Jump's tightening restrictions on their copy releases. Probably not going to have Wednesday updates anymore.

How? Don't they have to send out copies a week ahead of time to make sure they get to the more remote parts of Japan?

I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved that three Sternritter were offed off-screen. On one hand, they -might- have had interesting powers. On the other, there's already plenty of them. On the last magical third hand, Sternritter power-fights even at their worst would probably be more interesting than sword ghost push fights, Mayuri of course excepted.

Edit: Spoiled just in case since it's new.

Four, almost arguably five since he's probably going to skip back to a cleansed/hollowified Hitsu standing over Giselle instead of showing that I bet.

Really weak rear end chapter. It also feels like a lot of stuff doesn't really flow or make sense. Wasn't Giselle engaged in combat immediately when she reached where Kenpachi was?

Of course a fat black dude would be Sternritter L "The Love".

Smooth, Kubo. Real smooth.

... though I guess it's better THAT than Sternritter N.


Also you people are crazy if you think those 3 offed Sternritters are going to stay dead. Jizzelle will find a way to escape Mayuri's funtime just long enough to bring them all back to life. Just you wait.

Of course Byakuya would be the one to fight this dude. Even if he loves this guy, he'll still manage to kill him, because of duty or some poo poo. whoopee im on the edge of my seat because nothing like this has happened 4 times in the past or anything

Quincy or Shingami?

the Shingami zombies are Kensei, Rose and Rangiku. Kensei and Rose were "willed" or "imagined" to be dead by the guy Zaraki beat 20 chapters ago. Rangiku was defeated offscreen by the guy Hitsugaya defeated before he fell.

That's Kenpachi, who would have also been a pretty awesome fight, assuming this guy could actually fight. Though I doubt he could so the imagination guy was probably better.

There was foreshadowing for one of the Quincy using some power on Renji which heavily implied he would do something because of how much time he spent "observing" him. That is now a complete red herring and a waste of time. :v:

And the unnamed old Quincy who went toe to toe with Kyoraku and actually took out his eye is apparently completely outclassed now.

To be fair, is there anyone who actually wants Renji to reappear, let alone be relevant?

Is that what you took from those scenarios? Kyouraku was distracted, by the Yamamoto fight if I'm not mistaken, and Old Glasses shot him in that exact moment, then apparently still couldn't finish him off. No reason to suspect he was anything special. And I think the "observation" was a literal one, as in not referring to an ability (admittedly Kubo loves doing this in his characters' speech) but to how he was sitting there watching Renji expecting him to do something for so long.

I don't think I'm getting the page with Hisagi and Byakua. Did Hisagi get mind controlled by Pepe (is Pepe the "L" sternritter?) but he doesn't know he's mind-controlled?

Yes. Hisagi's last line is "I just really wanted to for Pepe Sama's sake." He is also confused as hell about what he is doing.

You forgot Pride.

Formerly: Holding his to his word even though it was going to get Rukia executed.

I really, really want Mayuri's coke nail to come up at some point because it's always there. There's got to be some ridiculous or absolutely mundane reason for it. Only one or the other.

Underwhelming Kubo. I think by now 'I can get people to follow my orders' is the most common power.
