All right so...

Urahara showed up and gave everyone a hollow pill to get their bankais back and Ice dude froze that Cang Tu guy or whatever who's going to just break out of it anyway. Also Robo Dude is probably dead

Then it turns out that the Leader knew that would happen, because of course he knew, and that it doesn't matter cause now the can Volstaage power up or whatever so they're still fucked.

Now Ichigo's running down Snake Way while the apparently crazy Quincy girl goes super saiyan.

Whatever you think about where we're heading now I can say with certainty that it's better than whatever the fuck Naruto is doing.

In bleach it's better to consider the "real world", HM and SS as dimensions than concept of "life" and "death". Ghosts are a state of soul in the "living world" only, before it's sent either in HM or SS. It's like, an unstable phase after a living body in the living world dies.

Way to go Rukia, you're a frost nuke. And now Hitsugaya is even more pointless.

Then Kubo shouldn't be providing pseudo-scientific explanations for his fantasy bullshit. We can accept that fantasy doesn't follow real-world physics but it's fucking annoying when an author tries to explain fantasy using science that doesn't apply, when it's really obvious he has NO idea what he is talking about.

Nobody bitches that Monkey D. Luffy eating a fruit and gaining the ability to stretch his body to ridiculous proportions is "scientifically inaccurate" because Oda lets magic just be magic.
>> No. 87392
Rukia's bankai is pretty cool looking.

Also if Yachiru has to get rescued in spite of how dangerous she's supposed to be I won't be surprised in the least.
>> No. 87393
>>87392
Has Yachiru ever even drawn her sword? And yeah, I can't say I'm not expecting it, but I'll still be disappointed if we don't get to see Yachiru actually fight a battle instead of just getting saved by Kenpachi. C'mon Kubo, at least let us see why she's a vice-captain.
>> No. 87396
>>87393
I wish she was trong, but someone I think she's gonna be kebabed like Oomaeda's sister, probably alongside Isane, so some captain can get some revenge.

Looks like you're going to get your wish!

And its a copycat shikai. One extra sword copies her actions... And another sword who copies her instincts before she can actually act on it
>> No. 87631
>>87495
Whelp.... if was fun while it lasted. And by "it" I don't mean the fight (because there really wasn't one), I refer to the slight bit of interest Kubo generated in me when I thought she was going to do something. An implied sword swing, confusion, imagination, another sword swing, cookies, then Kenpachi. Of who I've never been less excited to see.

Is that what getting "Kubo'd" means? Because this was "how to kill hype" the chapter.
>> No. 87633
>>87631
This happens every other chapter. Because he's a bad writer.
>> No. 87640

I really am so sick of kenpachi
>> No. 87643
Did they really get rid of one half way decent villain to replace him with an Aizen level overpowerd villain for Kenpachi to stomp? Completely squandering Yachiru's shikai and any other development.

I guess. Still fucking stupid.
>> No. 87645
>>87631
>Is that what getting "Kubo'd" means?
Yes, actually.
>> No. 87657
It's not Kenpachi, though. It's Yachiru's imagination of him. That's why he's still wearing the eyepatch and still has the chipped up sword.
>> No. 87673
>>87657
That'd actually be a fantastic explanation.
>> No. 87675

That would actually be pretty great.

Wouldn't make the transition into this new guy any less awkward, though.
>> No. 87698
>>87675

Would work only if the clone is defeated but then the real one appears and saying "I'm the real Kempachi" and call his sword "please stand up, slim Shady".

Yeah, it would be. But because it would be, it won't be. Ya dig?
>> No. 87755
Not like it really matters, but I just read two different translations for the Unohana thing. One has Kenpachi saying that what's her face can kill him if she's pissed about it and the other says he always hated Unohana and it's fine that he killed her. Which one is right?
>> No. 87852
Ok so there's two chapters mentioning something off with Kenpachi.

So it's either really him and the fight with Unohana changed him or he's a figment of Yachurichu's imagination.

Kubo, just some advice. If you're going to make a character who's superpower is imagination. Give that power to someone eho's imagination doesn't suck.

He can think of anything so here's a bunch of guns that actually exist. Where's the spaceships? Where's the giant robots? Instead of a bunch of actual guns, why not a shitload of fucking lasers, and phasers and photon beams? How about a goddamn orbital cannon! Let's see some dinosaurs made out of lava, and billion strong swarm of Katana bee's that spit acid.

All this shit's off the top of my head! Give me the imagination powers. I'm ready coach, put me in the game!

I don't know why it never occurred to that Kubo doesn't actually even know the difference between most weapons.

Could be a translation error. Mangastream has it as "a blade perfected".
>> No. 88240
>>88228
Before "glaive" referred to a particular variety of polearm, in french it almost always refers to a roman gladius, and even in english is often used to refer poetically to a sword--generally as a reference to the sword Cronus wielded against Ouranous when he became King of the Titans.

Well I know some people are going to say the way he was defeated was dumb, but really, this wasn't so bad.

It's not like Zaraki cut imagination or something, his opponent just goofed.

goofy ending are pretty bad when it happens to serious characters. Dunno, it's like imagining Yamamoto losing because he forgot he wasn't immune to heat himself.

'Goofed' and in 'made a mistake'. There wasn't anything particularly goofy about it.

Agreed, I really like that death, "killed by the monster you turned yourself into" is like a neat album theme.

That's the problem with Bleach really, it's like throwing the themes of albums at a wall and seeing what sticks, if it had kept up with fun character interactions from the early series instead of eternity battles it really could have had some potential.

>>88327
You forgot to throw in his "canon movie" Hell powers in there.
>> No. 88344
okay, so to make sure i understood this right
Kenpachi made such an impression on Anthony Fremont there
that he started thinking of Kenpachi as some sort of actual monster
and was then torn apart by the "monster" he had made Kenpachi out to be in his mind
???

cause if so that's kinda cool, I don't mind it
>> No. 88347
>>88344

The way I understood it, he tried to imagine himself as a monster that could stop Kenpachi, but it wasn't something he could do, he had labeled the monster as "unimaginable" in his own mind, and thus just tore himself apart via his own lack of imagination.

Maybe?
>> No. 88348
>>88347
Just read the chapter without any real knowledge of pre-Bleach, but it seems pretty obvious that the kid couldn't imagine himself beating Kenpachi because Kenpachi was so frightening that he was seen as an unstoppable monster.
>> No. 88361
This is so confusing, Kubo should have just done what he always does and have the guy with the perfect counter fight him.
A smooth talker that can literally just talk him into imagining his own death.
>> No. 88363

>This is so confusing

I'm not sure what people are getting confused about. This is like Jim getting confused when the Doflamingo that got its head chopped off turned out to be a puppet.

if anything she's naked.
And Isane is nowhere to be seen
And the bambiettes seems horny.
