... so uh. This is the character I said I'd NEVER re-app. This is the character I said was also impossible to re-app (for me, anyway), for ... a number of reasons. Lolz. I got some 'splainin' to do! This is mostly for my own edification, as well as being ... well, a justification for something that I said I would never do. Because "I missed

Hey, uh, the Bleach character book has an actual timeline for everything up through the end of the SS arc. I could summarize and/or scan for you if you'd like? Though it only gives dates up to the beginning of the arc, but there's a timeline given within the manga itself for the rest of the arc....

[ishidork]

-- jeez, you have everything! I would very much love to have some dates to work with. I hate having to speculate on this stuff. D:

Y-yeah I'm almost ashamed to say I actually DO have most everything, so far as manga-version stuff goes. ^_^;; Though I don't have the Vibes reference book yet, because yesasia was out of stock when I ordered it, but uh. ANYWAY. Rather than just like... attempting to translate everything you wanna ping me in IRC and I can just look up the stuff you need?

[ishidork]

Mostly I just need the date (or general time -- month works just fine) for a) when they went to Soul Society, b) when they got back from Soul Society, and c) when they went to Hueco Mundo (if you have it) OR when the Arrancar attacked Karakura for the first time. I'm basically looking for how long it's been between Soul Society and the current chapters.

OKAY. Character book says that the group crossed into Soul Society on August 7, and that's the last actual number given in that timeline. During Ichigo's bankai training, however, Yoruichi gives a timeline of the events in Soul Society: being ahead of schedule for various reasons, the end of the 3-day bankai training would correspond to the 7th or 8th day that they're in Soul Society. I'd lean towards 7th given how close the timing was with Rukia's execution, so that means the execution and all that would've happened on August 14.

I don't recall if there's an actual canon statement for it, but I believe after all this Ichigo and the others spent about one week in Soul Society, meaning they would've gotten home about August 21. They MIGHT have stayed in Soul Society longer, but either way the next plot point we get after that is when school has resumed again, which can presumed to be within the first week of September. (I guess there is some room for the filler arc to be inbetween after all....) Beyond that it gets really
