I don't think anyone would disagree :p

Kubo doesn't draw the anime? Wow, I thought he does ._.
Some of the fillers aren't that bad, imo.


I disagree. :3

XD So does my sister.
I'm no expert at how anime is created though I enjoy making myself sound like it, considering the amount of frames he would have to draw for an entire, 20+ minute show, on top of the manga itself (and mangaka HAVE to have at least a few chapters that they haven't published yet, for when they can't write/draw).

That, and I know from DBZ's anime, Toriyama himself could not tell which Goku he drew, and which was drawn by one of the main animators (does that make sense?).

Wow. I thought Kubo had to draw the anime too. .___.

Yes, that does make sense. Well, I guess it's pretty easy to copy a person's drawings, despite the vast difference in the way different mangaka draw. Animators must be something.

Do you guys know the basic anime production process? I'll write a quick paragraph or two for those of you who aren't too sure about it.

Spoiler:
Pre Production
>The storyboard is created either by the director or a person specifically hired to create it. For a series like Bleach it would involve interpreting and Kubo's manga chapters into episode long pieces to the best of their ability.
>Script is written by a script writer, again using the manga as a guideline.

Character Design
>Ok, they have the basics from the manga but that's not enough for the animation team in the next step. The job of the character designer is to draw the characters from multiple angles, in different poses, wearing different things and with different facial expressions. The reason for this is so the animators don't have lots of reference material and they all keep uniform.

Imagine a team whole team of people all drawing their own version of Ichigo and just having to hope it all fits together later on?

Video/animation production
>Using the storyboard the head animator will draw up the key frames, a key frame usually sits at the beginning and end of a big movement (sword swinging down or a punch being thrown ect). These all used to be done by hand but computers are the norm now.
>After the key frames have been done the in-between frames are drawn by a team of multiple animators. Although these are important they are less dificult to do as there isn't a lot of thinking involved, just drawing loads of frames slightly different from the last one. This process can be shortened by computer software but some teams still prefer to do it by hand (well, if drawing on a pc is classed as by hand anyway).
>When all of the frames are done they're sent to a stylist.. This person or people do the colouring and shadowing for the show.
>after it's coloured the SFX team take over, they draw in new new things and add computer effects. With Bleach this would be stuff like sparks from blades crashing, the spiritual pressure, dust and in the latest arc the Reigai have the eyes glowing.
>finally they go to the editor who puts it all together with the help of the director, here they change the pacing and make sure the flow of the show is going well.

Some long running anime have lots of different animation teams who have their own styles and traits. There's a well known team in One Piece that sacrifice detail but give a much more flowing animation quality. It's all about balancing their time as they are against the clock after all.

Sound
>Unlike American animation the mouths are animated before the seiyuu even see it, basically they say the words whilst the mouth is moving and pause while it stops.
>Sound director then adds music and sound effects to set the tone of the series.

Other
Just realised, for the filler arcs the director will either write or hire a person to write a new scenario which will later be turned onto a storyboard.



Ok, i rambled a bit there, hope it helped though.

I get the feeling that kageroza has an army of Reigai captains. That's what I would do.


If the captain commander would ever need to be replaced, I think Unohana is the most capable.

Ahh. Now I feel urged to go watch it right now. XD
...There IS? Wherewherewhere?

Spoiler:
I think he does. Well, at least the only ones that we haven't seen a Reigai are Unohana and Yamamoto. All the others have been replaced. The only good thing is, he can't have made an Aizen reigai, or they all would have died by now.


Her, or Shunsui, or Ukitake, I think. Those are the 3 senior Captains. Or maybe a Captain from Squad 0 will take over.

I've seen pictures of him before and heard of him in the Bount arc, but I've never seen him in a flashback.

Is anyone else interested in him, like I am? (By interested, I mean curious)

I don't remember seeing that guy either. I'm curious about all the previous Kenpachi captains in general. And it appears Kiganjō was taken down by Zaraki in a single blow.

Weeaboo Name June 1st, 2011 9:13 AM

Latest chapter.

Spoiler:


Was this a k-on crossover?

anyway, nice to hear a little more about Orihime (unless i missed the part about her parents before.) She really has been powered up over the last couple of chapters.]

Blind Ichigo...yeah, he always powers up on a knife edge so it was to be expected.

I think Ginjou will end end up being a good guy pretending to be a bad guy pretending to be a good guy.

I like Pokemon (...) June 1st, 2011 12:05 PM

Manga is out at mangareader.net
Spoiler:
More battle analysis!

Aha, Yukio only gives the chairs when Orihime wants out XD.

Aha, silly Orihime.

Looks like Riruka simply doesn't know how to handle info like that. She probably would feel too awkward trying to sympathise with her, so she acts like that instead.

Woah, slashed his eyes. I wonder how much he can see, now?

The only time Kiganjou has been shown is in the Unmasked character books. He's been mentioned a few times before (Ichinose, from the Bount Filler, referenced him, and he was referenced in the TBtP arc - I think by Shunsui - when he didn't show up to the Captains meeting; he was called lazy, or something along those lines).

But besides that, nothing, really.

Well, I didn't know what you meant by "old". XD Turn Back the Pendulum Arc was mainly focused on the Vizards, but they were the Captains back then. As for even older Captains, like Hikifune, and the previous Kenpachi, maybe or maybe not Kubo will disclose it in the future.

lol, I love the expression on Orihime when she saw the donut. SO FREAKING CUTE X3

So now we know how Orihime manages to get to school without having to work to pay for the tuition fee. lol.

Riruka did bring the dunots for Orihime, eh? But just too socially awkward to say "I brought you some donuts. " XD

Woah, the title only came on page 14. And why did they have empty dialog boxes on page 18? censored?


Oh, anime :P
Spoiler:
@Rasencero Damn right my head just exploded XD Double Unohana, w00t. 8D *hopes we get to see them fight each other* Itl'll be hard, because Unohana never fought in the manga, but I'll just have to keep my hopes up. XD At the very least, someone will fight her. I just hope the Reigai Unohana won't just suddenly be gone when Inaba is defeated.

Though, next episode would probably show Hitsugaya vs Reigai Byakuya fight first. And... when Yamamoto analyzed his own fight with Shunsui and Ukitake, something crossed my mind. Shunsui and Ukitake did not pass through the Senkaimon, did they? So how did Inaba managed to clone them? o.o What if he also had a clone Yamamoto in store?

Also, the shinigami's cup is PURE WIN. XDDDD I lol'd when Unohana turned into a smiley expression, with the background lighting up like that. XD

Merciless Cremator June 2nd, 2011 1:43 PM

Spoiler:

Anime
I don't like Nazomi, I mean now she finally decides to let them protect her, after how many times has she been nearly captured?!

