Good lord,it ended.And what a trainwreck it was.
I found it hilarious how the very last chapter cover has everyone in the human cast shown....And the back of Ishida's head.Really suits his role in the series overall,haha.
Like the last 10 chapters,it was completely rushed and it really,really showed. Ichigo and Hime hooking and getting a kid when Ichigo would barely even notice her was pretty terrible and sudden,if somewhat predictable IMO (like NaruHina,but this one eventually got itself a movie somewhat explaining it). Shounen manga and their epilogues with kids. Renji and Rukia together was cool though.
Having Ywach maybe return,only for Junior to show up and take his residual power out like nothing? Another anticlimax,although teasing Yhwach's return in the first place in the second-to-last chapter was a pretty terrible choice to begin with.
And finally,a glimpse of how the fight ended and...Meh.Nothing was really explained at all,and Aizen,of all people, gives the aesop about courage and needing to accept the reality of death.
Not even gonna bring up the cast that either casually bushed off death,or just plain disappeared (like Grimmjow,Yoruichi and ESPECIALLY Nel and Harribel).

I have been reading Bleach weekly ever since catching up with it over a decade ago and it really never recovered after the first Soul Society arc.«
IMO, a lot of the problems with Bleach started at the SS arc. I though the very first arc was by far the best of them all.
Anyway,up until Warwelt happened,Bleach've left me pretty numb.This rushed ending.....Was pretty flaccid as well.
GG,Bleach.
