….remember when Ichigo wasn't a pawn in someone's scheme?
Oh, you mean at the butt end of the Arrancar arc, and the butt end of the Fullbring arc? I seriously think thats it. Ichigo is the only protagonist I can think of who over multiple story arcssomehow ends up clueless and manipulated for 95% of the time.
If ichigo did more than spam the same attack type he would most likely kill bach you don't need to see the future to know ichigo just spams the same type of attack again and again lol.

Also what the heck is taking Isshin? Please don't tell me Kubo's gonna use him for a retread of the Final Getsuga Tenshou or some nonsense.
that is exactly what will happen
Holy shit… This is even more bad as naruto's final war and the villians in it
Ichigo just meeds to use Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Airhead technique.
I glanced through the chapter, how i wished someone punched many-eyes when he said: I wish to talk about hope. Jajalululu, so in the end Ichigo has one attack that he combines with other stuff. Next will be Getsuga arrow cero shot.
Bacholi's continued jabbering about how his future vision works really makes me wish Garnet would just pop in and kick his ass while singing.
Fairy Bleach Discussion-0: This is the Monado's Power.
Not really, the Monado:
! has a very intelligent and detailed explanation as how it lets you "see" the future. It's not a dumb metaphor about jumping from grains of sand with no properties, it's more about perceiving that since the world is made of particles, you can sort of predict/see where those particles will be in the future. Bach says that you can jump from one grain to another and that he sees them all, but that's just dumb since he too is one of them, but gives no reason at all as to how he can do what he says other than a dumb "allmighty" power that still lacks clarification.
! The Monado furthermore, by being the "providence" of the world has the objective of preserving it, and itself. It was born from creation and as such dictated the rules from which all was born, which is clearly not the case in Bleach where the most given to us is grains of sand.
! We could go even deeper with Leibniz concept of the "Monads", and about the pre-estabilished harmony, but that's a scope far too big for the moment.
@The:
The bigger thing is that ending though, where Kubo expects us to actually care about a Bankai, especially with a character who has used it so many times. Sure, it's supposed to be different, but seeing how bland Ichigo's look and ability is I am not excited to see an upgrade to blandness.
Hey! Its been two whole chapters since the last transformation-cliffhanger, we were totally due a new one. Especially with how much half-hollow mode was milked for potential already. I mean, a White Slightly curvy beam slash? Crazy.
With this we'll have had three upgrades to Ichigo within this arc alone (and one additional costume change with Turban Ichigo); how many will Kubo go for? I'm guessing 5.
And the dumbest line of the week goes to:
"Did you really think you were the only one capable of wielding two swords?"
Why would anyone think that? Why would anyone think that anyone would think that? Hell, we (and presumably Ichigo) have known for a long time that Shunsui and Ukitake use dual wield swords
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

I especially liked how Bach using two swords as well completely changed the dynamic of the fight.
"I can fight with 2 swords as well, but I might as well not, since I'm invulnerable and besides I prefer to use spike traps."

If you don't count retconning horseshit then it'd be somewhere in the SS arc. Up to that point he was acting on his own, but then a smug bottle of hairgel suddenly mary sue'd himself into Ichigo's entire history.
Fairy Bleach Discussion -0: Did you really think you were the only one capable of having one thread for two manga?
sigh yet another chapter of kubo throwing around platitudes trying to sound deep but falling flat, as usual.
Skip to 1:18
Holy shit…
I completely lost my ability to see someone using "Holy Shit" and not imagine Joseph Joestar saying it.
That's all I have to say about this week's chapter.

I think the sadder part is I don't even notice/remember his transformations. Here he is as a hybrid of his hollow and Shinigami, and to me it's the same bland, expressionless Ichigo. Seriously, only after this post did I even think about the fact that Ichigo had just transformed a few chapters ago. The fact that it has no impact is just sad.

