Em...meh........eh............bland is all I can think of.
Ichigo gets new powers from a mystery man to defeat the bad guy> Man steals powers, turns out to be on the evil side> Ichigo gets old powers back even STRONGER, just looks different> Wins.

Throw a few 1-Hit K.O filler pages in-between from the captains, with useless backgrounds for characters we will most likely never see again. I miss you GrimmJaw

And that kids, is the entire arch.

The most disappointing thing this chapter for me, was the loss of Ichigo's post-Dangai Bankai look. He looks like a pirate, not like the epic badass he was against Aizen.

There was supposed to be an Isshin arc, no idea if Kubo's actually gonna follow through though.

Oh Kubo, you and your mediocre and boring arc.
Or maybe the fans just don't find the Bleach discussions in this forum enjoyable due to a massive amounts of comments like yours

I really don't think that was Kubo's intention at all. He's merely developing the characters. This chapters also explains why Tsukishima, would follow a guy, he could just bookmark and "make" him is friend

It also connects the "Donuts Chapter" The one a lot of fans complained because they felt Kubo wasted panel time on it and it's also the one that fueled TsuRiru Shippers, because a lot of fans thought that Riruka was thinking about Tsukishima, when Orihime said that it was because she was saved by Ichigo that she could laugh and be happy, despite her hardships.

When it was actually Ginjou, that Riruka and Jackie(when fighting Renji) were referring to.

Also Hollow powers are born from the "soul". Tsukishima's loneliness is a damn good explanation for how his powers came to be. He makes friends

It also shows that their bonds were geniune and not because Ginjou manipulated them for his own gain. It shows how he is different from Aizen

I don't see it that way at all. You can eventually recover from mind rape...or should I say there is a chance you could recover from mind rape but there's no coming back from death

yeah it was not as good as it could have been but I think Kubo had to cut it short due to executive meddling

You think he's sadistic? I don't think so, he actually seemed compassionate. He felt bad for Ichigo when he was crying.

Um, I don't understand. What did Ginjou do that was so bad. I mean sure, he deceived Ichigo and took his Fullbring but I wouldn't call him "evil" or even a "villain"

There have been far worse offenders in Bleach and some of them are actually the "good guys"

Also this chapter gave Tsukishima a Freudian Excuse, not Ginjou. If anything Kubo was fishing for sympathy for Tsukishima not Ginjou

Er...that was explained already. It wasn't really a mystery since KT explained in the chapter following the the BIG reveal

I'm also finding it difficult to care about the flashbacks which are to soon occur regarding characters I never really cared for up till now. So I'm curious to see if Kubo has what it takes to make me suddenly give a damn. We'll see...
Shikai Ichigo didn't stalemate, he overwhelmed GJ with a practice swing and a getsuga tensho. He didn't have to go bankai imo but for some reason he felt he had. Although he usually goes bankai first because he's a one-trick pony --BUT he was handling Ginjou in Shikai and then bankai. It was Ginjou who "had" to go bankai not Ichigo

He didn't take his fullbring powers--took the badge away. The badge was necessary to use "fulbring" but Ginjou didn't take away the ability to Fullbring



Ah I had so much more I planned to say, but I stopped caring since you guys are never ever serious about actually discussing the chapters and Bleach in general as you are about bashing it.

So I'm ghost

None of this is really relevant to my point but whatever...

Lol, you can possibly recover from mind rape? Really i would've thought mind rape is even worse than actual rape but since no one has ever been mind raped before then I guess it's impossible to say. In any case Riruka still made it sound like it was no big deal. I got the impression that she was saying it was harmless, in what was Kubo's attempt to whitewash Tsukishima's dickery so he could suddenly make him more sympathetic in a rather lame "Oh but he never wanted to kill anyone so deep down he actually a nice guy!"-like excuse.

Sorry, but seeing how he causes mental damage to Chad and Inoue with that kind of smirk on his face does not qualifies him as sadistic, I don't know what will.

Ginjou to Tsukishima, "Don't screw with their past now! If you do, they won't be of any help! You've already destroyed too many people so far." Then we get a panel of Inoue and Chad starting to break down from Tsukishima's mind rape.

I hardly doubt he felt bad for discarding a tool they had no use for, regardless of saying "I feel horrible." His facial expression didn't convey anything implying feeling horrible.

Cut off Ishida's arm.
Trained Ichigo just so he could steal his powers.
Saying they should kill Shishigawara after the battle was over because his power was troubling.

Ichigo w/ Shikai was overwhelming Ginjou w/out Shikai. When Ginjou did use his Shikai, the brief fight w/ Ichigo at the time, was even, with no clear victor.

The only thing that bothered me about their fight was simply this:

Bankai Ichigo > Bankai Hollow Ginjou

Given Ichigo's other massive showdowns, this should NOT have ended that fast.

Its as if you stopped paying attention to the parts of their battle scattered from chapter 462 to 474.
Anyways, they really did stalemate--with Ishida's help no less. The fight was going no where fast after Ginjou's first release. In fact, he felt confident enough to claim he could "easily wipe the floor with" the both of them. So I can sort of see why Ichigo went Bankai first.

Yes...but only after Ichigo took the advantage by going Bankai first.

^ hmm… I thought Ginjou is just being cocky and arrogant when he said that he can "easily wipe the floor with” both of them back there?!?.....

I actually expect that their fight will ended fast since you know, I’ve been underestimating Ginjou and this fullbringers from the start,,,…and well, I guess I’m right……from the point where Ginjou realize how much more powerful Ichigo compare to him when Rukia stab him with that edgeless sword…that’s why he try to run and escape but unfortunately he’s caught…..so he just focused on plan B,…..confused Ichigo’s resolve, say the truth about SS, make him in his side, let Ichigo hate SS and etc.,,,but that plan didn’t work either so this is the result.

So I think this is fine, there’s no point to drag too long the fight since I guess, this is just an introduction to Ichigo’s new regain power… and his training with the Fullbringer don’t give him any damn benefits at all.

Ah yeah, about the Bankai Ichigo vs Bankai Hollow Ginjou.
I just think that maybe Ginjou’s releasing his Bankai is just a force. I also think that he doesn’t have his own shinigami power at all. It’s just his own Fullbring + Ichigo’s fullbring …..so his fullbring=hollow power and ichigo’s fullbring = hollow power that is born from shinigami power……so if Ichigo can go Bankai, he can force himself to go Bankai too without his own shinigami power, just Ichigo’s……and we’ve had enough to say that what he steal from Ichigo is not enough and weak to defeat what was given to Ichigo…...argh, do I make sense?lol

Sigh, the cliffhanger does not make me excite at all……. I wonder If I can still keep up reading Bleach up to next year……but anyways, I still have my positive thinking, hopefully we’ll get more descent chapters next year,……..ah yeah, hoping to see Uruhara and Isshin….^^

As much as I enjoyed Tsuki brainwashing damn near everyone earlier on, this arc doesn't have enough behind it, even if it's a prelude to a bigger problem. Some characters are enjoyable, but there's not enough clout in this.
