Narita the author of the novels, says he is using info that Kubo the original author of Bleach is giving him, accoring to a google translation of this:

https://mobile.twitter.com/comic_natalie/status/856236497942585345

Anyways.

If you speak Japanase can you translate this tweet? First chapter comes out on the 28th of April this month if the translation is correct.

  • Hisagi
  • Aizen
  • Ginjo
  • Grimmjow
  • Hallibel

Are the characters focus on this promotion. Questio is can we use any info from this novel and up coming powers since is based on the original author's work?

Edit: I'll post the sketches made by Tite Kubo for the Novels below as soon as I get my hands on them.

Round 1: https://imgur.com/a/Kyvmnqq
 
It would seem so. I want to see a Hisaghi's Bankai sketch from Kubo. According to the translation some Quincy survived and were exiled to Hueco Mundo. But what do they eat? Where do they get water?

Fullbringers (Ginjo), Arrancars (Grimmjow, Hallibel) and Aizen will be involve somehow. Do you think the novel is gonna go into the 1,000 years ago blood war? When Yhwach lost to Yamamoto?
 
Yeah, since Hisagi is one of the focal points, we should get some kind of information on his Bankai.

You mean part of the Sternritter? The elites died so it must be people like Liltotto and Bazz-B. At least hopefully. How many of them survived? Maybe Harribel feeds them or something.

Well, I don't really care about Ginjo but I'm interested in the rest. Not sure if the novel will release information on that war but it will be welcome if that happens. Weren't some people complaining about Yamamoto defeating Yhwach despite him having The Almighty? Or didn't he have it as of that fight?
 
It doesn't say, but not all Quincy died at least. But Hollows eat Reishi in Hueco Mundo to stay alive according to Uryu, can Quincy do the same?

Is weird. Ginjo is involve or investigating a new cult on Earth, the villain is a Shinigami using Hollows as Paws (Aizen's style) to form a war between all races. The manga shows him pre-fight with Almighty but it seems that Yamamoto, Oetsu and Ichibei didn't know anything about it. Maybe Yamamoto fought him at night time when he had the Balance? The manga only implies that Yamamoto failed to killed Yhwach, so is not very clear if Yhwach did lost or it came to a stalemate.
 
Quincy can absorb reishi, right? Maybe that's how they're sustaining themselves?

Ohhh, I'm interested in Ginjo's case now. Though isn't he dead? Urahara or Ichigo should be able to do that if it's on Earth. Yhwach and Yamamoto's case is confusing since there isn't much information and we didn't get the whole story. I hope the matter will be touched upon.

What about the others like Harribel and Aizen? What are they up to?
 
Yes they do, maybe, they were never mention to do that.

Yes he is dead, but souls can travel to Earth from SS, like Ichigo, Uryu's and Chad thanks to Urahara. Yeah, I would lile that too.

It doesn't say.

Sypnosis from link provides above:

"An assassination attempt aimed at the four great noble clans. An unknown shinigami attacks the Quincy and the Arrancar that survived in Hueco Mundo. A rapidly growing, mysterious religious group in the Human World…The turmoil in each of the three realms of existence was rooted in the new head of the Tsunayashiro family, one of the four great noble clans. Apart from being a shinigami, Hisagi Shühei approaches the case from a journalistic viewpoint. However, he does not yet know that he is trying to touch the fearful secrets of Soul Society itself…!!"
 
Just 2 novels for now. But I heard the first had big success and was reprinted twice so there is a big chance for more.
 
It was mostly about the state Soul Society was left in, two years from the battle with Yhwach, and 8 years before the final chapter, the wedding was barely focus on.

We got info on the captains, vizards, and vice-captains. Renji was the one to force Ichigo to confess to Orihime, or it was Uryu I forgot about it, shizz.

Two wolf clan members were allowed into the seireitei. The wolf kids, they are not Komamura's sons by the way.

And Aizen was doing some comunity service for his sentence, some paperwork? Or something like that.
 
20000 years of sentence... minus 2 years from the Final Arc. He has 19998 years left, they could reduce his sentence by that comunity service thingy, he is coming back, but it most be for Hisagi to visite him in Muken to ask him about Tosen who is involve in this novel.
 
First chapter is up, a lot of info. If this Novel considered canon, all the royal guard members have the same immortality as Ichibei, but different. Ichibei's is about stealing reiatsu from someone, the others is linked to absorbing reiatsu from the royal palace walls as long as someone says their name. It doesn't work outside the palace.

The chicken wasn't killed by Yhwach, some may had escaped.

It seems Ichigo was order to seal Aizen again, but since Aizen wanted to talk to Ichigo, Shunsui order "others" to do it. He feared Aizen can remove "White" from Ichigo, and Ichigo still has all of his powers.

