Oh, don't worry Ishida. It's not yours or SS's fault that you didn't report vital information to Ichigo, it's just that Kubo writes things on the fly so it's natural that story arcs don't tie with each other at all or that just don't make sense.
I concur.
However, you're still a dumbass for not having said that before. At least Ichigo took that well, saying that it would have chosen the least sensible decision anyways. Sweet.
Kubo made him a dumbass. Ishida deserves a reprieve.
+1 for non-emo Ichigo in this chapter. I got sick of it, tbh.
Other than that, it was a ridiculous chapter. The way butler guy went down was so pathetic it makes Barragan's death look dignified and badass. He's such a pathetic character that I forgot his name and I don't even bother to search it: he's just another background element that disappears forever, without anyone noticing.
Barragan's death wasn't as trashy as Coolhorn's, or the rest of other unmemorable disposables Kubo uses. What do you expect?
And, really Kubo, do you want to joke about Rukia's passion for plushies for all her battle? What the hell is she for you, the comic relief?!
She has turned into a fodder, appearing only at times when Ichigo needs a personal cheerleader. It kills her character (and whatever else she is worth) and robbed her of her individuality.
Also, good to see you again white panels. I knew the really good shading from the last chapter wasn't going to last. :/
You haven't seen 465? There were some really ginormous panels focusing on the shaking of trees.
