STRIPE'S GONNA GET PUNISHED! - Bleach #349

I hate how much Orehime was side lined in this arc. She grew up after the last arc and I wish that was shown more. Instead she returns to being an airhead X's 2 and the token hot girl. I am excited though to see your reaction to her in the upcoming episodes.

Curtis has got to go back for the beach episode if he wants to see rangiku in her glory

I personally think that Orohime is a Hogyoku modified Bount, since no other group creates beings that interact with their user. Orohime's hairpins are very reminiscent of a Bount Crest and her fairies could be dolls, just like the greatest Doll, Ritz.

After this please react to the Zanpakutō Rebellion arc

I've tried to post this comment twice but it's not showing up for some reason. Not sure why the others ones aren't showing up, but hopefully this one will.. You mentioned people in the comments that don't care much for this arc and i wanted to offer some information (no spoilers) that will help explain that reaction. First i want to point out that this is when Kubo (the author) started to rush the story. However, he originally had a lot more planned for this arc but it ended up being rushed and large chunks of the storyline were cut out. The Fullbring ability and its place in the Bleach universe isn't explained very well either. Soul Reapers, Quinci, Hollows, Vizards, and Arrancars all have a clear role and purpose within Bleach, but Fullbringers end if feeling shoe-horned in. And sadly that's a result of Kubo rushing this arc. Also, for those of us that were into this series and had to wait for episodes, we had nothing but guesses for an explanation to Orihime and Chads powers. Throughout the series (up until now) Kubo had dropped small clues to what their abilities were. And when it comes time to properly explaining the Fullbring ability, its origin, and role in the Bleach universe, Kubo decides to rush it. It was a bit of a let down to us. And it's even worse when you know what was cut and how much it would have improved the arc if it had been kept in. *HOWEVER* it's not a horrible arc. There are some parts that are done really well and even at it's worst, It's s still way better than any filler episode. Speaking of filler, something else worth pointing out. The full filler arc in Bleach was the Bount Arc and their abilities are very similar to Fullbring ability. The Bount arc was also taken fairly seriously for a filler (there are even fans that enjoy it and consider it worth keeping) So the Fullbringer arc ends up feeling less original, even tho Kubo thought of Fullbringers first, we saw Bounts first. Another point is that the anime ends on this arc and it's a crappy way to end the anime. The story of the arc itself was weak due to it being rushed and ontop of that, this arc isn't meant to be the end of the Bleach story, just this arc and it never felt like a proper ending. By direct contrast, the way the fake Karakura town arc, this one was very weak. Luckily, the anime is returning so this arc may get more love later when it's not associated with the end of the anime. (maybe we'll get lucky and they'll even fill in some of the info cut from this arc and the following one because that info has since been published in light novels) Toward the end, i'll likely type out another long-winded comment explaining some of the cut information from this storyline.

Excellent point! :-D
