[Bleach] Chapter 500 - Who Killed Kirge Opie?

Bleach 500 Chapter has asked some unanswerable questions. The first of which is Who Killed Kirge Opie? The end of Bleach 500 revealed that Kirge Opie was literally cut in half when this mysterious person sliced him up. It’s still not confirmed if Kirge is dead yet, but after such a horrific injury it’s unlikely he will not be back.

The above images show that this person would have had to be incredibly powerful in order to even get close to Kirge like he did. This seems like it was an attack from the back, so it’s somewhat unfair on Kirge.

Some people suspect it’s Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, the reason being due to the fact that he is still alive and was not killed by Ichigo. Plus since he was the 6th Espada he would have had to be terrifically powerful, thus proving the large attack on Kirge splitting him apart.

Grimmjow isn’t the only suspect, there is also Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, she was the one who warned Ichigo about the attack on Hueco Mundo. She was the 3rd Espada who had to be even more powerful than Grimmjow. Her adult form has an enhanced Speed and strength giving her the ability to quickly attack Kirge and place her sword on Urahara. The only reason I can come up with Nelliel placing her sword on Urahara is that she saw Urahara do nothing but play on his computer while both Orihime and Chad fight to protect Ichigo, it seemed to her that he was doing nothing.

Other people believe that it may Gin as he may still be alive due to the fact that Matsumoto did not fully explain if he was dead or alive. The fact that Gin can open the Garganta and cross through them into Hueco Mundo can be explained here. Plus Gin is incredibly fast with his sword and could have killed Kirge when ever. We also see that Urahara is not scared, but in fact shocked because I’m pretty sure that he knows this person!

There are also those who believe that it’s Aizen. Aizen is one very powerful Shinigami who could do this type of damage, he’s also very quick and has his Bankai for complete hypnosis. Aizen has his reasons for pointing his sword at Urahara mostly because Urahara put him away to Jail, but if Aizen comes back here, it would mean he escaped.

There are others who even believe that it may have been another Quincy who is even more powerful than Kirge Opie. The fact that Kirge went so far to stop Ichigo and his friends proved to this other Quincy that he’s a weak one who needed to show so much of his power in order to trap Ichigo.

There are many others you could say that it could be, but currently I personally think that it’s Nelliel due to the fact that she’s there and could have easily transformed into her Adult Form and kill Kirge Opie.

Who do you think killed Kirge Opie?
