, in the manga. Everytime i reread the Arrancer saga, I feel Fake Karakura Town is the weakest section of the saga for me.
Cuz there r so many repetitive fights in fake Karakura town. Alot of these fights don't really add anything narratively. Also, this is the nadir of fake out deaths in the series cuz there is a lot of characters in this section that should've died for real
Also, it's hard to top the narrative high of the Ulquiorra dome fight. I feel for me, the Ulquiorra dome fight is the high point of the Arrancar Saga.
At least with fake Karakura town, I can kinda understand the meme and criticism of "fell off after soul society" cuz it's must have a unfun experience to read it back when it coming out week to week. And it's must be more painful in the og anime cuz of padding
Thoughts? Does anyone else feel the same way.
