Oh the need. Speed is what you craved. It was all consuming. You constantly worked on your bike and muscle car. You told yourself this was the last time, that it was getting to dangerous. But the more you fought it the more you desired it. The icy night air stinging the skin, the danger of it all. It was the best damn feeling of your life, and you loved every second. Maybe it's what took you in the end. You fell your body begin to break and form at the same time. Your bones growing longer and larger. Becoming lithe but powerful.

You were strong willed. You remember getting into fights with others who insulted those close to you, and butting heads with those who went against you. They had no right to. The only who would define you was you dammit. This meant you didn't have a lot of friends, breaking such things over small acts. But those who kept you found a steadfast friend for life. You were a good friend, and a dangerous enemy who could hold a grudge.

You remember a little about your parents, it's fuzzy but there. You were born in Germany but raised in the good old US. Your mom was a happy go lucky German immigrant who also saw the brighter side of life. Dad was a proud patriot who met mom while stationed in Germany, after coming back he worked in a mechanics shop and taught you everything you know. But eventually you grew up moved out fell in love. You get flashes of a fight. A women leaving in a storm, searching with your motorcycle. Then tracks, a horn, bright lights and emptiness.

>>You've gained [Recuerda] - This hollow can remember its life without destroying itself.

Your form begins to finalize you're large about two stories tall. With a thin tail ending in a tuff of fur. You have hooves, but your hands are clawed. You see your face in a reflection. Your face is covered in some sort of mask, it looks like the mix between the skulls of a Ram and a Saber tooth. Able to switch between a bipedal, and quadrupedal stance without problem.

You begin to panic but suddenly you feel a powerful hunger almost like a punch to the gut and rush forward as if being pulled somewhere. You stop, around a corner is a delinquent. He's shouting at someone under a light but they ignore him. You see he has a chain like you did.

This hunger it's like nothing you've ever felt before. The new hole in your chest aches as if stabbed. Your stomach feels like a fire that'll kill you if not doused. You try to fight it you really do, but you can't help it. It just hurts so much. Your rush forward from behind the building. He spots you and tries to run, but its already to late as you drop to all fours and pounce. You mutter. "I'm sorry." Your large dagger like fangs sink into him as you tear him apart. You hate to say it but you relish it. The pain growing less severe every bite till there's nothing left. With one final swallow you stand again. Only to hear clapping, you turn around to face another monster like yourself. He approaches while slow clapping.

"Well that's quite the show. Always amazing to see how first timers react. You were quite entertaining, almost no hesitation too!"

You turn towards the monstrous figure, both scared but curious about your similarities. You speak up, no longer afraid. "Just what the hell are you?"

"My you've got a mouth. And as for what you are is a Hollow boy. We're lost souls who devour other souls like the Plus you just devoured." He says with a sneer. "Do we go anywhere?" You ask. "Well there is Hueco Mundo, we can travel there if we try hard enough but you won't need to." His tone takes on a more malevolent tone. "You see I had my eye on that morsel, before you stepped in. But you'll have to do he says." The large lizard Hollow sighs before charging.

You aren't just sit here and die... AGAIN! All while some arrogant bastard tries to eat you. You drop your head and start charging him back. "Oh so you've got some spine after all." He says tauntingly. He moves out of the way at the last minute sending you into a building. You get your sense back and pounce at him, he dodges at the last moment. But your claws still manage to take a chunk out of his side. "Ahh you bastard!" He shouts. He tries to hit you but you both lock hands instead trying to overpower each other. Your reflexes have always been good, have to be when you drive at 120mph. Your new horns catch your eyes. You see his claws glowing and try to do the same. But instead you try and make your horns stronger. The begin to glow brightly and he adopts a panicked look. With his arms held in place your head lunges forward goring him on your horns. He screams and struggles for a few moments before falling limp.

>You've gained [Cornear] - You channel your Reiatsu into your horns, giving them unnatural strength and toughness. Penetrating those with less Reiastu easily.

You remove your horns, and without hesitation begin to devour the body. It's far more flavorful, and filling then the "Plus" from earlier. As you devour it you feel your muscles growing stronger, which only makes you tear in faster. You think about what your horns, as you wonder what that power was the word "Reiatsu" enters your mind.

You wonder the city for several more hours, dashing down streets, leaping across the roof tops. Along the way you encounter several more Hollows that attack on site and some stray Pluses. You were reluctant, but as the void inside is satisfied more, and you grow a little stronger you become more willing. You also discover you can cover short distances almost instantly. But you stopped it quickly as it was taking more out of you then you were getting. You leap to a rooftop sensing something below. You hope it's more aggressive Hollows. They're much more filling, and you don't feel as bad. You do question if you're becoming a bit to willing about cannibalism though.

