So according to some rumors, it was stated that Volume 74 would be the final volume of Bleach. Fans are speculating that there will only be 5 chapters left including the next one. The rumor will be confirmed or debunked tomorrow when the translations for tomorrow's chapter are posted online. If you don't care, then that's fine because this final arc has been terrible.

I've only watched bits and pieces of the bleach anime including aizen vs ichigo and read only the last 5 chapters. But man I hope aizen makes a comeback and gives a long ass speech to the zangetsu guy about how he knew that everything was going to happen and that he was the reason behind ichigo's existence and saves him.

A bittersweet end. At one side, dear lord Tite Kubo, enough, your child's already dead! Every villain has been brought back from the dead more times than your average phoenix, with the exquisite Shounin dialogue version of "nuh uhh, I had a forcefield, that means your attack doesn't work!"

On the other hand, it's the end of an era, and the first half of the series was actually solid. That's the thing though. You look at the first volume of the manga and compare it with the last half of Bleach, it's like a completely different series. It used to be that Hollows, the transcelestial boogeymen, were the problem. But now it's "Dude, Uryu, your clan is back! And they're…. Nazis!?" Like, at least with Naruto, you know the manga's always gonna be about Ninjas and One Piece pirates versus marines.

So yes, I'm overall glad the series is coming to an end. I'll remember the 2004-2011 arcs fondly.

Oh I remember when this Manga was on pair with one piece and naruto and thus the "big three".

Popularity dropped (wierdely not the sales of it), week after week on bottom of the popularity polls of the Shounen Jump and a end is near I wonder how the ending will be with all that happened in the last chapter.

Oh, now that is some interesting news. I remember my initial experimentations on reading Manga for the first time, and it turned out that Bleach was my first pick. I remember reading up to volume 20-ish, but I guess I must have lost interest in it. I also recall that Bleach was among the bigger manga titles (like One Piece, Naruto, etc.) so if it is actually ending in 5 chapters, I suppose it can finally rest in peace. 15 years is a pretty good running time, wouldn't you agree?

It honestly should've died long ago. Even Naruto knew when to put it down, and Bleach got way too sidetracked with its plot.

I highly doubt things are going to get wrapped up in 5 chapters

omg did I just call it?

more so in 5 volumes

You think we need 5 more volumes to cover the final battle?

fare thee well bleach I knew yee well, even when your story became shit I still continued to read you.

unless kubo is trolling us then fuck you bleach.

Lol No way in the world are people gonna be satisfied with the ending if it's in 5 chapters. Unless Kubo uses "The Almighty Power of Asspulls!". Then people will still be mad because of how ridiculous it will be.

From today's chapter there is no way it's ending in 4-5 chapters unless Kubo just doesn't care anymore which is likely considering the state of it.

But let's be honest most readers have either stopped reading a long time ago or are just waiting to see how it ends after all the plot holes in it. Since the Manga just ended up with each chapter having a new power just so that the next chapter shows a stronger power that makes the previous one irrelevant and unnecessary. At the end of it all it has made the series feel pointless.

The new rumor is that the series ends in less than 10 weeks meaning it could end in August or September.

I give it 2-4 more chapters, then 1-2 Epilogues and "Where are they now?" chapters. Maybe we'll get a Boruto-esque final chapter just to see if there's any more money left in the franchise.

>Bleach will never be the kooky everyday ghost adventures of Ichigo & friends the original 5 volumes of the manga implied

I really wish the series never went the Dragon Ball route and instead go for a more Diamond is Unbreakable route with them dealing with everyday hollow troubles.
Well, atleast we still have that first opening of the anime which was real neato.

It's official, Bleach will end next week.

Source?

So, it won't end tomorrow. It will end with 686 in two weeks. There's a WSJ break next week.

Such a sad and sudden end for such a monolith, but I guess SJ's too busy milking One Piece to care about much of anything else.

It seems to be that they came to Kubo a month ago and said "Wrap this shit up in a month or your canceled"

Basically, which is a shame considering how popular it still was.

That explains the immediate shift in setting comparing last week's chapter with this week's. We see Ichigo slice down Final Boss, and then suddenly 10 years later. I was like "wait, what? Where's the resolution? Do Ichigo and Orihime finally get giggity?"

Don't forget that there will be a special announcement coming with the final chapter.

If it's Bleach Shippuden I'm quitting manga.

If it's more bleach anime I'm quitting anime

The announcement is a live action movie slated for 2018.

Source? I honestly don't know what I was expecting, but that feels pretty underwhelming for me.

And here I thought that it couldn't get worse for Bleach fans.

The final chapter comes out tomorrow. The spoilers are posted on /r/Bleach if you want to find out what happens.

Welp, that's it I suppose.

Welp, at least Kubo ended the arc the way he started it: trolling.

And of course, looooots of unanswered shit, as well as a fatal plot hole.

This is all going according to Aizen's KEIKAKU!
