Anyone else feeling BLEACH getting rushed?

And ooh, daddy appears for the first time in a LONG time for no reason whatsoever that is even remotely explained. What a shock.

But seriously. My initial reaction once I saw Isshin: "YES, FUCK YES. FINALLY!"


Me too:DDDDD

Bleach is getting more and more confusing every chapter aizen speaks and you know why?? Cuz I'm fool enough to get manipulated by him just like them stupid ass captains. Ahh boi, I wonder how all this connects but it wouldn't be remotely suprising if Isshin turns out to be Aizens father or something. I just hope he trolls aizen otherwise we'll be bk to where we were a chapter ago, aizen being his usual superman self.

Godly chapter. I was laughing all the way through. Aizen is indeed proving once again that he's the greatest troll in manga. He was so close to finishing off Ichigo and the thing that is going to piss me off is not finding out what Aizen was going to say for another 200 chapters. Well played Aizen, well played.

Okay, I won't lie, last week when Aizen started saying everything Ichigo had done was playing into his hand, I wasn't very impressed. But now I have to say, I'm kind of loving how Kubo's subverting the shounen trope of having the opponents get progressively stronger and stronger as the hero does by saying that Aizen was pulling the strings the whole time.

Also: FUCK YES, ISSHIN-PAPA.

aizen and isshin are gay lovers. mothers death was not real and just info implanted into ichigos mind to shadow the fact that he has two queer dads. imo.




aizen, isshin and ichigos mom were all chums? fuck buddys? threesomes? who is the real dad? dun dun dun.


Lol.

Bleach is the slowest piece of shit I'm reading and I'll add that Kubo is a master in the art of the empty pannel. Seriously it's been like what, more than a year that they are in the fucking fake karakura town?

Oooh the whole chapter I kept thinking "What a good manipulative bastard Aizen is". If its true or not, whatever he says makes them shake. I'm starting to think he's a great antagonist, still, I think the 'omg I planned everything from the beginning' is crap.

Also, I wanted Aizen to tell him directly but I guess Isshin appearing was cooler >:D

Panels may be a waste but I love how Kubo plays with them.

The "bad guy had everything(to a god like perfection) planned out" is the second lamest plot device barely beating out the "oh it was all just a dream" plot device. Hopefully with this the pace will pick up because they've been playing grab ass in the fake city for a year and half now.

Hopefully, less talk from Aizen next week and Isshin does battle

Hopefully we'll find out exactly who and what Isshin was in Soul Society. Personally, I'm banking on him being the Kenpachi of the Turn Back the Pendulum arc who was too lazy to go to the meetings. But I'm also hoping he gives Aizen an ass-kicking first.
.


You know that would also explain his missing powers, after Zaraki "killed" the previous captain, he lost all his powers and first got them back 20 years or so later.

I don't usually care to defend Bleach, but do you really expect an explanation on how he got there for a CLIFFHANGER arrival? That's what the next chapter is for. Besides he's seemingly best buds with Urahara who I assume would have no problem sending Isshin there.

I am soooo happy Isshin appeared. He seems to play a big part in all this so I highly doubt he will go down easily or even fight right right away. Maybe things can finally start moving again. For the first time in a while I'm looking forward to the next chapter~

Lol at everyone that like the so called 'plot twist' in this chapter. This is what we call a plot device, when the author didn't know where he's going to with his series and came up with this bs.

Kubo: OH SHIT- I've made ton of plot holes in my own series! D: How can I cover all the loopholes, pointless battle and ties everything in my series? >.<

*re-read volume 1-current chapter*

*skimmed through wasted panel and chapters*

*Aizen plans everything is a nice twist*

*wrote and draw Chapter 397 *

*waits for fans reaction*

chronarose said:
OMG, this is BY FAR the most epic plot twist in Bleach EVER!
i was seriously thinking about dropping this series about... ehhhh 2 months ago, but than it started getting progressively better so out of blunt curiosity o kept reading, than BANG!
this AMAZING plot twist
i was REALLY wondering why, why, why at the beginning of this series
i mean the odds that ichigo gets attacked by a hallow as a normal human when hees never seen any before in his life is slim, the odds that rukia would give her powers away like that... slim

now it all MAKES SENSE! this manga has gone to a 7 to a 10 in my opinion
everything is not connected and i feel content
:3


Just as keikaku ;)

Plan B in case no one buying the 'plot twist'

*draw fan favorite character in Bleach in the cliffhanger because I don't know what to use him/her for yet*

*waits for fans reaction*

I can't believe it but Bleach is getting good again! With Isshin showing up I will no longer be bored with this arc.


Ousto said:
omg

Right at the part where Aizen says that he knew about Ichigo from birth, I was just about ready to drop this series.

BUT THEN MY FAVORITE CHARACTER SHOWED UP 8D

So I'll be sticking around for a while more, lolol. Next chapters better not disappoint.

Alright, I felt I handled most of Aizen's bullshit hax reasoning pretty maturely. But the part where he suggested that it was even his doing that Ichigo managed to fight Renji, Kenpachi, and Byakuya RIGHT WHEN their power levels were about equal, I call unforgivable bullshit.

I can't take this shit story serious any more. The only good part of this chapter was Isshin showing up at the end. And Aizen is going to WTFHAX him too, and Isshin's eyes will get all wide and be useless after some fighting that makes it LOOK like Isshin is winning. I swear, Aizen's gonna end up being Isshin's dad and Ichigo's grandfather at this rate.

All bullshit.



So you took a story where kids can fly, throw energy blast, and leave their bodies without dying serious? That in itself makes me laugh.

And it makes me laugh that you completely missed the point of his post where he pointed out the incoherency of Kubo's already pitiful writing skills.
It's like in this chapter, Isshin is a shiny key that Kubo dangles and shakes in front of his readers to draw their attention away from how fucking absurd of a revelation Aizen's "plan" was.

I loved this chapter, the only chapter that has gotten me "oooh, I wonder what happens next..." In a LONG while.

I was sort of waiting for Aizen to tell Ichigo he is his mother / real father (the first one was a passing thought, really).

I wannt to see what Ichigo IS... couse we all know he's special... but... I want to finally know why!!

a brief moment of oh-this-was-actually-good after 40 chapters of mediocre bs. Though there were dozens of predictions for this.

Gin is still missing (probably fapping while watching the omnipotent Aizen). And this doesn't make the previous battle-royal any less laughable.

I guess Tite realised he needed some plot thrown in after all these monthsl.
If he planned this from the beginning hats down, but the explanation that he was thinking about how to fill in the big BIG holes in the plot during the previous weeks and came up with this is more plausible.
He had plenty of free time, after all drawing these chapters should take 2 hours top....

Exactly what I thought. One page of Isshin doesn't make me instantly forget that the previous 18 pages was filled with Kubo's attempt to cover his plot holes. As I said last week, Kubo shouldn't have tried to establish a connection between Aizen and Ichigo. It just wasn't going to work.
