I doubt I'll rewatch much of it, probably until the Bounts turn up. I forgot how funny the beginning eps were, Rukia not knowing how to use a straw and Chad fighting the hollow, blind.

Pokestick, good times. March 3rd, 2012 3:09 AM

Back when Bleach was an actual Urban Fantasy series with legitimately creepy hollows.

Weeaboo Name March 3rd, 2012 3:21 AM

Seeing the old art style is pretty cool as well, really miss Bleach's pre stylised look, especially Rukia's old appearance.

Pokestick, good times. March 5th, 2012 5:12 AM

There wasn't just as much Kurosaki-Kun either :D
I mean, even that's something.

Kurosaki-kun.



Kurosaki-kun.

Kurosaki-kun.




Kuro-Ok, I'll stop now.

Well this is interesting. Viz romanizes that guy's name as Asguiaro Ebern in the March 5th, 2011 issue of Shonen Jump Alpha.

Quote:

Allow me to introduce myself.

The name's Ebern.

Want my full name?
It's Asguiaro Ebern.
So um yeah. I dunno what's with that... They do weird things with names though... Hmm...

Spoiler:
You mean Ivan? Bleach.wikia puts his name as: アズギアロ・イーバーン in Katakana, or Azugiaro Iibaan. I think the scanlators went with "Azgiaro Ivan", while Viz went with "Asguiaro Ebern", even though they're both technically correct.

Asguiaro gets me nothing on its own.
Ebern is a town in Germany.

Soyeah


HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMILE!Cookie cake for you!

Pokestick, good times. March 6th, 2012 9:22 AM

It'd make sense for it to be the more German-sounding one. A Spanish- and German-sounding name for an Arrancar-Quincy kind of guy.

Animu:
Spoiler:
This week's episode:

Fullbringer and Shinigmai fight.
Fullbringer boasts about their power.
Shinigami turns out to be stronger than expected.
Fullbringer: "...impossible"

It's not taking as long a time as I thought these fights would though, so that's cool. There were a couple of scenes in here that I enjoyed seeing animated, too.

The anime is flying by now, can't wait to see more Tsukishima-Byakuya action but it looks like it's is nearing its final boss fight VERY quickly.


Lots of stuff this chapter! :D

Manga
Spoiler:

I don't quite understand what Yamamoto did... Break the protective barrier?

"Easy to guess"? So I assume Yama probably already knows who would want to wage war on SS. Since they're Quincies, then Yama might know that not all of them were eradicated.

bleach.wikia defines the Shakonmaku as "The dome-shaped reishi barrier that surrounds Seireitei." in case anyone wondered what it was.

"They can bankai." It SOUNDS like "they can use Bankai", but from what we've seen with Ivan/Ebern, he might mean "they can STEAL bankai". If Yamamoto knows stuff we don't, he might have already known that they were trying stuff with Bankai.

"This shadow only hides the chosen ones." Yay, cryptic. Might have something to do with "True Bloods" that was mentioned earlier, or something.

Ohlook, the ice palace thingy.

"You kidding me, who would bow before someone like you?" Reminds me a LOT of Grimmjow V Ulquiorra.

Oh look, an arm was cut off. Was it Zam that had the list?

So...yeah. Retreat. Probably going to focus on Ichigo's reaction to Ivan, and him telling Ishida/Chad/Orihime(/Urahara?).



Weeaboo Name March 7th, 2012 9:45 AM

I did not notice the 2nd Bleach concept cover album had been released. I liked the first one better tbh.
For anyone that cares I'm sure you can find the rest through that.

Zameric March 8th, 2012 9:25 AM

Manga 484
Spoiler:
I'm laughing a bit at how MangaReader's source for Bleach is all messed up.
I guess they hadn't fully prepared for all the traffic they would get since MangaStream and MangaFox were visited by Viz.
But of course, I'm only laughing about it since I already read this week's chapter.

Ok, so we finally learn that Ivan/Ebern is connected to Vandenreich.
Which means that they're most likely Quincies, too.
But Sasakibe's hopefully not dying words have thrown in a nasty wrench...

And with an addition to Kubo's demented fetish, we get to meet the leader of Vandenreich!
But really, is that going to get another arm? A prosthetic might be cool.



I've updated Kubo's Arm Collection with two new additions.
There's a link on the first post; but be warned, it contains spoilers.

RASENCERO March 11th, 2012 6:18 AM

Slow pace is slow.

Funny how we all instantly thought of adding to the list of Kubo's arm collection. If anyone is bored/procrastinating, we should do a count of right and left arms and see if there is a pattern to it. XD
Spoiler:
But I do like the development though. It it still quite mysterious, besides the "we want war" part. People behind wars usually have a hidden motive or a secret agenda.