.>You've gained [Pesquisa] - The power to detect, pinpoint, and measure Reiatsu.

As you look down you see not one but three Hollows, all laughing in and closing in on a weaker Hollow. "Please get away." She says. You tell from her voice. She reminds you of what a humanoid Okapi might look like. The other just laugh while continuing their approach planning to devour her.

We have the ability that lest's us tank for others so might as well get some compadres.

Could spin it as us using the weaker hollow as bait for the larger ones. I doubt we can stave off our hunger long enough to do that with a plus.

Sure you eaten some Hollows but that was different they attacked you, you aren't just going to stand by and let it happen to someone else. You use Sonído and appear behind one of the hollows a large bird like one, and and cut him in half with your claws. The crab like Hollow which seems to be the leader hits you in the side of your head. You're sent flying as you feel your mask crack and blood fill your mouth. You try to push yourself up. But as soon as you do you see the third Hollow, a manticore like one, leaping at you. But he's blown to the side at the last moment by a ball made of Reiatsu. You for the source which seems to be the Okapi. The crab notices too and rushes her. "You bitch!" He yells before rearing back to hit her. You reach out instinctively and shout "Escudo Final!" The blow connect with her stomach, but nothing happens to her. Instead you're the one blown off your feet as you feel the punch. She grabs the Hollow's arms and headbutts him cracking both his mask and yours. They begin to grapple but he's easily overpowering her.

The manticore is getting back up though. How do you finish this?

You pull yourself up again the blow you took from absorbing her headbutt still ringing in your ears. You steady yourself as you charge the manticore, you can take the blows for her if it's only one attacker, but two would do you both in. The manticore is caught off guard as you bash into his side and full speed tumbling through the wall of a parking garage. You roll your shoulder with a popping sound as he gets backs up you say. "What you didn't see that coming?" He roars charging you, which you do in turn. But instead of grappling you use dodge at the last moment careening your arm into his face. Causing cracks to splinter out from the mask. You use one hand to grab his neck as the one that hit him grabs his head. With all your might you pull on the Hollow as he lets out a piercing shriek. His neck finally gives as you pull off his head spine included. You throw it into a nearby dumpster.

You turn back towards the crab and okapi to find him on top of her about to go in for the kill. You use Sonído to appear behind him before you throw him off and curb stomp his head to paste. You turnaround to the okapi and offer her a hand which she tentatively takes. "Thank you." She says trying to catch her breath.

"What's your name?" You ask. "I don't have one. You?" She responds sadly.

Had I been around I would have. Every other Hollow quest goes the boss/subordinate route where we learn the meaning of friendship or die trying I want to play an unrepentant monster dang it.

But if Key and the player want to roll that way then so be it.

>>3003998
We can turn it around. Let's own a hoard of slave hollows.

>>3003984
I wasn't here for the choice, now I am trying to pick what makes sense for what we have got.

>>3004001
>>3003998
You can literally treat them however you want. You can use them as meat shields or slaves, just have to make sure they don't runaway. Or you can have a more formal I'm the boss relationship, or just be friends. Nothing says you can't treat them well and be a monster to everyone else either.

Also I forgot Hennessy's just going to be used as the last name that's probably never mentioned.

You sit down across from her after piling up the corpses of the Hollows. She seems hesitant but as she sees you aren't pulling her leg she begins to devour the bird hollow, slowly at first but after a few moments she begins to tear into it voraciously like she's starved. While you eat yours you take the chance to get a better look at her. Her form is lithe, but also stout in stature. The coloring across of her body is a light sky blue with white stripes on her limbs. Like you her feet are hooves, but she's completely bipedal and her hands end in four fingers instead of five claws like yours. Her mask is like a regular Okapi. He regard her for a few moments before speaking finally. "You're eating like you're starved. Also what was that about back there, who are you anyway?" She looks backup surprised as if she was so consumed with eating she forgot you were there. "Oh sorry, I guess I got carried away." She says as she take the last bite of the bird hollow, and you take yours. "I was attacked by those jerks when I left Hueco Mundo. They decided I'd be an easy meal." You ask her why'd they think that. "Oh! You must be new, though I'm only four weeks old so I guess that makes us both new." She begins eat part of the remaining crab Hollow as you cut it into equal halves. "That's simple cause I'm a female Hollow. You haven't been around long but you'll realize there ain't many of us. No one knows why but we're weaker then male Hollows so we make easy prey. I'm actually older then most others like me! I've been hiding in Hueco Mundo, but had to leave to finally hunt." You finish the last bite of your hollow and decide to address the Okapi in the room. "So what's your name." She seems a little shocked for a moment before saying. "Umm I don't have one, most Hollows don't remember, make their own, or are given them. You?"

