Use the arrow to evolve Ichigo's Ban Kai to Gold Experience Requiem! Oops, wrong manga.

Spoiler

A GER level asspull is needed at this point

Spoiler

Would Aizen's Bankai being a GER ripoff actually surprise anyone?

 

[Serrato]

Has the arrow been referenced before?

Of course not!

 

[Jonnax]

Of course not!

Alrighty! I guess I'll look forward to Ishida's Bankai.

 

[Akainu]

This is so fucking stupid.

Spoiler

Would Aizen's Bankai being a GER ripoff actually surprise anyone?

Would it even matter?

Spoiler

Didn't he destroy it?

Somehow the arrow head will lead to a newfangled take on Getsuga Tensho, the really final edition.

With Naruto doing the same with Rasengan is it just a shounen manga thing that the competent yet unknowledgable protagonist has just one move that they level up throughout the series?

 

[Nocturnowl]

What really grates about Naruto is how his usage of Shadow Clones was often pretty neat and a fun main ability, then the Rasengan slowly took over to the point where even the clones were basically used like a Rasengan army.

I never understood why in many Shonens the Protagonist would have 2-3 techniques maximum while everyone else has like a Excel Sheet list full of them. I know often the guy became good recently so he didn't had time to learn all the shenanigans, but still, have so variation!

Probably to keep it simple for the young audience. And so there's room to introduce new special techniques later on.

Bleach has this whole subsystem of magic that could be used by most of the cast yet is for some reason barely used at all.

I blame the Toriyama disease (aka, Forgot about it)

 

[Sub_Level]

Just to address last chapter, the appearance of the Fullbringers was not an asspull.

1. They're dead so it makes sense they're in Soul Society.
2. They were shown to be training to eventually help Ichigo.
3. Their method of transportation up to the palace was shown and explained. You can even see Game Boy in the background in one panel, showing they used his elevator.
4. Humans (Orihime, Chad) are shown to still retain their powers in the afterlife.

Memory Troll's power was stretched pretty wildly with what he did, but it's not like the bad guy's power is even explained all that well either. How do a fight a villain whose entire power list is asspulls? You pull ass harder.

As for this chapter, the page with Ichigo's sword being broken is priceless. But it's not completely broken so obviously the next chapter or two is beat Ywach time.

Thanks, guy that barely had a role in this manga. At least Kubo remembered the two of them exist I guess.

Chair-sama and the magical arrow are going in.

 

[Phoenixus]

RIP Aizens chair.

Why bother to learn new moves when those one or two best everyone? It's the Guile method.

 

[The Silver]

I swear if Aizen jobs to this porn stached piece of shit,

 

[nicanica]

Ishida is currently being hyped up as the perfect counter to the final boss, Yhwach, but who knows if he'll actually help.

He gained an ability called Antithesis, which allows him to transfer damage done to him to someone else. Hilariously enough, the same chapter he revealed this ability, his opponent revealed his ability, Balance, which allowed him to transfer the damage right back to Ishida. Bleach in a nutshell.

Literally where is Kon, last time we saw he was in the Soul Palace when Ichigo was training or on the way back up to the soul palace after he was knocked off and we haven't seen him since. Did he just hid somewhere while all of this was happening?

Or is he still in Ichigo cloak somehow.

He's going to hop out and OHKO Yhwach and Aizen.

The next 3 chapters will be celebrating him as the true hero of the manga.

I thought this chapter was alright. Nice to have some Aizen trolling before the end.

Still don't know what Renji is around for. It's like if Krillin kept trying to join the main fights.

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

What really grates about Naruto is how his usage of Shadow Clones was often pretty neat and a fun main ability, then the Rasengan slowly took over to the point where even the clones were basically used like a Rasengan army.

I always thought Rasengan army was an inevitability, I mean you have those two techniques, why not use them at the same time. It's common sense, haha.

With Naruto doing the same with Rasengan is it just a shounen manga thing that the competent yet unknowledgable protagonist has just one move that they level up throughout the series?

More or less. With Naruto he has a ton of variations like Bijūdama and Rasenshuriken and at one point elemental version like Lava Rasenshuriken or that time he used the Bijū's different types for nine Rasenshuriken, it was pretty hype.

I like that his techniques are visually distinct, in both size abd visual effect. Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō literally looks the same in scale and appearance no matter how much stronger he gets.

 

[SigmasonicX]

It makes zero sense that Aizen's illusions would work against Yhwach's powers as described, but whatever, I'm so glad Aizen got an illusion troll in before the end. Though why does he still have his sword? Didn't he lose it when he became a butterfly? (Whatever, this is the end!)

 

[Gvitor]

(Whatever, this is the end!)

Ending the dark side of two worlds end (the end) - part two (end of the ending stage)

 

[CarJeter]

so, what about these Heavenly Weapons of the Shihoin clan?

 

[Jonnax]

Hahahaha. Aizen doing his signature move.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Even with Aizen this has been a super meh fight. Even Aizen trolling isn't as funny as it use to be.

He became one with his sword. So either he can materialize it at will, or it was an illusion. Regardless, he can activate it since Yhwach said "time was distorted" during their first meeting, so it's probably the former.

One thing I don't like is how this will hurt a dude who's been smacked around by Ichi's caliber. Nothing from Ichigo right now looks that dangerous.

 

[Jonnax]

I'm betting some random character will bust in and take him down.

Oh, I forgot. Ishida has been given the Deus Ex Arrow.

Nothing from Ichigo ever looks dangerous unless he's in his Hollow state or Dangai form.

It's funny, just going off of feats and general impression you'd think Ichibei from all the way back in 2014 was still miles ahead of Ichigo in strength, yet it's probably the opposite. Kubo is just really bad at depicting increasing power levels and relative scale.

Take for example, Aizen's Hado 99. What the hell did it even do? It could have been a level-30 Kido for all the 'destruction' and 'effect' it had.

At least that did some damage to the surrounding area. And it was a distraction more than anything.

But since Ywach is nigh unbeatable, it just makes it boring.

 

[NastyBook]

Aizen still showing why he's the GOAT. Once Kyouka Suigetsu gets ya, even your future is trolled, bitch.

 

[Maddocks]

Aizen is alive and well no doubt, once he activates his bankai and really fucks everything up. Then ishida can show up and shot bach in the back through the heart to give itchigo the final true opening he needs to kill him.

da end.

Until Aizen appears and says since when were you under the impression you were reading bleach and you look down and its Naruto filler. The real end.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Aizen shall save us from this shitastic ending and become the true hero this manga deserves.

 

[Eusis]

No.

It'll literally be the last chapter of Yu Yu Hakusho reprinted and that's that.

 

[Maximo]

Aizen activates his bankai to rewrite the manga and have him as the protagonist, Bleach can now continue just with Aizen.

 

[Hypron]

This chapter was more entertaining than the last 100 combined. Aizen is the best.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Aizen was always the hero. The real MVP.

Aizen is our one and ONLY true savior.

Ichibe is broken beyond belief, only plot armor defeated him. I used to think Old Man Yamamoto was broken with his bankai but then Ichibe came along.

 

[NateDrake]

Aizen is the only character that matters.

 

[Verelios]

I don't even know why he bothers naming them Hado/Kido 1 to 100+, because they all do the same thing.

Fucking nothing.

 

[SchrodingerC]

At least our Lord and Savior Aizen actually bothered to use Kido in the newest chapter, not that it did any good...
