User blog comment:Kaido King of the Beasts/How Do You Kill Quincy Jesus? Part 2/@comment-3430033-20160418113822

Good blog with well developed and logical points that I agree with. The thing, with the Schutzstaffel, is Kubo has made their powers so broken that it doesn't seem to make any sense when Nimaiya "killed" them as well as raising a lot of questions..

Firstly, Pernida: How did Nimaiya kill Pernida when it keeps on regenerating and regenerating..? Nemu literally burst right through it but it still managed to regenerate.. compared to when Nimaiya "killed" it and all he had to do was stab it's "head" and it died.. How come each of the little pieces didn't turn into an individual arm but, instead, fused back together? So Kubo could kill it off easier? The way Nemu/Mayuri killed it was logical though. Each of it's cells exploded by over-regeneration so no cells = no more regeneration.

Secondly, Lille: His death at the hands of Nimaiya can be explained as he said that he opens his eyes when he is in danger and Nimaiya seemingly killed him before he could open his eye. But that still doesn't explain how Kyoraku's Bankai Final Dan can cut his throat when he is "intangible". A thread made of Reishi can cut his throat but kido made of Reishi can't.. OK. But as for the first two Dans, I'm still not sure because they don't actually need physical contact in order to injure an opponent so I'll let that one slide. Nanao's sword, imo, was definitely an asspull so Kubo could give minor characters a chance to shine in the final arc. It was also never explained how Lille can render Kyoraku immobile when he activated his Vollständig. I like how Lille's halo was the source of his powers though, if only Kyoraku knew, all he had to do was destroy Lille's halo and that's the end that.

Thirdly, Askin: Askin is a weird one, he's extremely hard to kill and he just "dies" when kubo wants him to, really. Nimaiya slashed him, Askin survived so Nimaiya slashed him again BUT Askin survives yet again. Then, obviously, he dies when Nimaiya slashes him with a "lethal" blow.. Not to mention that he survives getting his heart ripped out but dies when Grimmjow stabs him again. OK. Also, remember when we all thought that Askin's Schrift power had something to do with him being immortal but, instead, it turned out that Kubo was just trolling and misleading us? lol. I'm still salty that Askin's fight was 3 chapters shorter than Pernida's and Lille's.

Finally, Gerard: I think the only way to kill, or rather defeat Gerard is to freeze him over so that way he's not injured so he can't use the Miracle to regenerate nor can he attack anyone. But again, how come Nimaiya managed to kill him and he stayed dead but when Byakuya killed him, Gerard turned into a giant? And don't tell me that Maybe Byakuya didn't actually kill him but, instead, injured him etc... we all know that's bs and that Gerard was flat out dead in a pool of his own blood with a gaping hole in his helmet too, not to mention Byakuya attacked him TWICE. The only explanation I can come up with is that Gerard didn't activate the Miracle before he was killed by Nimaiya. Unlike when he fought Renji, he ahd already activated it aqnd was about to use it until Byakuya came in with the finishing blow. And seein as it has been activated, hge cant be killed. But unfortunately, he can't be killed in now anyway, seeing as he even survived being cut in two. I also reckon that if there was nothing left of him, he won't be able to regenerate i.e. get Yama to turn him into ashes. Also, where tf is Shinji, Renji, Rukia, Love, Hachi and Hiyori?? They are all captain level and only Byakuya managed to get back up from it? all Gerard did to the vizards was knock them into some buildings.. wow. I couldn't care less about momo but seeing as Kubo is trying to make minor characters relevant now with what he did with Nemu and Nanao, inb4 Momo is the one to get a huge power boost and kills Gerard. LOL

Still so many things left to explain and so maqny characters that needs to be showcased such as Isshin and Ryuken.. where tf are they? I think Kubo has really fucked himself over by offscreening so many Stern Ritters without a proper fight. This arc had a promising start and had great potential and I always thought that Kubo would have something up his sleeve to save this manga, as I am a huge fan, but its just hard to stay optimistic with the way this manga has been going for so long... My hopes for this manga are getting real low now.
