Bleach is such a ridiculous thing. I have come seriously to expect news popping up one day saying "Kubo Tite joins Downtown".

Wanted to discuss this chapter a bit more but all I can see is forikorder all over the place. Too bad.

Because he molded them based on their owners. Duh.

Seriously, if you ever have a question about almost anything in Bleach, you can basically resort to the "You Fool!" rule, which basically says that every character in the entire series has about 100x more secrets than you think they do. They can be powerups, secret knowledge, whatever. They probably have it.

He should just send an SMS-Butterfly to Zaraki being all like "Hey, we don't know each other. Your Bankai name is 'Imbatoss Skillray'. Now go wreck 'em" and be over with this.

lol. I knwo what you mean. I don't mind the guy and all but I've learnt not to fall for his endless cycle of counter retorts tarp.

I dont know why you think Bleach is rediculous though. Manga is a creative process. You try writing 500+ manga chapters and making everything 100% coherent... it's impossible. Remember, this manga has been going for OVER A DECADE. Even if, say, Kubo wanted to quit after Aizen arc I'm sure he would have found it impossible because he would have been put under a lot of pressure to continue by both Executives and the general public. People wanted a conclusion to certain things... they wanted to know all the bankais, they wanted zaraki to learn his zunpukuto's name, (secretly) they wanted Ichigo to get his power back.... All Kubo is basically doing now is creating a story to reveal the things people are asking for... for example, everyone says Renji's bankai is useless and they want to see him with a good Bankia - this happens... people call bullshit. Why? Why do you even read bleach? If you are upset about bleach or critical about bleach you should ask yourself why you're reading. It's because you want to see a conclusion! There's a cliff hanger and you want to see what's over the edge!

For me, I read bleach because I want to know all the Bankais, I want to get the full history on all the captains and I want to see what happens to the Shiba family. I hope and pray that Ichigo becomes the new head. I also hope Urahara gets a squad zero spot as the Hollow specialist or something.... The story? I have ABSOLUTELY no expectation around the storyline or how well constructed it is on the jounrey towards these conclusions...
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Give this man a cookie!

I agree with you on pretty much everything.
The thing is, people start bitching about Bleach and Kubo, because the have to wait for the next chapter every time. Instead of you'd for instance stopped reading for a year or even until this arc is over, and then read about all of it, it's much more forgiving. The reason for this, is because the frustration build up is waaaay less.
Renji's sudden power-up and new bankai bothers you? So what, you just read the next chapter. Oh it's (probably) Rukia's sudden power-up and bankai. That bothers you too? Just wait, there's Ichigo or Karaki, etc.

I personally think that's the cure for people being little whiny babies about this manga.
Rejoice, for very bad things are about to happen!

Not really a fair excuse. The main reason Bleach's story is like an LSD trip right now is probably because it's getting milked for its worth, when Kubo was supposed to stop earlier on. Naruto has been going on for a comparable amount of time, but the story there makes perfect sense.

One Piece is probably a much better example. Naruto is starting to show Bleach-esque features as well.

Don't use Naruto as an example, it's just as bad (in different ways).

Not that Bleach is bad. Bleach is good. So bad it's good.
