I clearly said "in your opinion the arc sucked and in my opinion it didn't"

I have also proclaimed (more than one once) that it's a matter of "tastes"

*shrugs* Maybe he just meant hypocrisy. Because you know despite supposedly recognising other people's opinions, you have a tendacy belittling others opinions and generalisations (even when i warned you countless of times not to):

• The main antagonist and his top two henchmen were all Shinigami
• Shinji's group the Vaizards are all Shinigami
• The Arrancar/Espada/Fraccion were basically Pseudo-Shinigami who Bleached their Shihakusho's
• You only care about Ginjou now that it's been revealed he's a former Shinigami
• Tsukishima's powers remind you of Aizen (who is also a Shinigami) so now you're interested in him

The Shinigami left and the fans all left with them.
The only people who claim they were disappointed when the Shinigami showed up,

1. are primarily IchiHime fans that were angered because Ichigo's Nakama Orihime was pushed aside when Rukia the Shinigami returned and...they wanted Ichigo's namkama Ichigo and Orihime or Ichigo Ichigo and Orihime to solve his problems on his own and not with Rukia's help because she's NOT Orihime
   and.....
2. Arrancar fanboys and girls, who all say they hate Shinigami because they bring nothing new to the table. Despite Shinigami having the biggest bag of tricks because they're the most developed species in Bleach. The Arrancar they preferred were imitation Shinigami (The irony)

yet it seems like everyone is forgetting the HOLLOWS Not hybrids but the Hollows. The beings that it's a Shinigami's job to purify. Hollows haven't been developed enough. Only in bits and pieces ,here and there. This arc and the Fullbringers actually developed the Shinigami counterparts--The Hollows

A lot of fans scoffed at the Fullbringers using hollow powers. Fans said "They're just asspull powers and look nothing like Hollow powers" But what are hollow powers? Except for a "cero" there is nothing in Bleach that establish what Hollow powers really were.

The Arrancar were more like Shinigami than Hollow. The only difference was they manifested their powers and wore them and used that form to fight. The Shinigami manifest theirs into a weapon and then fought with it

1. Ginjou is the one who actually clarified WHAT "hollow powers" . He is the one who told us that the hollow powers come from their lost hearts
   
2. When a plus become hollow, they lose their hearts, and those lost hearts become their powers. ( Much like the Shinigami who's zanpakuto represent their true souls)
   
3. When you saw the fullbringers back story, you saw them activate the powers of their hearts. Whether it was wrought through pain or hatred...there powers were a manifestation of their hearts.

The Lost Shinigami agent arc developed hollows in way that no other arc has. Sure Ginjou is a shinigami but hollows are also vital to Bleach as the Shinigami, and so they also need development

Word. It looks as though the little bastard didn't consider them good enough for him. He preferred the ones he created with his fullbring. They seemed to be reaching out to him and he shunned them. They probably left him alone because he made it clear that he didn't want to be a part of their family. His ego tripping reminds me of Aizen. Which is why I believe that Kubo made them so similar. After Aizen proudly stating , only week people actually "needed" others and he had no need of such feelings. Ichigo saying he felt loneliness in his sword had fans shouting "OMFG GTFO RETCON!!! "


To each his own, I loved it, I just wish fans would really look at the arc for what it is. For how good it is instead of tearing it apart for what it isn't.

Kubo's pacing is the same as always. It took more chapters than this to kick off the SS arc that everyone glorifies so I can't understand the complaints about the pacing at this late date. I think this arc was brilliant and I knew the Shinigami would be back eventually so I didn't bitch about them not being there. I only cared about how Kubo was going to give Ichigo's powers back and the way he did it was damn awesome
