I'm still thinking about that door. Is it still there, bending the properties of Euclidean geometry? Why didn't any of the characters notice it? Shouldn't the breakdown of the very fabric of space be a concern? wait… this is the most background there's been in a while. Maybe background in Bleach is just incredibly unstable, on a physical sense! That would explain how come it sometimes fades out into nothingness, or disapears completely, or warps beyond understanding.

@RobbyBevard:
It occurs to me. Wouldn't this thread title work better if it were "Felch Discussion 0 (Who said Felch discussion went from 1 to 5?)"
For god's sake do it man.
-
Ugh, Chad.
Shut up and die already, you're such an embarrassment.That and you're getting kinda fat. And lopsided.
Lookit that one massive thigh.
-
After Kubo said he likes to focus and put an emphasis on illustrating the "air" I don't see how any of you can even complain let alone joke about the lack of backgrounds.
It's become beyond disgusting.

Back (in black) from vacation, time to do my thang to this garbage.
Well, actually this comes off as one of the better chapters this arc as it's mostly mindless action. Most of the stupid stuff is in the bad writing.
First, it is confirmed what was inferred last week: Ichigos latest powerup was achieved by beating an unwilling opponent until unconcious. Real smooth, hero.
Oooh, Ichigos fullbring produces clothing! What a novel idea!
Jackie: ….effing ripoff...
Shut up your ability is what, two weeks old? Get back tobeing unconcious in the corner, Old News.
But seriously Kubo. Would it have killed you to just change his outfit even a little bit?And, once again, NotGanjuMorelikeShinji is proven as a total moron. I find this exchange hilarious:
Ganjou: 'S cool to let Ichigo fight, he's got fullbringer abilities now!
Chad: But they might be weak and imperfect!
Ganjou: I said it's cool! Now lets stand back and watch the fight.
Fighting
NotAizen: Hah! Your abilities are imperfect! Die!
Ganjou:.......
Chad: Why the hell are you in charge again?
@Femme:Ugh, Chad.
Shut up and die already, you're such an embarrassment.That and you're getting kinda fat. And lopsided.
Lookit that one massive thigh.
My favourite thing about that drawing is his face. It's like even he can't even believe he's doing something - and has no faith in it ending well.
-
Is anyone else amused at how Kubo's name is transmogrified into some sort of adjective on the volume cover ? :ninja:
-
I say we hold off on 0 until we hit thread 10…I doubt we'll ever get there considering it's not like this is a hotbed like the Naruto thread...but it's close.
As for my title...I think I rather just stick with being "idiot snarky guy who makes the occasional comment, is for the most part considered wrong and makes the occasional funny script about how bizarre this series is."
-
Characters I still like:
Neliel
Urahara
Yoruichi
Mayuri
GinThere is a surprising lack of Yamamoto on your list.

This manga arc is still pretty shitty, but it's better than most of the Arrancar arc IMO. At the very least things are moving a tad bit faster now, albeit all over the place. I'm really just waiting to see where the hell things are going in this arc…
In my eyes, I am more interested in the latest anime filler arc, where it seems every single character will get some depth and the fights will be interesting. Not to mention Kon is actually a main part of the cast.
I don't realy agree. At least there we had Aaroniero, Zommari , Barragan, and Yami, to a decree, to dilute the blandness of everything.
The only non bland character endemic to this arc not only looks silly in a "stupid" kind of way, but he's also stolen from another series.
-
so….ichigo's clothes now give him his power?

Plus, it shows Chad in the opening, and has Yamamoto doing something, which is instant win.
Though I will wait to see what people think, so I can skip the inevitable Hitsugaya segments.

The Life of Chad: A History of Failing. And Magic Goatees
SS: Oh hey, a Captain. Can't let Ichigo down! is ownedHM Start: Well, I didn't do so well in SS, but I kicked a fodder arrancar's ass, so I should be able to handle this former Espada… omg, Kubo let me win! Well, a real Espada seems like a logical step up from there! And looky who was on the otherside of the wall is owned
HM End: Well, maybe I'll redeem myself against Yammy. We both have bulkier builds, so maybe Kubo was going for that. Even if beating Espada 10 makes me look weak compared to Rukia. Wait, what? 0? What the hell, Kubo?! is owned
Fullbring Arc Start: Alright, an arc focusing on my kind of people, maybe I'll be important! Wait, weren't my powers some pseudo-Hollow thing... is used for explanation and keeping an asinine secret from Ichigo ... ... ... dammit...
THAT Panel: Holy sh*t, I'm doing something?! This probably won't go well... blows out a wall, ruining the hideout without doing anything to Tsukishima ... damn, figures...
End of this chapter: Hey, NotGanju, since I did something there, how about I fight him to keep Ichigo safe until his Fullbring is fully developed?
NotGanju: "Ichigo will be fine" (Ichigo is promptly confirmed NOT fine) "Well, I'm off to save the day, see ya Chad"
Chad: :cwy: -
@metteminne:
so….ichigo's clothes now give him his power?
It was an inevitable conclusion with Kubo's fashion obsession.
-
Quick give him armani or lacoste and he has as much power as Goku!
-
No…I remember this picture someone did...
Ichigo's about to become VENOM! -
AHHHHH HA HA, the new thread title made me lol. Well done!
You know, when chronicling Chad's history of jobbing, his complete uselessness during the very first appearance of Yammy and Ulquiora tends to get overlooked. Can we start calling him Yamchad?
Haven't Bleach's volumes always been a single detailed character on white? I don't mind this so much; it's stylish and way too late to change now.