Ban Kai for ALL the characters! They either stole it or developed a similar power.


Those scans, about what is coming, were pretty interesting.

No Bleach this week?

Herro, back after thirteen days of not visiting this thread.

MAL seems pretty serious about this Bleach ending thing. On Bleach's page, it says the series is 366 eps long. Which means it'd end in eight days :V

Weeaboo Name March 19th, 2012 2:12 PM

I guess no other channel picked it up, hopefully it won't stay dead forever.

Mana March 20th, 2012 6:42 AM

The anime is ending? :O

Episode 365:
Spoiler:

I really don't like Kugo, he's an enemy who never really made sense... Also I feel like they're throwing too many parallels with him and Aizen (the Arrancar/Shinigami vibe, the purple wings in his Bankai form). Boring.

Fullbringers had some real potential for interest and most of them are just so boring. The girl (Riruka?) is the only one who has revealed any kind of special secret power, but if there is only one episode left I doubt we'll learn anything about it anyway.

Pokestick, good times. March 20th, 2012 7:00 AM

I've yet to see this week's episode, but having read the manga I agree, especially on the Kugo part :P

Weeaboo Name March 21st, 2012 6:14 AM

Chapter
Spoiler:
Guy who's only real scene in the show was getting third party facepalmed by Ichigo back in the SS arc is dead.

Nel's back hopefully we'll get some more adult Nel scenes

When one big bad moves out of Hueco Mundo the next one moves in.

Totally non sadistic fanservice page Harribel chained up like a slave. Kubo showin ghis dark side again.

I like Pokemon (...) March 21st, 2012 9:28 AM

Spoiler:
I DEFINITELY think that this is one of the best chapters so far. By quite a bit.

"If you're going to sit down then I guess you won't need your legs."<- Badass. Though personally, I'm not a fan of villains killing their own forces, it definitely is something to show about his own power both in terms of how he inflicts fear, and how many soldiers he must have, of that level.

Is it just me, or has Kubo's drawing improved in general? I like how he's varied quite a bit, from the dark and serious drawing of the new antagonist, and Orihime/Ichigo's cute/round shapes.

So Ishida's getting closer to Ichigo? I guess that puts the decision of which side he'll stick with (since there is still plenty of evidence that Quincies are the core villain group); most likely he'll stay with Ichigo.

OH MY GOD SASAKIBE DIED THE MOST SHOCKING TWIST EVER.

It's a shame they didn't know how many intruders there were, that killed 106 soldiers in 3 mins.

And of course, Ishida/Ichigo's analysis of things.

NEL! It would be nice for him to explain what happened with her!

Wow, "Are you a prophet?" "No." "Then stop guessing the future." *KILL* And Ivan too. Man, people are dying all over the place today.

Arrancars? Haha, looks like everyone was right. I think that was actually good writing on Kubo's part.

And Harribel! What wasn't good writing is that he showed NOTHING of her after she got slashed that suggested that she went to Hueco Mundo at all, even if the database books said so.

Definitely a nice, dense chapter, filled with tons of information. The villain is an ******* who kills and tortures in person, the Quincies are really going all out to beat Soul Society by taking over Hueco Mundo - though how will they do it exactly? Aizen split Soul Society practically in half, and he managed to do jack squat.

And with Harribel captured, and Nel escaped, I think we'll be seeing Grimmjow in the future too - perhaps he also managed to escape, but not into the real world. And he's not likely to fight back against the Vandenreich just yet because he knows that if they have Harribel, then he has no chance.

Pokestick, good times. March 21st, 2012 12:28 PM

Great chapter o3o

My thoughts are already covered though.

Truality March 21st, 2012 3:00 PM

Latest chapter:
Spoiler:
Why oh WHY did Ivan die? Wasn't he supposed to be a primary antagonist in this arc? Or am I not getting something right?

Big bad boos looks like a bulky version of Zangetsu ossan to me.

The rest is already said.


And wait, what. Anime is ending? Haven't watched anime eps in a while, might do it now.

minchan March 21st, 2012 9:23 PM

This is like complete and utter mindf*ck.

Spoiler:
So I guess Sasakibe is dead huh. Well umm hey at least he was a character most people forgot really easily and didn't really care too much about...? Umm. Yeah. Sucks to be him.

