Bleach Manga thread (SPOILERS)

I still want to know why Kubo played up the hollow ranks (Gillian, Adjuchas, Vasto Lorde) and then let the Arrancars die like ants. Seriously.

Man it must be weird when you go out to do pest control in your garden. Do all your ants have flashbacks and character development (I use that term lightly...) stretch out the process of you killing them when you step on them?

Maybe, if I remember correctly insects have brains. They could be having all these little instances of life flashing before their eyes as the insecticide claims them, and we would never be wiser.

But I digress, you saw how ridiculously quickly the top three went down when Kubo decided to bring Aizen into the field. Starrk didn't even bring a single captain down. Barragan had a badass ability but he got pwnt. Vasto lordes are supposed to be at captain level, and becoming an Arrancar supposedly amplifies their power, yet they get cut up without achieving anything. Sure, they were outnumbered, but the heroes downing them all with NO CASUALTIES? Kyoraku and Shinsui didn't even have to pull off Bankai. Kubo takes these things too far.

Bleach has a lot of holes in it, I agree.

Ulquirra or whatever had closure when he died.

Of course, no one else in the top three did LOL. If you watched the anime they gave a backstory for Arc 3, the chick, I -THINK-.

Since when have good guys ever got any casualties? It's really weird that one stab kills a bad guy, but enemies can slice good guy into two and yet there's always some hillbilly who heals them.

There's no competition on who was the best of the 10 Arrancars

On other news, WHAT THE BUTT is Mangastream doing with the release dates? For some reason it seems they are releasing chapters when they feel like it.

I think they got the chapters earlier cause they had a week off to get them translated or something o_o

I dunno, it's possible that Bleach's ratings were down, and Kubo was pushed to finish the arc up ASAP. Though, the ratings are still going down anyways... I don't think Bleach can last another 10 years.

I want another fight like Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra.
That was, surprisingly, a fine example of a shonen fight.

Wasn't there some interesting plot including Urahara? Kubo should progress with that.

o wait

progress=/=bleach

logical plot=/=bleach

Fixed.

By what standards?

New chapter.
More of a story progression chapter.

the story moved more than it normally does! success!

I cant wait to see all this animated. Such a turn of events. Also why does the bad guy not want to be exposed? Does he have a double life? Is he suppose to be dead?

Well, they said he killed their first prospect. Maybe he's a wanted man?

By what standards?

By the standards of it kept me entertained rather than "get it over with already".

I agree guys the story moved well, or moreso than normally.

Well, they said he killed their first prospect. Maybe he's a wanted man?

He's probably some pencil necked human who likes to keep his school studying intact, or maybe he has some family that he can't let know about his powers.

Called it now.

Btw. LOL at whatshiface's eye magically not have been hit and all he has is a SMALL scar.

The pineapple are you complaining about? They don't control when they get copies of shonen jump, and they release them as soon as they finish scanlating them.
That week where they appeared on a friday was because it was Golden Week in japan - there shouldn't have been ANY shonen jump manga that week, but the week afters issue got leaked early. Hence there was then no chapters on the Wednesday.

Also, chapter caught me off guard, plot development blindsided me

Holy pomegranate, two hit combo of plot development.

I have a feeling that urahara and isshin were preparing on giving Ichigo's powers back anyways by sac-ing the "mystery" shinigami (I bet it's Rukia)

I think doing it the fullbring way is better though, because iirc they mentioned when he gets his powers back, he also is able to use fullbring, so he can absorb other fullbring abilities or something (relieve them of their "curse") and be 100x more powerful.
