NO sir, are YOu kidding me? The End?

The latest arc raised a whole lot of questions and plot strings, not to mention that it also introduced the possible final villain (Spirit King).

Ending manga in the middle of the story is not good.

Yes because obviously a comedy manga about pirates governs the manga industry....

So, this is like, Kubo starting a new series, based on the same theme, without having to think of a title or new characters?
...It could have been a nice clean ending =/

I like how nothing happened in this chapter. It's really different from the previous chapters, where nothing happened either. Bleach is going back to it's roots? I suppose that's correct. 20 boring pages where nothing happens- sounds like classic bleach.
Seriously, what is up with this chapter? Are we supposed to be drooling over new haircuts? How could this possibly be interesting? I don't even know what happened in the end there. Did that dude steal Ichigo's seal-thing or did he have his own? Really disappointing restart.

Another great chapter. ANd now Bleach does a timeskip and does it in a way better style than Naruto did.

Characters actually reflect and grow from what happened.

Ichigo's almost sarcastic remarks about having no power, Mizuiro continuing to be a mistery, Ishida/Ichigo role reversal, etc.


Why I was so stupid???? I completely forgot through all this time the mistery of the badge.

Obviously so far only Ukitake knows its true purpose. Ishida had his doubts when he saw it, but everyone just glossed over it...and NONE of shinigami ever knew about anything like "representative badge" or what it is for and dismissed it.

Now its obvious that the Badge has a role to play and is more important than everyone knew. Ukitake had his own reasons for giving it to Ichigo.

I'm pretty sure that the steal of the bag was staged somehow in order to test Ichigo

There are a lot of wild things that can affect the plot in this arc (Mayuri's revenge and HM research, Ukitake's reasons, badge's purpose, new guys motives, etc)


That and Ichigo gets stabbed in the chest AGAIN.

OK, we're starting over. I'll bite. But this doesn't keep me from comparing it to Yu Yu Hakusho. I'm optimistic nonetheless. It was interesting to see the world rotate without Ichigo's help for once in a LONG, LONG time. Kinda weird.


Immediately thought of Sensui from YYH when I see this.

Anyway, everything else was fairly decent. It has the good ol' Bleach feel that I used to love.

Someting like this really happened? I can't remember since it's been what? 2 or 3 years?

And why does everyone think that new guy looks like Aizen? I think they look nothing alike apart from the glossed back hair. That guy just looks ridiculous and lame, already hate him. I mean I already hated him when I only saw his back on the cover. I thought he was some filler/movie character but then he showed up in the actual story >_<

Anyway, let's see how this all turns out.

I sort of enjoyed the chapter, it sort of gave a feeling that it could of ended right then, or in a chapter or 2 (of course I know it isn't ending yet)

I want to see Rukia come back, and it's good to see Ichigo isn't 100% normal, because I really don't like that he lost his powers, and I don't want to see him living a normal life, which he has always wanted.

I guess I just like seeing Ichigo being strong, perhaps even becoming the strongest, and staying that way, idk.

Enjoyable chapter to read, I would of preferred if it ended, but I guess I can keep reading for a couple more years :P

Well, Bleach is going on hold until Ichigo inevitably gets his powers back. Or new powers. Regardless, it's gonna happen. And then I'll just read everything between now and then en masse.

So anyway, Kubo went lazy-style and suddenly the art is Wat? Okay, yeah fine, it's been deteriorating for a while, but still щ(゚Д゚щ)
Also, that stuff about blabla his body is trained and honed for battler etc.etc., wasn't just his spiritual body, not his physical one? =3=
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.

I'm sorry, but unless Kubo has Ichigo defeat a badguy by reading erotic lovestory novel, promise Ishida to die together or go on a quest for armadillo penis, there's no way Kubo can assassinate the characters as much as Kishi did with Naruto manga.

Anyway, let's see how this all turns out.



For starters, Ukitake gave him the badge in private, AFTER he discovered about Ichigos hybrid stuff and possibly something else.
AS for other part:
http://manga.bleachexile.com/bleach-chapter-182-page-14.html

Notice Ishida's reaction?

Then we have Ichigo encountering Afro-shinigami (just before the first sword-clash with shinji) - Ichigo shows him the badge and Afro-Shinigami has no idea at all on what that is. The similar scene latter happens with Renji.

Then there was the whole paralel between isshin's charm and the badge. A fact that they both are seemingly insignificant items, having bigger significance than they seem would further that parallel even more.


As for the new guy, he reminds me more of Masaru Kato from Gantz

I almost never post on Bleach forums (too many people) But another arc... hmm... there are so many options I almost wish that I could time skip and read this all at once. True to the law of conservation of detail, that damn badge has come back. I wonder when urahara's gonna show up...

Also I think everyone thinks that guy looks like Aizen because our brains have had his image in almost every chapter for the past year. Its understandable. Tite Kubo is probably gonna get better at drawing him non aizen like when he gets him out of his system.

Ignoring the obvious Tite ball sucking by some in the thread.
I enjoyed this chapter, been waiting for the badge to come back into focus again, but that title was such a damn mouthful, like Tite's balls.
So someone else has a badge, other than Ichi, interessant.

Other than that, tiny character design upgrades, Ichi saying how much he wants a normal life which he won't keep up, lucky fella. Mizuiro as mysterious as ever. Hope Tite decides to make it deceitfully long in the upcoming chapters.

I also looked forward to this. I like yuzu, karin, and tatsuki's new hairstyles. The chapter reminds you why bleach became popular in the first place. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this new guy doesn't turn out to be a Sensui rip-off.

Instead it would have the gotei 13 getting pwned again then all of sudden Ichigo shows up, get stabbed in the chest, gain a massive powerup all while giving the vibe that he completely forgot why he was fighting in the first place and that he's only fighting the guy is because he is in front of him. Then after the guy is half dead all of sudden he falls sorry and probably would have Orihime heal him or something.

Tite doesn't need a timeskip to assassinate his characters, he has 2 year long arcs for that.

My "assassinate" was referring to the total destruction of the character's worth and being, not literal killing.

It won't stay changed for long though, no doubt before long we'll have our good old endless, crappy fights again.
The reason why he gave a timeskip was to 1) copy OP. 2) make the captains train so the power ups "aren't asspull". 3) give a false sense that things have changed back to normal after a year+
I'm pretty pissed that he's just ignoring the whole Isshin issue for now. Fucker.
