Iba of all f****** people is a captain, I can't believe this. They must have been desperate to fill in spots lmao.
Honestly in all this seems good... but what about Aizen tough? He is still free? Or maybe even forgiven for his actions as he helped defeat Ywach.
Hope the endings explain better and gives more details. I always tough the series would end with Ichigo pulling a final sacrifice and killing Ywach with himself in a last heroic action...
I wasn't expecting such a sudden timeskip, tho I'm glad that Rukia has replaced Ukitake as a captain. I don't think Iba or Isane deserved their promotion however since neither of them have done much in the series. ^^;
New girl captain: Isane
Yachiru is a zanpaktou spirit, so she just became one with Nozarashi.
Well, he was Komamura's Vice-Captain. And Lisa was also a former VC. So it makes sense that Iba, Lisa, Isane and Rukia are promoted to Captains. If Kensei and Rose hadn't survived, Hisagi and Kira would be Captains.
(The X-Cution members, Grimmjow and Neliel).
Though it's kinda weird Love wasn't reinstated as a Captain too.

Hopefully. There's, who, Ukitake, Shinji, Aizen (if he ever had one), Hisagi, Love... Iba? Aaaand maybe a few others I've forgotten.
Or he never had an idea for them in the first place even. Who knows.
One of my main grievances with this final arc is how a lot of the fights end up not meaning anything. Fights like Toshiro vs Bazz where Toshiro trained without his Bankai to become stronger but in the end, he doesn't defeat Bazz. Or Komamura vs Bambietta where Komamura literally sacrificed himself but still didn't finish her.
And the worst part is, none of those battles meant anything seeing as all the enemies would have died because of Awschwalen.
Isshin.
My main grievance is that.. Fights like Shunsui vs. Ican'tdieowlturkey and Mayuri vs. Pernida took way too long. I can only imagine that Kubo got the notice that he was getting cancelled at some point after he penned those fights, because if I were him I'd have cut a few chapters from those fights in order to not have such a rushed anticlimax against Yhwach.
Stuff that was set-up just amounted to one or two frames. Isshin and Uryuu's dad showing up, just to give an arrowhead mere seconds after Haschwalt just kicks the bucket. It seriously annoyed me that apparently those fights I mentioned took too much time so Kubo just had to kill off Gerard and Haschwalt since he didn't have the panelspace to give their fights a real conclusion. Yhwach didn't even use their powers, so it just reeks like he ran out of panelspace.
Kubo, the way you went with your manga may have not been the correct one a lot of times, but Iam satisfied in some way. However:
Why did you copy-pasted the Naruto ending, you glorious sob?
