User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 685 - THE PERFECT END/@comment-1429792-20160805180617

While I have huge problems with how we got here, I really enjoyed the chapter and am glad it is ending this way (black ooze and reiatsu readings aside). Nice to see how things have changed since Yhwach (or not in some cases). Looking forward to seeing part 2, presumably Ichigo, Uryu etc. And whatever the reiatsu thing is. And the much vaunted announcement.

I have to say, the choice of new captains surprised me. Why promote Iba when Love (former captain of Iba's division) was there? Seemed a very odd choice to me. Even in ending the series Kubo is giving more characters Bankai, the once ultimate and rare Shinigami power, instead of making use of the ones he already has. Which is disappointing and needless. But overall, good chapter good ending, just clearly much earlier than Kubo expected to be doing it.
