Sado did something in that arc?
The beginning of those arcs were about the respective characters… which last around 5-10 chapters when Kubo runs out of material he planned and goes on to make the rest up.
He feigned like he’d be relevant, then remembered he was still a jobber. Uryu will be the same.
(Basically. All those supposed character arcs, save Rukia since she had the excuse of being imprisoned for its entirety, basically just reminded us how those characters are all next to useless compared to Ichigo…who himself constantly has problems every arc despite getting more than the usual allotment of Shonen power-ups.)
Given where adult swim’s Bleach is at now, the more I think about it, the more it’s even more blatantly obvious that Kubo had no idea what the hell Chojiro’s Bankai was by the “Winter War” part over Fake Karakura town and that he likely only pulled it out of his ass after Chojiro already died. If Chojiro’s Bankai was so strong in its infancy that it was able to supposed scar a younger Yamamoto, then it’s utterly idiotic that he was left to “guard the walls” when it was the pillars that keeping the construct anyway. Additionally, I don’t remember him doing crap aside from letting the Vizards in. Did he even do anything else?
I don’t remember Aizen or Wonderweiss or Gin or even Hollowfied Tousen pushing his shit in. It’s like he just…disappeared after that.
Meh. I can’t say I’m surprised and at least the guy got to escape Bleach once and for all. The 1st Division seems to be lucky like that.
P.S. It’s also “obvious” since it makes no sense for the Aizen’s, Gin’s and Tousen’s old divisions to still be Captain-less if Chojiro was seemingly the only vice captain besides fucking Renji to have a Bankai. Yamamoto couldn’t have “loaned him out” until Kira or Hisagi or (snicker) Momo got their Bankai or at least got their shit together? [/still complaining about Kubo not thinking things through even though he should be used to it]
Spirit King is probably some epic beast thing that most be protected at all cost probably.
It probably controls the souls of SS so it is died, they will probably be big consequences.
I recall in the filler Zanpakuto arc, they made fun of the fact that Chojiro was basically a nobody despite his high position. I don’t think he’s ever done anything except show up in the occasional panel. Suddenly we’re supposed to believe he was some important character. Maybe to the characters he is, but to the readers? Nah.
We went most of the series not even knowing his damn name let alone noticed by anyone in the series.
I feel bad he was killed but when you realize he wasn’t really important to begin with, it’s hard to feel real sympathy for the guy. Even more salt to the wound when they gave him a small ass flashback in a matter of a few pages.
meanwhile folks like Kira get jobbed with no backstory or character development.
I remember Ichigo knocking him out in one punch.
I’m still waiting for a funeral for the old man.
Or, in before a giant phoenix flies by SS and young Yamma comes back and he reveals that he is immortal
We all know he’s going to come back. It won’t even be surprising. I’d go so far as to call anyone who doesn’t see it coming obtuse.
i read a rundown of the kubo interview…
so ichigo is related to to Kaien again?
I can see Isshin being a distant relative who left to join Squad Zero, also Isshin hooking up with a Quincy would be a reason for the Kukakku house to have fallen from status like Byakuya suggested way back in the beginning.
Well can’t dragon boobs use her rejection of reality to fix all those bankais?
Spoiler tag the obvious, please.
Still cant believe kenpachi was perfected by a fake juha…
The royal guard is the best thing to happen to Bleach in a long time. I am a bit disappointed how the all look like anime cliche’s though. The fat woman on the left looks like a one peice character too.
Do you think each royal guard member is as strong as CC?
We all know that Orihime can’t use her powers when it would affect Kubo’s weak ass plot. Like, she could have easily revived that substitute shinigami, but nah.
I doubt it. If I remember correctly Yama said he’s been the CC for so long, because in a 1000 years there hasn’t been anyone as strong as him. And judging by their looks, they are not older than him. I think they all have superhaxx shikai/bankai or hopefully, they have team synergy.
But come to think of it. If the zero squad is down in SS, doesn’t this leave the Soul King unprotected?
Wouldn’t that be convenient for someone that wants to assassinate him?
Maybe a bit too convenient…
It’s almost as if someone planned it…
Troll… Aizen
That makes too much sense tho…so yea. Prob not likely unfortunately
Sent from the next dimension using Pandora’s box…
Juha is just as old as Yama and they look different in age. Looks have nothing to do with age in Bleach.
Yea…Looks are just random it seems.
