This was a relatively short chapter, but it's a great setup for what's about to boil down to probably the next biggest fight to happen in Bleach: Ichigo vs Uryu. These two frenemies now are at an impasse ~ Why did Uryu side with Yhwach? Will Ichigo forgive Uryu? Is this all a plot for Yhwach? Who knows, but at the end of the chapter ~ we see a very flustered Ichigo pretty much saying to Uryu, "WTF Dude." The chapter starts out pretty much the whole "It was inevitable" cliche where the main antagonist knew all alone of Ichigo's destiny (much like how Aizen did it), but Ichigo refuses to believe it. Yhwach is responsible for Masaki's Death, which then propels Ichigo to get even angrier with Yhwach. Just as Team Ichigo (Yoruichi, Orihime, Chad, & Ganju) were about to help, Wandenreich member Parnkjas shows up behind Yoruicbi and does a number on her arm ~ twisting it so much that blood is creeping out. And that sums up the chapter. Yhwach provokes Ichigo, Parnkjas tries to stop Team Ichigo, and Ichigo's pissed at Uryu's betrayal. This fight is very reminiscent of Naruto vs. Sasuke, we all know what's going to happen. The two are probably going to rekindle their friendship and let bygones be bygones. However, we have yet to discover why Uryu joined Yhwach in the first place. Will we ever see everyone else aid in the War? Will Tier Harribel reappear? Will the remaining Xcution members be relevant? What of Grimmjow's condition ~ surely he must be recovered from Nnoitra's fatal blow. This demands an answer. So far, it's more set-up for the upcoming fight between friends turned enemy. I'll give this week's chapter a solid: B.
So what did you think of this week's chapter? Good? Bad? Somewhere in between? Comment below and let me know. Look forward to WBCRs whenever chapter's available. Until then, you all stay classy now.
