So Ichigo's finally got Zangetsu...or was that Engetsu? Why didn't this happen right at the beginning? Why have Ichigo get some silly power-up only for him to lose it? Sheesh.

Well, at least its back where it should've been from the start. Hopefully, there won't be another Bankai training arc...

 

He used to had Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu as bankai, but it looked different maybe now that he got some other? Engetsu was Ichigo himself.

 

Rukia looks better with longer hair.

But who cares? Rukia is back. She and Ichigo were the bread and butter of early Bleach, so I'm excited that she weaseled her way back into the manga, which was been a little lacklustre lately.

Hopefully Kubo still remembers how to utilise the dynamic between Ichigo and Rukia.

Also, what rank is she now? That badge looks familiar. Lieutenant? About fucking time she got a promotion. It looks like Byakuya let her grow a little.

 

Vice-Capitan, yes badge looks familiar because Renji and other vices have the same.

 

I haven't been this happy with a Bleach chapter in months. Even if Rukia is looking a bit manly. I hope they do something about her hair, and Ichigo needs to kick some serious ass. This update makes me want to read Retsu's Folly and Bleached again.

 

I'll echo what others have said; having Rukia back is great, even if she looked a bit off-model in this chapter, and finally being done with the re-powering is nice.

 

I really loved it. Hopefully, Ichigo will rape those sideshow rejects and we can get on with the REAL villain of the arc. It seems Ichigo needed to be completely rid of all the power inside him for the shinigami transfer thingy to work, meaning the others must have known of the plan of the guy who looks like Aizen's cousin.

And Rukia didn't really look manly, per se, just different. Love that she is a Vice-Captain now.

Rapestomp ahead.

 

You shut your whore mouths. Rukia looks Boss. Now I want to see Ichigo rip out his mask and curbstomp the bitches who were so magnanimously going to spare his life.

 

I noticed that along with a now physical look, Rukia also appears to have long gloves. Clothing changes = signifiacant in Bleach, hopefully she won't have changed too much.

And the new sword is obviously Engetsu, why else would his dad and Urahara be standing around, and the sword be all elemental and glowy. And man, Engetsu looks way more boss than Zangetsu. More aggressive, more destructive. I'm predicting a brutal beat down, followed by even more asskicking (oh god please).

 

He needs to look at Ginjo and Aizen's cousin, then turn his back on them and tell the rest of them that 'they're next'. While they're wondering what the hell is going on, Ginjo and Tsukishima's heads will just fall off and they'll collapse, ala 300.

 

This is the one chapter in AGES that makes me feel proud to read Bleach. Rukia looks great, and the look on Ginjo's face?

Priceless.

 

Exactly. It's that "oh fuck" face. If they have any idea of how powerful he is as a Shinigami, they're shitting their pants right now.

I'm just waiting for Ginjou to attempt a Getsuga Tensho on Ichigo from his fullbring and for Ichigo to go:

"That was all wrong. Here. Let me show you how it's done."

 

Don't try to delude yourself, Rukia was fucking manly and decidedly ugly. Ichigo looks good, though. I like this new sword. Than lord that the shit filler is over. I'm actually really looking forward to the next chapter in a long while.

Perhaps the whole conspiracy with Ichigo's father and the Shinigami was simply getting Shinigami powers back for Ichigo? =p

 

And bleach has made me happy again, I was so close to putting it down and walking away from it and then this happened. I smell a brutal smackdown coming folks, lets not forget this was one seriously pissed off Ichigo, one who was willing to carve them into pieces moments ago. Now he finds out he was just being jerked around for their sake, heads are going to roll.

 

I had forgotten about Rukia by now =\

 

New Chapter

Ichigo finally got his balls back. Too bad it took that dick-girl Rukia for him to get it back. Not liking this new Rukia at all. Those last two pages Ichigo is :awesome

 

Isn't it a little reckless of Ichigo to start throwing around city-block destroying attacks in the real world?

And fuck the Rukia bashers, awesome tsundere is awesome.

 

I liked it, now some worms like Ginjo(or however he is called) can try ;D. I liked new Renji's look the most ;D Of course Ichigo-Rukia interactions was hilarious.

 

After a very long time I'm finally excited about Bleach. Can't wait to see other familiar faces and what changed in the Soul Society while Ichigo was absent.

 

Derpy stand-in translator's translation was derpy.

I understand why my dad gets so pissed when he edits some newbie journalist's articles now. God, this editing shit is infuriating.

/completely ignores that the only reason the stand-in was called in was that he only remembered about Bleach 6 hours after the staff sent the raw out.
