I have an abundance of questions swirling around in my mind. What on earth did Dark Ichigo imply when he made the statement that Ichigo would be king? Was it a prophecy of some sort, or did it hold a deeper, more hidden meaning? And then there's the question of Kenny. Is he truly, undeniably dead? There are just so many uncertainties, so many loose ends that remain untied. It feels as if I'm constantly searching for answers in a vast, dark void. So many questions, and yet, there never seem to be enough answers to satisfy my curiosity. It's frustrating, really. But perhaps that's what keeps me coming back, eager to uncover the truth and finally have all of my questions answered.

I'm back on the Bleach train after petering out last year. And damn does it feel good! Volume 13 finds us right in the middle of things that are already in motion. Thankfully, I was already up to speed on this, courtesy of watching the three or four episodes of Bleach that lead into them. Namely, it's Ichigo's big battle against his first Captain, Kenpachi. While we get appearances from a number of beloved characters, especially on the Soul Society side of things, Ichigo v Kenpachi really dominates the page count.


For those of us who have read or watched through this arc before, this fight is one of the highlights. It's not just a highlight of this arc, but of the whole series. So the strong focus on this battle doesn't feel out of place at all. It's exciting to see Ichigo push himself to his limits against such a powerful opponent. The art in this volume really brings the fight to life, with dynamic panels and intense action scenes. I can't wait to see what happens next in this thrilling series.

This volume is absolutely my favorite so far.

There is an abundance of growth in it. The characters have developed and evolved in significant ways, which makes the story even more engaging.

Not only that, but there is also a great deal of action. The plot is filled with exciting and thrilling moments that keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

From start to finish, this volume is a non-stop adventure that I simply couldn't put down. It has everything I love in a story - great characters, a captivating plot, and plenty of action.

I can't wait to see what the next volume has in store.

Ichigo vs Kenpachi is an epic battle that leaves readers on the edge of their seats.

Just when it appears that Ichigo is defeated, he encounters Zangetsu, and their training begins. This training sequence is truly wonderful, as it showcases the growth and determination of Ichigo.

When Ichigo finally faces Kenpachi at full strength, he proves who the real boss is. The fight is intense and action-packed, with both characters giving it their all.

Adding to the emotional depth of the story, we are treated to a short backstory of Kenpachi and Yachiru. Their relationship is both romantic and heartwarming, making readers fall in love with the characters even more.

As if that wasn't enough, the volume also features Byakuya and interesting revelations between Ganjyu and Rukia. The story continues to unfold in an exciting and unpredictable way, leaving readers eager for more.

This volume of Bleach is truly awesome and continues the tradition of excellence that the series is known for.

Było to strasne zmatene pomoc. It was such a terrifying and confusing help. The situation seemed to be out of control, and the so-called help only added to the chaos. People were running around, not knowing what to do. The confusion was palpable in the air. There were shouts and cries everywhere. It was as if the world had turned upside down. The assistance that was supposed to bring order and relief had instead become a source of more stress and worry. Nobody could understand why this was happening. It was a mystery that needed to be solved quickly. But in the midst of all this chaos, there were still a few people who remained calm and tried to make sense of the situation. They were the ones who would hopefully be able to turn this terrifying and confusing help into something useful and beneficial.

The story is principally focused on a combat. It is a bit long, which might make the reader feel a bit impatient at times. However, fortunately, certain passages have managed to redeem the overall experience.

These passages are filled with intense action and vivid descriptions that draw the reader back in and keep them engaged.

The combat scenes are well-written, with details that bring the battle to life.

The characters' emotions and actions during the combat are also portrayed realistically, adding to the authenticity of the story.

Despite its length, the story has its moments that make it worth reading.