When Ichigo got his shikai's a Zanpakutou was unsealed from the Ocean he evaporated, and someone stole it. That someone has a lot of different powers, similar to all of Yhwach's letters.

The novel does a couple of time-skips, but is most likely set after the 10 year timeskip.

There's more info, but i'll wait until the chapter is fully translated.
 
@Apple cheers mate. Probably won't be able to properly sit down and red the whole thing now cuz of exams, but I definitely will once those are out of the way.
 
The novel will be fully released during May, so you can read all the chapters at once. Good luck on the exams.
 
******* hyped. This just proves Kubo was rushed. He has at least 2 more years of material.

Also, more info. SPOILERS WARNING:

  • The introduction takes place just after the war ended.
  • The Soul King's death is kept secret from Soul Society inhabitants and most of the Shinigami soldiers.
  • Ichibe oversees the preparations for the new lynchpin in the Throne Room.
  • Shunsui appears and has a talk with Ichibe.
  • Ichibe's original plan for the "worst case scenario" was to seal Ichigo as the new Soul King.
  • Ichigo being sealed is what Shunsui meant when he told Ichigo's friends he may not be able to return.
  • Ichibe thought Ichigo would definitely lose against Yhwach.
  • There was no need to use Ichigo as the Soul King because Yhwach completely absorbed its powers.
  • Shunsui looks at the "lynchpin" and asks Ichibe whether what he's doing is obeying to the will of the Soul King or the will of the first Heads of the Five Noble Houses.
  • (unsure about this part) Ichibe asks Shunsui if he has the same hostility towards the current Heads, but Shunsui replies he considers them to be his friends and comrades in the Gotei 13, and that they shouldn't hold the burden of their ancestors' sins.
  • Grimmjow storms into the Throne Room, he's followed by Neliel and Harribel.
  • The Wandenreich building where Harribel was imprisoned was brought to the Soul King Palace when Yhwach remodeled it.
  • Nobody knows why Harribel was captured now that Yhwach is dead.
  • Neliel rescued Harribel.
  • Grimmjow confronts Ichibe because he believes the Shinigami will turn on them now.
  • Ichibe calmly tells him they can go back to Hueco Mundo.
  • Ichibe explains that purifying Hollows and the millions of souls they hold in the present condition would upset the shaky balance of the worlds.
  • Grimmjow still wants to settle things with Ichigo.
  • Harribel looks at the lynchpin preparation and says she can understand why Aizen would hate that.
  • Harribel wants to pay back her debt to the Shinigami (?), but Shunsui replies it's all right as long as they just lay low in Hueco Mundo.
  • The Hollow group leaves.
  • Ichibe leaves the Throne Room to wake up the other Royal Guards.
  • Shunsui questions what he meant by "wake up", as he thought they had been killed by the Schutzstaffel.
  • (really unsure about this part) Ichibe explains that the Royal Guards have had their reiatsu fused with the Soul King Palace, so as long as something remains of the Palace, they'll get revived after hearing their names.
  • Shunsui comments they narrowly escaped death this time, because if Yhwach had survived the battle, the last remnants of the Palace would have been replaced by Wahrwelt.
  • Oetsu got revived by Ichibe, he is deep under his Phoenix Palace with Mera.
  • A special zanpakuto was sealed in the ocean Ichigo evaporated, but its seal was destroyed and the sword stolen while Oetsu was away.
  • The zanpakuto soldiers who were left to guard it were all defeated, they're being healed by Tokie and Nonomi (Oetsu's zanpakuto assistants).
  • Oetsu is angered, but it's "different from the time he was facing Yhwach".
  • The wounds on the zanpakuto guards are strange, some have burns, some have parts of their body frozen, some are paralyzed, poisoned, have holes in their body, or had their limbs crushed.
  • Mera suspects the enemy attacked with large numbers, but one of the guards regains consciousness and corrects her, explaining there was only one attacker.
  • Mera doesn't believe a single person could have so many different abilities, but Oetsu seems to have an idea who the thief could have been.
  • The stolen zanpakuto is named "Ikomiki Domoe" (ÕÀ▓ÕÀ▒ÕÀ│ÕÀ▒ÕÀ┤).
  • Oetsu suspects the thief is from one of the Four Noble Houses.
  • Several days after the end of the war, the remaining Lille birds that fell from the Palace have been eliminated.
  • Orihime has helped the 4th division heal the Shinigami soldiers, even reviving some of them. However, bodies that have been almost completely destroyed or were outright annihilated can't be revived.
  • In the end, despite Orihime's efforts, the Shinigami still suffered many losses.
  • Shunsui talks for a bit with Aizen before sending him to Muken, Shunsui is wary because even Aizen's "words" can be part of a plan.
  • Aizen wished he could have talked more with Ichigo, but Urahara didn't let him.
  • Ichigo should've been the one to seal him, but it was too risky to give Aizen an opportunity to mess with his inner Hollow.
  • Ichigo is currently staying at the Shiba Shrine with Isshin and Orihime.
  • Shunsui sarcastically tells Aizen "Well then, I pray that you'll be an ally of Soul Society after you finish your sentence", but Aizen doubts Soul Society will still be around by then.
  • Aizen asks Shunsui if he saw Soul Society's original sin in the Soul King Palace.
  • Shunsui notices Aizen has the same expression as Harribel, but he doesn't want to answer his question because other Shinigami are present.
  • Aizen mocks Shunsui as he seems to not be comfortable talking about Soul Society's sins, but Hisagi appears and interrupts him.
  • Hisagi had been healed by Orihime, but it took a few days for him to recover his reiatsu, so he had been in a coma since Lille shot him.
  • Kensei still is a zombie, and is currently undergoing treatment in Mayuri's recovery pod.
  • Hisagi rushed to see Aizen after waking up, because he wanted to talk with the man Tosen decided to follow.
  • Hisagi asks Aizen how he could have manipulated Tousen into joining him, but Aizen explains Tousen was working with him since before Hisagi joined the Shinigami.
  • Hisagi is conflicted, he thinks back to Komamura telling him to let go of his revenge, but he can't forgive Aizen.
  • Hisagi is angered, and tells Aizen that even though he helped out against Yhwach, he'll be his enemy for all eternity as the man who killed Tousen.
  • Aizen smiles and replies "Aren't you talking about eternity too lightly? After all, even Tousen's beliefs weren't eternal."
  • Hisagi is furious, but Aizen says he seems to be misunderstanding something.
  • He didn't kill Tousen to punish him for being defeated, killing him was "his mercy".
  • Neither Hisagi, Shunsui, nor the other Shinigami understand what he meant.
  • Hisagi asks him what that "mercy" was, and Aizen explains that if he had let Tousen leave back then, he'd have undoubtedly been healed by Orihime or Unohana. But if Tousen had survived, he'd have fallen into despair and been tormented by his own heart. As such, killing him was an act of mercy for his most loyal subordinate.
  • Hisagi still doesn't really get what he means, so Aizen tells him the time will come when he will understand everything about the Soul Society and the Shinigami.
  • Shunsui has had enough of Aizen talking and instructs the Shinigami to take him down to Muken.
  • Hisagi requests to be able to ask him more questions, but Soi Fon shunpo's behind him, twists his arm and berates him for disturbing the order.
  • Hisagi realizes she's right, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of Aizen when he got so furious over simple words.
  • Hitsugaya adds that he should be holding his sword out of duty, and not out of hatred.
  • Aizen is taken away, his last words to the Shinigami being "If you want to see the truth, you will have to sacrifice your own blood and soul."
  • Most of the Shinigami dismiss Aizen's words as nonsense, but the Captains realize he's not the kind of man to say pointless things.
  • Aizen's words are "like loose poison that remains in the mind". But in Hisagi's case, that poison "invited him to a fight". It was only six months after the end of the war that he would face the reality.
Edit: Supposedly these came from /a/ 4chan.
 
