Bleach 582 - The Headless Star

New Bleach chapter!  Let's talk!

Spoilers after the cut.




The main man is back in town.  That's right, Ichigo is in Seireitei and he's apparently ready to kick some Stern Ritter ass.

Of course, it's not going to be that simple.  It never is.

Already, there's a delaying tactic in place.  Really, he should have finished off those ladies within three pages.  They're still alive.  And it appears that Bach is about to get involved again.  Not really, though, it'll just be his main subordinates, Haschwald and Ishida that do the heavy lifting.

There's also the matter of the other Stern Ritter we see at the end.

I'm not sure what his name is, but I'm certain he'll be annoying the readers for a few chapters.

One thing that's cleared up is the matter of how many swords Ichigo has when he's not released.  After his top layer of clothing is removed by the "Galvano Blast" from the pissed-off lady, the second sword is visible on his right hip.

It should be interesting to see how the dynamics of his shikai/bankai work now that he has two swords.

Hell, he's already taking on four Stern Ritter when most of the captains had trouble with one, or two at most.  So it's obvious that his time in the Royal Realm was well-spent.  But as to the details of his new power(s), well, that's obviously something that we'll have to wait for.

In any case, it's good to see the manga moving forward, even if the pace is still snail-like.
