The villain has reached the forbidden land -- and with the good guys' help, that is. Eat your heart out, Aizen. The moment Rukia mentioned that Royal Realm is saturated with reishi, I knew this was going to happen. Yhwach (as well as the ones who followed him) is going to be at his most powerful there, and with Zanka no Tachi still inside his medallion, Squad 0 are in trouble.

That aside... When I saw Renji and Bazz-B clashing, I was surprised. Wasn't Renji's opponent supposed to be NaNaNa? Didn't Kubo dedicate several pages to show the guy as a creepy stalker who stared at Renji the whole night, which also gave him some sort of an advantage? The shockwave from Yhwach's departure conveniently separated everyone; why is Renji fighting someone else?

And it's not just that. Dig a little deeper, and you can find many more instances when Kubo teases us with something only to abandon it. Most recent, the note from the previous chapter. Yhwach's goal wasn't explained, as the note indicated it would be. Uryu's power wasn't shown to Sternritters, as Yhwach promised them. Arrancars are still far away from the battlefield, despite the fact that only one of them could open a Garganta for Orihime and Chad -- and that Harribel is still held captive in the Ice Palace. Kyoraku and Haschwalth had been in the same room for hours and never fought. And the earliest one I can think of is Yhwach mentioning twice that he wants to capture Ichigo... What happened to that?

What is going on with this story?
