Now compare their popularity...

We can only hope that Captain Mom does something

Although the main problem with the current turn of events is not that they killed Halibel, she managed to pwn Iceboy and stay in even grounds with him + Hiyori (who we've seen beating the crap out of Ichigo during their training) + Lisa. Stark was killed by Shunsui's shikai, which is... much worse.

The main problem is that TK hyped the top espada, and then killed them off pretty easily, and now I'm supposed to buy that Aizen, Gin, Tousen (who we've seen being beaten up by Kempachi, while using his bankai, when his opponent still had his eyepatch, the same Kempachi who had trouble with the N° 5 espada) and Autistic Vasto Lord kid are going to beat:

  • Yamamoto (who has moved exactly 3 times: barrier, killing Allon and killing Halibel's fraccion)
  • Koryaku (who still hasn't used bankai)
  • Ukitake (who is obviously not dead, and hasn't used his bankai)
  • Komamura
  • Hitsugaya (who is probably exhausted, but still can fight)
  • Hisagi
  • Kira (and his hax shikai)
  • Ikkaku (who still hasn't used his bankai)
  • Komamura's vice-captain
  • The whole lot of the vizards (of who Kensei, Love, Rose, Shinji and maybe Hachi can use bankai)

Then, if I don't choke first before trying to swallow that, I'll have to buy Ichigo (who was happily trashed around by Ulquiorra's first resurreccion, and obliterated by the second) will be somehow able to beat him.

...

So Yeah, the future is not looking bright for this manga.

I agree that the top 3 Espada were hyped up too much, but some of that may have been the fanbases doing. Of the Espada, only Yammy is left, and he will likely go down. In FKT, as Noimporta mentioned, only Aizen, Gin, Tousen, and Wonderweiss are left. I imagine this will probably end with Aizen saying Just As Planned.

Yeah, Noimporta, that part with Stark... ugh.

But I thought Shunsui is using his bankai? That last time with Yamamoto nevermind.

Didn't Ukitake get oneshotted by that kid?

Bah, he only got stabbed through the stomach, in Bleach that is the equivalent of slap to the wrist.

And so, it begins, I was actually hoping for them to change the focus to Ichigo and pals.

About time one of the good guys died. Too bad it was Hiyori.

I refuse to believe that Hiyori's dead. Admittedly, unless Kubo pulls an Ass Pull and makes Orihime show up impossibly fast, she'll probably be there soon. Although, they could always throw her in Kira's Glowy Box of Doom.

Though, gotta say... nice Bankai there, Kensei.

Taking in count that the Espada and Soul Society have been fighting for over a year now, and that it is unlikely that everyone in Mexico Hueco Mundo was just standing there for the whole time, and that Urahara hasn't done anything yet, Orihime coming back "fast" (which means, after the fight against Yammy is displayed) would not really be an Ass Pull.

Kensei's Bankai looks like an expy of Ikkaku's.

No.

Hmmm, in Starrk's flashback he is shown to already be an Arrancar when Aizen finds him. So, I guess he was a natural Arrancar. I find this interesting because I thought all of the Espada were turned into Arrancar by the Hougyoku.

Naturally the fact that they'll go back to school once this is over adds to the annoyance. Can't they give Tatsuki a level up now, dammit?

seriously does Kubo have a love/hate relationship with the Mexican community and women in general or something?

Kubo is in it just to advertise his clothes designs, which are FABULOUS.

I want to show everybody this picture.

I wish Chad got more love. If you're not going to use him then just remove him already Kubo. It's irritating to see him fighting any longer.

Chapter sucked. Took me all of 2 minutes to read and I was like "What." I absolutely don't give a shit about Ichigo or Yammy anymore, and it sucks that Chad, Rukia, and Renji were beat down offscreen just so Ichigo could show off his faggy new mask.
