Kubo doesnt use much ink.
Toward the end of the chapter it seemed like Kubo was in an art class. Just random full-page sketches.

The best thing was three sternritters sacrificing themselves for Royd. What… An Honour... Q_Q
WOOHOO AIZEN-SAMA IS BACK! Get your adult diapers out folks; we're in for some hilarious, pee-in-pants comedy. Don't disappoint us Kubo sensei!
It wasn't until I tried to put it in the context of a One Piece chapter that I realized how ludicrous that 2 page spread of that dude's face was.
Imagine having a two page spread of a hyper-detailed Luffy face, or hyper-detailed Law face. Just kind of… there. I can only think of one person who would truly appreciate the latter.
I was like, wait, I enjoy the drawing but something is very wrong here. I had stopped registering context with Bleach for so long that it didn't even occur to me.
Lloyd and Royd… Is this a new for of laziness for Kubo? How did he spell out those names in katakana?
Baraggan's Bankai vs Yamamoto's Bankai
What do you think?
Barragan doesn't have a bankai. So no.
@Sonic:
Barragan doesn't have a bankai. So no.
Uh sorry, I meant Resurrección
@Maes:
I wouldn't be surprised if there were some White Zetsus disguised as Rin and Kakashi. They got separated and Kakashi accidentally kills Rin thinking she's a clone.
If that's the case Kishi really hasn't done a good job of putting Madara in that light of being current the big bad behind everything. Red herrings are one thing but even when we see the Madara in these flashbacks he seems delusional with what he wants his goal to be and it seems too close to Nagato.

That was more fun reading than the actual manga Gokuyuske, nice one lol
I should maybe make a part two about that dispute?

@Sonic:

Yes. Yes you should.
wait wait, so Zaraki raped Loyd(which can imitate other power and abillities perfectly) offscreen with ease but instead also raped hard offscreen by Royd(which can only imitate other memories and spirit perfectly), Kubo messed up the twin himself?
The simpliest explanation is that Royd was the stronger of the 2…and he didn't exactly 'rape' Loyd. Kenpachi said he was okay, and he gave him a decent fight but beat him and had wished he was alot stronger.
If there is 1 thing Kenpachi likes it'd be to fight himself and surpass himself..

Baraggan's Bankai vs Yamamoto's Bankai
What do you think?
Barragan's ability only ages everything to dust. Yamma's bankai erases it completely. Old Man's bankai would pwn Barragan and everyone for that matter.

Well, it's really not a matter of ability. But rather "reiatsu", Barragans reiatsu wouldn't even be able to touch Yamamoto so his power would have no effect on him.
There is a following sentence in my grammar/spelling exercise book(my own native language), it's one for universities: "'Zombie powder' is the japanese artist Kubo's first published manga." Wow. I think I almost choked on my sandwich. Manga is like unknown here. It caught me off-guard.

Glad i quit…
You know, Minato. We know jackshit about him as the Hokage. He failed to deliever important info on Tobi, even though Sarutobi was standing meters away from him. He pointlessly sacrificed himself to preserve the "balance of the Bijuu" (what, now apparently there can't be Bijuu running around? he could seal the Kyuubi again once he comes back) and so his wife can talk to Naruto for 5 minutes 16 laters. Claiming he wants to make a better life for Naruto… by sealing the most powerful Bijuu inside of him and leaving him to a life of loneliness.

