User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 685 - THE PERFECT END/@comment-3430033-20160804214747

Here we go again another.. yet another bullsh*t chapter.. Just kidding. This chapter wasn't bad. Can't really say much about it other than it being similar to the first half of Bleach my soul mixed with Goodbye to our Xcution. A ten year timeskip though, wow.. Although I did like the character interactions. So Hisagi did have a Bankai after all. Out of all the new captains, I feel that Isane wasn't really suited. Lisa..meh.

Again, it feels extremely rushed seeing as we didn't even get some sort of aftermath for the Yhwach battle but instead, we skip ten years ahead. What happened to Aizen? What happened to Komamura? What happened to the Zero Squad? What's happened to Kira? etc. And come on Kubo you could've done better than just giving us a "Yachiru isn't here anymore"..

It's a real shame that Ukitake is dead. Kubo didn't keep his promise about Ukitake recovering. So the bit of black reiatsu coming out of the ground on page 5 was the thing that Akon was on about at the end. Seeing that this is the second to last chapter, I doubt it's going to be something significant like a threat or enemy. Porbably just Kubo trolling us to keep us in suspense till the next chapter like he did with Ichigo collapsing after the Aizen fight.

It would be cool if it was actually Yhwach coming to slaughter them in a moment in time, in the future, "where each of them feel the greatest amount of joy and happiness", like he said he would back in chapter 680. But again, unless a continuation is happening (which I highly doubt) that won't be the case.

I wonder what the big announcement will be? A continuation/sequel/spin-off would be absolutely amazing but I don't see it happening. Why rush and end it if it's going to be carried on with anyway? An anime would be alright. I'm not a fan of anime adaptions as they are dragged out to fit the manga panels most of the time which is painful to watch. If it is an anime which has anime only content to fill in plot holes, it would be both good and bad. It would suck especially with Bleach, cos I dont want to miss out on Kubo's artwork.

I would prefer a manga continuation over an anime or over anything, rather. A game for the main consoles would be good. Bleach has been missing out on games for the new gen consoles. But only of it has 100+ characters (like storm 4) including the quincies. Other than that, I don't really see what else it could be. A movie? A databook? Some novels? Maybe something entirely different?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading the last chapter. God, do I hate breaks. It's going to be a sad day when the chapter comes.
