Bleach 614: KILL THE KING

Zach Goodier




Ichigo faces the the "almighty" Quincy King, and his friends stand next to him. He stands ready to face his toughest opponent yet, when he notices his strange eyes, and the swords thrust though the Soul King's crystal. Despite his quick attempts to save the Soul King, Juha Bach is not fazed in the slightest, claiming that his all-seeing eyes have gazed into the future, and Ichigo would bring about the ruin of the Soul Society with his actions. Undetered, Ichigo moves forward to draw out the sword, only to find a familiar pattern racing up his arm, and he suddenly loses control of his arm. Was the prophecy accurate, and does this mean the end of the Soul Society is at hand?

Meanwhile, back in the Soul Society, Urahara gathers up the Visoreds and remaining Soul Reapers to open a gateway to the palace, claiming that it will likely be a one-way trip. Can they arrive in time to make a difference, and will they be able to prevent the foretold apocalypse that Juha Bach seeks to bring about?

This article doesn't really delve into the fight, but does reveal some interesting possibilities for the the near future of the series, with the deadly prophecy and the potential end of the Soul Society. The Quincy royal guards have yet to reveal themselves again after the previous battle, and they will likely stand in the way of Ichigo's friends as they try to come to his aid. However, the Fullbring and Urahara's mysterious "friend" have yet to step up to help in the battle, so that might be the tide-changer later on as the climax is on the horizon.
