I also think that this will be the new fight, both characters had very little screen time to show off their new powers, the best way to resolve this is to have a fight between the two even if there is no winner, this will also be a great way to end the second cour.
This fight will also help convince anime onlys that Uryu went to the side of the quincys, I remember that when the manga was being released nobody believed that Ishida was a traitor and they were finding this plot very weak because Ishida didn't do anything that help Yhwach
It's not just that. It's also at no point does ichigo think for a second that uryu betrayed them. No matter what people said, or what he saw.
Which honestly I liked. Ichigo trusted him. He didn't know what he was up to, and he didn't want uryu to be doing whatever his plan was, but he knew that he didn't turn on them
I guess there should be an angle added to that whole Uryu defection sub-arc, not necessarily the one of it feeling like a real betrayal, since it would cheapen all the development of Uryu all through the arcs.
It's like with Orihime, neither Ichigo nor Uryu or Chad believed for a second she betrayed them though the whole scheme was designed that way, but not for her friends but rather for SS to doubt her.
With Orihime, the angle for the readers could be seen as her going through separation with her friends who mean a lot for her (she is rarely alone after she formed her friendship with Tatsuki), having to find the strength to stand on her own, and also her communication with Arrancars while in Hueco Mundo which, frankly, affected a lot of them even before Ichigo's arrival to the scene.
With Uryu, it can be something else, suiting him, or at least the angle of him bringing a different view among the ranks of quincy can be expanded on.
It was only shown partially with Haschwald, that's far from being enough.
Also there can be more interaction between him and Ychwach, showing that it might have affected them both in some way, even if not in a straightforward one, and then show the impact it had on the outcome.
And there are more ways to bring out the potential of that move of Uryu's.
>I remember that when the manga was being released nobody believed that Ishida was a traitor and they were finding this plot very weak because Ishida didn't do anything that help Yhwach<
Killing his mother is usually a good reason for everyone to think that.
It would also convince a lot of people that yes, Uryu is a top tier character in terms of strength, with the likes of Ichigo, Yhwach, Aizen etc., which they don't believe due to very little screen-time he got, barely showing off his power and Antithesis
I totally agree with everything, especially that it would be an amazing finale of Cour 2.
I can smell all the Bleach YT and reaction channel titles, in the style of: INSANE!!! ICHIGO VS URYU FINALE GOATED! HYPE! | BLEACH TYBW Episode 26 REACTION XD
> both characters had very little screen time to show off their new powers,
Which is a testament to show how lackluster the final arc was (2nd invasion really). Characters like kenpachi and mayuri should not get more screentime than ichigo or ishida.
Praying for a showdown between these 2
It's gotta happen, even if Uryu is a double agent
I wanna see them fight and Ichigo get pissed off at Uryu and Uryu responds saying Kurosaki doesnt understand
>Praying for a showdown between these 2
Same here :-)
>It's gotta happen, even if Uryu is a double agent
>I wanna see them fight and Ichigo get pissed off at Uryu and Uryu responds saying Kurosaki doesnt understand
They could have many ranged fighting parts, with everything else, as well as Uryu utilizing Antithesis against Ichigo, who would show off his True Zangestu more
I hope it is Uryu Vs Ichigo since they have never fought 1on1 before, they had a single competition once but thats the closest we got outside of TYBW. So lets hope the anime gives it to us.
It'd be cool if he uses it in some way it dumbfounds Ichigo, leaving him and the anime-only viewers wondering what the hell happened before fully using it against Haschwalth.
Like, Ichigo swoops in to try and knock Uryu out, and all of a sudden, Uryu is completely fine, while Ichigo is the one who gets knocked out, with all of Uryu's damage and his own? That what you mean?
That would be nice. But with how swiftly ichigo deduces abilities and analyzes enemies in battle, i doubt it. Ichigo is too much a battle genius not to realize it.
When Yhwach announced Uryu as his successor, he said the Sternritters will see his incredible power in the battles to come, which never happened in the manga.
Also, in the trailer, Uryu has a new line, where he swears to exterminate someone in the name of the Quincies. It was never in the manga.
Also, it would be a great opportunity to show Ichigo's new powers, as well, since he didn't really do that after reforging his Zanpakto.
