I am not entirely sure why I can't have a high standard of expectation from a manga. Or rather, why I can't expect Bleach to not be Dragonball, which after awhile became just a sequence of power-ups. Sure, Bleach is about the zanpakutos and their cool abilities etc. But of all the manga I have read, Bleach is also the one that spends a lot of time simply developing characters and the world of Bleach as a whole. As a result, I do expect Ichigo to be a hero for qualities other then just his raw power or rather, his potential for power.
