"The mysterious transfer student. Why am I not even surprised? Well we've already got a few Soul Reapers and a Quincy, so I'm going to guess you're one of those mystery dudes with Hollow powers Urahara told me about."

I personally think we should avoid that power set for now. We don't want to piss off our sword.
Hollow seems very good right now, but we don't know shit about it. Lets wait a little while before we point dump.

We don't know the consequences and everyone we've talked to about it so far pisses their pants at that mask. Something's not on the up and up with it and we need to sort it out. We have a loaded gun in our face and right now we might as well be a chimp with a hammer. It will not end well.

Personally I'd rather have the 201 in control, but whatever. It lets us rank up in two skills.

>>25688466
The second option.

Fuck Control, lets feed our inner beast! It can only end well.

>>25688466

>>25688466
>Spend 200 experience on Hollow powers, 99 experience on Swordsmanship, and 201 on Quincy.

>>25688466
The first one.

Rolled 3

>>25688514
Yes because that hollow's story made such perfect sense and there was no reason to suspect he was lying.

>>25688518
We won't be leveling Quincy right here, in any case. At least for control, we'll level it for sure.

So the majority seems to want the second one right?

>>25688548
Yes.

>>25688531
But we need Quincy powers so we can launch Zangetsu out of a bow, thereby creating some unholy fusion attack that will destroy all before us.

...Thinking about it, the second (----) is probably Fullbringing.

>>25688559
Nope, you haven't unlocked that yet.

>>25688533
We don't know anything about Hueco Mundo and how it functions and it's insane to not at least entertain the thought that she might still be "alive" in some capacity. We owed it to her to at least hear him out a little longer and play with the idea of a rescue.

>>25688557
but we can't level it now. early game, we need levels

>>25688573
So did you change the fact that the old man is quincy powers or is he just dicking us around?

Even if he was telling the truth, if he found her interesting enough to keep her around for six years, he sure as fuck wouldn't lead us to her.

We can just find a hollow and threaten them into making a portal to Hueco Mundo and following them through, if Urahara and Isshin think there's even a vague chance that Grand Fisher's story checks out.

>>25688430
I really hope that's the case. The last thing I want to do is see us go godmode and then have the series promptly end.

>>25688574
If we didn't kill him, Ishida would.

And Grand Fisher would get away while we tried to stop Ishida.

>>25688574
There was zero chance, even if he was telling the truth, that he would actually help. We can do it later on, we're bound to get there eventually.

>>25688548
No. You'll only level 2 skills, instead of 3 like the first one.

I'm ok with this and dumping the rest into Hollow.
We've already screwed up this kids life enough, might as well go full tilt. "Know Thy Enemy" and all that.

Does experience distribution even need IC? It's not like people consciously do that.

This.

We're going to level all those things eventually, so we may as well do it now rather than dumping points into something we can't actually rank up right now.

Save the expensive stuff for when our basic skills are high enough to avoid us getting pasted.

>>25688645
... I seriously can't be the only one who does... can I?

>>25688637
Ya, I'd really like to sit around and chew the fat, have the world built up and see what new threads unfold now that we're almost completely off the rails of the animu and mango.

>>25688649
Is one of those cero?

>>25688649
Makes sense that we'd up our swordsmanship and hollow powers given that those are the things we've learned recently.

Now on with the quest.

>>25688645
No, it does not

>>25688277
I want to change my experience spending to:
Spend 200 experience on Hollow powers, 99 experience on Swordsmanship, 111 on {------}, and 90 on Control/Sixth Sense/Quincy/Whatever.

>>25688675
They're also the only things we've noticed to be worthwhile. I mean the hollow powers just saved the entire town like 3 times in one day.

>>25688681
Shit, too late.

>>25688679
Thanks, that's been driving me crazy.

>>25688649
Based on the number of letters...

{------} = Shunpo (89/200 from Kitty Cat training)
{----} = Kido
{----} = Cero

No idea what the last two might be. Also acknowledging that Cos might be pulling a fast one here and the number of blank spaces don't actually mean anything.

>>25688649
So
>{------} - are currently at 89 out of 200 for this Rank of (------) (Speed)

We'll just stab him again. Hell, if he comes back we won't even have to feel guilty this time since that proves he doesn't die when we kill him.

>>25688707
Unless, of course, one of those {----} options stands for {KUBO}. If we level it, 2s and 19s will become crits as well.

But at least the additional Hollow skills will contribute to this line of questioning from the last thread...

>"I just defeated a HUGE Hollow that can somehow open a portal to their world thanks to the help from my Hollow side."