I'm more interested in HOW THE HELL NEL CAME CRASHING DOWN TO EARTH. It's kinda convenient that it was already said (in some interview or something...?) that she was gonna appear but hey I didn't expect it to be this soon... XD

I guess the other espada didn't just automatically die after the Aizen fight after all... ^^; Wish there was more to go on than just that though... =P

Anyway what exactly happened to Harribel anyway...? I'm so confused... >.< (Yeah uhh nothing new there. LOL)

I wish Nel wasn't cut off mid sentence... Damn troll Kubo. =/


Sorry for my inactivity... With last week having no chapter and school and life being really rough I haven't had a chance to come by. >.<

Here's some free cake for all of you guys, in hopes you'll forgive me... XD

*gives cake to everyone*

Hey everyone. Sorry that I haven't been on much lately.
Just been busy with school and family and crud.
I'm really likin' were Bleach is heading, plot wise.
But I'm sad to hear that the anime seems to be coming to an end, for now. Right?

Latest manga chapter
Spoiler:
Two big twists in the chapter this week.
First Nel falls from the sky (I'm assuming from a Garganta) and lands on Ichigo, to ask for help.
Then we learn that Harribel is now a damsel in distress! D:
If that sick ******* has or does lay a perverted finger on her, I'll decapitate him! You with me, MC?
Like everyone else, I'm just wtfing here...How could this have happened?
And apparently the leader of Vandenreich is making some kind of Arrancar Quincy hybrids? o.0
It's just so much info right now, it has me on the virtual edge of my seat!
I can't wait for the next chapter, even though I'll have too.
But the wait is already half over, so that's good! :D

Pretty good final episode. They pushed out the fighting for some heart-warming finishing touches. I'm actually content with this being the final ep, even if the manga continues, it's a good standard shounen ending.

I thought the opposite :[ I found the ending really... blah.

Possible spoilers I guess:
Spoiler:

For an Arc-finale it's good, by all means, but if this is the actual final-final episode and they don't make a movie or another series in a few years, I think it was a total let down.

Nothing really got resolved... they accepted Ichigo as a substitute soul reaper - which he was for most of Bleach anyway, so what's new?

I feel like a true finale should have some kind of monumental change, i.e. He is promoted and welcomed into soul society as a Captain, or the opposite and he is left to leave a normal life. There should also be a flash-forward a few years to see how happy the characters are or whatever :P Cliché but final.

I'm hoping the ending was left so open because they do intend on finishing sometime in the future. Other anime have got extension seasons beforehand so it wouldn't be surprising, and it might up the quality of the final arc if time is taken on that rather than filler episodes for however long.

Pokestick, good times. March 27th, 2012 7:07 AM

For a typical shounen like Bleach, where things continue on without much change usually anyway, him staying a substitute shinigami even though people feared he wouldn't is final episode-material already o3o

...Of course I'd enjoy a more interesting ending, but would they make such a radical change themselves, potentially ruining any sequels? Don't think so :P

One thought though.
Spoiler:
Yuzu welcomed him when he appeared in the air as a shinigami. So does that mean she can actually see him properly now, and furthermore, are they implying his sisters know everything now? :O


Weeaboo Name March 27th, 2012 8:24 AM

Fullbring arc was rounded off pretty nicely in the anime, tis a shame that it's ending but I'll keep hoping for the final arc.

Spoiler:

lol Pesche. Good ol' comedy. I missed these guys.

I absolutely LOVED Byakuya's speech. It definitely gave me a lot more respect for a quiet character like Sasakibe - especially since he learnt Bankai before Kyouraku and Ukitake but wanted to stay Yamamoto's Lieutenant. If he used bankai in his last fight, it's possible that we might see it in a flashback. Though a part of me thinks that it would have been really nice to see him fight and die like this. If this gets animated, then I think that they should add it in, as well as his cremation - a very Sasakibe-central episode would be nice.

So Dondochakka is also captured? I wonder where he is... All I know is that it'll be a funny reunion when he sees them again.

Haha, Ishida and Ichigo always have funny encounters. Woo, Urahara!

It might just be the scans that I'm reading, but one of the scanlators put "White haired guy:" in the speech bubble. Looks like he misread the script.

I wonder how they're going to steal Ichigo's bankai... I hope they succeed 8D

Overall, not a bad chapter. The pacing is speeding up slightly, with Nel having just entered, and Urahara coming to take them away now.

"White haired guy" DAMMIT.

Anyway, manga :3
Spoiler:
Things are speeding up o3o
So Sakisabasukesuki turned out to be a pretty cool guy, even though his most badasss moment in the series was waving his rapier a bit and getting Ichigo's hand in his face. Would be cool to see that bankai of his.

Oh hey look, lightsaber guy. Communicating through his bottom.
DON-CHAKALAKKA IS KIDNAPPED? OMFG THIS IS SRS BSNS.

So Harribel had some prime time as queen person of Hueco Mundo? Well that's nice. Now she's kidnapped by the quincy-ish douchebags so yah.

