BLOOD WAR ARC OMG I’ve been waiting…

Kurtis Burkhardt

Loving the new and final arc, not nearly as much as the Aizen/Arrancar arc but still pretty awesome and awesome new characters 👍😻

Se está poniendo buenoooooo。。。

A strong start to the arc。 The Nazi undertones are definitely unneeded, especially in light of all the questionable things the author has put into this series。 Overall, a 3/5。

ooh I think this arc will be so good I need answers like right now

I swear, the fact that Mayuri essentially gets away with destroying the souls of thousands of rukongai district citizens just to restore the balance of souls signifies everything that is wrong with Soul Society, especially when Yamamoto essentially says if he had gotten permission first it would have essentially been fine。 The quincies are no better though, and their brutal takeover of Hueco Mundo (and how they keep Halibel) is disgusting。 I forgot how quickly things heat up with this arc as we I swear, the fact that Mayuri essentially gets away with destroying the souls of thousands of rukongai district citizens just to restore the balance of souls signifies everything that is wrong with Soul Society, especially when Yamamoto essentially says if he had gotten permission first it would have essentially been fine。 The quincies are no better though, and their brutal takeover of Hueco Mundo (and how they keep Halibel) is disgusting。 I forgot how quickly things heat up with this arc as we dived straight back in from the fullbringer arc with the newfound ability to steal bankai and the war being declared。 Still, it will be interesting to see what comes next as I can't really remember it all that well from my first read。 。。。more

We start off with Ichigo getting attacked by Ebern and they fight and at first he thinks he is an Arrancar and turns out its a Quincy and their battle is something。 The battles go on in soul society too and so many shinigami die and then enter Iban aka Quincy Supreme who has conquered Hueco Mundo and defeated Harribel too。 Nel comes in and asks Ichigo's assistance and he does and he goes there with Inoue, You know this is the way you start the biggest arc in the manga and wow what a start it is!

Nice Introduction to The Blood WarfareThis volume It’s an amazing introduction to the final arc。 I can’t wait more to read the next volume。 Absolutely recommendable for all people who love bleach。

This volume starts off remarkably strong。 For once we have Ichigo Kurosaki being on top of the game! Unlike other arcs, which always start with Ichigo encountering some overwhelming force that can destroy him, we get to see Ichigo as a proper Deputy Soul Reaper kicking some hollows' asses! He actually steps into the mentor role a bit with some newly assigned Soul Reapers who are meant to patrol Karakura Town, and seeing this older and more confident Ichigo take them on is great。 He's matured ove This volume starts off remarkably strong。 For once we have Ichigo Kurosaki being on top of the game!

As the story goes on we get to see a hint of what happened to the Arrancars after their arc, along with the welcome return of one of my favourite characters (and a dreadful return of some of my least favourite)。 It's the start of the Thousand Year Blood War arc of Bleach, the big finale that lasts the rest of the series, and we're going to see some all-powerful Quincy warriors fight! It certainly feels like a finale, taking bits and pieces of everything we've seen so far and using the Quincy characters as this overlooked but incredibly cool concept from the very first volumes。 。。。more

don't mind me just reverting back to my weeb bs during this quarantine。Finally starting the last arc of this series since they recently announced that they're going to revive the anime and complete the series (after almost 9 years of nothing。 not bitter at all)。Hoping this final arc is better than the last one but I'm keeping my hopes as high as the amount of effort and energy that Tite Kubo put into the series during its last years。。。 so I won't be expecting too much。 don't mind me just reverting back to my weeb bs during this quarantine。Finally starting the last arc of this series since they recently announced that they're going to revive the anime and complete the series (after almost 9 years of nothing。 not bitter at all)。Hoping this final arc is better than the last one but I'm keeping my hopes as high as the amount of effort and energy that Tite Kubo put into the series during its last years。。。 so I won't be expecting too much。 。。。more

And so, here we are, with the beginning of the final Bleach arc and it introduces us to a brand-new German (?) villain that especially looks to explore an unexplored angle with one of Bleach's main characters。 For the time being, I like what the premise is all about but will need to see if it will lead anywhere truly interesting of if this is going to end up being the downfall of the franchise。Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote。com/ And so, here we are, with the beginning of the final Bleach arc and it introduces us to a brand-new German (?) villain that especially looks to explore an unexplored angle with one of Bleach's main characters。 For the time being, I like what the premise is all about but will need to see if it will lead anywhere truly interesting of if this is going to end up being the downfall of the franchise。Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote。com/ 。。。more

