I hope ichigo walks through the portal with renewed confidence only for ywach to break his dumb sword in half immediately a second time in a row

also didn't ywach steal his powers or something? I don't think that changed when the sword was fixed

Ywach stole specifically both his quincy and hollow powers. Not sure how he took the hollow powers or how they didn't poison him or something but it was obviously just so that Ichigo would have nothing else to rely on until he gets his sword back. Since he's never used kido his shinigami powers are basically just his sword.

If I had to guess, I'd say that his renewed confidence comes from knowledge of how broken his Bankai is. No I am not sure what makes him think it won't be broken again immediately.

spending a few chapters on every fight would be fine if kubo didn't have 20 different fights to go through before the plot can progress. the funny thing is, i think kubo would be very suited for doing tournament arcs. a plot that progresses via one on one fights would be ideal for him, to say nothing of removing any urgency so the participants can posture and brag at each other to their heart's content.

but then, i have a very low opinion of shounen fighting manga tournaments in general and i completely loathe series which consist entirely of alternating tournaments and training.

This whole scenario is a lot like loving Sakura Card Captor for god's sake!

With the only difference that Sakura's teacher had a prominent role in the series as a red herring and you actually saw her carrying the reset button around.

This means that Bleach has gotten even more stupid than Sakura Card Captor, with the difference that Sakura Card Captor intended to be stupid fun.

What did Book Aizen add to the narrative that Orihime couldn't do to the story?

Orihime can't heal things that were damaged by the soul king(now part of Ywach) for reasons.
Tsukishima just had to change Ichigo's memory to the sword not breaking and :eyepoop:

I'd like to point out that he didn't stab the sword, he stabbed Ichigo. To the person asking about winning a lottery ticket, all you have to do is stab yourself and change your memories into believing you won the lottery and it somehow works

e:Unless I'm wrong and he did stab the sword before stabbing Ichigo? Or is it because the sword is part of Ichigo's soul? Which then raises the question why didn't Orihime just heal Ichigo.

Book aizen should give ichigo his fullbring.

Then ichigo would be able to diagonal slash the past.

So BACH would be like 'I can see the future and attack it', and ichigo would be like 'when you attack me in the future I'm attacking you back', and then a bunch of diagonal slashes which are also panel borders.

So Orihime couldn't fix his bankai because there did not exist a past where it hadn't been broken, so Book inserted one.

So maybe, now that he's using a nonregulation past, Bach won't be able to break it because I guess his power won't count the new past as a possibility?

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.
It's feasible that Orihime was just too air-headed to think about going back in time instead of whatever she was doing.

There's no way Kubo isn't just winging it. I love all the red herrings.

Haschwalt borrowng ywach's power while he slept -- didn't matter.
Ichigo having all these various abilities -- didn't matter.
Ishida being the "inheritor" of Ywach -- didn't matter.
Stealing bankais, in particular Yamamoto's -- didn't matter.
Kenpachi going bankai -- didn't matter.
Thor being completely unbeatable -- didn't matter.
Ukitake dying -- didn't matter.
Orihime's abiltiies -- as usual, did not matter.

Ironically the one thing that did matter was the fullbringers.

We still have to wrap up:
Ghost Dads.
Aizen
Ichibei
Nel?

I don't think we'll see Ichibei again except for the epilogue.


So I guess next xhapter will be Ichigo about to walk into the portal only for everyone(friends) to join him. Big splash page of everyone walking and many large images with a dymanic entry.
Chapter after that will be Ywach explaining why he did it and jon everyone not named Ichigo.
Chapter after that is Ywach dying.
Epilogue.

It's not hard to end Bleach. Ishida shows up, they go through the portal, they no ur sword is broken, (one chapter) ichigo's bankai actually works and makes the biggest sword slash of all time that cuts the planet in half and Bach makes the Cell face (you know the one) except he has more googley eyes, (two chapter) Bach explodes then Aizen opens the portal for them "just as planned" and becomes the soul king in a chair or whatever then there's three chapters of epilogue where he makes no mention of 90% of the characters. (last three chapters)

everyone is as Bleach'd as they've ever been

So is the series going to end with Harribel still in the rape dungeon? I just don't see how all these plot threads will go away too many side characters with dangling threads.

I assume she will be or already has been freed so that in the ending the various factions and their leaders can all gently caress back off to their respective territories having all learned basically nothing, especially the shinigami who will remain a bunch of pricks.
