Bleach Chapter 671 Discussion

                        ----------------------------------------

                        Meh, a pretty typical fight with Toshiro demonstrating his abilities...



That cliffhanger with Byakuya though.

Hopefully he dies with this, the shinigami side seems to be running out of upgrades

Hitsuguya & that ultimate freeze on Gerard. Zaraki grabbing onto his foot & Byakuya with Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. Nice teamwork there.

So many blades. Hopefully Gerard is finished for good.

And his special power as soul king whatever activates and 3 of them badly wounded

It was at that moment when he said "I've aged a bit" that all the fangirls straight wet themselves.



Pretty nice teamwork from those 3 who always had their own views on fights, I asked for this a couple of chapters ago and I got it, thx Kubs you're cool.

How the hell do Ice powers allow someone to decide to change their age??? Why couldn't he do this before???? I'm struck by how frantic quickly these battles seem to be going. The story itself is dragging on and on forever, yes. But each chapter is basically HEY I AM GOING TO DO A MOVE. It fails. NOW I AM GOING TO DO A MOVE. It fails. Eventually someone succeeds but is injured. Some teamwork happens but its frantic and is just an unbalanced pace of throwing out new tricks in each chapter which are destined to not work anyway and not as much actual fighting, just hey here's a new trick, oh no he tanked it its his turn to do a trick now, okay cool I have to tank it so I can take my turn to do a different trick for him to tank until eventually one of us dies. Its devolved into such a basic pattern and little other fighting actually happens and its just trick winning but not really losing but not really etc and its become so basic, despite the fact that there are now so many new characters and despite reading every week like I have been for over a dozen years, they've all been forgettable and I have no idea what any of their names are. Not that some of these chapters haven't been cool or been visually cool to see some of their powers finally revealed but its just sad to see the state its in. Anyway at some point he'll run out of side characters to kill off and we'll get to see a full out Grimmjow battle and Chad will probably be completely ignored along with a bunch of the earlier protagonists and eventually he'll remember that Ichigo is the main character and he has to figure out what to do with the story and how many transformations he wants to do to wrap things up. I can't imagine Yhwach and Ichigo being an interesting final fight as things stand (I can imagine Aizen absorbs him or something and they have a rematch or some other shenanigans) because in all honesty it just looks like it'll be a really boring finale because Ichigo's been out of the game for so long and neither of their powers looks like it'll make for a new or exciting battle. The Ichibei fight was the best one in recent time and I just don't see where the story is anymore its just fan service at this point "hey look at the new powers of your favourite characters" the concept of this war and that there's anything at stake and who our main cast is is long forgotten.

Karins gonna love the new form teehee

Still no explanation for Toshiro's growth spirt, I guess that is one of those unanswered questions. But grown up Toshiro looked awesome, why he doesn't like that form, I don't know.



So Kenpachi still not out of the fight, and Byakura is planning something, so they are trying to team work, that is something you don't see much in Bleach intentionally team work especially from Kenpachi, I guess you can call it character development.
