I'm fairly sure the only logic to shinigami aging is "as fast or slow as Kubo randomly wishes according to when he feels like doing a character design change."

Yaaaay Renji can actually fight now without going immediate Bankai, or even Shikai...yet.

Well when Kubo decided to keep Bleach going after the whole Aizen ordeal, people including me were saying he would need to come up with an astronomical hax ability for the next villain to justify continuing and I think he achieved that pretty well. Atleast Aizens ability made sense but with this one Kubo's just making shit up as he goes to hax up Tsukishimas powers even further. Gotta say Kubo does do a good job with coming up with overpowering and hax abilities. Next villain will have the ability to kill people by looking at them.

there are 100 kidou, to get around this new level of crap that he's put out. this whole arc is beating a dead horse

I believe double post rules dictate waiting like ten days after the last post to revive a thread. I think you're fine.

If you're any good at psychology, can you tell me why Kubo does this?

Since when has Ichigo ever won a battle through anything but sheer power advantage?  I'm trying to remember all the matches he's had and honestly can't think of any.

Even after his fight with Renji, actually.  He's been saved by those powers more times than it should be possible, too much of that Son Gohan from DBZ going on here.  I think I'll honestly stop reading this, when he has to use a ploy of bringing back popular characters in this manner just to save his ranking that's sad.

Also hat's off to the guy who said something about killing someone be looking at them.  Seems the old one eye'd guy used the wrong power in his fight.

Oh and as a last comment I thought, for a while, that Tsukishima's powers were pretty cool, too bad they were simply outsmarted in this case.  If the number two arrancar hadn't happened the way it did I'd say that was an interesting fight.  Right now bleach is where Yuyu was after then Dark Tournament.  Time to end this one Kubo, though that may not be his choice though.  (Guess that was a few comments, huh?)

Not enough to answer that on; but probably because it's working (He's still got a job that makes a ton of money off merch), and because he's lazy and drawing it out, maybe. His original story was probably too short, so instead he drew it out.

*EDIT*
Forgot to read the rest of the posts. Actually; Ichigo learned the proper way to focus his desire vs renji, then vs kenpachi he.. I forgot but he realized that, internally, too. I think a point that is trying to be made is that Ichigo's greatest asset is since his mother dying he does not let a single fucking person close to him come in harm's way. He's fucking obsessed with the idea to his fucking core; so as he experiances his own weaknesses, he reenforces his conviction not to let shit go bad and forces whatever pact he has to make his his own body, spirit, power, whatever to make it through to helping who he cares about. I dare say he would make a pact with the devil himself just to save a friend. If you take it in that perspective; it's interesting when he DOES fail, after all that conviction, and a completely seperate part of him that could care less about his friends comes up out of him to save him. What's really interesting is it seems Ichigo only learns his own abilities enough to do what he must to protect his friends, but his inner self, his selfish self.. his hollow.. seems to know hidden aspects of his own ability enough to bring out his true potential and unleash unthought of combat maneuvers (swinging the sword by the cloth?) to surprize the opponent. By comparison is makes Ichigo seem a barbarian in a rage.

That's what I find fascinating about it, but then again some people can find beauty in a plastic bag floating in an afternoon breeze.

I don't see why this is supposed to be all that shocking, or betrayal-y?  Ichigo's the son of a former captain with an absurdly high natural reiatsu, who got involved in a big-deal criminal case and defeated two captains during an invasion that threw Soul Society into chaos.  It seems pretty understandable to at the very least put the magical equivalent of a beeping house-arrest locator around his ankle.

He's saying Ichigo did all that, read the sentence again.

It was all boiling down to this, for some reason. We were expecting this plot. This is supposed to be a small arc, afterwards we get the series's last arc, which would likely be better.. though probably just as fucking slow.
