As Nodt's design was amazing, but his backstory just didn't stand out to me. Same with the Lloyds and the Super Nazi. Kubo always rocks when it comes to character designs...but so far I don't really feel sympathetic towards most of the Sternritter. Compare As Nodt and the twins' pre-death backstories with Ulquiorra and Grimmjow's times as Menos...it just seems so rushed in comparison. There's always the chance some of them will be treated like Ulquiorra, and get a special backstory in the databook...but I'm not really optimistic. It just doesn't seem to me that Kubo cares as much about these guys as the Espada. Though like you said, if the time is limited, that might be the issue right there. I just hope he's not sacrificing ideas to wrap the story up. When the plot moved to Hueco Mundo near the beginning of the arc, I was hoping to see a few Espada return to the story. But other than Grimmjow, who Kubo is hiding for some reason, we didn't see any of them. And now, after Kisuke has shown up with that stupidly convenient Hollow pill...I'm honestly terrified that Kubo decided to sacrifice a big Arrancar entrance for something quicker, then throw Arrancar fans a bone with a bunch of random ones for the zombie fight. I hope I'm wrong though, and he does have a plan in mind. Ychwach's backstory was one of the best Bleach chapters I've read in a long time...so I don't think Kubo's quite lost it yet. It just seems so hit or miss lately. |
That describes it perfectly.
Juhabach's backstory? you mean the baby who needs power thing?
