Bleach 629: Gate of the Sun

Zach Goodier





The teams are inside "Wahrwald," the new kingdom of the Quincy. However, the Sternlichter are mobilizing to stop them, and without the ability to create footholds out of reishi, they have to hoof it on the ground all the way to the top of the massive spire where Juha Bach has made his throne. Our heroes have the advantage in numbers, but will they be able to overcome the dangerous bodyguards of the new King?

I'm finding some of these developments interesting. Juha Bach is clearly stacking the odds against his foes, but I wonder if on some level, he is still worried about Ichigo's abilities. It doesn't seem like he would have reason to at this point, but then why go out of his way to make sure they can't create footholds to move around freely. This theory was further supported when Urahara questioned why the central spire to the throne room was so tall. While Kyoraku thought it was simple vanity/show or strength, Urahara seemed to think there was something more. Perhaps this means that even the "Almighty" might have something to fear.
