Bleach 538: Standing on the Edge



By Zach Goodier

Well, the past mini-arc is now over and done with, and we can finally move back into the main story.  So far, we're seeing the start of the preparations for the next big battle, with captains and squads training to prepare for the next bout with the Quincy.  Ichigo is  finally moving forward and it looks like he'll be getting his full power back soon; however, he's not the only one that seems to have to look back in order to move ahead.  Hitsuguya and Komamura both appear to be faced with similar problems, since their bankai were stolen in the last fight.  However, my focus still remains with Ichigo's training and it appears that he is finally making fast progress, much to the surprise of Nimaiya, the zanpakuto creator. 

Now that it appears we are in full swing again in the current timeline, we might finally see some buildup to the next big battle.  It looks like it's all hands on deck, and with Uryuu taking up the mantle of "Prinz von Licht" ( or "Prince of Light") among the Quincy in the previous chapter, we might see things come to a head with a confrontation between Ichigo and Uryuu, but I think Uryuu's loyalty might not truly lie with the Quincy King, Juha Bach.  Only time will tell, however, as we see the stage being set for the next, and possibly final, act.
