Will-O-Wisp, you thought almost PRECISELY what I thought when I read this chapter. Seriously? Kishimoto and Oda can cover in one chapter what takes Kubo two months to get through. The PLOT of Bleach hasn't advanced in ages. Its just endless fighting with the same basic template over and over and over again.

1. New villain with scary power introduced. 2. Villain dominates fight. 3. Hero reveals/unlocks new ability that conveniently perfectly counter's said-villain's scary power. 4. Villain gets sloppy and powers up. 5. Hero kills villain with cheesy monologue. 6. Repeat.

I honestly wonder if Kubo is even trying anymore.
