I'm sorry and I take back my words. Please don't let this end yet Kubo. One chapter left is just ridiculous as there's still a lot of plot threads needed to be resolved



Let it go. It was going nowhere and Kubo long lost an idea how to put everything in place. It seems Kubo came with a smart idea to create something(soul society, sword abilities and bankai and Aizen betrayal) but after he wasted his original inspirations he didn't have much and he could only focused on fights instead of story when he was thinking what to draw.

No shit this was rushed and a mess, Kubo barely had anytime to work with anything.  This final fight was literally TWO CHAPTERS.  He has no choice but to cram shit in and make up an ending.  There was some foreshadowing in regards to Ichigo and his sword, but we couldn't get the proper buildup because it's being rushed like crazy.  It sucks but it's not the first time this has happened to a Shounen Jump series unfortunately. Look at Hitman Reborn, Beelzebub, Psyren, hell it's happening to Toriko right now.



Next chapter is supposedly the last chapter, we're not even going to get a proper epilogue.  It's beyond disappointing.



Bleach was popular as fuck. The fact that it lost that popularity so much that even had to get cancelled talks about the mess Kubo did.

THAT'S THE END? THEY NERFED YHWACH THAT HARD? Uryu uses his still silver arrow and nullifies all of Yhwach's powers. Aizen's Kyoka Suigetu's illusion also stopped Yhwach's power to change the future and then somehow Ichigo, even with his Bankai, Ichigo just kills Yhwach with his old Shikai with just a single slash. The ending is so bs LOL .

Well at least they didn't beat him by all merging into ichizen or Aizigo.

.it's only a speculation at this point and unless Kubo or Jump actually talk about the reason why this is rushed as hell, we won't know the reason for sure.



But one thing for sure, if Jump want to cancel a series to publish new title, it won't be Bleach for sure.

Bleach sales is on par with Shokugeki Souma which currently having anime adaptation, it's mobile game is quite popular, it's still garnered a lot of money unlike most people make it out to be.



If Jump want to cancel a series, it would be stuff like Toriko or Nisekoi which actually having a trouble to break past 300k sales.



Actually from what I heard Jump posted official information saying that Bleach is ending next chapter.Um, well, I knew...

We're talking about the reason it being rushed like this.

He said it's cancelled by the magazine, I said it's unlikely because Bleach still makes quite a lot of money.



Oh, then my bad. In that case, though, I'm pretty sure that Kubo is being rushed in some way. Maybe he wasn't fired but he's definitely being hurried. I mean, the manga was treading at a snail's pace until very recently, and Kubo was still bringing up new plot points until recently as well. Plus, honestly, I'm 100% sure that this is not the way Kubo wanted to end this series. You're right that Bleach is still making money but it's dropped dramatically in popularity since this arc started and ratings are lower than ever before.. so it's still possible that he was fired even though I really don't want to believe that.It's true that it's losing populairty a lot but people tend to disregard the fact that it's still makes a lot of money and that is what Jump really cares.



It's like saying Naruto was also cancelled just because it's ending is rushed as hell.



Well, the possibility of this actually cancelled by the publisher exist, but we won't know the truth until Kubo or the publisher decide to talk about it.



But from marketing point of view, if Jump want to dispose a series from their magazine, Bleach is far from the right choice, as I've stated above there are a few series that is more disposable than Bleach.



It still sells decently, which is why I don't think that Kubo got <i> fired, </i> per se, but he's obviously rushing the story. Which is why I think that Jump is rushing him. When you look at the past fights from other arcs, they (mostly) definitely weren't rushed (rather they were dragged out), so what other explanation can be given? If fights between minor characters got to be dragged out, then why is the FINAL battle of the ENTIRE SERIES getting this terribly rushed ending?

I don't think that Kubo got bored and was ready to dump the series, but it's still a small possibility. It's more likely that there's a deadline he has to meet--and he's struggling to finish on time. It's possible he made a deal with Jump a while back, like 'Give me 30 weeks to finish the series', Jump agreed, and now he's trying to finish before then.

Ishida with there trump card stops the power of Yhwach temporarily and thats enough for Ichigo to kill Yhwach



1 chapter left

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

                        So with that...a combination of attack by Ichigo and Uryu, Yhwach takes the beat after getting literally slit in half. Hmm, can't say I'm surprised to see the conclusion of the fight this way.



Literally getting beaten by a blade..

Bleach didn't really end well. That's a shame since I used to love this series at some point. Welp, one more chapter to go. It's somewhat Kubo's fault for dragging it for so long and then being forced to end it quickly. He should've taken things into account.

Ichigo slashing Yhwach with Zangetsu. The arrow to the rescue.



So final chapter next week. How the hell is this going to end?
