    Not much happened this chapter either. It just proves the Vandenreich somehow steals Bankai from its Soul Reaper.

    Well maybe the guys from 3rd squad will be in the care of squad 4. Either the vandenreich have some secret power. Not only soul reapers can use zans, which I'm wondering if this group can even use bankai or shikai, hmm.

    So does this mean that the Vanderiech will be able to use the Bankai. I guess that mean we wont be seeing any new Bankai

    And of course Shunsui is starting to fight again and we've never seen his Bankai before. And from the looks of things, he's really taking a beating.

    At least he's still able to fight. He hasn't had that many battles as a whole.

    Actually most of the Vanderiech wear white his Shinkai may be very effective if he can get that game to happen

    So Ichigo's off to help the Soul Society...again. How many times does this make now?

    Three. Seven, counting filler.


    I was kind of hoping for a slightly more creative solution, but I guess Ichigo's plot immunity will save everyone... again. I'm not liking where this arc is going, mostly because one of the things I wanted to find out about many of the captains was what their bankai abilities were. That, and the bad guys aren't all that interesting, even with all the Nazi allusions.

    Yeah, I mean the Vandenreich hasn't done all that much yet besides slaughtering countless anonymous Soul Reapers and posing. No individual character has really had focus.Even their leader hasn't really gotten time to shine yet.



    Seriously though, Ichigo might as well just stay in the Soul Society by now considering he helps them every time some evil threat wants to destroythem now.

    Doesn't he have to physically die first?

    Sort makes you wonder why the bankai sealing techinique doesn't work tho


    is Ichigo's Bankai really a resurrection?! Doubt it but I think Ichigo being both a hollow and a Shinigami have something to do with it

    Either a resurrection, or there's enough fullbring in there to mess up whatever technique the Naz... I mean Vandenreich are using. Or both.

    Ichigo is sort of deus ex machina of Bleach... I love the manga, and his character is awesome, but I think Kubo is putting WAAAAY to much on his power, while neglecting other players... But since this is the final arc, it just seems logical that Kubo will show every character in full power...

    Kirge is such a troll. First he absorbs Ayon andthen he traps Ichigo. He just won't quit.

    Speaking of trolls, Kubo Tite couldn't have paced this chapter any worse.

    At least Kirge might be dead now. Unless he has some kind of magical Quincy glue.

    I'm really liking the despair factor here.

    And it looks like things just got much worse for the good side....which I'm mainly finding exciting due to easy they've gotten off in previous arcs.

    As Nodt is actually a pretty cool villain being able to mess with Byakuya like that. He's always been the calm one, so to seem him succumb to overwhelmingfear like this is actually really interesting. It's also unnerving as a whole seeing the Soul Society get utterly destroyed like it is now.
