I've gotta say this is probably my least favorite arc in all of Bleach. The mission will inevitably fail and Kubo is seemingly wasting our time with even more canon fodder Arrancar for the purpose of fanservice.
Hopefully I'm wrong and Tite will surprise me (as he's done in the past), but for now, this crappy Soul Society rehash is seemingly quite dull.
But I must say, the arc is not without its positive side…
Even though I dislike the idea of dancing and comedic relief Hollows, Nell rocks my socks. Very cute. <3
And even though I disliked how long the fight took, Dorodnii ended up being pretty damn cool in the end.
I'll definitely overlook the boring-ness if Ichigo takes Dorodnii's unspoken advice, "leaves the chocolate behind," and becomes a demon in combat before the arc is over, though.
Here's hoping the final Ichi vs Grimmjow fight comes soon (personally, I think it's inevitable).
