Didn't shinji already job out to explosions girl though?

I do appreciate how Kubo is just having people job out a couple to a Sternritter though. It's mildly frustrating but at least he gets several of the hero cast their screen time in a chapter or two instead of having like a thousand fights.

I always figured his obviously contradictory statements made it pretty clear that he was just spewing out bullshit 24/7. The Fullbringer arc was really painful, but overall the series wasn't too bad. If hueco mundo was cut down by like 4 years, I would say the series as a whole was pretty enjoyable.

Tsukishima was a better Aizen than Aizen. I'm not saying he was a good villain, but when he kept on talking about how he was responsible for everything it was just his memory fuckery powers. By contrast, Aizen legitimately claimed to be Ichigo's secret godfather and that claim was never actually refuted. What's worse, Aizen is still around. He is going to show up again, being smug as hell when all he ever had was brute force and pretension.

Everything he did was just to prepare Soul Society for the Sternritter invasion. You're welcome.

I'm kinda expecting it to be revealed that Aizen actually killed YWACH during their meeting in his prison and at the end he'll remove his YWACH disguise. That way Kubo doesn't have to explain how the hell anyone is gonna beat YWACH after all his quincy are dead and therefore all their power has been concentrated back into him.

Aizen is actually Chad and has been manipulating everything behind the scenes.

This arc is dragging, but at the same time, it's his last chance to finally show off the captains he's been ignoring.(Even the VC of Genryuusai who got beaten down hilariously)

I thought he got killed?

Also, Gin was confirmed as being dead. Sure, he has some unrevealed backstory and is rather interesting by bleach standards, but he is dead. Well, double dead. A dead ghost. At least Hiyori survived bisection, I bet an angry, ineffectual 'no officer I swear she is really 200 years old' character has a lot to offer to the remaining story.

Remove their head from what though. You can remove their head from their foot but cutting just about anywhere.

He could just stop jobbing guys and make them at least do some damage.
Make the enemy victories as phyrric as possible.

Kubo is bad at multi people fights but he could have some weaker people be attacked by the same guy in a row and some weak guy that is popular for some reason finishes him off because of the damage everyone else did. The good guys don't even have to be the ones to engage the fight the Quincy could just go around trying to snipe kills, maybe he gets stronger with every kill and is K for Killstreak.

We already had a killstreak guy. Its was the dude that got his face char-broiled off by Yamamoto.

I think you're looking at it the wrong way, what you say is making the arc drag is what you're supposed to be paying attention to right now, not the arc.

It'll be interesting to see how Ichigo counters Yamamoto's bankai.

Also, fun fact, I knew some Japanese exchange students who liked Bleach and they were surprised I called him Yamamoto. Apparently in Japan the name Genryuusai is a lot more memorable and interesting.

Rukia's bankai.

It makes me think of Admiral Yamamoto, although I don't think it's meant to be a reference to him. It's more likely to be a reference to the god Yama.

A popular theory is that Rukia will counter Yamamoto's bankai with her own so that Ichigo can attack Yhwach. This being Bleach, though, it's just as likely that Ichigo will get his Final Getsugatensho powerup again and win with raw power.

It would be more Bleach like if Rukia used her bankai to counter Yamamoto's, failed, and then Ichigo had to save her.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I bet Ichigo wont end up fighting Ywach. Kyoraku and Ukitake will fight him that way THEY can say "old man yama's flames were way hotter than this". Then they'll beat him while Ichigo is about to deal the finishing blow to Ichigo, then second in command goes "oh looks like the scales are going to tip in my favor now" and get a powerup.

It's only a sword that strikes with the surface of the sun, makes you completely invulnerable to everything, and summons an army of zombies.

I forgot the last power. I think it was to Cut Someone Really Really Hard which is the ultimate special attack in the Bleach universe.
