What do you think The Royal Realm Arc will be like?

Explain what your thoughts on the next story arc. As well what you think will happen.

I see the Royal Realm Arc being awesome (if they do it right)

For the feeling and mood, it'll probably be somewhere between the Soul Society Arc and the Hueco Mundo Arc. Not as dark and moody as the HM Arc, but more so than the SS Arc. Although, I suspect the final bits are going to be dark, as it most likely IS the finale of our beloved series.

The setting I think well be somewhat similar to the Soul Society, but much more majestic and almost certainly will draw influence from Ancient Japanese castles and shrines. I see things like what you may see at Kyoto being found in the Royal Realm. And the Royal Guard will probably wear red or white uniforms.

And the- oh wait I shouldn't finish that one... may give away too many spoilers for my fan fiction The Winter War...

I agree with everything you said except that I think the series will end on high note. Come on it's shonen not seinen

I'm hoping for a cooled down arc. We've been getting lots of action... I just feel we need an arc arc filled with... STORY. XD But that's just my opinion.
I also hope that the king will be a bishie

Who by any means whatsoever said I wanted a bad ending? I'm agreeing that it'll end on a good note, but when I say DARKER, I'm referring to the finale battle(s). Seriously, Aizen's gonna try (may even succeed) to mind rape Ichigo in the final battle. Maybe another usage of Masaki? Or perhaps a fake vision of Aizen succeeding and all of his friends dying/becoming his slaves. And Gin & Kaname aren't actually going to be innocent while they're fighting.

It'll be dark, but it'll have a good ending.

Baaaaad mental images!!


To me, the darker the better. And honestly, I wouldn't mind having a dark, upsetting ending as well. IMO, as long as it's a strong ending, that grabs the reader's attention, is what matters the most. Also, I want to cry at the ending... I don't care if it's good, bad, depressing, horrifying, etc. I just want to cry. Then I can say Bleach is the first manga to make me cry, lol!

Holy cow, I didn't even answer Alita's question!

What do I think will happen? Hm... I guess I'm a firm believer in thinking that Orihime is either the Royal Key itself, or she belongs to the Royal Family. I'm sure that'd really honk Ichigo off, finding out that his nakama is really more sacred then he thought. (I mean, come on! He treasures all his friends, you know that if he found out one of them was Royal-ish(in a sense), he'd be peeved. XD)