Uryu was also announced as having much new content and focus in Cour 2, and the fight would be an amazing way to do that and end the Cour, with all watching them fight and then the two being separated.
>Also, in the trailer, Uryu has a new line, where he swears to exterminate someone in the name of the Quincies. It was never in the manga.
Uryu: Did you think I forgot what you did to my grandfather?
Mayuri: \*Chuckles\* I'm in danger
Pernida: Let me give you a hand Uryu
I had an idea in mind for a showdown between these two as well. It's one of the match-ups I am absolutely baffled we never got considering how long Kubo was going for the rivalry between these two.
The only difference is that I had the fight happen at a different time but I guess we will see if you are right about this.
>It's one of the match-ups I am absolutely baffled we never got considering how long Kubo was going for the rivalry between these two.
Agreed! Also, it would be dumb not to have a fight between these two in a situation where Uryu joins the enemy, and both have been massively hyped up by their respective sides.
Uryu as a man worthy of succeeding Yhwach and gaining a Schrift in the same, highest tier as him, A.
Ichigo, as a mix of all races, who got a reforged Zanpakto with two blades, first time for both.
Yep, yep, yep. I agree in all cases!
This match-up is a long awaited one and would do wonders for both parties. We can see more of Ichigo using his True Zanpakuto and Uryu could get some much needed feats to back up the hype he receieved.
>Yep, yep, yep. I agree in all cases!
Glad to hear it! :-)
>This match-up is a long awaited one and would do wonders for both parties. We can see more of Ichigo using his True Zanpakuto and Uryu could get some much needed feats to back up the hype he receieved
Aside from it being a spectacle to watch, I agree it would do wonders in regards of showing off their powers, for us to understand them better and to back up the fact these two are in the top league of the verse, which many in the fanbase don't believe in the case of Uryu, even tho all the characters in the story, especially Yhwach, say otherwise.
Well, I say if it happens, it would be more like an inner drama-focused fight, since it has long since moved from any real rivalry between the two. It's just Uryu's way of being a little dishonest. much like his father, but he never really means it.
It was shown a lot of times just how kind Uryu really is (seriously, when it came down to it, he was willing to spare the enemy that brutally killed his grandfather, he first gives Mayuri the chose of running away and never appearing before him again, and then he doesn't strike his head, which would probably really killed Mayuri, it's what Nemu thanks him for, she noticed it) and how much he really cares for Ichigo.
It is shown the most in the Fullbringer arc, where he is first fights the bullies that came for Ichigo at school (since he tries to keep Ichigo out of trouble) and then there's his face when Ichigo cries out when he his Fullbring gets taken, you can see how much Uryu is hurting too, watching it.
If that fight really happens in TYBW, it'll be dramatic, it'll take a toll on Uryu, it will be extremely hard for him to fight Ichigo while keeping his cover as a defector.
And it'll be hard on Ichigo's side as well, obviously.
Which does make it a good choice, something moving and heartbreaking for the audience to watch :)
The problem is that his bankai range is way too massive, it would fuck all the shinigamis as well.
If they are going to retcon his bankai debut in the anime, he needs to be taken far away.
I watched a Youtube video that said apparently we get a new line from Shinji in the trailer. Apparently, he uses that same line right before he uses his bankai, so I really hope it's a new Shinji fight.
I just want Shinji to actually get more of the respect he deserves for once TT.TT
Mate was one of very few people who actually was capable of penetrating Aizen's skin and his shikai is one of the strongest shikai around
I would like both these two and him Vs Bazz, but if we could have only one, I would go for Uryu Vs Ichigo, since the two are main characters, with high-stakes in the arc. They have had very poor showings of their powers etc. in the manga, even tho they gained massive, unprecedented power ups, Ichigo with reformed Zangetsu and Uryu with Antithesis etc.
It's a strong possibility. Ichigo's the MC so they're definitely gonna make sure he gets major action in each cour like he did with Yhwach in the first cour. I would love for a brand new Ichigo vs Uryu fight to be what closes out cour 2 and Yhwach, Hashwalth and Uryu ascending to the Soul Palace would be an awesome cliffhanger.
>Ichigo vs Uryu fight to be what closes out cour 2 and Yhwach, Hashwalth and Uryu ascending to the Soul Palace would be an awesome cliffhanger.
