Alright, so I just finished the Uryu arc, and this was certainly better than the Don Kanonji arc which was just complete crap, but there are still plenty of things I don’t understand about the whole Quincy vs Soul Reaper thing.
For one, why would a non-soul equilibrium between the Soul Society and Earth threaten the entire universe? Unless Bleach is about to introduce aliens, Earth is just one remote planet in an infinitely vast universe, which would mean that all souls should be concentrated on earth right? Not sure why earth is viewed by Titty as being significant enough to threaten the entire universe if it’s “soul equilibrium” which wasn’t explained gets thrown off.
For two, why exactly do the Soul Reapers need the Quincies to fight Hollows? Uryu’s master seemed like he fought for this ideal for his whole life, but why exactly are Quincies needed? Why can’t Quincies just act like the Kisume gang (or whatever his name is), who are clearly allies of the Soul Reapers but not actual Quincies? If Uryu wants to dedicate himself to fighting Hollows, he doesn’t have to ally himself with the Quincies…even Uryu and his master agreed that Soul Reapers were on the right side in the conflict vs the Quincies, so why exactly must they remain Quincies? I don’t think this was explained and I just found myself confused as to why this was happening.
And now of course the Tweenagers are getting Powerups, which fuck it, I’m not even going to complain I guess. Up until now Inoue’s only character traits were “boobs” and “I love Ichigo” so I guess making her actually able to fight Hollows is an improvement.
And as for Uryu, disregarding the unexplained plot hole in his ideology that I discussed above, he was a pretty decent character. Nothing amazing but better than 99% of Bleach characters I’ve met so far I guess. I suppose I might consider him “my favorite Bleach character” as of now but that’s like winning a race with no competition.
And once again, Hollows just pose no threat to anyone who even has a novice power to combat them, even Chad and Inoue with no experience pretty easily swept up the Hollows that they were facing. I thought with Menos or whatever we would finally meet a Hollow that showed us how dangerous these spirits can be, but the thing retreated the second it suffered some damage.
So I would give the Uryu arc, idk. Like a generous C+. A step up from the Kanonji arc to be sure but still a barely passing arc.
