Bleach Chapter 478 Discussion

Kind of disappointed in this chapter. I thought we were going to get more insight about Ginjo and thought the last panel in chapter 477 was heading towards a flash back. Not mad that it didn't go as I assumed it would but was just hoping something big and exciting would have happened for the end of the year chapter. It was nice finding out what happened to the other fullbringers and I'm happy Riruka's alive.

Lack of a flashback was surprising, to say the least.

And it would be nice if Grimmjow and Nel returned.

This is really cliched.... -_-



Also, someone teach Kubo how to draw fking backgrounds, I've never seen an empty manga like this. It's just white background and a character thrown in, a black background and a white line (that means a sword slash), fking teach this guy how to draw, it's too bland, ffs. -.-

Thats what I said to myself to LOL, looks like we will being dealing with this fullbring for another 10 year story arc.

Nothing? This brought us A LOT of backstory to SS, shed more light into the whole gray morality of soul society, (if ginjou is dead) WAS FIRST TIME ICHIGO HAD TO WILLINGLY KILL A PERSON or (if ginjou did not die) set up a huge story arc.



It also hinted that something with SS is really wrong, showed that SS is shifting towards more liberal society instead of conservative values of the old, possibly setting up the Soul  king versus SS conflict.



The *only* thing this arc did was give Ichigo his powers back and give a small bit of insight into Soul Society.  The way it was brought about was both obvious and hackneyed.  There was no reason for the Fullbrings to be as powerful as they were, considering that the power they got from Ichigo was apparently a fraction of a fraction of his power.



Regardless...this could have been done both better and more quickly.  As it is, it was simply a way to stretch out the manga (in my opinion).  I can only hope that the Fullbrings are quickly forgotten.

Just droppingin to say that the pace issues has been known since a long time and is justified imo.



The main problem is that we are reading one chapter per week. Kubo is more suited to write manga in volume form rather than in chapter form and because of the 1 week wait, the effect is emphasied.



If we had all the chapter out i'm pretty much sure that this pacing issues wouldn't bother 99% of the people actually bothered by it.



Don't see how that is justified, more like it says Kubo should NOT be a mangaka. :)



I'm gonna mention popular titles like OP, Naruto, Bakuman, Beelzebub etc all had 10x pacing in a chapter than Kubo... Do they drop in quality? Nope! Kubo just draws every little pointless scene, he's just stretching the manga out, when it's not needed... He's just killing it...



Also, to people who says this was emotional or had a meaning, really?! I've seen the likes of such scenes a hundred times already in other titles and have been portrayed in a better way, it's just getting boring.

                        Well this chapter was bittersweet. Ginjo actually died? Wtf is with that? We never found out what happened to him! How can Kubo just kill off such an important character!? Gahhhhh
