Why do people think Renji won that first fight? I see it said so much but like he loses.

because renji owns him for a while, ichigo gets in one hit, then byakuya ends the fight immediately

you could call it a draw but ichigo definitely didn't win anything there

Yeah I can see it being a draw, but the end of the fight is Renji being put on his rear end and Byakuya insulting him then finishing things. That ain't a Renji victory either.

I'm honestly shocked that an obvious fanservice character was introduced then completely forgotten about for fifty or so chapters.

Also every time the dudes discuss how strong and gigantic their swords are I can't stop reading things into it. Like it's almost deliberate on Kubo's part that it sounds like literal dick measuring.

Rangiku.

Also I read a bunch more and now my new favorite character is the visor dude who looks like Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid in a white tuxedo.

EDIT: This also might be my imagination but Rukia seems to have lost about a foot in height over the course of the story. I don't remember her being this tiny in the first few chapters.

All the info & notes came from Kubo though, he wanted to put them into the manga....but it got cancelled.

My understanding is not that it was actually canceled, but that it basically went from "ending soon" to "ending right now" because of Kubo's deteriorating health. There's a reason it was like five years before he drew anything else.

His first appearance was in a room full of monster-looking dudes all talking ominously about Rukia's geegaw or however it's spelled. Then he shows up in Soul Society and does nothing before getting nailed to a wall.

Then again I've been speeding through this in huge chunks instead of once a week, so it probably seems more obvious.

On Agravity Boys, Geralt making a solar-powered water wheel with brushes to apply his hemorrhoid medicine made me laugh. Also it's good to see The Higher Being is back to mess with everyone again.

If Unluck can pivot away from the creepiness, I think the new plot developments will be really good.

I did like that they showed (again) that for all his strength he can't really really bullshit his way through everything. :) I'm really enjoying Mashle so far.



I have high hopes Agravity boys next week. :)