>"I'll only stick around long enough to use my spirit detection senses, then come back immediately."

Just something to broach to Urahara when we get to speak with him.

Daily reminder that we still need to seduce sharktits and her posse.

I'm all for putting points in for hollow and swordsmanship; considering the amount of ass we just got through kicking, it's only natural, right?

>>25688859
Aizen was Kubo's avatar. Either that or he was just winging it.

"In retrospect, I really should have been more suspicious of the mysterious transfer student."


You stare at Shinji, surprised, but honestly after tonight, you really shouldn’t be as he doubles over, laughing.

Brushing him out of the way, you walk into the shop and see Orihime sitting at the table with Yoruichi on her lap next your family. The mod soul is on her shoulder in Golzilla plush form. Nearby are Chad and Urahara. To the side, you see Tessai to the side with two kids, one of which was the girl you saw the other night. Ishida stands awkwardly in the corner.

You hear Shinji close the door behind you as he walks forward, clapping his hands.

“So, sounds like you’ve had a busy night, Ichigo. Mind filling us in on what’s been going on?”

Everyone looks expectantly at you.

In all honesty, I think we MIGHT swing two if we're careful/smart. I don't think a full Harem thing would work out for us in the end.

I really hope people stop voting for the Hollow chick or something equally absurd. We already have a solid shot with two of the best and Orihime's practically a lock as long as we don't do anything COMPLETELY RETARDED.

>>25689070
Strictly speaking, we put Orihime on hold.

If Rukia becomes a non-option, we still have a chance with Orihime and Tatsuki (We need more Tatsuki in this story).

>>25689090
never mind, I missed them in the description.

Truth.

We beat our own hollow.

Take dad to the side and privately tell him about the Fisher.

>>25689070

>booted Orihime

We asked for some space because the universe was kicking our ass and sanity.

That's not a 'fuck off'.

If it was, our sword would have killed us.

>>25689090
Ichigo's family IS there. Work on your reading comprehension.

>>25689105
oh Kubo, don kanonji's showing up soon, isn't he?

>>25688919
It's not a harem, it's a eugenics program.
Hell, if Rukia doesn't want us boning other women we can just go the artificial insemination route, but we WILL flood this setting with overpowered genetic freaks.

>>25689113
I honestly feel that we have a chance with hollow chick. She hates Aizen and we're part hollow.

Holy shit, we got hollow powers before fucking Don Kanonje showed up.

>>25689122

Personally, I'm aiming for some combination of Orihime/Tatsuki/Rukia.

I doubt we'll get all three (although I have no qualms about trying, as long as we don't do so in a way that alienates any/all of them).

I'd be supremely pleased with any two of them, but I'd be fine with one.

>>25689160

>Take dad to the side and privately tell him about the Fisher.
"Hey dad..."
"Hm?"
"Wanna do something really stupid?"

>>25689181
Well technically Ichigo did that in the manga too.

So, the Don's at least a week away or our family would be talking about it.

I vote we spend the time between then and now training and fighting the mob.

We have flirted with Rukia on a whim thanks to dice. We don't really know anything about her so if she ever shows back up how about we take some time to get to know her a little better, at the very least since she's our Soul Society contact. Orihime's pretty different here and Rukia might be to. Hell she might be one of the ones that defects with Aizen (if he does) for all we know. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

So regarding the truth, should we say something like Urahara being half-right when he suggested we had dual-spirits, since our inner hollow said he was also Zangetsu, and acted like it, since he taught us a sword beam.

>>25689187
That's a good idea, but we need help (read as: low leveled friends to power level).

>>25689227
This. We should hold off on the mom stuff until they visit the grave. If Fisher wasn't lying(1% chance) then she survived 6 years, I doubt a few more days will matter.

>>25689259
That's not certain. If she was Fisher's prisoner, she may have been safe from other hollows.

...She wouldn't be now.

>>25689259
I think we should do it today, but just in front of Isshin and Urahara.

Everyone else doesn't need to deal with that baggage.

>>25689160

"You're able to see me, so that makes you a somewhat gifted human, but your combat abilities are still completely shit when you really need it.

I like this. Ichigo should have actually talked to her more in-show too, rather than mid-fight banter

I probably could, but I swear to god I just saw a Rukia/Tatsuki/Orihime threesome manga last night after the thread died, and I'm trying to find it again.

>>25689304
Doesn't really help that, much like Yu Yu Hakusho, the entire first YEAR or so of the manga (weekly series remember, so fifty-odd chapters) was episodic stuff with 15 and Botan running around being Japanese Samurai Ghostbusters, and the anime only adapted the chapters that build towards later events, at the cost of a lot of little stuff.

