Something goes wrong with Ichigo's Fullbring, and at the same time Xcution gets an unwelcome visitor. Sharp swords are good door-openers, especially if you don't want to keep the door. Summary: Ichigo's Fullbring goes berserk and engulfs his arm in black energy. Jackie states that training is over and calls for Riruka to let them out, but Ichigo attacks Jackie and insists he can continue. Meanwhile, Chad is asking Ginjou about Tsukishima's Fullbring and its ability to alter people's memories, but Ginjou states that Tsukishima's Fullbring is just a very sharp sword and nothing more. Instead, Ginjou states that if Orihime feels that memories were manipulated, then maybe the person who attacked her wasn't the real Tsukishima. On cue, Tsukishima slices open the door of the apartment and walks in. Chad, Ginjou and the others present appear to be too scared to do anything, and thus Tsukishima walks right in and slices open the fish tank holding Ichigo, and Ichigo reappears wearing what looks like his shinigami robes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A chapter with some meaningful development. Finally we see Ichigo back in that familiar getup, Chad and Ginjou have a somewhat interesting discussion, and then Tsukishima crashing the party. I thought Ichigo was just going to get a much-needed upgrade to his weak-sauce spinner attack, but this is potentially much better. The training sessions so far haven't exactly been awe-inspiring... or even good for that matter, so maybe Kubo finally decided to scratch all that and skip to the inevitable conclusion. At this point though, I'm not sure the shinigami robes is just a tease, but given Ichigo's penchant for random power-ups maybe the robes are back for good. It's too early to judge if Ichigo getting back his robes is a good or bad development; that'll depend on what happens in the next few chapters and let's hope Bleach doesn't screw it up. Regarding Ginjou and Chad's talk, I still think Ginjou is lying or at least hiding something, although his theory about another person pretending to be Tsukishima and attacking people was kind of interesting. Tsukishima did show up and refute the theory, but is he the real Tsukishima... lol, maybe this is not really worth thinking about. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time