The fights this arc are nice, loved the Matsumoto and Rukia battles. The Yamamoto fight makes me happy as well, Kenpachi's fight, I expected to be more destructive. :\ The fight was still nice, regardless, making him fight using Kendo and having a heart warming moment right after the fight.

Manga

Did Ichigo get slashed in the eyes? >.> This Fullbringer arc has its ups and downs with me, I loved the Rinka and Orihime interaction, but fine Ginjro (Whatever his name is) well...annoying. The other character I could live with is the evil murderous bishie that wants to injure and kidnap main characters.

Orihime and Chad better have awesome fight scenes from now on and shouldn't lose to anyone other than the big bad, for the rest of this arc, along with uyru, Kubo owns them screen time.




Did I miss anything?

RASENCERO June 3rd, 2011 12:05 PM

I kinda already knew how stuff like this was made. But for tv series an cartoons. Makes sense that its the same for anime.

RurikaxIchigoxInoue. In that order. If you change that order Rurika will fight with Inoue and afterwards will make her feel guilty.
She totally brought those donuts for Inoue. I have the feeling that Riruka become more polite and such just for Ichigo and be better than Inoue. Lol at Yukio. XD
Ginjou so has alterior motives. Ichigo doesn't trust him... Hmmmm... could it be more obvious?
Plot twist were Ginjou and Tsukishima work together/Tsukshima is good/ Ginjou betrays people/both are evil....
Or neither. Still, something is up.


Character development chps. has been nice. Time for some action/plot development. This training has been going on long enough. Need timeskip or Deus Ex!

Indeed, the only difference is the voice recording comes first in US cartoons. This is because they animate the mouth differently, Japan take budget and time saving measures there and use flaps.

BTW I like the filler arc so far but
Spoiler:
I didn't notice that Ukitake and Kyoraku didn't go through the senkaimon. That's interesting...

Spoiler:
By mentioning them, I'm hoping that he'll go more in depth about them. Otherwise, it's quite... annoying, learning a tiny bit about a character, and nothing else.

Which I think is better in general, because it allows for easier dubbing (you just have to make the syllables fit the mouth flaps, which is easier than with mouth flaps like "O". Does that even make sense?).

Why thank you, but I don't mind my Unohana-ness. Even if my head explodes infinite times.

I think they didn't. I could be mistaken. Do you happen to know, Rasen? Since ILPy still haven't watched the whole filler, I believe, or else I'd have asked him

My mistake, Shinji did.

Cross your finger and hope to fall into a well of chocolate sauce chip cookies... I mean, knowing Kubo, he'll probably have forgotten them already. XD

o.o Even I didn't remember things like that. XD

Since activity is slow, allow me to steal post another topic:
Against the 10 Espada, how would you fare?
Don't open if you're not up-to-date with the current manga:
Spoiler:
0. Yammy
Blergh. He may be huge, but he got defeated very easily by Byakuya and Kenpachi. He didn't even get a fight scene, but I would have to rant about that some other time. idk if his Hierro is thick enough to withstand the onslaught of Kido moves. If no, then I'll win. If yes, I'll simply have to find his weak spots or whatever. All in all, I think I would win.

1. Coyote Starrk
Starrk... is a fast guy. I could probably withstand his Cero gun. His wolves, though, are a lot harder to defeat. I could probably force a draw, or maybe win, if I use my Ace/King card, but otherwise he'll be very hard to fend off.

2. Barragan Luisenbarn
This guy... is weird. o.o idk if his abilities can make elemental stuff rot, like... Fire, Wind or Water. XD I might lose if I happen to get the Earth cards, other than that, if his powers cannot affect Kido, then I might win. Provided I don't get caught within Respira.

3. Tia Halibel
My fight against her would be very much based on luck. If I get Fire cards... I'm screwed. Water cards and we'll have a water party! wouldn't give me any specific advantage. Wind Cards would give me something, if I can activate the Mind element and have a Lightning-based attack. Earth Cards wouldn't do much, since she can blast rocks away with Cascada. I could win, but as with Starrk, it'll be hard.

4. Ryuu Ulquiorra Schiffer
ILPy is so going to slaughter me if I ever so much land a finger on him XP At any rate, the only way I might stand a chance against him would be by using my strongest cards. Even then, Ulqiorra is freaking fast o.o I don't think I could even froce a draw. Plus, he has that second resurreccion.

5. Nnoitra Jiruga
This guy is pretty much the same as Kenpachi. Again, hard to win. Might force a draw. Nothing much to be said.

6. Grimmjoww Jeagerjacques (sp?)
catnips! Pretty similar to Ulquiorra, maybe less strength. Hard to win, could draw.

7. Zommari Leroux
Ah. This one is easier. His Gemelos Sonido could cause quite a problem, but I'd try to hold that off and force him to release. Once he releases, then he's a dead meat. His immobility makes it even easier for me to set traps or whatever around him.

8. Szayel Granz
A mad scientist >.< He could disable my bankai, but then my shikai is not really different from my bankai. So long as I stay out of his reach (Carbon Copy, or Voodoo Doll), I should be fine. I guess I could set a trap and run away somewhere else, but he'd notice the trap. lol.At any rate, I could probably win, or at least draw. Lose if he got me in a doll first. o.o

9. Aaroniero Aruruarrghhoweveryouspellhisname
....... I believe I don't need to explain? XD If Rukia could beat him, then anyone could. :P

Zameric June 5th, 2011 8:46 PM

Anime 324
Spoiler:
Pretty good episode overall, I think. The Yamamoto vs. Reigai fight seemed like what we didn't get to see back in the Rescue arc. The Kenny vs. Reigai Kenpachi fight was awesome. Though, the fight was shorter than I thought it would be. I guess the anime team must have some time constraints. But I'm really looking forward to the Unohana vs. Reigai Unohana fight. I think it would be the scariest cougar fight ever. The omake gives a taste at just how scary. XD

Was this a k-on crossover?

anyway, nice to hear a little more about Orihime (unless i missed the part about her parents before.) She really has been powered up over the last couple of chapters.

Spoiler:
That was my favorite part of the chapter.
If only Ulquiorra had thought of using Crispy Creme.

I don't think so either. However, if we should believe what Kageroza said last ep. then
Spoiler:
they shouldn't have had to. The Senkaimon was only a means to an end. To make the Reigai he only needs some Reiatsu. It doesn't matter how he got it. Like how he made one of Unohana. He said this after Reigai Unohana appeared, so I suppose you don't remember this since your head exploded.
Hence the fail-save. Next time you can keep watching without exploding. XD

Tnx :D *puts in mattress*

Idk, but I didn't.

