This chapter was clearly dedicated to my pants, and the struggle that comes whenever Yoruichi is in a chapter.

Yeah, I like how the Special War Potentials thing is basically in-universe acknowledgment that certain characters tend to pull ways to win out of their asses (or in this case, put ways to win in other people's asses).

Why isn't Mayuri on the list?

Because Urahara is more Mayuri than Mayuri.

His inclusion on the list does feel a little off, given it originally sounded like "potentials" of an uncertain nature - he did ask Aizen to join him, didn't he? - whereas the monk is just a giant bad rear end.

But on the other hand his wisdom is enough to cheat death, so maybe that's what they meant. The Quincies don't really seem especially well trained.

It's cool to see these characters but I also forgot they existed before this and I wish Kubo would stop introducing characters instead of building on good ones.

My favorite part of that movie was how even in a side movie like that. Chad is utterly useless. He catches a falling girder in the exact same way he does in his manga introduction, and then proceeds to get taken out by some mook and has to spend the rest of that crapfest not able to fight. It's amazing.

Bleach returns to the trend of having a really good fight ruined by extension.

On the other hand, maybe we can finally see what Urahara is capable of, which might be really good....

It's pretty much peak Kubo, only way funnier and cooler because it had Yoruichi and Urahara.

Like, this is the one opponent where this new power is even useful.

Just like how Nanao's God Killing Sword was literally only useful fora guy who become a weird owl god.

Yoruichi's new power would also have been useful against Szayel, at least.

Idk how I feel about Yoruichi being a literal cat lady now. Like before it was just mostly thematic and personality poo poo but she is literally acting like a cat and I'm just like "Man, that's kind of lame." Even though the new lightning form is p cool.

I'm assuming it's also a set-up for Yoruichi being furious at Urahara later, which will be fun.

I liked that one of his only good female designs could only compete with a D-list villain by being transformed against her will into a mindless sexual animal who can only be controlled by a perverted older man, and even only then wasn't capable of actually winning but just setting up her rescue by the older man. It's also really cool that Fairy Tail comes out on Thursdays now

Glad Askin isn't dead yet cos that was some bullshit. His power was complete asspull but a more competent/less lazy writer would still have had his character find some hole in their armour, not just constant my dad one upping. And yeah, full cat Yoruichi was pretty gross.
