so confused with the possibilities; but I like where this is going. regular pace chapter. an evolution, an explaination, further foreshadowing, and a revelation. In not 10, not 5, but 1 Bleach chapter!
good stuff. bring on next week. Atleast there isn't a wait.

Lol at Ichigo's fullbring. I really don't like how it looks. Was wondering though if the shinigami we didn't see was also Tsukishima, which would explain the basis for which it is believe that a shinigami with fullbring surpasses shinigami.
And didn't his existence as a Vaizard already do that, or was that filler.
it did, but this is shonen manga so the hero always has to surpass what he already was, then several more times after that, but kubo got a little lazy with the explatation i guess, you'd think his vizard powers would make a difference durring the training, or maybe it did and kubo's just taking his sweet time with it. BTW, i hate to actually say this, but it's vizard, not vaizard or visado or whatever crap viz came up with, vizard is actually an english word meaning mask, and kubo already used spanish for stuff so i'm pretty sute it was intentional. *sighs* remember when bleach was good and stuff actually seemed to mean something?

Best chapter in a while. The plot was good, the twist was done well, and you could practically feel ichigo's heart racing with his eyes going wild.

agreed. At first even I was kinda confused. Was Tsukishima really Ichigo's distant relative? or are we beginning to see a little bit of tsukishima's fullbring?
It's been a while since Bleach had an unexpected twist to the story. It usually ichigo getting power ups, power ups and guess what... more power ups.
But still, I still enjoy reading Bleach.

No, no, according to Ichigo everyone's been mind raped and in fact it has been eluded to that he had this power ever since he cut Orihime (surprising foreshadowing in bleach). Although unexpected I feel like I've read this before somewhere so while I'm pretty impressed I'm not feeling all that amazed right now. It all depends on where he leads us now, actually I'm really looking forward to the next chap.
Offline
Yep, first truly good Bleach chapter in a while! I'm glad Kubo can manage to please us at least once every six months.
Offline
it makes you almost think that he built up for this. But who purposefully drops their series' ratings that much just to build up? idk, but I'm not complaining.

Offline
Hay, although the pacing is dropping a bit it was an ok chap. Showing Ushida during the chapter reminds me that he's the only person attacked by tsukishima who suffered a physical wound so he may have been immune to mind rape powers.
Offline
who the hell smiles after hav--nevermind I just realized orihime will heal it. Fucking aye. Well to hell with it. Ichigo can nonlethally take them out, or can take out chad enough not to kill him and do the same to orihime, so that later she can heal it (or w/e).... regardless, there's a lot of potential to ignore all of this and for him to just own the situation, especially with that speed.
but what else?
Well there's sandal hat and dad-guy.
annnnd, there's bow and arrow
so because those characters are being secretive and not in the story so far, this climax, in my opinion, will probably last 10 chapters or more from the plot twists that will come up in the in-story scope of maybe half an hour.
instead of one epic chapter, it will be a lot of 6-7 out of 10 (rated) chapters.

Offline
Now that's twistedly better for Bleach. Two chapters that are good in a row.
Offline
Agreed. This is now starting to boil down into something good; bleach cooks slow, man.

Offline
Wow did I just get mind rape by bleach? I remember when ishida got attacked I thoght it was ginjo, but when tsukishima appeared I assumed it was him even though the one I remembered it being ginjo (I don't think he showed the face) anyway ginjo seems like a good guy and then this happens. Holy shit good job kubo.
Offline
lol if you didn't see this coming you've never read bleach, or you just missed the ch that Ushida got attacked in. i love how he hasn't told us who the shinigami his dad and urahara meet, but then thats asking too much, granted he did have foreshadowing all be it baddy done but foreshadowing none the less i think it would kill him to follow up on anything in a timely manner. last i checked bleach was ranked 14th [Jump #33] granted this was two weeks ago but i cant see it getting much higher than say 10 this week, that's being kind too.

When this arc started, I hated it. It's probably my favorite now, since its so well contained and moves quickly.

I still think Ichigo's fullbring is stupid.

Eh, it fits him; pure speed or whatever....... actually, what the hell. Everyone gets an insanely excessive ability and ichigo? Oh ichigo gets..... to be fast? Jesus. Maybe his ability is simply regaining his powers, aka his ability IS his powers.
I wonder if there's enough of a difference, now, since this is the first time ichigo fights in his actual body and not in spirit form.

If it's anything like the "pure speed" from his bankai it will stop existing at all as an advantage immediately after this first fight with it, anyway.

Can he please just learn one other move? No matter what form he takes its always getsuga tenshou. Wait... no, I'm lying he also had that black cero and the"final" getsuga tenshou. I was hoping with new powers he'd rip out one new move but...
Offline
black cero? He can't do that in his regular psyche. The only other move he learned was final getsuga.
Nice insight. Ichigo has only one ability, and his upgrades always only affect his speed and power.

Offline
When he transformed into that second hollow mask form and destroyed Ulquiorra (is that how you spell it) so yeah he isn't conscious of it, but I believe they said his getsuga in bankai highly resembles the cero used only by the number four and higher espada. And on another sour note we only get to see that cero once, unless the one's the primera was throwing around were the same thing, but they didn't seem to be in the anime so...
Actually he's far better than what I give him credit for, when he surrounded the getsuga over his sword when he first started fighting Ulquiorra(still don't think that's right) I thought that was pretty good. But beyond that yeah, just faster n stronger. Even Goku learned quite a few supplemental moves in spite of generally relying on the Kame Hame Ha for a finishing move.
Lastly it was mentioned when they introduced the Fullbring that the power resembled, for each of them, a hollow that attacked their mother while they were in the womb. So then I wonder why his shinigami power is so similar, does it mean that a person's spiritual makeup is the same whether they are hollow or shinigami? In that case if, Old man Yamamoto, turned into a hollow somehow he'd have the power to burn things to ash. Ahh, then that explains Tousen's ugly bug form when he put on his hollow mask... okay, now I'm rambling...
Offline
I didn't mean I didn't like his powers. I think his Lone Sentai Bone-Ranger costume is terrible. Plus the line "You will gain a power transcending the shinigami" really bothered me, because his last twenty upgrades were exactly that. I don't even remember what the shinigami do.
Oh well. At least the swastikas are gone.

Ok, credit where credit is due: having Ginjo turn out to be a bad guy as well was a pretty cool plot twist. Let's hope Kubo doesn't somehow screw this up now.

You serious? Predictable unecessary plot twist no.2541 where friends become enemy's and no doubt an enemy' will become a friend!
Actually aizen probably raped you with his bankai in the effort to keep you reading so kubo's shite manga can continue long enough to be released from prison!
(coz we all know bleach will continue for at least 20,000 years as kubo has no idea how to write a cohesive plot)

I think we're all a little relaxed with our expectations right now. The bad guy could turn out to be Kon and we'd all shit ourselves.
Offline
Frankly; it wasn't as predictable as it's being made out to seem. It really set up, slowly, some trust for the character, so it was very out of left field as we concentrated on the Book of End ability.

Offline
Lmao , Frankly it was as predictable if not more so than your posting in this thread being nearly always and only defensive of bleach lol
