Zaraki Kenpachi gained his former strength.....that is all fine and dandy, even the fact that it was psychological thing.....but him gaining his swords name and shikai through that has to be an utter bullshit, I mean I am sure his, Zangetsu said that the reason why he could not hear his swords voice is because he does not trust his sword and he only believes in his own strength which is a sound argument....I don't believe anything has really changed in Zaraki that he would depend on something else than his strength and suddenly manage to hear that swords bloody voice just because his psychological restraint and him beating the one person that was the cause of him restraining his power.

I had the same thought when I read this chapter. Well, the only good part is that we will finally learn something about Isshin. And I won't be surprised if Kubo changes few story elements seeing he did same with major characters.

If you ask me Isshin and Urahara are the major reasons why people still bother to read Bleach.

Well they are kinda the only big mystery that are left + Ishidas father.

But at the same time Ichigo failed the lesson and has to attend remedial classes...

Which will make him superior to Renji in a long run <------ I swear this will happen.

meh is how I feel about this chapter. It left me feeling unsatisfied

Recent chapters of Bleach has been stoopid like this imho.

So I guess this solves Ichigo's no-Asauchi-before problem, by making him do it now.

二息歩行

So Ichigo failed because he does not depend on a zanpakuto. way to win, renji!

I have liked the previous chapters. It is just this one leaves me wanting more. It feels like tite is pulling more crap out of his ass to make things go on longer.

This chapter made no sense. I thought Ichigo was supposed to meet the Soul King?
Wasn't that the real reason why he entered that place?

amen to that

________________

If the Soul King wants to meet Ichigo, he could do it in the Human World if he deems it important.


If Kubo manages to create new supernatural beings into the story, and gives Ichigo new power upgrades telling us that Ichigo is a Vampire/Werewolf/Noblesse...I will pay a professional killer to end Kubo's life. If Kubo or any of the people who know him personally are reading this, let him know that he has been warned.
