Bleach 582-The Headless Star

Zach Goodier




I'm using a Mangastream link, since I generally like the quality of their translations better, but Mangapanda still has it if that's your preferred site.

This week, Ichigo quickly finds himself surrounded by the same women that just finished beating down Kenpachi Zaraki, yet Ichigo seems relaxed, even seeing the powers of his enemies, and realizing that there is more to them than meets the eye.  As the fight begins in earnest, it appears to be 4 versus 1, but behind the scenes, Juha Bach has sensed Ichigo's arrival, and has begun preparations for some unknown plan in the works.  Even if Ichigo can easily defeat his current opponents, will he be ready for whatever the Quincy King is setting into motion now that Ichigo has arrived on the battlefield?

Seeing Ichigo in this fight was awesome, it really reminded me of how powerful Ichigo was back when he first learned his bankai and rescued Rukia.  It's nice to see that sort of strength from Ichigo, especially after his extensive training and his delayed arrival.  Another interesting part of the chapters was finally getting to see some Quincy using their bows, which it almost felt like Kubo forgot about in all the time he's spent on this arc.  The last panel also features one of the Quincy we've only seen bits and pieces of, but he seemed to be concerned over a "choice," but over what, we don't yet know.  Hopefully we will get to see more next week of what Ichigo and his opponents can do, and just what lies in store for him on the horizon.
