Bleach Review: KILL THE KING

"You cannot save anyone Ichigo"

The chapter begins with the arrival of the rest of the Visords who help Urahara create the door that will lead to the Soul Palace and they agree to go with him. At the Soul Palace Ichigo says to Yhwach that they will stop him however Yhwach says that with his eyes he has already seen this happen and that they where too late to save the Soul King. Ichigo rushes forward to remove the blade however his arm is then covered in Blut and he slashes at the Soul King. Yhwach say's Ichigo's Quincy blood is what is attacking the Soul King and that the Soul Society will now be destroyed.

Did I pick a wrong time to get back to reviewing Bleach because once again this week's chapter was a major disappointment. Once again the story barely moved forward at all and the majority of it was again spent with Urahara as he explains how and why they have to get to the Soul Palace. I like that the rest of the Visords are here now but Hiyori's attitude was just annoying and just wasted a lot of time arguing with Shinji and refusing to change into a Soul Reaper uniform. Sui - Feng has went back to her old bitchy self by insulting Urahara which I never understood because Urahara has always been a better Soul Reaper and person than she has ever been. The only think of interest was that it looks like the Soul Society is now going to be destroyed and I want to see what happens next; will Yhwach create a new world? However I don't get why Ichigo attacked the Soul King because even though he does have Quincy blood (from his mother) didn't he already sort out his powers when training with Nimaiya?

Wonder if Ichigo will be forced to obey Yhwach?

Overall I know that Kubo has been ill but we have had three chapters now where basically nothing happens; no interesting fights and no advancement in the story.

SCORE: 2/10

Highlights: Destruction of the Soul Society?

Let - Downs: Everything
