Bleach Vol 23
Sometimes, I lament my tendency to change around icons a lot. Parts of this volume are just perfect for an icon of Ichigo waving around a giant sword and claiming he isn’t overcompensating.
Random, unconnected comments.
Ok, so, I totally forgot that Ulquiorra popped his own eye out and crushed it. Probably because I don’t like him much. It’s the kind of thing you remember, though.
Grimmjow’s comment about how he could beat Urahara and Yoruichi make me want him and Yoruichi to have a fight. Though I’m not sure his ego could handle it.
The canon proof that Byakuya won’t let Rukia advance in the Soul Society because he thinks she can’t take care of herself. Right. I sometimes forget why I don’t like him much. Despite my respect for his being able to make a technique centering around a shower of sakura petals be badass.
Meanwhile, I continue to love Rukia’s verbal and quasi-physical smackdown of Ichigo for getting his head too big and spouting one too many “Stay out of trouble and I shall protect you!” lines. More manga characters would benefit from that than I can name. Sadly, most mangaka would never dream of letting the girl do it. Sometimes the token butt-kicking mentor lady, never The Chick.
I love how certain people’s Bankai are just Really Big Swords With Significant Lack of Overcompensation! Really! Ichigo, Ikakku and Renji off the top of my head, but I think there are others, too.
I do not think I’ve seen the omake at the end of this volume before. Poor Nanao. For her, there is no escape from People Who Do Not take Life Seriously Enough. She should stage a protest.