@Tokoro:
I've been looking over the first Bleach thread just now. May I offer some tidbits of what they had to say at the start of the first thread?
Magi: "It's so fantastic. By far the best new show of the season in my opinion"
Rasengan Zero: "Anyways, yes, my second favourite manga series (only second to 20th Century Boys). Good stuff.
e1n: "bleach is definitely my second fav, after one piece."
Himizujin_Eternia: "When watching Shonen Jump series, I somehow always end up watching the Anime first. Sometimes they take a while to hook me, however. Naruto took 8 episodes, and One Piece took 24.
Bleach is the only one since Rurouni Kenshin that hooked me after one episode."
Heh, it feels like looking up hieroglyphs of a civilization that doesn't know the world is about to be destroyed from under them.
lol. Well, Bleach WAS a lot better then. I still see hints of the good old stuff from time to time, but . . . . . . . yeah.
-
Y'know, for all this talk about Chad, people are forgetting that theres' people even worse off than him.
Yes, you heard me.Think of Rukia. Powerless for nearly the first 200 chapters of the series, she returns to the story by one-shotting one of Grimmjows Fraccion! Hot damn!
And then Grimmjow mauls her something fierce.
But thiings look up in Hueco Mondo! She freezes that sand thing! She's fighting an espada!
Whom gives her one of the worst curbstompings the series has seen, and has her pull off the most anticlimatic win in recent memory out her ass in order to survive
But she won! Surely that counts for something right? Right?
It's more than can be said for her fight with Rudobone who was KO'd by Yammy (WTF was up with that?), who proceeded to crush her bones Oozaru style. Which happened after her unconcious body had been used as a puppet by Zommari of all people.But thats still better than Renji, who has ONE win to his credit in the entire series run.
Vs Ichigo round 1: "OMG, this newbie is strong!" –>Byakuya takes over.
Vs Ichigo round 2: Loses
Vs Byakuya: Has a bankai! But still loses.
Vs Aizen: Team effort! Still loses
Vs Szayels bro (How can Menos Grande have brothers!?!!?): Actually wins! Wow!
Vs Szayel: Fights valiantly for several months. Is completely toyed with, gets all his organs crushed, loses extremely soundly.
Vs Yammy: Off screened.Chad just got our expectations way too high by having SMACKING A HOLLOW WITH A TELEPHONE POLE for an introduction
-
@The:
Y'know, for all this talk about Chad, people are forgetting that theres' people even worse off than him.
Yes, you heard me.Yeah I've actually noticed that the "mains" or at least those who went to HM with Ichigo were pretty bad characters as far as Kubo's treatment goes. Ishida's pretty bad too. Only beat an arrancar powerup jobber, and Privaron Espada that I recall. Him vs Mayuri was a near-loss and at best I'd call it a draw. Though I can't remember the pre-HM arrancar arc very well so he probably got a win in on someone in the group of arrancar Renji's win was in. Edit: Might have beaten that giant dude in SS, I remember Orihime was there but forget if she did anything or even who dealt the final blow.
- Fierce rival for Ichigo forced quickly into being an ally (did he and Ichigo ever actually battle or compete in anyway before that? iirc the "killing the most hollows" lead to Menos Grande which resulted in the teamup)
- EDIT: Oh yeah, he beat that giant dude that was the gatekeeper's brother or something. Forget if Orihime helped.
- Barely forces Mayuri to retreat. Would have died if not for Nemu being nice. Temporarily lost his powers but regained them way too fast after SS. - Promptly KOed by Tousen directly afterwards.
- Beats fodder arrancar and Privaron Espada like Chad. But then utterly curbstomped after months of being toyed with by Szayel.
- Goes to help Ichigo, decides to trick Yammy, which unintentionally screwed Rukia, Chad, and Renji over.
- Eventually takes Orihime up to where Ichigo vs released Ulqi is happening. Loses an arm and is assaulted by supposed ally when Ichigo goes berserk.
- Goes back to offscreen killing regular fodder Hollows during this arc and gets owned by Tsukishima.
-
Its better than they started the arc. I thought that was aziens son at first but now that he got his powers back we can more faster through this
-
Even Orihime has some pretty game breaking powers, and does nothing with them besides healing. I remember everyone thinking she would destroy the Hyogoku, and this is right after she brought back Ichigo from the dead.
-
@The:
How can Menos Grande have brothers!?!!?
Yes.
How ?

