Finally Bleach 479 manga released! After a long wait due to the Christmas Holidays, Bleach 479 is here and translated. Titled “Goodbye to Our Xcution” is probably the start of another amazing arc which could explain about the past of Ichigo and his family.

We start of with Captain Ukitake in his house while a report comes in. “Kurosaki Ichigo is in good health. He was victorious against Ginjo Kugo in the Material World!”, this repeated once more so Ukitake could hear it properly. Ukitake replies with “What a relief” as if he knew Ichigo was going to win.

As Ichigo calmly returns to Soul Society, he sees Renji. Renji furiously asks why Ichigo is there all of a sudden. We quickly move where all the captains are being told that Ichigo is currently present within Soul Society. All being surprised that he’s there.

As Ichigo reaches the place where Captain Yamamoto is located, he sees that all other Captains are currently present there waiting for him. “Wow. Everyone came out to greet me, Huh?”, they all seem a little angry and surprised that Ichigo is there.

As a fantastic return, Kensei, returns to the Soul Society as a Captain. Kensei was part of the Vizards (Visored). Ichigo asks “You became a captain?” Kensei replies to “Shut Up. I said come in! You didn’t come here to chat, did you?”. Yamamoto comes by and compliments Ichigo for his hard work.

Ichigo quickly gets to the point and says “I came to take back the corpse of Ginjo that Renji brought here, and bury it in the Material World.” All the Captains are shocked at what Ichigo has said. At this point, someone really special comes by, Shinji Hirako comes wearing a full captain garment. He could be now be a Captain just like Kensei.

“That guy was fucking around with your family. You can forgive someone like that?”. Ichigo quickly replying with “This isn’t a matter of forgiveness. My family and friends are back to normal. I’m Alive. And he is a mere Shinigami Representative.” Says Ichigo.

This part of the chapter ends here. Ichigo very serious about his request and Captain Yamamoto acting as if his understanding. Sadly Bleach 480 will be releasing in three weeks time, on the 8th February. Fortunately, this chapter has hyped the story up a lot. Since I love the Vizard characters, there come back is an absolute treat, Tite Kubo has listened to out praise.
