BLEACH hasn't
been faring very well in the JUMP Table of Contents for a while now, and its volume sales, while still respectable, are slipping as well. And yet it seems like, as a series, it's simply rolled into so much
moss that the editors have let it continue rolling down the hill on
the condition that this is the “last arc.” Oh, they've attempted some life support. There was a stretch where BLEACH got color pages every other week, but by now
they've probably realized that first aid spells, far from helping,
only succeeding in doing bonus damage to the undead. Here are all the
color pages since the beginning of the Quincy blitzkireg, complete
with my snarky ass captions.

BLEACH was a manga all about holy wars up until now, but you didn't figure that out because it was a fourteenth level secret (it was scrawled in microwriting on Rangiku's nipples in every panel, including ones without her in them. It read "WHY ME cruSADe").
