Ichigo's senseless talk about being "fair" irked me a bit, but when Orihime reached out to the fading Ulquiorra, that scared me. Did she retain some kind of emotional attachment to him?
Probably. Ulquiorra treated her a lot better than the others did. Those two chicks and Grimmjow, were pretty mean to her.Quote:

Now I hope next chapter doesn't spend half of it with Inoue healing Ishida and the others fighting Yammy. I want Vaizards.
Yea, totally agree...that was odd, but I liked it. On another note, it looks like Nel might be the bustiest chick in bleach; she was packing howitzers!
last panel looks like Orihime blasting Ulqi away with magic. so much better.
Ichigo still doesn't realize where he's at. wanting to fight fairly and all that crap, didn't we go over this when he went up against #103?
this isn't something he can win half-assed.
front page: completely NSFW, also Matsumoto has a zipper on her underpants. so disturbing.
Agreed, it's like he doesn't realize that it isn't just his ass that's in the lineQuote:

That was a WTF chapter if I have ever read one. Although I did like the ending, I wish that Ichigo would have put him down, but awell, he doesnt kill anyone.
That attitude of Ichigo's is quite annoying. Take my arm and leg as well? That had to be as retarded as the Karakura raiser first episode LOL.
But I thought that interesting how Ichigo's hole in the chest got repaired with high speed regeneration even though he was no longer in hollow mode.
And then there were three lol. I can't wait till they get serious about Hallibel and Toshiro. It's going to be crazy. I think that he'll get owned quite a bit. They seem to have a similar shikai and bankai type with the energy elemental thing going on.
Another thing seems to be how powerful Kyoraku is. If he's fighting stark, then they both have to be damn strong. And, it technically means (besides the old man general, and Aizen going toe to toe) that he's the strongest guy in the series right now. Both as a captain and shinigami.
I'm kinda confused, didn't the hollow side told him that if he messes up he'll take control? A horn got cut off and poof went the whole transformation?
The most weirdest part of this chapter was where he said cut off my arm and leg. My reaction was laughter followed immediately by "WHAT?".
I am guessing that the Cero blew off part of the mask, which brought Ichigo's conciousness back to the surface.Quote:

Everything about this chapter was absurd. Killing hollow Ichigo by cutting off a horn. high speed regeneration. Ishida sitting there like everything is normal while he has a sword through his body. "cut off my arm and leg." and Ulquiorra's request for Ichigo to kill him even though he will be dead in 2 seconds anyway.
Guys, guys!
You are all looking at the chapter in a very shallow perspective!
It is demonstrated that with this chapter, Kubo is practicing his ultimate writing skills by laying down the subtle hints about yet another character change in Ichigo.
From the beginning of the series, Ichigo was a Hollow-killing merciless psychopath. Now that he's begin to stay in this world of Hueco Mundo, he's beginning to realize that Hollows are not just "monsters" as he had suggested before. Rather, because of what we assume to be Hollow-Ichigo controlling him, he is subjected to a nebulous ideology that seperates him from four different lives - his normal life, Soul Society, the Vizards and Arrancars.
Truly, from meeting the kindhearted Nel, Pesche and Dondochakka, Ichigo has developed a loving relationship with all four worlds and becomes lost in a world of self-identity (remember the Shikai, Bankai and Vizard training?). Now, having a significant battle in morals and ideals in a fight with Ulquiorra, in which Ichigo acknowledges Ulquiorra as an equal. This is beautifully resonated as how Ichigo wanted Ulquiorra to "cut off [his] arm and leg too!" and:
As Ichigo becomes gradually attached to Arrancars and their world, it will be interesting to see which side he will take, as -=DS=-S.W.A.T3 has stated before may prove to be valid:Quote:

Since Aizen is so twisted, I would not be surprised to have him see Ichigo as more of an experimental benefit to his standpoints.
Okay, I'm sorry, but there's just no hope in Kubo's storyline and plot anymore. I give up. I'm probably only sticking with this for the entertainment and nothing more because I have already invested so much time in this. The writing sucks at the moment, and Kubo really needs to step it up. Reading this is excruciating!
That was fucking ridiculous.
Ichigo got his ass handed to him so bad without that new Hollow power thing. Now he's back to normal for some reason.
Every one of these chapters contains like 10 text bubbles and the rest are just pictures with a ton of negative space (the space in a composition that contains nothing). What the fuck happened to the interesting writing of the Pendulum arc? I swear either a genius of an intern wrote that arc, or interns have been writing this shittiness.
But I'll keep reading because it's free! =D
This whole Ulquiorra battle has been so reminiscent of the Byakuya fight in the SS arc that I had trouble seeing it as anything but a clone. At first it was just that Ulquiorra had the same temperament as Byakuya.
And now this battle between Ichigo and Ulquiorra progressed in essentially the exact same way as the Ichigo Byakuya battle. Ichigo looked pretty good at the beginning but started to get outclassed as the fight wore on, eventually he gets a whole blasted in him, then Hollow mode saves the day and his opponent is rendered barely able to fight after which Ichigo apologizes for whipping ass in a form that "wasn't really him". Then they chat, and the opponent vanishes from the field of battle. The only thing missing this time was the final charge at one another. I would give props that Ulq at least seems to have died but I'm not ruling out that he'll show up again in a few chapters and heroically sacrifice himself somehow to save Orihime somehow.Quote:

There are so many interesting story thread still lying around that I wish Kubo would pick up and weave into something interesting instead but oh well, at least we might learn more about some of the other Captians or something.
Corrected for greater accuracy.Quote:
