Bleach 438 – Knuckle Down
Bleach 438 entitle Knuckle Down is out. Thanks to Mangastream and Binktopia for the release. The story is really picking up now. The fact that Ichigo heard Rukia’s voice being transmitted through the badge is very interesting. And Ginjou’s creepy expression after Ichigo heard her voice was quite sinister looking.

Hmmm… Inoue's sudden aura-change to what could probably be battle mode was interesting. The sneeze condition for the Dollhouse Fullbring was senseless.
I found it quite a boring chapter though.
Decent enough chapter.
Looks like there's some sort of conflict finally showing. Rukia was mentioned, so it looks like Saiyan's suicide will be postponed.
Urie was right about Shishi being from the same school as the guys Ichigo and Ishida beat up.
nothing happened again
Now this mention about Rukia got me confused, although I'm sure more will be revealed soon. Who is Saiyan?
Kubo could have done so much more with this. This chapter was boring and wasted too much time with pointless things. Ok, Orihime is beautiful. We get it. Sneezing on your Dollhouse to deactivate? Meh. Can we just please move on? >.>
I want to know more about Ichigo's shinigami badge being able to listen in on Soul Society. That part was super intriguing.
19 pages of nothing it takes 10 chapters to get anywhere with bleach. 2 out of 19 pages had useful information.
I'm willing to bet Tsukishima got that scar on his face/eye from Ginjou.
I dont find the mohawk guy very endearing at the moment. Hope he gets killed off.
Orihime changed her attitude and became tough. She had character development huzzah.
I wouldn't consider Orihime "beautiful". I would say she is just a very pretty girl though. It's a shame that all I could comment on is Orihime's features.
I think Tsukishima is the biggest bishie in Bleach. Well, Ishida and TZ give him competition…
I do agree this chapter was a huge waste of potential.
Im going to have to go with the general concensus. This chapter was even slower than usual.
The only thing I found of interest was that the badge can be used as a listening device. The sneeze condition was disgusting and utterly pointless. The rest of the chapter was a whole lot of nothing.
Really hope Ryuken intervenes and sends Team Bookman flying off (again).
It'd be an interesting twist if Bookman was actually the shinigami Ginjou was talking about before. But now he sucks and is just comic relief.
It appears that SS suspect Ichigo of doing something, and Rukia is trying to defend him. This tells me that Fullbringers are at odds with SS.

A yawn of a chapter.
Yes Orihime is gorgeous
Damn that suspenders dude-Tsukishima.
Next chapter will be an interesting one,hopefully.
I think the only thing that interested me at all this chapter was Ginjou's stare. He just keeps getting more and more suspicious.
And yeah, it was nice to see Orihime is now able to be tough.
Oh yeah, more yu yu hakusho comparisons.
With that scar on his face Tsukishima looks like Sakyo. And he seems pretty evil.
What a coincidence.
wow what a development for Orihime, she made evul eyebrows thus changing her aura… uuu
Ahhh! Here's the Bleach I know and love! For a moment there, I was actually expecting more plot development.
Thank you Kubo for reverting back to your ways of the old with your super slow writing and chapters filled with nothingness.
so is mohawk a fullbringer or not? i don't think he is, and that…new bishie guy, is just manipulating the gang that ichigo and ishida beat up. maybe he put ishida in the hospital to gain their trust.
though i do wonder what ichigo has been accused of. trying to break aizen out of jail?
the first part of the chapter was kinda meh, but i liked the rest of it.
Chapter in a nutshell.
* Ichigo's Badge is a eavesdropping device to SS
* Bookman's lackey got mysteriously hit by an invisible person
* Orihime might actually fight someone.
3 panels out of 20 pages. Very disappointed Kubo. Very.
You know the part where the guy who attacked Ishida, I thought that was around page 9 or 10…perhaps 12 but then it showed the little picture when a chapter ends . Kubo….my dude, buddy, pal…come on show wasting trees! First chopsticks now Bleach? Maybe Bleach IS a environmental hazard after all
I really have no need for a bunch of new bad guys with so much randomness in them. Bring back some mindf**king plot twist or something related to viazards and isshin until ichigo gets his roflpowerup.
Still betting the final villain will be the guy Isshin used FGT against. So bring him out kubo and dont waste my time with this random fail characters.
got to agree, slower than normal made it a not a bad chapter just boring. The only parts that got me going was what was going on in SS. What is Ichigo being accused of doing? I think it's more than him gaining powers. I get the vibe ichigo is being framed for something like he attacked or killed someone good.
I would like to know if isshin has shown back up at home. Bookman has a book full of targets?
The scar on tsukishima remind me of orihime brother. In the chapter 3 or 4, orihime brother have a cut in the middle.
