Yhwach's moustache redeemed the chapter, like always. It's majestic.
Whitebeard had a majestic mustache….Bach's is okay....

yeah, it's just boring. I can't even hate on Juha, because at least he appears to be struggling and trying, using his arrows to counter the paint brush guys moves and whatnot
just not the same as one vastly overpowered being beating everyone as if they were toddlers
This is the second time Bach fights someone, and again, his enemy is portrayed as a villain.
First it was a flame necromancer, raising charred skeletons of Bach's comrades, and now it's a demonic Santa monk.
Bach had a sad childhood and will turn out as a really cool guy in the end
Yes, because he wanted to become a Soul King.
I still don't get why 3056 people will get to the Soul King's palace when there are. . .4 enemies? 5?
No, really. If Kubo remembers about the Fullshiters, now these Visoreds, he took Yoruichi's brosister outta his ass, last week implied Aizen's coming, plus the rest of the captains and vice-captains, plus Ichigo and co, plus the 0 division guys. . .
. . .vs Yuha, notThor, notBishop, ¿Poison Man?, ¿¿¿¿????? and Sasuke.
These Quincies better start putting nukes outta their asses or they're getting gangbanged.

it was never implied Aizen is coming.
@The:
I feel that I should be feeling something about the recent chapters, even if it's just a resounding meh. Kubo has managed to get to the point that I just feel nothing. I should think Yourichi having a sibling is pointless, I should be happy that the vizards might have a role to play, I should actually like the old mans power. Instead, I read the chapter, and then proceed to One Piece, which does get me to react.
Good job Kubo, I just don't care anymore.
I feel the same.
Whitebeard had a majestic mustache….Bach's is okay....
Whitebeard's is on another level, obviously. Bach's is still pretty fancy.
new chapter out. Yoruichi has a sister, who have thought? The other useless Visored's have shown up, they be going up to the royal palace ( as if they're gonna do anything up there, lol/)
Bach vs Ichibe fight is pretty good so far me thinks. Jolly old Monk guy is doing well in the opening exchange…..
Hachi isnt useless, He is the only Vizard that can actually help Ichigos group.
So why is Yoruichi's sister relevant?
To be used as plot devise so Yoruichi gets a FT-like powerup.
If I remember well, it's how he deals with writers block, or something like that.
That's comparable to getting off heroin with acid trip. After a while, you try to get off trip with heroin again, lol. (Or so I've been told.)
Moments like these, when completely new characters appear with some completely new special items, are what reminds me how shallow Bleach is, and how randomly Kubo produces all but the main main plot.
Pretty much. A new group of characters is what segues into a new arc. (or part of the arc, if we want to be super technical)
Ichigo had his Shinigami powers, little encounters with Hollows -> oop here comes Renji and Byakuya
Ichigo and friends head to the Soul Society -> meet the Gotei
Rukia's safe and everyone can go home -> Yammy and Ulquiorra, also Vizards
Orihime's been captured! -> Espada and fraccions
Aizen is defeated, cue timeskip -> mysterious Fullbringers
Ichigo regained his powers, what now? -> mysterious Quincies
Bleach is formulaic as hell. Uninspired, bland, has no story…:ninja:
Now I know how little I care about Yhwach. He has a mustache, but that's it. He's even more boring than Aizen. At least Aizen was quintessential Bleach, Kubo personified. But now Bach is just Quincy Hitler, Hitler working hard to lead his (4/5)troops to victory.
Maybe if they had a mustache battle I would care more about the two being pitted against each other.
This fight will only be won when the dude reduces Bach´s mustache to musta
Why does everyone have to go to Royal Realm? Is Soul King having a birthday party or something? And we haven't even seen him even once since his goddamn introduction. Is he even gonna be relevant at all, being what he is?
You know what'd be fun? Ichigo arrived at the Palace and instantly sent back down by.. whoever! leaving Vizards who arrived late to deal with the elites and ultimately fodderized by Yhwach himself until Ichigo came back up again.
And I'm not gonna talk about the sudden emergence of Yoruichi's traptastic sibling. He'd be just as relevant as that new shinigami twerp introduced in the beginning of this damn arc.

Psst, so is One Piece just because something is formulaic doesn't make it bad. Bleach is formulaic and bad. One Piece is formulaic and interesting.