Against the 10 Espada, how would you fare?
Spoiler:
0. Yammy Riyalgo
He is rather huge, but as long as I keep my distance I should be ok. And since most of my abilities are ranged attacks that shouldn't be a problem.

1. Coyote Stark and Lilinette Gingerback
Yeah...no. He has similar powers, but has numbers over me with his/their wolves.

2. Baraggan Ruizenbann
If I hit him with a few powerful lightning bolt with a similar power as Soifon's Jakuhō Raikōben it should be over. It would drain app. 90% of my reiatsu, but I would win. Poison gas doesn't affect me, at the cost of focusing on it. If I miss, its game over.

3. Tier Halibel
Water vs. Electricity. Easy win. As long as I don't wet, that is. Then my power is double edged sword. If I get wet, I'll stun myself while attacking. Not good during combat.

4. Ulquiorra Schiffer
Against his ressurection I might win with some difficulty and luck, but against his segunda etappa I would lose.

5. Nnoitra Gilga
He's like Kenpachi, but the difference is that you can mess with his mind and throw him off balance. Then I might win, if I get an opening. Otherwise he would probably beat me. Or at least a draw.

6. Grimmjow Jeagerjaquez
Short range vs. Long range. I would shoot him down like cat in stuck a tree. It would be troublesome if he got close though. Not that I can't create some distance, but still troublesome.

7. Zommari Leroux
Another Troublesome guy. But fortunately not as powerful. "The ability allows each of his eyes to take control of whatever falls under its gaze". Ever looked straight at a bolt of lighting?

8. Szayel Apollo Granz
I'm not sure about this one. I'd have to use my skills as a 12th squad member to not fall for his traps and such. This would be an interesting battle. Even more if he manages to copy me. Then this might be a draw. I don't think he could get close enough to make his voodoo thing. At least not without some tricks. Still, it depends on the tricks we use. I might surprise him if I save my lightning for last.

9. Aaroniero Arruruerie
Really? I mean Rukia defeated him. Its a bit hard to miss such an ugly and huge ...thing.

about manga
Spoiler:
I think we did know about Orihime's parents before. Not 100% sure about her aunt but I think she had been mentioned a while back too...?


about anime
Spoiler:
Interesting but I really just wanna see next week's episode... Yeah.


I'm going away this weekend (Friday-Sunday) to AnimeNEXT, an anime convention. (No duhhh... LOL) I won't be online during that time (obviously) but I'm going to some Bleach photoshoots. I'll link you guys to pictures when they're up. =D

Weeaboo Name June 7th, 2011 11:15 PM

I'll look forward for those Minchi.

Ep 325 was great.
Spoiler:
So the Reigai want the same thing as the real ones but have different ways of achieving it.

Unohana is badass.

Byakuya Kuchiki v Tōshirō Hitsugaya is one of the only fights in which i'd rather they both died lol. Still, both of them going all out was pretty cool.

Nozomi opening up a bit now, also just realised she's got the same VA as...


Also, God i hope there's an Ichigo vs Ichigo in this arc somewhere.

Ep. 325
Spoiler:

Wow. Unohana fight should have been longer. lvl 80 kido's without an incantation like it was nothing. I hope Reigai Unohana will join the fight against the captain commander and not just heal the others. I wonder how long this filler will last, its quite awesome.


Chp. 451
Spoiler:

Ichigo's training is complete! Finally! And he can feel/see reiatsu again! Ginjou so had me fooled for almost three panels. Until he said Sado en Inoue are going to die. But still, good chpt. Can't wait for next week, I want to know what Ichigo's special abilties are.
Striped Uniform?

*crosses finger* I really hope she fights herself, but at least, joining any fight would be good enough.


Manga
Spoiler:
Not much plot development, just Ichigo... completed his training. Meaning the oncoming chapters would probably start picking up the pace again.

On the up side, we get to see Yukio 8D

Also, what happened to our shinigami? It's been 3 weeks it's not mysterious anymore. I'm getting bored of waiting to know who that is >.>

Mangafox missed some of the pages >.>


Episode 325 8D
Spoiler:
Woo, a Kido fight. 8D Shame it was a short one.. Though I like how the R.Unohana analyzed her own original XD
"And, if she had lost, it would mean the end of the original captains' chances of reestablishing themselves in the Soul Society." Wooo. 8D

Rasen: Are you sure this head is Unohana-fail safe? I thought I heard a short fizz when I watched the Kido fight. XD

And she can heal that fast. ^.^

So that's why they're not fighting Yamamoto seriously before? To tax him out first?
...Wait. The fight better not be one done to get a sample of Yamamoto's reishi. >.>

Awww. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi was downtoned very much in this episode. >.> The initial release, that is.

Also, I love the arc, purely because of the amount of Captain vs Captain fights we see. XD As Kira (IIRC) once said, a fight between Captains is something that you rarely see in the Soul Society. Captains vs Captains fights in continuous episodes, are even rarer. And it's not just Ichigo who gets the main spotlight, but rather all the Captains. 8D

Just hope it doesn't go down somewhere in the middle of the arc

Oooh, the preview. Looks like we're going to have a Suzumebachi blast next episode 8D *crosses finger for Jakuho Raikoben as well*
And it seems like Hitsugaya met the Reigai Momo, and was stabbed..?

...Wait, this episode has no shinigami's cup?

So far, we still have (if they plan on showing all the Captains) the Reigai versions of Soi Fon, Unohana, Byakuya, Komamura and Mayuri to fight. And Ukitake and Shunsui, to finish their fight.

Weeaboo Name June 10th, 2011 3:10 AM

Well this is a bummer, kind of like when the original seiyuu for Ivankov was arrested.
Though of course, this is much more somber.

Oh, man. It's always a sad thing when someone passes away.
I did a bit more research, and Kawakami had Ovarian Cancer, and stopped playing her roles in around 2009 (in Bleach, Houko Kawashima took her role as Soifon's voice on the 206th episode, the beginning of the Turn Back the Pendulum Arc, that first aired on the 10th February 2009). It was just on the 9th of June that she passed away.

But didn't Urahara technically beat Aizen? I mean Ichigo played a vital role, but... Well, I'm just saying that Ichigo doesn't always get ALL the glory. Though... He does get most of it, more often than not... He IS the main character, though.