>>25689336
Cosgrove wouldn't do that. Come on. that isn't even Kubo, it's just retarded.

>>25689356
but we can fix it. 'Tis a sacred task from Kubo himself

>>25689356
Oh yeah, didn't Yusuke help a boxer and dress up as some fat old chick?

>>25689364
Just about everything Kubo has done as a "twist" save Ichigos true spirit sword has been pretty retarded, he just eludes to his retardation.

>[X]What the hell
>[X]The Truth

“Firstly, might I ask what the hell is going on here?!”

You take a deep breath, first, to try to calm down. It helps.

“Can I ask a few questions first?”

Without giving time for any answers you look at Orihime. You give her a smile and then Chad a nod. “I’m actually surprised to see you both here. I assume that’s why I couldn’t sense you? Either way, good to see you‘re both safe.”

You point at the mod soul on Orihime’s shoulder. “That’s my sidekick, when he’s not standing in for me, he’s Godzilla, but he‘s yet to choose a name.”

Turing to the side you look at Shinji. “Shinji, what manner of spiritual person might you be?”

You see everyone looking at you baffled before you shake your head. “Honestly? That’s what I feel like right now. I’ll tell the truth, but it’ll take a bit so don‘t interrupt me.”

You begin retelling the night’s events as thoroughly as you can. As you recall the events with Ishida, you see him seem to curl into himself until you reveal what happens after the hollow bait was broken, how you went into your own mindscape and fought your own hollow.

As you finish with that encounter, you see Shinji give out a speculative noise, looking at you more closely, but he doesn’t seem to interrupt you. As you begin to wrap up your story, explaining your mask, the menos, you finally give details of what happened with the Grand Fisher.

When you finish, Urahara raises his hand to interrupt. “Excuse me, Ichigo, you said she was safe from hollows according to the Grand Fisher?”

>>25689440
He lowers his hat. “If he was telling the truth, it might not be the case anymore. Isshin’s powers were bound to keep the hollowification of Masaki from occurring. If your hollow was being held back by it, its possible that protection disappeared the moment your hollow became active.”

He then shrugs. “But its also highly possibly he’s lying, too. She very well might have been gone for years now.”

Urahara draws silent as your sisters and Isshin have unreadable expressions on their faces. Orihime is looking at you with what looks to be worry. Ishida is standing in the corner, his fists clenched, biting his lower lip and looking indecisive. Shinji seems to be keeping quiet, looking at you.

You…

>>25689504
Oh, right, forgot she already had a hollow. I apologize for implying you were asspulling.

>>25689447
Talk to family.

Say that we knew two things.

One, even if Grand Fisher really had her, there's no way he'd lead us to her if he liked her that much.

Two, Ishida was right behind us, and we couldn't stop him from shooting Grand Fisher and prevent Grand Fisher from escaping at the same time.

Ask them if they think we should go to Hueco Mundo and seek her out, since if Grand Fisher could take her to whatever Hueco Mundo is, it stands to reason that we could coerce a hollow into doing the same for us.

>>25689499
More that "Pure blooded Quincy" and "Karakura Town" is a rare combination.

>going to Hueco Mundo now
Better hope ImprovAizen is the real Aizen, cus otherwise his plan is absolutely obliterated.

>>25689447
You know, if that seal really could have made Masaki unable to be eaten by hollows, Urahara really really should have told that to somebody.

>>25689551
Whatever casusoul reaper.

>>25689447
>He lowers his hat. “If he was telling the truth, it might not be the case anymore. Isshin’s powers were bound to keep the hollowification of Masaki from occurring. If your hollow was being held back by it, its possible that protection disappeared the moment your hollow became active.”
My gut dropped out at this. RP you are giving me the feels for fictional characters... feels good.

>>25689552
We're still way too weak to deal with any Adjuchas, much less Arrancar and Vasto Lordes.

>>25689505
Correction. Remove >[ ] Talk to Shinji from this list because we still don't know what he is.

>>25689552
>"Oh god how did we get here Gin? I'm not good with that Kindo shit..."
>Gin constantly rubbing his temples for having to deal with this shit

I'm just gonna put this out here, it's not IC, but still: there's no way a more powerful hollow, or Aizen himself wouldn't have noticed her earlier. Especially considering that Masaki was a huge part of his plan. Fisher was totally full of shit. Or Cos is actually going down the improvaizen route.

>>25689578
This; by a stroke of luck we took down a Grande. An Arrancar would treat us like a used tampon.

>>25689578
Dude, we have the support of the Vizards and 2 former captains. I think we'll survive. Plus if worst comes to pass, Hichigo will take over and go full kill mode.