Worst part of that was Kubo had her resolve to do it in an end of the chapter cliffhanger.

Yes, definitely more interesting characters, but Kubo never did much with them. I personally liked Stark, but he was royally screwed in the end there… Barragon was cool as well.
I just feel like things are moving a tad bit quicker now.
I hope to god Chad doesn't get screwed in this filler arc. The animators do a great job with most of their fillers, but Chad is still screwed over usually. Even Muramasa easily put him down.
-
Raise your hand if you want a Saikyo Jump spinoff called Szayel vs. Mayuri, which is like Spy vs. Spy only with retardedly awesome and nonsensical mad science
-
Hahaha, I love the title.
-
Bakuman has been.. on shaky ground recently.
2 arcs with weak conclusions
Lame main characters
Strong women tosed to the side
Hiramaru stealing the spotlightThose were the alerts that started to ring with Naruto and Bleach.
I fear that Bakuman is already.. "Corrupted"
Hirimaru stealing the spotlight in and of itself isn't a bad thing. Its just bad in that he's so consistently the main hightlight, 1 or 2 pages out of 17.
I'm hopeful the series will re-find itself once the leads start working on a new series again. The writers sort of forced them into a stagnant corner for a bit.

twitch Renji is my favorite Bleach character. Don't remind me how much he's been shafted.
He's pretty popular with the general readers, too. WHY isn't Kubo using him more!?

Hiramaru stealing the spotlight is like shrimpo doing it, the diference is that we love hiramaru, as the fangirls love shrimpo. I'm worried that we turn a blind eye on the corruption.
-

The reason why he's popular is because of his hair. He has awesome hair.
Yeah, his shikai was cool too until everyone figured out exactly how it worked and he became useless.
Yeah, his bankai was pretty cool until he lost every fight and his bankai exploded like crackers.shields face from incoming smack
-
I'm not gonna smack you.
But I don't care for Renji. He's a bland character, the kind that for example Fairy Tail is full off. Random, with a stock face with stock nose and random hair put on top.
-
Yeah i'm sure Satsuki won't be too offended. I'm sure it's just the hair. He Does have cool hair.
We should quit talking about this failstory and just discuss different hairs.[hide][/hide]
I always liked Kenpachi's hair. It's like, you don't need any explanation. Just take one look at his hair and you just Know he's going to murder you.
-
Kind of like Kong .
-
More like Vega from Street Fighter.
[hide][/hide]
I don't know his backstory but his hair always made me feel uneasy. It's too well kept for someone who wears claws.
-
pretty funny vid! this is why Bleach anime will always be greater than the manga

So according to the flow chart, Hitsugaya should make a reappearance fairly soon. Wonderful.

Of course, that explains everything! No wonder that one semi-appealing (to all of you) kid looks like Shrimpo. (then that makes Riruka…Momo? Yeah, sounds right...or was it Hiyori?)

I wonder if anyone actually likes Ichigo???
As a character, I like Naruto way better.

Unfortunately, many people do

Damn, I always miss stuff.

That's awesome.
I wonder if anyone actually likes Ichigo???
I'll admit, I didn't mind him in the first 100 chapters or so. But honestly he's gotten bland as all hell. Once he became a vegetable in Fake Karakura, that was it for me.
-

I've seen Bleach fans on this other forum I post at go on about how Ichigo has loads of profound character development and that they can relate to his character more so than characters like Naruto and Luffy. I don't see it. Ichigo is probably the most boring character in the manga. I would pick almost any character in Soul Society over him. I honestly think it would have been a great move by Kubo to switch protagonists after Ichigo lost his powers, but that ship has sailed.

Totally off-topic: Bigluffy, a pony with a fake leg is the most depressing thing I've seen today;_;

You know what, I am going to now state an unpopular opinion. (on this forum, but others as well)
What is so bad about Hitsugaya? I really don't get why he's so despised, he doesn't do anything that annoying from what I remember. I mean, yeah he's bland but that's nothing new for Kubo. Is it because he's so popular, and doesn't deserve it. Don't get me wrong I don't like him by any means, but I don't mind him. It's not like I get pissed off when he shows up. So why do people hate him so much, because I really don't get it? -

And because of his fangirls also. He's the Justin Bieber of Bleach.
