| Now the chapter's up. 456 - End of the Bond 2Normally I would say something about the chapter, but I'm pretty sure all anyone is going to care about is this: | |

| Man, it sucks to be Ichigo right now.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the person in the spread is Ishida, not Nanao. I think if Nanao was in it she'd be up by Ukitake and Kyoraku.
Speaking of Ishida, it seems like this villain guy inserted himself in Orihime and Chad's memories where Ishida should be. I wonder if that's why Ishida is the only injured one. And if that's the case, what would Chad and Orihime's reaction be if Ishida showed up? Would they remember him?
I feel like maybe it's getting interesting again! ^_^ | |

| 457 - End of the Bond 3The Fullbring names sound even more idiotic when they're strung back-to-back and the mohawk kid has the worst limit break in the game. I will say that Suspenders is turning out to be a nice change of pace as far as villains go. He seems to be genuinely outclassed by Ichigo, so all his trickery and hiding behind meatshields seems like something he actually needs to do, rather than him just being an asshole. So Slickback takes a hit for Ichigo and the way it's drawn I guess it supposed to be poignant, but fuck that guy, I don't give a shit about him. But fear not, Ishida's on the way! | |

| Yeah I was a little confused about why the other members of Xecution were attacking Ginjo. Guess Suspenders used some mind trickery on them as well.
Can't wait to see what happens with Ishida, though. | |

| 458 - The End of All BondsThat's it! No more bonds! You know, betrayal only means something if the characters and their relationship are well developed and the betrayal makes any goddamn sense! | |

| So Ginjo getting cut the first time made him act like Ichigo's friend, and being cut a second time made him back to normal, which is someone who was attacking Ichigo? Is that the right interpretation? That's what I got out of it. I particularly like Kubo's drawing of the panels on this page and this page. | |

| What's up with the Deathnote gambit? It's not like he couldn't pretend to be his friend. Devious people do that, y'know. *sigh* poor excuse for a mirror of the S.S. plot twist, with Tsukishima playing Gin and Ginjou playing Aizen.
It'd be awesome if I hadn't already seen it. | |

| At least the art was nice.
I enjoyed this chapter just because Ishida was in it and he's sexy. I now only glance through Bleach for the sexy characters. | |

| OMG guys. Rukia's back!! Not only is she back, but she got a haircut and is now the vice captain of Squad 13. And, it looks like she stabs Ichigo again and he becomes a Shinigami again. WTF, there is actual character development and shit going on. Am I still reading Bleach?? Spoilers are up at BA, btw. | |

| Jumping Blue Catfish!!!
I had a feeling Rukia would be riding to his rescue but I never dreamt it'll be as a Vice Captain. It looks like some serious changes occurred in Soul Society while we weren't looking.
Come on lets see some more character development!!!!

| 459 - Death and Strawberry 2Well that was the longest walk to the most obvious fucking reveal. And goddammit, Rukia looks like Momo now! I'm not surprised to see that sh'e a Lieutenant. Kubo made a point of telling us that she was Lieutenant-level, but that Aizen and the Hogypku nonsense was keeping her from promotion. | |

| Things are getting exciting but still... 17 months? That's how long he's being cut off from everyone in Soul Society?
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't Kisuke supposed to be contained in a forcefield for a month as a FU gift from Sui Feng?

We don't talk about that. And even if we did, it's it was 16 months ago. | |

We don't talk about that. And even if we did, it's it was 16 months ago. Or at least until whats-his-face gets his missing arm back to cast that spell. Seriously that better not happened off screen, I'm tired of this crap. If done right it can be a compelling story. Kisuke is trapped and Yoruichi confronts Sui Feng about it. I'm talking something along the lines of your FISHSCALE fanfic which shows not everything is all roses and wine between the two women. Yes, I read it and sorry for not leaving any feedback. | |

Your right, if done right it could be compelling, but hoping for that kind of focus on tertiary characters is a fools errand since Kubo likes to create new ones rather than develop old ones. Really, I hope that it doesn't happen off screen either, I hope it is completely forgotten. And not because it made me groan as a Sui-Feng fan, but because it makes the precise moment Kubo ceded control over his characters to the fans. Up until that precise moment, the idea that Sui-Feng held any animosity for Urahara was a fan construct. She had never mentioned him in any capacity, hostile or otherwise. And then after that? Isshin becomes this wrecking-ball that can literally flick Aizen around, Yoruichi goes from being a very grim and serious character to cracking jokes and making faces, and Gin...holy shit Gin... I talk a lot of shit about the Fullbring arc and for good reason, but at least it feels like Kubo is taking control of is manga back. | |

| The new form of Zangetsu looks a lot more sinister now. Awesome!!
I thought Rukia looked more like Hanatarou with that haircut, personally.
But I'm excited to see Ichigo bring the pain to Ginjou and suspenders next week. | |

| Okay, I admit it, I enjoyed this chapter.
Holy fuck what did Rukia do to her hair?! It's a mess!!!!!!! Dear lord change it back, change it back now!! Glad to see her back though. And I'm now wondering which other shinigami have changed up their appearances. | |

| You didn't like it? I thought it was weird at first but now I like it. I think it looks cute.
But yeah, I'm definitely excited to see if anyone else in SS changed their look. | |

About ceding control over character to the fans. Are we in that boat too, hoping that Yoruichi and Sui Feng are more than just mentor and student? However, I agree that surrendering to the whims of the fans can destroy any franchise very quickly. I'm just hoping that with Rukia back, we can now get back to the Soul Society and with 17 months gone by there has to be many changes to some of the characters. Good ones I hope. - PolarisAmane wrote:

I would have thought it was Nozomi at first. | |

I don't think so. When I talk about ceding control, I mean the incorporation of unsubstantiated ideas into the canon. I challenge you to find anything that foreshadows Gin being anything more than a sociopath, or that Isshin was that powerful. I feel like ships are different in that regard because they exist on interpretation of existing material. Unlike with Gin, I can point to precise lines of dialogue and panels that lend credence to YoruSoi. | |

| Goddamn, Rukia haircut looks just awful. And apparently Byakuya stole Aizen's jacket. Also, is Kenpachi carrying a broom behind his back? | |
