This chapter reminded me of The Prodigy and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. What the hell is going on?

When will Bleach learn that asking questions is not an effective way of telling a story?

Its like Kubo couldn't figure out how cliffhangers worked, and just tries to always have one for every chapter always, and they come off as insanely generic and dumb. He knows that if left to our own devices we'd stop asking questions and coming back for answers, so he's asking the questions.

Interesting tangent though -

How many posts in this thread either contain large amounts of frustration, or end in question marks? Or both?

ive always wondered, If Ichigo is supposedly getting stronger, and Chad is weaker than the other fullbringers, why is it that when the town was about to be destroyed the full bringers did nothing? and this whole plot arc seems to be a copy paste of the vaizard arc... Ichigo must learn new powers, powers incomplete but fights anyway, gets saved, ichigo completes his power, does really well. But not strong enough thus learns a secret technique.

your tangent is awesome, and a really good question?

Kubo keeps asking questions, and generating more questions but never answering any questions that he didnt ask, but left open in the plot...

For example wtf happened to nel?

beach is seriously just messed up..
For the last few months, each chapter goes like this:

p.1-5 worthless drawings of non related things or character
p.5-10 big pictures of 2 guys who are going to fight soon looking at each other
p.10-17 jump around and each attack takes 1 to 2 pages
p.18- 20 some new guy comes in and take another page standing there without us knowing what is going on.

see u next week!!@!

Here's a reason why this manga has long since spun off into stupidity:

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT ICHIGO. The other characters have NO development whatsoever. Other mangas (i.e. One Piece) have incredible character development, ESPECIALLY for their non-main characters. It makes it so that there are actually other stories than the main character powers up, defeats strong opponent, gets stronger, etc., until power levels are absurd.

But no, in Bleach... who is important? Who is lovable? I think Chad used to be interesting, until Kubo wrote him off as very weak and made him extremely one-sided. Rukia used to be very cool until she became the damsel in distress always being dragged around and saved. The captains used to be cool, but since everyone is weaker than Ichigo, there's no point, there's no goal.

I think in all great mangas, the main character never is alone in development. I'd love to recommend this to Kubo; make your other characters more lovable. Give them actual stories, and let them develop alongside the main storyline. And give the main character a believable rival or something, and give him peers that can actually help in some way. In other great managas, there's a strong sense of community because the main character NEEDS to rely upon his friends for success (I don't mean that in battle, but in general). Now, in Bleach... I hardly care for anyone other than Ichigo, and he's wearing my patience thin.

Sorry about this rant, it's just that I loved Bleach so much in its olden days, but now it's entering this endless spiral that I don't want to see happen.

Oh this is getting interesting. The new guys power is a nintendo DS. I wonder what he's going to do with that.
I suggest putting in Bleach the fighting game and only playing that, the reality of bleach is so much worse..
Wishing you well.

I'd like to know if Ichigo is going to communicate with his hollow powers again.

If anyone is interested. It is less painful than the last 5 chapters IMO.

Not... much...

I'm glad it is going somewhere again, but very little has happened still, and we have yet to really hear about the downside to the fullbrings. (Unless I managed to miss something while sleeping through the other chapters.)

Well, the fullbrings are subject to plotkai... A sword that cuts through everything except when it doesn't.

Lets be honest. Kubo makes shit up on the fly.
There is no way this guy knows where this is going...

He doesn't even explain the new characters anymore like he used to with long backstories. He's probably thinking of a new manga anyway..

Does anyone know what the reaction is like in Japan? I mean, surely if this sort of trash is coming out every week there has to be some sort of consequence. If this was a Western TV series it'd lose its following very quickly due to the decrease in viewership and negative feedback. I don't quite understand how the author has managed to get away with this for so long.

I love me some single feet appearing.

It is going somewhere. That is more that I've grown to expect, so kind of a nice surprise?

In typical bleach fashion, I have absolutely no clue wtf was going on at the end of that chapter. Really the whole thing was weird, but the end is just confusing.

Why are people saying something happened? Nothing fking happened. All that's happened is they made Ichigo's powers returning into a long ass awkward clumsy showcase of the other fullbrings that lamely tie into Ichigo training to get powers back that he had before anyway.

All we found out was that someone else was taking his powers away. Which isn't surprising since they've been gone for what? A year now? Pretty sure it was obv that someone had taken them away. Oh wait, but it's not totally apparent because Kubo is such a douche that even after half a decade he still hasn't explained how hardly anything works in his stupid ass world.