What's really sad is that kubo wants us to feel some kind of impact because ichigo is using a different flavor of gt, but I honestly feel nothing. It's just more of the same.
Wouldn't surprise me if Aizen shows up, merge with Gerald and turn out to be the real villain.
That was unbearably boring. The whole "you thought x, but it was for naught, since I already figured you'd be thinking about x" has become so,so, SO commonplace that the final villain of the entire series using it for two chapters in a row is anything but something to look forward to.
If at least the fight coreography had something to offer, but sadly, it doesn't. Kubo was never the most creative fight designer, but he used to put more effort into the panneling, the flow, to make the panels clearer and cleaner, with the actions discernible. . .now the strikes are so blurred by ink and effects and stuff that it makes it near impossible to get enganged in the actual fighting.
This is a terrible, terrible climax to a nearly 700 chapters long series.

lmao I keep thinking that if Luffy was somehow the protag of Bleach, then Aizen and company's plans wouldn't even freaking work.

I'll go 6, with the final one being this angel-esque white and black amalgamation.

You don't think it's appropriate that a series based around endless prediction and oneupsmanship should have its final villain literally be able to predict and anticipate everything ever?
So this is going to eventually boil down to Bach trying to alter the future and Manbearpichigo sidestepping it somehow.

Oooooh. I just remembered Bach has a Bankai of his own.
Just when you think the fight can't get messier.
I miss huge ass sword Ichigo :( he was so pure and innocent.
One sword two Ichigo. He holds his sword twice at the same time!
I can't even remember half of those transformations… LOL
Similar I have given up at Naruto and his out of your ass transformations
I think I stopped understanding bleach when the "fullbring" thing started. Heck I still don't understand what that is.

Store brand generic Jojo stands.
As far as I'm concerned, Fullbring is practically a filler concept because Kubo needed to give humans superpowers. It is literally never mentioned after the arc,.not even by science whizzes like Urahara or Mayuri. It was hastily thrown into the lore.
Also Yukio and Tsukishima could've conquered the world with theirs.
Tsukishima is too amazing of a person to go conquering the world. He is my friend.

The fullbringer arc could've fit into bleach if it happened right after the ss arc. A minor arc to help develop Chad's character a bit. Ichigo's involvement would be minimal, firstly not a fullbringer. He would be learning more about his zan, and encounter Nel. With Nel being the first official introduction to arrancar for ichigo and the audience, this sets up for the characters to start questioning whether or not the shinigami are as good as they preach

Yeah! Plus coming off the SS arc, it could delve into Uryu's/Ichigo's suspicions about the badge he had just gotten a more organically.
Maybe the main cast could've expanded like so:

[/hide]
since Kubo had something with Tatsuki/Keigo/Mizuiro but he just dropped it before Hueco Mundo.
I take it that Urahara's so-called unpredictability is like perpetually throwing the same countless grains of sand into those disgusting eyes.

Spraying them with bleach would be a more poetic, beautiful and symbolic way to end this thought-provoking manga.
Did Ichigo surpassed Naruto in number of forms already?
Omg!! There's been ages since i don't see Ichigo thinking. Tite knows exactly where my tard weakspot is.
Bankai used as cliffhanger finally, now shit gets real.
Nothing exists; even if something exists, nothing can be known about it. Even if something can be known about it,
knowledge about it can't be communicated to others. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.

Your location is really something

Yep. Like while Naruto was still running as a manga.

I hope we don't treat One Piece like this someday lol
Kubo could have also explained the kids that work with Uruhara if he wanted an excuse of super humans. I'm not even sure what they are supposed to be.

I always assumed they were artificial. Something like Nemu, but less grimdark.
I must say that Bleach has really cool visuals since quite some time.
Bach "All Eyes" form looks demonic allright. It reminds me of Hellsing and its Alucard demon form.
We had many scenes with really great design/visual style and I must say that its far above likes of Fairy Tail.. so far above that those two are not even comparable in that regard.
Ichigos Bankai has chance to make my eyes pop out. Spoiler pictures made with phone in just 5-6 days will be awesome.
I cannot remember this music being played in the anime but it's ok the bleach anime and music was always better than the manga version it's rare for a anime to be better than the manga version lol.
Was this supossed to hype me? Because it didn't it.
Chapter 489
Decent chapter. There's not much to complain about, really.
I'll save that for the next chapter. :ninja:
Zero Something.