Honestly though, if it wasn't a distant relative, then how would Orihime even be living right now? I mean someone's gotta put her through school, and give her money to eat. Not to mention she has to live somewhere. So funding would have to be from somebody, it's not really a stretch to say it's a distant relative... There are ways to find those kinds of people, you know...

I found out on tigersmouth.org. That site is a site for kids and teens who play Go. Tomoko Kawakami also played the lead role in Hikaru no Go, among many, many, other roles. I've actually been rewatching Hikaru no Go over the past week and a half, so it hit me pretty hard. As I'd been watching, the voice I had been hearing had left us... Though it might have been harder for me to rewatch the series starting after I heard the news, so I guess I'm lucky that I had already been watching.

Sorry for straying from the topic a bit, but I guess what I'm saying is that she'll be missed. She played many important roles in various anime. I only regret that I didn't learn her name until she passed away.

BTW guys, pics are up from AnimeNEXT on Facebook. I didn't upload any YET, but others have. Go to my profile and just check the photos. There were 2 shoots, Friday and Saturday. On Saturday, we killed Aizen again. My idea. Again. Oh and if you haven't added me yet, please do. My name on Facebook is Sei Xīn Chūn Yamakiri so you can look me up under that.

Spoiler:
His Kido does help defeating Aizen, but it would not have activated if Ichigo had not used Mugetsu on Aizen first, so yeah.
And even though Urahara does have a role there, the person who did the fighting is still Ichigo. XD I'm just saying that the main protagonist will get the main antagonist, no matter where. You see, he'll fight Inaba at the end of this filler arc and he'll fight Tsukishima at the end of the Fullbring arc. Unless a stronger character comes and turns out to be Tsukishima's boss.

Spoiler:
I'd agree with this. I think Urahara defeated Aizen, because it was his final blow that sealed Aizen. Ultimately, that's what it is. It doesn't matter how many sixes Tendulkar hits, if Dhoni gets the boundary that wins the match, then he won the match. Sorry, got a bit sidetracked XD.

While Ichigo did the actual fighting, it was Urahara's seal that actually finished it off.

It's a bit like when your queen goes in a rampage, and then you sacrifice it to use the knight for a smothered mate What's up with the analogies today?

Spoiler:
My point still stands. I said that it's always Ichigo who gets to fight the main villain. Technically yes, Urahara beat Aizen but the person who fought the final battle with Aizen is Ichigo. Don't mistake wha I meant by "fighting" with "beating". XD


That's the Fishing Pole trick

Weeaboo Name June 15th, 2011 1:04 PM

Latest chapter...Not gonna say much apart from....Ichigo's a 1990s mecha pilot now?
And now Ichigo is a mecha pilot?

Pahaha.

I like Pokemon (...) June 15th, 2011 1:39 PM

Spoiler:
I actually quite liked the chapter, though it irks me slightly.

Would "dat ass" be inappropriate?

The image of Orihime eating her hot dog... Reminds me of earlier drawings, when Kubo did that mouth and face style much more often.

Well it makes sense to train his physical body, for reasons Ginjou just explained. Oh, that reminds me, he didn't die :/ damnit.

"You will gain a power transcending the shinigami" he has done this twice, Vaizard and with his FGT (that's special to him and his dad, it seems, so I'll put it under transcending the shinigami).

I like his new outfit, it reminds me of Megaman.
And the fact that Ichigo has powers again actually appeals to my inner kid, because it's like watching DBZ, when Goku reached a new level of Super Saiyan, and just started kicking ass. I always like new powers.

His sword is different to Zangetsu.. hmm...

A name for his Fullbring? I wonder what it'll be.

Aha, 90 minutes only, thank god for the Room of Spirit and Time.

KUBO YOU MOTHER****ING TROLL!

minchan June 15th, 2011 3:25 PM

Manga~
Spoiler:
I enjoyed this chapter... I happen to really like the current art style, actually.

Anyway, story-wise, I'm glad things are moving forward. Ichigo's Fullbring's appearance sorta reminded me a little of Chad's powers... The way the arms are shaped... It's hard to explain, but do you see what I mean? It's not as exaggerated though, obviously. But I find it interesting. It also reminded me of a hollow, in a sense... I guess it all makes some sense, but it's still kinda fun to think about.

As for the end... WTF. Plot twist if I ever saw any... He's freakin' RELATED to that guy??? Damn... If nothing else, Kubo knows how to make a cliffhanger.

Spoiler:

Good chp. Lots of development.
Interesting armor, looks pretty cool. Bit old school, but cool nonetheless. It reminded me of Guyver. I wonder what name they gave it.

If his fullbring fuse with his shinigami powers, which he still doesn't have, he wouldn't be a shinigami anymore. Add hollow powers and FGT and we'll need some epic villain to be a match for Ichigo. Unless Aizen escapes.

Timeskip without actual timeskip. perfect.

Cousins? If this is true, why didn't Ichigo recognize him the first time?

Oh and Ilpy; No, it wouldn't. :P

Weeaboo Name June 16th, 2011 12:09 PM

Why didn't he recognise him?
Spoiler:
Because he's most probably used his zan to implant fake memories into the sisters, he's troll slashed a couple of people already so i'm guessing he can do stuff like that.

RASENCERO June 16th, 2011 1:59 PM

Agreed, I suspect something similar.
Spoiler:
Though I doubt he used a zan. :P A fullbring is more likely. XD
Still, it could be true, but Ichigo should have recognized him. We also don't exactly know what Tsukishima's fullbring does. Other then cutting stuff and fake cutting people, leaving them with a feeling that he is a friend. If his fullbring really is doing that. For all we know we are being manipulated here. Heck, this could be a dream.


I forgot to comment on the ep. XD
Spoiler:
I'll keep it short.
Multiple Reigai's of the same person. My army theory seems plausible.
Though I like these Hinamori's better then the original. More proactive.

Ichigo is neither shinigami or hollow, he is an anomaly..... He is the One!
Matrix marathon on TV last weekend.
And now he has disappeared. hmm....

I believe it did, but just a teeny wisp. :P

Manga!
Spoiler:
So now what? Ichigo is fit spiritually, physically, has the power of a shinigami (with a bankai, which is rare in itself, since Byakuya said that only a member every few generations have the necessary power required to obtain a bankai), as well as a Vizard (which augments his strength even more), and a Fullbring. Yeah. Once he regains back his shinigami power, Tsukishima woun't even be able to touch him. >.> Or maybe he'll fight Tsukishima only using his Fullbring.

I'll bet Aizen doesn't know about Fullbring. lol. Transcending the power of shinigami is something he's been looking for for a loooooooooooooooooooooo*insert infinity amount of o here*oooooong time, no?

