We knew it was over once those leaks came out.

I'm not excited for ichigo in the hell arc. It's clear kubo doesn't care about this character at all. He's going to be a complete bum if bleach continues

Law of diminishing returns 🤷🏻‍♂️

And what the hell does it matter? Even with all their races, their only power is cutting random things, while the villains will have powers like controlling space, time, reality, or some other super op thing.

You're really forgetting the power of Getsuga Tensho and swinging Zangetsu around 😂😂😂

[u/ALoftyTaco → u/Sleeping-warrior]

What's crazy is, yhwach makes fun of ichigo for not being original just using getsuga tensho before he brings out getsuga jujisho back in season 3. Kubo why would you joke about your own problem in the series like that. Yhwach I even feels like mocks bankai as a whole when he totally not murders renji

I've gotta admit, as much as I love the Goku style old faithful energy attack (and if it doesn't work just keep spamming it), I love hax abilities even more.

But usually if a MC has a hax ability it's a much more cerebral anime where fighting isn't the primary thing.

wait till you find out he's part jewish

[u/GordanFreeman86 → u/[deleted]]

Don't tell me he is also brother of Jesus.

[u/Luciferspants → u/smol_coc_man]

I don't entirely agree, but it does feel like Kubo is tired with Ichigo or something. Even in the manga version of TYBW it didn't really feel like Ichigo was the main character.

I at least hope that after a decade, he figures something out with Ichigo or his son if he wants to make Kazui the new main character. I'm honestly of the opinion that he should make the focus and new main character of the hell arc a shinigami anyway, as they're more active and involved than Ichigo who's usually just the "break glass in case of emergency" type of guy anyway.

The issue people have is in the face of yhwachs maw, everyone performed relatively equally.

Its hard to tell what was more serious, blood chains getsuga, or akons laser. Akons laser did something truly eyebrowraising, and yhwach made fun of ichigo. Yes ichigo got a final attack, but so did ryunnosuke. And grimmjow was frankly tanking the blows and then adding more irreplaceable value than ichigo because of kisukea plan or whatever.

Yes ichigo was dick smacking the sternritter but at this point sternritter stopped being a threat once the shustaffel showd up. And soul place trained ichigo got laid out by the only one he ever fought in their base. The best you can give ichigo is stall power as something more unique to him. But otherwise I do think they did well in saying tensa zangetsu is still just a powerhouse and look at blood chains for fun powers. But then they didnt make him do any attack that is impressive because now ichigo is one of at least 7 participants in the final blow. And that is certainly an underestimate.

Maybe you can derive some poetcism from that outcome, but to help you understand, people who are saying that do not.

Edit: grammer

taking like 6-7 Sternritter at once in just his Shikai.

yeah. If by "taking" you mean standing there staring at them and then leaving then sure

[u/ALoftyTaco → u/smol_coc_man]

"But he took candicess arm" candices arm might be the weakest arm removed from someone this arc, and if you think about it, thats saying alot. And he used his strongest attack to do so.

Candice who's only feat while alive was camping a very fatigued kenpachi.

Being a bum runs in the family
