Bleach Chapter 686 Discussion

I appreciate that in the end the best girl won. I mean this was obvious from their tag team against Juha already. Not to mention that it pretty much was the only romantic pairing to have any sort of development or progress. I mean the start of Arrancar arc part? That pretty much made it obvious too. Its also a logical pairing as both Ichigo and Inoue were haunted by the tragedies in their families and its nice to see them both healed from that.



I am sad that the corporate execs killed pretty much last interesting weekly shonen series that had so much potential and was consistently enjoyable. There's no real reason to even read WSJ anymore.



I agree, I'm not so sure how Ichigo felt about her during the series, never saw from him anything (perhaps I missed something), Orihime was obviously in love with him.

Shitty ending Shitty couples and Shitty manga 4/10

Ichigo the gruff that he was at the start, was very good at masking his emotions.  Let's not forget Arrancar arc also having a lot of moments towards that. It was a common speculation at that time that Ichigo might have in some way heard or felt at least the part of her whole farewell situation. I mean he figured out enough that she was in his room and healed him while he slept too before being interrupted by Hitsugaya.



Stuff like this is self explanatory too:










Even Aizen separates her from the rest of her friends:





Not to mention that her distress is what triggered H2 too, which leads to Ulquiorra saying he understand what a heart means and that Ichigo and Inoue are interesting to him. Let's not forget that his Hollow side was his repressed side, things that he did not want to accept too.



So he either somewhat heard her confesion or subconsciously recognized it but a person who can't accept himself can't accept others. Fullbring arc was all about how much of despair and anger and guilt Ichigo hides behind his behavior and how what happened to his mother haunts him. Which also included this moment which pretty much has a double meaning too:





In the last arc though once he actually let go of his anger and restraints, accepting himself and it became was very much obvious.

Wow, unbelievable. I've been reading this manga since its inception, but I've never thought I'd be bitter about an ending before in my life. I had to make an account just to air my grievances. Just a few out of the many complaints I have...



1. First of all, that ending. Seriously Kubo? Seriously? You had one last chapter to at least give a half-assed explanation to why Yhwach lost (I would have taken anything at this point, hell, you could've had the Soul King pop back out), but instead you waste it on this family bs. Aizen gives an out-of-character speech about courage, Kazui one-shots the remnant of Yhwach's power. Great. So the trait of being overpowered apparently runs in the family. I can't even begin to describe how ridiculous it is that Ichigo, a man obsessed with fighting is suddenly married. Kubo has made it very clear that he is not a big fan of romance. The only one he somewhat alluded to was between Gin and Rangiku, but he made sure to kill off Gin before he had to write any mushy scenes. But whatever. The only person I'm satisfied with is Chad becoming a boxer, although I feel sorry for his opponents.



2. The sheer amount of ignored and undeveloped characters is astounding. I understand that Ichigo is the main character, and that the story must revolve around him. I get that. But if that's so, what the hell is the point of introducing all these other characters? While it's true that Kubo shows us characters' bankais that we've all been waiting to see, almost all of them are unexplained and thrown in without purpose (ex: Unohana's bankai. Still don't know what she did). Grimmjoww and Nel are thrown in only to fade back into obscurity. Tsukishima (hate this guy) and Ginjo randomly show up to give our trusty ol' main character his power-up back. Urahara's fight  is left open-ended. And what the hell happened to Komamura? And Yachiru? Ugh. I guess what has me the most bitter is that my favorite captain Ukitake was given a unique concept of saving the Soul King, but was ultimately tossed aside like nothing just so Ichigo could have his one-on-one with Yhwach (who, btw, subsequently raped him). Smh



Anyways, as you can see I'm salty to the max. I had hoped that at least the announcement would be that there would a sequel or anime reboot that would answer all our questions. But nooooope, we get a live action movie. Oh well. Here's to a series that I could definitely say marked my childhood. R.I.P. Bleach.

You think this is the end. And hope someone tell me what the announcement was again.



Live Action movie.

Who care about shipping in Bleach anyway?

Wow Orihime won, dat surprised me xD, though doesnt really mind she looks hot, Congrats! :D

The Kids looks cute :3

Well Happy End, good end, though wished they would also show other char. like Grimmjow, Nel, Yoruichi... D:



I enjoyed Bleach back then, especially Hueco Mundo and SS Arc ( and friggin hot babes), but after, just went downhill...still a "fun ride"

Hopefully this was his last work, isnt the worst writer though needs to develop a better "shounen" storyline without pointless power ups and senseless brain dead fights...



Wouldnt mind if he cooperates (as a illustrator only) with another mangaka to work on a new series

What the hell so this is how Bleach ends.



Lol Ichigo's new haircut & he got together with Orihime. Renji & Rukia. Both couples have a kid.

Kazui & Ichika.



One of the first manga I ever read along with Naruto.   



Farewell Bleach.
