[Pokestick good times.]

Apparently belated manga:

Spoiler:

So Riruka and Jackie magically survived, Yukio will be away for a few years (either to get rid of the character, or to prepare for some distant plot event) and it doesn't seem like Jackie will be part of the story that much from this point.

Riruka however will probably be kept (can we officially call this a harem now?).

And it's surprisingly nice how Tsukishima finds peace with Shishigawara. Or maybe he dies. It actually looks that way a bit. He seems content nonetheless.

So yeah. New arc on its way, I presume. Now with revamped SS, kewl bondage Ichigo and extra Riruka.

...Oh, and where the hell is Kon.

 

[-Jared-]

Manga! :3

Spoiler:

And I thought Naruto was the one with the power of character development...xD

I agree, Kon needs to show back up. >__< If he does, I just know it's gonna be in some sort of fourth wall breaking rant about his lack of screen time. >__>

Hmmm, Orihime doesn't remember Tsukishima at all...I wonder about Chad since he knew quite a bit about Tsukishima before being slashed...

Not much else. :P

 

[I like Pokemon (...)]

Spoiler:

3 pages of Tsukishima just going "WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME GINJOU?!"

Oh yeah, Sushigawara. I forgot that they had a close bond with each other.

Okay, so everyone lost their powers. Only Ginjou and Giriko actually died. And for the moment, Riruka is staying with Ichigo and co.

That's... it. The only thing I really liked was Sushi's sweet little "YOU'RE INVINCIBLE, BRO!"

This might actually be my shortest post.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

Spoiler:

It probably has to do with Ginjou's power transfer thingy, but may I ask why they lost their powers? xD

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Glad that arc is coming to it's end, it had it's ok moments but overall I am disappoint.

Put anime on hold so I save up for a marathon, Bleach is totally more fun like that.

 

[RASENCERO]

Manga:

Spoiler:

...
So Ginjo died and everybody just left? Talk about not even caring for the secondary characters. Oh they did save Riruka. (I don't mind calling this a harem, Pokestick. :P Though then I would like to see what happened to Neliel.)

Okay, so everyone lost their powers.

Why do you all say that? Did I missed something? Only Jackie was mentioned, because her boots/fullbring were damaged or something (probably by that self destruction thing). Anyway, Yukio will be back.

Giriko so chose the wrong opponent. XD

I do think Kon will be back. I am in general curious what happened with the clean up etc after Aizen. Like Hueco Mundo, remaining Arrancar, why everyone was training, what the real problem behind Ginjo was, etc.

Why do I feel so oppressed about this

Spoiler:

Kubo, if you live up to your troll reputation, please do something about Riruka. Or rather, something to her.

The rest I wanted to say are already covered up by you guys.

Spoiler:

Well we know that Jackie asploded.
Giriko and Ginjou are dead.
Either it's somehow linked through Ginjou. Or alternatively, Tsukishima died and it was his powers that led to everyone else getting powers.
I dunno, it's just what it seemed like it was saying, that everyone lost their powers.

Hey, this is a Pokemon forum... So does anyone remember than episode called Bye Bye Butterfree? I think you know why I'm asking this.

Ash's Butterfree got lucky, a lot better outcome than what Aizen got. And rightly so!

According to the latest databook, Las Noches fell apart and any Arrancar leftover *coughHallibelandherfraccioncough* probably went their separate ways.

I'm thinking that Yukio, Sushi-boy, Trollkishima (if he's not dead), Riruka, and Chad, all still have their powers.

Bah I want to see Inoue be all badass wither her new shield, and we now have to wait an extra week to see it. :< Bleh. >__<

But on the other hand, 8-bit Ichigo is so cute! xDDD

Oh and the extra "lively" scene was kinda funny. :P

 

[minchan]

Spoiler:

Gosh, where IS Kon anyway???

Aside from the anime filler WHICH DOESN'T COUNT FOR CANON MATERIAL... When did he last show up...?

