'Bleach' 652 Manga Spoilers and Predictions: Nanao's Holy Blade
The intense chapter starts with a flashback from a time when Shunsui was young. Deep in his sleep, someone wakes Shunsui up. In what could be a very interesting plot, he wakes up with Nanao's mother in front of him. This makes him and Nanao siblings — if predictions turn out to be true.
Now back to the present, it turns out that the Ise family have had the strangest curse that affects all women in the family — all of their husbands die. While Nanao's mother tried to keep the curse from her family, there's not much she can do since the curse is stronger than a strong familial bond.
To keep Nanao from the wicked curse that took the lives of all the patriarchs in the clan, Nanao's mother handed down something she thinks is the source of all the pain to Shunsui: the Blade of Olympus Hakkyokuken.
Now that Nanao is aware of her lineage's sad past, she will have to get to know the weapon that could either make or break her. While she knows Shunsui is hesitant to pass the blade down to her, she gets his approval by making it a deal that she's more than willing to take the curse upon her — even if it means losing the person she loves.
Nanao is now next in line for a battle against Lille. "Bleach" experts believe that Nanao's strong and exceptional qualities not just as a person but as a fighter as well make her the perfect number 1 contender who could take down Lille. In chapter 652, she will depict a smart foe who is able to find even the tiniest of shadows left from all the shadows Lille has destroyed.
With the Hakkyokuken in hand, Nanao can actually take down Lille. Aside from a brave heart that has allowed her to go this far, she carries the heritage of power that is able to withstand challenging situations such as a bout with Lille.