Ahhh, its been a long time since I’ve done this. Consider this a celebration of Bleachs’ “return to form”, it’s another thorough Daz Bleach riffing!
First off, I didn’t get to say this last week, but even for a decoy fight this thing ended up pretty dang lame. Fake!Bachbeard summons the ultimate quincy defence technique, and it ends up doing exactly nada. I thought it was supposed to incinerate anything that came in contact with it, but it did jackal to the skeletons; the crosses just stand there, and fall over. What, it doesn’t work on the dead? It’s weakness is being burrowed under? If it ends up doing fuckall, why give it a two-page spread and an “ULTIMATE!” label.
And Yamamotos zombie army itself…yeah, I get that fighting your dead comrades is a bummer, but the skeletons never seemed like an actual threat. They did zero damage to fake!Bach whatsoever, and wasn’t even declared to be especially strong/fast/durable skeletons. Any person with half a brain could’ve just flown over them. And Yamas final technique…looks cool I guess, but its effect seemed to be just “a really powerful slash that cut through stuff”. I thought that was his first bankai ability? The one that cut a fissure into the ground?
Anyway that’s minor nitpicks, into the meat of this chapter itself!
Rroyd and Lloyd. Hoo boy this is dumb, and not just because their flashback is of the extraordinarily dumb and confusing Fullbring model. Thoughts like “why didn’t the parents give them different haircuts, or at least different fucking clothes?” Or “how do they imitate each other before birth? And if they’re perfectly identical, what is there to imitate?!” surface, and most prominently: What the hell are these guys?! I thought Kirge had given us a bullshit explanation of how the Quincy powers just came from Bach bestowing them…somehow? But these two jokers just have it from birth. Are they fullbringers? Not really, extraordinarily ill-defined though it was Fullbring at least involved doing Transmutation on objects of affection, and that doesn’t seem to be the case here. It’s just…two three-eyed boys with magical powers, straight out of Kubos ass.
Rroyd at the very least smells of turd, as he’s just a walking example of how little Kubo plans ahead. This dude did not exist until this exact moment, where he had to for the story to work. Others have already mentioned the problems with the brothers abilities; If Lloyd can match strength, why was he explicitly said to get beaten by Kenpachi being stronger, if Rroyd can’t change his strength does that really put him above Kenpachi, and wouldn’t it make a whole lot more sense to have the guy who can match Bachs strength be Bachs decoy instead of the guy who can match his "spirit"?
What I’m personally wondering though, is why Rroyd didn’t even bat an eye at Kenpachi throwing Lloyds messy corpse at his feet. If Rroyd existed at that point in the story, any author with even a single molecule of competence would have shown at least a panel of Bach looking slightly miffed to foreshadow this, but nnnoooooope, nothing there!
What really kills me is that there is no reason for Rroyd to exist. Imagine this:
Kenpachi shows up carrying 3 dead quincies; sternritters Q and R as before, and someone new.
Bach beats Kenpachi.
Yama beats Bach.
Bach is revealed to be the Yourself Lloyd, who can assume the likeness and powers of others. And thats the end of that.
Tadaaaa! Doesn’t that make a fuckton more sense?
But what happened is, Kubo realized that he needed a way out of the Yama-Bach fight without killing Bach. A decoy would work great, but oops: Kubo had introduced and killed off a guy with abilities perfectly suited for this task without noticing! Fuuuuuuuuck, what to do what to do what to do waitwaitwait what if, WHAT IF THE DEAD GUY HAD A TWIN BROTHER WITH THE EXACT SAME POWER?
Good lord Kubo, I know you can’t plan to the end of an arc, but can’t you at least plan to the end of a fight?
The next part of utter asininity of this chapter is when Bach disintegrates Rroyd, and Yama goes “Evil!”
First off, dude, Rroyd was missing quite more of his body than any person should be comfortable with. I now it’s a bloody miracle that his blood and guts wasn’t flowing everywhere, but his only shot at survival at this point was Orihime, and since he wasn’t fanservice bait and hadn’t abused her, I’d say his chances were close to 0. What Bach did was an act of mercy if anything, and he even congratulates Rroyd on fulfilling his duty.
Secondly if Rroyd DID have a chance at life and Bach just killed him for no damn reason, then that’s a whole other aisle in the stupidity department store. Kubo, you can have your villains kill their subordinates. Standard trope, works pretty well. But it has to be because they failed, spoke up, pissed the villain off, anything; it can’t just be because of nothing.
Thirdly: CAN YOU DECIDE ON BACHS SUBORDINATE ATTITUDE ALREADY!?!
First, we see Yama toasting three quincies at once, and Bach not giving a single shit, to which Yama replies “yes, it is so like you to not care about your men!”
Then Yama sics Bachs dead men at him, because Bach has totally shown that he’s the type that cares about his men. “I can see your tears Bach! Even you don’t like hurting your own subordinates!”
And now, we’re back at Bach killing his own soldier! He’s evil!
But the most stupid thing of all is: this whole decoy battle serves no purpose whatsoever. Does it tire Yama out? No, not really, and that doesn’t relate to his bankai getting stolen anyway. Does it supply info needed for his bankai to get stolen? Nope. Did Bachbeard need to do something else before he could take on Yama? Nay.
Bach just shows up, taunts Yama, steals the bankai, and then he manages to waste an obscene amount of pages using his sword to generate another sword, turn around slowly and do a menacing one liner, and then cut down Yama, who has been kind enough to do absolutely jack shit while all this was going on.
There is absolutely zero reason Bachbeard couldn’t have started this entire war by visiting Yama, and going through the aforementioned scenario. Then he could go visit the prison at his leisure, but he took down Yama so friggin easily that I fail to see the point in letting out some schmuck who lost his sword and got severely depowered, and yet remains probably most untrustworthy dude in the world. Point is though, theres no need to visit the prison before fighting Yama.
By the way, It’s a good thing we spent time learning Yamas insightful theory on Bankai stealing last week, since it is completely debunked this week, because every quincy could’ve stolen it if he wanted to – it’s just that only Bachbeard could’ve used it. Which begs the question that if Bachbeard was really really insistent on the decoy plan, for whatever reason, why couldn’t poor Rroyd at least be allowed to steal the Bankai and then hand it over to Bachbeard when he arrived, instead of dying pointlessly? Heh, it’s kind of funny to think that any random quincy could’ve nabbed Yamas power and just run off with it.
In other words, the last two months was a decoy fight against someone Bachbeard could take down in no time flat anyway, in order to buy him time for something he could have done at any time.
And that really, is the worst part of this chapter. Since Bankai-stealing was revealed we all knew Kubo would introduce some loophole to let Yama show off before he’s taken down…but in the end, the reasoning Kubo tries to give wouldn’t hold up if you sneezed at it, and instead of at least giving them a smidgen of justification, the purpose of these last few months now couldn’t be more transparent. For fucks sake Kubo, even if everyone sans LighningAce predicted this, you could at least try to cover it up!
“Yama was so strong that Bach had to stay on the sidelines and charge up his bankai-stealer to get it ready, while his decoy distracted Yama”. How hard can it be?
I give this chapter 8/10 “Palm of my hand”s. Kubos back on form.

