Chapter 55

Ichigo Kurosaki, the protagonist who seems like a hothead but is actually loyal and righteous; Renji Abarai, who didn't protect his most cherished childhood sweetheart well and calls himself a "stray dog"; Byakuya Kuchiki, who is cold on the outside but hides concern for his sister on the inside...

These characters, each with distinct personalities and three-dimensional images, were what supported this hit show that was popular nationwide.

However, this week was different.

The audience and fans only had one topic of discussion—

Sosuke Aizen!

At this time, it was approaching the start of the school year, and many college students had already returned to campus.

Unlike middle and high school students who are forced to wear school uniforms, most universities allow students to dress freely.

As a result, one could see... half of the people in the university town wearing Shinigami robes.

Among them, the captain's haori with the number 【5】 printed on the back was the most common.

The two latest episodes pushed Aizen's popularity to the extreme.

So much so that the 5th Division Captain's haori and the Zanpakuto Kyoka Suigetsu in Xu Feng's store were sold out.

And Aizen's influence didn't stop there; in all sorts of places, people were imitating Aizen's classic quotes.

It was mainly because Aizen's lines were too pretentious!

Just saying them gave off a strong air of pretentiousness.

Especially middle, high, and college students who were in the "chuunibyou" phase, especially boys, were all competing to imitate him.

For example...

On the campus basketball court.

"Old Zhang, playing ball? Let me show you how powerful Daddy is!"

Several boys shouted to a classmate passing by.

"Watch your words. Stepping over an ant without crushing it to death—that level of force is very difficult to control."

Hearing this student named Zhang naturally say Aizen's line, the surrounding students were in an uproar, joking around.

However, another student holding a basketball on the opposite side immediately retorted:

"I advise you not to be too arrogant when you speak; don't just reveal your weakness."

Once these words were spoken, various sounds like "Holy crap" rang out from the sidelines.

This male student holding the basketball suddenly felt every pore in his body was satisfied.

At the same time, in the teacher's office.

"Why didn't you do your summer homework?"

The head teacher asked with a dark face, questioning the student in front of him who had a slicked-back hairstyle with a lock of bangs left in front of his brow.

"Oh? You've already discovered that I didn't do my summer homework? You've grown, I'm very happy."

Then, he received a disciplinary warning.
