This arc was much more interesting than the Fullbring arc。 We saw more from characters I care about more， and the deeper history of Soul Society was more interesting。 I was disappointed in Uryu's limited role （greatly）。 I still think the Aizen arc was the way it should have ended， but this at least answered a few more critical questions and gave readers the ending they were really looking for， which might have been the point of these arcs to begin with。 This arc was much more interesting than the Fullbring arc。 We saw more from characters I care about more， and the deeper history of Soul Society was more interesting。 I was disappointed in Uryu's limited role （greatly）。 I still think the Aizen arc was the way it should have ended， but this at least answered a few more critical questions and gave readers the ending they were really looking for， which might have been the point of these arcs to begin with。 。。。more

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

I love it when things finally start tying together。

Cada capítulo es una bomba， nunca había fangirleado tanto en silencio como con este manga。 Ya quiero ver el anime de este arco， se que los fans llevan esperando años， los puedo entender， es demasiado。

I do appreciate that more time is being spent on plot development， but the big reveals here are pretty lame and underwhelming。 I've kept my expectations low for this arc knowing the disappointment more of the stronger fans have experienced， but the author has still under-delivered。 Overall， a 2/5。 I do appreciate that more time is being spent on plot development， but the big reveals here are pretty lame and underwhelming。 I've kept my expectations low for this arc knowing the disappointment more of the stronger fans have experienced， but the author has still under-delivered。 Overall， a 2/5。 。。。more

being adapted into an anime！ 🤗 I am so happy！ It’s actually been some years since the last season was released， but I am glad that we will be able to watch this arc on TV because I really enjoyed it！All that being said， spoiler warning for previous volumes in the series！ Spoilers for this volume， volum Reviewed on Lili Lost in a BookIt’s been a hot minute since I last reviewed one of these volumes， so I think I should mention that since then， it has been announced that this last arc of Bleach IS being adapted into an anime！ 🤗 I am so happy！ It’s actually been some years since the last season was released， but I am glad that we will be able to watch this arc on TV because I really enjoyed it！All that being said， spoiler warning for previous volumes in the series！ Spoilers for this volume， volume 60， will be in spoiler tags。After having my suspicions confirmed in the last volume that Ichigo’s mom was indeed a Quincy 😱， I was beyond excited to dive into this volume and learn more about Ichigo’s parents and their past。。。 and boy did we ever！This volume starts off with a flashback。 So we know that Ichigo’s dad is a Soul Reaper， well back in the day he went to the world of the living to investigate some suspicious activity。 Meanwhile， Ichigo’s mom， Masaki， is living with Uruyu’s dad and his family because they’re friends but also set to be freaking married！ 😱 Anyway， they also feel this weird energy and go out to investigate。 So things happen， they fight an Arrancar thing and Ichigo’s dad saves Masaki。I really liked Ichigo’s mom—she’s very kind and has this sense of responsibility for the lives of everyone out there and she just wants to help wherever she can。 I can totally see where Ichigo gets it。 Oh and when Ichigo’s parents finally meet。。。 it was super cute！ 🥰（view spoiler）[During the fight with the creature， something happens to Masaki， that messes with her Quincy powers。 Basically， she runs the risk of Hollowfying and the only solution is for a strong conflicting power to help stabilize her （i。e。 a Soul Reaper who can turn human via a gigai AKA Isshin because apparently humans are the opposite of hollows 🤷‍♀️）。 The down side to this is that if Isshin agress， he won't be a Soul Reaper anymore。 It is such a big commitment and yet he agrees to help this girl he barely knows！ It’s pretty incredible。 So in order to stabilize her， he basically had to be around her to pretty much keep her alive。 And all of this was with the help of Urahara， of course。 Anyway， then they fell in love and it was very cute。 So during all this time， Isshin was forced to be a normal， human guy。 It wasn’t until after Masaki died that he was able to be a Soul Reaper again。So because there was a Hollow inside her when Ichigo was conceived and born， Ichigo basically inherited it which is where his Hollow self comes in。 It makes a lot of sense！At the very beginning of the show （and manga， I presume） we learn what happened to Ichigo’s mom and how she died， but it turns out that there’s more to it！ It was all Yhwach’s doing！ He just went and killed off a bunch of Quincies。。。 a consecration is what he called it 🙄 So her death was all his doing。 （hide spoiler）]In this volume we also find out what Uruyu has been up to， because I’ve sure been curious。。。 and omg。。。 WTF dude！ He’s been doing things and I just cannot 😩 And speaking of Uruyu， we also find out the reason why Uruyu’s dad， Ryuken， is so cold and why he left his Quincy family。（view spoiler）[First of all， them Quincies are a bunch of dicks。 Second， after what happened to Masaki he didn't feel like he could protect other Quincies， he felt like he’d failed her， so he just left。 （hide spoiler）]As for the rest of the Reapers in the present day， well a bunch of them have lost their Bankai， so they’re training in other ways to make up for it。 And Ichigo is back at the palace still trying to get a new Zanpakuto， and boy do things get interesting。。。（view spoiler）[First of all， no more Zangetsu for Ichigo because his new Zanpakuto is a freaking Hollow！ 😱 But also because apparently Zangetsu is a FAKE！ When Yhwach first appeared he seemed familiar to me。。。 I thought it was just a coincidence BUT NO！ In this volume we find out that the guy we thought was Ichigo’s partner was actually Yhwach this whole fluffing time！！ Well， kinda。 Apparently Zangetsu was not Ichigo’s Soul Reaper power， he was Ichigo’s Quincy power this whole time！！ And that is the cliffhanger we are left with in this book！ （hide spoiler）]I just cannot believe the revelations we are getting left and right in these last couple of volumes！ But everything makes so much sense now！ Ichigo’s past， his powers。。。 everything！ Wow 😳 Man， I am impressed at the amazing storytelling and—it’s just so good！ There wasn’t much action in this one which I was totally okay with because the character development in this and the revelations were WOW。 I really enjoyed the mythos in this volume regarding the Hollows， Soul Reapers， Quincies， and even humans。 It took me like two read through to get it 😅， but when I did I found it fascinating！ Great volume all around！["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

