Bleach Manga thread (SPOILERS)

 Spoiler

Nice try Ginjo, pretty bad last ditch effort to turn things in his favour though. Flaw number 1: Soul Society decided to reinstate his powers because he has proved that he is a huge asset. Flaw number 2: Captains and lieutenants have suppressed reiatsu as well, through their limit mark. It's good that Ichigo's reiatsu is sealed, or else he'd be a hollow magnet for the entire town.
Obviously Ichigo's going to accept that as a necessary evil. I mean looking at Ginjo, if Ginjo had even half of Ichigo's reiatsu, he'd try to destroy Soul Society. Ginjo proved through his own actions the necessity of the badge as a tracking and limiting device. Overall interesting chapter. Finally gives 13th squad a defined roll instead of being another footsoldier squad.

I feel this whole arc was created just to get around this part of the plot. It wasn't worth it

I agree with you both. I was kind of surprised this chapter went this way, but I am happy we are getting back to the fighting. I also agree that this seems like one hell of a detour, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.