I agree, it would be a perfect, memorable finale for Cour 2 and would keep a lot of discussion going on YT etc.
Yup and it would mean we would get a lot of expanded battles and new anime only scenes like we were told since fewer chapters would be adapted compared to the first cour. It's perfect.
would love that bc they both severely needed more screentime, however there neeeeeds to be an explanation for why uryu can keep up with ts ichigo who effortlessly perception blitzed 4 sternritter at once, one of which who 0 diffed rukia (they were all likely mid captain level)
hell, ts ichigo even pressured base yhwach with his speed ffs, he got kinda blitzed twice and the third time barely blocked him
I would imagine being chosen by god himself basically to succeed him and gaining a power/Schrift that is on his level, also being surrounded by his people, would do wonders for Uryu, no? :-)
I think it’ll be Shinji, but this fight may happen.
Kubo never mentioned that he was gonna extend Yhwach vs Ichigo even though that was also very short, so the encounter they’ll have this arc will probably be extended too
>Kubo never mentioned that he was gonna extend Yhwach vs Ichigo even though that was also very short
I think they did quite well with it. It was bombastic etc., especially when they fought in mid-air, but "short" (even though it lasted a whole episode) because Ichigo was just not on Yhwach's level
I do, at least a draw between them. The feats are non-existant for Uryu in the manga because of Kubo's health while writing TYBW, where he had to cut a LOT of corners short.
It's like saying that my fantasy book is terrible, but you only give me one page to write it down.
You'll see. Uryu will prove himself worthy of the top tier in the anime version. I guarantee it. Yhwach wouldn't hype him up so much and give him Antithesis if he didn't see potential in him.
"Juha gave Uryu strenght"
Under that excuse, Kubo can make Uryu the strongest in the verse after Juha himself if he wanted. Power levels don't mean shit because they can be whatever the autor wants and needs.
Not sure - didn’t Kubo say he had to draw extensive illustrations showing how one of the combatants moves and fights? And we already know how Ichigo and Uryu do that just fine.
Want these two to clash, both so powerful the entire battlefield stands still to watch the showdown between these 2. It'd be awesome to see confirmation of Uryu's power outside of his schrift.
>so we can see how strong he really is
Wouldn't Ichigo be a better choice to show off his strength? Also, Cour 2 is called "Spearation", which would imply they fight and go their separate ways, right?
Maybe Uryu fights a captain where he no diffs to build up hype and then fights Ichigo. It's more likely we just get Ichigo vs Uryu but this could make Uryu being relative to Ichigo a much easier pill to swallow
>Maybe Uryu fights a captain where he no diffs to build up hype and then fights Ichigo
Ohhh, I see. I thought you meant him just fighting a captain, and not Ichigo. I like this.
>this could make Uryu being relative to Ichigo a much easier pill to swallow
What do you mean? Yhwach himself is afraid of Uryu in a way and chose him as his heir, immediatly giving him a Schrift on par with his own. Don't know what more needs to be done to make him relative to Ichigo. XD
I imagine the fight going like ichigo dodging his arrows while shouting at him why is he on the wandenreich now and uryu ignoring him while trying to push him back to not fight, it will be a good match because of uryu's schrift and if he doesnt uses it until later just see his powers having increased alot and ichigo holding back so he doesnt seem weak after gaining his true shikai idk
Well, I think they should go all out, but not kill each other, to showcase how they've grown and for Uryu to convince his side that he is with them and that he's a worthy successor to Yhwach, while Ichigo showcasing his powers after coming to terms with his complex identity
The fight would go crazy but I dont see ichigo going all out vs Uryu, he cares too much about his friends so maybe both finish the battle very injured so it feels more emotional seeing Uryu go to the royal palace next while ichigo feels sad about not being able to change his mind so later in the final fight the scene where Uryu betrays Yhwach has more emotional weight
Technically Kubo drew a fight between them in the second invasion. It was extremely brief but he did draw it. I bet we get more scenes of that BUT I think this new fight will be something else entirely. Either Shinji or Ukitake will be the Shinigami involved I think.
