at this point...even he realize if that 1% chance to ichigo to emerge with a power superior to all of them it happen .. they wont be able to stop him

well having your friends and family on the knife edge of death is a pretty good way to stop someone in their tracks.

check how good it ended for those who did that till now... but your right , not contradicting you

Figured I'd just bring some thought to this topic.

It seems like there are a lot of major antagonists coming up in this arc for Ichigo to fight. It looks like we're coming up to the final set of fights/events in the series. Who's going to be the overall climactic battle for him? Juha Bach, his old zanpakuto? Uryuu, who is now potentially a pretty large antagonist? Or will it be this quincy king dude who conquered the world in 9 days or whatever? Obviously the king guy seems like the most likely option. Or maybe Ichigo fights all of them and the king last, like he did with Aizen part? He went through the old espada guy, then Grimmjow, then Ulquiorra before finally taking down Aizen.

I also ask because I'm wondering how much longer the series will actually continue from here. Seems like it could be done before too long.

Ishida was the first and last bad guy Ichigo will fight.

Isn't Ichigo's old zanpakuto on his side now?

I dunno aizen and soul king should be added too, why is the quincy king not considered to be juha bach or uryuu?

I dont think ulquiorra or grimmjow were top 3 whereas him fighting both the 1st 2nd/3rd(juha abd uyruu) i dunno man main characters lol



No it was never his zanpakuto but it was his quincy powers(juha bach blood) suppressing his actual shinigami powers. The "zanpakuto" is his hollow side that white version of him

I just referenced them as antagonists that Ichigo took down before getting to Aizen, the true big boy. Would love it if he comes back, btw. Isn't the quincy king a separate entity than Juha Bach or Uryuu? And do we even know if the Soul King is evil or anything? Who the hell knows what's going on with that dude.

I am pretty sure juha bach is the quincy king he was the one who did all those 9xx's and if it isnt him then it should be uyruu who has the "potential" to surpass him. Ryuuken is the only other choice

Ah. Well, I don't know I guess we'll know the absolutes when it resumes on 09/09. I'd like a good twist to see Ichigo vs Uryuu as the last fight. That'd be pretty cool.