Reviewed on Lili Lost in a BookI’ve read graphic novels in the past and, like, one comic book maybe, but this was my very first manga! Last Spring I binge watched the entire Bleach anime and I fell immediately in love with it! When I was nearing the end of the anime, I found out that the very last arc of the series was never adapted 😩 So because I loved the show, and because I’m a completionist, I just had to find out how the series ended, so I decided to give the manga a shot。 And guess what? N Reviewed on Lili Lost in a BookI’ve read graphic novels in the past and, like, one comic book maybe, but this was my very first manga! Last Spring I binge watched the entire Bleach anime and I fell immediately in love with it! When I was nearing the end of the anime, I found out that the very last arc of the series was never adapted 😩 So because I loved the show, and because I’m a completionist, I just had to find out how the series ended, so I decided to give the manga a shot。 And guess what? No surprise, but I loved it。 Lol。 Granted, it took me a little while to get used to because it was a new medium for me, but I’m so glad I gave it a shot!The “me” problem: because this was a new medium for me, I did have a little bit of a hard time getting into the manga。 One of the reasons was because I am just used to reading novels that I would just zip through the text in this and barely glance at the illustrations, and before I knew it, some guy lost an arm and I didn’t even know when! Lol。 I had to slow myself down and actually pause and look at everything cause otherwise I would miss bits here and there。I also had some trouble deciphering some of the illustrations because they were in black and white and sometimes close up。 Again, I had to stop and really take in the illustrations, to get what was going on but also to appreciate them because there were some that were particularly beautiful。。。 I also loved all the little sketches sprinkled throughout the book。 I love Yumichika! 😂 Anyway, having said all that, I think this was a good manga to start on because I was already familiar with the world and loved the characters。 I just love all the silly character interactions and how they make me laugh because they say the dumbest things! I love it! Lol。 And little Nel actually makes an appearance! I love her! She is so cute and I love her interactions with Ichigo! We also got some Rukia and Renji action there at the end, which yay! They are some of my favorite characters!So, this last arc starts with Soul Society residents disappearing all of a sudden and some Soul Reapers go and investigate and try to figure out what the heck is going on。 On top of that, the Soul Society is being threatened by an unknown enemy。。。 which we actually find out who it is at the end of the volume and oh my god! I was so surprised!(view spoiler)[You guys, it’s Quincies! 😲 I thought they were all wiped out! What the heck is going on?! (hide spoiler)]The Soul Society isn’t the only place experiencing weird things。 Strange things are happening in Hueco Mundo too。 Ichigo was in the world of the living battling someone, but with new weird/cool powers。。。 Can’t wait to see more of that! Anyway, Urahara helps Ichigo and his friends go to Hueco Mundo to see what’s up。 Once there they realize that Hueco Mundo is being run a third party。 It’s no longer the Arrancars that were under Aizen’s control。 In fact, Ichigo helps the Arrancars against this new threat, and the irony is not lost on me, seeing as how they were the enemy not that long ago。 Lol。This was just the intro of what is definitely bigger things at play。 The revelation of the new threat was insane! I can’t wait to find out what their deal is and what the heck is going on。["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more

