Wth this chapter sucked. Soifon's bankai is... a bazooka? That totally has no relation with her shikai and the firepower seems weak too. Hollowichigo's cero or Ulquiorra's spear thing probably created a bigger explosion.

No it's a surfboard. xD

Edit: Flashing back to Ukitake's fight was pointless. Typical "pride" reason for not using Bankai sooner, etc...another mediocre chapter in my opinion.

The first 10 or so pages of this chapter were a waste of paper. Why did Soifon have to make her arrival so late in the chapter when we already knew her bankai was released last chapter? Why waste time with pointless battling with her underling? Why is Tito trying to buy/waste more time? I don't freaking understand.

Of course, since this has been happening for the past 30 or so chapters, I'm not even mad or frustrated. I just want to know what the hell is he thinking.

Not a bad chapter but too bad Marechiyo and Barragan's fight wasn't taken a bit more seriouly.

Worst bankai ever.

Thanks Kubo for wasting 1 minute of my life, because that's all it took to read the whole chapter, maybe even less.

And can Ukitake get even more pedo-ish?

Who would have thought that Soifon's bankai would just so happen to be the perfect counter for Barragan's 'decaying' aura...

This. =/

I hope Fat Guy gets sliced into pieces. But I like Soi Fon's silhouette (one of the few big-boobed girls in this manga...) so she can stay. <3

It's really too bad Soi Fon's bankai is something like bazooka. Although it's not that bad, bit disappointed especially when it got me hype up for looking forward this week's chapter. Hope there's more in her bankai. Also, a bazooka to kill Barragan is actually quite hilarious if it's true.

The Ukitake part is funny but nothing more except that fraccion(forgot her name),only one left, sword been confisticated.

An ok chapter only.

My first thoughts also.... It looked kinda cool when she brought down the visor and aimed, but aside from that it looks like she's going tank-hunting with a surfboard....

Ukitake's bit was funny, and made up for the hit/miss nature of the Soi Fon bit.

I guess it's because she's too weak to carry the "bazooka" bankai? She did make preparations earlier.

I agree with the rest that the first few chapters are quite funny, but nothing much interesting overall.

Oh shuur...just like Hitsugaya killed Halibel already.

No seriously, we will go to Shunsui fight or HM and after that we will get a reveal that both nr2 and nr3 are unhurt.

And Seriously, was I only one who thought that this chapter was awesome? The design of Nr2 is just wicked and Soi Fon's bankai and how it works (blow-back and everything) was a really well-thought out thing.

Lol, a bazooka, who would have expected that... but i guess it must have some SERIOUS firepower, tying herself to the building so the backfire effects wouldn't throw her far away..
Still as she says herself her ban kai in no way reflects her shikai or her fighting strategy, which seems odd imho.

why would it be odd. its the same thing rinsed and repeated. baldy and yumichika.

kubo must have used all his brain power for the ichigo/ulq fight bc now he is just reusing ideas that have been used in this manga or others.

Ridiculous.

Hell, I love Bleach artwork, but to stand this is though. Crap, it's like an official filler ~God, manga filler!!~.

The story almost doesn't progress at all, and worse, its executed with the lamest cliches over and over again.

Seriously I just don't understand how he can keep this crap going.

Sorry for the rants~

I'm seriously the first person to give this chapter a one?

That was the worst chapter I've seen yet. There was all that build-up, just for her bankai to be a cannon.

And, I know a lot of people have already mentioned how almost every fight is won with some kind of last minute power up, rather than some clever use of tactic (Rukia against the 9th Espada is the only example I can think of), but at this point, I'm finally fed up with it.

Barragan: "Keep running, you meat sack".
Omaeda: "You're just jealous 'cause you're all bones!"

I laughed at that.
Was glad to see Ukitake.
That's a very massive Ban-Kai for such fragile woman. It looked like a more developed form of her shikai and I don't see what's wrong with that being able to shoot. Liked her explanation for not liking it. Decent chapter.

I came close to giving it a 1 too, after I posted I would give it a 1 since grew gradually pissed at the chapter. But I had already voted before posting.

You're totally right about the tactics. And that time w/ Rukia, I couldnt call that exactly tactics, it was a bit lame also, but it was at least fun.

Maybe not tatcics, really, but it was still a clever way to win. As far as I can think, she's been the first character to actually use her head to win a fight.

I kinda enjoyed this chapter but is it me or are some of the shinigami can't get the fact that they are fighting a battle that'll decide the fate of the "FREAKIN' WORLD".!!!

The good: I lol'd at Ukitake messing around that kid fraccion. baragan's release looks freaking badass as ever.

The bad: Kubo wasted a lot of pages focusing on Omeada being a dumbass as usual, and why the hell can't the "NO.2" espada catch up to him?! And seriously do we need another " I wont use my bankai because of my bullshit reason" bullshit, I mean Seriously!! Is Soi-Fon that dumb to not know that they are fighting for their very lives and the lives of all mankind?!

Now I have mixed feelings towards Soi-Fon's bankai because it looks really cliche and have been used in other materials a lot, but it still looks cool... Now I hope for some kind of well-thought out twist that'll really pick things up again because I agree with some previous posts that says there is no progress at all, If not It'll stay in this pace for the entire year. *sigh*

P.S. It seems we forgot about one character amidst all that snail-paced action, where the hell is the first division's vice-captain?

Can you even call this a chapter? It's not as if he's dead now we all know how these fights work out. Goddamn Kubo Come on now! Put some freaking effort into it.

edit: It would be much better if she had some kind of Sniper Rifle weapon. A 1 hit kill except its really hard to use in a direct battle like this, so that's why she needed fatty to keep him occupied. You know, something that would FIT a stealth squad captain. See it's not THAT hard to come up with something other then LOL BAZOOKA!
