I'm srsly looking a reason why i keep reading this.
It would be actually funny if KT is tired of Ichigo, so he kills him and Tsukishima take the lead role BTW, do you have any doubt that KT is capable of pulling that kind of trolling?.

I’m sorry but when I read this chapter it kind of reminded me of when I use to read fanfiction and how people forced themselves into the story—completely altering the history and making themselves seem better than the actual heroes. This to me seems like Tsukishima’s power (or at least the gist of it)—but he can only do this to the people he stabs (like a crazed fan running down the street and shanking his idol). This whole arc just reminds me of a battle between Fanfiction and Original Story. And it’s Ichigo’s job to expose the truth—but he keeps wussing out and having panic attacks—I mean honestly, this is our protagonist?
The highlight of this chapter was Chad finally getting to kick ass (which we all should know won’t last long) and the tantalizing tease that was the colored front page. Look, characters that are familiar to the audience! Will they be in any recent chapters? Probably not! Will this get your hopes up enough to keep reading for at least another month or two before saying you’re going to quit this stuff and then Kubo pulls another stunt similar to this? Yes, yes you will! Oh, Bleach, how I just let myself be abused. I love it.

You really do have to miss Zangetsu adn Hichigo, I kinda wonder if I'll be overjoyed at Hichgo's return? Overjoyed with Bleach? yea kinda hard to believe Chapter was well like alot of this arc so pretty meh on the whole, it's had it's little ups but alot more downs. Ichigo is rather slow on the up take, he's had everything spelled out for him yet he still questions it all and asks why Chad and Orihime are doing what they are doing. I really wonder if that will ever change? Atm the only real good thing I can take away from this arc is some certain new characters and old characters new looks, thats about it so far. Heres hoping new look reapers will show up!

I have an idea on how this could continue on. Ichigo loses and is forced to have his mind altered. After confirming that he "remembers," Inoue heals his wounds which has the benefit of removing the mind alteration since that happens after receiving those wounds. Ichigo, if he's actually clever enough, convinces Inoue to use her power on the whole mansion (repair the damage done from the battle or something) and it affects everyone inside it. What this does is a) remove the mind alteration from everyone and b) removes Ichigo's power at the same time, making that whole training arc completely pointless.
What do you guys think? |

I think that this arc can be pointless to bring another arc soon. Perhaps Kubo needed some time to continue the manga and created this "arc". Really... this is like a filler arc inside the manga
There you have Kakashi Gaiden... it wasn't too much weeks though.

I like how Tsukishima basically made everyone believe that he did all the hero shit that Ichigo did once upon a time - rescue Rukia, save the world from Aizen, etc. Inferiority complex much?
Though the seemingly out of nowhere mention of Rukia leads me to believe that she's the shinigami linked to Urahara and Isshin.

Amazing...even a chapter that provided explanations still ended up feeling like it moved the plot forward at a snails pace. *sighs*
So much time has passed, that at this point, I can't even bring myself to care about the mystery shinigami or what the hell Urahara and Isshin were up to anymore. The only thing keeping me vaguely interested at this point is finding out if my predictions comes true. Having Ichigo lose his way by having friends and loved ones turn against him leads to believe there's an increased possibility he may do something regrettable to attract Soul Societies' attention. |

Well I'm gonna take a break from Bleach for a few chapters. Not that I hate it, it's better to read more chapters later than having to look at one each week and talk about it. I might be holding my breath on that though. But there are other good manga out there that can be more of a read than Bleach right now.

As with Aizen I think the biggest issue is: “what the fuck is the point of all this?”
Kubo needs to find better antagonists, all we've seen so far are masochistic loonies that have some crush on Ichigo.
