What? I got my shinigami abilities back so can't I come back to work?
Summary:
At Urahara's shop, Urahara goes to check on Riruka in the morning but discovers that she had left.
Meanwhile, Ichigo shows up unexpectedly in Soul Society, and the captains (except Ukitake and Kurotuchi) decide to grant him an audience. Some of the Vizards such as Hiroko and Kensei have gotten their captain posts back. Yamamoto thanks Ichigo for his hard work, but Ichigo states that he isn't here for praise. Rather, Ichigo is here to take back Ginjou's body (which Renji had brought back) and bury Ginjou in the material world. Hiroko and the other captains argue that Ginjou is a heinous criminal and messed with Ichigo's family, but Ichigo states that Ginjou is a "mere shinigami representative".
Later, Kyoraku finds Ukitake sitting out in a field. Kyoraku tells Ukitake that Ichigo said that he trusts Soul Society and decided to keep the representative badge. Kyorarku and Ukitake the both agree that Ichigo had grown.
Back in the real world, Riruka is standing on top of a building thinking of Ichigo, Orihime, Chad and Xcution before disappearing.

I think this is the final wrap-up chapter for the Fullbring arc as the series is going on break for three weeks afterwards. Looking back, the beginning and middle stages of the Fullbring arc weren't too bad when Tsukishima and Ginjou were messing around with Ichigo, but the ending was like if Kubo had ran out of ideas/patience and given up. So at the end of the arc, Ichigo has his powers back and this is the most important deliverable. The principal villain Ginjou is dead, and the other surviving Xcution members will probably not be seen for a long time. As for the Ukitake/Shinigami badge conspiracy, nothing really came out of that as Ichigo just decided to accept everything (that both Ukitake and Ginjou had their reasons and blah blah) and that was all. I don't know if there will be any more to the Fullbring business either other than that Chad and Orihime have Fullbrings. Hopefully the series makes good use of the three weeks hiatus and come up with somewhat better story for next arc.
That Ginjou with: "Thank You and Goodbye" was a gift by Kubo to Mr. Kluxorious and Mr. Johnny.
ReplyDeleteKubo should take all the time he needs to plan out the next story arc and ensure it doesn't end in mediocrity like this one.
ReplyDeleteOf all the Xcution members, Riruka was the most sympathetically portrayed and I was actually disappointed to see her leave. On the other hand, it's not like the already massive cast needs another permanent addition.
Also, I wonder what the other Visored like Love and Hiyori will do since their former positions were filled in the Gotei 13.
How could you NOT mentioned the return of the Vaizards as captain?
ReplyDelete@Daniel, the gift was the return of Shinji as Captain! *faps*
@Daniel
ReplyDeleteWhoa, even I don't remember that kluxorious liked the Vizards. You some kind of mind reader aren't you?
@Anonymous
hopefully Kubo plans out the whole thing with a decent ending.
The Vizards are back with Gotei 13, but I don't know if all of them will get their posts back.
@kluxorious
I DID... in the summary.
You didn't sound excited though T__T
