Fffuck I forgot about Lloyd Royd.
True. What Doflamingo wound up doing in his fight wasn't really what I envisioned. I was also disappointed that COC was more or less meaningless. I'm still waiting to see if COC actually has any real purpose in fights other than making fodder fall unconscious. If that's all it winds up doing that really sucks.
That's still the biggest bullshit asspull in the entire series. The author actually unironically did the whole "ha ha! You didn't kill me! I just happened to have a perfect twin that that was never mentioned at all up until now, but was raised to be exactly like me in every way! HE was the one that you killed, not me!! Gotcha!" thing.

This manga is so bad. I'm actually laughing at how long I've wasted reading this trash.
Yhwach had been trolling Ichigo (and the readers) since before Ichigo went to Soul Society.
"Zangetsu".
My feelings exaclty, the more I read the more I thought 'this is the biggest pile of garbage I've ever read'
I stopped over a year ago, still have a peek every now and then with a slightest ray hope it may become coherent again.
I forgot she even existed lol. I actually meant this kid.
Ryunosuke. And it wasn't his sister. Apparently she was just his partner. I'm not surprised nobody remembers them.
They showed up at the start of the final arc, right? In Ichigo's room, I think?
What the hell happened to them?
Also speaking of wasted characters, Tatsuki and the other humans who didn't develop anything. What a pity.
Anyway, I'm thinking of putting holds out on all of Bleach through my library (they have it all, up to the latest anyway) and just binging on it for...some reason.

Bleach fights remind of being a kid and arguing about how you didn't get hit because i used a force field and some other nonsense.
A bit, yeah. But at least he finished the fight.

I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing photos/videos of people setting fire to their collection of Bleach manga after next week's chapter.
Very likely after these rushed/terrible last few chapters. At the very least, Kubo could have given us a fight scene as good as Ichigo vs Byakuya. :/

lmaoooooooo
yeah, dude was a tool from the beginning
I'm torn between how amusing he is as a character and how he, uh, always gets away with doing horrific shit.
Mayuri: Yeah, I killed those peasants.
Yamamoto: Well, okay, but you should've asked me first.
LOL, yeah, forgot about that. That all kinds of awful.
I feel like Marineford's flaws are more apparent in hindsight with all the new additions to battle lore via Haki. For instance, the utter lack of Armament Haki when you have a whole horde of New World pirates duking it out is rather jarring.
I think he can pull it off; really looking forward to what the context will be.

I disagree on Grimmjow, he never jobbed, dude was a monster and that fight, despite my dislike of the Arrancar, was easily easily easily the best in the series. The fight was hyped up and delivered in spades.
Having the Ulqi fight RIGHT afterwords was a mistake, IMO. It removed all tension and it really wasn't a good fight.
Plus Segunda Etapa was a concept that Arrancar needed to have universally and from the beginning, not just with one guy.

Chad could have been really cool. I loved how it seemed he'd keep getting cool upgrades and his powers had a mysterious origin, but then none of that went anywhere.

Chad's powers were really cool too, his arms being effectively a sword and shield.
Shame he had exactly... one solo fight.

that was worded weirdly, I wasn't only talking about Grim and Ulq, I was referring to all of them jobbing to the captains.
And I found the 2nd Grimmjow fight to be pretty crap, though I only really remember the anime version.
Actually, Armament Haki was used. At one point, Marco and Vista slash at Sakazuki, and he comments on their Haki.
Plus, Oda has this weird thing where he doesn't make things apparent until he fully introduces them. Like when Sentomaru was pushing Luffy all over the place and actually hurt him, it's clear that was meant to be Haki but his fists didn't darken. When Haki got formally introduced, everyone started sporting black fists or swords or whatever. So it's likely everyone was using Haki, it's just that Oda didn't draw it.
It's the same with Doflamingo's strings.
What did he mean by this?

I'm praying for epilogue GrimxIchi but RenjixIchi seems likely judging by that riveting love confession before the final battle.

Yeah, it's more like a weird visual inconsistency. Oh well.

If Kubo just came out at like the last 5 pages and just made Ichigo gay.
I'd love that ending unironically forever.

I'm not that dumb, i'll just sell my bleach collection
It would explain so much

My force field interrupts teleportation.
Ichigo and company walk off towards the sunset on their way home and Chad and Ichigo hold hands in the last panel.
I recall hearing rumbles of some big announcement, but not sure if it ended up being just a minor thing or something.
Uryu will end up with Orihime who is tired of Ichigo ignoring her, CONFIRMED.
Lol, this is a good point. If we go back further, Aizen basically set him up to fight a literally retarded arrancar to the death, and then Aizen basically fucked with him and got him to cut off his own arm. Old man probably didn't regrow it because life just wasn't worth living after such disgrace. He also made decisions indicative of creeping senility throughout the series. Aizen was trying to do him a favor and push him into retirement.
At the beginning the no name quincies were wrecking SS, including vice captains who had bankai. Remember Kirge? Dude seemed like he was unfairly strong but I don't even think he was lettered.

You know with Kubo knowing the axe is coming down on him you'd think he'd at least try to pack the last few chapters in with as much content as possible, make it as dense as a Hunter x Hunter chapter, instead he's going along at his regular normal pace.

Fairy tail is like the 2nd best selling series of weekly shoune magazine and constantly gets color covers and places in the top spots in popularity rankings.
Its not going anywhere, also series in Weekly shounen magazine dont get cancelled the same way jump does, they tend to stick for a long time even when doing badly and that attitude is present in most of kodansha magazines.
He had just the best Bankai in my opinion.
That's why I was so mad that not only he did nothing with it, but he was killed right after.
Glad I can finally let go... One more week. Then no more bleach ever again.

Kirge was lettered.
Yup, He was J, the Jail.
We never did find out what K (BG9) and N (Robert Accutrone, the older dude with glasses that got turned into a skeleton by Yhwach) stood for.

Although funny, that sounds badly abrupt with no build up to it at all...

Old Man Genocide has some of my favorite fire techniques in fiction.
It's such simple stuff too, freaking invisible sun armor, sword is so hot it doesn't even burn but completely obliterates. Then he starts raising the ashes of the dead into his hellspawn army, should've busted out a dragon of the darkness flame while he was at it. Kubo was at his peak when he drew that fight.
He was only missing a technique based on a phoenix, when Yhwach killed him so easily his last technique could've activated, a phoenix comes down and turns his body into a living flame god. It would only last for a short while but he could've had a real fight with real Yhwach before he burns out.

Yama's Bankai was wasted on one fight. Whereas we get to see Hitsugaya's shitty fucking Bankai over and over, Jesus.
Slayer-33
Liverpool-2
Oh yes, forgot him (not too hard to do so, what with how bloody many of the quincies there are)
Ugh, all this talk about his fight reminds me of that absolutely dumb Loyd Lloyd and Royd Lloyd stuff.
Exactly, always loved his posture and demeanor as well.
Another one of my favorite character was Komamura, because he wasted no time and was always ready to go HAM. Too bad he was another jobber. I was so hype for him vs Tousen, I thought it'd be an epic and personal fight.... lol. At least he had his moment, sorta.
A set of twin quincies in the Sternritter. They look kinda nondescript and can, as memory serves, basically take on the form of someone else.
One of them (Royd, I think) took on the form of Yhwach and was the one that Yamamoto fought and pretty much killed, only for the real Yhwach to come out and go "lol jokes on you."
