If they just have the Vizards and Captains and Vice Captains and Ichigo's friends beat the 26 letters of the alphabet this time around it'd be a better ending, because everyone reaching a new level of bankai, losing to a sternritter, and then Ywach just absorbing them later and then losing without Ichigo even using his full Bankai/Fullbringer/Quincy/Hollow form out is the lamest stuff. Am I mistaken, but aren't they finishing up this group of episodes and taking a break until summer? I hope they're pulling a reverse Evangelion where Kubo comes back to re-write everything into a satisfying conclusion before we end up with the really lame stuff that's coming up next If not, then I hope Kubo is well rested and is ready to write the Hell arc to give people satisfying conclusions

I don't know fan sentiment in Japan but if the final arcs of the manga weren't panned over there I have no real hope of any real revisions of the story. Does anyone know how it was recieved?

Is there any explanation for why the series gets so much gorier as it goes on? It seemed pretty tame through the Soul Society arc other than the hole blasted through Mayuri, but it’s been noticeably gnarlier now that I’m at Fake Karakura Town, and TYBW is super brutal.

Not quite sure what you mean considering soul society has Aizen strung up with a sword through his chest and fights like Ichigo vs Kenpachi unless you're talking about dismemberment?

I forget where but Kubo stated that he felt less restrained about what he could put in the TWBY arc because it wasn't being adapted into the anime at the time. Part of the sales pitch for this new season was that it wasn't going to censor out any of the violence like the old anime did. (they did remove a couple of sex jokes though).

Yeah blood and cuts I expect, it’s the dismembering and hand impaling. Not that it bothers me or anything, I was curious about the shift.

Well there's Momo, Aizen's fake impalement, and Ichigo's impalement vs Kenpachi in Soul Society off the top of my head. Ichigo cuts off Yammy's arm immediately in the next arc.

The manga was always visceral but the anime censored it to some degree. Compare how Ichigo defeats grand fisher in the manga to the anime. The former depiction is some poo poo you might see guts pull off in berserk.

Though I'm not sure I wanna know what did manage to get his crazy rear end locked up in superjail ghost slammer.

he committed every single ghost crime. so when urahara got him out, mayuri became immune to further prosecution due to a legal loophole. i'm sure the fine captains who definitely give a poo poo that mayuri vivisects people would like nothing more than to do something about him, but their hands are tied.

It'd make sense if the reason he was in ghost jail prior to being freed by Urahara was because his extermination of the Quincies was undertaken independently. But no, I'm fairly certain he does it as captain of the 12th, which means Urahara is complicit in the Quincy genocide.

The leader of the entire Soul Society used the corpses of dead Quincy to mentally torture what he thought was Ywach, and the original Gotei 13 seem to have been quite happy to essentially genocide the Quincy so I don't think Urahara is the only one complicit in Quincy warcrimes or crimes against humanity (Quincanity? Souls?). Nor do I think Yamamoto would have blinked an eye at the suggestion Mayuri continued it to this day. Or even raised an objection to doing so.

Mayuri was Kubo's favorite character to draw/write , and you could tell by how much more alive the manga felt whenever he was on screen (panel?), so that problably explains a little of why he didn't get any punishment. But also Soul Society sucks and Aizen was right.

The way Soul Society switches from a fascist feudal dystopia into something Ichigo repeatedly risks his life and powers to protect, despite the system itself not really changing one bit and just because everyone is too distracted about how drat cool all the Captains are, is one of the more hilarious aspects of Bleach.

Bleach has maybe one of the worst afterlife systems possible. It’s pretty much all bad. Your options are hell, be a monster always in pain, or be poor as hell.
