Bleach 630 - The Twinned Twilight

A new chapter of Bleach is out, so let's talk about it.

Spoilers and somewhat random encounters after the cut.



Continuing from last chapter, Grimmjow goes after Nakk Le Varr.  It's utterly pointless, because Nakk Le Varr is a coward and runs away.

Once the scene switches to inside the Wahrwald, things get interesting.  Haschwald is talking to a subordinate and notes that Ishida is part of the 5-prong attack (much like the Quincy star, hello consistency!) against the intruding forces of the Gotei 13 & Ichigo's team.

I think Haschwald is rightfully concerned about Ishida's motivation.  But if Ishida tries to do some dumb shit that goes against the Vandenreich, I can't say that I'll be too enthused about it.

I've been harping on this for a while, but I want to see Ichigo take out Haschwald, THEN Ishida, and then Bach (assuming that's even possible at this point).

The above probably won't happen.  Bazz-B makes an appearance inside Wahrwald (interesting how he made it in so quickly, and how he's the only one of the Stern Ritter that were down in Seireitei who's there now) and immediately gets pugilistic.

This is a great development.  It'd be even better if it doesn't get dragged out for five or seven chapters.  But even if it does get dragged out, seeing Haschwald finally show what he's made of will be a LOT more interesting than the zombie girl or most of the other Stern Ritter.

So that's chapter 630 in a nutshell.  I'm looking forward to the continuation of the fight and hopefully an explanation of the last panel.  I don't know that we really need to see the history of Bazz-B, per se.  But if it involves Haschwald in a meaningful way, it should be somewhat interesting.
