Bleach is going to end up being the biggest trainwreck of shonen manga.
You mean it isn't already?

Well I mean an EVEN BIGGER trainwreck.
@Tamiel:
Where is your miracle now big boi?
Haven't you heard?
! The miracle never happen.
I just reread the ending of Naruto and that already felt mega rushed. I wonder how the overly drawnout Bleach will handle all this stuff in 5 chapters lol.
This is like Air Gear all over again lol
This ending will be super hilarious and awesome - of course for the totally wrong reasons.
I'm still unsure if the ending will be worse than Shaman King.
Yeah, prepare for sequel.
Seems like Bach could not see this future coming, had he, he would have killed Ichigo and everybody else on the spot, close the gate and complete his mission. Now he is just going to lose or we will get two chapters of Bach miracles. Maybe a magnet could defeat him, how do they work?
The funny thing is, when bleach ends we'll see people popping champagne and cheering lol. Bleach used to be so cool and badass tho
They should continue and end the story properly with anime or something. It worked a lot better as an animated medium to me. Maybe because all those colors, music, voices and SFX distracted me from the content enough to make it bearable.
Watch superdaddies solve their sons' problems in just 5 more chapters!
Bleach Discussion - YAKETY SAX INTENSIFIES
5 chaps? with an invitation from the bad guy (who hasn't killed anyone) to stop him? This is wonderful, can't wait to read it.
I listened to Tekking101's review about the chapter and he's so bothered by Giganthor's fate that he's opened a contest for people to write a fanfic giving the Gerard fight a better ending. I'm thinking of entering. I can think of two scenarios that could vastly improve it, and one I can easily do for the contest.
Pretty much the entire battle should be rewritten, although I think the Bya-Hitsu-Kenny combo in 671 would have been a decent enough ending. I think Kubo only kept him around longer to give more of an impact to Auswahlen besides taking away Haschwalth's power
@Kaido:

My own fic idea is less "good guys win" and more "Gerard gets to go out with some dignity". I can't write a battle scene with a 1000 the contest has. I turned waking up a non-morning person into a 1700+ word story. My friend is going for something with Shinji and Hanataro.
So we are gonna get Stone Ocean/Shaman King ending?
So we are gonna get Stone Ocean/Shaman King ending?
How are those two similar in terms of ending?
Stone Ocean? 16 chars
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6. Basically ended on a Cosmic Retcon.
Stone Ocean's ending facilitated President Valentine.
I intensely doubt that Bleach's ending will do the same.
They should continue and end the story properly with anime or something.
Filler Modsouls and Hueco Mundo Forest Guy save the day. The end.
And everyone dies. The end.
I mean considering its about afterlife stuff this is soooooooooooooo deep.
Lmao the five chapters thing is confirmed? That's actually sad.
To elaborate on my earlier sentence-
Sad in the sense of "holy shit, this is really how this manga is going to end". I was already dubious about 20 chapters being a worthy wrap-up for everything that's happened, but 5? Get ready for montages, deus ex machinas, and so on.
Some have predicted that Bleach will end with Bach….winning, which I suppose could happen. He's become so overpowered that Kubo will have almost enter in cheat codes to make Ichigo as overpowered to win. From a logical standpoint, Bach winning now makes sense. From a narrative standpoint, it's utter garbage. I've said it before many times that his "shtick" is taking cues from Aizen, and he's forfeited any likeability or reason to care/sympathy about his efforts. He just wants to win because "hurr hurr I'm so evul". What kind of ending is that?
Not even Kubo would be deranged enough to think he can steer the story to wrapping up in a satisfying conclusion in just five chapters. It reeks of editor interference and/or Jump rankings, which is unfortunate, but the author isn't without fault himself.
There's so many neglected characters not doing anything in this final stretch. There's so many mysteries and answers we will never get. There's so much lost potential to be had.
@Bartholemew:
And everyone dies. The end.
If Kubo does a new series, he should probably let someone else take care of the writing.
@Cyan:

Not intentionally, anyway.
5 chapters from ending? This is going to be rushed … probably with a lot of side plots still left hanging or resolved in a rush (Chad's powers .. what happened to Yachiru ... the full bringers that looked like they were going to show back up ... etc etc etc)
Gainax ending FTW
Not intentionally, anyway.
But you have it because Araki puts the string and the multiverse theories at work in Jojo, then invented someone to get through. In Bleach, Tite showed a plate above a thorn and said that everyone works for the plate to not fall from it, like in chapter 10.
Yhwach is bad because he don't give a shit about the plate.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6. Basically ended on a Cosmic Retcon.
I know that. I just don´t understand why the comparison between Stone Ocean and something that´s pretty much been rushed to end like Bleach.
I felt like Stone Ocean was a pretty decent ending considering Araki wanted to close a cycle.

