Bleach 578 - The Undead 5

There's a new Bleach chapter out, yada yada, yada yada.

Spoilers after the cut.




It looks like Kenpachi vs. Grenny is done.  Finally.

It's about time, really.  This fight was ridiculous from the beginning and only managed to get more ridiculous as it dragged on.  The problem with this strategy that Kubo has taken is that the individual fights drag on for so long that any consistency he might have had at the beginning of the arc is gone.

Also, the chapter wherein we found out Bach's motivations is so far behind us that any potency it had is now diminished.

Even in a weekly manga, these recent chapters have done nothing to move the story forward.  I guess that's to be expected since any individual chapter of the manga doesn't really do much.  It's only in chapters like this one where it appears there is some resolution that the story finally takes a step in a positive direction.

So the fight is over and Kubo can move on to another battle.

Or maybe he'll buck the trend and do something mildly original.
