The end of an arc that so many people bashed for no good reason. It was really thought out and logical, as well as it revealed a lot of information... the thing is, that information wasn't SHOWN CLEARLY. It was between the lines. Most of people who have shallow reading skills and simply skipped through the pages instead of READING, didn't get most of the arc and just decided to bash it, instead of thinking that maybe they just didn't get what it was about.
The finest example is the confusion around Tsukishima's death (who CLEARLY died and almost a whole chapter was about it) or now Riruka's death (she CLEARLY didn't jump, it's CLEARLY visible).
If people don't get OBVIOUS and CLEAR messages, how are they going to get the ones hiding between lines? This arc was probably one of the best from Kubo actually, definitely one that he spent some thought on and decided on the ending from the start (unlike Hueco Mundo, where it was clearly drawn out as long as possible).
The way Ichigo proclaimed his independence from Soul Society (by asking for Ginjou's body, who was a substitute shinigami just like himself) was done really nice. Now they know that he trusts them, but they better not fuck with him or they'll be in for some good beating.
i doubt ichigo would want to come within a 1m radius of kenpachi let alone give him a beating.
anyways. bleach shudve ended with aizen. now if kubo wants to do another large arc, he better do it with no repetition. for example, half the action cant be centered around saving cinderella (Orihime)