>>25689598
Well yeah.

Hollows have really keen senses for detecting souls.

If Grand Fisher found her a novelty, it stands to reason other hollows would as well.

>>25689447
>Talk to Family for advice
>Still figure out what the fuck Shinji is doing here
>Glance at Orihimes tits.
Boom Bam Done.

>>25689608
>stroke of luck
We killed that menos easy as shit because we have Hollow Powers. Hollow Powers are pretty much equal to bankai.

>>25689598
>improvaizen is the bleach version of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret

>>25689642
I don't think they are yet.

I really hope we're not at the level where we can just steamroll powerful opponents.

>>25689447
[]Talk to Family

See what Isshin's take on the issue is. Comfort little sisters.

[]Talk to Urahara
We need to try finding her anyway. Her Hollow infection may have been transferred to us, rather than remaining within her. Worst case scenario, she is hollowfied, and we either purify her soul or see about getting her to pull her mask off.

Arrancar Masaki is still Masakik after all.

>>25689642
So, we're following the Lloyd Irving school of combat and philosophy?
>If one sword does one hundred damage, if I have two swords, I'll do two hundred damage!
>does 200 damage with each swing of one sword
replace sword with bankai.

>>25689655
Considering we have every person we need to train us for both Hollow powers and Bankai, we'll be there soon anyways. But Aizen and Fullbring people would still be a challenge.

>>25689658
>Arrancar Masaki is still Masakik after all.
Yeah, but you have to consume a LOT of souls before you come close to being able to go Arrancar.

>>25689672
Wait, what?

>>25689658
I think worst case scenario is she got eaten by another random hollow.

Or soul suicide happened.

>>25689688
Really? I know that it's usually Adjuchas and such, but is there any reason a standard Hollow can't do it?

I mean, they'll be pretty much useless in a fight, but they'll at least get the pseudo-human appearance and sanity...I think.

I don't believe it's ever addressed in canon.

>>25689688
No, you have to consume tons of souls before becoming Vasta Lorde. You can become a hollow with nothing but Aizen and a Hoguyoku.

>>25689711
Orihime's brother came close, but he was still just a hollow.

Plus we have no idea what Arrancar are.

>>25689711

Why not just purify her, grab her out of Soul Society, and stick her in one of Urahara's Gigai?

>>25689689
We're going to have two bankai, following your logic of mask=bankai.

Thus, I propose we follow Lloyd Irving's example from TOS, and double the massive damage through idiocy and a refusal to adhere to reality.

>>25689729
Why not give her half our shinigami powers?

>>25689711
grand fisher was one in cannon. It seems he used normal hollows for experiments on occasion.

>>25689734
Sounds good. Just one question, who is Lloyd Irving?

>>25689720
Well, you have a point about our IC knowledge.

I just remembered, however, that Grand Fisher was still a standard hollow when he got Hogyokued, so it *is* is possible.

Orihime's brother was demasked by Ichigo, not himself. That's why he stayed Hollow.

>>25689742

Also plausible.

>>25689729
Soul society is a fuck-huge place to try to look for someone even if you can sense them

So we agree on talking with the family?

>>25689729
I think purification causes memory loss. That could be...awkward.

>>25689765
>>25689729
Don't you lose your memories from the world of the living when you enter the Soul Society?

>>25689765
And aren't they supposed to lose memories of their former life or something like that once sent there?

>>25689779
Yeah.

Damnit, I don't recall Cosgrove ever saying that full kubo mode can change the past before now.

>>25689792
>>25689790
>>25689788
That bird still remembered Chad didn't he?

They just lose memories of being a hollow.

>>25689795
It's Full Kubo. Retcons are always an option.

>>25689788
It doesn't. Memory loss happens in soul society over the course of decades.

>>25689795
Last thread he says FULL KUBO can change a lot of things. And since we're already 90% off the rails, the sky is the limit. Anything can change and warp. Metagaming is going to be near impossible.

>>25689805
But Kubo never retconned anything. He planned it this way all along.

Ichigo is presented with the possibility that his mother is still around. Zangetsu said to live in the present. As far as we know, Aizen hasn't made a move against us yet.

Family is important. Get stronger, find mom, drag Uryuu with us because after tonight he owes us. Also.

"Ishida, for tonight's bullshit mountain, I am going to punch you in the face as hard as I can. Not now, but someday. I will hold it over you until the perfect opportunity, some might call that petty, but that bs with the hollow bait is the most irresponsible thing I have ever scene."

>>25689790
Eventually, parakeet boy remembered Chad but would have eventually forgotten him

>>25689805
That was never established until when we fought Grand Fisher.

