Just kidding. It was pretty awesome, though I'll miss Kenpachi's bells. I'm little surprised to see Hitsugaya there. The others have a kind of kinship with Ichigo, but I don't really recall Hitsu being particularly close with Ichigo. I wonder why he decided to put his reiatsu towards getting Ichigo's powers back. I guess his popularity really does count for something

Rukia actually touched on why I can't stand Ichigo right now. Kubo tried to make light out of it, but it's true. He really is pathetic when he feels powerless. Give him a little bit of power back and all of a sudden he's confident and serious again. In a weird way, I sort of felt like he didn't deserve to have that BAMF look on his face this chapter.
That aside, I was disappointed not to see any mention regarding his hollow powers. But still, it's awesome to see so many returning faces from SS. Hopefully Kubo hasn't changed his mind regarding the direction of this series. To be more specific, I hope this is the short arc Kubo said was going to occur (after the arrancar saga) that will lead into the final arc of the series and hopefully we'll have officially entered that arc any week now. |

i don't see this as a final arc by any means, the other big two had time skips, which were like halfway points of the series apparently, so i wouldnt be surprised if kubo feels inclined to do the same
even though he can barely keep up with the weekly manga content hitsugaya's only here for fanservice (gotta boost those sales somehow) but in terms of plot, he probably feels indebted to ichigo for defeating aizen and helping free momo once and for all since he was too weak to do so ig fullbring is basically hollow based power, is ichigo's hollow and shinigami power permanently fused? permahollow mode? but then no more H-ichigo =(

What impressed me, is that thing, that Ginjou confused with an "improved getsuga", was just an air pressure from Ichigo's sword swing. Gives a hint on how powerfull that Shikai Ichigo is. (although, Kubo always have problems with it - this chapter character Ichigo is badass, next chapter he's nerfed into oblivion...) |

so, either ichigo has been made as powerful as his final getsuga form, or ginjou (and this whole fullbring thing) are just really weak (like low level shinigami weak)
i thought it was illegal for shinigami to give their powers to humans, anyway? shouldn't they all be strapped to a giant wooden structure and be destroyed by a giant flame phoenix now? *cue rescue all the shinigami arc and hilarious chad/orihime training sequence* i think ichigo has been made way too powerful. with the last arc, that was an "all or nothing" all out attack - this time around just makes that all seem pointless.

2.) If Kubo interpreted the entire arrancar saga to be one huge arc, then I could definitely see the next major arc being the final one if he plans on making it anywhere's near as lengthy. I mean the arrancar saga took about 5 years to get through. |

Oh! He wanted Ichigo to regain his powers so he can fight him to prove he's "The strongest one" and become a captain! Yeah, still kidding. Who knows? Let's see what Kubo does. |

Now that's just overkill. The battle against the fullbringers will be so one-sided it's not even funny. Regardless, I enjoyed seeing those guys again. The new looks are nice.
Sooooo, why the hell did they wait 18 months to restore Ichigo's powers? They must have known he was miserable without them.
