Kenpachi gets god's arm grafted onto his stump. Then he has two of the same arm, which unlocks his Stand Power.

His stand is just a second Kenpachi.

I decided to get caught up after not reading for a long time. The last time I read anything was when the zombies were fighting in Soul Society. Turns out not much interesting really happened in all that time. Guess I'll get caught up again in 6 months or so...

Binge reading Bleach sounds a lot more painful than just devoting five minutes to it a week.

That's about how long it takes to read a volume honestly. And binge reading makes the pacing problems seem almost non-existent

So apparently there was a fanbook released with a new volume that had a popularity poll that I figured I'd post so you guys can make fun of Japan's taste or something. It's for only characters in the gotei 13.

1. Rukia
2. Hitsugaya
3. Byakun
4. Gin
5. Kenpachi
6. Renji
7. Shuuhei
8. Yumichika
9. Ukitake
10. Shunsui
11. Aizen
12. Soi fon
13. Mayuri
14. Urahara
15. Shinji
16. Momo
17. Ikkaku
18. Rangiku
19. Kira
20. Yoruichi

But there is also a bonus chapter in this thing where Mayuri is doing something to the half of Kira's body that remains

Considering how little it progressed, binge reading was pretty fast. I would stop reading entirely but I'm this far in, so I may as well see how it ends.

I can't loving believe Kira actually died. Was it even mentioned after the fact, did anyone care at all?

Also i'm pretty surprised Yumichika got into the top 10. Not unhappy, but still surprised.

Wait Kira died? Bleach has reached a point where unless like, you get some kind of confirmation it's nearly impossible to tell if someone's dead or if they're just passed out and super hurt because people will come back from literally anything otherwise. Like when that one rear end in a top hat kept all his buddies from being burnt to death out of nowhere.

He was split in half in like the beginning of the whole arc.

Immediately before Bankai were stolen.





VVV GRANTED. There have been characters cut in half and harmed in similar ways, but they were shown receiving medical attention immediately after. Kira gets this, and never shown again.

The worst thing about Bleach is that the gore is actually pretty good, and yet it matters so rarely there's no impact at all.

I mean, we just saw Kenpachi tear his goddamn arm off. How many of us really expect him to have one arm from now on? Among those, how many expect that to ever slow Kenpachi down?

Bleach could have actually been a horror manga if Kubo had the guts to cull the bloated cast over the years instead of holding onto every single one, just in case he came up with a cool use for their powers later.

The only permanent injuries I can think of are Yamamoto having one hand (which is explicitly because of some bullshit refusing to get healed thing) and Shunsui having one eye (which Kubo just loving forgets half the time).

From what I remember Hiyori got medical attention after a few chapters of waiting for Ichigo and then a few chapters of waiting for the Aizen fight to change locations so Unohana could show up

That's not getting cut in half. That's just slightly worse than what the big titty captain got when that giant deer-snake-thing hollow tore her torso open. I'm sure he'll show up later and be fine.

Orihime could give him back his arm at any time. It's been shown there isn't a time limit on her powers so...just have to run into each other.

Comes down to whether Kubo thinks Kenpachi is better as a one-handed warrior.

Well. Kenpachi is now missing an arm. He is also supposed to be, "Special" if I recall correctly. Or a War Asset.


And, they're fighting a giant arm..

Mayuri is right there for some quick surgery..

Kenpachi's gettin' himself a God Arm!
