Bleach Chapter 653 Discussion

Lille's finally dead? Good fucking riddance lol.

Literally nothing happened this chapter wtf

And another one is dead.

So......that's it? Not as interesting as I would thought before.



...but that power would help when fighting against Yhwach later.

Wait.....lille is dead? Lol I thought the last page was some kind of an attack.

Um I think this is one of those "Last resorts" where it can only be used once or has a very long cooldown

Nah, it can be used more often without long cooldown. The problem of this weapon are:

- it kills every male that wielder love (or something like this)

- Bach sees the future

- Bach can do tricks



I bet that Bach (or his people):

- would kill a wielder before the wielder kills bach

- let the wielder kill him => someone destroys/seals the weapon => someone revive Bach



So it's useless... But I guess they will try and they will sacrifice Kyouraku.... and I was so hyped to see his Bankai.

Eh? The front and bottom is much better.



He's not into her face

I see what you did here, literal guys. Haha





This chapter was bad. I wonder why Kyouraku didn't let someone analyse that sword. I bet Mayuri would make copy of that sword without bad effects.

People complaining about Nanao most likely missed the point of everything so far.

Shunsui lot his brother and his brothers wife. And he made promises to both and those promises converge in protecting Nanao.

Thus its obvious shunsui made sure Nanao would never have to fight or be in some dangerous situation.

It also was foreshadowed in Shunsui/Ukitake VS Yamamoto fight where she had a huge freak out and Shunsui expressed regret of having brought her there.

Shunsui carried out his promise too well. She has never been injured. She never fought. She never experienced fear in battle.



By allowing Nanao to fight here and take the front (Which is yet again theatrical allusion with background and foreground of the stage)), Shunsui is actually trying to make peace with his regrets and allowing Nanao to graduate into being an adult.



Pretty much knowing her backstory it makes perfect sense that she reached her status through nepotism. The backstory part is pretty well written overall it still was a boring chapter, very anticlimactic like many mentioned.



Tbh Kubo should have splitt this into two chapters with some more text, focusing this one entirely on the flashback, adding some details, maybe expanding on Shunsui´s and Ukitake´s backstory and the next chapter could have been the conclusion.

However my personal assumption is he wrote himself into a corner with that dumb ability because he specifically wanted to imitate the legend of Susano, which is why Lile took the serpent form to represent the Yamatano Orochi, and Nanao the role of Susano with the yata mirror in her hands.



My assumption is that Kubo changed the roles, here and that Shunsui here is the Maiden that should get sacrificed.



However its boringly written in the grand scheme of Bleach.

I think it will be a lot better if it ended wit kyouraku's bankai and lille didnt turn into that ugly form
