Synopsis: The Soul Reapers are shocked by the sudden return of Aizen, but does he hold the key to victory against the Quincies? Ichigo heads to Reiokyu to face Yhwach once again but waiting to slow him down is an old foe...

My rating: ★★★★★

Things are bad, guys. They are SO bad!

No shit. Lol. But while the last volume made me cry, I found that this one was more on the fun side, which I appreciated after that sacrifice 😩

The Soul Reapers get some unexpected help, and honestly I was extremely surprised!

First of all, now that everything is horrible, the Quincies are wanting to join forces with the Soul Reapers to make things not horrible 😑 Yeah, nice timing guys. Look, I don’t trust them, but the Reapers do need all the help they can get. And boy do they get it! So, not only are they getting help from the Quincies (in the Seireitei), but they are also getting help from the Arrancars (up in Reiokyu)! OMG! Including Grimmjow! Oh and Nel is back too! I LOVE her! Oh, but that’s not all... the freaking Fullbringers are helping out too! What is going on?! Lol. But I guess it sort of makes sense, what with ALL worlds are collapsing. It was an interesting reunion for sure!

Besides that fun surprise, we got this fun group of characters that banded together: Kenpachi, Kurotsuchi, Nemu, Yumichika and Ikkaku, and poor little Hanataro! I loved this quirky group! Kurotsuchi and Kenpachi are NOT getting along, as you may have guessed lol...

And poor Hanataro is stuck in the middle of it all! Lol. He’s not a fighter, he’s a healer! Lol.

Anyway, I thought that was a lot of fun! I love a good action sequence, but I have to admit that my favorite thing about this volume was definitely the interactions between the characters!