Bleach, Vol。 55 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (480–489) of the on-going manga series。Soul Society begins to notice that a large number of Hollows in the World of the living has been exterminated and that people in the Rukon District have been disappearing。 Meanwhile, while helping Karakura Town's new residential Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki encounters a strange Arrancar named Ebern Asguiaro who attempts to steal Ichigo's Bankai before escaping。 Bleach, Vol。 55 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (480–489) of the on-going manga series。Soul Society begins to notice that a large number of Hollows in the World of the living has been exterminated and that people in the Rukon District have been disappearing。 Meanwhile, while helping Karakura Town's new residential Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki encounters a strange Arrancar named Ebern Asguiaro who attempts to steal Ichigo's Bankai before escaping。 At the same time, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto encounters a group of masked men who are of the Wandenreich and have come to tell him that the Soul Society will be destroyed in five days。 The group also reveals to have fatally wounded Chōjirō Sasakibe who later died of his wounds。Asguiaro and the leader of the masked figures, another arrancar named Luders Friegen, are killed by Wandenreich's leader。 As a funeral is held for Chōjirō, Ichigo encounters Nel Tu and Pesche Guatiche who reveal that Hueco Mundo, having been ruled by Tier Harribel since Sōsuke Aizen's defeat, has been taken over by the Wandenreich with many arrancars including Dondochakka captured。Ichigo arrives to Hueco Mundo with Yasutora "Chad" Sado, Orihime Inoue, and Kisuke Urahara as they find Wandenreich's Quilge Opie fighting Harribel's Fracciónes, now known as the Tres Bestias。 Meanwhile in Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi confesses to having had the missing Rukon residents murdered to maintain the balance of soul and that the hollows' destruction is caused by Wandenreich, revealed to be Quincies whose leader is someone Yamamoto failed to kill。 Meanwhile, informed on Ichigo being in Hueco Mundo, the Wandenreich's leader declares an assault on the Seireitei。This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Tite Kubo。 Wandenreich, a new organization, is introduced。 Composed of Quincies, human mediums that have the ability to detect the existence of Hollows and are rivals to the Shinigami, they have filled the power vacuum in Hueco Mundo, when Sōsuke Aizen was defeated。 It appears that the Wandenreich is opening old rivalries as they declare war on Soul Society and the Shinigami。All in all, Bleach, Vol。 55 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more。 。。。more

I was thinking about these books earlier this month because a lot of people I have talk to about them said that they did not like the series。 I love these books。 I think I decided that it was because I'm a sucker for the 'sword-and-battle' fantasies and the 'a-nobody-into-a-hero' fantasies。 I also like the artwork, which has matured nicely with the story。 Tite has done a great job here and this book is setting up a whole new arc where I can appreciate the characters one more time。 I'm looking fo I was thinking about these books earlier this month because a lot of people I have talk to about them said that they did not like the series。 I love these books。 I think I decided that it was because I'm a sucker for the 'sword-and-battle' fantasies and the 'a-nobody-into-a-hero' fantasies。 I also like the artwork, which has matured nicely with the story。 Tite has done a great job here and this book is setting up a whole new arc where I can appreciate the characters one more time。 I'm looking forward to more :) 。。。more

It's the beginning of a new arc。 Choujirou Sasakibe the vice-captain of the first division died。 He was killed by a mysterious people who attacked Genryusai Yamamoto, Kurosaki Ichigo, and Hueco Mundo。 It was revealed that these people are quicy。 It was also revealed that these quicy got powers that are like Bankai and Resurrección。 The volume ended when Ichigo is fighting with a commander that attacked Hueco Mundo。 It's the beginning of a new arc。 Choujirou Sasakibe the vice-captain of the first division died。 He was killed by a mysterious people who attacked Genryusai Yamamoto, Kurosaki Ichigo, and Hueco Mundo。 It was revealed that these people are quicy。 It was also revealed that these quicy got powers that are like Bankai and Resurrección。 The volume ended when Ichigo is fighting with a commander that attacked Hueco Mundo。 。。。more