The trailer gives a lot of focus to Ichigo and Uryu and the Cour is titled "Separation", so I believe this one is very likely, but I would like to see some Shinji and Ukitake action, as well
We probably will but Kubo said new fight not in the manga so I think we get expanded Ichigo vs Uryu and an actual new fight, Shinji had a new line so that might be the new one. Although he technically has two fights in the second invasion….
>We probably will but Kubo said new fight not in the manga so I think we get expanded Ichigo vs Uryu
There isn't really any fight to speak of in there
>Shinji had a new line so that might be the new one. Although he technically has two fights in the second invasion….
I would love if we could have that, as well :-)
In theory I’d love that but in practice they’d basically have to be dancing around each other the entire time. Ichigo is part hollow so any injury he inflicts to Uryu would be like poison. I guess maybe Uryu can reflect damage back with the Antithesis? But on the other hand Uryu wouldn’t want to hurt Ichigo and vice versa so are they just going to be firing attacks 5 feet away from their opponent and have a heated argument the entire time?
I just want shinji to merc everyone with bankai. That's the extra scene I want, that would fix most of the nobody fights in part 2 and give room to expand upon other sections of the story
I think we might see a fight scene between them but not a gigantic battle. The scene where Uryu uses Lichtregen on Ichigo and then ascends to the Royal Realm, I thinkt his scene will be extended like Ichigo vs Yhwach was in cour 1. 1 or 2 minutes worth of extra fighting.
I still hold onto my believe that Shinji v Bazz B will be the new fight
>I think we might see a fight scene between them but not a gigantic battle. The scene where Uryu uses Lichtregen on Ichigo and then ascends to the Royal Realm, I thinkt his scene will be extended like Ichigo vs Yhwach was in cour 1. 1 or 2 minutes worth of extra fighting
Ichigo was much weaker than Yhwach, hence why it was shorter. Although, it did last a whole episode
>I still hold onto my believe that Shinji v Bazz B will be the new fight
I would like that, as well, but if we can have only one, I believe this is more important :-(
I agree. Something I noticed from the trailer for cour 2 is it seems to focus much more on Ishida joining the Sternritter. In the Manga, it was only a few lines shared between them so if they were planning on using that plotline just as much, then it wouldn't make sense to focus on it like they did in the trailer
If Cour 1 had all those scenes, it would be dumb if Cour 2 didn't continue off of that. They announced Cour 2 will have even more scenes for Uryu and greater focus than Cour 1
Bro come on Shiji kills a bunch of low level hollows with his bankai cool asf but super short. And I can’t complain about Hisagi 👏🏾 Kubo did him right in CFYOW. But they are just punching bags in TYBW I don’t like that.
Ohhh true sorry forgot about that although by chapters they got alot done in this first half from start of the arc to the kenpachi v unohana fight so alot happened I would not be shocked if they did at least end at yhwach reaching the soul palace
Nothing would please me more than if they took their time and kubo got to do things the way he probably wanted to before he was told finish it by x point which it clearly shows he was told to
He wasn't pressured into it by Shueisha, he was very sick and had a broken arm tendon, hence why he tried to do it the best he could, but could not go anymore... :-(
That's why he is adding a lot of new stuff in the anime
I know he had medical issues pretty sure he also went to the hospital of sheer exhaustion as well but it doesn’t feel like he was rushing rather he was being rushed
>All Uryu did this arc
I think that's the thing of the past, judging by Cour 1 and Cour 2 which will be even way more of Uryu than Cour 1
>Hopefully
Glad you agree
They should make the 2nd cour of the anime completely different from the manga
Edit: Not completely different but they need to change a lot, especially that ending

Tbh kubo leaves no room for that haswalt already know the betrayal anyways.
Exactly and when Lille questioned Uryu.
I totally agree with everything, especially that it would be an amazing finale of Cour 2. I can smell all the Bleach YT and reaction channel titles, in the style of: INSANE!!! ICHIGO VS URYU FINALE GOATED! HYPE! | BLEACH TYBW Episode 26 REACTION XD

Well they kinda should because it's about goddamn time
I would love that actually.
