Bleach Asylum fans waking up
"Can someone tell me what the **hell I just read? Are you serious right now, Kubo? Did that _actually just happen?
Kensei gets back up from getting knocked on his butt last time, only to…get smeared on the concrete, while achieving precisely nothing in the process? What's all **that about?
Oh, but okay, Rose finally gets rid of Mucha Lucha's gnome (maybe someone can explain to me why he didn't do this before Kensei got his internal organs rearranged, because it stumps the heck out of me). He then uses his bankai and proceeds to…explain his ability to his enemy just quickly enough for him to bust his own eardrums to counter it. WHY? I...I don't understand. You mean to tell me that it never occurred to this guy, a centuries' old professional soldier, that someone could do this? Was he really so shocked that someone could resort to a minor self-inflicted injury to counter his entire ability set that he couldn't dodge a frickin death ray coming directly at him?
And the masks. WHERE were the masks? No hollow powers? Kensei and Rose use and explain their bankai and, what? That's it? They've served their role for this battle, so they get instagibbed by a man wearing spandex? Is this how captains are treated now? Captains that have never seen something that could be said to resemble a proper fight, even just as an attempt at a bad joke?
The one hope I have is that Mask can't read lips, so that at least we don't lose the irony of Renji replying to the question of a man that is now legally deaf.
I haven't said this in a while - because Kubo has been pretty good as of late - but this chapter was absolutely_horrendous. He spends an entire chapter and throws two captains under the bus, and for what? A character that will probably be dead in two chapters to Renji's newfound power. To give you an idea of how much I couldn't suspend my disbelief, assume I'm Kensei and assume Mucha Lucha is my disbelief. Now read the first six or seven pages. Dear God. Lazy writing is damn lazy.
I bet this all sounds like bashing to some people, but I promise you it isn't. Not when I know that this man is capable of so much better than the rubbish we saw this week. This is getting 2/10. I can't honestly give anything higher in good conscience."****