...Those soldiers remind me a lot of Nazis for some reason.
Kubo, don't tell me... Quincys... German... No. :I

Spoiler:
That was a damn good speech! I never really thought less of Sasakibe, but this made him go up quite high.

Lol with Pesche and another one with Ishida. Ichigo is on a roll.

Urahara joins the fight? Nice.

Good chapter, the pawns are moving and the pace is getting faster.

Spoiler:
Apart from the learning the fact that Sasakibe had bankai before Kyouraku and Ukitake actually did, nothing else was of much interest to me.
I mean, it does set the frame nicely. At least now we know how he knew of the Quincys'/whatever race's ability to steal bankai; he was the victim. And it actually worked; it only didn't work on Ichigo, I'm guessing because of the somewhat same reasons why Kageroza wasn't able to copy him, for anyone who watched the filler.

But one thing that bothered me was... If he is indeed an experienced Vice Captain, why the heck was he sent to patrol the barriers from outside during the FKT arc? Sure, he didn't become a Captain because he was loyal to Yamamoto, but that still doesn't prevent him from joining the fight inside. We could've then seen some of his powers.

Either there's a specific reason to that, or Kubo forgets, or he just pulled "Choujiro already had a bankai looooooooooooooooong time ago" out of his random a**. As per usual

I mean, sheesh. It makes sense, of course, that he's at least very powerful, since he's the longest Lieutenant to have ever served, but still.. The only time he was seen in the FKT arc was when Shinji & co. appeared. >.>

Anyway like ILPy said, I'm expecting a flashback of his fight. Ah well. Or maybe if his bankai was stolen, it would be... used by the Quincys.

I'm so hating on Kubo for that right now.
Such a potentially great character, just squandered... -_-

I think he was probably just picked up like many other Arrancar.
I doubt that they would specifically kidnap him, like they did with Harribel.

Good work guys.

I'll believe it when I see it. The last episode certainly seemed like the last one, I mean it had the text they had on the first episode, it wrapped up like the end of a shounen.

Pokestick, good times. March 31st, 2012 1:38 AM

Hmm, I would argue that Wikipedia is very trustable nowadays, but you never know with anime.
They did make it look a lot like an ending, but it would work with a "short break" too. I guess.

Spoiler:
Ichigo being a shinigami inside his regular body would make a lot of sense (as we don't see any of his dead bodies lying around anywhere), though it would defeat the entire point of humans not being able to see him, and Kon's existence :P
Tbh, it's probably just Kubo kicking consistency in the curb.

Okay, the teachers are going on strike. What this means is that they refuse to work for that day. If there are no teachers, then the school cannot be open, because there is no one who can teach (or at least very few people who can). This means the school is closed.
This also happened to have happen on my birthday. So they aren't closing it BECAUSE it is my birthday, but it is a coincidence.

Good work guys.

Googling "TV Osaka Bleach" gets quite a few results. I have a feeling that it isn't one of those "oh Wikipedia" kind of things.

In fact, I went onto the official TV Osaka website, and through Google Chrome's translate, I found Bleach.
Just ctrl+F and type "BLEACH". Bleach is written in English with the Katakana next to it.

This arc is full of minor character-surprises.


minchan April 7th, 2012 4:01 AM

Hey guys, been busy and distracted and whatnot lately (sorry) but I came across something kinda cool.

Did you guys hear Scandal's cover of Asterisk and Alones? (You know, Scandal is the group that did Shoujo S, the 9th(?) opening, and the last opening Harukaze... Asterisk is the 1st opening and Alones is the 5th? 6th? something like that... Too lazy to look it up.) But yeah, with Harukaze they seem to have released covers of those two songs.

Maybe this was common knowledge and I'm just late...? XD But anyway I found them online... They're really cool. I recommend listening to them. (I'm not sure if they are on YT or not - didn't check... but if not and you wanna hear them I can send them to you...)

It's too bad the versions with those songs are out of print now because they were limited editions. But of course the files are floating around online... XD Hahaha...

---

Oh and what's this about the anime...?? Surely there's not enough content...?? Maybe it's reruns?? =/ I'm confused now. @[email protected]

Pokestick, good times. April 8th, 2012 10:17 AM

Scandal making covers on Asterisk and Alones? o3o
Me gusta.

Shoujo S is the 10th opening and Alones is the 6th. Don't ask why I know this from the back of my head :P

In other news, I've also finally reached the first episode in the anime which has MASK for the ending. (The last ending song...)

And in commemoration of that, I was bored (and avoiding homework) so I downloaded all the opening and ending songs and made a playlist of them. =D

Ah the nostalgia...

But the sad truth is that most Japanese music is heavily computerized.
Though I suppose that applies to almost all pop music.

