AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Are you pre or post 2Y3D?

I was somewhere on Punk Hazard when I last read but I started from 2 Years Later.

You smelly dumb sack of potatos.
You can't start from there you gotta go through the whole thing.

I've already went through the whole thing before.
And I love it, but ugh 597 chapters.

It's okay I understand.
Actually I left on punk hazard a few weeks back I should pick it up again.
I'm more into watching the anime than reading the manga though.

Yeah me too. It's one of only a few where I prefer the anime actually.

I mean look at that. You can't do that in a manga.

Alright, up to chapter 351, where Ichigo hits his severely OP version of of segunda resurección. Son, you just went full Shonen.

I need to watch this just so I can see how they managed to get the world's only functioning Maus.

He didn't already hit full shonen in chapter... 2?

it's probably a different maus that they built

playing tank battles with a historic relic seems like a bad idea to me

No. That was just basic, everyday, level 1 shonen. He hadn't gone all POWER UP POWER UP TRANSFORMATION POWER UP RESURRECTION POWER UP yet.

Here's the fun part. His Hollow form? Less powerful than the form he takes to beat Aizen.

Fuck, his Hollow form hasn't even come back since then.

I mean, he met Hollow Ichigo when he was training for the Final Getsuga, but since then, there's been no trace of hollow powers being used, unless you count Fullbringing.

This kinda strikes me a bit odd, and I wonder if it has to do with his Zanpakuto.

I stopped following Bleach around the point where Aizen's betrayal became obvious.

Does Zangetsu's embodied 'old geezer' form make any further reappearances after that? I always liked seeing Ichigo stand off against/learn from 'old geezer' Zangetsu.

He comes back to mediate the fight between Hollow Ichigo and Ichigo, and it's made apparent that him and Hollow Ichigo are likely two halves of the same person (though, really, they're all a part of Ichigo, so duh). He then appears as a younger version of himself when Ichigo visits him in Bankai mode. They fight, because Ichigo needs to get the secret of the Final Getsuga out of Zangetsu, and Zangetsu refuses. At the end though, Ichigo let's Zangetsu run him through with the sword, and Zangetsu says that he did the one thing that would convince him to tell Ichigo the secret. He didn't want to tell Ichigo, because the Final Getsuga would stip Ichigo of his spiritual powers, and it would hurt Ichigo, who is the person Zangetsu wants to protect.

His words also take on a double meaning, because he knows how much Ichigo prides himself on his power to protect people, and during the Fullbringer Arc, Ichigo has to deal with being the one without powers. the one who can't protect what he wants. It's quite possible that at that time, Zangetsu felt the rain in Ichigo's soul, the thing he hates most.

But since then, we haven't seen him since, and considering that Zangetsu is currently destroyed, though can be fixed if the person who destroyed it decides to, we're not sure where that puts him.