You don't recall your name when you were alive, but a name comes to your mind. "Neo'verst Hennessy, but just say Neo or Verst." "Sure thing Verst." As you get up so does she. You test something and walk a little north, looking behind you confirm she is following you. She notices and looks a little embarrassed. "So can I follow you."

You regard her for a few moments. You can feel your hole ache the more you think about abandoning her, your protective side just not allowing it. With a deep sigh you say. "Yeah you can come along!" To which she replies with a cheer and ground shaking hop. "But let's make somethings clear I'm the boss what I say goes, alright." You got it boss she says with a salute falling in line. "Hope you can keep up." You say before taking off.

If she was a high end hollow we would know.

Adjuchas and VAsto Lorde are not subtle and they have distinctive looks.

>>3004404
She could still be on the verge of Adjuchas and baiting lesser hollow in a foolish attempt to evolve.

Lol no.

Before you go Adjuchas you have to be a gilean, and those are super noticable and dumber than sacks of bricks.

pic shows 3 of them.

>>3004419
Right. Forgot about that. I need to brush up on my hollow fluff.

>>3004419
I'm writing now, but quick correction. Those are gillians that can't evolve. The ones that can have the mask of the dominant soul in the gillian, and carry its intelligence and personality.

Guys, idea for how we can both use our tanking abilities and still embrace being an unrepentantly evil sumbitch.
Bonnie and Clyde this shit.

>>3004462
I was thinking we could go full "We control how much power our subordinates have, but that works plenty.

>>3004462
So Caprice will be our out in the open face of evil while we work in the background being a super dick?

>>3004382
I'm pretty sure reatsu hiding/manipulation was a Quincy specialization as well as something a small amount of shinigami could pull off. Maybe she was a quincy or fullbringer when she was alive and her skillset is a manifestation of her former power?

>>3004440
True but while some Gilean can spontaneously change masks, those are both rare and don't last as gileans long, they either go adjuchas or revert back to mindlessness in short order.

You spend the next several days with Caprice hunting down stray Pluses and Hollows looking for an easy meal. You've developed a good strategy. She waits out in the open seeming lost. When a Hollow takes the bait you circle around back while she runs away and pounce on it tearing it to shreds. If a Hollow manages to get a blow in on her you use Escudo Final to absorb it while she uses that Bola De Alma of hers. It's pretty powerful actually, she's able to control how strong it is and at max it feels like being hit with a cannonball. Both of you have grown a stronger from your feedings as well.

You've also had the chance to talk with her over the past several days about being Hollow and some of the ends and outs. Apparently Hueco Mundo's a pretty dangerous place with the surface being filled with Hollows called Adjuchas and a rare form called Vasto Lorde. The underground is the only real place for weaker Hollows, and some Adjuchas claim parts as their territory enforcing "laws" of their own or making meeting places. There's also spirits that hunt Hollows called Shinigami, and Quincies. But american Hollows like yourself just call them the Ferrymen.

Now today you've come faced to face with one. You were setting your trap out again, and now you're both facing a man in black oriental robes with a katana who's slow clapping. "Well well well, consider me impressed I'd wondered why this areas activity was dropping so low. Looks like I have you duo to think. But alas a job is a job." He says while unsheathing his sword.

If this is one of the legendary Ferrymen Caprice told you about you want to see what one can do. You use Sonído to appear behind him and slash down. Your hear mutter "Hohō" under his breath and faster then you can see he's turned around and blocked your blow, a smirk splits his face as he struggles but succeeds at stopping your claws from sinking into him. "Well you're faster then I expected I'll give you that." He says nonchalantly while out of the corner of your eye you see Caprice moving behind him, she forms her Bola De Alma and throws it. But at the last moment he swings you around and uses you to absorb the blow. He uses Hohō again and appears in front of Caprice. She strikes him but he merely turns his head back popping it. A moment later he's standing level with her face and kicks here through a nearby wall.

He sheathes the katana. "A shame I'd hoped for a real fight, but this will have to do." You find your feet again. "Who are you?" You ask.

He looks at you again without a care. "My name is Danuja, 3rd seat of 10th division of the Gotei 13."