Zameric April 10th, 2012 4:06 PM

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been around in a while.
I watched episode 366 earlier today on Crunchyroll.
I noticed a couple things in the the scenes during the ending credits...
Spoiler:
Soifon was beating up on two wooden posts with pictures of Urahara and Shinji on them.
I didn't know that she has a problem with Shinji... >.>
Did I just miss something earlier?

And the scene where Kira, Hisagi, and Tetsuzaemon are drinking together.
Kira seems to be on a drunken rant about his new captain, Rose.
I wonder if this will be some kind of foreshadowing for future chapters/episodes.

Nice find! Those were pretty good covers.


Just wondering, have any of the opening or ending themes been produced for Bleach, or did they all already exist?

Pokestick, good times. April 11th, 2012 3:29 AM

From the top of my head I know Asterisk already existed, but they made an alternative version of the song just for Bleach.
Alones I know for a fact already existed.

...I guess you could assume none of the others were made specifically for Bleach either, since their lyrics would most likely be Bleach-related in that case.

Weeaboo Name April 11th, 2012 4:01 AM

Most of the time they're new songs for opening and endings, couldn't tell you which ones were just selected from an album though. Reason is the bands use it as marketing, not really worth marketing an old song now is it.

I like Pokemon (...) April 11th, 2012 5:13 AM

Ah, it's nice to see Harribel's fraccion again.

The Tres Bestia? I kind of like that.

And I like that they're actually strong! I think Bleach power levels mean that we forget that these three were subordinates to the third most powerful Arrancar in Hueco Mundo..

Okay, good, we aren't wasting time. Mayuri is getting straight to the point and I like it.

GAH They're skipping out words!

This is not good. Yamamoto is angry and he is not thinking straight.

Well, hey, they lasted half a chapter. I think that's a record?

Blah, still kind of slow for my liking.

Listened to them. They're good, but I am just so used to the originals (which I must have been listening to for how many years now?) that they just sound... strange to me. Though I'll admit, the first singer right at the beginning of Alones was really good. I think to someone who hadn't heard the originals first (or hadn't heard them for a long time before hearing this one), it would be a good song.
Don't think I'll listen to it very often though.

I'd have to double check on each of them (which I am too lazy to), but I'm pretty sure that they're just popular rock/pop songs that have been cut down and slapped with some animation. I'm pretty sure that's standard nowadays, and in fact, the only anime that I can think of off of the top of my head that had a song made for it was Dragonball Z.

Harribel's fraccion, another nice way of Kubo ranting over how powerful some unimportant characters are, just so he can kill them off to imply how scary the enemy is.

They're quincy? OH MY GOOOOOOOOOO-oh wait we knew that.
But the word skipping is PISSING ME OFF :D
Thought it was a typesetting error at first actually.

NEXT CHAPTER: ICHIGO AND NEL VS NAZI SUNGLASSES-HORRIBLE-HAIRCUT MAN. WHO UNTIL WE LEARN HIS TRUE NAME I SHALL CALL IGOR.

minchan April 11th, 2012 5:46 AM

For the openings/endings it depends from anime to anime, song to song.

Some anime have songs done specifically for them, most notably the ones which have the seiyuu sing the themes. (More often those are slice of life or romantic comedies though.)

For Bleach, mostly they are just regular songs.

I don't know if some of them were written with Bleach in mind or not, but maybe. It's hard to know. I do know that some of them got a later actual release than the song's TV debut though. (I'm pretty sure chAngE is one of them...?)

I'll do some research later and let you guys know. I want to know too - I really love finding out more about Japanese music. XD

Spoiler:
Ohlook, we get to see more new haircuts. Yeah.

So the pace is picking up again... Hopefully next chapter will get faster. I can't wait to see some fights already. Curbstomping aside, that is.

I used to think Quincys only use arrows, but apparently that Captain has a sword... interesting.

*sigh* Ichigo went to save Orihime, and Aizen came to FKT.
Next he went to save Dondochakka, and Emperor Zangetsu is going to Soul Society.

KUBO Y U NO WRITE ORIGINAL PLOT?

Mayuri ordered his Squad to kill off Rukongai members? Certainly sounds like him. I guess I forgot how... heartless he could be, given that in the last arc he was mostly with Nemu and fellow Captains.

"You failed to kill that man." I'm assuming this is the Emperor Zangetsu they are talking about. Or.. his great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather maybe, since Quincys live a normal human life, no?

Ah well. Don't go fighting with each other yet, the Quincys are coming.

Pokestick, good times. April 18th, 2012 7:35 AM

MANGA 489
Spoiler:
OH BOY, GERMAN. IT'S LIKE IN THE BOUNT ARC AGAIN (AKA this is going to be so awkward in the anime).