Given that Manga, and especially Shonen is split up into bigger arcs as composed to volumes I will be analyzing and reviewing this by Arc。 I also reread this manga over the span of 2 months, some days reading as much as 100 chapters a day。 It would be quite tedious for me to review each 7-8 chapter volume。 So this will be copy and pasted throughout all of the 72 manga volumes。 That being said, if you're looking at this without having viewed the series。。。spoiler warning。 I don't recap anything, b Given that Manga, and especially Shonen is split up into bigger arcs as composed to volumes I will be analyzing and reviewing this by Arc。 I also reread this manga over the span of 2 months, some days reading as much as 100 chapters a day。 It would be quite tedious for me to review each 7-8 chapter volume。 So this will be copy and pasted throughout all of the 72 manga volumes。 That being said, if you're looking at this without having viewed the series。。。spoiler warning。 I don't recap anything, but I also mention things that happen。 If you want me to answer the question "Should I pick this up?" Yes。 Even if you stop at the end of the Soul Society Arc。 It's worth it。 Karakura Town Arc - Chapters 1-56 - Rating: 7/10(The official page lumps this in with the Soul Society Arc however I feel as if they are two very separate arcs with two very separate themes) - A fun introduction。 -An interesting premise on the idea of ghosts and demons (Hollows) -Does a good job of introducing the characters and I especially enjoyed the love for characters like Chad, Orihime and Uryu as these characters would later lose more and more spotlight as the series went on。 -It is a bit of a monster of the week。 When it works, like with Chad's introduction story。 It works。 But Characters like Don Kanonji felt superficial and very gimmicky。 Which, fair。 I didn't enjoy them as much。 Soul Society Arc - Chapters 57-182 - Rating: 10/10-The height of Bleach -Establishes an afterlife seemingly perfectly。 Later on revealed to be full of plot holes and never fleshed out but hey! That's not an issue in THIS arc。 The fights are top tier, the themes of Ichigo owing a life debt to Rukia and his passion and determination to rise above literally God's army is inspiring and to this day is why I love Ichigo so much。 He doesn't have some grandiose plan。 He doesn't have a major goal to accomplish。 He is a protector by heart, losing his mother has made him sour to failing to protect those he cares about and he'll do anything in his power never to feel that helpless again。 Very powerful stuff。 -The twist near the end of this arc is revolutionary and would make waves for the next 200 chapters onward。 A perfect ending and set up for the forthcoming arc。 -The only issues I have for this arc would be Ichigo's lightning speed progression。 The guy goes from being able to barely defeat a third seat to besting multiple captains in roughly 100 or less chapters。 I get that that is the point and him defeating captains was more of a struck of luck, but progression and pacing wise it feels very unearned and a factor of "for the plot he needed to be this strong" It only seems as fast as it is because Ichigo's progression slows drastically down for the rest of the story moving foreword so it's only now that I make that criticism。-Also, and this will be an issue in most Shonen。 There are 13 Captains with 13 Vice Captains and seats that branch all the way to 10 I believe? Regardless, there's a fudge ton of characters that are introduced here and it can get a little jarring at times。 Luckily, Kubo does a great job at making their designs and characters unique despite such a large cast。 Hueco Mundo Arc - Chapters 183-423 - Rating 7/10-This is another arc where personally I would split it up into two separate arcs。 But for the sake of this review I will simply refer to the first half of the arc and the later half of the arc。 First Half 9/10。 Second Half。 5/10。 -The first half of this arc is a great continuation of the last。 Ichigo now struggles with his inner demons and it affects his ability to protect the ones he loves。 We are also introduced to a deadly unknown new villains。 The Arrancars/Espada to this day remain one of my favorite villain factions in all of manga enemies。 -Just so you're aware I would say the first half of this arc ends right around the point of Ichigo vs Grimmjow。 Grimmjow is one of the first Arrancar that Ichigo faces。 And he's also one of two Espada that he faces three times。 The conclusion of that fight shows Ichigo conquering his inner demons。 Where Grimmjow is very much fighting to establish himself。 Grimmjow has to fight Ichigo to prove to his fallen comrades that he is as good as he says he is。 He doesn't care about Aizen, he doesn't care about the rest of the Espada。 It is very personal for him。 For Ichigo, Orohime is within his grasp of saving and he views this as his "final" battle。 It's my favorite fight in all of Bleach。 -However, this is where things start to take a bit of dip in quality in my opinion。 We had a goal and we were striving towards that goal。 Each character of the original cast coming to repay the debt they made to their friend who had risked her life to save them in the Soul society arc。 But somewhere along the way it seems we just had a fighter fest。 