"So mister Ferryman that suppose to mean something to me, or is that just the toll for the canoe ride!" You shout trying to get his attention as you see Caprice rising out of the ruble suppressing her Reiatsu to near dead levels. He looks at you like someone looks at the scum on their boot. "Of course a monster from a backwards country like you wouldn't know properly about the Shinigami. The Gotei 13 is an organization dedicated to helping regulate the flow of souls an destroying your ilk. But fear not you will know peace soon." He says as Caprice's fist pounds him into the ground. She hits him a few more times before he manages to push him back. He doesn't use Hohō this time and you see one of legs is broken. His katana also lies in the crater Caprice pummeled him into.

"Bastards." He shouts while struggling to breath. "I'll get you back for this!" He screams as he tries to flee. But you won't let that happen you use Sonído to appear in front of him and try to stab him in the chest, he stops you with his hands. "You fucker it'll take more then that to ki" His speech is cutoff as Caprice grabs his arms and bites off his head from behind.

He drops dead blood gushing from the stump that was his neck, the sword in the crater cracking before exploding in white light. You both descend on the corpse, each bite driving you both further. If you had to compare it Hollows and Pluses would be fast food, while this, now this is a gourmet meal made by a world renowned chef. You and Caprice can both feel yourselves growing stronger with each bite. His Reiatsu going down with him like a refreshing drink that becomes apart of you with every swig. It's so good you'd swear it's alcoholic.

We should go to ground for now. We just offed a Third Seat, we are NOT ready to take a Captain or even a Lieutenant yet, so we need to let the heat blow over.

>>3004887
We' really shouldn't have beaten the third seat either, we got lucky he was arrogant.

A LT can pulp anything below high tier adjuchas pretty easily.

>>3004893
I mean the ambush helped.
Remember that in early Bleach, the standard tactic presented for killing Hollows was to get the drop on them and destroy the mask with one strike.
The powercreep kind of killed that concept, but it seems reasonable that a bit of luck and a surprise attack could take out an opponent above ones nominal weight class.

You quickly run from the city and don't stop till you both reach a small town. You both sit down by a bus full of people you knocked into a tree eating the Pluses that emerge. You bring up the question to her if you should try to eat more Shinigami. She laughs at you, when she realizes you aren't. "Oh you're serious." She puts the remaining half of the Plus she's eating down. "Look boss I'm going to be honest with you, we got lucky. Back there was probably some noble kid who probably bought his way in. Now sure he had strong Reiatsu but he didn't have the moves. Plus he did the one thing you never do, he let his guard down because he thought we were no threat. So no I don't think we should go hunting more! That just wasn't a fight we could win fairly, that was luck." You continue eating as you consider her words. She's right you need to be stronger both of you if you want to survive.

"Can those Vasto Lorde you mentioned help train use?" She actually does an impressive spit take with the Plus intestines at that. "Okay now I know you're joking. Look Vasto Lorde are incredibly rare you used to be able to count them on one hand. But after that Aizen guy there're even less now. The only one that might have was Tier Harribel and she's busy ruling Hueco Mundo. Not to even mention the stories I've heard of ones that are so powerful their presence can kill lesser Hollows. Thankfully they're few and hard to find.

With that chat over you both train your powers for the next few days. You manage to gain some control over Sonído that's not just instinctual. You also made a new skill to strengthen your body against blows you might take in the future using your Reiatsu.

>[Calcificación] - The user spreads their Reiatsu through their body hardening it momentarily against strikes.

Caprice meanwhile trains her body using her new Reiatsu to make herself stronger and faster. The Difference is quite large from when you first met her, now you guess she could overpower a newly formed male Hollow.

>>3005077
This seems pretty clearly set after the series ended. Aizen is locked up. I have little idea on if Burn The Witch is part of this setting but im guessing things would be slightly different since Shinigami are supposed to be the "eastern barbarians."

>>3005109
Ah, my bad. So we're going to have to deal with the super Quincy or is this completely after canon?

>>3005117
No idea. I merely noticed the timeline from >>3005039
If Harribel is in charge then it's after Aizen's arc at mimium and the whole "after that Aizen guy" part cements that we're after they got killed off by the Shinigami. I'm sure the meanwhile in heuco mundo option might shed some more light on the timeline as a background detail.

Several more days had past and now we found ourselves in Hueco Mundo home of the Hollows. I looked down at the two Adjuchas glaring at me, I knew I was larger but they were far stronger. With a quick gesture they let me through. The entrance lead inside a plateau, Inside which scurried hundreds of Hollows. "Tell me again why everyone isn't eating each other again?" I asked. Caprice looked exasperated but answered anyway. "These places are able to work because strong Hollows claim an area as their territory. They then make weaker but still strong Hollows into their subordinates. They enforce what laws they want and in exchange for following them you can stay without being eaten." I looked around the place and noticed while everyone wasn't hostile they were certainly on guard and wanted to butt heads. "So what happens if a strong Hollow like the boss decides to break some rules."

