Aizen's already damn powerful and now a powerup? At this rate... we might need Ichigo or someone to evolve into a SuperSaiyan or something to beat him. Kamehameha!!!!!

Bleach is more... and mooore... and even moore boring than before.
What's with Kubo? Run out of good plot? Now everyone has ultra-super-mega-deadly force to overhealm everything in matter of seconds. Of course, they won't do it. Not before talking and little cat-walk. Little =def. 3-10 chapters. Ichigo! Stop acting like a puppet and do something smart once: transform into your badass form at the begining and get rid of one oponent. Nobody will pay you for standing and looking shocked.

13 km! 500! over 9000! this is the most fabulous Bleach's landmark ever. Even self-claimed-almighty aracarr 0.

The Gin/Rangiku bits were beautiful ♥ Kubo excels at tragic relationships.
Also lol @ everyone not getting the point of Rangiku being in this chapter or saying it's a waste of panels. You do realize how connected those two characters are, right?

nothing happened.... Isshin's fight with Aizen would be more interesting as it seems he actually did some dmg to Aizen and probly isn't affected by Aizen's sword. really though it's over so fast with pretty much nothing happening each chapter.

You are such a fanboy.

Nothing much happened really except maybe making Gin's bankai look a little better but i was still hoping for something more.
We were left with a cliffhanger about Aizen but really the suggestion didn't seem very nice to me. What are they planning? Making Aizen go Vasto Lord or became something completely new? How much more Godly can this guy get?

Alright, I kinda wanna see a raw. The part where Gin says "Kaminari isn't the longest zanpakutou. It's the fastest." I want to see if he actually says "Kaminari isn't JUST the longest zanpakutou." Because for fuck's sake, if there's one longer than 13 kilometers....

Any way, I'll repeat the sentiments of a friend who doesn't have a MAL account because I totally agree.

"WHAT THE FUCK, AIZEN GOT HIS ASS KICKED....OFF SCREEN!? Fucking Kubo Tite really does hate us."

I, too, want DESPERATELY to see what would make Aizen, of all characters, say, "I am at the end of my rope."

And fuck, Isshin really must be powerful as hell. Ichigo's bankai couldn't scratch Aizen, and several captains and vaizards also failed. However, Isshin is not even in SHIKAI (at least from how his zanpakutou looks in the second to last page). That's exciting stuff. That means we have some hope that even when Aizen reveals what kind of godhax the Hougyouku can give him, we might still get to see Isshin fight and do well for awhile before getting wtfslapped aside.

Usually they explain how their trump card work in details, just for the lulz, when they could use the surprise effect. But for once, Gin's explanations were used to lure Ichigo, which is a fairly clever move.
Except toward the end, we didn't waste our time with useless tchatching and for once the fight was quite fluid.

A good chapter, I hope the next fights will be like this.

Good point. Maybe he got kicked out/left Soul Society because he was too powerful? I.e. he was so powerful he risked ripping the fabric of space-time or whatever the hell it is that the hollows hide in. That would of course explain why Aizen is so interested in Ichigo. The only question then is Ichigo's hollow.

well when you're writing for your shonen audience, you should give them what they want, and that's not some kind of subtle beautifully tragic relationship even though its admittedly more interesting than anything 1337god there has to offer in terms of story.

You guys forget that Aizen was already tired and that Isshin seems to not have the disadvantage of falling victim to illusions. His obviously stronger than your average captain but when the vizards and captains attacked him Aizen used illusion tricks and most of them never even used there bankai.

Isshin's show of power just proves that he was most likely part of Zero Division back in the day. He probably left when he met Ichigo's human mother to start a family. His powers seeped away from non-usage and now he's back to beat shit up.

For a guy that caught a bankai with his bare hand you'd think the author would at least show you how he got beat.

Anyway who wants to take bets that Ichigo will beat Gin, but before the deathblow Matsumoto will jump in front of it? It seems just cliche enough that it almost has to be done.

People that powerful do not get exiled.

They get placed in that prison or get killed.

The rest of the pages where Kubo showing he fails at drawing swordfights. I'm sure this will look really neat in the anime. But in the manga... It just doesn't work.

*Rasies eyebrow* Okay, I just read the latest chapter again and you totally lost me. How exactly does Kubo fail at drawing swordfights?


Well it's just my personal preference but I'll try to explain.

There's no emotion in this fight. It's just large big panels of people taking the same poses and Ichigo doing reaction faces. Especially the panels showing just a part of a sword etc. It feels wasted and Kubo could have put so much more detail into this fight.

While Ichigo's facial reactions or anyone else's never really bothered me, you do have a point with characters doing some of the same poses. In fact, I remembered one instance where in one of the "Turn Back the Pendulum" chapters, there was a scene where Urahara performed a sneak attack behind Aizen's back and Aizen showed a shocked expression. I believe it was chapter 10. Now I check to 50 chapters or so later, I see the same, EXACT poses, except Ulquiorra does Urahara's pose performing a sneak attack behind Ichigo!

mulderman said:
Like I said, this is good material to work with when creating an anime fight. Page 9 was a great start, but after that Kubo went back to his usual style. I mean how many times have we seen Ichigo flying towards the reader with his sword angeled to the lower right?

Or the old, Counter a attack, losing sight of the enemy, then cutting to a reaction shot while the enemy appears from behind.

90% of Kubo's sword fights go this way, which like I said might be his style and some of you enjoy that, but I'm not one of those ^^;;

I actually noticed those repetitive poses myself. Kinda makes you wonder if Kubo has ever taken or even observed any Kendo classes. Or at the very least watched enough Samurai films. to experiment with different poses. Because as cool as those poses are, recycling the same gestures and poses over and over again does show a lack of variety.

Hmmm.... can't say that I hate it, finally some more action in last few chapters. All in all I would probably dump Bleach long ago but it became part of my daily life ;d Every time on Friday before going out to school I was reading Bleach and Naruto. Now i just can't stop ;d
Anyway again - finally some action and i hope it would develop in something even more exciting ;]

Either that or... maybe... he just chose to leave... maybe... i don't know xP But there's a great possibility that he was in the Zero Division since we don't know much about it, and the only member of whom we know that is/was a member is that previous12th Division Captain, before Hat n' Clogs xD, 100 years ago, so...
I guess we'll just have to wait and see since the next chapter, hopefully, will be focused on Aizen and Isshin's battle

I like the chapter really much, Gin VS. Ichigo is a pretty interesting fight. Read from the "Turn the Pendulum back" Arc till the newest chapter today, I enjoyed them very much. Aizens still a Bitch but at least Bleach has not gotten as bad as Naruto.
