Bleach 309 "Pray For the Mantis" spoilers and discussion

[Akutabi]

Well this is certainly different from most releases. Sure we've had releases that seem to just add some armor but an extra pair of arms and that crescent behind his head aren't what I expected

[Ulquiorra]

well his weapon is Indian in origin, if i recall correctly. Except vastly oversized.

[Riekie]

Yeah, and his overly-sized tongue can be seen as the trunk! So much for my Indian god reference

[blackluster]

The last panel seems to show the wound he got from Kenpachi in the last chapter, all stitched up. I wonder if that's actually his release or some other ability he has. If Ichigo is surprised, then it might be possible that Noitora hasn't released yet, he is just revealing his true sealed form.

[Shadoblak]

Holy Crap Noitora has four arms in his released form its Awesome Does this mean he is a Vasto Lord?

Thats interesting.....If it IS his released form it is decidedly human shaped and not catlike or pumpkinlike or giant squidlike or......Szayel...Like.....IF it is his released form and IF there are no animalistic claws or paws or such...he could be at least a pretty high level Adjucha......Did I mention Nnoitra Jiruga owns all? I didn't?? Well he does

Blackluster: Good point....if he's surprised he has four arms then its possible theres no viable reason he SHOULD have four arms, meaning he may not have released yet, but just gone all freaktastic.....which is still awesome

[GreenBlack]

One word sums up my feelings for the chapter, Nnoi's release, and my overall feelings about bleach right now:

AWESOME.

I am really happy to see his release! I wonder what he's supposed to be.

[Rain]

Thanks for the spoilers space (and the trans. danna)


I don't think that that is his release.

Im probably wrong, nnoitra has the reasons in the world to release now, but that just doesn't seem like a release to me.

the release generally does away with the sword/weapon (unless both he and nel are vastolordes), and aside from the two extra arms and horns he hasn't changed at all. It just doesn't seem like a release to me.

[debbiechan]

Woah. He looks cool. A really cool release for once (if that's what it is--I'm thinking it has to be--four arms, yeah... he's all Hindu and still humanish--creepier than an animal release....)

Ichigo won't interfere. 11th division has that code, remember? One on one fights. Ken-chan would kill Ichigo if he tried to interfere.

Ichigo, get a grip. This is Hueco Mundo.

Thanks Spacey.

[Pandakuza]

YAY, I'm so excited to see this release or whatever it is. It's super coolies. O-O I love Nnoi, I'm glad he didn't just drop dead in the last chapter. He looks all crazy.. and evil, and hot with no shirt.

Okay I'll stop. >->;

[imamess]

I'm not sure if it's a release either. All releases get rid the weapon, and Noi still has his scythe. Maybe this is more like his real form or the result of his regeneration/sewing back together.

edit: It's still pretty awesome, whatever it is.
