You know, I felt really rather bad for Ichigo this chapter. I dunno, but I just don't like this new ass-hat trainer. Urahara was at least tolerable and wasn't exactly kicking the dog while he was down like this guy. Which is why I hope that the first thing that Ichigo does when he gets back is to punch the guy so hard, his teeth turn to dust.
And poor Unohana. This was just a no-win situation for her. If she dies now, she got one of the worst send-offs a character could get. On the other hand, it is also entirely possible she gets to be revived (much like our friend Byakuya) which means all of this was effectively pointless and leaves absolutely no impact on the story. I admit I was excited when it was revealed that Unohana was the first Kenpachi. That was quickly ruined with this "fight".

I just wished Kubo just made this black guy more straight forward so we can move on with this training session...now we gonna have 20 boring chapters of ichigo laying in bed thinking "wtf was that guy talking about?" You'd think with Quincies preparing to attack at any time...these moron zero squad would be smarter and less time wasteful than ss but ... I kinda wish Quincies attack the royal palace and just kill them ...

What a waste. There was so much potential for Unohana's character. Nothing's gained from her dying now except a convenient wrap up to a fight Kubo no longer felt like drawing.
I don't even care what Zaraki's zanpakto is called. I love the guy exactly for his lack of tedious BS details. Don't know bankai? No problem! Don't know my sword's name? No problem! He just doesn't give a f*ck ever and goes out there and breaks sh*t. The uncomplicated battlelust is what makes him entertaining to watch. I straight up laughed out loud that Renji "beat" Ichigo. I love the guy, but if tattoo boy is going to be SS's saving grace they deserve to be destroyed by the Quincy.

Kubo probably ruined his character for me after this. About Unohana, as I said before - Kubo, I got to words for ya, SUCK IT!!

I'd assumed that it was due to the latent Quincy powers in his soul, protecting Tensa Zangetsu from being stolen (and later activating to break the cage and also to save him from Bach) - it would be hilariously broken if it turned out it didn't work because he wasn't in his proper bankai form (i.e. post-training) or something, though, although that would also be a huge sign of critical mass in terms of trolling

It is funny you should mention that since even on page 17, as Mr. Ass-hat is sending Ichigo away, Renji's face contorts into something akin to "Oh crap. I am boned again aren't I?" Guy just can't catch a break, can he?

Although my speculation is telling me that he's been using his bankai all along, sort of. Like I said, I see him as a mirror for Ichigo, and I think Kubo does too. Ichigo's bankai is just "more, better". What does Zaraki do, what has he done all these chapters as everyone else gets new abilities? He just hits them harder. He can only do that by raising and lowering his power level, right?

I like Renji but he's as smart as a box of rocks. Too bad Kubo couldn't leave B dead as he should be, because Renji probaly could've made an all right captain one day. And one day later, I"m still pissed off at how Kubo treated Unohana. If this is how the female characters are going to fare for the future, then I will have to seriously break my crack addiction to this shitty series.

^yea, rukia, nel and yoruichi all fizzled out a long time ago into filler characters. even halibel was one of the more simple and boring espadas. kubo either cant write or doesnt like to write women. it's pretty obvious and also similar to kishimoto and toriyama. they can only create female characters, but cant seem to keep them interesting or complex

At least Yoruichi still has something of a shot left to fulfill though I"m sure Kubo will shit on her even more than he did when Team Urahara fought Aizen. Love how she's the only one who didn't recover right away...if it weren't for that anime filler arc, I would've seriously thought she was dead.
I can't get too mad about Halibel since she really wasn't in it that much, but I love how we haven't seen the Three Amigas since Opie apparently killed them....Nel too. I don't even remember Opie even TOUCHING her and she's Out. Must...stop....reading this nonsense.

but wouldn't it be the ultimate troll to have SS act wisely? everything they do is borderline retarded. the whole rukia/aizen debacle. the vizard debacle. yama-jii not healing his arm. the 4 captains using their bankais and then renji following suit. it's all been mindless nonsense from SS

I agree with this. the hiphop RG is trying to teach ichigo a tough lesson about exactly this. renji has put in the time with his zanpakutou and training in general. ichigo has more or less been using cheat codes to advance through the levels of the greatest shinigami warriors. i dont think the hiphop RG actually believes what he's saying to ichigo. he's just trying to change his mindset. i do believe that if ichigo can't change the way he does things then he won't be allowed back, but he of course will do whatever is necessary to advance past this stage of improvement

We all know Ichigo will succeed in the end anyway...it is a shonen series afterall...but holyyyyyyyyyyyyy moly wouldn't it be the ultimate troll if Kubo makes the SS lose again to the VR after all of this?
And since Ichigo isn't there in the SS at the moment, I suspect Bach and co. will be making an appearence again soon...which will be fine actually because at this point, the SS are fucking up left and right and Shunsui doesn't seem to be doing anything different than Yama did. I wanted to see Shutara and Black Monk's cities!