They showed the top half of his face once. He looks like a Noah (D Grayman reference).
Hiyori kinda hinted that the guys in the rocket aren't enough to beat yhwach.
Namely Yoruichi and Ichigo because they acknowledge that Chad and Orihime are useless
But seriously it's pretty stupid how they send the right amount of people over to the palace and then suddenly everyone gets a ticket over probably
Is Shinji dead and has his Bankai been revealed?
@God:

I mean, after that particular panel.
@Purple:
Namely Yoruichi and Ichigo because they acknowledge that Chad and Orihime are still useless as ever.
Urahara probably only sent them along out of respect for Ichigo.
@God:
Is Shinji dead and has his Bankai been revealed?
Shinji realized that revealing his bankai would require explaining what it does and dooming him to being killed because his opponent knows what it does, and so he has gone into hiding so that he doesn't suffer the same fate as Rose and Kensei

Fuck, his Zanpaktou is really almost as broken as Aizen's.
@God:

Literally. He broke his Zanpakotou so he wouldn't have to reveal what its power was and get himself killed.
Literally. He broke his Zanpakotou so he wouldn't have to reveal what its power was and get himself killed.
What if his Zanpaktou actually does compel him to explain its power kind of how Kyouraku has to follow the rules of his Zanpaktou's games?
In bleach everyones Zanpakotou forces them to reveal their power. Or people just like talking about their powers to strangers. It's one of those things and it never matters anyway because…
...that's not their real power :ninja:
Yhwach's plan to destroy the soul king or whatever it is is really just a plan to reshape the universe to be exactly the same but make one addendum that removes the whole "you must explain your ability during a fight" deal
Bach had a sad childhood and will turn out as a really cool guy in the end
The coolest guy.

Amazing post and explanation.
Please let Yoruichi's sibling be a sister and not a brother. :sad:
Thoroughly explaining abilities to each other during battle is a sacred ritual in Bleachverse. Those who defy such notion are labeled heretics and doomed to be forgotten completely by their creator, God Kubo.
He even made a character explain that he'll start swinging the sword with 2 hands because the swings will get stronger.
I mean there's no way Kenpachi could have just remembered how he was thought Kendo and Nnoitra figured out his attacks are harder to defend after a short exchange, right?
It's like he has a weird compulsive disorder.
Check out the Bleach examples, lol

I'm surprised that Askin hasn't made it there yet, lol.
I sure hope that Yhwach explains the secret power that makes his mustache grow.

maybe it happens everytime a quincy dies. maybe its tied to age. and this battle is totally jesus vs buddha lol
Wow great catch with the mustache.
You gotta admire a guy who takes a giant calligraphy brush to a sword fight, i really like that little panel where is sword clashes with his brush….it looks strange..not something you would normally see....
Glad someone finally made the pic with all the changes in Bach's appearance.
He's been slowly aging throughout the arc.
Does he age every time he gets part of his soul back, or would he age faster if he wasn't doing it?
In any case, I think he's short on time and becoming a SK is his only chance of survival.
@Mr.:
maybe it happens everytime a quincy dies. maybe its tied to age. and this battle is totally jesus vs buddha lol
Great theory, but he started giving out parts of his soul when he was a baby, so shouldn't getting parts of his soul back de-age him?

That moment was cool as hell.

Inconsistency or not, that mustache is pretty awesome.
Fear the overwhelming fury of the Bachtache.
Don't forget to include zanget- I mean yhwach from 1000 years ago. Dude has been growing that thing for a millenium
It will be revealed that Yhwach's final form is actually a giant living mustache.
Can Yhw still uses Yamamoto's bankai?
With great mustache, comes great mustacheability.
Kubo forgot that he has his bankai anyway by now.

i lol when i saw this very funny
But…He has no Hollow antibodies.
I'm not sure if I remember this right, but the Hollow antibodies thing only comes into effect when you introduce Hollow DNA into the Shinigami. Yamamoto is dead, so he should be fine. This makes me wonder how he can use his Zanpaktou if Yamamoto is dead. I guess because Yamamoto was killed with his own Zanpaktou, his soul is trapped in his Zanpaktou.
Does anybody remember if the Hollow antibody or something akin to that was referenced at all during Masaki's hollow contamination?

Ish. Like she was infected with it and it was kinda killing her which is why she was bonded in soul with Isshin.
Or something. Whatever.
juha can use yamamotos bankai , if i remember correctly, there wass a quincy that used sasakibes bankai after he died
Haha, when the conversation is basically summed up by "if I remember correctly" and "whatever", people can't be arsed to spell character's names correctly, and the most interesting thing happening right now is mustache growth…you know you're in the Bleach thread.
