User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 613 - The Ordinary Peace/@comment-24546844-20150129163525

The chapter was too damn short. It may have something to do with Tite's health but I think that with some cut he could have done everything in 612/13 in a single chapter. But nevermind.

The only thing I found interesting was that Yachiru is still missing. Wonder if that has something to do with Zaraki's power-up. It was really nice with Starrk but I hope Kubo don't pull the same "two as one" again.

Also I thought of something about Ichibei's words. Basically, "war" means that two or more factions are fighting (directly or not) over something for their own purposes. Normally, a "fight" means that there is a possibility for either of the sides to win. It's comonly agreed that the oposite of "war" and "fight" is "peace" then here we go. Currently there's a direct "war" going on between the Sternritters and Shinigami (with the support of the humans, visoreds and some arrancar), they are fighting. When we assume that what Ichibei says is truth and Yhwach can't be defeated the we are eliminating the basic premisse behind a fight that is either of the sides have chances of winnig because only one side has the chance to win. Without a chance to win there's no true reason for conflict, and without conflict there's no "war", and without war the only thing left is peace. It's a flawed yet undestandable logic I guess.

"Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy", Yhwach is a damn big stick don't you think?