...Is it just me or is Ichigo becoming a... masked Kamen Rider?

And of course. The routine is the same. =\ We need to see more on other characters.


And anime.

Spoiler:
Mmm.. It won't be fun if only the 3 Captains got to fight all the reigai. *have been hoping for original vs reigai massive showdown* >.>

I effing love the moment where Yamamoto's Ryuujinjakka ignited when it was trapped between the blades of Sogyo no Kotowari.
I hope the R. Unohana isn't just going to heal all day long damnit. >.>

Meh. The real Soi Fon would know that it'd take more than that to finish off Kenpachi.. >.>
Also, this is cute. XD

XD Komamura disregards Kenpachi just like that. Bow-wow. lol.
Though, with a bigger body, Komamura is an easier target for Soi Fon o.o

That R. Hinamori plays a very dirty trick. But yeah, since they both possess the same feeling as the original, it's kinda funny how they're reluctant to kill Hitsugaya XD Poor Hinamori.

Wait... If Yoruichi has been there like, for a long time, is it possible there's a clone of her as well? XD

You're an anomaly. Gee, thanks for figuring that out, Kageroza. Basically what we've said some months ago. Good thing he can't make a R.Ichigo. I don't want to see that battle >.>

Nozomi is going to die anyway. Or at least disappear. Hm. She'd probably sacrifice herself, idk, to bring Ichigo back, somehow.

Just that. Did anyone count how many XD and >.> in there, btw? :P

CyberBlaziken June 20th, 2011 3:01 PM

Hey Zam.
I decided to join this CLub as well.

Keiri!

I'm CyberBlaziken. Call me Kai.
Nice to meet all of you.

Zampakuto:
Spoiler:
Name: Koorimizu ('Koori' for Ice "mizu for Water) (Frosted Water)

Type: Kido, Water-Ice based.

Zanpaktou Spirit: Koorimizu spirit manifests into a man about 5 ft 7 inch. His attires is a Dark Blue jacket like Ulquiorra's. Along with a sky blue cape. He has Grey hair and crimson red eyes. He is a man with no mercy. When in a battle.. he tends to hold back his true powers. Does not like walking, glides instead If he deems his opponent worthy, he does not hold back at all. We are very alike and get along pretty well.

Release Command: Freeze the Icy Water! Koorimizu!

Shikai Details:


Kourimizu in it's released state. The hilt is made of very strong and thin layer of Ice. The blade is blue in clour. Water molecules are sometimes present in the handle.


Attacks:

Kouu Hyoushou (Ice Crystal Rain) - The Clouds start to get darker and it feels like rain is about to fall. Ice Shards rain from the sky, which are sharp as a sword. Can almost cut through anything.

Touketsu Kouzui (Frozen Flood) - If pointed at the enemy, it shoots a blast of my own reiatsu.

Hasakigiri (Misted Blade Edge) - Freezes Water in the Air and then slash it against the enemy. A bit like Getsuga Tenshou.

Bankai Name: Taisan Koorimizu (Dispersed Frozen Water)

Bankai Details: Koorimizu no longer possesses a base form. Its form is the water vapor into the air, which allows me to manipulate and control.

Bankai Abilities: As soon Bankai has been reached, the temperature drops near zero degree and rains start to fall. A blue aura engulfs me and i start to radiate reiatsu.
The rain falling also helps recover my reiatsu very little bit by bit.

Attacks: *NOTE : All Shikai Attacks can be used*

Tenka no Akayaiba ( Bloody Blade of Snow) - My sword reforms in a red crystal colour, allowing me to use my basic sword fighting technique.

Ikaten Kogoru (Flash Freeze) - I raise my hand in the sky and ball of energy forms, crystal blue in colour. i lower my hand and point my palm in to the opponents direction and it shoots out ice beams.

Hyoutenka Goryou (Literally Subzero Absolute Tomb) - Final Attack. My hands starts to be covered with water droplets from the falling rain.
i thrust my fist on the ground and my enemy, or enemies, are surrounded with a circle made of my reiatsu. the ground inside the circles turns into a whirlpool which sucks them in and freezes them completely. Breaking free is quite impossible. nearly depletes my reiatsu.

smile! June 20th, 2011 3:24 PM

Ah, a new member! Welcome to the Bleach Fan Club! =D
smile!, 13th Squad Captain. Join my Squad! Also, a water/ice zanpakto, cool. I've always loved water, and I think ice is a pretty cool element too (no pun intended).

A bit more on yourself? How far are you with the manga/anime, favorite character, character that you dislike, etc.?

CyberBlaziken June 20th, 2011 3:45 PM

Hello smile! I'm kai. Nice to meet you!
New member here, old member in Serebii :P

Well I live in the US.
I just finished my Finals so met a major setback with the anime.
Mostly Manga scanlations.

Ichigo Kurosaki and Kisuke Urahara are my favorte characters.
No least favorite character atm. Chad used to be ( Remember Zam ;) ) But then he got way too awesome.

Zameric June 20th, 2011 5:38 PM

Welcome to the Bleach Fan Club, Kai.
Who told you about PokeCommunity? xD
It'll be interesting to see what you're like here.
Lets seee how long it takes him, eh Smiley?

Ichigo. Hmm. I've never really liked him as the main character, but other than that, I guess he's fine. He has a sexy long black hair

No, she's not really active here.

Yeah yeah, quit yer naggin'
Club members are free to make suggestions.

minchan June 22nd, 2011 1:54 AM

This week's anime didn't leave a big impression on me... In fact, I watched it around 12 hours ago, but I barely remember it... I dunno why, maybe I was tired or something. But I'll just come back later and comment on the manga... I mean, it'll probably be up today, anyway.

Figure I'd mention that I registered for my first semester classes for college... I've got Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays free. Of course there's studying and stuff, but you're more likely to see me on one of those days, rather than any other. Especially Fridays, because I have three classes that day. (9AM - 9PM, with the breaks between the different classes being around one and three hours, respectively.) So actually, Sundays are most likely... Since Saturdays I'll probably be tired in the morning and studying in the afternoon... And Tuesdays are kinda in the middle of things. I guess it's kinda early to mention all this, since my classes don't start until late August (I think) but I figure I should say it now before I forget to later on.

So yeah... For now, I'll just wait for the manga to be released this week, come back, comment, and then... I dunno. Do other stuff. XD

I've been pretty bored this week, so I've done nothing but surf the web and watch anime...

EDIT

OKAY SO IT'S LATER AND MANGA IS OUT DESU.

