Kubo can't drag out this arc any longer the only thing we know so far "Aizen is badass". And I still don't know what this guy actually wants, after hundreds of chapters. But what I get now, Aizen is a god-like being, mentally and physically. He has planned Ichigos whole life and basically everything what happened so far. And he didn't consider his father ? Sounds kinda fishy to me 😀

Kubo probably just did this chapter so he could (sort of, not really) justify how cliche Ichigo's progression has been.

Yup the only any this crap has explained is how Ichigo has become so strong so fast. But it doesn[t account for Orihime or Chad for that matter. If everything was planned from the start then why be surprised about her.
Wow. I can't believe I spotted that indiscrepency. That's how you know the writng is terrible.

Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

didn't Aizen pull this "I'm such a magnificent bastard xantos gambit" shit when they said Aizen was using her as a decoy the entire time?

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they "ended" the arc by going into a flashback arc or just moving the fight the another dimension like the spirit kings palace or something...nothing really changes other than the location...

Well as much as I hate Aizen cause of his God Complex, I still loved how he bitched Ichigo when he said "Don't raise your voice."

Lol.

And now all thats missing is Urahara.

Awwwww yeaaaaaa, poppa Kurosaki is gonna try to beat someone down while giving his son the will to kill every "bad guy"

So I am guessing that both Ichigo's mom and dad were part of the Zero Squad. His mom was the former squad 12 captain before Urahara-san. Who knows maybe Ishiin-san was the Zero squad (Royal Guard) Captain.

"Your love is the dream that i have waited for all my life, so please dont ever let me wake from it and see your not by my side."

Finally Isshin appears...now we finally get to find out how badass daddy Kurosaki is. But judging from how pathetic the Vaizards turned out to be (did any of them actually release their bankai before they were taken down?) and also what happened to Yamamoto (he was pretty awesome, but his defeat was kinda pathetic), I'm not expecting much this time around.

Yeah go back to a flash back arc at how Ichigo's mom and dad met, and how he is a captain.

Eeeh I really hope not - at least, not yet! I mean, I would love to know all of the juicy details. On the other hand, I'm just as happy waiting in suspense while Isshin demonstrates how badass he is and Ichigo has a brain aneurysm. One needs something to look forward to after this Arrancar stuff is over instead of just "what happens next". It seems like the story is once again swinging away from repetitive fighting back towards plot development! Unless I just jinxed it.

I do so hope, though, that Ryuuken makes an appearance soon as well. Tehehe! I love me some cynical, chain-smoking doctors.

Best chapter EVER!! I loved that ending... wanna see what awesomeness he got.

You know, you might actually be right. How else would she know that ichi was in danger back on the river bank(I seriously doubt that she was thinking he would drown, she might have saw the grand fisher) then again, if it was the case she should have easily taken care of the fisher easier.

Well now that Isshin is there this arc will be over very soon, maybe next chapter soon lol. I would say this was a little unexpected and exciting, but a friend of mine told me that in this arc Isshin shows up when every get's defeated and I heard this 3-4 years ago. So Gotei 13 = dead/hurt (RIP Yamaji), Ichigo = useless like usual, Ichigo Squad/Vizards = pathetic after 4 chapters.

Well time for two gods to fight it out, but not surprised if it ends in one hit from Isshin. To quote my friend "Isshin shows up when everyone is defeated and he beats Aizen in one hit". I think it will take more than one hit, but won't be surprised if it is only one hit.

Also, I don't know where you guys got the idea of Ichigo's mom is a hollow. You guys must have misread something. Ichigo is half human/half shinigami. He go his mask from the half fail/half successful training from Urahara. Also if she was why would she lose to Grand Fisher and why would Grand Fisher note her as a tasty human or whatever.

Anyways, ya now that Isshin is here the arc will be over and then we can get our final arc. Which will hv some good flashbacks. Finally get to learn about Isshin's past.

wondering if there were that greater noble house that fell
