Diamond Dust Rebellion

[D - Tetsushiga Mai]

Just a topic for discussion on the upcoming Bleach movie. For those of you that haven't seen the most recent episode, the intro features clips from the new movie, including enticing glimpses of the antagonists. I must say myself, they look pretty damn cool, how do they come up with the ideas, i just dont know... but they manage to get cooler and cooler as opposed to stale... Bleach obviously still has a lot of life left in it.
On the down side... it was just under a year after MoN was released that it was translated, and i expect it to be a similar wait fo DDR.
Cool name btw, sounds like something from Trigun...
So any thoughts from anybody?

Total agreeance with the Trigun thing >.>

Considering the english translation of the full title ends with "Another Hyôrinmaru" and an "old rival" of Hitsugaya's shows up, I'm willing to bet that he is probably the main bad guy and wields a Fire Dragon Zanpakuto, opposite to Toshio's Ice.

Of course, this is pretty guessable, but I just wanted to state it lol

i'll try and get some screenshots of them from the episode and get them posted they really are THAT cool looking.

[D - Tetsushiga Mai]

nope didnt work... argh
Looks however like theres only three bad guys this time, identical twin girls, ones red themed the otheres blue, and the main dude himself, who may or may not be Vaizard, he has a kick ass mask, but then i guess so did Ashido until we were properly introduced to him.

All 3 of the "bad guys" seem to be Vaizards or the two girls are just Arrancar. But if you look closely at the opening you see Hitsugaya being pierced with ice so I say it is safe to assume the main "bad guy" has an ice based Zanpakuto. I think it makes more sense too since Hyounimaru is supposed to be the strongest iced-based Zanpakuto in Soul Society so a rival would be maybe a possible stronger Ice Zanpakuto instead of Fire which would lead to a pretty boring fight.

He was a friend and rival of Hitsugaya, thought to be dead ..

Fire vs Ice may be boring in concept, but I've yet to see an elemental fight be truly boring. Plus Rivals tend to be paradoxes (Opposite, but Similar), so a Fire Dragon would fit that best. I will admit though, there are just as high chances that it is Ice, I just think that Fire would be a better cause for rivalry and stuff lol

Plus, just because Hitsugaya gets pierced with Ice doesn't mean that the Enemy USES Ice, maybe they turned one of his attacks against him? lol

God I do hope they are Vizards though...I want to see more of them >.< lol

[D - Tetsushiga Mai]

when he gets pierced by ice at the beginnig, do u mean the bit where he's falling fowards with a large white cylinder through him? I thought that looked more like some kind of Demon arts attack...

[Angelo]

*Shrugs* I honestly don't know lol

I have DialUp so I haven't seen the scene we're talking about from first hand experience.

The bad guy looks a little like Byakuya... Someone's taking too long in either uploading or translating, because I've seen blogs by people who've seen it. I want to see it.

[Zhiel]

way to go in ressurecting a almost four month topic But either way, I'm prety sure it hasnt been released outside of theaters yet, else subbers like Dattebayo would probably have subbed it by now.

[fatehasu]

Er, sorry. I didn't realize... Forget I even said anything.
