'Bleach 657' predictions on the "God of Thunder" are focused on Askin including his powers. While Gerard goes on with his rampage through his godly-sized form, Askin gets worried about Ichigo who just fell into his trap.  

As Orihime and Chad and Orihime have fallen as well in a Poison Pool, Yoruichi suddenly appeared to battle against Askin. She then catches the Quincy Reishi projectiles of Askin barehanded and then decides to use the War Form of God of Thunder to finish Askin while the Chapter ends.

In 'Bleach 657' predictions, as discussed in the Reddit forum, a user noted that it was nice to watch Kubo write in Ichigo to briefly pause for this part in order for the other characters to have some chance to shine. Putting Ichigo in a role of a hero in distress, was considered a new development as far as readers are concerned, in addition to the fact that the move will give more chance for other characters to display their abilities.

According to a user named "Aethos," Askin's transformation is very possible, but wished that it should have been more human form, to suit Askin and set him aside from other SS who have no real forms.  

Another Mangahelpers user named "kkck" noted an anatomical recommendation. The user appears to be amazed at the fact that Gerard becomes the soul king's heart and points out that it is irrational at the moment. Furthermore, the user also noted that Askin could be the next left testicle of the soul king and would later kill the entire world with his grossness.

'Bleach 657' predictions imply that Askin could be killed off by Yoruichi although a lot of readers do not seem to share the same opinion. However, the readers' strong reaction for her gave way to some rumors that she should become the protagonist, Yibada wrote.