Really hope that the Rescue Masaki arc won't automatically end in tragedy because Cos thinks we were metagaming.

>>25689820
No, he just retconned your memories

You did, after all, watch the episode where Aizen released Kyoka Suigetsu.

...that aside, you have a point.

You know what would be a fun quest? Gintama. You could do all kinds of crazy stupid shit and stay in character. Plus there's no crazy power ups or anything and meta-gaming isn't much help.

>>25689822
Oh yeah, Zangetsu did say that it was important to move forward instead of drowning in the past.

>>25689841
Cos is literally pushing us into doing this, and considering all the retcons, metagaming is not an option in that arc.

Seriously though, Ichigo sat with the guilt that he killed his mother for so long, that is gone and there is a slim chance she is alive and trapped in a bad place. Time to rend heaven and earth to make our family whole...

>>25689884
No I mean I hope that, if it is true, we've just potentially made things a lot more difficult for us to find her, and not flat-out impossible with our family hating us forever because he wants to punish us for not picking up on his plot-thread.

I've seen it happen before.

>>25689871
>>25689822
We also made a vow to protect everyone. Her death might be in the past, but in the present we have been presented with an opportunity to undo out misteak. She died because of us and even if there's a slim chance she's still out there, trapped and suffering because of us... we need to do the right thing.

also yfw this 404s due to thread count before archival and or we have to go to thread #2

>>25689935
Still assravaged over love-is-like-a-truck?

>>25689314
As great as the quest is, some of the best bits come from people fucking around between updates.

>>25689935
Something like "By the time we find her, she hollowfied and somehow rocketed up the ladder to Adjuchas or even Vasto Lorde".

>>25690009
What.

>I am not so much a dick as to give you plot threads and then completely fuck you over because of a plot thread you didn't take.

>>25690009
That was what I was thinking of, but wasn't going to break it up because the dude apologized and took it back, seemed like he was in a rough spot at the time, and feels unfair to hang that over his head.

>>25690019
ImprovAizen is awesome. As is the Don Kanonje plans.

>>25690043
Oh good.

Hueco Mundo awaits.

Time to fiesta.

>>25689935
Besides, we would have failed the roll anyway.

I can see it:

You glare menacingly at the hollow, trying to determine if it's telling the truth or not.

>1

It flinches violently from your glare, and you decide that it must be lying. Your mother is dead, and there's no hope of changing that.

Zangetsu swings down in an instant, and the hollow vanishes from your sight.
--------------
Seriously, at least we think she might be alive this way.

>>25690030
Don't worry about it.

>>25689967
I think he baited a good plot worm on the hook, but we couldn't trust the NPC giving it. Either we find Masaki, or we waste time running about the desert with team awesome.

Also, if memory serves, Fisher became an Arrancar without the orb, same with many of the lower numbers. There were hollow experiment groups in HC.

Ask our classmates what they think of this entire situation after we powwow with the fam.

>[ ]Talk to family
>[ ] Talk to Urahara

You look at your family, before walking close and enveloping your sisters in a hug. “I’m sorry.”

You feel Karin tense up as Yuzu clings to you. “I had to do what I thought was right. There’s no was no way to tell if he was telling the truth and I couldn’t allow him to create any more victims.”

You feel them crying, even Karin, who hadn’t cried since that day.

You refuse to look in your father’s direction, ashamed. If he were to hate you, you’d probably deserve it. It was you fault in the first place. If you hasn’t gone after that ghost…

“That’s enough of that, Ichigo.”

You feel you and your sisters engulfed in the strong arms of your father. “I don’t blame you, nor would Masaki. If I met her again and she found out, I don’t think she’d ever be able to forgive me. Nor would I.”

He lets go, as you rub at your eyes. You look down at your sisters, who nod their heads. Yuzu still has yet to leg go. “…I never blamed you, Ichi-nii, not even once…”

She wipes at her eyes and lets go. You close your eyes, recalling your mother and how she was always smiling. How she would always be there for you, smiling…

Taking a shuddering breath to calm yourself you look up at Urahara.

“Is there anyway we can check the hollow’s story. Like open up a portal to Hueco Mundo and take a quick look around?”

Urahara opens his fan, but there’s no humor.

“Is it possible? Yes, but it would take time for me to figure something out. There’s be no guarantee it would work or that there would be a way back.”

He then gestures at Shinji. “Also, as I said I would try to get them in contact with you, please meet one of my old associates, former captain of the fifth division Hirako Shinji. But it seems you’ve already met.”

Shinji waves his hand.

“How’s it going?”
