    Although I don’t always appreciate Kubo’s work (especially his lack of writing), I have to tip my hat towards the man and his manga covers.

  • Matsu96

     Then the manga doesn’t have ended yet. because Aizen isn’t really defeated.

  • uchihalord1994

    Nice cover looking good, on a separate and random note i didn’t like the fullbring arc at all. This final arc however has had its ups and downs for me. If you don’t read the manga and just want to wait for the anime to potentially return then stop reading. Start of the war was interesting quinceys popping out of nowhere killing 7000 shinigami i think (don’t remember exact number). The top shinigami were treated like they were average and was surprising to see certain characters get pushed back into a corner, I know bankai were stolen that is besides the point. Not seeing Kenpachi fight was disappointing. Head captain yama..well we know what happened to him and i have to say he was one of the least out of all shinigami to fall so early on if at all. Byakuya’s speech to ichigo giving him his last order/wish and to then find out he didn’t end up dying. I think because of Byakuya’s survival it made that i can’t believe he got beat and killed so easily moment really pointless as it seemed from his words that he was actually going to die. Also it made the quinceys rampage seem less impressive in my eyes. Ichigo’s mother being basically called a quincey (not directly) but bach’s words saying “you know nothing about yourself..not even about your own mother”. I mean come on how many different things is ichigo? giving him all types of powers is just ridiculous. Introduction about zero division was good and change, it was also nice to see ganju and his sister again, but giriko, tuskishima and ginjo returning come on 3 of my least favourite bleach characters, possibly due to the fullbring arc itself. I could go on further but i won’t. Again loving the cover, one of my favourite captains and characters in the bleach manga :)

    To me, the Fullbring arc will always be one of the worst sagas of all anime and manga.  I pretty much absolutely agree with you on everything.  There were definitely ups and downs.  An up was seeing the head commander’s bankai, while a down was  seeing him die in such a disappointing fashion.  Kubo needs to work on filling up the sheet of paper in front of him and not just having a huge ink splatter on his work and call it a manga chapter.  This is evident in the chapter where you mentioned byakuya giving his “final words.”  I was just flipping through pictures at one point of the chapter.

     I also agree with the overpowering and over-characterization of ichigo.  This just in: Ichigo is also half saiyan, part state alchemist, a former marine admiral, a dragonslayer, and one of the original containers of the kyuubi.

    The Shinigami’s deaths are really inconsistent. Hitsugaya lost half of his body against Aizen and he was A okay in the arc’s finale. Now…

    On a sidenote, Rukia was going to be executed for sharing her powers with a person to stop a Hollow. Aizen killed lots of people in Soul Society, experimented on Shinigami, created new Arrancars to start a revolution and take down Soul Society’s God…. he was sent to prison.

  • Theonlyfiasco

     Maybe if you paid attention….Aizen is immortal and cannot be sentenced to death. Exile by prison was the only other choice they had.

    I know right, next he will have a baby on his back and have the zebub spell and then find out he has gourmet cells.

    Kubo promised resolving the plot devices he left.
    Of course, the so-called Bleach fans are a bit narrow-minded to realize that. What a bunch of -in Aizen’s words- losers.

    At least be happy that he Died in a suprising turn oñf tide in battles, and also because he was full of his own pride as a Captain-Commander. And especially that someone in the good side died, because, THAT’S what fans were complaining of on the previous arcs.
    And, instead of being sarcastic on Ichigo, look forward on the “True Blood” plot device, because complaining about it with the mind of a Pre-schooler won’t help.
    Gosh… and I can concede that -again, we talked about that- about the Lost Agent Arc (will you EVER gonna write it right?), not nothing pros and just noting cons is something that can come from the mind of -in Aizen’s words- loser. No offense.

    Ok, you need to calm the hell down, bro.  No need to insult me.  You’re an optimist.  That’s what you are.  Most people agree that Bleach has been in the downhill road since the end of the aizen arc.  Why should I praise the only good parts of bleach?  To cover up the bad parts?  The bad greatly outweighs the good.  I’ve been highly critical of kubo’s work on the fullbring arc.  But I’ve mostly supported him throughout this arc.

    Fans complain about a lot more than the lack of death in bleach.  But while we talk about that, how’s byakuya and kenpachi doing?  After delivering his “final” words, he’s still alive?  As is kenpachi?  He didn’t really solve any of that, now did he?  Oh, and Yamamoto’s body wasn’t even found.  I wonder if he’s really dead.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t.

    Mind of a pre-schooler huh?  Care to explain how?  Because I’m being critical of a series that used to be good?  You’re obviously a huge bleach fan, and I’m not hating on that fact.  You just don’t seem to be able to take constructive criticism on his work.  I don’t know what you mean by ” Lost Agent Arc (will you EVER gonna write it right?)” Despite the fact that you used the wrong form of write, is it that I’m calling it the fullbring arc?  I don’t think anyone calls it by its official name.  No need to cry about it.  The fact of the matter is that there were little to no pros coming from that arc besides the fact that it was relatively short.  Oh, and guess who’s back?  The crazy ol’ fullbringers.  “In Aizen’s words-loser”- That was a lame comeback. Here’s my aizen quotation against you, “Don’t use such strong words — It makes your weakness all the more apparent.”

    This is in response to your post to the guy who insulted you. I agree i wouldn’t be surprised if the head captain ended up being alive, also i wonder if Kira actually died at the start of the invasion lol.