@KuuIchigo Thank you very much for the information. I wish that the editors had not rushed Kubo's ending.
 
To be fair even with the end of the Manga u can tell Kubo at least tried to salvage it. And I personally never found it awful, save Yhwach defeat... I still don't completely understand what happened with Ichigo's sword.
 
Thank You for the extra info @KuuIchigo!

@Burning Full Fingers Orihime could already revive people, the first time she did it was when Grimmjow killed one of the fracciones that bully Orihime.

If they decide to continue the anime, I want to see this novels animated.
 
Thanks for that @KuuIchigo.

Damn that's a lot of good material. Such a shame.

And Ichigo being a potential Soul King candidate I guess 100% justifies his Tier 5 rating here.

Okay, forgot about that. Maybe if the novels are a success, the anime will come back.

The novels are a huge success. They fared far better than anyone expected.
 
Yep, the reason she couldn't revive Ichigo when he fought Ulquiorra was because Ulquiorra leaves his reiatsu on the victim's body, around the hole, Grimmjow told her that it was Ulquiorra's trademark.

I don't know about the Soul King, perphaps Yhwach destroy her shield by changing the future.
 
Well, more like an anti-villain.
 
He killed Central 46, Gin, Tousen, hundreds of soul reapers to create the Hogyoku, and the ones he killed by words and orders, Aizen is an Anti-Villain.
 
Not sure if anyone has already read it, but here is the full translation of the first part: Here.

Here is also the summary of the second part: Here.
