Bleach Chapter 636 Discussion

Kubo continues his crusade against arms

^ Ichigo has a good long range attack and way more speed than kenpachi to beat thing thing



And yeah, this chapter was pretty bad. Not because Zaraki got his ass kicked, but because it's once again all talk and 0 motion. Kubo never leanred "exposition woven into the narative", at least not when it comes to battles.

Kenpachi getting wrecked like that was unexpected.

Was pretty good chapter compared to the last ones.

Pretty okay chapter. Kenpachi acting reckless and getting owned. Mayuri comes in to save the day with his intellect.

Even the fight felt boring imo.

Surprising to see Zaraki not dominating the fight.

Kubo: better cut off another arm for good measure.

Mayuri: MEATBALLS MEATBALLS MEATBALLS.

Zaraki: Fuck this. Talking to myself.

Good chapter.  First in a while, which means we've got about a month or two of really bad chapters ahead of us now.



Interesting how people seem to think Kenpachi is weak now.  Kenpachi is a straight up melee, brute force fighter and this particular enemy cannot be beaten by straight up melee, brute force fighting.  It does not make Kenpachi weak, Kenpachi is still quite strong actually, but these Sternritter are powerful and have unique abilities that give them certain advantages/disadvantages against the Soul Reapers.  This is a fight for Mayuri, a fight that requires tactics, strategy, and intelligence.  Kenpachi will get his fight later, I'm sure.  Besides, he didn't even put 25% of his power into this one anyway.

Eh...
