Bleach Chapter 686 Discussion

This chapter is more pointless than the "final" fight with Yhwach. Really sad for unresolved plots and all the forgotten characters. I know, final arc wasn't so good from the beginning but this rushed end is even more WTF. Glad Aizen is alive but really SS imprisoned him again lol?! Is pretty clear he can free himself whenever he want. Ichika and Kazui are very cute :)

Well, I had been following Bleach for like 5 and a half year and seeing it end in this rushed, incomplete way is kind of sad despise for it to been mediocre the past 5 years lol



Though I would never had guessed that parings  for the characters would happen right at the end lol In that case, Then even Gintama might hopefully do the same thing once it ends at well, but in that series they actualy have build-up for most of the characters xd

Um, well, damn...



There goes Bleach. I wish the fight was longer, but Kubo was not given time for this.



Overall a pretty cute chapter.



So its IchigoxOrihime and RenjixRukia (RenRuki was a bit sudden but its fine)



Kazui is damn cute. He took out that little ball of Yhwach's power,

Ichika looks so brattingly cute. She is a combination of her parents.

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.

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.



Wasn't it implied that they adopt spirits, not reproduce?



I think Shihoin clan is a good example of a possibility that they can reproduce as Yoruichi and Yushiro definitelly look related.

Where are chapters after 686 . I mean it has 705 chapters but i cant seem to find others

Bland as fuck ending. I literally felt nothing. Ichigo x Orihime and Rukia x Renji.... bah! Feels like Naruto all over again. The RenRuki kid looks really retarded. Like it shouldn't have existed. Bleach gets a 4/10 from me.



To be honest, I'm more surprised at the fact that spirits can have kids.



Makes you wonder what the point of the living world is if in the Soul Society you don't get hungry if you don't have reiatsu, you live for millennia and age slowly, and can procreate.



Souls reincarnate. You don't create new souls.



SS inhabitants are not literal souls. They are bodies made out of reishi inhabited by a soul.



Any newborn be it in real world or SS is reincarnation of someone passed away.







Yes, yes, yes. Memories of Nobody. So instead of flesh and bone made out of carbon and calcium we instead have flesh and bone made out of reishi... Which also causes them to age slower, except in Ichika's case.....

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.

Somebody is completely misreading whole manga through shipper goggles. Uh oh.





Bleach built up both Ichigo and Orihime to open up and move past their past tragedies and build a new happy family with each other. THAT has been constant progress and that as been pretty much the only romance that was constantly moving.



Orihime started out as someone lingering onto  her brother's death and who lived alone and without a family. She lived alone talking to a freaking portrait and having no idea what she wants of life or even whether her existence is worth anything.

Ichigo started out as someone driven by his guilt to hide behind the punk facade and avoid opening up to anyone around him. He hid his guilt behind his angry face and he grew obsessed with idea of protecting others at the expense of his own wellbeing to the unhealthy lengths(as explored in Fullbring arc).



Through the story we have seen both moving forward because of each other and learning to move past their past tragedies. Hell, we literally spelled that out with the Orihime saying that she will heal Ichigo no matter how broken he geats to Riruka, which is double-meaning in that it both means physically and it both means moving past what haunts them.



It came to the point that even other characters like Rangiku, Ulquiorra, Grimjow, Nnoitora or even Rukia noticed their building romance. If anything it was set in stone ever since the battle against Ulquiorra. All that was left was for Ichigo to accept himself and heal emotionally, escaping being haunted by despair surrounding his life. Which he did in the last arc. I mean you would have been blind to not notice that they will pretty much become a pair in the last arc, especially in the last tagteam fight.



No no no - I assure you I am reading it clearly, I would be happy for Ichigo to end up with someone else but Orihime? Lol



It wasn't. At all. Ichigo never even looked at her romantically, he never looked at Rukia either but at least he...had interaction with her outside of a group setting, or a fight. Orihime was moving forward, as a person, to grow beyond the idea of hero-worshiping Ichigo.



Oh wow, she would heal him - do we ever actually see any moment, ever, of Orihime helping Ichigo mentally. I mean ever. She has an entire damn breakdown about how it's always Rukia who helps him through his problems, and it is, with Matsumoto. This does not change. Orihime has never been the person who Ichigo talks to about...anything, at all. Ever. Do you see where I am coming from.



JESUS CHRIST. The characters noticed her lover FOR HIM, not a budding romance. Are you the shippiest motherfucker around? They had one tagteam fight and that makes them a pair? That was the only moment in the damn series that they actually felt like friends, that they actually seemed to speak to one another and if you can't fucking do that after a couple of years fighting then I don't know what to tell you.



Open your damn eyes, their development is wank. Ichigo never gets over his loss anyway, his loss is pretty obviously represented as his hero complex from a psychological sense.  Unless you're saying that - off-screen, Ichigo gets over his hero complex, falls in love with Orihime for no reason other than...boobs? And they bang pretty much immediately after Ywach dies.



Also his haircut looks fucking shit - at least Orihime, Renji and Rukia all look good in the last chapter.