Spoiler:
OMGOMGOMG I OFFICIALLY HATE TSUKISHIMA ALMOST AS MUCH AS I HATE AIZEN!!! WHAT THE HELL DID HE DO TO ICHIGO'S POOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY???

…Do you guys think that maybe, just maybe, we'll find out who that mystery shinigami was? Maybe he or she (or someone from the soul society) will come to the rescue? WILL WE GET TO SEE ALL THE SOUL SOCIETY CHARACTERS AGAIN??? Stupid cliffhangers. But I'm glad this chapter actually grabbed me, unlike this week's filler… Grahh that's probably because I was half asleep, but still…

I WANT MORE CHAPTERS NOW. RAWR.

Ah, figures.

Oh well. Might as well comment on the manga.
Spoiler:
The chapter is... weird. o.o Tsukishima got, what, everyone under his control/mindrape/brainwash/influence/whatever it is. Including the XCution members? That's a bit too much >.>

Let's hope this doesn't become another Aizen arc. >.<

Oh yeah. Since nearly everyone (except Ginjo) has 'gone to' Tsukishima's side (he COULD have gotten Ginjo as well, no?), I'm assuming our shinigami will come into play next week.. with Isshin and Urahara. Hopefully.


And anime.
Spoiler:
Mhmmm. So we're not seeing all the originals vs reigai. =( I had kinda hoped on seeing Unohana fighting herself. :P

I kinda love this episode. Mainly because it's filled with fights. XD I think they created this arc purely for the sake of wanting to see Captains fight among themselves. XP Though I wish we could have had Gin and Tousen as well. They have interesting zanpakto as well, and only used, what, once or twice in the manga.

WaitwhatKagerozacansimplyerasepeoplejustlikethatwtf?
Though, I wonder if that ability comes from his zanpakto or more from his research of the Precipice World.

And, next week's episode seems interesting. XD seemingly we get new reigai! Meaning what, this problem isn't ending unless someone actually kills Kageroza *coughIchigocough*

Zameric June 24th, 2011 9:12 AM

Hmm, club activity has been down lately.
At least we're still near the top of the page of clubs.

Manga 453

Spoiler:
Ok, Tsukishima is even creepier than Aizen, with his evil genius.
And I mean the scary kind of creepy, not the gross kind.
I think I was almost as freaked as Ichigo was by how fast Tsukishima has brain washed everyone.
Though, I'm hoping he didn't get Uryu too. :/
It's going to be Ichigo and Ginjou versus Tsukishima's zombies.
I'm hoping some Soul Reaper/Vizard will come to help. >.>

Perhaps we'll find out. It depends on if Ichigo goes to Urahara's, or not.

If we see the Shinigami again, it'll probably be Rukia, Renji, Hitsugaya, and the rest of the main shinigami.

Awesome battles. Reigai Soi Fon really let her guard down, she should have seen it coming or at least evaded it. But it resulted in Jakuho Raikoben so I am not complaining.



Its getting harder to come up with interesting topics.
If you had to chose in battle, Zanpakuto or Kido?

Definitely Zanpakutou. My Zan's abilities aren't really conducive to using Kido because it is much more difficult to time the chants for the spells than it is to just swing my sword to the beat of the song. But I have to say, I have contemplated the idea of chanting to instrumental songs, where I would have more liberty as to when I say certain syllables, and I think it would be awesome to see a high-level Kido be amplified by my Zan's abilities. >__>

reiraku June 25th, 2011 9:45 AM

so how does this work? is it like an RP or just posting?

RASENCERO June 25th, 2011 12:18 PM

A bit of both. We are our own OC's, complete with zanpakuto, spirits, innerworlds, battle stats and fulllbrings. You can belong to a squad or just be a Whole. We do some RP within our own Seireitei.
We mostly discuss the latest eps. and chps. but also have random topics, events and such. For the rest everything else bleach related passes by.

But first, we start with reading the first post before joining.

It's possible that he got them before, and only now activated his ability. Similarly, he could have met Ichigo's friends before, and only now really activated his powers.

Hmm, you might be on to something with Ishida having been sliced "for real".


If you had to chose in battle, Zanpakuto or Kido?
That's hard. I'd probably go with kidou, because it's more versatile. My zanpakutou is more to enhance my strength, and I normally use kidou to prevent my opponent from moving, so I can hit them.

Everything that Rasencero said. It's a small community, where we discuss anything and everything Bleach related, with our own little RP section; our own zanpakutou, spirits, etc. where people can make fanfiction or fanart for them.

Zameric June 25th, 2011 1:50 PM

If you had to chose in battle..Zanpakuto, Kido, or Hakuda?
I think my zanpakuto is the most dominant oh my battle skills.
I can use it in practically all ranges; short, mid and long range.
But in close range, I mix in quite a bit of Hakuda too.
I use more Kido with it, in mid-range fighting.

Affected. Tut tut. You are as bad as your Captain with your grammar

Zanpakto. XD My zanpakto has similar abilities to Kido spells anyway, only that I'm confined to one type instead of the multiple probabilities that Kido spells have. Plus, I have the Ace card, which would be equivalent to the nonexistent level OVER 9000!!! - I mean, somewhat equivalent to a level 100 Kido, multiplied 10 times. Or so

To add to Zam's topic, no, I'd almost never use Hakuda. I'm very bad at that >___>;

Is it bad that I JUST realized that the captive in the cell appears to be male? I thought, this whole time, that it was female, and it was some sort of split version of Nozomi, but I guess not. Unless, after splitting, one half turned male...>__>

TEAMWORK! INTRIGUE! KICKING ASS! This episode is pretty good in my opinion. XD

Mayuri was a double agent? I suppose, with his knowledge and skill, he could easily pull off the sparkly eye thing.

Ichigo is floating in a void. Huh. And he's gonna be in the next episode, and looks like he is gonna be in the Urahara shop (or somewhere similar). Hmmm. Gah, I have a love/hate relationship with suspense. >_________<

But I don't want a dysfunctional subordinate =(

Anime 328~!
Spoiler:
Ooooooooooooh.
The episode was like, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. XD

Kageroza's powers are cheap. Super cheap, IMO. Even cheaper than ILP's zanpakto And how did he disappear? o.o

Soi Fon shouldn't have used the kunai. Ninja-style, yeah, but her way is more towards stealth than... random kunai throwing. >.>

Awww, we missed Byakuya's showdown with his reigai =( Though we did see him fighting the reigai Hitsugaya, so it's not a total missed moment of awesome.

