Ichigo and Renji meet lots of Zanpakuto

Without them even knowing. They meet the original maker of zanpakuto, cool etc. Too bad this whole consept of some "higher" force than Soul Society feels a bit forced. Well, I believe Bleach is still selling pretty well so why kill a good moneymaker?

There have been only couple of good Bleach chapters in couple of years and you can surely guess which ones those are. I'm leaving a small hint. These chapters were honestly well done from entertaining point of view: they had good build up, not too much hype and they simply delivered.
