Ch316-330
Ch316: Swang the Edge Down
this fucking panel!
i'm so glad this was like 15 years ago lmao....also the close up of her face on the next page, like damn kubo
Ch317: Six Hearts Beat as One
still having tatsuhime feelings about all this though /holds head i just....tatsuki..... :(
the close-ups!!! of their faces!!!
"you may not be able to feel the exact same things as someone else but when you care about each other deply you can put your heart a little closer to them. surely that is what making your hearts as one means." and again, the callback to rukia and kaien's 'heart' convo
"if it cannot appear in my eyes then it does not exist" and that's a bit of a flashback to sth aizen said in tbtp....lemme see i knew i grabbed a screenshot
that's from....TBTP 10? maybe? anyway
"if i tear open your chest [...] if i shatter your skull" is this an (intentional) callback to grimmjow & nel?
Ch318: Five Towers / Four Pillars
yes yes good pacing/a-b switching (the plots are about to scatter like sebonbanana again but rn we have ulqui/ichi fight and everyone in fkt)
the best & brightest!! that's' you shuuhei <3
Ch319: Ants and Dragons
'i may not have said anything' SOIFON PLS
'now that you mention it....i don't really have anyone to pray to...' IKKAKU PLS
yumichika.vine (did i make that ref already? yeah probably)
Ch320: Beauty is So Solitary
the word 'troll' has ceased to have meaning
Ch321: Black Briers and Brambles
"not in anyone's eyes...i see....thanks" YUMICHIKA
Ch322: Oath Under the Rose
i like that kubo rotates who gets to have big fights....the benefit of so many characters but that other series don't necessarily take advantage of! and obv my faves can't get a good fight every time but it's still a decent rotation yknow
Ch323: (Untitled)
DAMN KIRA this is such a good chap for him
Ch324: The Claws*
Shuuhei!!! (oh he uses kido too....plus nice panel of him w kazeshini)
Ch325: Fear For The Fight*
ahh this dialogue is rather like kira's warrior stuff...interesting
"he who does not fear the sword he holds is not worthy of holding a sword" SHUU!!!
so ikkaku is hiding his bankai just like yumichika hides his shikai
Ch326: Knockdown Monster
and komamura, who had also hidden himself for so many years...but ah now that he and iba are here...i don't remember how this fight ends so i'm quite interested
Ch327: Knockdown Monsters
komamura so cool....
Ch328: The Knuckle Debate
IBA & IKKAKU :'(((((
'my ears are not working very well today' KOMAMURA I LOVE YOU
Ch329: Raging Rampage
"no no it's my shoulders that are stiff" "what are you talking about? i've never once seen you with stiff shoulders" shunsui pls
"we can't fight at full power with her here. the same is true for you as well, right?" because she's him, basically....starrk vs kenchan woulda been good
Ch330: Crossing Swords
water vs water
