| Well, people were kind of right about the ending being underwhelming. Although, in my opinion, I feel like the rest of the series makes up for it. Not sure how I feel about Ichigo getting with titty monster santen kesshun, but I sort of see how if Rukia got with Ichigo, Renji would be all alone. As much as I'm quite picky about epilogues where it shows you where the characters are in the future and I tend to like things left open-ended, since there IS an epilogue anyways, I do naturally wonder how so many other characters are doing. I wish they could have been included. People ;ike Urahara, Yoruichi, Grimmjow, and more, but supposedly those newer light novels actually wrap up quite a few of the loose ends, so I'll probably check those out eventually. Probably not for a bit though, because I'm still only on episode 80 of the anime... so I'm quite behind. (No, I'm not skipping filler.) Minus that ending...great manga. Because of it's length, I might not reread it anytime soon, but I'll probably do it eventually because I enjoyed the series. |

Shiv1408 said: Where are chapters after 686 . I mean it has 705 chapters but i cant seem to find others Some chapters were subdivided into smaller chapters (Ch. 315.1, 315.2 etc.) so while 686 is the final chapter, it is technically the 705th |

| Um, well, damn... There goes Bleach. I wish the fight was longer, but Kubo was not given time for this. Overall a pretty cute chapter. So its IchigoxOrihime and RenjixRukia (RenRuki was a bit sudden but its fine) Kazui is damn cute. He took out that little ball of Yhwach's power, Ichika looks so brattingly cute. She is a combination of her parents. |

| So this was it, what a long journey! It didn’t take me 15 years to finish Bleach like others, but 74 volumes are still a great amount, and it took me a while to buy all of them to begin with, due reprint issues in my country. I heard a lot of bad opinions about Bleach and many people discouraged me from reading it, considering it a total waste of time. Some people love it, others consider it one of the worst mangas out there. I rate battle shonen based on how much they entertain me, and can get over one or two plot holes. Bleach entertained be most of the time greatly, except the Fullbringer arc which felt like a filler to me, even though some character appear briefly in the last arc too. Bleach has also many, many plot holes and issues here and there, but I have to say, most of them didn’t bugged me that much. I overall enjoyed it, but as many already said, the pace is a problem in this series. I appreciate the fact Kubo gave every character some “screen time”, but some fight were way to long and some parts really felt stretched to me. The more the story reached its end, the more it got crazy and confusing, and not necessarily in a good way. Can’t say I liked the ending, it felt rushed, but I read Kubo was being cut off, so he had to rush things. I think he himself would have liked to give more aftermath chapters and more explanations and whereabouts of other characters, like Urahara an Yoruichi. I hope she is safe. I have a hard time giving it an 8, it feels more like a 7.5 to me. But since that’s not possible and 8 feels to much, I’m gonna go with a 7. |
| Oh man, so I'm finally here. WHAT. A. RIDE. I see that there's a lot of criticism about TYBW arc, but I personally absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed the Squad Zero and the Stern Ritters. Plus getting to see old charas and so many plot twists, it just won me over (Especially Tsukishima, what an amazing dude. I can't even count the times he has helped me, the absolute bro.) I DO think that the ending was rushed, it was like hitting Yhwach and bam! 10 years later. Like... what happened? lol... Did Bazz-B and Jugram actually die? (I really like them, I had hopes). Plus, there are soooo many characters left out from the "where is everyone now" that it made me sad. Now... Aizen having the last words (of wisdom, mind you)... completely unexpected. He's my absolute favorite Bleach character and I was thrilled to see him again. He's the best. Hope he gets released soon lol #FreeAizen So Orihime won lol... That surprised me, I was absolutely sure that Ichigo/Rukia was endgoal, but what do you know. I'm not even mad cause I'm not really a shipper myself. So yeah... Bleach is not perfect at all, but I guess is my guilty pleasure because I love it so much I became a fan of it! (for the manga and for Brave Souls). I know I have a couple of things to read further, so I'll do that. And man... I can't wait to see TYBW animated!! I'm so hyped!!! |

| This was a 9/10 for me. Read the all chapters in a week in a half. The only disappointing thing for me was it did seem a bit rushed at the end. Where and what happened to Urahara, his posse, Yoruichi, Ichigo Dad, etc? I think it was meant for the reader to assume everyone was fine, but I wanted to see they were fine. I was so sad that Yachiru died in the war, I know Zaraki feels empty without her. Overall a happy ending. |
| Well finally there it goes, the last chapter. Though glad I finally reached the summit. Have always heard how underwhelming and incredibly rushed Bleach's ending was, though I can agree on the rushed part for a little, but for me it was no way near underwhelming or some down-bad conclusion,as we know the author was forced to do it this way, so have to be thoughtful there too. Still if it was for some 20 odd chapters more, few things could've been expanded much more in detail. Like we never knew what exactly happened with Urahara and Yoruichi after their fight with that Sternritter, which I strongly hope the upcoming adaptation of TYBW should work upon. Also I wasn't into shippings in this series at all, so couldn't care less who Ichigo ended up with. Fine with Orihime and would've been too if it was Rukia. Was a cool read from the start to the very end, and I guess one of those few series for me where i have a liking to almost all of the characters. 8/10. |
| - Great character designs & art, that’s apart from lacking backgrounds if we’re being honest. - The large cast of characters were mostly enjoyable, but even those that I liked had moments that left me scratching my head at their stupidity or were completely wasted by Kubo. Even when Ichigo gets “he is the chosen one” powerups and one shots his enemies, he still fights with the mentality he had in the early chapters as if his brain was incapable of developing; panicking and screaming like a banshee. - In general, really fun power system & powers to see in action, but the powerscaling in Bleach might be one of the worst in all of shounen. Once we got past the SS arc I realized I needed to turn my brain off for pretty much every fight that occurred. Good guy is winning the fight, bad guy does something that puts him over the edge, nevermind since the good guy had something else up in his sleeve making the enemy fodder in the grand scheme of things. I’m sure Kubo and his editors had a rough idea of where they were going after Hueco Mundo, but most of the story developments felt like Kubo throwing shit at the wall to see what will stick. Was he aware that endless death fakeouts and cliffhanger chapter ends become tiresome after a while and lose their overall impact? Anyway, even with my many complaints around Naruto and One Piece to an extent, Bleach is by far the worst of the overhyped 3. Gege might’ve taken inspiration from Kubo for Jujutsu Kaisen, but he’s by far a better and more effective writer. I’ll cleanse my palette with One Punch Man. |

| It was a good read. The story was absolutely terrible with all the plot conveniences and too much favouritism towards a few characters by the mangaka. So many loose plot devices. But all the characters and fights were super cool and badass and beautifully drawn and executed well. Thats what drove me to keep reading. (yeah, there were some cringe fights in between). So many back to back awesome fights that there wasn't much need of a deep plot. Also after reading this I came to realize how slow the pace of anime was. And some part of the anime that I considered canon were actually fillers/anime canon. |

| And with that bleach concludes it's story. The ending was good imo. Ichigo and Inoue are now married, and have a son named Kazui. Renji and Rukia have a daughter named Ichika. Uryu is now a hospital director, Sado is a famous boxer and even the remaining characters are all living their lives peacefully now. I had a fun time reading this story, all that's left right now is watching the anime!!! I also thank the author for writing such a great manga. It was entertaining. And I had a lot of fun!!!! |

| @BuiltforSinpai I know this is a nearly three year old comment at this point, but Yachiru didn't die. She was Kenpachi's Nozarashi. |

| @GodLikesMudkips You're right... I totally missed that when I initially read Bleach. Thank you for pointing that out! |
