Bleach 536: "June Truth"

Article by Zach Goodier

Bleach 536 @ MangaStream

This week's chapter continues the flashback into the history between Isshin and Masaki.  This chapter serves mainly as comic relief, before ending on the cliffhanger of telling the story of Masaki's death when Ichigo was young.  There really isn't any huge plot development here, but I was certainly laughing.  Isshin and Masaki have a very good dynamic working for them at this point, with Isshin struggling to save Masaki, and Masaki acting all sweet and oblivious.  Hopefully, we'll see the next chapter or two ending this mini arc and finally bringing us back into the main story.  I have loved the revelations this arc has provided, but I'm getting anxious to see what happens next in the current time frame.  Check back next week to see what happens next.

Bleach Chapter 532 is out!

It's that time of the week: Bleach manga chapter is out for all to enjoy.  Some **SPOILERS** ahead. Last week, we saw captain of squad 10, Isshin Shiba, fighting a mysterious hollow clad in black armor.  Just when Isshin was planning to get serious, he suffers a wound from a surprise attack from behind.  As it turns out, Sosuke Aizen and his party have come to ensure that their "sample" isn't interfered with by someone who can use a bankai.  Now, Isshin is wounded and having to face this monstrosity all by himself, unable to use his bankai due to the seriousness of his wounds and the apparent toll it takes on his body to use his bankai.  Aizen is preparing to leave, claiming that if his "sample" couldn't survive a shikai, then it's a failure anyways; however, a young Masaki Kurosaki appears on the scene, sensing the fight and wanting to end it before someone gets hurt.  Kaname moves to eliminate her; however, Aizen stops him, saying that he wants to see what happens.  To see exactly what does happen, check out the link and read for yourself.
