Bleach (Chapters 8-12) - Review

Chapter 8
Nice color page!

Chad disappeared. Ichigo tried to find him in vain.

Ichigo called Rukia by her first name! And we now have more information about Hollows.




Ichigo is awesome!

Chad is the best bro.

Ichigo came across Karin who isn't feeling well.


See what I meant by Ichigo and Rukia's relationship is a strong point of this manga?


While Karin is always acting tough, she is now breaking down completely, as she's overwhelmed by the parakeet's memories and the strongest one happens to feature the gruesome murder of Shibata's mother. Karin is only 11 years old, This is not something she should have seen.


Chapter 9
OH NO! Rukia fucked up. While she was chasing Chad and the parakeet, she didn't see that she was followed by a hollow. And this hollow is creepy ("You've got a very tasty scent. Let met eat that soul of yours").

Ichigo's mother was implied to be dead in the first chapter and it is now confirmed. That makes Karin breakdown even more sad as she had seen another child's mother dying while her own mother is dead.


Rukia is a badass action girl.

But she is still to weak since she lost most of her powers whereas the hollow, Shrieker, is tough. He had already killed two shinigami.


Chad is so funny! And Chad is very protective of those who need defending. He put his life on the line for Yuuichi against Hollows even if he doesn't have any Shinigami power.

But he doesn't need special powers against Shrieker. Chad is a badass "normal" dude. 
The Hollow was about to kill Rukia until Chad saw that something was hurting her so he just punched the air in front of her. Chad can't see spirits in this fight. So he's just throwing punches at nothing and he's so strong that it's enough to hurt this demon serial killer. 



Yeah perhaps "normal" was not the right word. Chad beat up a Hollow by tearing a telephone pole out of the ground and beating it senseless. And he couldn't even see it; Rukia was telling him where to aim.


Chapter 10
Shrieker the Virgin vs Chad the Chad, and Rukia the Best Girl


HOLY SHIT! That's how Shrieker managed to kill two Shinigami.

Chad and Rukia are so screwed!

No, I'm kidding. Chad is ridiculously strong.

It made my day to see the best bro and the best girl doing stupid thing together in battle.

Unfortunately their plan didn't work.

As Sado asks why Yūichi is here, Yūichi apologizes and tells Sado that Shrieker caught him, shocking Sado, while a laughing Shrieker says Sado is not as dumb as he looks before telling Rukia to run so he can have the pleasure of chasing her down.


And Ichigo is (again) there to save everyone!


Chapter 11
.
Ichigo is much stronger and faster than Shrieker. However, Ichigo stops his swing at Shrieker's neck and asks him if he killed Yūichi's parents.wants to know 

Yuichi's mother is awesome. Despite being stabbed multiple times, she still tried to protect her son.

That's a lame way to die. But he totally deserved it.

That guy was a monster when he was a human. And as a hollow, he is of course still a monster.


Chapter 12

"With this, you can't move. You can't use your weapon to fight. How's that feel? Never forget, that's terror! Hammer it into your mind and disappear!" Ichigo Kurosaki
Ichigo then slashes Shrieker across his mask and won the battle.


Hell does exist in Bleach universe. That's interesting.

The chain of fate was already disconnected as too much time passed, so it is impossible to return Yuichi to his body anymore.



SPOILER: Rukia is wrong (or she is lying?), Soul Society sucks. 


RIP Yuichi Shibata. You didn't deserve to experience such a tragic life. I hope Shrieker is suffering in hell and that you will one day find your mother in Soul Society.
