Predictions: Bleach Manga 313
Nnoitra is finally defeated (though I think it doesn’t make sense that Nnoitra can’t block Kenpachi’s two-handed slash. For Aizen’s sake, he has six freaking arms and two big blades! Why can’t he just block Kenpachi’s slash with one and hit him with the other one? Or let one of his arms get slashed knowing that it’ll grow back later and slash Kenpachi back. IMO Bleach is not making any sense lately)!! In the next chapter, I think we’ll get to see a clearer view of the relationship between Neliel and Nnoitra back when they were both hanging around together. And remember that all this time, Ulqiorra is still sealed in Grimmjow’s one-hour seal (all that action and it’s still less than an hour), so he is not defeated yet, and we haven’t seen the remaining 3 Espadas in action. We get to see by the end of 312 what 313 will be about: a new threat appears before Ichigo and the others! Who could it be..? IMO, it’ll be Ulquiorra breaking free of the seal. XD
And we have yet to see these captains in Hueco Mundo: Shunsui Kyouraku, Hitsugaya Toushirou, Ukitake Jyuushiro, Soi Fong, and Komamura Sajin. Ukitake will very much be unlikely seen in Hueco Mundo as he’s sick all the time (lol). I have no idea about Soi Fong or Komamura Sajin, but I do hope to see Sajin in the future as Tousen (Aizen’s subordinate along with Gin) used to be his best friend. Kyouraku will come I think. There is one Espada that have the same personality as him, sleeping all the time, lazy to fight; and he’s ranked in the top 3 Espadas. I have no idea where Yoruichi is right now, but she might as well come to Hueco Mundo to fight. What about Madarame Ikkaku? Yup, he has almost the same personality as Zaraki Kenpachi (and he’s the only one not in the Captain or Vice-Captain seat that can use Bankai), I hope I can see him fight too. His Bankai is so far IMO the coolest. I believe if Toushiro comes, then Ikkaku will come too, probably along with Rangiku. So we have 4 more Espadas to beat before they reach Gin, Tousen, and Aizen.. (or Inoue??)
Long run thougts: I think the Vaizards will join in helping Ichigo rescue Inoue. They met Inoue when Ichigo was practicing with them, and Ichigo just disappeared from practice and went to Hueco Mundo. It’s not surprising to see them joining the fight. I believe they will rescue Inoue from Aizen, but it’ll take a while. Recall when they’re on a mission to rescue Kuchiki Rukia in Soul Society. Ichigo challenged death so many times, fighting against Renji, Kenpachi, and Byakuya. I don’t think it’ll be any different here in Hueco Mundo. Ichigo nearly died, but came all things that prevent him from dying. Why do you love him so much Kubo Tite!? Then he’d heal himself and practice mastering his hollow transformation, probably with the Vaizards.. or himself.
I have to say that there were many good thougts in there. But i have few point to make… first of all, remember how easily Ulquiorra won ichigo in their first match. And he was 4. if there is 3 more stronger than him (not to forget shinigami traitors) he has long way to go. So thats why i think, that hueco mundo arc will end soon.
) so i must wait. And i started to read your text and thougt to comment it.
It was said that greatfight would be taken winter. And i believe that it will. In Karakura Town. Why? Because it would be too easy if it end here and now. On Aizens territory.
I think that it will end by fall back of shinigami or escape of Aizen (dont know why but i think he will) and will continue after month or two and THEN when Ichigo is stronger AGAIN he will kick some Shinigami Traitor ass.
Thats what i m thinking.
ps. Sry my bad language.
pps. i found this site when i was looking for 313th manga but (too soon

Man there’s just so many possibilities with Bleach… Here’s my thoughts and actually if more people go back and pay attention to some of the earlier mangas, you might see a bunch of hints on what’s to come. Oh and by the way did anyone ever notice in the early mangas, Ichigo’s family has a crest that looks like a something like a captain’s crest that says 15? Maybe this could just be Ichigo’s age but something tells me that there are more than 13 captains. There is just 13 for the protection squads, old man Yama probably has individual captains secretly hidden in Karakura Town just in case knowing how important it is for the protection of the Soul King. So let’s count, Urahara, Isshin, Ishida’s dad, the Vaizards, some really powerful people conveniently all in one small town and nobody knows about them? Well that’s just guesswork this part may have just been left open just in case Kubo needs more of a story. Oh and also Shinji, the vizard recruiter was in one of the early bleach covers, I don’t remember which one.
