It's starting to get really weird recently. lol
It's starting to get really weird recently. lol
Every week I read this hoping Kubo will make this manga awesome again...still hsn't happened ._. this arc is such a mess. It's like everything's there on the table but he can't put shit together properly.
What? I'm talking about these guys:Spoiler: show
Pretty sure they're all quincy.
He's controlling both Quincy (as well as Hisagi) with his power of "love". They aren't Zombiefied, but compelled by "love" to do his bidding (to kill each other and the Shinigami).
He's in it to make sure everyone is dead and steal credit of getting rid of the Shinigami threat there. So 3 opposing forces using controlled thralls.
Oh gotcha. For some reason I thought those two female quincy were killed by finger laser guy earlier (went back and reread and they were just injured), that threw me off.
Also, as far as we know, Mayuri isn't fighting the mind control Quincy and his love slaves; Byakuya is. Mayuri is still dealing with trap Quincy.
I hope Kubo finishes this zombie shit fast. It's a fucking lame ass plot-device that for whatever reason shounen mangas love.
Kubo really needs to stop creating so many characters that he has to offscreen death em to keep things moving at a lolsteady pace.
So. . . whose "love" will be stronger?!
TAKING ALL BETS!
I mean, they have to show up at some point. What better time for Tsukishima to pop up than to deal with a guy who "influences" peoples' hearts? Although I do wonder what would happen if he cut one of Gizelle's zombies.
Who Time-Guy/Ginjo end up fighting is anyone's guess though. I expect Ginjo to somehow bullshit his way into the Soul Palace to interfere with Haschwald or Uryuu while Chad/Orihime deal with whoever Ginjo doesn't. For some inexplicable reason I'd like to see Riruka show up but I doubt she will.
A lot of reasonably compelling characters that he did fuck all with and ended up gibbing en-masse so people would stop asking about them. At least Kira died on-panel. We still have fucking Grimmjow (why?) and Halibel floating around doing who knows what, too. And Nel (whom I hope gets her mask fixed because as hilarious as kid Nel is, adult Nel was the bomb).
You're assuming we see any of those characters ever again, since the number of SRs has dropped by about half.
Kubo made a point of showing them.. I could see Kukaku shooting them up to the spirit palace -- although not sure what good they'd do up there.
Let's see..
Yachiru vanished (literally) and hasn't been seen sinse or explained what happened to her.
Shinji and Momo were fighting Burning Finger but either got defeated off panel or ran away.
Kensei and Rojuro were dead before then they show up again as zombies with no explanation if they were really dead or not.
Burning Finger showed up again and was fighting Renji and Rukia but that has been overlooked.
Byakuya off screened three Quincies and we don't even get to see their individual powers.
Shuhei somehow got healed, defeated some Quincy, then got possessed by the one with the gay ass powers. All off panel.
Newly Captain Commander Shunsui is apparently off getting drunk somewhere instead of helping.
Did I miss anything?
Zaraki is assumedly drinking at the same bar as Shunsui and who the fuck knows who/where/what Ukitake is doing.
Kubo created too many characters.
Kensei and Rojuro's deaths were explained. I believe it was the guy Zaraki fought -- he imaged them dead or w/e.