She actually got a little nervous and let out a meek chuckle. "Yeah let's hope that doesn't happen, haha." My that's reassuring you think. You look around trying to see what the purpose of a place like this is, then it clicks as you stare at a group. They were talking about some disaster and how there should be an influx of souls soon, above them are a group of Adjuchas listening. So information was the name of the game, Hollows that have been out bring in information, the "guards" overhear and bring it to the kingpin, and if no one plays nice they get eaten, but if they do play nice they get about as safe a place to rest as you can get as a Hollow. "So tell me how do I get information from here." You ask. "Well that's easy." She tells you with a smile, well you assume kind of hard with the mask. "Challenges. That's the rule of THIS place at least. No fights to the death, but you can challenge them to a fight or something of your choosing. If they don't keep up their bargain they're eaten. Of course we could always wait underneath in the forest for some that're leaving though there and ambush them." She adds with a mischievous tone. Okay you might be a bad influence.

The answer is obvious of course a race, just thinking about it sends shutters through your body and sets your blood alight. You find a feline looking Hallow gloating about how fast they are lets put that to the test shall we. "Hey!" You shout out grabbing his attention. "Let's see if you're really as fast you say you are. You, me race. winner takes what they want." He regards you coolly for a moment. "Ha I could beat a brute like you in my sleep! Very well, I'm sure your soul'll go down smooth." You make your way towards a higher area around the top of the interior there is a thin strip of ground running around the entire inside of the plateau. You both pick a starting area and crouch down. A nearby Adjucha notices and acts as a referee. "GO!" You both dash out in quadrupedal stances. He's far in front of you being more used to his body and the stance, but you're gaining on him. This. This is it. What you lived for. The rush is intoxicating the wind whipping past your face your nonexistent heart pounding in your ears. The feeling of your coiling muscles springing forward as you close the gap this was something worth living for. Your blood itself feels like it's on fire as he starts to speed up to noticing you're on him. He jumps forward coming down and crushing the thin path causing it to tumble down to the cave floor. "Fine two can play at that came." You think, as you channel your Reiatsu into your claws. With a quick motion you fling yourself over the side using the soul power in your claws to keep you clinging along the wall. Now catching up to him once more. It's the last lap you see the finish line in the distance. You fling yourself back on the path side by side with the Hollow. You aren't going to make it in time, but you have a ace up your sleeve. As you close in you use Sonído to boost yourself to the finish line. You don't really feel bad about it, it's no different then using nitrous in a drag race.

The Hollow meanwhile stands there dumbfounded. "No! You cheated! You shouldn't know Sonído!" He closes in on you but stops suddenly. The Adjucha is looming over behind you. "You wouldn't be trying to back out of your deal now would you?" The Hollow grumbles and tells you some information. Apparently there was a disaster out in some Mexican city, and there's going to be an influx of souls. A bunch of hollows are going, but most are grouping up since the Ferrymen will likely be waiting for Hollows to show.

Gillians commonly attack in a group, and one is powerful enough to be a challenge for a Lieutenant of the Gotei 13. Gillians typically arrive in the Human World through the use of spatial distortions called Kūmon (空門, lit. "Air Gate").[26]
http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hollow

Not what it says here

>>3007128
I was going from what was shown in series. Also keep in mind they are a challenge for a LT at 1/5th power due to being sealed to keep them from killing living people from sheer presence.

>>3007141
Pretty sure that's captains. But I also wanted to remind you guys it's been over 15 years since the thousand year blood war, so they lost a lot of heavy hitters and the Shinigami have settled back into routine kinda.

>>3007176
No, both lts and captains are sealed. Look at grommjow’s attack. That said Lts threw down and won against adjuchas class arrancar easily, this was shown repeatedly. We’re a long long ducking way from being able to beat one clean.

>>3007128
At the beginning of the series they were. They sure as hell became little more than speedbumps by the time the cast was assaulting Aizen's fortress.

>>3007204
Depends on the specefic Lieutenant though. Plus isn't the generation of captains and lts shown on the show described as complete freaks by normal standards, and that only the very first generation of shinigami captains are considered stronger?

Switching topics for a second, I'm for building up a following but I'd like to focus on quality over quantity this early in if possible. Hunting down a strong one over dominating a small group of normal hollow basically.

Guys I've realized since Ichigo's kid is probably the around the same age as Ichigo was when bleach started. We are basically a bleach boruto villain.