So basically, Lost?
So what is going to be the name of Ichigo's son/daughter? Boltgo?
So what is going to be the name of Ichigo's son/daughter? Boltgo?
Nigo? Ichiroku? The trick question that Ichigo won't actually have any kids?
@Purple:

Before, we must know who will be the mother.
Counting the negative number chapters, that should mean a wrap up at 700 chapters, right? That'd be a tie with Naruto. Which shocks me as a part of me really believed in Kubo deliberately dragging things out to pull ahead of Naruto's length for the mangaka equivalent of e-peen.
@Purple:

That reminds me. Bleach isn't/wasn't obsessed with unrequited love and/or pairings as Naruto was, but I wonder if Kubo will do a forced pairing epilogue.

(obvious answer) Bleach!
but I wonder if Kubo will do a forced pairing epilogue
knowing how Kubo is, I doubt it. The Orihime/"Kurosaki-kun" thing only exists for in-the-moment dramatic effect, nothing to build on long term (just another thing to end up unresolved)
I kinda hope that the canon ending is that Bach gets bored being so overpowered, resets things, and the last chapter is Rukia meeting Ichigo.
The sequel's name will be: Bleachy. Or do I have to change two letters to make it work?

Well kubo likes to do troll twists in his story so i could see that happening.

Even if kubo did that it would not be longer than naruto due to boruto and the little kid looking version of naruto as well like with lee.
Bleach shuddered and convulsed at the thought of it sharing a thread with Fairy Tail. It chose death rather than this misery. An honourable death, I shall say.
Moral of the story: If we want any manga to end we just need to let FT invade their thread. :ninja:

Should do it with HXH then it would go on less breaks lol.
Ya know, I'm more mad about Back killing his remaining allies then I should be. Especially when that's kind of been their M.O all along. Never have I seen a group of bad guys more happy to kill each other.
Poor Uryu. No character deserves this. This arc has turned the Quincy into a bunch of Nazi-esque lemmings. I only assume that when Mayuri tortured and killed that bunch of Quincy (including the Grandpa), he struggled to stop them from killing each other first. Poor, poor Mayuri.
Now that you mention it, Back has taken down more quincies than the entire good guy squad. Not sure if funny, stupid…meh whatever.
If those guys had any concept of teamwork Bach could have won completely in the second attack.
If this manga were to last longer, I'd think Bach plans to just restore his buddies after he does whatever he wants to do. Shouldn't be out of realm of possibility for a god. And it would somewhat explain the ease with which he vacuums up his followers like dust. But… yeah.
If Kubo does a new series, he should probably let someone else take care of the writing.
I've said this about other mangaka as well. Ever read Maken Ki? It's fucking garbage. The story is convoluted and the characters are amazingly stupid. The guy who writes it used to be a hentai doujin artist, so that basically tells you all you need to know. The art is nice though.
5 chapters?! YEAAAHHHH thank you manga gods.
Still think this is all marketing bullshit…after the manga ends we get news a month later that The second Bleaching will be a new monthly manga series by Kubo with Orihimes and Ichigos kid.:ninja:
I've been hearing conflicting things about the number. I've heard 5, I've heard 17, I've heard volume 74 will be last, or it'll be latest… do we have a clear cut source in the number?
Jesus only 5 or so chapters left?
I've been hearing conflicting things about the number. I've heard 5, I've heard 17, I've heard volume 74 will be last, or it'll be latest… do we have a clear cut source in the number?
Volume 73 came out yesterday and announced 74 will be the last.
Bleach volumes usually have 11 chapters.
There are already 6 released chapters that will be part of volume 74 (675 to 680).
That's all we have right now.