Captains would face enemies with no themes or character revelations。 The Espadas got a little light but nothing that made their fights compelling。 You almost just feel bad for the Espada as they were monsters turned into a military force by an unstoppable tyrant。 But even that wasn't enough to make half of the fights interesting。 Now, that's with knowing the outcome。 These fights played little importance in the larger scheme of things。 Where at least in the Hueco Mundo fights each match up had the protagonists striving for a goal。 Rukia to defeat Aaroneiro to free her former superiors soul。 Byakuya to defend Rukia。 Renji and Uryu teamwork。 Nel to protect Ichigo and get revenge on Nnoitra。 Whereas Stark fought Kyoraku。。。。。cause。。。。。and Hitsugaya fought Halibel because Water vs Ice would be cool。 -This leaves me to the end。 I won't say it wasn't satisfying that Ichigo was able to defeat Aizen。 And yes, I do feel like his new power was earned。 3 months of training。 But this was clearly a last minute decision to save Aizen for a later date and the show must go on。 I do feel like it wasn't as satisfying as 200+ chapter buildup needed to be。 The Fullbring Arc - Chapters 424-479 - Rating: 8/10-A very underrated arc。 And yes, I acknowledge that rating wise I think the Fullbring arc is superior to the Hueco Mundo arc。 That is mostly true。 Though I like the first half of the Hueco Mundo Arc more than the Fullbring arc。 The end of the HM arc really brought it down for me。 The Fullbring Arc is much more concise and is actually the shortest arc in the series and works as a glorified Ichigo getting his powers back arc。 But that doesn't mean its bad。 -When I read it originally back when it was coming out in 2010。 (Cause I'm Old) It wasn't phenomenal。 In fact, I hated it。 But wouldn't you? It took just short of a year to get to the point that we were at。 But upon rereading it, it gave much deserved love to the characters who hadn't been shown love in quite some time。 The original cast。 It was a very character focused arc。 Ichigo never seemed more human。 And despite me hating it before for taking so long, reading weekly can sometimes hurt these mystery based arcs。 The twist is heavily foreshadowed and I really appreciated it。 -That being said, the end was super rushed。 This was a big bummer for me。 The villains this time around were humans。 And the ones who had the most exposure and relations with these characters were the original cast who again。。。。were humans。 So to have the soul reapers, who have no connection to the fullbringers show up and basically no diff most of the fullbringers felt very forced and fanservicey to me。 This very well could have not been Kubo's call。 As the community was very vocal about their dislike for this arc as it was going on。 But I appreciate it now much more as I appreciate character and story over big sword fights。 Lol。 The Thousand Year Blood War Arc - Chapters 424-689 - Rating: 5/10-And we're finally here。 The final and largest arc within the Bleach story。 And man。。。does it not stick the landing。 -That being said, this arc has phenomenal moments。 Kenpachi's Shikai and Bankai。 Ichigo's double swords。 Renji's true Bankai。 Rukia's Bankai。 And many more。 However, they are put together against the most break neck speed arc that I have ever read。 Kubo was very ambitious when he introduced 26 new villains。 However, most of them got barely any screen time and a lot of them even got off screened by higher level captains。 This was unlike the Espada who each got a full double page spread for their Resurrections。 -Yhwach himself was a phenomenal villain but was dealt with swiftly and imo dirty。 They did him dirty。 -There was just something off。 The mood changed and it was very apparent。 The villains had random powers instead of the powers reflecting their personalities or needs。 The finale felt so underwhelming。 -Ichigo gets to be the strongest he's ever been。。。。but he doesn't defeat a single person besides the main villain despite being in several fights。 -It isn't a good arc。 In fact, I would say it's the worst。 Hopefully the anime does a better job with this already mammoth of a story。 260 chapters is no joke。 This gives the story of Bleach an Overall rating of 7。4/10。 Which to me is above average。 It has it's ups and downs。 It's not perfect。 But when it's high, it's peak shonen。 But when it's low, it's very forgettable。 。。。more

*3。5 I think it was a good start for a new arc。 Introducing new characters and seeing old ones like Nel and the arrancars, the Vizards。 The death of a character so early in this arc is so devastating。 Start of a new war makes me nervous because one beloved character is already is gone。 The enemy is someone that Head Captain Yamamoto knew over a thousand years ago。 The horrible results of this first attack was awful I really can't take anymore deaths。 *3。5 I think it was a good start for a new arc。 Introducing new characters and seeing old ones like Nel and the arrancars, the Vizards。 The death of a character so early in this arc is so devastating。 Start of a new war makes me nervous because one beloved character is already is gone。 The enemy is someone that Head Captain Yamamoto knew over a thousand years ago。 The horrible results of this first attack was awful I really can't take anymore deaths。 。。。more