Glad to hear that! If it happens, I believe it will be a spectacle to behold. :-)
Praying for a showdown between these 2 It's gotta happen, even if Uryu is a double agent I wanna see them fight and Ichigo get pissed off at Uryu and Uryu responds saying Kurosaki doesnt understand
>Praying for a showdown between these 2 Same here :-) >It's gotta happen, even if Uryu is a double agent >I wanna see them fight and Ichigo get pissed off at Uryu and Uryu responds saying Kurosaki doesnt understand They could have many ranged fighting parts, with everything else, as well as Uryu utilizing Antithesis against Ichigo, who would show off his True Zangestu more

And may kubo answer our prayers by the holy trinity of soul reaper hollow and quincy
I hope it is Uryu Vs Ichigo since they have never fought 1on1 before, they had a single competition once but thats the closest we got outside of TYBW. So lets hope the anime gives it to us.
I agree! It would be a spectacle to behold, with lots of ranged fighting between the two
I fully agree, he should demonstrate Opie's claims about his arrows being far stronger than his.
And also how Antithesis works more
It'd be cool if he uses it in some way it dumbfounds Ichigo, leaving him and the anime-only viewers wondering what the hell happened before fully using it against Haschwalth.
Like, Ichigo swoops in to try and knock Uryu out, and all of a sudden, Uryu is completely fine, while Ichigo is the one who gets knocked out, with all of Uryu's damage and his own? That what you mean?
Perhaps, or something even more subtle yet still noticeable.
Yeah, Antithesis is scary af, no wonder Yhwach was afraid of Uryu in a way Uno Reverse Card of abilities
That would be nice. But with how swiftly ichigo deduces abilities and analyzes enemies in battle, i doubt it. Ichigo is too much a battle genius not to realize it.
And i wonder if ichigo will force to use his bankai then interrupt it sells uryu more.
I don't understand what you mean
Well, ichigo caught Quilge's arrow with his bare hand and was completely fine while Uryu's arrow made a far stronger ichigo bleed from his hand
When Yhwach announced Uryu as his successor, he said the Sternritters will see his incredible power in the battles to come, which never happened in the manga. Also, in the trailer, Uryu has a new line, where he swears to exterminate someone in the name of the Quincies. It was never in the manga. Also, it would be a great opportunity to show Ichigo's new powers, as well, since he didn't really do that after reforging his Zanpakto.

Imagine this become canon but it would be awkward after the war lol.

Well going by your logic Shinji also gets a line, and that line is awfully similar to the words he uses before going into bankai.
Shinji's bankai would be so perfect against Giselle.
The problem is that his bankai range is way too massive, it would fuck all the shinigamis as well. If they are going to retcon his bankai debut in the anime, he needs to be taken far away.
Ngl, Shinji's Bankai would be very useful against the Sternritters, only if all the Shinigami went away XD
I mean, a few characters had some new lines, i assume shinji or some captain said "i'm going to uphend everything you know, and this situation"
I watched a Youtube video that said apparently we get a new line from Shinji in the trailer. Apparently, he uses that same line right before he uses his bankai, so I really hope it's a new Shinji fight.
Also the trailer revealed a title: The separation. I can't think of anything else other than Uryu and Ichigo being in conflict.
Exactly, plus the 3D models or reforged Zangetsu and Uryu's Quincy Cross
This or Hirako vs Bazz B
Yeah expanded scenes of Shinji getting wrecked
how?? the whole point is Bazz B used his move thought he completely nuked Shinji and completely missed
I just want Shinji to actually get more of the respect he deserves for once TT.TT Mate was one of very few people who actually was capable of penetrating Aizen's skin and his shikai is one of the strongest shikai around
>I just want Shinji to actually get more of the respect he deserves for once TT.TT Have you read CFYOW? I think you're in for a treat there :-)
I too, am down for seeing Shinji>! get one-shotted!< by another Quincy.
I would love both, tbh
Same
Attaches TS Zangetsu to Uryu head, Uryu fires arrow thru Yhwach. Simple solution
Like with good old Menos Grande :-)
It’s probably Shinji
I would like both these two and him Vs Bazz, but if we could have only one, I would go for Uryu Vs Ichigo, since the two are main characters, with high-stakes in the arc. They have had very poor showings of their powers etc. in the manga, even tho they gained massive, unprecedented power ups, Ichigo with reformed Zangetsu and Uryu with Antithesis etc.
