Predictions *Updated*

When the episode comes out I will move it up to the released section.

Messager of Hell Arc: Chapters 27-33

Episode 10: Chapters 27-33

Going off the previews for the next episode, there are two things that are apparent:

Skip chapter 26.
This arc will only last one episode!


Hollow Contest Arc: Chapters 33 (second half)-50

I reassessed the episodes and I am rethinking the progress they are going to make.

Episode 11: Chapters 33 (second half)-37

This episode will set the next arc up and will introduce another character that starts a hell of a lot of crap. They will probably skip a lot of the humor in the chapters again and focus on the quincy character and the battles between Ichigo and him. The ending of chapter 37 is a good way to end the episode.

Episode 12: Chapters 38-43

This episode sets up the powers of Chad and will end when he defeats the monster. They will most likely skip between Chad and Orihime fight. It may end with the store owner finding them.

Episode 13: Chapters 44-50

Ends the arc and they will most likely cut it to where it fits in one episode and the end of chapter 50 is a good way to end the arc. What I don't think they will do is have this arc in two episodes. That would drastically reduce this arc and all its glory, actually, I don't think they can reduce this less than three episodes.

Individual Training Arc: Chapters 51-67

Episode 14: Chapters 51-56

This episode starts the next arc and should include all of these chapters as I think they will cut out a lot of nonsense humor stuff (homosexual joke) and cut it so that it fits in one episode.

Episode 15: Chapters 57-62

Sets up the training session of Ichigo and will most likely cut most of the good humor (like every time). Conclude with a major cliffhanger when Ichigo turns into a hollow!

Episode 16: Chapters 63-69

Hell of a lot action with a cliffhanger we love so much. Also ends the Ichigo training arc.

Rescue Rukia Saga: Chapters 70-158

I'm only predicting these chapters because I want to complete the set and not worry about it. I will most likely have to go back and redo everything but that should be fine.

Disclaimer

Really, this is a game that I like playing: trying to predict the next episode from the manga chapters. Sometimes it is easy because there is a pattern they follow, like for example, they usually end with a cliffhanger so that people will go crazy wanting for the next episode. With Bleach, it is becoming easier as they are creating a new pattern (that sucks but understandable) that they may follow but they could always break from it from time to time.

Feel free to disagree or give your own predictions, it would be fun to discuss.

I'm sure I am wrong in my predictions, it would be more accurate if they followed some sort of formula. Problem is that they are jumping all over the place.

Can't wait until more episodes come out.

Is it just me or is the shinigami in episode 8 non-existent in the manga?

You are correct, the shinigami is not in the manga chapters but I think I have some idea on who the guy is. He may be in the later chapters but I think that perhaps he is a plot device for the upcoming episodes. He will give the anime more story and I think they may do some fillers later.



Oh, I guess I don't really need to tell anybody but the way the are going through the manga there is no way to tell exactly what chapters they are going to use. They seem to have their own plans and it is working great for the manga. If they did it exactly like the manga there would be a lot of confusion and wouldn't be as great. Then again, Manga purist are probably going to have hell to pay. I think they did something like this with Trigun, except that Bleach will have more episodes.

No that shinigami has never appeared in the manga. I've read all the scanslations available and viewed all the raws after that and he doesn't ever appear nor is his name mentioned.

Since he is new then there is no way to know what happens to him afterwards. Like I said, he is a plot device that will be used later. When I first saw him I thought he was the pretty boy captain, but he wears glasses so I thought that was right. I don't think he will appear after the next episode or they may keep him to episode 10.