So the evil captain guy pulls out his sword-bow (nicccceee) and prepares to fight le Ichigo (still), we get to see some cool Vice-captain stuff and Kurotsuchi is making a surprising amount of sense... WAIT WOULDN'T THAT MAKE THE EVIL QUINCY MASTER BLOW PEOPLE'S HEADS UP-MAN 1000 YEARS OLD? DAFAAAAAA-
ALSO CAPTAIN COMMANDER BACKSTORY APPROACHING AWW YEEEEE-

Weeaboo Name April 18th, 2012 8:20 AM

Yeah, the Japanese seiyuu do seem to struggle with other languages, I guess they are probably just reading a script and haven't actually studied it. I hope it's better than Asuka though.

REvan342 April 18th, 2012 1:10 PM

Idk why... but ive always thought that Japanese singers have such great voices, and combined with thier lanquage is just a work of art=)

Manga 489
Spoiler:
Hmm, I wonder if Nemu is lying, or if Mayuri honestly kept her out of it.
And this seems like a pretty grievous thing that Mayuri has done, even if he was just trying to keep the balance of souls.
I'm wondering if he will have to face any repercussions later.
This seems to be a pretty complicated matter, kind of like with the Fullbringers.

On Ichigo's side, looks liek we're gonna get to see a good fight soon!
I like how observant Ichigo is in battle.
Kind of helps make up for him not having many special abilities. xD
Kirge Opie is quite interesting, using his sword as a Quincy bow too.
This is the the kind of variety in abilities that I expect from Kubo. :)

Spoiler:
I wouldn't be original if he went to KT.
Similar, but not unoriginal, in my opinion. :p

They were just going where their goal is.
Aizen wanted to make a key to the Soul King's heart, and the Vendenreich leader wants to kill Soul Reapers.

Pokestick, good times. April 19th, 2012 8:08 AM

Me: What the- well this was strange. Why didn't he just-

Zam: This is the the kind of variety that I expect from Kubo. :)

We're a colourful bunch, aren't we? xD

Spoiler:
Does not understand what you meant by your first sentence
What's the difference between similar and unoriginal? ==" In both cases, Ichigo goes to HM to save someone, and the enemy in HM goes out of it because he knows Ichigo is there.

Actually, that's where the unoriginality kicks in. If he just mentioned he was only going to SS, that's acceptable. But when he said that now Ichigo is at HM, he can go to SS, well, that makes it to be a lot similar to Aizen's case. Though Aizen's intention was maybe to split the SS Captains into two parts.

Now, if the story was, like, the Emperor goes to SS, Ichigo tries to go there but gets blocked or something, so he goes to HM instead, now that's a different story.

At any rate.. *expects to see some fighting next week*

Pokestick, good times. April 28th, 2012 6:15 AM

MANGA (on a Saturday? Strange)
Spoiler:
So apparently we're dealing with the exact same guy who Yamamoto didn't kill one thousand years ago. Which means Quincies live basically forever? :I
Holy Darwin, that form is absolutely ridiculous.
And I understand enough German to know how terrible Kubo's grammar is (actually, because of how similar German is to Swedish I almost feel offended myself).

Oh yeah, and apparently Ishida is important or something.

I like Pokemon (...) April 28th, 2012 6:40 AM

So like I'm back now.
Spoiler:

So we can at least call him "The Emperor", now.

It hasn't been 5 days yet, has it? I guess they're biggest fear must be Ichigo, if they're willing to invade SS when Ichigo is in HM.

I count 7 guys on the splash page. Maybe 8 if you include the Emperor. I'm too lazy to check up on the first page of the new arc (which would show us the other guys again).

Poor Nel XD

"It is impossible for Ishida's Heilig Pfeil to be weaker than mine" - which makes me think that it's a modified attack of something.

Ah, the Quincy: Letzt Stil was used by Ishida in the fight against Mayuri - where he started breaking down the particles of the nearby buildings. Mayuri only managed to escape because of his "turning into liquid" thing.

Looks like Quincies can go Bankai much more easily now.

And they have Dondochakka now. And they've entered Soul Society.

Pokestick, good times. April 28th, 2012 7:10 AM

Spoiler:
But wasn't Ishida's Letzt Stil (I'm pretty sure the word Stil doesn't have the meaning Kubo thinks it does) triggered by taking off the glove? And didn't it cause him to lose all his powers? And they're basically just bankais/ressureccións now?

