I kind of got the impression that's why they were all friends to begin with....Chad and Ichigo anyways, both only being half-Japanese. As for this chapter, gently caress man, I just want a shinigami to loving win for once. Like Kensei goes Vaizard and redeems his loss to WonderWeiss. Or have Kenpachi run through reciting the alphabet as he slashes through each one effortlessly. But I gotta hand it to Koobs, he's not ever short on character ideas.

WhiffleballDude posted:Yeah that was probably the most predictable ending that could have possibly been done but I can't help but dig Kensei's attitude. "I'm not here to gently caress around. Here's my bankai, here's what it does, now gently caress off." He just couldn't pull off loving Boring like Kenpachi would. Right now I really want to see Renji, Rukia, and Chad all fighting on captain levels. It would be a real  moment to see them taking down some of these quincies.I mean it has only been about ten years since any of them have had a real fight, right? (Rukia that one time doesn't count).

Y'know, now that they're showing up in the story again, I hope at some point we get some kinda context for the Vizards splitting up. I mean, I can vaguely imagine how it went down. Shinji, Rose and Kensei wanted to be captains again (and Mashiro follows Kensei wherever 'cause they seem to have a brother/sister thing goin' on), but Love, Hachi, Hiyori and Lisa were long since fed up with Soul Society's BS and didn't wanna go back. But even then, for narrative purposes, it feels strange to go part way, with some of them becoming captains and leaving some of them in the human world. I know there's something that the Vizards are handling in the human world, but it seems strange to me to pick them specifically for it rather than, say, Urahara's crew or Ichigo's sisters or Ichigo's friends from school, which would leave the Vizards to be in Soul Society and joining in on the Quincy fighting. Also, I hope at some point Kubo remembers that they can do that whole Hollowfication thing.

Wasn't there an opening in their respective squads, again? I'd be interested to see the conversation during the time skip to allow them back in.

Loved this chapter, it was just insane, but in a good way.hagie posted:Wasn't there an opening in their respective squads, again? this would be neat. And yeah of the three who became captains after Aizen's defeat all three were captains prior to being infected by his experiments 100 years ago. They're even captains of their original squads i think? The Vizard that didn't return were all Vice Captains or equivalent (hachi) except for Love. There are so many characters I want to see do *something* and I just get the feeling we'll never see them do anything. Isshin for example.

The backstory arc before this one made people want him that much more. Though I don't see him dying since there are still kids at home. I still think this whole story ends with Ichigo's sister(s) picking up the mantle. Maybe even picking up his sword(s).

I don't remember what position Mashiro has now. Mashiro is the self-proclaimed "Super Lieutenant" of Kensei's squad. In reality she's the co-lieutenant along with Hisagi. The three captains who went back to SS went back to their original divisions (Shinji to the 5th, Kensei to the 9th, Rose to the 3rd) As for what happened that let them back in, it was probably Yamamoto realizing that they weren't at fault for becoming Vizards, and probably some pressuring from the rest of the squads because they lost several people (and probably Ichigo had something to do with it too).

Japery aside I'm pretty sure Ichigo flat out states that he doesn't near the start while monologuing about how people try to bully him due to the color of his hair and Orihime's is orange/red, not blonde, so bleaching is out for that.

I think it's important not to confuse an anime character's drawn hair color with their "actual" hair color. Ichigo is a redhead, but I'm pretty sure Orihime's hair is "really" brown. Rangiku might actually be non-Japanese, though; Soul Society may be culturally Japanese, but presumably people from all over the world go there when they die. Weirdly, Hitsugaya is actually referred to as "silver-haired" in a filler episode, but I don't remember it ever being stated in the manga.

Yeah, Orihime was originally brown I'm pretty sure. I think there's even some old color art from Kubo with that? Ichigo has orange hair, but it should be noted that Ryuuken has white. What do they have in common? Quincy. Maybe it is just a thing that happens to Quincy sometimes.

If Bleach was more meta an omake or whatever where the two fathers do commentary of various fights would be fantastic. It would also be a massive improvement to all the side fights that don't really hold up.

There's a ton of omakes in the anime that are nothing but "Ryuuken and Ishida shoot the poo poo." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqtZt2vYPm0 My personal favorite.

Speaking of the anime, if they ever do make a new one to cover this arc I hope the battle music will live up to Ishida's.

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Bleach Ahahahaha, oh my god. Love lost because he explained how his power worked to a guy who probably would not have figured it out on his own. No matter how badly Renji screws this up, he will still look amazing by comparison. Oh, and neither of them bothered to use their mask, for no particular reason.

I love that the reason that Rose lost was because he had to explain his loving bankai to the audience so we would get it. Like loving seriously dude, I'm still laughing.

It's awesome that everyone expected Kensei to lose like a jobber and then he did. The way Rose was beat was even better. "Did you just crush your eardrums?" That's what you get for explaining your power! Now time for Renji to do what he does best so Rukia can look awesome. Say, wasn't Masc the Masculin also the guy that kicked Renji away when Byakuya was getting his rear end kicked by rear end nodt? This was hilarious. Mask the Masculin is truly the best. Whether he wins or loses, he is will always be a winner to his fans. Say Nothing posted:Well, that was the creepiest bankai ever. Has Junji Ito started drawing Bleach? Not quite the creepiest, but definately up there. To bad it was only shown so short.

Good lord, how has Soul Society lasted this long with such incompetent Captains? You had to wait for an opening to kill a helpless fan? Then the Bankai explanation->defeat in mere panels was way too stupid/amazing. I was waiting for Love to get back up and reveal that Mask was only winning in the "Hero's Life" illusion, but nope, he legitimately got star-beamed to let Renji save someone who literally just saved someone else in the same chapter.

That's what you get for explaining your power! It isn't only that he explained how it worked. Love first made absolutely certain that anyone who knew anything about bankai could tell that it was an illusion, then he admitted that it was an illusion, then he explained how it worked. It wasn't shown, but I suspect he also placed a "KICK ME" sign on his own back. Love would have easily won if he had pretended to have some generic fire bankai. It isn't all bad, though. Kubo could have started spending 10 chapters on each minor character fight again. It isn't like anyone gives a poo poo about Love (a.k.a. background vaizard #3), after all.
