Bleach, Vol. 48: God is Dead by Tite Kubo

3.0

---

I loved Gin’s betrayal of Aizen and his final goodbye to Rangiku. His character arc was very interesting. One thing I had a gripe with was Aizen’s character design in his different forms, they just felt uninspired compared to what we’ve seen before this. I admit that the final fight with Aizen and Ichigo felt too fast and simple after so much build up, and I almost wish that it had the same ridiculous length as the fight with Szayelaporro, but I understand why the Tite Kubo chose to have this fight wrapped up quickly and simply. I liked the aftermath of the fight and showing how each character began to pick things up in the aftermath of such a long war with Aizen and the Arrancar. The goodbye between Rukia and Ichigo was heartbreaking, even if I know that they’ll meet again one day. Overall, this felt a bit rushed for an epic conclusion, but it was a necessary transition out of this arc.
