So this is the last chapter... Are we being trolled?

[MattyB]

I love Bleach but... I really don't see where this chapter is going! It's going really fast, I seem to remember the Arrancar arc. going for ages, we saw lengthy and interesting fight for each Espada with lots of character development.

But this chapter just seems like a highlight reel so far! Heaps of characters have been totally facerolled behind the scenes, Byakuya died in like 3 chapters and Kenpachi was whooped off stage too!

Then we see Yama-jii just straight up BBQ every interesting looking, new bad guy in the space of like 2 chapters.

I get the feeling that this whole arc is just being skimmed through and it doesn't mean this chapter will be short as hell and leave us with no more Bleach.

What are your thoughts?

He is trying to get to the good part. Where Squad Zero shows up

Who? care to explain?

[Ridoku Sennin]

Dont know man....

A friend of mine told me that because it would be the last arc, Tite Kubo would like to last it 2 years or so, (he searched that cause he wanted to know when the anime would continue, probably after the manga ends) but i dont see bleach going on for a whole year or so, more like 5 chapters.

But I hate it man, like you said, Zaraki`s ass got whooped off screen and he`s one of my favorites...

[Crazyleggs24]

imo theyre just trying to finish (what they shouldnt have started in the first place) this arc as fast as possible to end the series.

[UzumakiNaruto20]

Who? care to explain?

The squad that protects The King. You know, that one squad that is made up entirely of captains

There's nothing wrong with the pace of the manga. You only think this because you assume that this invasion is going to be all there is to this arc. It's not.

Battles happen, the Stern Ritters will retreat, etc, etc, main showdown.

It is a fact that we are going to see Squad Zero, aka the Royal Guard, and it is a fact that we are going to see the background stories of people like Kyoraku, Ishida, Isshin/Ryuken. Kubo confirmed all of this months ago.

How ignorant. Bleach is not ending in 5ish chapters. My goodness.

It's going to last at least a few years. Fact.

[Migualon J.J.]

Five chapters? Are you kidding me? Basic shounen law--no. Basic STORY law has the protagonist defeating the main villain. That either means Juhabach is not the main villain, or that Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryusai's going to lose (or some kind of middle ground where he has to stop fighting) From Kubo's last interview, it sounds like he plans to do big things with this last arc, which could potentially last him longer than a lustrum if not at least longer than Naruto. He has a ton of other things he wants to explore and reveal. It'll take a while, trust me.

OT: I think you mean the last arc instead of last chapter.

(On a side-note, I don't get why Kenpachi is high on a lot of people's list when it favorite characters. He's powerful, but there are about 5 captains stronger than he is. He's nothing but brute strength, and most people always say "He's such a beast!", or--my favorite one--"He might be the second strongest captain next to Yamamoto." Really...?)

i completely agree with you and i too cannot believe that so many people think Kenpachi is such a god-like character

[NLee]

it has already been a few years, bleach should end after this arc. it may last a few more years but after this arc they will lose alot of fans

What are you talking about?

Everyone knows this is the final arc. It's been known for months.

[FlyingThunderGodHax]

Yep, character development is not really needed atm for the quinces maybe later.

Ask Kubo

Yes, I agree we need more info on Ishida his father etc... especially the mystery surrounding uryuu being some sort of OP weapon.

I think Aizen is going to be the main villan, or maybe even the soul king. Major plot twist would be epic... Juha Bach imo is not going to be the final villan.

[NLee]

Aizen will not be the final villain. Kubo would have to be stupidest motherfcker in the world to do that.

[Jaengusu]

I have no idea what Kubo is up to!! We never know what epic thing might happen and such. I know Kubo has surprised us a lot, so we have to wait and see what the heck is gonna happen
