... You know what? I didn't even consider that.. I just figured it was flashbacks to them trying to wake him up when he was burning out... but.. well dang.
Wonder if that was all a plot by Aizen, and he had it cast on him as soon as he started to fight back, before he went Black-mode. If so, that Aizen clone now knows how he transforms and where he keeps that.. and soon is going to learn more secrets if that is the case.

That's you know, certainly possible. Don't forget that panel of Inoue's eyes. She's definitely depressed and wants Ichigo really badly still. I was hoping that maybe Ichigo would go back to that dojo and train with or train Tatsuki. I wanna see some Bleach style non special power fighting real bad for some reason.

Also with that thought above, maybe Ichigo is in SS right now recovering and his mind is in a state of flux after everything that happened before. Who knows?

its pretty much back to square one
Wouldn't it better to start a new whole manga with a different concept rather than dragging this what become a half ass manga

who else says that rukia will now have long hair?

I hope so that would look awesome.
I loved this chapter though, it is so refreshing to have chapters like this especially since we havent seen a real gag in well over 200 chapters. I think I would be fine if Kubo just stalled like this for a few more weeks, screw the plot that will bring us back into the dark ages.

would be fine with me, was refreshing to see some gag after long battles.
i loved the espada fights, but some resurrections and bankai looked soooooo lame...

maybe its reality or he dreams, both is fine if good explained, hope it goes on a lil while
i dont want to read a battle orgy again to soon

Really liked this chapter. Nice to see Ichigo sort of worry free. And I do have to agree with one of the previous comments, cause that was the only time I remember seeing him in shorts.
And about the first page, I don't think he's dreaming or anything. I would personally track Kubo Tite down if he pulled some ish like that.
Anyways, really looking forward to the next chapter.

yeah! exactly the same thought that came to my mind when i finished this chapter!
lol...nice to know that i am not the only one.

anyway, i am curious what direction is this taking...O_o

I thought that momentarily, but I quickly pushed it aside because I'm hoping that Kubo won't try to pull one of those, "and then he wakes up" bs. Giving his resume so far, he might do something that lame, but what little faith I have in him is telling me, "Na, he won't waste our time that much."

Anyway, I thought Orihime was adorable in this chapter. Maybe it's been so long that I forgot that she was even capable of being a "funny" character. However, I am disappointed that it seems as though her relationship with Ichigo hasn't changed much at all. Hell, how long is it going to take before one of them makes a move? It seems as though Ichigo's relationship with Tatsuki seems to have gotten stronger, though.

Eh, I still think this manga should have ended with Aizen. Still, call it dumb curiosity, but I want to see where he could possibly take this.

Yeah, with that panel I mentioned earlier of Orihime. Her friend is closer to the guy she likes than she is. That's gotta feel real bad.

Not sure where we're going, but I like it.
