God Eater - Kyuuseishu no Kikan Chapter 5 6 7 4 3 2 1

If the fight scenes in Bleach are like visual poetry, then the words the characters say to each other are ... actually too poetic, with a lot of loud, theatrical declarations of aggression. Give this translation credit for adding some flair and formality to the script—but then again, embellishments become necessary when the characters are basically saying "I have the power to defeat you!" "No, I have a hidden power that I shall use to defeat you! And here's how it works!" to each other over and over. Meanwhile, the use of original Japanese names for certain attacks (with footnotes in the margins) is a cumbersome technique and would be better replaced by simply using the translated names. Sound effects are edited in a somewhat awkward manner, and readers may find themselves distracted by the big, blocky English letters splayed across various panels to indicate yet another big noise as combatants clash with each other.

With our heroes now well past the no-name grunts at the gates of Hueco Mundo, but still ways off from directly facing the ultimate villain and his generals, this volume of Bleach provides an enjoyable (if not terribly deep) round of mid-level combat. The arrival of Soul Society's captains, and their unique modes of attack, add a much-needed spark of variety—and from a story perspective, they help to keep Ichigo and friends from completely burning out in battle. The overall arc itself still stays on a strictly linear path, though, with the only real development being a cleaning up of all the muddled subplots and multiple battlegrounds at the start of this volume. So stay and enjoy the fights, but don't expect any major plot twists to suddenly pop up—unless you count the surprising ways in which the heroes defeat their foes. Predictable as the triumph of good over evil may be, there's still an element of ingenuity when one does it without ever wielding a sword.
