Filler? I don't even know 'er! aka the fuck-Bleach [SPOILERS] megathread! - Page 230

Been really enjoying how much back story we're getting on Bazz and Ywatch lately. also nice to see Quincies using bow themed weapons more often now. Bazz's bow gun may be a new personal fav for me.

Meh. Takes like 3-4 chapters to get anything meaningful to happen. There's also no real point for this drawn out explanation of what happened when the Quincies first attacked Soul Society. Kubo is just obsessed with drawing things out for as long as possible and putting as little as possible on each page. A lot of Bleach's arcs could most likely be condensed into half the length if Kubo were more competent. Or maybe he's just trying to milk Bleach for all its worth.

I've long since stopped enjoying Bleach and I'm just sticking with it now to see if/how it will end since it only takes about three minutes to read a chapter considering how little each chapter contains story-wise and art-wise.

I'll still be ok with this if it ends in a chapter or two. My issue is its abit confusing. I've seen people that dont even realize this was the original war 2000 years ago. Heck I dont think most people realize all these quincy are dead (as in ghosts not gone forever dead)

Are they ghosts in the flashback we're watching, or ghosts now 2000 years later when Ywach turns the Soul King into a hat?

Yes

I could be wrong, thats part of the problem, but from my understanding

We are watching back when they were alive. They are talking about the quincy-soul reaper war. Which is some retconning cause they were pretty clear on both sides it was the Soul Society that instigated the war.

They die, presumably in the war and are currently ghosts. I know atleast that much for sure because in this arc Uryu was introduced as "the last living quincy". They specified living.

Another good indicator in this flashback is in 8 years they aged 8 years, as opposed to the drastically slowed and inconsistent aging of ghosts.

Sudden jump in progress. I am actually quite pleased with things finally moving somewhere

Kyanbu The Legend · 07-21-2015, 02:27 AM

Yup and it looks likes the death count is going to start soaring again for a bit.

New Chapter:

Gotta love how Ken just causally tears his arm off without a care in the world.

Also Mayuri was defiantly looking for an excuse to stab him. Nerve infecting Virus was that very excuse.

My only real issue is the lack of foreshadowing. There was absolutely no indication at all that this guy's power worked like that.

Random guess, its a girl. Just calling it now
