Wow, final epic battle. The arc is done, and I felt so emotional.
Gin . . . You should have told her. This was so tragic.
In the end, Aizen was so delusional but a genius. . .
One arc to go, then it is the Thousand Year Blood war.

"You get to die with a hole in your chest. That should make you happy."
"Are you scared because something you can't understand is taking place right before your eyes?"
Kubo had a weird thing about giving mullets to super forms.
Final Getsuga Tensho is basically Heavenly Restriction. Well, the other way around. I'm calling Akutami a plagiarist.

The final battle with Aizen was really cool. I do like Gin as a character. Urahara is still so cool

I just started rewatching the anime a few days ago, and reading this at the same time that I just saw Aizen show up for the first time in the anime is a total trip. And by rewatching I mean catching up to where I left off because I never actually finished this arc, and what a journey and story Tite Kubo has created!
One of my goals for 2026 will be to finish this manga (and try to catch up to the anime), this is such a visual story, you just gotta watch it! (will be skipping the endless filler content, however, most of it was bad enough the first time around)

Just as good on a reread, but paperback 🤤🤤🤤
Rereading it has made me appreciate the narration a lot more

The end of the Arrancar arc! Sosuke Aizen had reached his evolutionary of ladder and enters the real Karakura Town. Meanwhile, Ichigo and his father are in Dangai, Ichigo finally learns the final Getsuga Tensho move! As the battle comes to a close, Ichigo will do any thing to save his friends... even losing his Soul Reaper powers. This arc ends with a little satisfaction, in a way appropriate for this arc. I don't think that its bad, just that thr series should have ended here instead. But there's a next volume to this one. On towards a new arc.

This was a good 3 in 1.
All volumes were interesting.
LIGHT SPOILERS:
I, obviously, particularly liked:
- the spirit of the initial fight between Ichigo and Aizen
- how Ichigo matured with his father's help
- how Urahara saved the day (even if it is said that he stole Ichigo's thunder) - Ichigo won, but only Urahara could trap Aizen permanently
- how sad it is that Ichigo ended up losing his powers :(

Insane resolution to the whole Bleach Saga so far, it could have honestly ended here. With Ichigo achieving the require pawer last second, as usual, we are able to experience the end of the Arrancars. I don't know how you move forward after this while keeping the story interesting, but I am curious about the future.

Really loveeee this Arrancar arc, easily one of my top arcs in anime/manga! So many awesome exciting characters and epic battles 😻😻😁

Aizen is an idiot.
Also my poor Ichigo.
Also my poor Ichigo.

Wonderful end to my favorite Arc.

3/5: the ending was rather anticlimactic tbh
November 26, 2023
Whoa! Looking forward to what happens next.

Sometimes when I read Bleach, it feels like the narration dwells too long on some parts and is missing in other parts. That holds true in this volume, but it's not close to deterring my love for the battle of fake Karakura Town and the conclusion of this arc. So well done and so satisfying.

The “ending” to bleach, I do have to say it was underwhelming but still made me very happy

Oh! And uryu's dad!!

I love this cover. The end of Aizen I almost can’t believe he’s finally taken down. Ichigo sacrifices everything he cares for most for those he cares for the most why a legend.
