#ch 71

Where the fuck did those come from??

It sure is cool to see, though! Even if inconvenient for the gang.

YEEESSSS ORIHIME!! Wait, hold on, I detect a future explosion--

I dunno, but thank goodness this isn't Final Destination 5 or else Ichigo would have a whole other problem right now. Of course Chad pulled off a superhero landing--and Uryuu?? With his butt up in the air?? Get a load of that sploot from Yoruichi, though!!

I'm probably gonna be focusing a lot more on the funny before I get to the fight.

Of course he brought a spare cape.

Have you ever been in such disbelief that you devolved into abstract shapes and lines?

APPLY CAT DIRECTLY TO FACE--

Oh, shit. Yeah, that's actually a good point. Still, she did save them, so...

Y'ALL!!! It's finally time! I have been so fucking excited for this!

I have been making memes. I have been thinking of jokes. I have an entire custom gif ready to go! I am most likely going to become insufferable and show my favorite character bias pretty soon, so apologies in adv--you know what, no, I'm not sorry! Share in my unbridled joy!

If you and your squad aren't sharing one overly long scarf and posing like a band about to drop the hottest single of the summer, then do you really have a squad? (This reminds me, I need to take another crack at the summer scarf I wanted to try to crochet.)

"Go get my sword! I have to finish my snack!" (I hope Rikichi's more competent at fetching zanpakuto than he is at fetching butterflies.)

Oh. I was wrong. There aren't just remains scattered across the floor. It's more that the entire floor is bones.

Why am I suddenly getting flashbacks to the bottom of Kakariko Well? If pale, bloodied claw-hands start popping out of the ground, I'm calling it quits here.

Oh thank god, it's just paralyzing, semi-intelligent purple smog. I'll take that over the Dead Hand any day.

Quick thinking from Chad! And of course Uryuu is easily shoulder-carried like a sack of potatoes. Have I mentioned how much I love when characters who try to carry themselves as serious and dignified get humbled with slapstick gags?

Of all the SJ chapters I've read so far this year, Ichi the Witch 71 is my favorite.

Spoilers below the cut.