After how close your last run in was, and the fact you had to come here because of it, you decide to ignore the it for now. So to pass the time and try to get some better information you challenge several more Hollows to races. You beat them all handily, but they don't have much interesting to say. The first tells you about a giant gang fight that broke out in Mexico city but you're partial to think that had something to do with what the cat Hollow told you. The second tells you about some rumors he heard about how a bunch of Adjuchas are sick of Harribel and the Arrancars are gathering to try and attack them. The Third is a older Hollow who says he doesn't have any info for you, so instead he tells you some old legends about ancient "super" Hollows who didn't fall into any of the known menos categories. The fourth tells you about a group of European humans that have found a way to bind souls to objects and have been causing trouble for Hollows and Ferrymen alike. After this everyone seems to caught on to your tricks and no one else is willing to race you anymore. You make your way back over to Caprice who's been waiting for you to finish up. "Well shit can't things be easy for once?" You ask.

"That's how life as a Hollow is boss, taking risk and hoping you don't run into the bigger fish." She tells plainly. "Okay just hypothetically, if we gather some Hollows for a group to go check out that disaster where could we find some?" You say exasperated. She hums for a few moments thinking. "Well I'd say you're best bet would be to find some more female Hollows or find a random Hollow to save."

"Weren't you the one who said, and I quote. "Female Hollows are RARE and WEAK" so why would we try to find more of them?"

"Because they're desperate." She says while tapping her mask. "Most would rather eat them, let alone bring them along on a raid like this. So they jump at the opportunity to be useful, and they'll poss less of a threat if they betray you along with being less likely to. This is also why it'd be preferable to save them, if you bullied a Hollow into helping they want to betray you, but if you save one they'd feel like they owe you. Just an Idea though you do you."

It has its perks but you still aren't even sure about going.

You decide to put the disaster on the back burner for now It probably won't be going anywhere, at least in the time for what you want to do. You want to hear more about these "super" Hollows, most laugh you off when you bring them up. But a group of older Hollows is eventually willing to tell you what they know. They sit down and tell it's an old legend so will take sometime. Everyone knew about the basic evolution of Hollows, base, Gillian, Adjucha, then finally Vasto Lorde, but Aizen and Starrk changed that Aizen showed through artificial means that new forms could be achieved, and Starrk showed this could also happen through natural means. It caused many Hollows to recall ancient tales of Hollows like any classes of Menos. Hollows bodies went on for miles, Hollows without even mask fragments, Hollows who's mask became their face. But sadly no one has ever seen these Hollows or at least lived to tell about.

Harem jokes aside, Caprice has a point. Finding hollows that would be desperate to join for the sake of survival seems like a good way to instill loyalty. Hell, Caprice has been helpful so far despite being weak initially. A new member or two would be manageable

Hey man, the existence of our ghost goat penis is a serious issue. What if they kick us in the groin? We've gotta know what we're working with here.

>>3007616
Plus this is Bleach. Fucking Aizen was the secret good guy of the entire series, the Qunicies did nothing wrong, and the Shinigami were so transparently evil that everyone got fooled since it was too obvious to be anything but bad writing instead of them actually being the bad guys.
>>3007767
We didn't bring that up. Caprice did. I'd be concerned she's trying to manipulate us if i thought that was in character.

>>3007767

Harem's aren't exactly an uncommon fetish. Seriously, I don't even know that you can call it a fetish. We're biologically programmed to want to seed our wild oats in as many fertile fields as we can, harems are just the natural conclusion.

Agreed, smart move anon

>>3007785
Aizen was the secret kind of good guy but went so hard on the "the end justify the means" path that the things he does to achieve his goals make him a complete monster in the process
The Quincies and Yhwh end up having a suprisingly noble goal but most of them are also sadist monsters just kind of there for the ride out of fun/loyalty with one of their strongest not even believing Yhwh's goal was actually possible and really just wanted to see change, even if it was just the world burning
Soul Society is practically BBEG and the only reason anyone would ever hesitate to destroy it is because they've wormed themselves so far into the system that getting rid of it would cause such massive damage and catastrophe on the human plane it just wouldn't be worth the effort to replace it for a better afterlife system.
Hollows are just straight up monsters that eat people and yet they somehow ended up being the least bad thing in the whole setting.

You decide you've spent enough time listening to the fanciful tales of old Hollows. You know one thing though there's safety in numbers, if you gathered up some more Hollows maybe the Ferrymen would be less likely to tangle with you. At least you hope so. But why bother with the mexico disaster when you can make your own with a smaller crew.

