How does Kubo manage to pack so little into a chapter? It's actually an impressive feat. It constantly shocks me how little occurs every week.
By showing shitload of characters taking one step and saying one dialogue before repeat it on another character.

He has no idea how to move his plot along so he just introduces new characters at an accidental plot slowdown to give the appearance that something has happened. In reality this gums up everything even worse and slows the story down even more.

How does understanding you're being slapped between 2 giant hands help you avoid/ignore it

Yeah, that was stupid. Regardless of what abilities he activated after the fact, he got crushed by two gigantic hands while having the power and life force of an ant. He should have been pulped. I suppose you could just say that he didn't in fact have the power/life force of an ant and that the monk's ability didn't actually work on him, but that too is silly, because the monk's other abilities certainly worked on him.

Bach quickly scribbled "man" onto the name right before the hit, so he actually had the power and life force of a black antman.

None of that fight makes sense. Ywach impaled himself with an arrow hard enough to send him flying back onto the platform and he was totally cool about it.

Maybe Bach doesn't really understand how his power works because if he did he would defeat himself or something I think that's how this works.

So, was the soul king always an amputated husk? I thought he had butterfly wings the last time he was seen(before being stabbed).

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
I was wondering when someone would bring that up. Ugh.

He was only ever shown once before then, wasn't it? It looks like he had limbs in his first appearance, though. Strange.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

So YWACH's soul is like, a bunch of :rolleyes: I guess which encapsulates the general attitude of the viewer toward the manga or at least his attitude?

He's actually had his Hollow third eyelid closed this whole time. Now he's going to open his eyes fully and reveal even crazier eyes.

His hollow form (mask up, by falling off) showed it changes his eyes when he's powered up, and they don't change til the power up completely fails, iirc (Tite doesn't remember either, though, in my defense)

Exactly as many times as people have named endings to the series because we're probably going to get a truly terrible ending.

I realize it's probably a reference to the name of God but YWACH just makes me think "YUCK" whenever I read his name, so it's like the thread title is expressing disgust that Bleach has gone this long.
