Man, Kishimoto sure explained the hell out of that one: "Shut up, you can't be Madara. Also, get lost." ^^

Which reminds me: will we ever know why Obito manipulated the Mizukage in the shadows for some time, now? Ah, well!

Yeah that's one thing I really want explained but can't see at this point. Wasn't it supposed to be a big deal that Kisame recognized him under the mask as the Mizukage?

It's pretty clear Kishimoto did not have an end game for this manga other than Naruto becoming Hokage. This is clearly not a big deal anymore as everyone already accepts him and the current Hokage has proved useless. Yet it keeps getting constantly mentioned during this war.

Way too many retcons and weird actions along with plots introduced and not followed up upon (Suigetsu collecting the swords of the mist, he wasn't even there when he brother resurrected). Kaguya being mentioned so late in the manga and being the final villain is just so dumb. At least Madara was set up for a long time.

When that episode was serialized in Weekly Jump, Kisame called him "Mizukage".
When the volume was released, it became "former Mizukage".
And in the end, it turned out he actually was just manipulating the former Mizukage.
Clearly, Kishimoto was constantly improvising that stuff (and revising it, presumably upon realizing it would be pretty damn hard to justify down the line). I guess he just gave up (or simply forgot) at some point.

Woah Zerba can fly??!

They finally got to Air... and the Blue Oni can somehow deconnect itself from the main body

I wonder if Toriko will still feel the damage... (if that is Toriko who is conscious right now and not the red oni)

Also... Horse King wreak this cocky bastard

I just can't believe Kubo would do that. He is like the 2nd most popular captain after Bakuya. There has to be a catch.
 
Oda has really got to scale it back, there's so many characters getting introduced and so much going on that I can't get myself to care about any of it.

I don't remember him dying at all so he could become a zombie. At what chapter did it happen?

Well, as said above, Kurotsuchi is there. If anyone can whip up an Anti-Zombie potion, it would be him (or Urahara). Or Momo and/or Rangiku could show up to talk him out of it. Granted, that's assuming that it's the real Hitsugaya. I'm not ruling out doppelganger or illusion just yet.

Hes a shinigami so he doesn't have to die like Quincy

I can assure you hitsugaya is alive. Its the only reason why Kubo gave giselle the rule that allows him to turn live shinigami to zombies, but not live quincies

Just like how kirge cant jail quincies

Nah I'm not dropping off. Didn't say that I dislike the flashback stuff, it's just when that happens I tend to let it finish first and then continue reading.

finally, he bites the dust. it was a bit sad though.

Bleach

i guess there's lots of big things going off-panel. last time Hitsugaya was shown he was all messed up after beating Cang Du, right?
also, since the other Sternritters managed to grab Cang Du back then to bring him to Juha Bach, i guess that was the window where Giselle went and grabbed Hitsugaya. i wonder if Matsumoto had the same fate or even worse since she was "dead" the last time we saw her (beaten off-panel by Cang Du)

Kubo should have made the "O" Sternritter have the title "The Off-Paneler" and be the mastermind pulling off these tricks.

Well, aside from Franky being Franky, it's still the same old thing.

Sounds fun enough. What are the odds for this being localized/picked up by a translation group?
