C'mon Jugram, just use your power on that fool already!

Seems like Orihime can be useful while still shouting "Kurosaki-kun!" Although her shield shtick is getting old.

Now as for the Hollowfication...I'm extremely mixed. For Kubo to put it in the backburner after Hueco Mundo makes its sudden return feel kinda contrived and shit. I suppose its correlation is to Masaki, and how Ichigo inherited both his Hollow and Quincy powers from her, serves as a landmark for Ichigo mastering his Quincy side.

But at the same time, you need to foreshadow this shit better! Other than the cover page, this came directly out of nowhere as none of us thought Ichigo would rely on these powers because he swore to put those parts of him away! If Kubo wanted Ichigo to grow as a Quincy/Hollow, or wanted him to solely focus his strength as a Shinigami, either one is fine, but stick with it and don't end up with some half baked combination like we have now! At this rate I would not be surprised if Ichigo threw one of his swastikas at Yhwach.

Honestly, I'm growing tired of Bleach. Nothing's been able to keep my interest in these recent chapters except for the buildup to Jugram's power reveal. I probably should take a break, but I need something to occupy me before One Piece comes out.
