Renji and Jackie was cute. A shame she had to die, because I actually could have seen her turning good and would not have minded that.

 

I liked Yukio at first, but he just got really annoying. His powers and design are still cool though. I'm curious if killing him off will dissolve the chatrooms.

It should since he should be the one holding the power in place.

 

So, thoughts on the chapter: lets give these characters no one cares about a little character development and then kill them, cause the makes sense.

Yea, being able to time travel with "Book of the End" makes sense. Seriously, where did that power come from? Everything up until now points to it being a power that controls memory, so him suddenly being able to say "by cutting the building I was in the buildings past and in that past I put a trap on the roof" just seems like an ass pull.

 

Still, the moment with Ikkaku did make up for it a little though.

It's still "memory" manipulation, in that he's altering something's perception of the past. The fact that the "something" isn't organic is, as pointed out on the chapter, irrelevant.

But then how does that let him put traps in buildings and know how Byakuya's attack work. He can't simply put himself into the object memory to create a trap or learn about an attack. I mean to put a trap in the building would mean he was actually there in the past. And the way it's worded, it sounds like he's seen Byakuya's attacks first hand, and that doesn't work with simple memory manipulation.

I'll give you the attack part, that doesn't make much sense to me either. But the trap-setting works just like we've seen Book of the End so far.

 

Tsukishima didn't actually raise Orihime, but he made her think he did. In the same manner, Tsukishima hadn't really set a trap, but he made the floor think that he had.

What's weird is that Tsukishima insists that it's not memory manipulation, Ginjo also says that Tsukishima has psychologically traumatized people by pushing them too far, so I think what happens is that Tsukishima simply puts himself in the existence of something, and he just doesn't care about the precise details. He focused on important factors such as altering history so that he helped defeat Aizen, but that makes no sense at all.

 

If Tsukishima set a trap in the floor, then how come it actually activated? Honestly, Tsukishima's powers makes no sense, and Kubo probably just came up with this to retcon its abilities because he realized that even Tsukishima didn't have much of a chance against Byakuya.

I'll just quote TV Tropes for the explanation of the weapon.

 

"The details are not fully explained, but according to Tsukishima himself this is different from altering the timeline or implanting false memories; changes can only be applied to one target at a time, and while the changes will affect Tsukishima as well, they don't cause sweeping rewrites to the world at large. As a catch, also, if the person given these false memories starts to be defused, he can re-brainwash them and cause them physical pain as he does so. Not only that, but he can also take control of inanimate objects and Zanpakuto.