Unohana fought! XD Wooo. I wished she had used awesome ass-kicking Kido spells though.
...Wait. Didn't she got trapped in Ennetsu Jigoku last episode with Shunsui and Ukitake? plotholes! Don't tell me Kageroza has numerous copies of the 3 senior captains. That'd be BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD. Or they escaped. Somehow.

I don't really like the concept of "multiple reigai". It just opens up a bunch of cheap possibilities.

When Mayuri stabbed Kageroza, I was like, What, did the Reigai change his mind?

Then he said he switched places. That was PURE WIN. XD Something you should expect from the 12th Squad Captain. :p

Next episode has Kageroza screaming in fear. Hohohoho.
lol, Yoruichi got no clone because she passed the Dangai in cat form. XD

Binary June 28th, 2011 8:29 AM

If you had to choose in battle, Zanpakuto or Kido?

A battle requires almost equal magnitude of both, in my opinion. A battle can't be won with simply a Zanpakuto or Kido (yes, some may; but let's not get to that right now). If I want to fight decisively and effectively, I'd require both. The choice may vary from shinigami to shinigami, but this is my argument on the matter.

Though, most battles you see in Bleach rarely use Kido. (This is actual Kido; Kido with Hadou and/or Bakudo, not Kido-based zanpakto like Hinamori). Ichigo and Kenpachi have always fought using their zanpakto alone.

Yes. But it would probably put them at an advantage if they had some kido skills. Like restricting your opponent's movements and such, you know? :B

Yeah, that. I love Kido abilities much more than melee ones. Their fights would be much more interesting if they have Kido. XD I find melee fights alone to be boring.

Though one thing that should be considered is the context of the fights - how often do we REALLY see Kidou being used? We have a lot of people who are meant to be Kidou experts (Unohana, Aizen, Shunsui, Yamamoto, Mayuri and Ukitake all have 100 in their Kidou stat, while Hitsugaya, Byakuya and Tousen all have 90 in their Kidou stat), but we rarely ACTUALLY see Kidou.

As opposed to this club, where we know that Kidou is really good, and we have a lot of members who are very good at Kidou, and a lot more people who will use Kidou. If Kenpachi or Ichigo fought us lot, then they'd be a lot more screwed, because we use Kidou quite often, and makes it a much greater disadvantage than it normally would be.

Mhm, that as well. XD Kubo does have good concepts behind Bleach (i.e Kido. And I do like the concept behind shikai, bankai and zanpakto spirit as well) - but most of the time, they're glossed over =\ Look what happened to Kido. We rarely see it. Shikai? Only those who haven't got their bankai uses it. For other characters (Captains, and Ichigo), they straightaway use bankai. =.= The zanpakto spirit... only exists when the character is trying to increase his strength. Like Zabimaru and Zangetsu. I'd like to have seen Byakuya conversing with Senbonzakura for once, for example.

Also, speaking of Kido, behold the awesomest 23-second Kido fight of the century. :D

Okay, that should be obvious. See if he figures it out. XP
... And I just noticed, something is a DEAD giveaway. XD

So we finally learn what Tsukishima's true ability is.
I wonder how far his ability could make a person act out.

I hope Isshin and/or Kisuke are going to help them out.

So Kageroza can record and replay space.
It would be interesting to see him fight Aizen.

Spoiler:
I think he's carrying his zanpakutou, but it's doing something weird/special. Or the King's Key?

It all depends on how he alters their past. The personality/behaviour of the person is still the same, just how they might react to situations involving Tsukishima.

I'm not entirely sure if it IS the final battle... It says "This is where the final showdown will take place...!!", it implies that it will happen soon, but it's not stated. It could be that something happens that stops the fight, but then it happens again after a few chapters, here.

Merciless Cremator June 30th, 2011 5:25 AM

Spoiler:

...I hate the villains for both, only because they are just so...lame.

Bleach can't have a big bad villain without confusion or memory/mindscrewing being used. Also the villain must look like a rapist...

Since we seem to have debate going on, I'll just say my piece and go back to things that don't make me want to smack things in the face.

Manga

Finally! The nightmare is coming to an end!
That's ALL I have to say about it. :|

Anime
The clone trick filler villain pulled just...no.
I know it was so Mayuri could be awesome, but...NO!
The bastard was cornered and NOBODY commented on sensing anyone else nearby.

The actual fight was well done, it reminded me why I watch bleach and love them so much.

The plot devices coming out of nowhere to spice up the battle in conjunction with the clone bull crap, after they just used teamwork to overcome the FRESH, new opponents...

It just reminds me a horrible Rper that wants to godmod his way to win. When your villains, have no redeeming traits what so ever to start with, you have to make their actions believable and win people over.

Filler villain failed at both. BOth anime and Manga villains FAILED at it.

...now I'm going to series in general now.

Aizen was godmoddy and has his own hatedom, but at least he EARNED it.
He showed us he was smart enough not to have the ENTIRE supporting cast have him on his hit list without being able to fight back.

Now is it fair I'm comparing a main series villains to filler villains? No, not really, but the manga filler villain is so close to copying Aizen, its disgusting.

I'm going to say something, very jaded sounding, but true.

I only watch Bleach now for the side characters.

Who has the most enjoyable and exciting battles, funny moments, or actually more easy to move plots along with? The Soul Society Charcters.

In almost any bleach club, you will never see anyone fight for us add Kanakura gang or bunto. Cause they suck... Since neither are fun and watchable enough to care about.

Lets look at them now...

Ichigo: Wants to protect his loved ones, freaks out from fanservice, ...that's pretty much him in a nutshell. At the beginning of Bleach, this was forgivable, but we had over 300 episodes/manga chapters, and HE STILL HASN'T HAD ANY CHANGES IN HIS PERSONALITY! When you have a long running series, your main character is the heart of it, and thus should be remebered more than just that Orange haired guy that protects.

Orihime: She actually has a personality and does develop during the whole Aizen thing. She hates fighting, which means she got more development since she can't spam the same attack for 5 arcs.

Chad: Quite, Wants to protect...gets owned alot by villains.

Uryu: The smartass to Ichigo's dumbass. Had alot happen to him and has a enough to be the main character in another anime, but no, little focus and only lives so he can get owned along with Chad.

...yeah.

Soul Society is MUCH more fun to watch, 20+ Soul Reapers, all with their own personality, quirks, background, history and style.
Things we like to see!

I think if they were the main characters and Ichigo's gang were sides, we like them all more and Forgive alot flaws with narrative with them.

I don't feel that this even worth ranting about, so I'll just leave this for ILp and maybe Arc to comment on.


I am the Captain of Squad 2, MC.

