We've waited for over 400 chapters for Yachiru (the real one) to actually do something and the best we got was her getting a bloody nose while fighting a mirage. He is trash. |

Allow me to sumarize the pages, one sentence per page:
Kenpachi is on a edge Kenpachi moves down Kenpachi says "Dead" Kenpachi says "Hate" Kenpachi says "Yeah" Kenpachi says "That's Right" Chapter number Cover, because chapter number and conver cant fit on same page "Ohnoes the ground is moving and shit!" We needed MOAR ground! Now at better angle. And here's another angle just in case you wanted it. Oh right... Villain intro. Kenpachi says "You Don't Say" -- accidental proper page -- Kenpachi says "Well Shit" (whew was worries about the pacing there for a second) -- ohshit another proper page -- Kenpachi says "Kenpachi" (two page spread to make up for it) /end summary - In all seriousness though I actually enjoyed the chapter. Was fairly amusing and Kenpachi is probably the only character story I care for at this point—which is somewhat ironic.

That was the most boring chapter. It really explained absolutely nothing. We knew everything that took place in this chapter.
last chapter explained the guys powers. Awhile ago we knew he killed his favorite captain....why explain it again.

well the thing is kenpachi si dealing with some kind of reality warper, and , given the previous status of his shikai is plainly ideal sword to sword or physical combat, it would require a degree of intelligence to deal with V, but would like yachiru and isan eto really support him, not become someon like inoue

Remove the color pages and credits that come packed with most group translations and the average Bleach chapter is roughly 14 pages. Since Kubo loves using large panels and spreads, those pages go quick. But if you put it into perspective, he's churning out roughly 56 pages a month. That's actually on par with, if not slightly higher than, the average monthly manga.
And while I'm not rushing to his defense on everything, 56 pages a month is a lot of damn work to keep up with on a consistent basis. He's been doing this for nearly a decade. Say what you will about the quality of his work, he's definitely dedicated to it. I have a lot of respect for most manga artists: the schedule is brutal and the pay/benefits are often crap. It's certainly not a job to pick if you want fame and fortune. Kubo is lucky to have Bleach become a success. Far better titles get far less exposure than it. Seems like it. I can hope for a surprise though...right?

that's a short... but makes me remember how awesome and frightening Kenpachi is....
You just can't imagine something that I can't cut through.... He's the boss truly!!! although I really want to see badass Unohana as well |

To be honest, I absolutely hate this ability. If only because it makes whoever's using it look like a complete idiot should they lose. Case in point, just the fact that this guy chose to imagine his body as harder than the hardest steel was an idiot thing to imagine in the first place. Why not just imagine his body to be completely impenetrable? (Or at the very least, harder than something like steel.) I mean without any established limitations, what's to stop this guy from literally spamming this ability like Hellsing's Schrödinger by imagining himself to be unharmed or unscathed from *any* attack or injury that comes his way? It's like having an infinite izanagi but far better since he seems to be able to control and manipulate reality beyond his own personal existence.
So if his power is exactly as it's described as "I can turn my fantasies into reality" with no other limitations, why not just fantasize a way for kenpachi to die suddenly right here and now? Why bother fighting if you can fantasize his heart stopping or something like that? And this doesn't even begin to cover all the possibilities. I get frustrated just thinking about all the reasons why this guy shouldn't lose (and yet will lose regardless). In theory, he really shouldn't be lying when he stated he was the strongest Sternritter. But Kenpachi will proceed to curbstomp him regardless because of how bad it would look for him if he did anything less than win by an overwhelming margin. Last edited by sayde; 2014-03-20 at 15:48. |

This felt like the shortest chapter ever. I actually went back because I thought I'd screwed something up and somehow skipped to the end. That's what happens when a mangaka writes 16 pages of pointless posturing, I guess.

I predicted this before and it came true.
Kenpachi's powers> V's imagination. He can't imagine someone being as strong as Kenpachi. Stupid I know but something like that is going to happen going by Ken's words.

Obvious is obvious:
Kubo needs an excuse for Kenny to show off whatever he got from Unohana so yeah...this kid's toast. But not without causing shit. And even if he dies right away from Kenny? He still trumps most of the VR just for ACTUALLY killing off two captains. Mask might've K'O'd five people, but he didn't kill any of them. Though Rose should be dead.
