New chapter is out. The plot suddenly lurches forward and just as you find yourself interested...it ends again. It was quite short. :(

Two tongued the Wind is going to spin them around real fast to blow everyone?

You are thinking of the wrong meaning of wind going off what happened this chapter.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
It is a tad annoying that he has Aizen levels of super buddies/megaplanning to get him through every conceivable jam he's been put in front of.

Would it have been too much to just make Ywach super loving strong? Like, confident enough to take on the Soul King levels of strong.

Then we could have done away with half of the gimmicky Quincy and have YWach single handedly wipe the floor with all of the Shinigami because he's on par with their equivalent to god.

The entire invasion could have just been him and a few lieutenants or something. The LT's taking on and easily dispatching all of the all of the lower "named" Shinigami, while all of the captains team up to take on Ywach only to get their poo poo collectively pushed in before Old Man Yama steps in arrogantly to get beaten down too (the entire point would be to show up the Shinigami arrogance that they've allegedly had).

You could also have done the whole Kenpachi training during this too. Show the whole "unlocking his power" segment while the Yama fight is going on to make him out to be a stand in "saviour" while Ichigo's off super training with Squad Zero.

After Yama dies, Kenpachi arrives and goes all out on Ywach but still isn't enough to kill him. Ichigo then shows up only to end up being what lets Yama into the spirit King Realm.

Then we've got a final section of Ywach smashing all of the Squad Zero while Ichigo discovers a way back to the Spirit King/gets all emotionally hyped at a destroyed Soul Society followed up by the final part of Ichigo returning in the nick of time with his full super mega powers to beat Ywach at the end.

Hell, they could have used the impending threat of Ywach as a reason to send Ichigo to the Spirit King to get his powers back and discover all the super hybrid poo poo up there.

Sternritter Wonderweiss we'd give a gently caress about yet another pointless waste of a chapter Seriously though, the parallels are just dopey. I know Bleach kinda re-iterates on itself but "here is my get out of jail card and he is a stupid looking W" feels just samey enough I'm bored.

I did enjoy the opening scene though.

The parallels are so similar that I'm almost expecting for an Aizen turn-face where he explains he knew everything Ywach was going to do and sought out to test the mettle of SS to make sure they were ready or do it himself with the hougokyo if that failed.

Im still waitinghoping for Kubo to break my expectations.
Soul King not caring much about Ichigo's specialness
Aizen laughing his rear end off about how he hasn't had to plan anything, protags did all the work anyways.

That kind of thing.

Just reading this made me start rewriting "You don't know you're beautiful" as "You don't know why you're powerful" about Ichigo's bullshit power ups, but I refuse to actually write it out since that would mean admitting that I know some of the words to a One Direction song.

Oh wait, poo poo-!

It's slightly worse, Ichigo taking the quick way down from the palace actually made it possible for YWACH to get up to the palace and that's why Ichigo has to go back.

Ichigo arrived in time to save Kenpachi, though he didn't actually beat any of Ken's opponents. He accomplished absolutely nothing else before hooking up with Urahara and heading back up. We could have had a sweet 1v4 battle, but instead most of the fighting happened off-panel.

Mouth girl ate love guy, YWACH easily proceeds through the spirit king's palace because some never-before-seen sternritter's power magically makes him invulnerable, Urahara makes preparations to send Ichigo & co back to the palace by firing them out of a big cannon.

I love how double bullshit W The Wave's ability is because it apparently also allows him to exist in some invisible or hidden state until Kubo pulls him out of his rear end. Considering this is Bleach, however, he's obviously going to get countered and be useless by the next trick someone in the Soul Palace pulls out, making the question of why Bach wasn't just fast enough to dodge attacks in the first place never get asked.

I think the come out of shadow thing might be a different sternritter's power and also makes more sense as that's where they all were hiding for the past 10000 years.

I thought the whole point of the shadows thing was they could exist on a separate plane or something and not interact with the Shinigami while they lived among them. If they not only could use their powers while in that form, but also can still use it, why have any Sternritter died? Just banish yourself to the shadow realm and use your abilities to kill all the shinigami.

They can't anymore becuase Mayuri paid the light bill after 500 years and they spent all of that time waiting for Ywach to wake up from his power nap
