Analysis Mode ENGAGE!

Okay, this chapter felt a little short for me but O GOD THEM FEELS THO.

Renji decides to attack Yhwach, despite Ichigo telling him it's pointless. In return, Renji's Zabimaru turns into spaghetti, because The Almighty.

Meanwhile, back in the Quincy grudge match, Jugo lies beaten and powerless. He feels kinda happy to have his powers sapped, because it means he truly was better than Uryū, whose power remains, and that he could still be an asset to Yhwach. How this meshes with Uryū's Auswählen immunity is beyond me. Jugo then offers to let Uryū displace his wounds onto himself, saying that even though he might not have subscribed to Ishida's view of loyalty and friendship, it has merit; plus, Jugo is dying anyway so Uryū should at least get a full heal. It then cuts to Jugo's sword, where we see the emblem that Bazz-B gave him all those years ago embedded in the hilt. My soul is again crushed by this character arc.

Back at the ranch, an injured Orihime is trying to repair Tensa Zangetsu to no avail; since Yhwach broke it in the future, and Orihime can only reject the present with her power, it is beyond her ability to heal. Renji decides to charge headfirst after Yhwach. Rukia advises strategizing first, but Renji counters with the admittedly sound logic that one cannot strategize against a man who can see the entirety of the future. Ichigo, still in a funk, says that there is no point, before getting stabbed by Book of the End. Tsukishima and Ginjō appear, saying that they are there to help Ichigo and repay their debt. Tsukishima uses his Fullbring to alter Ichigo's past and create a past where Yhwach did not break Tensa Zangetsu in the future, thus repairing it in the present. Because quantum physics, or something. Ichigo declares the debt repayed and gets ready for round 3.

This chapter had a lot happening in it but still seemed short. It was feels heavy and plot heavy, and it may be the lack of action that made it seem to go by fast. I really liked the events within, but I'm worried that the Fullbringers are now done for the series. I want to see more of Ginjō at least.

Disclaimer: my seeming apathy towards this chapter may be due to the fact that Nisekoi Chapter 225 came out a day early and featured an actual plot development.

That's a wrap!