We get the full story of Masaki and how Yhwach was involved in the extermination of impure quincies in this volume， and Ichigo returns to the Soul King's palace and learns that who he thought was Zangetsu was actually a younger version of Yhwach。 Honestly， I am past surprise at this point and kind of want the action to come back a little， as right now it's a lot of exposition and talking， but it's still fairly interesting。 We get the full story of Masaki and how Yhwach was involved in the extermination of impure quincies in this volume， and Ichigo returns to the Soul King's palace and learns that who he thought was Zangetsu was actually a younger version of Yhwach。 Honestly， I am past surprise at this point and kind of want the action to come back a little， as right now it's a lot of exposition and talking， but it's still fairly interesting。 。。。more

The backstory of Ichigo's parents is told！ We learn why Ichigo is the way he is and Tite Kubo finds a way to justify all of it in-story。 We also get a glimpse of the other Soul Reapers preparing to fight the Qunicies again， and a little bit about how the Quincy are preparing the next step of the war。 Honestly the volume kind of works but the big reveals this late in the game are kind of weird。 Ichigo is a human！ Soul Reaper！ Hollow！ Visored！ Fullbringer！ All these things in one！ And more！ Even i The backstory of Ichigo's parents is told！ We learn why Ichigo is the way he is and Tite Kubo finds a way to justify all of it in-story。 We also get a glimpse of the other Soul Reapers preparing to fight the Qunicies again， and a little bit about how the Quincy are preparing the next step of the war。 Honestly the volume kind of works but the big reveals this late in the game are kind of weird。 Ichigo is a human！ Soul Reaper！ Hollow！ Visored！ Fullbringer！ All these things in one！ And more！ Even if it makes sense why things work out this way it's so overly complicated and interconnected without any big satisfying payoff。 Kubo is trying to top himself， go even more big and beyond extra for this new villain Yhwach， but he already did that with Aizen。 Now it's just the same thing。。。 but more。 。。。more

The origin story for Ichigo's parents is revealed and completed with this arc。 It's a huge stretch and such an odd twist to the narrative and world-building that was introduced since the beginning。But the worse of all twists come at the end when Ichigo learns the true face of his Getsuga Tenchou。。。 This is some major retconning that almost feels like a distress call， to be honest。 To be seen what happens next。Yours truly，Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote。com/ The origin story for Ichigo's parents is revealed and completed with this arc。 It's a huge stretch and such an odd twist to the narrative and world-building that was introduced since the beginning。But the worse of all twists come at the end when Ichigo learns the true face of his Getsuga Tenchou。。。 This is some major retconning that almost feels like a distress call， to be honest。 To be seen what happens next。Yours truly，Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote。com/ 。。。more

