It was really confusing. He fell, but then he didn't?

It was a flashforward of the future as seen through magic eyes?

So Chad could have done something useful, but they averted the timeline where he actually did.

The series would be massively improved if at this point it was just Uruhara and Aizen going full Staler and Waldorf about each fight.

I wonder if the whole point of this is to set up that Hashbrowns is crazy or he's the weak point and Ishida is going to kill him so Ichigo can kill beardy man

I like the bit about the Quincies conquering the real world. Like, who cares? Why is any of this even on the page? What is he even going to do when he gets there? So far his policies are just revenge on people who committed brutal genocide. He's made no hint he'd be bad for the real world at all. The writing is so sparse on why we give a poo poo about anything.

No, because that would be too awesome, and the whole point of reading Bleach each week is that no matter what nothing in your week is going to be as disappointing.

To be fair, we knew there was absolutely no point to this poo poo from the moment he declared himself totally a villain. It is somewhat surprising that his plan was this dumb though. But then again, Bleach.

There is no way Hashbrowns is a weak point. His death will just mean there is no way for Ywach to lose his power now. It's like you guys are new to shounen.

Oh you're totally right, it'll be that twist. Then he'll be even more powerful, and the name monk will show up and poo poo his pants from how powerful he is.

I try not to think too hard about shounen logic. It just turns into trying to figure out the timeskips in fairy tail and I wake up in a subway in a pool of blood and a half eaten chicken teriyaki sub a few days later.

Look at this guy who hasn't read Bleach.

Hashbrowns is a super special quincy only born once every couple hundred years who shares a link with Bach. If it's special, then Ichigo is at least 50% it. Thus if Hashbrowns is taken out it will be revealed that Ichigo is the next super rare quincy link and get Bach's powers when Bach is taking a nap.

Presumably Ishida will then make himself useful by letting Ichigo stab him to get him to snap out of it.

Before that, Ichigo will stab Chad and not snap out of it despite being besties with Chad.

I'm actually shocked. Like, everybody over the age of 6 saw this poo poo heel-face-turn coming, especially since Kubo can't write a face turn to save his life (see: Gin) but the lack of planning on Ishida's part, you know, the smart planning guy, is laughable. His plan is to blow up the villain's castle. That's what all this was leading to.

I have to admit I spit up my drink when Ichigo almost fell again. I sometimes wonder if Kubo is actually totally self-aware.

Ishida's master plan - knock your friends to the downstairs area, then, like 100 yards from your boss, talk loudly about your plans to betray him and destroy the castle. Then Kubo drops a "reveal" that Hashbrowns is right next to them? What?

Hey it was a filler arc for a reason, right.

It restarted ichigo with just a shikai and no bankai and ended with a fight in the same location that ichigo fought Byakuya Kuchiki.

No, there was also something where they wanted to go to soul society because their spirit particle eating powers were stronger there, and they wanted to nuke the place too.

Ichigo stopped fighting bach after he killed the soul king, then Hasch killed fire guy and powered up.

My question for this chapter is, even ignoring that Bach and Hasch can see everything, why did Uryuu think it was prudent to lay out his whole plan literally feet away from Hasch?
