamura because useless tank=useless. He has revealed his Bankai long ago, we know Yamamoto saved him, and his friend is now dead. I feel his presence in the Manga is useless and he should have died when Aizen kicked his ass twice. Just gimme a flashback of how he was saved by Yamamoto as he is dying and get rid of him, Kubo.
-Soul Society moved headquaters to The first 5 districts outside of the Seireitei on all 4 sides.
-Hidetomo Kajomaru is the guy who speaks to the two new Soul Reapers assigned to Karakura town when they come back. He's cut down by Haschwald upon telling him to stop.
-Personal Note: He does look suspiciously like Aizen.
-The way the Captains stand in the hall is like this:
1
2 3
4 5
6 7
8 9
10 11
12 13
So Aizen, being the 7th Division Captain, is right between all 3 Visoreds with Yoruichi right in front of him and Kenpachi surrounding him, which I thought was pretty funny when I realized it.
-As Rukia is the new Head of the clan, she is attempting to master her Bankai (as in this story, she learned over the period Ichigo was powerless. She will be using it in this story at some point.
-Yoruichi is filling in as replacement Captain for the Sixth Divsion as Ginrei does not feel up to coming out of Retirement. She's training Rukia to be her replacement as she masters her Bankai.
-Prequel Reference: Ginrei is over 1000 years in the story. He is as old as Retsu Unohana. He refused being one of the first Captains because he didn't want to be a Soul Reaper, but joined as a last resort for a war. With every new wife and every new child, he let's them take over before they die and he becomes a fill in/replacement. Byakuya is the last child of his latest wife, so he has no more children, except Rukia. He's, for the lack of a better term, the Brett Farve of the Bleach world.
-Rukia's haori is the one Byakuya wears when he adopts Rukia in the flashback in the Anime.
-Of the 4 Arrancar's arriving at Las Noches, 2 of them will become Espada.
For the Segunda Etapa Questions
From what I've seen in the Anime/Manga, Szayel Aporro eats one of the his Arrancar Fraccion in order to heal himself, so I believe some of them may still eat after becoming Arrancars, even though the ones that detest it may stop. I also think that they may train or learn to control their powers better, considering that against Quilge Opie, Halibel's Fraccion are able to control Ayon better than they were before.
Ichigo is/was a Vasto Lordes. However, Grimmjow is an Adjuchas. So to compare his Resurreccion to Ulquiorra's(Potential Vasto Lordes), Halibel's, Baraggan's, and Starrk's Resurrecicion is a different story. To Grimmjow, Segunda Etapa raises his power to match up to those Resurreccions. Basically, Ichigo Resurreccion=Grimmjow Segunda Etapa.
Segunda Etapa doesn't transform them into a Vasto Lordes. It makes their power (to an Adjuchas) feel as if it was on a Vasto Lordes Level. It's comparable to the Uryu's transformation(Can't remember name). It enhances his already existing abilities.
For a Vasto Lordes, Segunda Etapa is a more difficult transformation to acquire because their power levels are already so high, it's viewed as another evolution. For them, similar to a normal Hollow, through battle and devouring other Hollows, experience, and training, when their level reaches to the full extent of their Vasto Lordes ability (Same as Fullbring completely maxing out and being complete), they can acquire Segunda Etapa.
To the guy about the Ulquiorra thing, I read the databook on youtube, but I didn't know he was confirmed as Vasto Lordes. My Interpretation (Or was previously my Interpretation) was that Ulquiorra was an Adjuchas that reached the power level above that or that his connecting to the tree was him in the middle of Vasto Lordes transformation before Aizen got him. I found it odd that he says Aizen doesn't know about his Segunda Etapa, because if it was Aizen's Hogyoku and he gave them their powers, how does he not know? Aizen has knowledge of basically everything in the Bleach Universe, so why would he not about it? At the same time, He never explains where he got it from, nor does he suggest that he would have been power hungry to desire a second form from the Hogyoku. If Aizen gave it to him, then why? For testing Ichigo? Then why not Grimmjow? Or Starrk and have him fight Ichigo to test his power? Since it's, personally, still on the wall, I made something up for it.
