I must say, this arc is interesting to me. Here's why: 1: Bankai. Quincies are stealing Bankai and using. Obvious reason: Bankai are good tools. But considering Quilge's reaction to Ichigo claiming Quincy are scared of them leads me think otherwise.

2: Good guys are actually losing. For once, Kubo is letting good guys die. Some argue that the Vandenreich is overpowered. I couldn't disagree more. The Vandenreich quite literally had a 1000 (or at least Juhabach) preparation. Soul Society had like a day. For completely unknown opponents. So yeah, people are gonna lose.

3: Juhabach. This guy. He beat Yama. So what? Quite frankly, Yama isn't unbeatable, just strong. And Juhabach took advantage of the fact that Yama wasted his Bankai power on Royd. So Yama wasn't "one shotted". He was defeated. People complain ALREADY that Ichigo is gonna become stronger than Juhabach. So, Ichigo shouldn't win? Is it wrong that Ichigo might become stronger than Yama? Heck he topped Aizen in 3 months. I think Yama is given TOO much credit.

4: Royal Guard. A subtle hint into their possible nature is given and everyone hates this chapter. I think it's great. These Royal Guard friends might be blood thirsty, filthy powerful. Good, I say! Bring em on! Show us what you got!

5: Final Reason: The man himself. Ichigo. Why is Ichigo the man? True blood? Kubo said that he'd reveal that, so until he doesn't, Imma take his word for it. Ichigo is gonna get a power boost. That's how Bleach, guys. How or why, is yet to be known.
