User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 686 - Death & Strawberry (End of Bleach reMIX)/@comment-3430033-20160819132244

First off, the announcement is utter ****. Idgaf about a live action movie. An anime adaption that actually filled in plotholes and extended fights wouldve been much better.

The colour page was average. I have always like Kubo's colour pages but this one was just meh. I'm really upset that Jump hasn't been giving Bleach many colour pages during this arc.

Now onto the chapter... The whole Yhwach reiatsu was absolutely pointless (I knew it was gonna be bs) and I have no idea what Kazui did when he stuck his hand in the little hole. I have no problems with the pairings as Xil said; it's the only logical outcome. There was no way Ichigo would've become a captain; Ichigo is a human who has a human life to live, so really don't see why anybody would expect that to happen. That's just a stupid fan theory IMO.

I didn't really like Ichigo's new hair cut but all the others seem fine, Aizen's last monolouge was cool and at least we find out what Yhwach's goal is. I have to say, the Aizen ending was much better than this one but this ending was more suitable I guess. Don't really see how people think Kazui's powers is a fullbring, but that's fan theories for you.

Another issue with this chapter is that Isshin, Ryuken Urahara, Yoruichi Nel, Grimmjow (and whoever I have forgotten to include) didn't even make an appearance after the time skip. That is just terrible.

All in all, I was really dissapointed with it. The ending of Bleach was absolutely terrible. I think that if all the plot holes had been filled in and all the characters had their individual chance to shine in a fight of their own, I would've been somewhat happy with this ending. But no. Too many things have been left out and one in particular is the death of the soul king. What fixed it? Of course there are many more things that needs explaining and there is absolutely no way I can just ignore all of that.

Bleach is my favourite manga series of all time. It has amazing artwork, reasoning, ideas, foreshadowing etc. and it's such a shame that it had to end this way. This arc had a great start and it had so, so much potential of being the greatsest arc ever. But Kubo effed it up. It was partly Kubo's fault but still, a massive **** you Shonen Jump for rushing Bleach and making it even worse that this arc already is. I will never be satisfied.

Oh, and I can't help but notice that an image that appeared in the spoilers for this chapter didn't appear in this chapter... and it is this one here: https://dailyanimeart.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/ichika-abarai.jpg?w=700&h=&crop=1
