Nah if you're lucky you have a bankai that can't be damaged like Byakuya, since apparently the most glaring weakness of any bankai is that if they sustain any physical damage then it can never be repaired*.

that'd be great if Bleach weren't completely obsessed with 1v1 duels to the exclusion of everything else

There were a lot of fights where one group mobbed up and went in on a single guy, problem is it was always the Soul Reapers ganging up and they always got their asses kicked when they did it.

To be fair, that's not a thing exclusive to Bleach. The more ninjas there are in a room, the more unstoppable Bruce Lee becomes, you know.

Goddamn that chapter is some classic Kubo story-telling clusterfuck nonsense and I love it.

He even managed to do the thing he did with bleach at the end of the chapter where he suddenly introduced a shitload of characters and my first thought was "yeah there's no way we're going to see enough of these guys to justify their existence in a five chapter run."

Four chapters is a nice length because I can just marvel at the character designs and names and not have to worry about things like personalities or development that will never happen.

The first chapter was intensely dumb, managed to capture the Kubo trademark insanity and I still can't get over how the two leading heroines are just gender-bent Ichigo and Byakuya with big-rear end honkers.

In other words, I love it.

I mean to be fair standard shonen protagonist stuff was kind of the entirety of Ichigo after a while.

Also yeah this chapter did not feel like a full quarter of an entire story.

If Kubo wants to do this as an irregular series (i.e. ongoing story arcs, just not as a constantly-ongoing-till-cancellation weekly manga) I'm all for it. Would be good for Jump to experiment with a format like that.

Pfft. If we're going by grave cultural errors that are super serious and very definitely important, the fact that Ninny and Noel are buying their tea from a machine during lunch is a big one. I mean tea machines exist, but not in the Japanese fashion. The only time you'd grab tea from a machine is if you're attending an event or function of some kind, or you're at some other company's office or something, otherwise you just boil a kettle and make your own.

Female Byakuya has big breasts, female Ichigo appears to be flat. I see Kubo went all out in diversity. Actually, that's not fair. Rukia was also petite.

Also good to see that Urahara, Santa and Ywach still have work as well.


This looks fun though, I look forward to the next 5 chapters.

Outside of Orihime all the girls with the huge honkers are grown rear end adults, so :shrug:

I'm not about to go through the Bleach wiki and compare every girl's breast sizes but the only ones I can think of that aren't comically large are just Rukia, Soi-Fon, and Nanao and probably isn't a coincidence they're the most normal looking women in the series

Kubo’s problem is that he generally draws either no breasts or huge knockers. You can see it in his human friends.
There's no in between.
Yoruichi is closest to in between.


And naming Hiro is cheating. He doesn't draw women, he draws pin up dolls.(That somehow still look more hi and than what Oda craps out)
