Will the Captains regain their Bankais?

[spaced1000]

I have been seeing in this last chapter some possible progress on the Captains trying to achieve Bankai. I thought the end of Chapter 538 with Komomura meeting that gigantic dog creature. Maybe a relative? Hitsugaya going back to regular shinigami training.

I mean Byakuya was taken to the Palace to be healed, I am assuming he will regain his powers as well.

I am really excited to see what happens from this point, and on a side note, Ichigo, doesn't that look like his Hollow self? hmmmm

thoughts?

I think this should belong in the actual Chapter 538 spread.

Personally, I don't think it's a question of "will they regain it", but more like "when?". Will they get stronger? Well that's the point of this arc I assume lol.

[.access timeco.]

Granted they will. The fact Daiguren Hyourinmaru evolved into a "real Bankai" we didn't saw yet pretty much proves that Hitsugaya will get the chance of using it again to show its "real powers" to us.

They will get it back, but its "how" they will get it back which will be interesting. It would leave a lot of people too mad, if Byakuya or Hitsugaya never got it back. Soifon and Komamura don't have as much love, but I'm sure people want to see them again too.

[hotdog]

Yeah obviously. Except Yamamoto, I don't think he'll be able to get his one back.

They will all go to the royal realm and pay Ouetsu to reforge their zanpaktous and he will also add some hax abilities to them.

I think in the next battle, some of the captains will be able to steal the medallion or break it and have their bankai returned to them and then we'll get to see Hitsugaya's new Bankai. New bankai will emerge from Hisagi, which will be cool. We still don't know whether Kira is dead or alive.

[Sacred Knight]

I think so. I also think it will be however that the medallions must be destroyed to restore the bankai, and only a Quincy can destroy them. Thus it will be that the captains getting their bankai back will rest in the hands of essentially Ichigo and Uryuu (if he is really on their side).

yup exactly; "when" is the question here.
there's not the slightest doubt they'll have their bankai back once the series finishes. but will they find a way to counter the VR ability during the war and struggles or will it only be possible once bach's defeated?

both are possible options IMO but since we got spammed with bankai here and there I actually wouldn't mind if the bankais were lost until the big bad is gone.

[Ichigo Kurosaki]

It's obvious.

We'll be seeing long waited Toshiro 'Real Bankai' in some battle.
