Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Why not just stab Byakuya and make him your bestie?

You're completely misrepresenting his powers. If he could hit you with his sword he was able to mess with your memories any way he liked. That includes making someone forget things, or making someone believe that he was always in their life and is actually their best friend. It's not great for killing people, but it is pretty OP because he can just make all his enemies into his friends.

Are you forgetting the part where he stabbed the ground and made it so that he had put a trap there earlier?

Edit: OK read the rest of the replies. I suppose it does have to involve him doing stuff in the past. I admit my memory of the Xcution arc is a but fuzzy, likely because I thought it was boring and stupid as hell.

It was boring because it was basically an opening to another manga. It Kubo finished bleach and released the XCution arc with brand new characters it probably would have turned out pretty good and interesting until character bloat. Because let's face it Kubo would never kill anyone in that either.

IIRC, he did stab him, it's just Byakuya was more loyal to Ichigo for saving Rukia.

He did, actually. But he also threatened Ichigo, who Byakuya was deeply indebted to for saving Rukia, so Byakuya mercilessly cut him down anyways.

"What...? Am I not your friend?"
"Yes, you are. You're my dearest friend. *single manly tear*"

(Actual quote, by the way. Or close enough.)

Yeah, I did forget that part, my bad. Most of the fullbringer arc is fuzzy for me, I just recalled his general power.

It's pretty fuckin' amazing that Byakuya was better at staying loyal to Ichigo than Chad, who's been Ichigo's friend for years, or Orihime, who loves Ichigo.

I wonder why Tsukishima didn't just use his sword to make it so that he saved Rukia instead of Ichigo.

Tsukishima was planning on using his ability on Kubo and the readers to make them think the Fullbringer arc never happened but Byakuya prevented that from happening.

Clearly he's the true villain here.

He wasn't being loyal to ichigo, the mission was to come and help ichigo and byakuya does not deviate from the mission.

Everyone else saw ichigo go nuts and attack their best friend and his own cousin for no reason so they were trying to calm him down/stop him.

Shouta Yoruichi is cute, Actual Yoruichi has a bombastic bod and is still the hottest character in Bleach, and that's really all that I could ask for, really.

Good chapter Kubo.

I look forward to being disappointed later on.

Yoruichi will be a good fight. She is one the few characters that Kubo writes knowing how stupid the laws of his universe are. I look forward to dropping the series because this is the fight he decides to kill her off.

Lot of correct opinions in this thread.

This guy using his powers to Doomsday himself is one of the more creative things Kubo's done in a while.

Him surviving and the way he did it were expected. It wasn't even a new rear end pull, it was almost good writing.

But Yoruichi was brilliant. Her facial expressions were perfect and she looked awesome(super hot) making them.
I also loved Yoruichi's brother punching him out.

Really, the solution to this guy is to just cut or punch him.


Related to the fan artwork, is Thor supposed to be pink?

Should've fought Aizen. 5 chapters of talking nonstop, he asks why Aizen hasn't attacked and he remarks that he's been loading him up with smug the entire time. Quincy explodes and dies.
