lol, out of all shinigami, they sent two pussies to act as fodder.

They just made even more trouble for berry-kun.

Can't wait to see what happens next chapter....still, I was expecting a 30+ page chapter

Hm, I could have sworn I read an interview somewhere recently where Kubo stated that Bleach would last for a while longer... guess I'm nuts.
this arc will last for 10 more years

Thats because generally a normal generic shinigami with nameless sword is enough to take out anything around gillian level one on one.

Those 2 little guys were sent by their captain, to train a bit ... no serious hollows were expected i think.

But look at those monstrosoties! Those things remind me of the scary hollows from hueco mundo.
And from what i understand something lured the hollows to get there or ordered them ...
Also is it me or for some reason mayuri and friends were more worried about the hollow disappearances than their appearances?

If the quincy / quincy ancestors or whatever are making them disappear ... then what the hell gets them to go there? The mistery shadow man? ...
It looked like he tossed a coin and then hollows show up.

I can already kinda see where this is going. The Thousand-Year Blood War. I'm making making an educated guess from what Mayuri said in the start of the chapter, the hollow appearing and disappearing, and the previous Quincy war that this arc is going to do something with a war between Shinigami and Quincy.

Final arc *hihi* Reminds me of the final arc that's running in Gantz right now... the one that I think began in 2009. I wonder if Bleach' story can move faster than that.

I liked this chapter, didn't expect any action, just a promise of an interesting story. And I find the idea of a "Quincy destroying the Soul Society System"-storyline very interesting, especially since I didn't predict it.

I'm guessing this "last arc" will be...incredibly long XD
Kubo said himself that the previous arc was a short arc, and the final arc would be prety long like the aizen one, so yeah, 2-3 more years of bleach?


Longer. We knew for a while that bleach has two arcs left "one shorter than arrancar arc, one longer than arrancar arc".

Arrancar arc lasted for around 5-6 years.

By Kubo's estimates this should be another ~7-8 years.
Didn't know about Kubo's estimates, a long time indeed, thanks for sharing.

Ugh, the last arc already? Well I heard this was gonna be a pretty long arc which is good, but yes Bleach needs to end, so let's hope its an interesting story. Though, waiting 3 weeks just for some filler? Two shinigami, gets into trouble, Ichigo saves the day... *sigh* I hope next chapters are way better.
Jouten said:
So in the end we will never get that background story on Ginjo and Tsukishima like we wanted, and the Fullbring arc is going to be pushed aside by Kubo and forgotten. Great....
I agree! I just feel that the Fullbring arc was just a story to make Bleach go on for even longer and for Ichigo's powers to return. I'd like a lot more story to this arc.
As it turns out, living was a punishment...

Isn't that always how it is?


Ehh...decent start. When's the last time we've seen Hollows, you know? Too bad Ichigo's the same smug guy as usual, even though he almost had a mental breakdown in the last arc.

If this arc is going to be about the Quincy's, consider me slightly interested. At the very least, I hope it makes me forget about the awful fullbring arc. Riruka, please don't show your face ever again! =l

Didn't even know there was new chapter. That's how bad i don't care about Bleach.

Basically it's Shinji and Hiyori all over again.

I kinda feel stupid for me believing that Kubo would go into detail with Ginjo and Tsukishima but oh well.

Kubo going for the 4 chapter end.

Chapter 1. Quincy luring tons of hollows, Soul Society gets nervous.
Chapter 2. Quincy commence attacking Soul Reapers.
Chapter 3. Ichigo kills all the bad guys.
Chapter 4. Ichigo walks off into the sunset leaving every question that was asked unanswered.

Still can't be as worthless as the last arc, how sad.

Slow start, but considering this is the "final" arc i anticipate it will pick up since there are many plot devices that still have to be used; All though the thing that makes me wonder about the Quincy idea is that while it makes sense, are the Quincy even a threat considering they were almost eliminated in the past and if Ishida is considered a top rate Quincy... it doesn't show to much promise for a antagonist against any sort of Captain or perhaps even Lieutenant Soul Reaper.

Quincy powers depend on the surroundings, not themselves.

Ishida in his final form pretty much one-shotted Mayuri.

Okay wow. Umm the other chapter was waayyy better! So they are having hollow issue's again, so what?

I want to see soul society again and see some real action from everyone including Squad zero because Kubo said it was gonna happen. And what about Isshin? WE havent really seen him except for the brief moment when he helped Rukia and Urahara with Ichigo's powers.

I just hope these chapters really pick up the pace so we see some good stuff.

I don't know why. I really don't. But I started crying when I saw the first page. Of course, I knew it was the last arc from before. And I also have been very disappointed in Bleach's story and plot recently. But seeing the words FINAL ARC. I had to cry. Even if the plot is shallow and has holes, I've grown to love these characters in Bleach and I am sad to be losing them soon.

BESIDES THAT, we get to know afro-man's world! :3
A bit disappointing though.. I wanted a more epic start.. Oh weell.
I still got tingles when Ichigo came though :P Musta been because of my break down.

An so the final arc begins... With two random weaklings talking a lot of nonsence then getting raped by some hollows on steriod, then badass Ichigo to the rescue.

Not sure what Kubo was thinking, if it's the last arc he should begin to tie some loose ends instead of creating new ones.

This is the first chapter that I've read from Bleach manga. I watched all 366 episodes of the anime and thought I'd finish it out by reading the final arc.

That being said, this was pretty...boring. I'm hoping that this develops into something worthwhile.

Last arc, twenty volumes to go, let’s do it.
I have to say, except the Substitute Shinigami arc, it was an enjoyable (very long) read so far.
The guy on the cover reminds me the villain Shan Yu from Disney’s Mulan.
