Chapter's been released apparently. So lets see how much content we're able to discuss about this week...

Enjoy!

Haak · 2011-10-04, 14:21

More of the same. Fullbringers still getting raped...

sayde · 2011-10-04, 14:28

lol. It seems Ikkaku had to get worked over more than the rest of the shinigami though.

*is disappointed*

Alchemist007 · 2011-10-04, 14:44

I like the art though.

Heh, a good ol fashioned fistcuff beatdown complete with a finisher headbutt.

DorkingtonPugsly · 2011-10-04, 20:37

So, now the interesting guys are left... excited for next week!

Xion Valkyrie · 2011-10-04, 22:06

The last 2-3 chapters have been pretty much pointless. Why did they even need to bring all these captains?

Langus · 2011-10-04, 22:27

So shall we start a discussion about another fantastic character that's been written out of the manga? I figure we could have at least one of these for every pointless chapter Kubo gives us till this "battle" is over.

Might I suggest Grimmjow? Or perhaps Nel? Hell, nobody likes Tousen so why not him? Or maybe we could delve into Urahara - is he really a good guy or is the ultimate criminal mastermind? So many possibilities!

Marcus H. · 2011-10-04, 22:27

Welp, that was really uninteresting, actually.
And that's a good idea, Langus. My vote goes for discussing Urahara, since he's pretty much a Chaotic Good (or Chaotic Neutral even) character as of the recent chapter.

Bleach has been pointless since the Soul Society arc ended. Sure, there was some plot involving Aizen going "just as planned" constantly, but the rest was chapter after chapter filled with drawn out pointless fighting punctuated by moments of cool.

Pretty much like now. Drawn out arc filled with pointless fighting, but hey at least the arts great and the characters look all kinds of neat. Never mind all those characters who were in the last arc that mysteriously vanished, they were just plot devices anyway.

I do like Bleach, but it's nothing more than fast food. Easy to eat, quick to digest, and after a while you start questioning if it was really worth it.

james0246 · 2011-10-05, 00:27

You know, Ikkaku is the luckiest man in the series. I'm still befuddled as to why he ever appeared again beyond his initial defeat. He's not funny; he's not cool; his weapon is boring; he's unnecessarily bald; he's a little annoying; etc. Ikkaku has to be pretty damn lucky to appear so often considering how completely bland he is (imho).

Whatever the case, chapter looked good, and hopefully we'll finish the mini-boss battles next week.

Frenchie · 2011-10-05, 01:26

Oh come on James, no love for the luck luck dance? If not a fave, I find he's an enjoyable character.

lol kinda like mcdonald's huh?

yeah, why indeed? they could have brought in seated officers instead and these fullbringers would still get "raped" as haak pointed out.

oh wait, i know! kubo needed the manga sales and he needs to provide some ample fan service to achieve that.

oh well, at least ikkaku had a much harder time defeating his foe compared to the others. so it wasn't exactly a brutal rape but rather a "harassment". lol

I wholly endorse that idea. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I keep getting this impression that Urahara isn't the good guy he's been made out to be. I mean SS kicked him out on his ass. That had to cause at least a bit of resentment? And all he's done since is "help" them when he doesn't seem to be benefiting from it in any way. Hmmm...

Ehehehe - generally nice idea. But we gotta make it worthwhile aesthetically so I opt for Nel and Halibel

... Besides Urahara discussions get so confusing after a time - because he seems to be a deeply developed character but yet still remains a product of Kubo's chaos inevitably

I second that. Whaz wrong with Ikakku? I always liked him being capable of delivering both badass fights and comedy... and that had me laugh this week - though he definetly has to do the dance 2.0 now

While I am one of the people to usually complain heartily about fail chapters, I don't find much to disagree this week: Yeah those guys are all fillers being fodderized, but at least we are moving onward with that project... while I don't like midget-coolness moments, that snotty kid got it good from iceman so I had a little outburst of mirth there actually...

I should add: the third color spread somehow got me all hungry for bagels

I think he developed Riruka as a Orihime lookalike that always comes over as slutty as you sometimes want hime-chan to be... the concept has some merit

Shiroth · 2011-10-05, 05:09

It was certainly a nice looking chapter, which i believe that's all Bleach has going for it at the minute.

haegar · 2011-10-05, 05:42

as for written out characters... if we do spend more time somewhere of the mainplot (which was what again?

) I'd like a little stint into post-aizen hueco mundo.. We still don't know about those bodies Mayuri found in the lab, We don't know how the hollows fare now at all? Are any Vasto-Lordes left who now took over the place? With whom is Nel-san playing endless tag? Are Uliqui and Grimmjoff living a happy after life? Who haunts the ruins of Aizen's castle of night? All good questions

It'd be nice to think that Kubo has all his plans laid out. But I think it's more like keep'm mysterious until a card can be made and his face to put on it. Regardless, I hope it's a good card.

*Looks at Gin.*

Don't be too optimistic
