Correction, she said helpless and by that she didn't mean weak, just that he has no manners
And in comparison to Mayuri she actually came to greet him Usually she would ignore him or bark at him. In worst case grab her weapon, but none of that happened so yeh, she was in good mood P.S. Shinji keeps calling him an idiot all the time, but no one seems to see anything bad in that. Byakuya is not the nicest person either Though I do admit that Soi Fon makes me face palm sometimes too. I wonder if Hachi ever locked Urahara in barrier or no...

Decent chapter. I don't much like the wrap-up of the arc, but seeing Ichigo confront Soul Society, if only in a minor way, was a nice development. I'm unsure where the story goes from here though...maybe that is why there is a 3 week break? (Here's hoping the next arc will feature Karin in a prominent role...but not as a damsel in distress.)

But despite my comments, I couldn't care less since I wasn't a big fan of this arc to begin with. I'd be more than happy if Kubo decides to move on to newer and more interesting things from here. Seriously, with this much time off, I hope this means he's finally ready to begin an arc which introduces Squad 0 and Isshin's history. And at the risk of getting flamed, lets bring back the trollmaster as well. Last edited by sayde; 2012-01-11 at 15:35. |

Quite lame way to get Ichigo's powers back. I mean he had long Fullbring training only to lose this power instantly and then get Shinigami powers so quickly.
We still don't know if Ichigo's new Shinigami powers are permanent or temporary. Aside from that introducing new characters and devote half/full chapter before their death/defeat was lame. Very weak arc even compared to Arrancar one, where at least there was some logic - story progressing to war and Aizen's defeat.

In which case all the shinigami would have to do is simply super charge Ichigo with spiritual energy again. Because apparently that's all it took all along. |

Wait, this is it? The fullbringers are forgotten forever (I was hoping Riruka would stay) and we don't even get to find out about Ginjo's past and why he was so buttdamaged SS monitored him? What was even the goddamn point?
It really feels like the unpopularity of this arc in Japan forced Kubo to end it quickly and pretend it never happened. Nel still has a chance to reappear in the story, and I'm sure she will at some point. Riruka, on the other hand, was clearly written off.

I have a question that's been on my mind since Ichigo got his powers back. Is he now a full human with Shinigami powers? Or is he just a Shinigami? Because before, he had to leave his living body to be a Shinigami, but now, has anyone seen or heard about a body after gaining the new powers?
Is he stuck like this? Can he simply turn them on and off at will? And if he is a human with power, will the whole Fullbring "Remember, your body is living, so you have limitations..." thing play a role? Although somehow, I feel Kubo will forget about all of it quickly... |

this chapter was just off somehow. i don't know what to think of it. even my joy of seeing the vizards again was short-lived. after all that talk about hating soul society and the shinigami they actually came back and assumed their old posts? wtf?!! okay, so maybe things have changed and maybe they did have good reasons for returning but i was hoping for kubo to at least address some part of it in this chapter instead of kyoraku and ukitake talking about ichigo growing up. it looked like fan service to me showing all those captains in this chapter.