Kubo... *slow head shake*

Weeaboo Name April 28th, 2012 2:54 PM

I would comment on the chapter but all I can really say is I like post timeskip Ichigo a lot and dam these Nazis are stylish.

minchan April 28th, 2012 6:24 PM

Whoa, didn't realize the manga was out until I checked my email and saw an alert from this thread. XD

BRB, gonna read it, and edit this. OwO

EDIT

Spoiler:

OKAY KUBO STOP TROLLING DAMN IT!!!!!

Seriously, this character starts talking about stuff about why Uryu's attack can't be weaker than his for some reason and then HE DOESN'T TELL US. WHAT.

DAMN TROLL. o(>∆<)o

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

...

On a completely separate note, apparently Nel found Dondochakka...? Well I guess that was, um, easy. =P Damn, a million times more easy than Rukia or Orihime's rescue... LOL

Zameric April 28th, 2012 9:16 PM

Manga 490
Spoiler:
A Quincy with a Mohawk, now I've seen everything...

Kirge's face makes me a little sick, though. >.>
I guess his lips just contrast with his skin too much.

Cool fight is cool!
His comments about Uryu are interesting.
I'd love to see just how Uryu compares to some of these Quincy.

Wasn't expecting the Letzt Stil at all!
This reminds me of the good ol' days, when bankai was something rare and amazing. xD


The second to last page was anti-climatic...
I mean, Dondochakka was kind of the main reason they went to Hueco Mundo.
But he's found and rescued off screen...At least he's safe...

And then the very end.......
What is this I don't even?!
My best guess is someone's shoe. >.<

Weeaboo Name April 28th, 2012 9:19 PM

Nobody else commenting on how stylish he is.

Under my glove....is another glove!

It's like a hollow mask under a hollow mask, infinite Michael Jackson power.

Zameric May 2nd, 2012 5:39 PM

I think we have a different sense of fashion/style, Lapras... >.>


Holy Hollows, The Bleach fan club is one year old today!
I can hardly believe it's been a year since I started the club.
There have been so many good friends and fun times. :)
Well, here's a toast to the Bleach fan club!
I hope it continues to prosper for many more years.

Weeaboo Name May 9th, 2012 6:19 AM

Before reading the next chapter put this on.


Anyway, in the chapter Chado started building a harem.

Pokestick, good times. May 9th, 2012 8:06 AM

This chapter was actually quite nice.
Things being properly explained, and an actual unexpected (from my side at least) twist? :'D

I've decided to stop mourning the death of the German language. It's not like we expect anything more.

Weeaboo Name May 9th, 2012 8:12 AM

Strawberry not going bankai from the off is also pretty nice, I mean this stylish nazi wizard is already dead.

Pokestick, good times. May 9th, 2012 8:33 AM

If the Frankenstein-esque animal skull golem is as powerful as I remember it to be, then yeah, Mr. Fabulous Angel Nazi Guy is screwed.

I like Pokemon (...) May 9th, 2012 10:54 AM

Spoiler:
"No shockwave of Reiatsu" - I like that little bit of detail there. It makes it feel like he's thought a bit more about the effects on the surrounding and the other people, whenever someone does something.

However, I DON'T like that he's flashbacking to give us information. It feels like he's arse-pulling whenever he does that. It would make it seem much nicer to do it chronologically, because it gives us good foreshadowing.

So the new Letzt Stil is an evolved form. I wouldn't be surprised to see other, super-powered attacks.

"If Ishida transformed into something that disgusting, I might kill him by mistake." I just found that hilarious.

I do remember Chad (maybe Ishida?) mentioning how Hueco Mundo has more... organised spirit particles, or something like that. It's more dense or something?

Woo, Allon. It's nice to see that the Tres Bestia aren't out of the count already.

Well, that's it, really.

Pokestick, good times. May 16th, 2012 6:59 AM

Spoiler:
...Okay, I guess Tres Bestia are out of count after all.
This turned out to just be another of those showing how powerful the enemy turned out to be so Ichigo can be a badass defeating him afterwards-type of thing.

Blonde Aizen reciting what Quincies are like just in case anybody forgot, and an interesting history lesson. And apparently both sides are "just" here.
I don't know, from what we've seen the quincies are arrogant nazi douches who kill for no reason and the shinigami are corrupt men in power who will do anything for what they believe to be the right thing.

I don't really know what the quincies are fighting for (other than revenge), but I do know both sides kind of suck.

I like Pokemon (...) May 16th, 2012 8:33 AM

Spoiler:
I keep forgetting that the "mask" thing is not his/its face.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about these two. I'm suspicious of Hidetomo Kajoumaru. There's probably a reason why he knows all of this, and why Kubo didn't just write in a Lieutenant or something.

So we learn that Shinigami were called Balancers, and that "if the balance was disrupted, Soul Society will flow into the Human world and the two worlds will both collapse." Interesting.

