Bleach Review: The Ordinary Peace

"Time to take care of these meddling kids"

The chapter begins with Ichibei claiming that Ichigo and his friends won't be able to defeat Yhwach while having a weird look in his eyes and claiming that is what peace is all about. Back in Wandenreich City Ukitake has arrived with several others to go to the Soul Palace. Kenpachi also arrives and almost leaves to find Yachiru however he is convinced to stay and go to the Soul Palace by Urahara. The chapter ends with Ichigo and his group confronting Yhwach.

Maybe Ukitake will have a decent fight soon

Wow now this was one really short chapter where not much happened again and while this could be because of Kubo's recent illness it still felt like a waste. The progress of Bleach has been slow lately and this chapter was really just a small continuation of the last one; with more Captains preparing to go to the Soul Palace. Now I really don't like that so many Captains are leaving for the Soul Palace because first off there isn't enough Sternritter up there for enough one on one fights but maybe Kubo is planning some team ups. Secondly this is really going against my predictions that Yhwach will create more Sternritter from the Soldat and that there will still be quite a few Captains still in Wandenreich City to take them on, like Kenpachi for example. I do like that Ichigo and his group are finally confronting Yhwach however I doubt this is the final fight already so Yhwach will probably survive and maybe they will also fight Uryu, Haschwalth and the Elite Sternritter.

Just slice your way through Kenpachi!

As for everything else it was interesting that Ichibei seems to be siding with Ywach now with his vague talk of peace which is what Yhwach likes to talk about all the time. This is just a theory but maybe since Yhwach has killed the Soul King maybe he will be the new one and the Zero Squad has no choice to obey him. That would be cool because we will get to see them in action again and they will have to fight the main characters and the Captains who are arriving. I also did like the moment with Kenpachi who didn't care about going to the Soul Palace at first and wanted to find Yachiru.

Overall this chapter was just really short and not very exciting.

SCORE: 3/10

Highlights: Ichibei and the Zero Squad possibly the enemy now?
                   Kenpachi wanting to go find Yachiru

Let - Downs: Too Short
                      Nothing really significant happens
                      Too many Soul Reapers going to the Soul Palace
