Bleach Chapter 487 Discussion

pretty good i guess

I like this chapter, there's a nice balance between humor and seriousness. The pacing for this arc is good and I'm very interested in the Quincies.



It's understanding that the casual reader of Bleach is either surprised or frustrated by the comeback of the arrancar girls. Kubo has a bad habit with leaving some characters' fate in the unknown for unbelievably long time. I only knew Harribel and her fraccion were alive because of fan translation of a data book.



Aizen never intends to kill his victims (he prefers to have witnesses he can rule over), so Harribel didn't die back then. Old Yamamoto also mentioned he recognized the fighting spirit of the fraccions so he only light roasted them. After the war the surviving arrancars in town were healed and they returned to HM. I think this was for the best since HM needs a king/queen to keep it together.



Yes, it certainly is frustrating to leave the reader doubtful for years, and then finally hint their survival in a data book. Why not mention it in a conversation in the manga, it can't be that hard :/  



Loly's fate was shown in a in-between chapter page. Ishida saved her with an arrow that stuck her to the wall. Menoly was knocked out by Yammy and never seen again, so it was unknown what became of her. these two should have died back then I think, but it's like Kubo never wants to kill off a female character.

Forgotten characters reappearing.. I would like to see Grimmjow, maybe next chapter?

Did they just go to Hueco Mundo just like that?

Without any preparations? It's like 'I feel like going to HM' *poof* done!

At least Urahara is with them.

And more characters that are long since forgotten that reappears. Seriously.

inb4 Grimmjow appears when all of them get beaten up.

i hope Starkk returns his death is not 100% true to me unlike Baraggan that really died lol

Wtf? Didn't Yamamoto burn them to a crisp?  Oh well, I hope we get to see Grimmjow soon :D

                        Great, more scrub returns...I thought they were all dead already? Guess not, but you can't blame me for forgetting what exactly happened to them, can you?



Either that, or captain Yamamoto couldn't even be arsed to finish the damn job.



Man, this chapter was probably worse than the previous one. Those Vanderreich guys are so ineffectual, they make the imperial Stormtroopers look like Napoleon's army. They don't bother to check for strange noises, kill and beat potential allies and they burn the ground which they are walking. It's as stupid as lighting a fire in a forest.



Highlight of the chapter: Ginjou coming back to life and gaining a huge rack.

Am I the only one who's liking where this is going? All that violence, it really is starting to feel like a final arc. It might just be a matter of time before the emperor starts hunting in the real world too.



I'm surprised by how much it feels like all earlier arcs were preparation for this large one... I can only hope that Kubo Tite won't screw this up before he's finished telling this story.



PS. None of those reappearances surprised or bothered me.



same w/ me. i dont care that they are back and I don't remember any of them actually dying. I am just trying to wait patiently for Grimmjaw!  I hope Grimmjaw and Ichigo team up together that would just be so cool.
