BA chapter 351 spoiler thread in a nutshell:

- Ichigo is a plotkai ape and Kubo is clearly hopped up on hallucinogens for making him defeat Ulquiorra.

- Ulquiorra's character has been fucked six ways to Sunday, therefore Bleach is trash and Kubo is the epitome of evil.

I love both Ichigo and Hichigo immensely. But the fact that people call OOOHHHAAAHHHichigo "Ichigo's newest kick-ass power-up" frustrates me to no end. That creature is not even Hichigo (whom I've been waiting for for so long, I want him to appear already, damn it) and definitely not Ichigo.

I can't say anything about plotkai. But Kubo is screwing the pace up yet again. He had to make ten or something chapters with Ichigo getting his ass handed to him soft and hard core and now... Ulq is getting owned by that thing in one friggin' chapter. I can understand the shock and anger some fans are feeling. The fight felt dragging at first and now it suddenly feels rushed.

Sigh... Kubo is yet to redeem Ichigo's character. The most important question right now is -- how the hell is he going to tame OOOHHHAAAHHHichigo? He has three options, IMO. To defeat his hollow by himself -- with help of his friends -- or fucking make peace with him. But of course he can also give up/lose and submit to King Hichigo.
