Disappointed that Kenny's body gave out on him, essentially beating himself, but it makes sense given he only just used bankai for the first time. And Kubo more or less implied Kenny coulda won had he mastered the form, so I'll take it I guess. Never liked Hitsugaya, old or young. Hope his fight only lasts a couple chapters.

Adult Hitsugaya incoming. Fangirls will...

Anyway, I guess Zaraki's Bankai can go even further. Damn, isn't Zaraki's body already insanely OP? It needs to be even stronger O_o

Go to hell, Kubo. Kenpachi jobbing and random power-ups for the Quincy and Hitsugaya? Ugh. Mother of god. And of course, Kubo's same-face syndrome strikes again. Couldn't have made Hitsugaya look more like Grimmjow, huh?

Though he's not strong enough as another giant enemy appeared, and it seems like Hitsugaya has hidden strength when the bankai is matured?

It only has a time limit in the sense that Kenny's body isn't yet strong enough to handle it though, were he I didn't get the impression there's a timer like with Hitsugaya's petals or anything like that.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Kubo delivered on his word about Hitsugaya!! Which means
You da man Kubes


Finally, an Elite's Vollstandig that doesn't make him look like the graphic illustration of autism.


And goddamn... why the heck does he look like Ichigo?


Wait a minute... Why was he in Isshin's squad? Why does Rangiku coddle him? Fucking Kubo!


And LOL @Kenpachi! Once a tool-only-to-hype-someone-else, always a tool-only-to-hype-someone-else.

Welp, so Gerard does have Volstanding.. Kenpachi got rekted pretty quickly.
Perhaps Pernida is still alive, somewhere.. since he still didn't use his Volstanding yet.

Regarding Hitsugaya's powerup, no surprise there. Kubo already hinted in an interview that Hitsu's bankai training is complete. :^)

To be honest I liked this chapter cause it's not shitty-predictable as usual.

1) I like that Zaraki is KO (or it seems) cause I don't think his Bankai is complete (obviously) cause the sword is still 'broken' etc and he's not ready to use its complete power blahblah.

2) Bankai: hit puberty! is just... I don't know, I cannot say NOPE but it's weird.
We'll see, but again and again, too much space for Hitsugaya and Zaraki which are always the same, I'm still waiting for Byakuya or Shinji's turn.

3)Ok, I don't believe that the time of Shinji will come :-( but now that Zaraki seems of, maybe we're going to see Hitsu forcing Thor to release his Vollstandig (defeating Hitsu doing so) and then, Byakuya's new Bankai or something unpredictable.

3.5/5, maybe 4.

Wow. Nothing happened.

Nothing.

We knew that the fight wasn't over(what a twist!) since Thor didn't activate his final attack.

Once again it is only the last page that matters.

"So you wanted to see how Kenpachi's fight goes? Well, FUCK YOU ASSHOLE! This wasn't Kenpachi's fight to begin with, it's Hitsugaya's! Surprised? Wait, there's more! I am retconning the way Toshiro's bankai works to include a new eleventh hour powerup, and I'm also retconning his appearance to make him look just like Ichigo, just because I can! Now eat this steaming turd and tell me it's chocolate!

This dude's power is so broken...

Kenpachi was cool while he lasted but it was obvious that wasn't going to be enough to take out the giant.

Hitsuguy's new power up feels so convenient.

Welp, after 5 years, I finally have a final reason to drop this. Kenpachi was a laughing stock this arc, immedietly put down by that stupid hand, and now he was just a tool to activate shitty Thor's ultimate final form [ or is it? This is the only thing that comes even close to DBZ's "this is not even my final form"]

This whole arc was unbelievably bad, you could take out 99% of the chapters from the last 2 years, and you`ll lose absolutely nothing. Too bad, Bleach used to be my favorite when it was actually good.

I am almost convinced now that Kubo is googling for fanart and fanfiction sites. Then he sees what the fans most want and takes their ideas and turns them into reality. And even though he's just pulling those "shocks" randomly and only for fanservice, I can at least now enjoy it more than just spending a minute reading the whole chapter and that's it. Now I look at the fan-inspired ideas longer xD

At its current pace, this fight with Steroid Quincy won't end until Byakuya also gets a new powerup.

I really can't stop laughing at people calling this "asspull".

What NotThor did is exactly inline with what his power is. Surviving a certain death counts as a miracle conceptually so of course he would return and of course it would increase his powers since its pretty much height of a hero narrative in any sort of work


And Hitsugaya's power makes sense. Not only Kubo hinted at it multiple times, but logically it makes sense the same way with what we saw happen to kenpachi this chapter - Kenpachi can't handle full power of his bankai yet. Just like Hitsugaya would not be able to years ago - so back then when petals went out, it would be unable to fulfill the last condition and disappear. Now after training its a different matter altogether.


People always refuse to use their brain...

Random statement that Zaraki hasn't reached his limit yet so we can abuse it for future content to make him op as hell again. Ok.

Random asspull for Hitsugaya basically stating that he never used his full power even though we've had shit tons of strong enemies that he couldn't do anything against in the past. Ok.

Well, reading Bleach has basically turned into my weekly dose of cringe compilations.

So the Miracle Man didn't go down so easily, that is what I hope from him. So Kenpachi over did a bit I suppose.

I do wonder is Hitsugaya doing to do, is he going to be a big hero, after all the Kenpachi build up, that would be a surprise.

Lol Kubo even came out in an interview back in 2012 talking about Hitsugaya's Bankai and how he had completed it during the time skip and hinted to what would happen when the ice petals disappeared. Not to mention the slight hint in the fight against Shawlong. But of course since it's Bleach people would rather look like morons and just call something an asspull.

Honestly, I'm more disappointed in Kenpachi not being able to show off his Bankai more, but it was his first time using it and what happened to him is similar to what happened to Ichigo in his fight against Byakuya in the SS arc, only Kenpachi doesn't have a hollow inside him to save him this time.

Only one person in here referenced Thor's situation as asspull.

Kubo efficiently killed all fight related tension by ensuring us that as long as a bad guy wont show us his final power-up the duel is not over. So i can bet that virtually NO ONE thought this is it for Thor with last week pathetic cliffhanger. We could hope, but no.

As for ass pull for Hitsugaya - I would refer only to his appearance. Someone on this forum reminded me that Hitsu said something about achieving "true form" of his bankai. But his bishonen mode is a wtf - where does THIS come from???

Didn't really like this chapter. Zaraki's bankai collapsed too quickly.

While Hitsugaya's complete bankai seemed to come out of nowhere. I will say some guys explained to me that it was hinted in chapter 538 he had perfected his bankai but that still doesn't explain the rose petals being the trigger.
