Bleach - Chapter 316
Swang The Edge Down
Bleach is back on the main storyline.
A little spirit girl is running from some hollows. She’s about to be caught when one of the hollows suddenly explodes. At the same time, a huge reiatsu is felt, the girl is brought to her feet, some hollows collapse and the other hide. The final war is about to begin.
I really liked the cool way the author used to get back to this situation. He really made us realize the tension and reiatsu flowing around.
The Gotei 13 are planning of fist taking out the Espada as quickly as possible and then focus everyone on Aizen and his closer subordinates.
Even with their number, they don’t think they can take all of them together, since Aizen’s deception ability could cause major trouble even if he was alone against all of them.
With this in mind, the old man releases his zanpakutou and instantly surrounds Aizen, Gin and probably Tousen with a massive fire technique. Escaping it will take some time but, Aizen doesn’t even won’t to escape. He states there’s no reason for them to interfere. Are those Espada really that powerful? Aizen seems completely confident in them. I mean, they are just 3.. their subordinates are probably not a problem and the Lieutenants will probably be the ones to engage them.
After all, it’s six on three..
Anyway, I don’t think Aizen is expecting the Vaizard. They are probably stronger than the Captains, because they are older, more experienced and have the extra hollow powers.
The plot then shifts back to Hueco Mundo. Orihime is not afraid anymore and has absolute confidence in her friends. Ichigo is coming for Ulquiorra, I don’t remember if there are anymore Espada on Hueco Mundo, if not, Ichigo’s fight is going to be the last there.
Also, was the comanders attack from his shikai or bankai? He didn’t shout bankai but, maybe he’s so experienced that he doesn’t need to say it. Or maybe the others just shout "bankai" to look cool lol. It’s just that the attack seemed way to powerful for a shikai.
The old dude used a special technique from his Shikai. He just looks really pissed and is so powerful that it’s hard to tell, but it’s his Shikai.
The only remaining Espada in Hueco Mundo are Ulquiorra and Yammy (10th), the second being missing in action since, like, forever.

Then, Yammy is surely also going to fight. Although, I don’t think Hueco Mundo is a problem. There’s too many shinigami there and two healing persons.
The real world shouldn’t have much problems too, even if the Espada are stronger than the shinigami there, there’s always the Vaizards. Although, if it is as I say, something will probably change, Kubo Tite is surely not going to let us have an ending without tension and the high possibility of the good side losing
