Well, if there's anything I've always loved about Bleach, it's the characters (and wayyy better characterization at that than what we got with Nardo). This chapters shows us why.

Where is the chapter?

Edit: never mind.

So did anyone expect Riruka and Yukio's reintroduction into the story because I didn't and I found i pretty hilarious in a good way. Some things just never change when it comes to Grimmjow and Ichigo also loved the little scene between Grimmjow and Nel about being Number 3 that was priceless, but I'm just curious we got Riruka and Yukio back into the story so I'm guessing that means Ginjo and other FullBringers will be making his reappearance soon I presume. Also if this chapter confirms one thing and there is no what implications this time, but based on that panel of Uryu I can already tell he's not blaming the bad guy. Over all like I said in my live reaction/review I'd give it a Great+ rating.

I did. Considering we already saw Ginjo and the other dead Fullbringers training with Ganju, I was expecting the others to come into play.

I mean I had my suspicions that she was alive, but I guess it was a matter of when she would reappear that surprised me. Otherwise it is great to see her character again.

Sigh, while I do believe that Bleach is complete crap now like Naruto, I was happy to see three of my favorite characters in one chapter. It still felt really cheesy for all of these old faces to appear at one time (especially since this has already happened during the war arc). But didn't Nel already show her face at the beginning of this arc? Along with the other Esparda with dark skin and blonde hair? What happened to her?

Bleach isn't terrible, this arc is pretty exciting imo. To compare anything to Naruto is almost criminal XD

You mean Harribel? She got caught by Ywach. Her only appearance was being chained up because she wouldn't join the quincies.

I don't like it.  I was actually more interested in Naruto's war arc than Bleach's (until Naruto's ending of said war arc). Half of it is not making sense to me, and I feel like the mass of new characters mixed with the re-occurrence of irrelevant old characters is clouding the story. 

 

I was really happy to see Orihime again though. I'm just cherishing the few moments she ever shows up.

I suggest rereading it. I was the same way, mainly because it got to the point where I would read bleach and Naruto as a way to pass time until the One Piece chapter came out, so I glanced over a lot of details. Then I read it over a while ago and thought that it was probably one of the best arcs in bleach itself, in hindsight, it's better than the Naruto war arc really ever was. Looking back, the war arc in Naruto was lacking in a lot of areas, and was ruined by Sasuke, some retcons, Hinata (she was the reason Kaguya came into play) and some other issues. Bleach's war arc is better once you see the details. I'm pretty sure that the character situation will come to a satisfying resolution.

Pretty much this. While Bleach has always had pacing problems, this arc can be considered better than Nardo's was. I like and most definitely appreciate how Kubo is tying all the plotlines together neatly.

The problem with the series as a whole is mainly because of the executive meddling that pushed Kubo to drag out the Aizen saga that by the time story reached this point, fans had already gotten tired of the story. And this is on top of the fact that Kubo already had planned out the finale since over 10 years ago. Had the Aizen saga been cut in half, I think Bleach would've been even more popular than Naruto.

I agree the editors should've let Kubo what he thought was best for the Arrancar Saga because this arc is just woah like I haven't had this level of excitement for the series since The Soul Society Arc.

Pretty much, and then to top it off the dragging of the Aizen saga we had the worst arc in the story to follow

New chapter seemed like fanservice. I'm starting to lose interest in Bleach.

Well at least somebody in here agrees with me haha. I understand a lot of people see the good in Bleach and particularly this arc but I just personally don't.  

 

The only good thing Bleach has going for it now is the awesome battle scenes. But other than that, it's lost its touch. The plot has fallen. Ichigo is supposed to be this vizen-arrancar-quincy-shinigami-fullbringer-jesus type figure and I thought that alone was enough fanservice. But now we have all of these random characters that nobody has time to develop emotions for (like those from the Fullbringer Arc and the Quincies) mixed in with a whole bunch of popular characters that were supposed to have died a long time ago. Having the fallen Quincies become allies was very predicable but also....cheesy. I've noticed that this series also has a hard time keeping dead ones killed.

Yeah what is Bleach even about? Some guy trying to purify souls? It's not even about death, real people STAY dead and there isn't really a moral teaching other than protecting your friends (which everyone should already know). This last arc seemed interesting with Ishida betraying Ichigo but now it just sort of fizzled out... I only read for the characters not the plot lol.

I'm just reading because I like the art and its ending xD I hate the slowness but I prefer it over Naruto because at least the characters are being used unlike in Naruto where its suppose to be a war but everyone is in the background while dead people and Naruto/Sasuke doing the work, like what war is that? (I skimmed half the war arc because it annoyed me and only read for Sakura lol)