Ok so as far as my predictions go, the captain battles are usually paired with people with the similar powers or characteristics. Therefore there’s a good chance Shunsui will be fighting Stark, they’re both lazy and did you notice they act almost exactly opposite towards their assistant? Maybe Soifon and Yoruichi will fight Halibel she’s probably really strong so they need to team up. And maybe old man Yama may fight with the old espada which incidentally also be the number 1. However, I have reasons to believe that the upper 3 may not be all that evil so we probably won’t really see those battles (hopefully I’m wrong). Also, there will probably be more Vasto Lordes come up, those guys (Vastos) Toshiro claimed have 2x the strength of a normal captain. Plus, what do you think Aizen’s been doing in the last hour??? Ok, so that was a cheap shot at the time inconsistencies but hey it’s a manga time don’t matter (much). A more solid reason is that the Vizards also need some freakishly powerful people to fight since they (Shinji) can beat the living crap out of #6 espada without powering up (plus there’s a handful of them so more stories if he needs to).
Other thoughts… Aren’t we missing a little training session where Ichigo gets healed, trains more, talks to his inner self, then finally gets stronger? Nah, I guess that theme maybe overplayed, maybe someone gets killed and he goes beserk like Goku did when Krillin got killed by Frieza (Kubo seems to like DBZ also). Think about it, how cool would that be with Ichigo’s bankai in a similar uniform except its white and a black sword. Maybe he’ll have 2 swords… ok too far… but it is safe to assume that Ichigo is the strongest character (it’s not called “Bleach” for nothing) so somebody has to buy sometime to think up of new really cool forms for him later, hopefully they stay away from DBZ’s SSJ2,3,4,5. That got old. Oh and here’s a cool thought, how about Orihime? She does have some crazy attacks like Hacchin said, there no development on that yet. How about Tatsuki? Urahara took her in along with the other 2 goof balls, I wonder if she becomes a shinigami too? She is like a karate expert or something. I don’t know about the other 2 maybe they’ll be like those 2 goofball Arrancars with Nell.
Just mullin this thought around but does anyone else think that Urahara’s bankai is similar to Aizen? Maybe they’re actually related because they kinda look alike. On one of the earlier manga’s Urahara had his cane pointed at Ichigo and he said that he felt like a sword was pointed at him. In the picture there was a shadow of a sword so maybe he’s able to fool people somehow? He is a pretty slick guy maybe his Bankai shares this trait?
Ok last thought I promise… The winter wars… Probably where Tatsuki and the others will come into play so we move away from Ichigo for a little bit. Aizen has finally awoken the Hogyoku (the ball thing) made some powerful Vasto Lordes and authorized the attack on Karakura Town. The other captains are here doing their thing but get overwhelmed (they seem to be the weaker ones anyways). Unfortunately for Aizen he accidentally breaks the Hogyoku that’s ok because Orihime there… or not. Well since she’s no longer there he has no choice but to destroy Karakura’s 100000 people to make the King’s Key. But wait, old man Yama says no he won’t sacrifice those people so he reveals where the original key is to Aizen. Aizen wins until he realizes, the Soul King has his own defenders, and what do you know they’re ancient legendary captain shinigami. Aizen is no match so he opens up hell, and recruits some new talents there… well what do you know? There are another race of powerful beings in hell… yay new arc!!! Bleach never ends… Well, that’s far enough and long enough for wishful thinking, now I got to do some homework. Hey all this are just my speculations so you can tell me I’m wrong and I’ll probably tell you you’re right. Just enjoy the what ifs and stay tuned for the what are, I don’t write for Bleach so I have no idea what he is thinking and as far as I know neither do you. If you have something positive to add, by all means share, I like new ideas just like everyone else. If not, don’t bother, no sense in proving what I think you are… (the last comment only applies to those it pertains to).

Honestly… been thinking about the climactic ending to all of this rubble… and what I’ve seen through countless stories is there must be tragedy in order to full fill a remarkable story.
I believe someone important will die. Perhaps one of the humans… why because they can be recycled… how? they can become shinigami. when this happens either ichigo will get his butt kicked furiously then they retreat and someone saves his butt… or ichigo.. dies and comes back in psycho form and kills everyone (bleh) because I;ve seen it too many times already…. or rather.. he turns WHITE.
White ichigo… mastering the psycho version of himself in the dreams… his whole bankai getup goes white and his sword aswell. (previously said in earlier chapters… a white sword is the mark of a captains level) with that transition ic higo is stronger and possibly able to fight the 4321 espada. and save the girl hehe
