Bleach 502

Rest in peace, Byakuya. You did not deserve to die in such a pathetic fashion. Also, Renji had better not be dead, and Zaraki had better not die fighting the Quincies either. If either of them die, Bleach finally dies with them.

Shit's about to get real. I don't even know what to think anymore. :( Just like you said, it's all about those two from now on, despite whatever else is gonna happen at this point...

I think people have stopped caring about Ichigo for a while now since it's just so f*cking depressing to watch the Gotei 13 get stomped on like this. And Byakuya was one of my favorites, to see him get killed in such a pathetic way without even putting a significant dent in As Nodt is just sickening. I'm starting to question if Kubo is cutting his wrists or something while drawing and writing the story.

I think alot of people disliked that Byakuya passed on. While the Gotei 13 are having the biggest downfall in their lives, Ichigo was captured way too easily. Just goes to show not to turn your back on your enemies unless their dead. I'm glad Kenpachi came through for us.

Of course people disliked that Byakuya died, he was one of the greatest characters in the manga. And I agree that Ichigo was captured too easily, it just boggles my mind that Kubo is doing this to the readers and to his own characters. I hope Kenpachi can kill the rest of the Stern Ritter or at least drive them off, but the way Kubo is going I don't see that happening...

Something tells me that since its the final arc, he's just planning to bring all the shinigami down and have the Quincy take over Gotei 13, then at the last minute, Ichigo finally decides to show up once theirs already been countless casualties.

If that's how he's going to end the series then he's doing a terrible thing. You would expect that he would want to end the series well, but atm it's just terrible and depressing. I honestly have no idea what's going through Kubo's mind right now.

I felt they were already pushing the series a bit when they did the Xcution arc. I thought that would finish up the series by letting Ichigo get his powers back and have some sort of closure. Now i don't know what to expect, just going to keep reading until the very last chapter.

I feel a bit sad that Byakuya.

I hope Ichigo can get to Soul Society quick enough.