If you had to choose in battle, Zanpakuto or Kido?
(I have no Idea what the rest of this post is in bold, so bare with me.)

Haduka would be best for me, Zanpaktou following up 2nd. I use those two the most, so its only make sense. Kido is too shiny and sparkly to be used by a ninja often, so yeah...

I think something much bigger is going on and that this is just to get all the pieces into place.

Object = Isshin's Fullbring?

Spoiler:
Epic battles. A bit lame as how they came to be, but seeing where it led to I won't complain. This isn't the end yet.


You are attacked and suddenly a spirit offers you power. Choose:
Shinigami, Vizard (Zanpakuto only), Arrancar or Fullbring.

Didn't I say about Ginjou not being affected is suspicious? Unless it wasn't in this club.

Anyway, I think that if this IS the final fight coming soon, then Urahara and Isshin will do something that will drag on to the next arc; there's no way that this will be similar to a filler arc.

And I strongly doubt it's Isshin's fullbring. Isshin has had no hints to having a fullbring, and it wouldn't make much sense for him to have one - he's already a shinigami. While there's a possibility that it is, it makes more sense for it to be his zanpakutou.


You are attacked and suddenly a spirit offers you power. Choose:
Shinigami, Vizard (Zanpakuto only), Arrancar or Fullbring.

What do you mean "Vaizard (Zanpakutou only)"?


Yesterday, I went on a day trip to Paris, France. It was really awesome for one major reason - there were a ton of manga shops! I managed to buy volumes 21, 22, 27, 40 and 41 - of Bleach - in French. I know a little bit of French from learning it for 4 years, not to mention I know the Arrancar Arc quite well, so I can get away with reading it XD

Totally don't regret buying it :3

I'm going on a camping trip, which'll be a nice get away from life.
The captains are in-charge while I'm away. Please try to keep it tidy.
You guys can work out who'll keep a log for me.

Have fun~! =D

Spoiler:

Object = Isshin's Fullbring?

That's not an excuse!

Nah, it's always spelt with an a. Let me give a basic grammar lecture:
Affect (verb) means to have an effect on something. e.g "Will it affect my daily duties if I choose to enter the competition?"
Effect (verb) means to produce; to act so as to bring into existence. e.g "The scientists effect a shock wave."

Affect (noun) means the conscious subjective aspect of feeling or emotion
Effect (noun) means the consequence; result.

Mwahahahahaha

Spoiler:
I think it's his zanpakto, though I have no idea why it seems... 'smoky'.

Shinigami. Vizard is an interesting option, but when you put in the zanpakto only, I immediately crossed it out. Why? Because I effing love Kido. XD
Arrancar is also interesting, but apart from zanpakto, resurreccion (which is similar to bankai anyway) they lack other abilities (I prefer Kido to Cero. XD)

I think he means that you can't have Kido, since Vizards are originally shinigami who would know Kido. Except Ichigo anyway.

Have fun Zam.

My laptop's fixed now so I'll be posting regularly again from now on.

Loved the last few episodes, loads of action and the animation quality seems to have fluctuated up again. Still not too impressed with the Fullbringers arc in the manga but meh, it's readable i guess.

minchan July 5th, 2011 8:31 AM

I haven't been here in a while. I'm sorry!!

If you had to choose in battle, Zanpakuto or Kido?
Kido. It's actually pretty close, but I'd pick Kido because it's kinda more epic, IMO. It's like... Magical flames and electricity and light beams and stuff. XD

Shinigami, Vizard (Zanpakuto only), Arrancar or Fullbring.

Shinigami. Not a huge fan of Vizards, I really don't like the Arrancars at all, and Fullbrings are okay, but there's not that much info on them yet... Not as much as Shinigamis have anyway. =P And BTW when I say I like or don't like these things, it's not that I like or don't like the characters who fall under these categories, necessarily... It's just the type of powers in general that I have an opinion on. ;)

Oh dear, I haven't posted here in almost two months. D: hiya.

Spoiler:

Not too sure what the hell is going on here. Tsukushima doesn't seem so evil, and I don't really get what's the problem - he has to have some sort of unrevealed ulterior motive. And, I really wanna know who this mystery shinigami is, that was talking with Urahara/Isshin. Hmmm.

Zameric July 6th, 2011 11:57 AM

Hey everyone, I'm back from my camping trip.
It was pretty fun, except for the heat and mosquitos. >.>
Probably the coolest part was seeing the giant redwood trees in Sequoia National Park.

Manga 455
Spoiler:
Tsukishima's mind-**** party! 8D

When Ichigo started pwning Tsukishima, I was all...

But when Chad and Orihime arrived to protect Tsukishima, I was all...

That means in the next chapter....
Spoiler:
Ichigo will do a Shonen friendship speech to make them make his ability wear off or something.

Kubo really does like the facing opponent, vanish, behind opponent....opponent giving the "OH ****" face.

Also...Ichigo is now a ninja Spider Man mecha pilot, noice.

minchan July 6th, 2011 3:58 PM

I'm currently running Nyan Cat for a few days, so I can't really watch anime or listen to music or do anything that requires audio... Basically, I'm holding off on the episode for this week. For now.

But for the manga... My reaction right at the last page was:

Spoiler:
DUDE. WHAT THE HELL! THAT'S NOT COOL, MAN.


I literally said that out loud.

I really don't even think I CAN elaborate any more than that... Except for the fact that:

Spoiler:
I HATE TSUKISHIMA. IN FACT, I HATE HIM AS MUCH AS AIZEN, AT THIS POINT. AND I HOPE KUBO ADDS HIS LIMBS TO HIS SEVERED LIMB COLLECTION. SERIOUSLY.


Ahh okay, I feel MUCH better now... Rant's done. Go about your lovely business now... LALALALALA~~~

Spoiler:
The title itself, "End of the Bond 1" proves that I was wrong, and that it actually WILL end. This arc feels like such a filler.

Trollkishima at his BEST!

"I DESTROYED THE STAIRS" Why is that so much more funny than it should be?

Aaaand another arm is gone. Smile!, was it you who kept a list?

Chad and Inoue are going to fight him? Something tells me that the spell will be broken in a few chapters.

Alright, so Ichigo will handle these two, Ginjou will handle the Fullbringers, and at some point (after a few chapters), Urahara and Isshin come in.

Zameric July 8th, 2011 10:30 PM

Hey guys, I found a new discussion topic while browsing through the Bleach Wiki forums.

Who do you think are the top 10 strongest characters?
Spoiler:
For now, I'll say that I think Aizen and Kisuke are tied for first, only because Aizen is immortal because of the Hogyoku.
