THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
------------------------------------------------

Back to Ichigo and gang now. Pretty boring chapter. Only consolation was watching the trade mark 'Getsuga Tensho' being sliced to half by Ulquiorra.

All that remains is finding out what he meant when he said Orihime is already one of them..

Still nothing happens on Bleach, but at least there's a change in the scenario.

I loved how everyone got super excited with last week's chapter and thought it was going to be the precursor of some good chapters ahead. But as I said last week, I don't see that happening and this chapter proved it. Tibo needs to cut down on useless frames and just concentrate on the good stuff. I feel he's prolong this arc way too long. I don't even see the purpose this chapter served.

The only vital information was at the end with Ulquiorra saying Orihime was "one of them." Which I will admit that I am curious about what he exactly means by that.

Average chapter, not as good as the last one, but still better that the ones before... hopefully Bleach gets back on the right track.

I'd like to see less of Chad and the others and more Ichigo. Other then that, great chapter.

Glad I got here before most of the whining began.^_^ It's funny how some people say almost every week nothing happened. Get new lines please. :(

Nothing more to add, I guess. ^^
It's been a while since I've actually enjoyed a Bleach chapter, and I'm thinking about quiting this series again after each and every new chapter coming out. I guess the only thing what keeps me reading this manga is that I've been reading this manga for a pretty long time by now. Shame.

9 pages of utter crap. but i guess it was needed to show how everyone is alive and kicking ass.

the one thing that has made the chapter satisfying is what did ulq mean when he said that it doesn't matter if ichigo saves her bc she is already one of them.

edit: nevermind the last page didnt load so i thought it was credits....it would have been better to end it the page i thought it ended.

edit 2: im confused, which is the last page, the one that says end or the one the one right after it. bah.

I think there's a reason why Kubo hasn't shown Ishida since the reunion of everyone. Fufu.

Boring ass chapter and why the hell is Ichigo seem to be in equal footing with Ulquiorra? it's only been like a couple of hours and he was able to get that much stronger, god there's like 3 more captains in hueco mundo least kubo could do was let one of them help him cause if Ichigo beats Ulquiorra one on one that's gonna suck ass >.<

Um... you do realize when he lost the first time he was already injured and not healed, and he didn't have full control of his mask till after the the fight with Grimmjow.
Plus, its obvious numbers don't mean shit, AKA Norita/Nel.
Grimjoww would've whopped emoboy's ass if he ever fought him.

Bah. Useless fighting scenes. Bleach fights used to be entertaining, with something always happening in the fight to keep it interesting - now its always the same:

Getsuga Tenshou!
Oh no! He blocked it!
Oh no! Cero!
Bankai! (in this case, Hollow Mask)
What the? What is this power? *Ulq frowns and shoots off more ceros
Ichigo Blocks / Dodges ceros
Ulq / espada *releases
Oh snap, I can't beat him .. again ... *chad, rukia everyone shows up and they still lose.
Orihime screams: save me!
Ichigo wins.

I mean, Kubo can be a little creative in an important fight such as this can't he? I'm hoping he doesn't let me down ..

Nayah took the words out of my mouth. Not a terrible chapter, but it felt under-par, as usual, and I'm curious with what Ulq said about Orihime. But seriously, reading the discussion threads are more entertaining these days. "Electronic Trees" being wasted, Gunblade's usual in B4 whining comment, and the odd fanboy denial whenever Vinde posts.

Another thing that is on my mind is what Kubo's Editor said during the one week break Kubo had once Chapter 316 was published (the chapter after Turn Back the Pendulum ended, and the really slow pace began, which set off the whining/constructive criticism?). Did the editor tell him to slow down, or did Kubo himself decide?

It's Aizen to decide eh?!

Maybe Aizen said to Orihime that he would just kill everyone if she won't obey her.
Maybe Aizen demonstrated his own power to Orihime and she believed that Aizen HAS really the power to destroy everyone, so she has to submit. Hahaha!

Ichigo's fight is gonna take a while, so for the time being I'm more interested in Rukia and the exequias leader. I hope the third dance has some cool new abilities and it won't just magically cause Sode no Shirayuki to break constantly so Rukia has an excuse to use it. Also the other guy's release is dumb enough to get me interested.
On the other hand, I do wonder if Ulquiorra has something up his sleeve regarding Orihime. Maybe it won't go down like Xyik said after all.

Dang, it's back to Ichigo now :(

I had hoped for a few more chapters with the other folks since they don't get nearly enough action. Besides, Ichigo's fights are almost always boring and predictable and would be better off replaced with any other character's fights.

He'll probably go full hollow.
It seems possible since a Arrancar's Ressirucetion form is pretty much full hollowization.

You mean Ichigo? Nah, I doubt he'll do that. Unless Kubo wants to show off Orihime's newly gained faith in him. But considering this is a power level manga, it's just a matter of time till he starts using more than just the mask.

"GOtTA SAVE mY NAKAMAS" + Some lame flashbacks

in the anime, it becomes more blatantly obvious as it is when the music changes.

I don't mind flashbacks that lead to character development. But the only character development Ichigo's ever gonna get is what you just mentioned, so I agree with you.
And yeah, the characters really need to start dying. It's not like half of them will ever have a serious role anyways.
Here's what the author needs to do:

1) Randomly choose a bunch of Bleach fans
2) Kill off all the characters more than half the fans can't remember the names of.
3) Kill a couple of important characters for good measure.

He wasn't injured when he met Ulquiorra in hueco mundo, hell Ulquiorra was his first fight in hueco mundo and even with his bankai and mask on Ulquiorra still beat him easily and now he suddenly has enough strength to fight Ulquiorra for that long. The grimmjow fight was another crappy one, ichigo trained for a long ass time and only got 11 seconds for his mask but suddenly during the fight he made it last for minutes.

Actually, Ulquiorra got the upper hand after Ichigo's mask shattered. But Ichigo was at full health (Nell healed him after his fight with the former espada) and it was a surprise attack. And Ulquiorra could've beaten him once he calmed down a bit.
Then again, that's all irrelevant because it's already been established that Bleach's power levels are very flexible (read: bullshit).

Great chapter and well-drawn fights. I only wish KT didn't stretch the pacing so much in his recent chapters. I've been wanting for a long time for us to get back to Hueco Mundo, and the Ulquiorra fight has been hyped up a little, but I'm sure KT won't disappoint.

Ulquiorra's release, Ichigo gathering some resolve, and another super big plot twist are all on the horizon. Oh, and I'm sure Ichigo's friends will do some fighting too :P

Um...well, nice art as always, KT. The only problem is that the story kinda, sorta sucks. There isn't any suspense whatsoever, as we all known the big-evil-villain's always going to lose; just a matter of how or where. Kubo had a chance to make this fight interesting if he hadn't started the Ants/Dragons/Pillar arc right in the beginning of this HYPED up fight. Now everything's just eclipsed by the fact the Big Three are fighting and we're not watching. Way to satisfy your readers....

In the worst case, Ulquiorra just believes the psychological stuff is gonna be enough to keep her on their side. In the best case, they did something really bad and she'll eventually face it and become a bit stronger (as a fighter and as a person). But Kubo probably likes her, so I doubt she'll change.

Oh, and chocosxeet95, while I agree with the rest of your post, I'm a bit split on Aizen. First of all, he might not be the true villain. And secondly, even if the question's just how he loses, this time I really wanna know the answer. I mean, the guy is overpowered as shit. How could they possibly beat him?