You spend the next couple of hours. Looking around the place for a female Hollow, you begin to lose hope when you finally find a female Hollow hiding in a corner. You consider talking to her now, but it would be better to rescue her life that way she owed you. You won't have to wait long though you can see the same starving hunger in her eyes that Caprice had when you first met her. She's probably stayed holed up here cause it's safe but has no choice but to hunt now. While you wait for her to leave you get a look at her features. Her Hollow form is a long serpent about the length of two school buses ending in a tail that turns into a razor sharp bone dagger. Her scales are black with a red underbelly. Her mask looks like a viper skull with a row of swept back spikes running down the middle.

Finally she seems on the verge of breaking and burrows underneath the sand to leave for a better place to leave Hueco Mundo. You and Caprice make your way underground to the forest quickly and find her already being chased by five newly formed Hollows. She stops to rear back a white ball forming in her mouth. She quickly snaps down on it creating a blinding flash that barely leaves you enough time to cover your eyes while blinding the others. Uncovering your eyes you find a Hollow lashes out at her only for his claws to go through her like a ghost. Her tail meanwhile buries itself in his chest.

Eh. Aizen was kind of an asshole but the amount of souls/lives/afterlives damned by soul society is so high that he could have nuked Japan and still came out far on top in a numbers game.
He basically killed or tried to kill:
Evil council
Soul eating monsters that upon him killing them will release all of the souls into the afterlife
Soldiers of a tyrannical regime
Subordinate that backstabbed him
Idiot being manipulated by tyrannical regime
City of a few thousand people in order to destroy a tyrannical regime oppressing at least 8+ billion people (assuming western SS branch covers anywhere not in Asia and the amount on Earth is roughly equal to the amount on HM and SS)

>>3008118
Been a while since I read bleach but how did they damn souls, other then the ones they sent to hell.

>>3008118
The issue is everyone he tried to kill was so far removed from the badness that if he ahd SHARED he'd have turned most of them to his cause. The SS were the good guys for so long because no one knew how bad the highest of high of them was, not even Unohana or OMG.

>>3008135
I THINK he was referring to the Soul King, who's basically the Elder God from Legacy of Kane.
>>3008140
This.
Aizen's mistake was in his arrogance, complexity addiction, and willingness to just gleefully murder people who have nothing to do with the cunts he was rebelling against.

>>3008156
But the soul king doesn't eat souls or anything. He's the one who regulates the flow between worlds. Without him everything basically implodes. That's also why quincies were such a problem cause they destroyed the Hollows souls instead of purifying them like the Shinigami.

>>3008054
>Help her she seems useful.

>>3008135
Metaphorical damn instead of literal damn. ( I saw this misunderstanding coming so i really shoudl have known better) The afterlife is a fucking slum worse than shantytowns in Brazil because at least they have the sweet release of death. The nobles can murder anyone they want. Anyone with bright ideas is tortured, imprisoned, or both. Pluses have to wait upon shinigami ferry em to the afterlife in order to not become a hollow but the shinigami don't actually give a shit about that sinc ethey're really just trying to keep thier numbers balanced. This means souls (like ours atm) are only hollows because SS is specifically choosing not to take them into the afterlife that they wouldn't need to get to if it wasn't for SS.
>>3008140
Tousen even did. I think Aizen just didn't trust anyone to not fuck things up. Touzen only qualified because he saw firsthand the guy getting fucked over by nobles so he could trust him somewhat. Most morally good people if they were in SS might do something dumb like ask about it and blow Aizen's cover.
I'm assuming OMG is Captain Oldman and he knew damn well what they are which is why he was contemplating how they're all considered respectable now before he died. Unohana is old enough to know better with her past although I'll give her a benefit of the doubt despite her being one of the elder captains that remembered when Shinigami were just bandits slaughtering innocents whenever they pleased.
>>3008156
There's also all of the unknown ramifications from fucking up the world into 4 realms. Thanks for pointing that out. If it wasn't for burn the witch i'd even say that hollows might not even be able to form since the ghosts would already automatically BE in the afterlife instead of having to manually be ferried there.

>>3008054
>Help her she seems useful.

>>3008178
Hey what's burn the witch and why does it confirm that souls have to be manually taken to the afterlife?

>>3008178
>I'm assuming OMG is Captain Oldman
Yup, sort for Old Man Genocide. To be fair from what I remember he didn't know about the truth about the soul king and thought soul society was worth defending. At the same time, while I like OMG as a character, people need to remember that he's not only been part of the Goati 13 since its founding, he's been its leader and has been part of or known about travesties that would make the holocaust look like child's play, for most of the 13's existence, it has been a genocidal warmachine of unprecedented levrls of violence up until only relatively recently. The captain-commander, looking at all the things he's done in the past, is just as much of a monster as the higher ups and is quite literally, by anyone's definition, worse than hitler.

