The newest chapter of Bleach is out. So let's talk about it!
Spoilers after the cut.
Finally, it looks like we're getting somewhere!
Of course, it wouldn't be Bleach if the path was short and sweet. No, it looks like this will extend out a couple more chapters. In any event, 600 seems like a likely destination for the manga and the final arc in particular.
But at least we know where Ichigo has been and what he was doing. More training, this time off-screen. Now he looks like a completely different person, an "authentic" shinigami. If the Royal Guard are so impressed with him, I guess this means he's going to kick the ass of every Stern Ritter he comes across until he beats down Haschwald and Bach, right?
Well, maybe not. That'd be a bit too easy.
At any rate, it looks like the ladies of the Stern Ritter are getting involved and trying to take out Shinji and Komamura. That's another fight I'm not terribly interested in, though seeing Shinji's powers up close might be interesting. Last week's chapter provided a bit of a glimpse into it. His zanpakutou seems pretty tricky, which is consistent with his personality if nothing else.
But the real story here is that Ichigo is back (sort of) and at least headed for Seireitei. It might take him a little while to get there, but once he arrives, the manga should get good again.
