It happens.
Well, the panels do blur together, after a while. Especially in the past few chapters. Did anyone else have trouble making out what was going on because the panels were just a blur of black and shadow?

It's not that, it's just that I don't give a shit about this arc. Eight Deadly Words and all. I used to really like this arc, but it has been dragging.

I missed out the word 'chapters'. It sounded like I was talking about the last few panels. Kubo can be an absolutely amazing artist, but sometimes his panels are just messy.

I did understand, I just got distracted by my irritation of the panels in the last few chapters.

I say things.
This was a good chapter.
"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."
My god, Shonen Jump isn't trying to force all their popular series to end at 00, right? It was painful when that happened to Naruto.
Before Watchmen: Made and filled with tropes. Next: The Wolf of Wall Street.
...what do you mean? Is this related to Ichigo getting another new form?
Yes, I think this is basically a declaration that this is the final, final battle.I think Kubo is rushing, on his own way. Rushing means we will have only more twenty-five chapters.

"Rushing" is not exactly the word I used to describe many of the recent events in Bleach.
Err, color me skeptical...

Really, you really think this is Kubo's last ride? How naive you must be if you think we're getting any sort of conclusion now lol.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.
Yeah, we still haven't seen Shinji's Bankai!
Yeah, he can totally stretch out another hundred.

The Kubs don't care about no company mandates. The Kubs does what the Kubs wants.
"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."
Again why would SJ be trying to get rid of one of its more profitable properties?
anything that sales close to half a million per volume is kinda a series you atleast want to keep around especially in the decline of the manga industry.
I don't understand the mindset of "SJ is trying to END BLEACH OMG PANIC!"
SJ has more reasons to keep the series running more then anything

Well, this answers the question of whether he still can use his hollow powers.

Okay, the big question: Has Ichigo just awakened a third spirit inside him?
You mean besides Hollow Ichigo and old man Zangetsu?
Nah, he'll be just using Hollow Zangetsu and Old Man Zangetsu simultaneously. Like he was during FGT.
Arashi Shigehito
He still hasn't used Bankai yet.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!
Looks like he's still relying on his hollow/shinigami side; I'm not sure how involved his quincy side genuinely is right now. This doesn't seem like the final battle - or even his final transformation - to me. I don't need Haschwalth's repetitive comments to make me think this is a fight Ichigo will lose.

More like his Shinigami side is serving as the base for his merged Quincy/Hollow transformation. He only had to absorb Quincy energy because he's not used to those kinds of powers enough to awaken it on his own.
His transformation is two halves, not merged. He still needs to learn how to transform at will - at the moment, he's just flinging himself at Yhwach's Quincy reiatsu until his hollow wakes up, which is repeating Quilge's jail. In the final battle, I'd expect Ichigo to be capable of transforming at will.

Oh, I forgot what Mimihagi was, because I barely give a shit anymore. My bad.