Seriously. When. I don't remember. At all.

ANYWAY.

Oh look. I go away for a while and Tosen died. Oh well. =P

Also.

I can't be the only one who things the manga's PACE is extremely slow... Can I? Barely anything happens per chapter, especially when I compare to other weekly series I read. I want more CONTENT. >.<

 

[I like Pokemon (...)]

Jump is back from holidays Jan 11th, Fairy Tail & Ippo on Jan 6th - dates subject to change but that's our best estimate.

Looks like no manga for 2 weeks...

What chapter of the manga is the anime currently on? If no one knows what I mean, I mean what chapter of the manga has just been put in the anime?

Spoiler:

Episode 354 equals to chapter 447-448, roughly. I'm still wondering about when and how will the first fillers of this arc be carried out...

 

[minchan]

Hey guys. I've been re-reading Bleach lately... I've noticed some things about the early chapters...

Am I the only one who forgot that Grand Fisher became an arrancar (or at least started to) in the end of volume 3?

Maybe I just have an absolutely horrible memory, but... It's true, check for yourself...

So I wonder how far in advance Kubo planned out the series...

I mean, I don't think it mentioned "arrancar" but it did say something about his mask being torn off, after his fight with Ichigo at his mother's grave...

It just made me think. Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

---

On another note, I'm still behind on the anime... >.< Maybe I'll catch up some time soon...

Oh and I may not be able to give a comment about the next chapter when it comes out, since I'm going away on the 8th until the 18th with limited internet. My iPhone is a pain to type with but I may be able to... Anyway, I might be able to catch up a bit on Bleach anime since I'm so behind and I do have the Crunchyroll app. As long as reception doesn't end up sucking. XD

Have we stopped the hurt and heal game, or...? =/

 

[Zameric]

Hey everybody. I'm sorry that I haven't been around for a while.
I guess I've just been trying to enjoy my winter break while I have it. ;p

Bleach manga comes back next week, right?

Spoiler:

I hope the next chapter will at least be transitional.
I can't wait to see if Kubo replaces the three former captains, or if he's still going to leave the positions unfilled.
Three new captains would definitely refresh the story some.

I got Bleach the Movie:Fade to Black on Blu-ray for my birthday (which is in about 20 minutes ;p).

Well, I started Bleach with the anime when it came on Adult Swim and I never read that early part of the manga.
But I went back later, after I had found out about that tidbit on the internet.
An early design of Shinji was discovered in the first chapter; like an Easter egg in the series.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOUTAICHOU!

Am I the only one who forgot that Grand Fisher became an arrancar (or at least started to) in the end of volume 3?

I figure quite early on when Kubo made the series, he had a brainstorm of all sorts of things he could do - including Arrancars, possibly Vaizards and all sorts of stuff like that. So he probably left it in there, either as epic foreshadowing, or as "if I get stuck and reread for ideas, I know I can use this".

Have we stopped the hurt and heal game, or...? =/

You're only meant to do that when it ISN'T the only thing in your post.

Yup.

Spoiler:

If he does have new captains, I hope he explains it in a way that explains why Renji(/Ikakku) didn't get it.

Yup

Episode

Spoiler:

This week's episode was a pretty standard holiday filler.
Not that much to say about it. It's interesting how some of the characters (like Renji and Byakuya) have their new looks, while some, like Rukia, don't. If this was supposed to take place around this time, it wouldn't exactly be weird to have her new haircut since we've already seen it in the previous episode :V
Oh well.

I like the new ending though, it's pretty artistic and is original for something Bleach.
But I could see it getting boring after a while.

 

[-Jared-]

Anime:

Spoiler:

Meh. That pretty sums up my feelings on this episode. xD It wasn't particularly entertaining, and it was rather predictable, and at the same time utterly confusing. xD

I just can't wait to see Inoue be all badass next episode. xD