Bleach， Vol。 60 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters （531–540） of the on-going manga series。Years before Ichigo Kurosaki was born， Isshin Shiba was sent to Karakura Town to investigate the presence of a Hollow。 Isshin would encounter the Hollow， revealed to be creation of Sōsuke Aizen's named White， and that the creature has the same skills as a Soul Reaper。 The spirit pressure from the fight attracted the attention of Masaki Kurosaki， a pure-blood Qu Bleach， Vol。 60 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters （531–540） of the on-going manga series。Years before Ichigo Kurosaki was born， Isshin Shiba was sent to Karakura Town to investigate the presence of a Hollow。 Isshin would encounter the Hollow， revealed to be creation of Sōsuke Aizen's named White， and that the creature has the same skills as a Soul Reaper。 The spirit pressure from the fight attracted the attention of Masaki Kurosaki， a pure-blood Quincy， as she comes to Isshin's aid。Though Masaki helps Isshin destroy White， she ended up being bitten by the Hollow。 The following day， confronted by Ryūken Ishida's mother over her transgression and nearly endangering the purity of the Quincy bloodline， Masaki collapses as a hole appears on her chest。 Isshin learns of Masaki's condition upon returning to Karakura Town as he and Ryūken bring her to Kisuke Urahara。Urahara reveals that Masaki is undergoing hollowfication and that a part of White got transmitted into Masaki's body and is consuming her soul。 Though it is impossible to cure her， Urahara explains it can be treated with a vaccination made with an opposing force。 However， Isshin must remain by Masaki's side in a specially made Gigai made from human souls so she can spend the way of her natural life as a human。Knowing he must relinquish being a Soul Reaper and remain trapped in the Gigai， Isshin abruptly accepts。 Isshin concludes the story by revealing to Ichigo that he regained his Soul Reaper powers the day Masaki died。 Isshin then explains that Masaki's death， along with Uryū Ishida's mother Kanae Katagiri， was caused by the propagator of the Quincies: Yhwach。Later， Ichigo is taken back to the Royal Palace under goes a new test where he chooses his own Asauchi that would be forged a new Zanpakutō。 As Nimaiya begins to forge， it is revealed that the entity known as "Hollow Ichigo" is both an offshoot of White and the real Zangetsu。 Furthermore， the spirit known as "Old Man Zangetsu"， reminiscent of a younger Yhwach， is actually the personification of Ichigo's Quincy powers。Meanwhile， as the Soul Reapers prepare for another assault by the Wandenreich， Yhwach welcomes Uryū to their side。This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Tite Kubo。 This tankōbon explores the heritage of Ichigo Kurosaki – and a convoluted one it is！ Isshin Kurosaki （née Shiba）， his father， was formally Shinigami Captain and descended from one of the five noble families of Soul Society。 His mother， Masaki Kurosaki， is a pureblood Quincy of the highest caliber – she was infected by a Hallow created by Sōsuke Aizen。 This makes Ichigo Kurosaki half Shinigami and half Quincy， a Vizord， a Fullbringer， and an overpowered bad@ss。All in all， Bleach， Vol。 60 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more。 。。。more

Sixty volumes！ Wow。 This volume is mostly full of Ichigo’s father’s past and how he met Ichigo’s mother。 The story was interesting enough。 I can’t decide if Kubo had this end plot all planned out from the beginning but if I had to guess I would say no。 This arc seems like a new idea being tucked into the old plot。 It’s works okay， but the fact that I feel that way implies that it doesn’t flow perfectly。 But hey I can’t help but still like the series。 I liked the twist at the end。 It gave my hear Sixty volumes！ Wow。 This volume is mostly full of Ichigo’s father’s past and how he met Ichigo’s mother。 The story was interesting enough。 I can’t decide if Kubo had this end plot all planned out from the beginning but if I had to guess I would say no。 This arc seems like a new idea being tucked into the old plot。 It’s works okay， but the fact that I feel that way implies that it doesn’t flow perfectly。 But hey I can’t help but still like the series。 I liked the twist at the end。 It gave my heart a wrench that's for sure， but I like it the more I think about it。 Artwork is nice。 I really like the panels of close up faces – they are very well done。 Looking forward to the next installment。 。。。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
