Ichigo continues his training in Riruka's dollhouse against the stuffed animal. Riruka: We do read Bleach, Ichigo, and so we know that you don't need any sort of needless "instructions" to get a power-up. Summary: Ichigo tries to stay away from attacking giant stuffed animal Mr. Pork (which is infused with the spirit of a random yakuza guy that Riruka kidnapped) while demanding some answers/advice from Riruka, but Riruka is far from helpful and only tells Ichigo to use his Fullbring by concentrating on an object that he "loves". Riruka then closes the dollhouse and goes to have snack, leaving Ichigo to survive on his own. Soon after, Chad returns from a shopping errand, and after learning of Riruka's completely unreasonable training methods Chad opens the dollhouse and tells Ichigo to try to use his representative shinigami badge. Unfortunately for Ichigo, the advice comes a little late as the training has gone on more for 15 minutes, and thus a timer is activated within Mr. Pork and Mr. Pork is transformed into a larger and more menacing form. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Things certainly didn't get any better this chapter. Nobody except Chad seems to have an idea of what they are supposed to be doing for this training session, and this goes especially for Riruka. She was completely unhelpful to Ichigo and was making fun of him when he desperately needed some instructions. I thought Riruka liked Ichigo, but I suppose she is the tsundere type. Riruka (and the rest of Xcution for that matter) probably just chucked Ichigo in there and hoped Ichigo would spontaneously manifest a Fullbring. Doesn't make much sense from a story point of view, but perhaps Xcution is so familiar with Ichigo's background that they know he'll get random power-ups just because he's Ichigo. And thus we'll see a out-of-the-blue power-up next week which will hopefully will put an end to this training session. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time
