Bleach 298 (spoilers)

Dear Bleach fandom,

It's me again. I just wanted to remind you that awesome things are happening right now in the manga, and you shouldn't stupid them up. Please bear this fact in mind before you open your mouth and your browser window:

Writers often have plots for things. As a result, this means that events do not happen at random when they write. If Kenpachi arrives in chapter 297, an event no one predicted, and in chapter 298, the rest of the captains arrive, please do not announce "This is so predictable." Of course it's predictable. It's the next logical step in the plot. Maybe Kenpachi could've made every Hollow in Hueco Mundo explode into confetti, but that is not logical and does not contribute to plot.

This makes it sound like the only way KT could've been "unpredictable" was by squeezing Kenpachi's arrival, the defeat of all three currently active Espada, and the saving of every dying member of the cast -- into a single chapter. That chapter would've been unpredictable, it's true. It also would've been cheap and anticlimactic. Suck it up.

Also, please don't announce "This is so predictable but I don't care." You obviously care enough about what people think to want to seem too cool to diss something for not tricking you, you clever fiend. What??

Thanks for allowing me my peace of mind,
Kay

P.S. Fuck yes.