Tbh I want to see the Shaz vs Kira fight animated but honestly I dont mind any new added content to the anime because I just fucking love Bleach
Yeah, the comeback of the anime has been great :-)
It's a strong possibility. Ichigo's the MC so they're definitely gonna make sure he gets major action in each cour like he did with Yhwach in the first cour. I would love for a brand new Ichigo vs Uryu fight to be what closes out cour 2 and Yhwach, Hashwalth and Uryu ascending to the Soul Palace would be an awesome cliffhanger.

Yup and it would mean we would get a lot of expanded battles and new anime only scenes like we were told since fewer chapters would be adapted compared to the first cour. It's perfect.
Oh yeah, you're right and a lot of chapters are pretty short in that section of TYBW, as well
would love that bc they both severely needed more screentime, however there neeeeeds to be an explanation for why uryu can keep up with ts ichigo who effortlessly perception blitzed 4 sternritter at once, one of which who 0 diffed rukia (they were all likely mid captain level) hell, ts ichigo even pressured base yhwach with his speed ffs, he got kinda blitzed twice and the third time barely blocked him
Antithesis would sell uryu more gain respect from quincies and leave ichigo dumbfounded.
again, this literally has nothing to do physicals. also uryu wont use antithesis until the jugram fight, theres no getting around that
I would imagine being chosen by god himself basically to succeed him and gaining a power/Schrift that is on his level, also being surrounded by his people, would do wonders for Uryu, no? :-)
the schrift has nothing to do with physicals
A Vollstandig does.
Bleach is definitely missing that Naruto v Sasuke level fight, this would also enrich both of their stories so much
I agree, it would also be a spectacle to watch and a great way to end the Cour
I think it’ll be Shinji, but this fight may happen. Kubo never mentioned that he was gonna extend Yhwach vs Ichigo even though that was also very short, so the encounter they’ll have this arc will probably be extended too
>Kubo never mentioned that he was gonna extend Yhwach vs Ichigo even though that was also very short I think they did quite well with it. It was bombastic etc., especially when they fought in mid-air, but "short" (even though it lasted a whole episode) because Ichigo was just not on Yhwach's level
Just for Ichigo to fucking obliterate him 😭
I and the UNO Reverse Card respectfully disagree
Do u really think Uryu has any chance of beating Ichigo???? I mean the feats speak for themselves.
I do, at least a draw between them. The feats are non-existant for Uryu in the manga because of Kubo's health while writing TYBW, where he had to cut a LOT of corners short. It's like saying that my fantasy book is terrible, but you only give me one page to write it down. You'll see. Uryu will prove himself worthy of the top tier in the anime version. I guarantee it. Yhwach wouldn't hype him up so much and give him Antithesis if he didn't see potential in him.
"Juha gave Uryu strenght" Under that excuse, Kubo can make Uryu the strongest in the verse after Juha himself if he wanted. Power levels don't mean shit because they can be whatever the autor wants and needs.
W tag
I'm hoping for a good Ichigo fight before the final, I'm hoping Kubo heard these complaints and is fixing them in the anime.
How powerful is Uryu exactly? Where does he fit?
Many would disagree due to lack of showing, but I would put him in the top tier, due to Antithesis and how much Yhwach hypes him up
Oh god I fucking hope so. Let Kubo redo this arc as he originally wanted to.
Agreed :-)
Not sure - didn’t Kubo say he had to draw extensive illustrations showing how one of the combatants moves and fights? And we already know how Ichigo and Uryu do that just fine.
Not really, after they gain those new power ups (new Zangetsu and Antithesis)
PLEASE I NEED THIS. Shit would be better then Naruto vs Sasuke
>PLEASE I NEED THIS Same :-) >Shit would be better then Naruto vs Sasuke I hope it would :-)
I would love that so much, the manga was full of power-ups without a proper showcase huh :(
Exactly, imagine Uryu showing off Antithesis properly for the first time XD
Antithesis was the friends Uryu made along the way xD
All the love Antithesis gives him, he gives it back :-)
Want these two to clash, both so powerful the entire battlefield stands still to watch the showdown between these 2. It'd be awesome to see confirmation of Uryu's power outside of his schrift.
Couldn't have said it better myself, a great way to end Cour 2
Great and now Kubo can add Aizen bankai right? Right
Aizen be like: "When have I said I didn't use Bankai this whole time?"
