1. The art is very bad
2. Never comes out

Other than that it's just Jojo fights starring child goku and his friend, child Vegeta.

The thing that makes me the saddest about this page is that Togashi's napkin sketches are still better than my most sincere attempts at art.

I'm just thinking the artist was hungry when drawing this panel, and then after eating a primo turkey leg he kinda stopped giving a poo poo cause, 'whatever man, my belly is full here, let's pick up the check and bounce.'

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


Someone should just set up Kubo and Togashi as a pair, that way Togashi only has to write and Kubo only has to draw cool poo poo.

Togashi has really good art when he's not dead whereas Kubo is a hack. Togashi isn't a hyper detailed guy but his character designs are very good and he has a really good eye for panel compostion and flow of combat.

those latter panels with the mass of controlled bodies climbing over one another to break hisoka is one of my favorite in all of manga. it really sells the claustrophobia of the fight

I don't know what Hisoka's problem is. They clearly both agreed at the beginning of the match that all the chasing and being chased was tiresome, and that this deathmatch would settle things. It was a battle to the death, and Hisoka died. His heart stopped beating! That should have been the end of the grudge.

I like that it took dying for Hisoka to realise "don't let your opponent choose a venue where they have every advantage and you have none".

hisoka's whole deal is that he likes the rush he gets from picking apart his opponents whole strategy and way of fighting and utterly loving dominating them. chrollos strategy in their match depended on him borrowing the powers of his subordinates, so now hisoka's going to murder them all as he advances his plan to take him down. hisoka didn't die so as far as he's concerned the match isn't over yet

there's no way that is the only possible combination of nen that chrollo could come up with. if hisoka is still trying to defeat that particular set then he completely missed the point.

There are a few clues that indicate that it wasn't really a 1vs1 duel, like they agreed. Possibly, other Spiders were in the public.

Nooooo this is a terrible idea son. I don't like relying on youtubers for evidence but one of them did a short video on Bleach and by the time that series ends everyone is fighting in a blank void.

edit; I checked and even as simple an activity as 'running' qualifies for a background made of speedlines.

Just because it's not the only thing that can beat him doesn't mean he should just ignore it.

yeah, but that particular set only works with a big crowd. without the crowd chrollo would just be a fast dude with death hands, and i'm sure hisoka has dealt with similar opponents plenty of times.

i took hisokas immediate murder fantasies upon revival to be evidence that, even more than before, he had a few screws loose coming back from death. like he seems ultra hosed up now, as opposed to just super hosed up prior.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Kubo's a great artist when he's motivated and isn't basically forced to work on the same thing for 15 years. If you had been stuck on Bleach for that long you'd probably stop giving a poo poo too. Would the last couple years of its run really have been all that much better if it had proper backgrounds? Everything about the writing was still rear end outside of a couple bright spots here and there.

kubo's minimalist art style would have been fine if not for how awful his writing ended up. i don't think comparing kubo to togashi is very fair, though. togashi's work is often richly imaginative and compelling, but kubo could actually put out chapters on a regular schedule. so, apples and oranges.

Bleach should've legit ended with Aizen going down. The series already had a ton of problems, but Aizen's defeat would've made for a fairly strong finale. Imagine: The guy who, after countless times of having made a fool out of everyone, now finds himself going down screaming at his fate, furious and despairing that two guys he thought "beneath him" kicked his rear end + imprisoned him.

Alas, it did not end there.

In non-Bleach related things, HxH returns next week, right?

I stopped following Bleach right after Hueco Mundo arc ended and I'm betting that said plot points were not addressed in any satisfying way. Hell, Araki constantly made stuff up to make amends for his (self-admitted) forgetfulness and for the most part, JoJo is still cruising along doing fine and dandy after 30 years now. Hell, Steel Ball Run and JoJoLion are incredibly solid and, it wouldn't be all that unwise to claim that they're deffo the best JoJo arcs, not just because they're the most recent ones.

Only plot point I can think of that went unanswered is where is Yoruichi's sword. (Also why the fact did the Soul King show up for like 3 panels)

We're your first, last, and only line of defense. We live in secret. We exist in shadow.

And we dress in black.
I stopped reading bleach after the chapter where all the captains killed Aizen's illusion because I thought it'd be a more satisfying conclusion than the real one. A few years later I went "wait bleach isn't over yet?" and made the mistake of picking it back up.
