Bleach

[Yangsing]

Finally some story progression?

[Xno Kappa]

Either way this shit is pathetic, Kubo has taken trolling to a whole new level and made the entire 8~9 years of the manga's history a grand "just as planned." The only saving grace I can see so far in this mess is that it allows an entry point for Isshin Kurosaki and possibly Urahara.

This Kubo ex Machina better be freaking worth it.

Spoiler: show

-I'm literally laughing that we all knew Isshin was going to show up. That Kubo is ending every chapter on some super cliffhanger shows how very little he cares about the progression of this manga.

Although with Isshin's appearance, this payoff better be fucking worth it.

I swear this is just getting ridiculous.

Oh, and to piss everyone off even more... no chapter for about 2-3 weeks after this.

[Khajit]

There was no dynamic entry 1 hit ko attack on Aizen. I am disappoint.

[Drex]

Oh God

Oh God
Oh man
Oh God
Oh man
Oh God...

[kuronosan]

Worst line reading ever?

[Odesseiron]

I swear this is just getting ridiculous.

Oh, and to piss everyone off even more... no chapter for about 2-3 weeks after this.

Wow, really? That kind sucks. He's taking breaks to "work" on the manga like every month-6 weeks now. It's more funny than anything, but I just want to see what ridiculousness (word?) it's brought to with the next issue.

haha ichigo mom gonna be ending being an arrancar, but I do agree same style of cliffhanger every damn time....

[Karbuncle]

Anywhere to read this now or gotta wait?

[konoko]

yep taking 3 weeks off to write a 4 page chapter seems to be the norm for bleach >.>;

at least in onepiece/fma the story moves somewhere every month >.>;

[Pharaun]

There was no dynamic entry 1 hit ko attack on Aizen. I am disappoint.

QFT

[shidobu]

lol called it! now i wanna know what rly happend to his mom. Even if im gonna get trolled

[Tymon]

Isshin, fuck yes

The whole rest of the chapter, fuck no

One month wait, fuck YOU.

[Abandon]

We like to keep it in the family around here

[Stiker]

Kubo is leaving no doubt to his readers that he has no fucking clue on where to take the story lol. For the sake of the manga, I hope he takes this break to seriously sit down and plan this shit out and try to actually have it tie together instead of this constant stream of bullshit.

[kuronosan]

Full Spoiler (warning, facepalm imminent):

tl;dr version:

Spoiler: show

Aizen had a hand in Ichigo's creation, birth, and progress this entire manga. Every time Ichigo thought he was doing something it was being manipulated by Aizen. Aizen knew where the Hogo was for 100 years before tracking it down.

In other words, nevermind that Aizen said he didn't know Rukia had the Hogo until she had went to the living world, or that Urahara had it the whole time, or even that Ichigo was interesting because he had no idea who he was when he came to Soul Society. Aizen had planned for Urahara to plan everything.

This is by far the biggest fucking retcon I've ever read in an entire series I've read. Kubo = shitty connection maker. He needs to write for Heroes.

Spoiler: show

Ichigo: Up to now... all my fights were... in the palm of your hand....?! What the hell.... How the hell... How could you say something like that?!!!

Aizen (While holding up an index finger): Now, don't raise your voice like that, Kurosaki Ichigo. Aren't you surprised over something like that? I was merely saying that you are the best material for my goals. Yes, I had enough confidence in your growth that I even had a hand in it. That's all that I'm saying.

Didn't you find it strange?　That all your life you had never encountered a hollow and yet as soon as you met Kuchiki Rukia, you were immediately attacked by a hollow, that the scattered hollow bait by a quincy would cause a Menos to materialize?

That around the time you had begun to fight as a shinigami, until then Kuchiki Rukia's reiatsu was undetected, and that as soon as this was conveniently reported to Soul Society, Abarai Renji, Zaraki Kenpachi, Kuchiki Byakuya, each of them, you managed to fight them at a point where you had the sufficiently ability, did you not think that was strange? Did you think these meetings were fate?

Ichigo: .... Wait..

Aizen: You thought their attacks were merely coincidence?

Ichigo: Wait....

Aizen: You thought that your victories were merely the result of your hard work?

Ichigo charges at him, but is stopped by Aizen's hand.

Aizen: ... Now, don't be saddened, that isn't all there is to it, your current power that is. You can't believe it, can you? What I just said.

Ichigo: ... Of course I can't...!

Aizen: But it's true.

Ichigo: You lie!! That all my fights until now were all your fault?! That they were all sent by you?! Who the hell would believe that!! Didn't you just say so earlier! You already said so that Rukia's whereabouts in the living world were obscured!! That you knew about me after I met Rukia?! Is that how it all went!!

Aizen: That's an amusing thing you say. You said it just now yourself. It's a lie. That you won't believe it. That the words I said just now were all lies, did you think at that point what I said were all lies too?

It's not impossible. How pitiful. That from the beginning this world there was neither truth nor lies. All that there is are the connections.

All that exists in that world were, personally, just convenient truths in your mistaken reality, and with that, all other lives have no meaning.

However, that world generally accounts for me, personally, all other inconvenient truths are merely part of that reality. Do I know the truth about you? Then who stationed Kuchiki Rukia for duty in the living world?

Then who gave Abarai Renji the equipment to detect her reiatsu? Who gave the vice-captains the detailed reports and information about your group's progress?

Didn't you think that I had, from the Hougyoku's completion, more than a hundred years to confirm its location?

Ichigo: .... I have one thing to ask you..... that thing you said earlier.... that you had confidence in me being the best material for your goals.... What was that... What basis do you have for saying that....? That from the point where I met Rukia, what the hell was that... Say that again, What the hell was your reason?!

Aizen: ... that from the beginning....

Ichigo: Say it properly...

Aizen:.... You don't understand? I've been saying it from the beginning. I've known you ever since you were born.

Ichigo: .... w-what...?!

Aizen: That from the moment you were born, I knew your existence was special. Why you are a shinigami and--

Isshin: You talk too much, Aizen.

Isshin arrives, then, next issue.

Yea, so basically, next chapter will make or break this manga. If Isshin turns out to be a good guy and fights off Aizen, it will go towards the positive. If this entire time, Isshin turns out to be a just-as-planned and is a bad guy, expect this entire story to collapse on itself out of stupidity.

[Klaatu]

Why do people still read this shit?

[samalis]

Spoiler: show

I will laugh so hard if Isshin ends up being the main bad guy and Aizen is working under him. Olawd the trolling. I'm assuming he's just there to help Ichigo though. lol

[CrimsonAngel]

Why do people still read this shit?

Same reason you took the time to read the spoiler

[Lucavi]

Isshin better be a villian. It wouldn't save this stupid plot, but it'd make for a better fight than Isshin vs. Aizen.

Everyone that Aizen has fought has been bitch in stupid ways. Isshin would be no different, but if he is a villian, then there is a chance that he could pull a Gin and usurp Aizen.

Ichigo has a far better chance of beating his father, who beat an invincible villian, than he does of outright having to beat an invincible villian.

Goddammit, if it weren't for the tits, I'd have never started reading this tripe.