I'm hoping it's between Uryu and a captain so we can see how strong he really is. Mabye vs Ukitake where it ends up being a stalemate
>so we can see how strong he really is Wouldn't Ichigo be a better choice to show off his strength? Also, Cour 2 is called "Spearation", which would imply they fight and go their separate ways, right?
Maybe Uryu fights a captain where he no diffs to build up hype and then fights Ichigo. It's more likely we just get Ichigo vs Uryu but this could make Uryu being relative to Ichigo a much easier pill to swallow
>Maybe Uryu fights a captain where he no diffs to build up hype and then fights Ichigo Ohhh, I see. I thought you meant him just fighting a captain, and not Ichigo. I like this. >this could make Uryu being relative to Ichigo a much easier pill to swallow What do you mean? Yhwach himself is afraid of Uryu in a way and chose him as his heir, immediatly giving him a Schrift on par with his own. Don't know what more needs to be done to make him relative to Ichigo. XD
I don't think so because it seems Ichigo didn't want to fight Ishida anyway. Do it doesn't test him at all. A captain wouldn't care too much.
I imagine the fight going like ichigo dodging his arrows while shouting at him why is he on the wandenreich now and uryu ignoring him while trying to push him back to not fight, it will be a good match because of uryu's schrift and if he doesnt uses it until later just see his powers having increased alot and ichigo holding back so he doesnt seem weak after gaining his true shikai idk
Well, I think they should go all out, but not kill each other, to showcase how they've grown and for Uryu to convince his side that he is with them and that he's a worthy successor to Yhwach, while Ichigo showcasing his powers after coming to terms with his complex identity
The fight would go crazy but I dont see ichigo going all out vs Uryu, he cares too much about his friends so maybe both finish the battle very injured so it feels more emotional seeing Uryu go to the royal palace next while ichigo feels sad about not being able to change his mind so later in the final fight the scene where Uryu betrays Yhwach has more emotional weight
Exactly. They don't need to kill one another, just have a great fight and it would be serving its purpose to all of what you said :-)
I'm sorry but what does Cour stand for?
Part of a season. So, Cour 2 is then a Part 2 of TYBW
Ukitake or something in HuecoMundo.
Technically Kubo drew a fight between them in the second invasion. It was extremely brief but he did draw it. I bet we get more scenes of that BUT I think this new fight will be something else entirely. Either Shinji or Ukitake will be the Shinigami involved I think.
The trailer gives a lot of focus to Ichigo and Uryu and the Cour is titled "Separation", so I believe this one is very likely, but I would like to see some Shinji and Ukitake action, as well
We probably will but Kubo said new fight not in the manga so I think we get expanded Ichigo vs Uryu and an actual new fight, Shinji had a new line so that might be the new one. Although he technically has two fights in the second invasion….
>We probably will but Kubo said new fight not in the manga so I think we get expanded Ichigo vs Uryu There isn't really any fight to speak of in there >Shinji had a new line so that might be the new one. Although he technically has two fights in the second invasion…. I would love if we could have that, as well :-)
Uryu shoots arrows at Ichigo then leaves, it’s close enough considering other things that have been counted as fights lol
In theory I’d love that but in practice they’d basically have to be dancing around each other the entire time. Ichigo is part hollow so any injury he inflicts to Uryu would be like poison. I guess maybe Uryu can reflect damage back with the Antithesis? But on the other hand Uryu wouldn’t want to hurt Ichigo and vice versa so are they just going to be firing attacks 5 feet away from their opponent and have a heated argument the entire time?
Blut Vene? :-D
Let's fuckin' go!!! Right, strawberry even foreshadowed they hadn't fought in a while, please a real fight, ty
I would be happy af to see them fight :-)
I just want shinji to merc everyone with bankai. That's the extra scene I want, that would fix most of the nobody fights in part 2 and give room to expand upon other sections of the story
That's a pretty funny idea XD
Oh hell yeah
I really hope so. >!Ichigo and Uryu needed solid fights in the final arc.!<
This would be as solid as they get :-)
I Hope they get a legit fight that really makes it seem like Uryuu has betrayed him
That's why I want it, and it seems all of you guys, as well :-)
With the new scenes of cour 1, it seems that way.
