Looks like Manga Stream just released this week’s Bleach in addition to Naruto earlier this afternoon. Both of them are basically just fleshing out the cliffhangers from last week.
I wasn’t particularly impressed by Bleach. Gin’s bankai seems a bit…lacking…if all it does is increase his sword’s length. I suspect he has a few other tricks up his sleeves though; perhaps his sword can bend like a snake or something. Then again, maybe Kubo is just trying to push him to use his hollow powers. Also, did Gin actually open one of his eyes? That brings up the count to three(?) throughout the entire manga.
It looks like Aizen is starting to feel the heat now too, finally.
As for Naruto… There’s a few developments that I’m interested in. The first one is seeing how Naruto will develop now that he has full use of the Kyuubi’s chakra. He should be able to handle it now after all the things that have happened (fights with Orochimaru and Pain, etc.), but we’ll see. Secondly, what is Kabuto up to? If I had to guess, he’s trying to experiment with another forbidden jutsu. Right now he’s easily the biggest threat in the manga in my opinion, since Sasuke is still recovering and Madara is fleshing out his plan. Thirdly, what did Kabuto summon that had Madara so alarmed? My prediction: Madara’s brother looking for revenge. I can’t really think of much else that would seriously surprise him at this point.
On a related note, the Bleach anime wrapped up its Sword Fiend arc with the last episode. As I expected, it didn’t live up to the standards set by the preceding Muramasa arc. It just felt too much like a set of monster-of-the-day episodes without much of an overarching storyline. Meh.
