Manga Read: Bleach Chapter 383 to 386

Continuing from Bleach chapter 382, chapter 383 sees the battle between the two shinigami captains, Kuchiki Byakuya and Kenpachi Zaraki, and Yammy going into full force when Yammy transforms himself. The result of the transformation can be seen below.

It seems like the sole factor to make Yammy's powers stronger is to get him angry. The angrier the better. That is certainly a huge size, even for an espada. How will the two shinigami captains deal with him?

Meanwhile, the focus shifted back to Karakura Town where Aizen tries to instigate Shinji into attacking him. Will Ichigo rush back on time to save them all? Will Shinji's strong confidence in Ichigo pays off?

On the other side, chapter 384 sees Komamura Sajin, captain of the 7th division, heading off Tousen, who has gained the powers of a Hollow. His transformation is a full on head mask.

Tousen decided to abandon his shinigami roots and seek the powers of a Hollow to make himself stronger than ever. How will Komamura face off against such a strong opponent? Will calling bankai help?

Captain Komamura's bankai looks impressive but is it enough to fend off the hollowified Tousen? We have seen how powerful a Hollowified shinigami can get. Examples are Ichigo and the vizards.

In chapter 385 we see two showdowns. One between Shinji and Aizen, the other between Komamura and Tousen. Who will come out as the victor?

 Shinji and Aizen

 

Komamura and Tousen

How will it end for them?

Chapter 386 is the latest installment to this exciting series and I am glad to have caught up to it finally. Here we see that Tousen evolved into a terrible being as can be seen below.

In his battle against Komamura, he seems to have the upper hand as he striked the captain down easily. However it is actually Komanura who does not wish to fight against Tousen anymore. He wants to be the vessel to accept and heal Tousen's disillusioned heart.

However Hiragi dealt a heavy blow to Tousen before he could finish off Komamura. Finally Hiragi gets his rightfully deserved spotlight here.

Just one strike and that is it for Tousen. Will he finally be finished off in the next chapter? I predict that we will see a tribute to Tousen in the next chapter, if he is truly defeated once and for all. Too bad Ichigo still hasn't gotten his spotlight in the human world yet. Perhaps we shall see him soon in the next couple of chapters. Or we might not.

Kubo sensei sure can draw out a long battle that doesn't see the need for Ichigo's appearance. Wahaha.... Let's wait and see, shall we?