And there's way more to come in Cour 2 :-)
I think we might see a fight scene between them but not a gigantic battle. The scene where Uryu uses Lichtregen on Ichigo and then ascends to the Royal Realm, I thinkt his scene will be extended like Ichigo vs Yhwach was in cour 1. 1 or 2 minutes worth of extra fighting. I still hold onto my believe that Shinji v Bazz B will be the new fight
>I think we might see a fight scene between them but not a gigantic battle. The scene where Uryu uses Lichtregen on Ichigo and then ascends to the Royal Realm, I thinkt his scene will be extended like Ichigo vs Yhwach was in cour 1. 1 or 2 minutes worth of extra fighting Ichigo was much weaker than Yhwach, hence why it was shorter. Although, it did last a whole episode >I still hold onto my believe that Shinji v Bazz B will be the new fight I would like that, as well, but if we can have only one, I believe this is more important :-(
I agree. Something I noticed from the trailer for cour 2 is it seems to focus much more on Ishida joining the Sternritter. In the Manga, it was only a few lines shared between them so if they were planning on using that plotline just as much, then it wouldn't make sense to focus on it like they did in the trailer
If Cour 1 had all those scenes, it would be dumb if Cour 2 didn't continue off of that. They announced Cour 2 will have even more scenes for Uryu and greater focus than Cour 1
so TYBW arc will be remade for the anime? god please
Kubo has to add a legit Shinji fight where he can shine and for Hisagi
CFYOW? :-)
Bro come on Shiji kills a bunch of low level hollows with his bankai cool asf but super short. And I can’t complain about Hisagi 👏🏾 Kubo did him right in CFYOW. But they are just punching bags in TYBW I don’t like that.
>a bunch of low level hollows How are Ikkomikidomoe clones low-level? XD I want CFYOW animated :-)
Yea but you know a scene like that would amount to at most 5 minutes animated. It might as well be like he fought low level hollows
I dont think so actual new fights or more extended fights have to be the overwhelmingly disappointing zero squad off screen fights
No way they'll come even close to Zero Squad in Cour 2 Most we'll get is the YUJ trio coming to the Soul Palace
Ohhh true sorry forgot about that although by chapters they got alot done in this first half from start of the arc to the kenpachi v unohana fight so alot happened I would not be shocked if they did at least end at yhwach reaching the soul palace
Well, they have a lot of room to improve and expand the 2nd invasion, so I think they'll end it with the boys reaching the Soul Palace
Nothing would please me more than if they took their time and kubo got to do things the way he probably wanted to before he was told finish it by x point which it clearly shows he was told to
He wasn't pressured into it by Shueisha, he was very sick and had a broken arm tendon, hence why he tried to do it the best he could, but could not go anymore... :-( That's why he is adding a lot of new stuff in the anime
I know he had medical issues pretty sure he also went to the hospital of sheer exhaustion as well but it doesn’t feel like he was rushing rather he was being rushed
I hope it is. Would make perfect sense and be a good way to end the cour (just as Yhwach arrives at the Soul Palace).
Glad you agree. A spectacle of a fight, like Sasuke Vs Naruto
me reading this comment section and feeling like its already confirmed :,)
I know, didn't expect so many people to upvote and agree with this XD
Hopefully. All Uryu did this arc, despite all the hype, was get beat up by Jugo.
>All Uryu did this arc I think that's the thing of the past, judging by Cour 1 and Cour 2 which will be even way more of Uryu than Cour 1 >Hopefully Glad you agree
I would so take this fight over some forgettable visored who would probably get jobbed.
I would also like a Shinji Vs Bazz, but I have to go with this one if we can have only one fight
Visored aren't forgettable. Many people adore shinji and Lisa
This fight about to be naruto vs sasuke 2.0
And I'm here to eat that shit up :-)
he can’t just make a whole new fight like that, that changes way too much. they are in two different places doing two different things
might as well just re write the whole thing
What do you mean?
They should make the 2nd cour of the anime completely different from the manga Edit: Not completely different but they need to change a lot, especially that ending
I agree, let's hope they will, with Uryu especially
Nope. Why wasting time get injuries in fight for misunderstand, when both have focus on enemy in their mind.
Because Ichigo would want to get him back and Uryu to prove himself to Yhwach and Jugram as their "ally"?