We never saw the parents' faces, so this is a legit possibility.
How about how none of these Quincy abilities seem to gel with what we've seen from Ishida? Or are they just supposed to be "special humans" like Orihime? (As far as we know, her power isn't Fullbring.)

Yeah, it seems very weird so far that all these Quincy are able to have a wider variety of oddities about them. But wasn't it Opie that sorta hinted that maybe he was hiding something? That Ishida should be stronger? But eh, who am I kidding. With the way the last few chapters have been Kubo's just bringing up random dialog that pretty much has no meaning or gets thrown out with the next.

Opie made it clear these guys had evolved over time, whilst Ishida's grandfather was stuck in the past….and seeing as how we only had Ishida as the only Quincy, why would it be strange to think that Quincy can't have a ton of other abilities too?
Just as shinigami all have a zanpakatou, but every 1 of them has their own power...and same for the Arrancar

Its not random dialogue. It was said for a reason. Even those Yamamoto's theory about why his bankai/Ichigo's bankai couldn't be stolen turned out to very very so very wrong, It is clearly suggested that Ichigo's power can evolve even more

Well yeah I assume Ichigo's can. He gains a new form every arc, sometimes more than once. Ichigo is the main character, it's a given he will develop more. But I was referring to Ishida. Given that we haven't seen him since the arc started and Kubo's track record of not remembering things or making a lot of stuff he's said irrelevant I'm not having high hopes. If he's trying to be misleading or surprising I feel he's executing it in a silly way. To me it just makes him comes off as a writer that has a very poor memory or made his plot overly complex to the point that he can't keep things straight.
Before this arc, the only thing we knew about Quincy abilities is that they worked by absorbing spirit particles in the atmosphere, as a regular human might be able to learn how to do. The whole "everybody just intrinsically has a fully-developed superpower" thing was never intimated for them before now.
I agree about the power to turn into a giant ape isn't very quincy-like.

It seems at least this final arc, he has planned out since he has given us alotta details of stuff to expect in some special interview or something.. He even has the Royal Guard already designed and stuff,for him the only issue is when they appear - and given what is going on…it probably won't be very long.
Bach did the right thing desintegrating Rroyd. Who knows what these shinigami can do with a corpse of a shapeshifter…
And maybe he was still able to speak and his innards weren't breathing fresh air because North acts like light saber and caterises cut on spot without victim going up in flames from the radiating heat.
By the way, why Rroyd's coat didn't go in flames from the cut of West (or was it East?)? Does such soldering iron not set fabric up in flames by touching it and only scorches it? I forgot high temperature characteristics.
Will there be jump chapters this week? Just asking because they came out extra early last week.

I don't know about spoilers since I don't read them, but the chapters won't be out until tomorrow. At least we've been getting Toriko and Beelzebub on the same day as the big 3 recently :D
! Sooooooooooo Rin was a traitor? Or just her body has some important properties? And Madara chose Obito cuz he can copy other skills fast… like Kakashi can...
! Well that was stupid.
Wow, that was seriously early
Omg Kishi…how many times are you going to draw the same panel over and over to illustrate a point that was already made several hundred chapters ago. Stop drawing the split Kakashi and Tobito face panels. What point are you trying to make?! Overall, pretty uninteresting chapter. Just blood, blood, and more blood.
Btw Mangapanda sure loves those lameass filler pages.
Honestly, I've always been under the impression that its the other parts of the process that take all the time more so than just the translation,
Well, mangapanda doesn't really fix up the SFX and redraw panels.
I'm pretty sure there are some omissions here and there. Some of the panels hardly make an ounce of sense to me due to the translation.
i enjoyed the panel where all those woods with pierced mist ninjas spiralling towards the moon…
