Upward and onward, Bleach fans! Another chapter with momentous events to discuss.
Spoilers after the cut.
Since the end of Giselle's zombie nonsense, it seems to me that Bleach has really been going onward and upward. This is true in a figurative and literal sense.
Chapter 604 shows us the result of Bach's latest "Auswahlen". His power has a new twist that we hadn't seen before: strengthening those that were revived.
Oh, hey, the title makes sense! What do ya know?
Anyway, not all of the Stern Ritter in Seireitei are ready and willing to give up their power just to revive/revitalize the elites fighting in Reioukyuu. Bazz-B and Liltotto aren't having it.
The shinigami that are still in Seireitei have a different reaction. Byakuya and Kyouraku specifically notice where the light of Auswahlen has come from and where it's going. It sounds like Kyouraku wants to go up to Reioukyuu. Would that change anything? Probably not, but if Ukitake is ready to roll and he joins Kyouraku up in the sky...hey, you never know what could happen then.
Nimaiya looks like he might be in trouble. Hikifune and Kirinji come to his assistance but are unable to stop Barro's more powerful shot. Pernida is able to use his (?) power to bend the Cage of Life, thus allowing Bach to get out.
And finally, Bach stands in front of Hyousube. This is a confrontation worth seeing. Hopefully, next week will see these two in action.
