Bleach Chapter 686 Discussion

Can't believe there are people who are actually defending this ending or the last arc in general. Don't know if it's blind fanboyism or Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

Anyway, as always, worst girl wins. I feel like it's a law in Japan or something that it must happen every time.

Not like I care much. It's just hilarious seeing all these people who's followed this series for years be surprised that the master of all trolls pulled a shitty ending. What did you honestly expect?

Welp, this series was a pointless and boring piece of crap...

This was a 9/10 for me. Read the all chapters in a week in a half. The only disappointing thing for me was it did seem a bit rushed at the end. Where and what happened to Urahara,  his posse, Yoruichi, Ichigo Dad, etc?  I think it was meant for the reader to assume everyone was fine, but I wanted to see they were fine. I was so sad that Yachiru died in the war, I know Zaraki feels empty without her. Overall a happy ending.

good grief, it's finally done.

I don't even know what to say.

just... fucking shit, man.

at least chair-sama made one final appearance. that's the only thing that saved this god-awful chapter.

hopefully this will set a good example for mangaka

for kubo to be so delusional that he thought he could drag-out bleach forever even while losing more then half his audience already, and go onto produce this dogshit ending for a 15 year old mangaAre you trying to insult Togashi or Miaura?





neither as even with the hiatuses HxH still sells amazingly and im pretty sure of the entire magazine Togashi has the most control over his story

Berserk im not sure, i think it will get the Kubo treatment in the future aswell, i could be wrong though i havent seen berserks sales



Still Berserk has a godlike plot.

Ichigo married Orihime.. No more Ulquihime D:

This ending left so many unanswered question.. What happened to Kira? Lille? Valkyrie? Grimmjow & co? Halibel? Ryuken and Isshin in the last battle?? -and some other characters, i can't name them all-



Well, i hope that they'll make another chapter to explain all unexplained things..



My final rate for this manga is 7/10.. (5/10 if Ulquiorra didn't appears in this manga lol)

The thing is...nearly every manga tells you at the very start who is going to win.



Shokugeki no Souma will almost definitely end with Erina x Souma, Nisekoi was always going to end with Rakujou x Chitoge, etc, etc. Shounen romance is generaly simple af and all comes down to paneling and such.



Bleach managed to build up two characters together for 15 years, build up the idea that it's not safe for Ichigo to stay in the human world (we know this because that's also the reasons Captains need limiters) and build up Orihime growing stronger as a person so she wouldn't have to rely on Ichigo and then, in ONE chapter, toss that all down the drain.



People are surprised because this is the ending of someone who doesn't care about their series. If Kubo wanted to do a troll ending then he should have had Ywach return and kill everyone like that one theory went - that would have been an 'ah man, it was set up and paid off, lel' not a 'wtf is this bullshit.'



For me, I'll just write this entire arc off - I enjoyed the FB arc and felt it added to the characters so that can stay, but this arc...beyond that one mini-arc with Masaki's backstory and Ichigo being kicked out of the SK palace, really didn't do anything for me. He introduced great characters and then did nothing with them, like he always fucking does, and even spent so damn long on the boring ass fights with the SK shittily designed right hand men.



If I were in WSJ - Kubo would never be getting another series with us unless he had a writer. The man has simply lost the ability to tell a coherent narrative.

So exactly why do you guys think Kubo was "forced" to end the manga? I'm asking because I found this entire final arc to be an incredibly boring failure, just like Hueco Mundo or Fullbringer arcs.



Probably got canned by WSJ. Read somewhere that it's sales had been declining and that it consistently ranked among the bottom of the magazine. They kept giving him chances, but got fed up and told him to wrap it up, since he clearly wasn't gonna be changing any time soon.

So I'm the only one bothered by the fact that two shinigamis can make babies



Ninja'd you on that already mate. It's kinda hilarious that in the long history (1000+ years) of Soul Society, Rukia and Renji are the first ones who ever looked at each other and went "Let's fuck and make babies".



Why is it surprising? we have seen noble houses having successors for the family. It's not that weird that souls can reproduce.