>>3008192
Kubo made a one shot about witches in London and how they deal with dragons and It was a stealth bleach chapter. London has the western soul society and Eastern soul society(bleach) are known as the eastern barbarians that didn't even domesticate their dragons (Hollows Or at least they obviously look like hollows) The entire one shot basically calls SS in bleach a bunch of nooblords

>>3008200
>is quite literally, by anyone's definition, worse than hitler.
Now I feel the need to point out, in sufficient scale, one can be worse than ol' Uncle Adolf and still qualify as a hero. But it requires a MASSIVE scale, and the only one I can quickly think of is Paul Muad'dib, who freely describes himself as being such.

>>3008210
That actually sounds pretty cool.
Kubo seems like he's not necessarily an awful writer, just one ill-suited to the longform, ongoing storytelling that a shonen fightan manga demands.

>>3008200
I guess it's possible he didn't realize but it would take him being pretty dense about the entire world suddenly being split asunder, somehow leaving some previously unknown douches in charge with obscene amounts of power,a bunch of quincies claiming blood vengeance for SS murdering their leader's father, and so on. He could be that dense but I think he's had more than enough time to reflect upon events to have figured things out. Plus Captain Flowers learned about the soul king once he got his position in the LNs so it's probably knowledge required of the head of the shinigami.
>>3008216
It's surprising how much dumb shit actually turned out to make sense if you dig deep enough. I guess maybe his editors were going in the wrong direction with him slightly? I randomly learned this the other month.

>The Hogyoku was definitely inspired by the Cintamani. Interestingly enough, the Japanese version of that seems to be the Nyoi-Hoju, or just Hoju. Apparently, the kanji for "-ju" and "-gyoku" both mean "jewel", so "Hoju" and "Hogyoku" are practically synonyms. Kubo might have also chosen the term "Hogyoku" as a reference to "Hogyo", a term which traditionally denotes the death of a god/emperor.

>Also, the deity directly connected to the Hoju is called, wait for it, Aizen Myo-o. Aizen Myo-o has a shrine at Kakuonji Temple, in the city of Kamakura. Kamakura used to be the de-facto capital of Japan. Also in Kamakura is the Zuisen-ji, the "funeral temple" of the ancient rulers of Kamakura, who were known as "kubō".

>Tldr; Aizen and his wish-fulfilling sphere, the Hoju, reside in Kamakura, a city formerly ruled by the kubō."

>>3008254
>>3008216
Oh yeah, you've gotta give kubo props for stuff like that. Despite the mess Bleach ends up being in some ways, Kubo definitely knows how to add details and little twists to his story and characters, as well as give double meanings to everything, even stuff like names.

>>3008210
I mange to find an online version of Burn the Witch and can't see why you would think dragons are hollows. They don't really seem to share any major characteristics.

>>3008429
(Assuming I'm not remembering this wrong) They were talking about how Shinigami kill theirs instead of domesticating. What do shinigami kill?

You decide she's got some good skills and could actually be a lot of use to you if used right. You nod to Caprice and rush in while she throws one of her soul balls. A Hollow notices you and shouts. "Hey back off buddy this one's ours!" Before you use Sonído to deliver a hoof to his face. As he's sent flying you calm down and drop into a bipedal fighting stance.

You get a good look at the four. The first is quilled humanoid Hollow. The second reminds you of a raven. The third looks like some sort of eel. The one you just kick looked something like cricket. You're going to need to have a good strategy or hope all three of you can overpower them.

(Roll 1d20 and put in your strategy. Your complete list of powers.)
[Regeneration] - All Hollows regenerate incredibly fast, and won’t die as long they have the Reiatsu to heal wounds, or suffer a incredibly debilitating injury.
[Sonído] - You can move in burst of speed faster then the eye can see. But only in short distances, and it takes a lot out of your.
[Subdermal Armor] - Your skin is stronger then normal.
[Escudo Final] - You may link yourself to a weaker ally and take blows in their place.
[Recuerda] - This hollow can remember its life without destroying itself.
[Cornear] - You channel your Reiatsu into your horns, giving them unnatural strength and toughness. Penetrating those with less Reiatsu easily.
[Pesquisa] - The power to detect, pinpoint, and measure Reiatsu.
[Calcificación] - The user spreads their Reiatsu through their body hardening it momentarily against strikes.

Attempt to draw them into a line by backing up with the two others.

When chasing they will naturally clump together and should then be easier to deal with as getting in each others way causes them to line out.