I'm sure there must be a reason why the Quincies always denied it.

I'm liking the philosophy of "when both sides fight for a just cause..."

Of course, stabbed through the chest. Immediately saw that coming when I saw the previous page.

"Adjust the strength of our Blut (Blood/Blood Cloth)." Which probably links to the "True Blood" thing I've heard here and then about Ichigo. But at least we know that these guys can be more powerful.

And... That's it.

Pokestick, good times. May 16th, 2012 8:53 AM

Spoiler:
Most of the balance and destroying both worlds thing was explained ages ago. And I agree that it's a bit suspicious to bring in some random guy to say it. Especially since he reminds me of Aizen.

MeltyShard378 May 16th, 2012 11:35 AM

So... Uh... Sorry for not being here for months... OTZ Please don't kill me I have a cookie cake! IRL, too.

Spoiler:

I thought it was interesting how the topic of justice was brought into this chapter... Though the way the guy says it (and because he was unknown until now) makes him look like a double agent-ish guy...

Not quite sure why Orihime looks so horrified as the guy gets pounded into the ground by Allon/Ayon... I mean, at least he wasn't ripping him apart or anything....?

Pokestick, good times. May 16th, 2012 11:49 AM

A cookie cake? Why was I not aware that these existed? >:U
Spoiler:
I would imagine it's still not really Orihime's cup of tea to see a guy get beaten to almost death (?) by a furious bone monster.

Zameric May 16th, 2012 1:50 PM

No prob, Meltyshard. I have to apologize for not being around for a little while too. >.<

Manga 492
Spoiler:
Overall, this was a pretty good chapter. :)
Except the ending... D:

Considering Kirge's power and mastery of his abilities (dat Ransotengai), I wonder how Uryu would really compare.
When I compare Uryu from the Hueco Mundo invasion, to Kirge Opie, it would be a great fight, but I think Kirge would eventually win.
But Kirge said that Uryu's Heilig Pfeil should be more powerful than his own.
And I see that as meaning that Uryu should be stronger than Kirge.
So I then wonder, if Uryu used the Vandenreich's equipment, how powerful would he be?

Kurui May 18th, 2012 9:20 AM

K, I don't like BLEACH but can I join for the love of Kageroza-kun? He's my LIFE. ;w; It'd feel not right to join something he's a part of. My username is derived from his Kurue Zanpakutou release command. My team Sumitsuki's name is derived from Sumitsukigasa zanpakutou. I dye my hair like his. I wear him as my avatar/sig. And now I musssst join this club to further prove my undying devotion.

Lyrics for a song I wrote for Kageroza-kun.

Revelation Lyrics
(English - Japanese)

In the birth of a single moment

isshun no tanjou de

The "essence of time" is stamped on our foreheads

jikanki wa gaku ni kokuin sareteiru

Etching us into the charade of forever

eien no gensou ni warera o ho ru

Fate

Unmei…..

It was only then, at the second we first met
That the "weight of impermanence" became a glowering figure.

warera no deatta shunkan dake ni
hieizokusei no omo ga nirandeiru zukei ni naru


Because I didn't have this hand to hold onto
I was living idly, I was dying
Idly

kono te o nigirarenai no de
muda ni sundeita, shindeita
muda ni


The "essence of time" is stamped on our foreheads
Etching us into the charade of forever
Fate….

jikanki wa gaku ni kokuin sareteiru
eien no gensou ni warera o ho ru
Unmei…..


When the sand has run dry in the hour glass
Will we tilt it over or let ourselves perish?
If we choose the latter
Pierce me with a final goodbye

sunadokei no jikan ga fusoku shita toki ni
saikidou suru ka, shi o kyoka suru ka?
kousha o sentaku shita baai
wakare de watashi o ugatsu


Let an unwavering awareness (of each other) glaze our departure

otagai no yuruginai ishiki ga shuppatsu o teigishite mimashou

The voice of reality is something we abide by
Our pasts unchained, we anticipated our future
Fate….

genjitsu no koe o shitagau
kako no kusari ga nai de mirai o yosoku
Unmei……


We imploringly ask for tomorrow's arrival,
Now knowing that yesterday will die upon nightfall.

ashita no touchaku ni kougan suru
kinou wa higureji ni shinde shimau


Unveil

keiji shite

Welcome to the Bleach fan club, Kurui. :)
I've never met anyone who is as big of an admirer of Kageroza as you. xD
I'm a bit surprised you don't refer to him as Kageroza-sama...

I wonder what you think of Oko Yushima and Nozomi Kujo.
Do you think of them like in-laws or something of the sort? >.>
