^haha I agree, acting protective over content you stole anyways is retarded.
Good chapter. Byakuya’s “death” was elegantly handled. I am really a fan of the way Kubo implies textures and brittleness with his lines.
Ichigo with that alpha-counter psimitar “that’s enough for now” techno virus on the neck hope he has more than 24 hours lol
(Why did so many people, myself included, seriously call this? Sigh.)
…Welp, I’m taking a “break” from Bleach’s stupidity again.
Someone P.M. me when Ichigo fusion dances with Aizen.
Competent.
Pretty much. Also, “starting to”?
It’s not like Mary Sues have to be bad though. It’s just that they usually are. In fact, that Bleach fanfiction I linked to a couple months ago–Hogyoku ex Machina–has Ichigo as pretty much his Mary Sue self from the beginning but still manages to be entertaining for all the right reasons. This is unlike Bleach where most our enjoyment nowadays comes from laughing at all of its many fuck-ups and making bad Aizen-related jokes.
Haha. You know things are bad when Rodimus is actually mad.
What. [/no, you’re not allowed an opinion different from mine]
I’ll agree that Byakuya’s death was drawn nicely since it’s not like anyone has ever said that Kubo is a shitty artist when it comes to (non-background) visuals. I’ll also agree that it was “elegantly handled” in as much as Kubo actually used subtly for once and his overuse of decompression actually “worked” there.
Too bad Byakuya’s death was completely fucking pointless for at least a couple of reasons. Chief among them being As Nodt suddenly becoming an extraordinary idiot for some reason and trying to literally jump on Yamamoto despite being quite competent few chapters earlier, being a distance fighter and pretty much everyone knowing how horrifically powerful Yamamoto is.
Byakuya’s death is just cheap drama and, despite liking him, that’s why I don’t even feel anything now that he’s actually “dead”.
blahblahblah
Ichigo being part quincy might explain his massive amount of Reiatsu.
This manga is so ass.
The only good thing to ever come of it were:

That shit GOT ME to watch Bleach, because I kept hoping and praying it would turn into The World Ends With You-esque shit.
Seriously, why did like NONE of the cool shit in this opening ever happen?
Why did Ichigo never stand in a middle of the street and contemplate life, why did we never see everyone’s full fashion sense, why did we never see anyone dress in clothes half as well designed as the ones in that opening, why did we never see anyone tag shit with spray cans.
I would have BEEN PERFECTLY FINE if Bleach was about a bunch of teenagers hanging around town, tagging shit, and going to “Soul Society” to fight for their street turf and everyone slowly growing up.
C’mon Tite Kubo, give me a fucking spin off with that premise.
Hell, I’d even be okay if the name of Ichigo’s gang was called “The shinigami”, and their first major rival gang were a group of masked teens from the next town over called “the vizards”.
Seriously nigga, just design clothes and shit.
I would buy those “behind the ear” headphones Rukia was rocking in that one chapter of bleach, and I would rock everything Chad wears, just let me import that shit.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I am convinced Tite Kubo is just doing Bleach until he gets enough money to start his own fashion company without loans.
Fucking heed my words, by the time I’m 24 niggas will be wearing some tight shit from Kubo.
where the fuck is Kon?
Yea there was no reason to have byakuya get killed by a guy who got one shitted like a scrub by yama.
Sent from the next dimension using saiyantalk…
sleeping in ichigo’s bed prob
i feel like that doesnt even need explanation
It wasn’t the next power up in que…
This chapter just made me lulz over and over at the trolling
Tite Kubo should become a fashion designer, no joke.
so much crybaby in this thread
I find this so appropriate for this thread.
I really want to know what illusion Kubo is under
Told you. Aizen is writing his own story. All part of the plan.
(Heh at the picture. I suppose Aizen jokes can still be funny some of the time.)
I’m not sure how pointing out Kubo’s stupid decisions, especially as of late, amounts to “being a crybaby” when most of the complaints people have are rather legitimate. To me, “being a crybaby” would just be constantly complaining about where the manga should have gone instead of where it is, regardless of the quality of the present. That or feeling that author “owes” you something. It’s not like any of us feel Kubo owes us anything, especially everyone in this thread is basically pirating his “work”.
Can’t we just strike a happy medium where we’re allowing to complain about fuck-ups but actually can appreciate times when Bleach doesn’t fuck up without labeling each other anything? …Oh, who am I kidding? Humans are all bad that.
Regardless, I’ll try to be “positive” about the latest chapter if that’s what you want. For instance, despite all my complaints, I have to admit that Juha Bach has kinda grown on me since he seems to actually be competent (at present) and even though his design is essentially “Zangetsu - shades + bitching German facial + Kaiser-esque outfit”, it actually rather works. That’s he’s seemingly no-sense in a manga where pretty much everyone explains their powers against people they’re trying to kill is also a plus.
Still, he doesn’t nearly make up for the rest of the chapter, especially since even Kubo seems like he could have done something interesting with Brainwashed!Ichigo, especially with Zero Division still waiting in the wings but instead chose to forfeit that because (Aizen told him that) apparently Ichigo needed yet another bullshit power-up (so that Aizen can eventually eat him).
Oh well.
You know, I watched the first Bleach opening again, and SpaceOut was right…none of that cool shit ever happened lol. Ichigo never fought armies of shinigami in a forest, and the cast never wore those cool ass clothes. 
That opening wrote a check the manga/anime couldn’t cash. Such lost potential.
Why I’m so mad.
If the 1st opening was like the manga, I’d be okay with that, and I would have never watched it, but that opening gave the wrong impression of the anime.
It Dead Island’ed me before Dead Island was even a thing.
As dumb as this manga is I still have more genuine fun and laughs from reading it than most things in any medium
I wish more of the shitty anime/manga I’ve seen/read were half as entertaining as bleach
Well those clothes also show up in a lot of those promo pages within the manga. Blame Kubo for being such a badass fashion designer.
My build is similar to Chad’s, and I wouldn’t mind the clothes he wears.
It’s really good stuff.
I’m not slim enough for the Ichigo and Uryuu shit.
I said it before when this topic was brought up a while back, I’ll say it again.
I want that damn Hollow Mask Hoodie!
