does he really have a semi-major role tho

does he really

He did.

Briefly.

I just loved everything about his concept and design. He actually looked the part, towering over everyone, and the flashback with his grandfather was great too.

Wasting a character like that should be a war crime.

Also, what the fuck ever happened to this guy?

i bet this will have a sequel in the monthly magazine, like Boruto
Mind that Naruto was still popular when it ended and Kishimoto was/is probably seen a lot more positively by the people in charge.

Even if it were in one of their other mags, I imagine the only way Jump lets Bleach continue is if Kubo is placed in an advisory role and somebody else draws/writes it.
 
This chapter reminds me that when Bleach is going for comedy, it's a pretty fun read. I wish he had focused on this style instead of the fights.

Honestly, I kinda felt the same way but the chapter tried to do too much (particularly the Yhwach/Aizen garbage) and came out as a pointless, jumbled mess.

Reborn probably has the worse ending but this is more disappointing considering the series' former quality and all the unanswered questions/dropped plotlines.

It should be inverse: somebody else writes the story and Kubo draws the panels.

I honestly just want to see an extra chapter of Ichigo and Orihime starting their relationship. Or what happened during those 10 yrs

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Rukia and Ichigo arguing to almost the very last panel is very oldschool first arc Bleach, so in that respect the ending worked.

By the way, Byakuya x Soi Fon is a legitimate ship. Just putting that out there.

Kazui said "Kind of a shinigami too" and his uniform molded over him. From how it looks I would say he's more Fullbringer than Shinigami (and Orihime was attacked by Sora/Acidwire so it counts).

I honestly have no idea what a Fullbringer is. I stopped reading regularly halfway through Hueco Mundo and have basically dabbled in every few months since, but just picked up a little more regularly in the last few weeks to see how it all ended.

Nothing about Soul Society was ever really explained, which is probably one of the biggest failings in the manga.

The entire place is such a clusterfuck of a concept.
This manga and characters can be explained in this
" this character and concept is cool"
" you will never learn more about it except for the parts that relate to ichigo"


Im kind of a shinigami too tho

The Fullbringer Arc was the next arc after Aizen was defeated and dealt with Ichigo dealing with someone who said that they could restore his Shinigami powers and brought Fullbringers into the story. The short version is a Fullbringer can manafest a power through an object (there is more to this but I'm having a brain fart atm) in their real bodies however the caveat is that in order to have this power their mother had to have been harmed but survived a hollow attack before they were born.

Wait that's it, fuck kinda wanted to see more
of Ichigo's and Rukia's kids.
.

Yeah, this needed another chapter or two to flesh this out better. Bleach's end feels like you're going on a trip and you're driving only to run out of road beneath your wheels rather than reaching your destination.

Given Kubo's penchant for introducing new characters, I have to wonder if him only introducing as few as he did for this ending was an editorial mandate.

It's fake

Maybe if we gave him 10 more years he'd be able to properly finish
creating 350 more useless villains and not fleshing them out without ever touching all of the questions he raised without answer.

Well. It was an ending. That's the best I can say.

How is yhwach pronounced? Why not just Bach?

I gave up long ago just call him Ewok.

I still wanna know what happened with the Soul King. Without him, the whole universe was supposed to collapse? Kind of a big detail to leave unresolved.
