He got blasted apart by a quincy arrow and hasn't appeared since, alive or dead, nor has anyone mentioned him or taken note of his absence. This happened the first time they appeared, by the way, and they have since retreated and attacked again, but Kira is still probably rotting in a ditch somewhere, being missed by exactly nobody except possibly other characters who have fallen off the face of the earth (Mashiro says hi...or rather she would if she still existed).

Who is this 'Mashiro' you speak of? Is she a friend of this so-called "Chad" person?

Trying to compare Mashiro to Chad is honestly a little insulting to Chad. She's a second stringer from a group of second stringers. There was at least a time where Chad was important and relevant, I can't say the same for Mashiro.

Farewell Quincy Renji, we'll never forget you. Wait, was this a diagonal slash?

At least we can take solace in that taking kill count into account he did attain his goal as being one of the strongest Quiny ever.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Kubos fights have been all over the place, but this ones pretty cool. I think cutting off Bazz B's arm and having it spinning backwards cutting a tower down with the energy he had in his fingers was very nicely conveyed sense of action, and the ending was also good. Some of his fight panels are pretty sloppy but I liked this one

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Kubo has style, he can make pretty good fashion and character models, but he has no sense of pace and he just replaces characters with clones of themselves every arc. The world seems way too tiny for what it is.

That sounds cool but I didn't notice it happening because I am skimming these chapters at best. Kubo's art is good but agh I just don't care. I'm sure some people do because they have decent character designs, but I don't know why we're supposed to care about these characters.

It's probably just an info dump on quincy and YWACH powers. Maybe Ichigo is also a blank.

Or maybe it's some kind of Ichigo/Ishida stand-off foreshadowing...

Isn't Mashiro the one where she was supposed to be really powerful but actually no it doesn't work that way and your mask falls up lol get chumped?

We're supposed to care about them because generic flashback with generic relationship revealing generic archetypes. Basically, we're not. You can summarize everything revealed in the last three chapters with a sentence for each.

Great art but dumb flashback with the same resolution. Rather see great art used on actually advancing the plot.

She was an awesome Kamen Rider-type character too, and the "You can wear your mask the longest, but also if you use your mask to fight then it doesn't last that long" excuse was such complete and utter bullshit.

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


It was even dumber because the context they brought it up in was trying to get Ichigo to keep his mask on while everybody beat on him. Then it turns out it was just for sitting on your rear end wearing a mask.

Then it turned out the mask power was dumb for everyone.

The best thing is the excuse was whipped out either to have kensai bankai job (wtf?) or to keep from explaining wonderweiss' powers. Except since Wonderweiss was engineered to fight Yamamato, it was entirely reasonable for him to chump some characters then release. She could have just lost the fight, but Tite got bored. He literally got briefly excited to flop out a bankai, then just wet farted Kensei off the page. I think he put more effort into the joke chapters with the tiger espada who turned into a big balloon animal then died.

Oh and then we had a chance to show her teaching Shuhei how to bankai by beating the poo poo out of him but nope instead Ichigo running for 50 chapters.

Nope, she's fine. :thumbsup:

The injuries people survive in this are pretty funny, ghost body science or no. I want to see a character get literally ground into a fine paste then fed to a pig and crapped into a bucket of acid but somehow survive. Just show up in the very next chapter, completely healed, with no explanation at all.

I liked this flashback. I don't really care about BazzB, though learning a bit more about the only Quincy with an actual kill list was pretty okay. The main reason to care about the flashback was Hashwald, he's made it clear that he's planning a coup and at least now the reason is not just "I want to be th Ywach instead of the Ywach."

I just reread the whole flashback and it's not bad all together but it's pretty painful that this was a month of Bleach and we accomplished no more than another author could have accomplished in six pages.

His reason is the much more original "You killed my family."

... Or ghost family? I'm still not sure if the quincy flashback stuff is in the real world or double spirit world.

The most Kubo thing imaginable is if he's done for the rest of the series. He smugly defeated faceless mook monsters that were introduced the same chapter they were defeated, then he jobbed out and was forgotten.

Long live Tite Kubo.

Aizen is there. It was heavily implied he would take over as Soul King, though it will probably have some huge negative like being stuck in a jewel and having no arms or legs.
