Bleach: Omnibus #18

by Tite Kubo

Part-time student, full-time Soul Reaper, Ichigo is one of the chosen few guardians of the afterlife.

Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts—he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace. Find out why Tite Kubo’s Bleach has become an international manga smash-hit!

Ichigo lost his Soul Reaper powers defending his hometown, and now someone has turned up who might be able to help him regain them! But is Ginjo really the ally he seems to be? Luckily Ichigo’s true friends Rukia and the others from the Soul Society are ready to support him through his tough training, whether or not his new teacher can be trusted!

Still not my favourite arc! But, hey! A thousand-year blood war is looming😁

The ending in this arc was epic and the battle scenes were exceptional.

My favourite part: Byakuya! Welcome back, my darling soul reaper.

Yes, he is my favourite🤣

I still thought this arc was a joke, but there are a few 'truths'. See you in the blood war.

Vol. #18: ★★★☆☆



I was a bit bored with this arc. It feels a bit filler-y. It's not bad but it's only a bridge between Aizen and the final arc.
I like Rukia's dessign tho

The Fullbring arc was okay, not bad, but definitely not at the same level of the Arrancar arc. I do like the idea of the powers, but it just didn’t feel flushed out enough.

incoherent and inessential. i did enjoy kenpachi and ikkaku showing up, ignoring their opponents' lengthy speeches, and one-shotting them — a great metaphor for this terrible storyline!

with this volume i am officially caught up to where i quit reading back in the day, so i think starting with the next volume it's new! exciting.

The end of The Lost Agent Arc story. Ichigo will be betrayed! The Xcution crew will battle! And... the return of familiar faces from the Soul Society. I can't but say that this is probably the worst arc story ever written. While to me, reading the betrayal part to Ichigo might turn heads, its just felt too weak in the plot and the battle sequences is just rehash on previous chapters. While this explains about the Deputy Badge Soul Reaper meaning, it doesn't give importance of it why this arc should be told. Next - Thousand-Year Blood War arc... but I already read them so doubt will re-read them.

By far my least favorite arch of the Bleach Manga.

[Diana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly, I really don't care much about any people from the new crew, not even Ginjo, but in the grand scheme of things, all where more or less necessary to the end result so…
Anyways, it great that this step didn’t take longer because who wants to read about a depressed Ichigo?

It was lovely how in the end everyone pitched in for Ichigo.

Great volumes, especially 54.

[Coral Davies · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although undeniably filled with some feel good, satisfactory slap downs, I was left ultimately dissatisfied by the culmination of the Full Bring arc. It felt flat, uninspired and was highly uninteresting.

[Carissa · Rating 3 out of 5]

perhaps one of the most uninteresting filler arcs i have ever read in my life, if you wanted 'friendship overrules all' these 6 volumes are essentially it in a nutshell- it was interesting to see ichigo being weak for once so that was a nice change in pace for the manga

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

That didn't last very long.
And like...why bring out Ichigo's Fullbringer whatever only to take it away and now he's a soul reaper again and like...was there a point?

I guess the only real progress/change is the deputy soul reaper badge has more meaning? kinda?
idk...

[Kurtis Burkhardt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the biggest fan of this full bring arc, seems a waste of 6ish volumes 😂👌❤️

[Pedro Braga · Rating 3 out of 5]

até agora achei esse fullbringuer muito sem graça

[Holly Letson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read as individual volumes.

[Andy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not my favorite arc or group of characters, but it had a somewhat satisfying end? I don't know what the purpose was, but it is nice seeing old characters back.
