The start of the Xcution Arc was actually pretty interesting, I thought (read: hoped) the quality of the series was going to go back up to where it was during the first arc. Then Kubo decided to just flat out give him his normal shinigami powers back, and suddenly the entire Aizen arc is completely cheapened/ruined. Ichigo's sacrifice which apparently allowed him to kill the most powerful being in the series (up to that point) in exchange for his powers wasn't any sacrifice at all. I also didn't really like how abruptly the Xcution arc seems to have ended. I really thought there was room to take the series in a new direction, and it really seemed like Kubo was interested in taking it in that direction too. Then he seemed to pull a complete 180 in the middle of the arc and decide that he was just going to essentially spend 25 chapters explaining how Ichigo giving up his ability to protect his friends was actually not a "no backsies" deal, as was originally implied.


In spite of how much I hated the idea of Ichigo becoming a shinigami again, I couldn't help but read this chapter while listening to this.

Ugh, too many characters I don't like in this chapter.

Excited for the new, final arc though! :D

"A suspicious shadow appears!" LOL Kubo seems to really love these suspicious shadows at the end of chapters.

I really have no idea what's happening in this chapter.

well lets see:
was ishida not the last quincy, or one of very very few?
i really hope this arc involves Nel, Shiba Kuukaku and her brother and ichigos family, because i liked those characters <.<

if kubo is going at this pace, it will take years xD

Honestly me either. I had to go through it twice to make sure I didn't miss some huge clue or something. Some shadow guy appears twice and we barely have enough info to even tell if hes a guy or girl, just some very very vague outline and half his/hers face.

Happy at the hope of hopefully seeing Nel perhaps. Hints at hollows killing hollows again, perhaps some natural espadas?

"The Final Holy War"... hype.

Despite the disappointment Bleach has been for the last... x hundred chapters, I am hyped.

Mysterious shadow... looks like the butler-dude from xcution, but he's dead.

So... Quincy? I hope not. I want to see some relevant continuation to the Aizen arc... Soul King plz.

All I got from this chapter is that the final arc will last a thousand years :/

This arc is going to be a while. Here's also all the information provided by Kubo during the three week break.

http://forums.saiyanisland.com/showthread.php?p=1037299

+ Show Spoiler +
Summary of above is taken entirely from this link
I'll focus mostly on Vol. 3 - Restart. Stuff this arc is supposed to accomplish.

- Kubo has been planning this arc since the end of the Soul Society Arc
- The upcoming Arc will be the Final Arc
- The next Arc will take place soon/directly after the Lost Shinigami Arc
- The foundation for the next Arc will be about certain "bodies" that Mayuri researched about in the past
- Rangiku's Past will play a key part in the story
- Hitsugaya's Bankai has been perfected
- Some Vice-Captains possibly obtaining Bankai. Yumichika is a good choice. Izuru's Bankai would be really gross
- Possibility of a flashback of when Kenpachi became Captain (Possibility low)
- Mayuri now looks like a Witch Doctor/Shaman
- Flashback of how Rukia felt when she was offered the position of Vice-Captain for Squad 13
- The mystery of Ichigo's Birth
- The meaning of the "True Blood" that Grand Fisher mentioned
- The relationship between Isshin & Ryuuken and the thing they seem to be hiding
- The secret of why Ichigo and Kaien look so similar
- The truth behind the death of Ichigo's mother
- Kon will be reappearing
- Hiyori's life and the other Vizard
- Hollows are being destroyed by someone/something
- Possibility of Aizen reappearing but in restraints
- Possibility of flashback of how Yoruichi and Urahara met over 100 years ago
- Zero Squad will be appearing
- The Soul King
- An event will happen that will leave Seireitei in ruin
- The enemies are small in numbers but increase over time
- Kubo laughs and hints at the end of the interview that the Shinigami could possibly know who the new enemies are

Alright, thought I'd check in, haven't read any Bleach in ages, I haven't looked at any of the recent posts in this thread, here's my question:

Is Bleach still bullshit? Or has something happened that would be worth me catching up?
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Why new characters? We have enough characters that are uninteresting enough already. And a couple that are interesting only because we would like to know more.

The final arc isn't really a place for new ones, especially new ones that are weak and/or a crybaby. Also "Rangiku's past will be important" ugh
Unprotected sex is like fast expanding in close positions. Its risky, but feels great when it works out
