Talk of bleach's latest chapters-=spoilers for anime and viz fans=-

[Kaname Tousen]

Okay so we have the Mayuri being a pimp and taking The 8th Espada out only a drug and his zanpakuto in an unreleased state finding two bodies through a door(still unexplained). His vice captain holding down Ishida and smothering him with her bossom after Mayuri says he'll "fix" Ishida which Ishida freakes out at the wording and the cold stare. Renji wanting to go help Kenpachi but being told if he went he would be killed by the fighters if he just waltzed in.

Kenpachi is wounded from the slash from last chapter, but takes the upper hand almost literally by shoving his hand in Nnori's face slamming Nnori's head into the ground and goes for a stab through Nnori's eye patch which Nnori dodge. Ken says Nnori dodged out of fear of being cut Nnori retorts saying it was just a fighter's reaction after a few more panels of action Kenpachi goes for a thrust which the sword goes right through Nnori's eye patch but Nnori just laughs it off and cut's Kenpachi again


Predictions from me:a Shikai maybe Bankai form of Kenpachi's blade along with removal of the spirit leech eye patch and tooth and nail fight carries on for another few chapters before one finally loses their life most probably Nnori and Tousen or wonderweiss finishes Kenpachi

I would like to see Kenpachi obtain some form of release but unless he's been training heavily off-screen somewhere (certainly possible) I doubt it'll happen. 

Do you really think someone will finish off Kenpachi?  No one seems to stay permanently dead.
