so... i stopped reading the manga around when ichigo was saving orihime and he was facing the #3 arrancar guy or w.e
the one who has mercy on orihime? ulquiorra i think

now im wtfing about how gin was a good guy and apparently ichigo got strong enough to take on aizen? back then aizen could probably flick ichigo away with a finger.

i need to catch up!

anyone know any good manga sites where i can catch up on bleach and other mangas?

mangareader sometimes is glitchy and gives errors
mangastream is only recent chapters
mangashare is okay, but doesn't really work well on my smartphone
mangafox has licensing

Didn't even show Ichigo getting strong. I know he fought his hollow self and blah blah blah, but he just appears out of no where and OMGWTFPWNS Aizen just like that. -_-

Well, OnePiece is subject to the same... all manga is; the skill of the author determines how well they pull it off. In all likelyhood, Bleach is his first manga and thus he hasn't solved how to fufill his contract with Jump (schedule) as well as their demands for extensions in a way that keeps it intact.

igotmyown:
I'm thinking you don't know the business side... I'm not going to pretend I work in manga publishing, but I do work in a field that licenses... so yeah, anyway, the movies are NEVER controlled by the manga author. For the most part, depending on their contract, they lose that right. Jump or the publisher licenses the manga to be turned into anime and movies and the result thereof does provide profit to the author and publisher. For example, none of the DBZ movies were ever part of the official story. EVER. Same with Naruto, etc. Also, anime versions cannot be controlled by the original author... there man be some authors who seek exception clauses, but most never imagine their manga will one day be an anime or a movie and the thought of such likely stuns them in such a state of happiness they just smile in glee.

For manga contracts they will usually do a minimum term in which the author must develop a reader base... Bleach did this well, and then follow it from there. Then, year-by-year it will be renewed. For Japanese, if your contractor asks you to extend it (the story) when you planned to end it, you will often cave to their request, ESPECIALLY someone as big and powerful as Jump. Jump = The New Yorker of manga.

Foreshadowing of the mask doesn't really connect with Aizen being a butterfly... just saying... Kubo lost steam a while ago, but its too popular to just easily end so he's forced to drag what gas he has out of it. For the most part, with the whole "Royal Key" arc he has going, he may be able to squeeze another year or two from it before the popularity finally tanks to bottom and he's allowed to end it. Same thing happened with DBZ for the most part... Buu saga was Toriyama's way of saying "fuck you" to Jump. And, as I explained, he had nothing to do with GT, but didn't control the license, thus it was made.

The newest Getsuga Tenshou doesn't use Ichigo's sword, he chants it as he uses his palms to concentrate reiatsu. A spoiler demonstration!

Note the amount of time it takes to perform one task, exemplifying how this and Bleach are in fact the same.

Edit: Bleach only speeds up when Ichigo goes into full Hollow form and doesn't give a shit about stand-around-and-talk tradition. We need more of that.

Cool chapter, but I feel like it's just another build up for another epic disappointment.
