Wow. Just finished reading 316. I'll use spoiler tags, just in case. We go back it time and see the Shinji (when he was a Shinigami), as 5th seat Captain! and Aizen was his Lt! That was interesting. It was really interesting to see Urahara back when he just became 12th captain. I like how we see these characters back before the present storyline. It's weird how we were just barely strating a new storyline, when we get this, but I like how we get to see Shinji and that girl the always kicks him (forgot her name), when they were just shinigami.

I say it's about time Kubo brought something to the table other than fight after fight. I was actually excited and half off the chair reading. Haven't felt that way in a long time over Bleach. And it is about time we get a better understanding of the Vizard, who they are, why the are there and what purpose do they serve beyond teaching Ichigo a lousy 11 seconds of being a hollow. May the pieces continue to fall into place... and remain interesting.

I totally agree! I was getting bored of Bleach and this is a nice refreshing change. I think Kubo came to his senses. lol
EDIT: Yay! 1,000 posts!!!

very nice chap, we definitely needed some plot back ground. Especially in regards to the vizard and the royal guard. some of my vizard observations in spoiler tags. we get to see several other vizards as well. Hiyori (girl that kicks Shinji in the face) is the 12th division lieutenant (you can see her squad tag on her arm 2 pages before the last page where she's lined up near the door). Aigawa Love is the captain of the 7th, and on the page where they talk about the zero squad, the guy that says to line up is Kensei Muguruma (he's the vizard that makes his zampakto a combat knife) The vizard with long blond hair named Rose is mentioned as being recently promoted to the 3rd division captain We also find out that Kenpachi is captain of the 11th during this 100 year flash back and Unohana still has a reputation as being fierce and/or powerful (at least you don't want to be on her bad side). Also, it appears that the captains that have been in their positions the longest are Yamamoto, Kyourake, Yukitake and Unohana.

Yeah, I think the same thing. There was a lot of information about the Special Forces and the 2nd Squad this time around. Also Urahara isn't wimpy at all. He just looks wimpy. Mayuri looks insane though... no wonder why they had him locked in the 'maggots nest'.

I am willing to bet Mayuri had something to do with the creation of the Hougyouku and that is going to be a major secret revealed. It's creation is what got Uruhara pushed out of Seireitei... but who's the guy that's into human experimentation?

Seriously some genius scientist are able o make break throughs because their imaginations aren't bound by certain morality. You can definitely say that Mayuri falls into that category. I'm wondering why they had to lock him up separately though.
But yeah the 2nd divsion is full of strong fighters. Makes me wonder who was Yourichi's VC at the time. I highly doubt it was Soi Fong.

I was actually surprised when I saw that Mayuri was the one Urahara wanted to see, but I understand why. Mayuri HAS to have been part of the creation of the Hogyoku. This is definetely interesting. I now look forward to reading new chapters of BLeach, and I can't WAIT to see these chapters animated!

-105 of the flashback is out and we get to see some interesting stuff. Officially, Urahara creeps the heck out of me, man I even think he creeps out Mayuri
We get to see Bayakuya when he was young and brash, apparently Yourichi teases him quite a bit.
Gin, is also officially a genius. He graduated from the academy in 1 year and landed 3rd seat in the 5th squad. Also, still as creepy as we thought. He's around the same age as Bayakuya

Yup, and Gin was a cold blooded killer and evil genius back then. Just killling the 3rd seat guy with a smile on his face. Scary.
lol! Byakuya made me laugh. He's definetely different than how he is now.

Oh.. I just loved young Byakuya! Still developing that attitude of his. Pretty interesting though- I am curious as to what he and Yuroichi hold against each other. We know that he could very well be mad at her still for removing Ichigo from the fight during the Soul Society arc... but what lies beneath that grudge.
Gin is such a worm. In fact, I have a feral cat that sucks around my house that I named Gin. The other two have been called Aizen and Tousen... but Gin is the evil hissing type with a pretty face- just like the character!

my guess is that she was his 1st crush, and she probably mocked him publicly for it

^lol, Atton! I actually kinda hope that's true. lol
@gug- I think it's awesome that you have 3 cats named after Gin, Tousen, and Aizen. I acutally would be more careful of "Aizen". He may be more evil than he looks (like the one in the story). lol
I'm always looking forward to reading BLeach, now that these chapters are coming out. I really like seeing the characters back then. Does anyone think that we'll see Ishin, Ichigo's dad? I hope we do!!

I'm unsure about Ichi's dad. If he does get some flashback time I'm think it'll be tied to Ishida's dad as well. They seem to have a common history.
