Meh, a pretty typical fight with Toshiro demonstrating his abilities...

That cliffhanger with Byakuya though.

Better than I expected. Like Byakuya doin' stuff. And one-armed half dead Kenny holding back/trippin' a freakin' Godzilla sized opponent with his bare hand was great. XD

Oh, and Hitsugaya did stuff, ho hum don't give a shit.

Mhmm, that quick freeze is pretty crazy. Still, Gerard proved to be very resilient.

Okay chapter I guess.

How the hell do Ice powers allow someone to decide to change their age??? Why couldn't he do this before???? I'm struck by how frantic quickly these battles seem to be going. The story itself is dragging on and on forever, yes. But each chapter is basically HEY I AM GOING TO DO A MOVE. It fails. NOW I AM GOING TO DO A MOVE. It fails. Eventually someone succeeds but is injured. Some teamwork happens but its frantic and is just an unbalanced pace of throwing out new tricks in each chapter which are destined to not work anyway and not as much actual fighting, just hey here's a new trick, oh no he tanked it its his turn to do a trick now, okay cool I have to tank it so I can take my turn to do a different trick for him to tank until eventually one of us dies. Its devolved into such a basic pattern and little other fighting actually happens and its just trick winning but not really losing but not really etc and its become so basic, despite the fact that there are now so many new characters and despite reading every week like I have been for over a dozen years, they've all been forgettable and I have no idea what any of their names are. Not that some of these chapters haven't been cool or been visually cool to see some of their powers finally revealed but its just sad to see the state its in. Anyway at some point he'll run out of side characters to kill off and we'll get to see a full out Grimmjow battle and Chad will probably be completely ignored along with a bunch of the earlier protagonists and eventually he'll remember that Ichigo is the main character and he has to figure out what to do with the story and how many transformations he wants to do to wrap things up. I can't imagine Yhwach and Ichigo being an interesting final fight as things stand (I can imagine Aizen absorbs him or something and they have a rematch or some other shenanigans) because in all honesty it just looks like it'll be a really boring finale because Ichigo's been out of the game for so long and neither of their powers looks like it'll make for a new or exciting battle. The Ichibei fight was the best one in recent time and I just don't see where the story is anymore its just fan service at this point "hey look at the new powers of your favourite characters" the concept of this war and that there's anything at stake and who our main cast is is long forgotten.

It was at that moment when he said "I've aged a bit" that all the fangirls straight wet themselves.

Pretty nice teamwork from those 3 who always had their own views on fights, I asked for this a couple of chapters ago and I got it, thx Kubs you're cool.

Hitsuguya & that ultimate freeze on Gerard. Zaraki grabbing onto his foot & Byakuya with Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. Nice teamwork there.
So many blades. Hopefully Gerard is finished for good.

Kubo is rushing. Things are unfolding too fast. Some of the character development happening now should have happened earlier in the show.

Hitsuguya's ability to suspend is somewhat convenient to the fight.

An OK chapter, it was a fast read (finished it in ~2min).
It'll probably take more than that to take him down as Gerard is really durable.

A chapter.....special for Hitsugaya fangirls !

Good to see Gerard finally used his spirit bow, he looks like a shinigami or arrancar since he uses sword too much.

So....if Gerard's blade doesn't freeze anymore, Hitsugaya would be split in half ?

Still no explanation for Toshiro's growth spirt, I guess that is one of those unanswered questions. But grown up Toshiro looked awesome, why he doesn't like that form, I don't know.

So Kenpachi still not out of the fight, and Byakura is planning something, so they are trying to team work, that is something you don't see much in Bleach intentionally team work especially from Kenpachi, I guess you can call it character development.

Not that bad, I like when people fights using a tag team, it's more intelligent than 1vs1 with strong enemies.

Actually not a bad chapter, liked the synergy in the end especially. Kinda wish Hitsugaya's full bankai was more than becoming a hot throb for fangirls. I'm surprisingly satisfied.

It was a good chapter. Still like to know if Toshiro will stay like this or go back to looking like a kid when the fight is over.
I am hopping that the next chapter the fight will be over, its getting kind of long (IMO) I am a big Toshiro fan but I would like to see what is going on in other peoples fights. Also If he doesn't get defeated then what would be the point in Toshiro's new transformation if it not going to make a difference in the battle. I love that 3 captains are working together to defeat him. So hope by the next chapter Gerard will fall

Hitsugaya gave us a hint to why he aged which is because he cant master Hyourinmaru's power as yet. Hitsugaya is untouchable now. Cool!

Nice team work from the 3 and not the usual argument between Byakuya, Hitsugaya and Zaraki.

Byakuya went into Bankai. So looking forward to next week.

I felt the chapter rushed because Hitsugaya had Gerard on the edge.

It's hilarious. 3 of the most proud captains worked together.

Is Hitsugaya's form just a form and he'll come back as the little prince again or he achieved that form and will never go back?

I've finally caught up to Bleach, I've got to say it's been a big shitfuck of characters fighting and getting random powerups with. But it has been an enjoyable shitfuck. Well eitherway now that I can't read 5 chapters at once and will be reading it once a week it's probably gonna be bad considering the amount of chapters I've seen where nothing happened xD

I will be honest, I didn't even bother remembering the quincy's name, just ain't worth it because they ain't worth shit the way Kubo is treating them, with a few exception.

I thought it looked pretty cool there when Hitsugaya froze the dude, but nah "I can't be frozen", didn't that happen very often to Hitsugaya's opponent? At this point I am not even sure if Hitsugaya's freezing power is even useful.

Go ahead and tell me how a fight is supposed to be done then without either side doing any moves, I'll wait.

I know right! Every chapter the characters keep getting stronger. They are bringing out Secret Ultimate Moves left and right.

Still Byakuya's attack looked cool.

so.... we're not going to get an explanation for toushiro's sudden adult form? i know it hinted that it had something to do with his childlike body not being mature enough to handle daiguren hyourinmaru's full power, but you still have to explain how it was physically possible for him to age like that! is there some sort of kidou that could make it possible? does it have something to do wih an unknown ability of hyourinmaru? or maybe something to do with reishi in general? we need explanations! you can't just pull something like this out of nowhere and not explain it!
