So with that...a combination of attack by Ichigo and Uryu, Yhwach takes the beat after getting literally slit in half. Hmm, can't say I'm surprised to see the conclusion of the fight this way.

Literally getting beaten by a blade..

As expected, the enemy is not something that easy to get defeated as seen in previous chapters. Even Ishida tried to stop his ability, and Ichigo was able to cut him on time. Is it the end?

Did he really took over Aizen? :o

Somehow his old Shikai is concealed inside the new Bankai.

Ichigo slashing Yhwach with Zangetsu. The arrow to the rescue.

So final chapter next week. How the hell is this going to end?

I'm sorry and I take back my words. Please don't let this end yet Kubo. One chapter left is just ridiculous as there's still a lot of plot threads needed to be resolved

- Old Shikai inside New Bankai
- Ichigo's blade broken in two consecutive chapters
- Ywach getting sliced in half in two consecutive chapters
- Aizen acting like the tragic villain-become-hero cliche
- Ishida deriving the "killing" shot as we all knew from a few chapters ago
- Extremely anticlimactic "finale"
- 1 more chapter to go

Can't really decide which one is more Kubo-level trolling... ... ...

At least it was good to see the old Zangetsu make a cameo :|

So what's next, 40-60-100 page final chapter?

Good lord why is this fight so half-assed.

Did Kubo really just hype up Ichigo's Bankai only for him to have Juha killed with a regular Zangetsu?

Ywach underestimated Ichigo from the start he has Zangetsu. He thought everything is according to plan but our main protagonist slashed him off. What would be next? A half-sliced body speaking? I think it's karma for destroying Yamamoto if you guys remembered!

Kubo two years ago: "Guys guys, I have to tell you a secret... Actually, Ichigo's sword... isn't his real sword! Yeah, you see, Zangetsu is just a fake sword created by the Quincy's boss who looks just like old man Zangetsu! Why this new villain looks just like a character invented 10 years ago? Because... uhhh... well, I planned it all from the beginning, yeah!"

Kubo now:"Guys guys, I have to tell you a secret... Actually, Ichigo's sword... isn't his real sword! Yeah, turns out he had the old version of Zangetsu inside his new shitty sword that breaks too many times all along, and that's the real form of his zanpakuto, yes.

Huh, I'm just retconning shit because I don't know how to end this manga properly? Ha ha ha, how could you possibly think something like that..." *sweats profusely*

I think he saw everything that has Quincy's blood thus certain chapter told that he saw how Ichigo is the son of the Dark Ones or something. Truly inspiring chapter! Shows that every badass bosses can go down with strong resolution of power. The original Zangetsu!

Looks like he's dead for sure this time. Hope Aizen is not dead or gone.

Also I wonder will it really end on 685 since there was no note on this one saying that the next one will be last.

What a mess...
Not only was it rushed , but it had a lot of plot-holes.
when did kyouka suigetsu have such a small time limit (did it even have one?) aizen abused that thing when fighting with the captains and now you're telling me that it had a 2 minutes time limit ?!
and if the guy can see the future, how did he not see that arrow coming?
oh and was aizen always this careless ?! why would you drop your guard like that?

Since it was declared that volume 74 will be the final one, and counting how many chapters are actually included in a single volume, you can easily say we're only gonna get one [or if not official yet, two] more chapter[s].

If the next one is the final one, really hope Kubo will at least wrap up the rest of the story/plot(!)holes/fanservice-bankais in a good way there.

The latest chapter is out.

So did Bach just kill Aizen?

I had a feeling that Uryu's powers would be the key to take down Bach. This fight obviously rush. It is sad that it comes to that.

Great to see Bach taking down, but still not like this. Hopefully the next chapter, the last chapter won't be so rushed. Maybe the epilogue will be at the pace it was indented.

I have never ever seen such absolute awful writing in my entire life. This is low even for Kubo's standards.

Bleach may fundamentally have pretty shit writing, but this chapter just took it to a new level. I don't know how the fuck Kubo still has his job when even middle school literature geeks can write better than this.

95% chance Aizen is dead.

Only reason he isn't dead would be to give Ichigo that final push to help him defeat Yahweh at this point. :/

Isn't Aizen immortal? The hogyoku that was infused with his body made him immortal. So I'm pretty sure he'll make a come back. Destroying his body doesn't really mean much.

What the fuck did I just read? Is that the old Zangetsu? Did the final boss literally got cut in half by a blade that fucking Byakuya broke 10+ years ago!? What happen to Aizen? And why on Earth is Ishida the one to win this one for everyone? I know Ichigo is the one who finished it, but Ishida practically gave Yhwach his death sentence. Fucking Ishida, the guy who hasn't beaten anyone major since Mayuri!? It's kinda early and I'm not fully awake but can someone just explain to me what the fuck happen?

Unless the final chapter is 100+ chapters, I don't get how they can end the series like this. Such a shame too, I've always been on the Bleach side against the Narutards, but holy shit, at least that closed out properly!

I think I chose the wrong side. I feel ashamed. Let's just hope the final chapter is a troll and they go on at least 5 more chapters to properly close a series this huge.

Otherwise it's a spit to the face to the loyal fans who has been reading this for 15 years.

Truly a masterpiece, can't wait to see the ending. This chapter was the perfect example of an amazing wrote chapter. Kubo truly is one of the best writers ever born and will be remembered as that.

Completely mindblowing until the very end. I cannot wait to reread this masterpiece once the last chapter lands(if it really is the last one), just so i can experience the pinnacle of writing in manga once again.

It occurs to me that Yhwach's power is basically DirecTV. Oh, I died? Well let's turn back time and bring myself back to life and go to the gym and say goodbye to Grampy Tim and listen to Jon Bon Jovi unplugged in concert.

Yhwach's got the power to turn back time,
So let's change the future where I died
And let's kick the shit out of Aizen too,
Before I get killed by old Zangetsu
Ooooooh that's the power to turn back time!

I'm pretty sure Kubo has no choice but do something like this chapter because it was just 2 chapters left and he has to finish it with like 40 page. He has to rush and kill the that can't be killed villain and fill the so many unexplained points. So for me it's not Kubo's fault it's SJ's fault we have to see so many rush at next chapter now. It's really sad Bleach deserved better ending. I'm just waiting an interview from Kubo to explain what is happening.

Well sales went down... and I wouldn't say it's only the magazine's fault... something happened and people lost interest in it, sales went down and few years later, here we are. It is sad that they treat it like this, even tho it brought in lots of money...
