I think this reflects the consensus among most of the fanbase. Coming off the high-stakes battles of the Arrancar arc, the Fullbring arc suddenly drops the power levels back down to something closer to the very first arc. Because of this jarring contrast, many fans see it as a letdown and end up skipping it entirely. But I'd argue the arc was never really about power levels to begin with. At its core, the Fullbring arc is a character study, it's about Ichigo's mental state after losing his powers and the helplessness he feels at no longer being able to protect the people he cares about. That vulnerability is the whole point: for the first time in the series, Ichigo isn't the strongest guy in the room, and he has to sit with that. This becomes clearer as the arc progresses. The slower pacing and smaller-scale conflicts actually mirror Ichigo's diminished state, giving the story room to explore his self-doubt, his strained relationships with friends who've moved on without him, and his desperation to reclaim what he lost. Judging it purely by power-scaling misses what the arc is actually trying to do emotionally, it's a quieter, more introspective chapter that sets up his eventual growth once he regains his abilities. Whether the Fullbring mechanic itself carries forward or matters in later arcs doesn't really change its value here. Not every power system needs long-term relevance to justify its existence in the story. Its purpose in this arc is narrative and emotional, not mechanical, it exists to put Ichigo through a specific arc of loss and rediscovery, not to set up a permanent new power source. Judging it by whether it "matters later" applies the wrong metric to what the arc was trying to accomplish in the first place.

Yea it doesnt hit the highs and it has so many things to nitpick and what not, especially how obtuse everything and everyone is going out of the way to be, its definitely one of the least liked arcs. mangawise it looks like 356 and 358 are the next canon episodes, no idea what theyre doing with 357.

The training is getting repetive

12 episodes bro its coming

Judging this arc now is too early I swear this is the best arc in Bleach. Fullbring Arc > Thousand Year Blood War I will die on this hill. All the episodes you've watched in this arc so far is the build-up phase you haven't gotten to the actual arc yet. Dragon Ball Super wishes it had an arc like this.

Bount Arc is also goated put me in the boxing ring.

You're right to not feel invested in this fight though but Kubo knows what he's doing

What obtuse, it's a character focused retrospect with a mystery behind it it's not supposed to straight forward or high octane that doesn't mean it can't be good or a high point of a series that's why everyone shits on the arc their too brain dead to sit and listen for more than 5 minutes without attention span spaz control " magical swords go clang and boom."

Pyro Sasebo

okay, i literally said its one of my favorite arcs because of that at the start of this arc, sorry for pointing out issues that the majority of people also seem to think it has even while it was being published, chill

erueka6

I wasn't talking about you but the people who complain being the 'majority", have issues or are just illiterate minded and can't take a story seriously because words and thinking are hard is a common theme. I wish this was how the series went on for the rest of its run, a bit more grounded and character focused rather than being turned into a mess of an adhd bait the next arc is because. We had our perfect rising action,villain and ending but so much was unxplored and this style was that solution.

I get why you don't like to be kept in the dark too much, but it's intentional. You are supposed to be kept in the dark, this arc is a mystery arc and you're still in the build up of the arc. I enjoy the fact that the viewer cannot yet understand Tsukishima's motives, that's why it's interesting - because you can't predict what's going to happen. You are not meant to know those goals yet, just trust in the narrative and enjoy the ride. The important questions you have will be answered eventually. Like others have said this arc of Bleach is a very different style than other arcs. Rather than being mostly focused on combat like a more traditional shonen arc, it's more of a mystery/thriller/character study type of arc. I think it's breath of fresh air because it gives the story time to breath and it gives more weight to Ichigo losing his powers rather than just instantly giving him his powers back without any mental struggles. Also FYI Orihime did offer to heal Uryu a few episodes ago but he rejected the healing, seemingly out of shame that he got cut down so easily.
