So, Orochimaru's still alive, huh? Sure, why the hell not…
Ol' No-Name's made his move, at least. Here's hoping Kishimoto resists the urge follow the runt of the uchiha again next week...

Besides Mizukage whining, I thought it was OK.
I don't get this Orochimaru stuff. I remember part of him lived on in Kabuto, but now they're seperate? Huh? And with him and another new character, I wonder if this arc isn't actually the last. Hope not.
naruto chapter was midcore the orichimaru chit was an asspull but good to see the only intersting vilen in this manga making a comback
i actually liked this chapter. Orochimaru being alive does seem a bit random but he was one of the legendary sanin and him being 'killed' by sasuke always left a bad taste in my mouth
Wasn't Orochimaru successfully sealed by Itachi?
And who could Sasuke mean?
The first four Hokage had their souls sealed eternally, so he can't mean them. Perhaps Danzō? O_o
By the way he reacted to "Edo Tensei Madara", I was thinking he meant he's going to see him.
No bleach this week?
@nodensuke:

I thought that was because he just found out Tobi isn't Madara.
I think Sasuke only wants to talk to Oro, and will probably use the same trick with chakra that allowed Naruto to talk with his parents. No way Oro is going to be back. That would be too low, even for Kishi.
Bleach is out… and terrible. Chad jobs out to another enemy and the plot moves at a snail's pace...
It was pretty funny how Akon mentioned that the Vice Captain whose spiritual pressure had vanished was neither Rukia nor Renji, though. Supposedly this guy had only heard rumors about Ichigo, but now it turns out he knows who Ichigo pals around with the most? Oh, Kubo...
I thought it was pretty good chapter. So they have 16 Captain ranks or superior within their ranks. That is some serious fire power they have got. And we have 4 captains without a bankai, so they are already down to 9 captains.
Hopefully the Royal Guard will turn up eventually. I also wanna see Tessai ( thats his name right? ) to kick ass with his Kidou. I wanna see more use of kidou in battles, like Hachi did against Barragan.

Orihime and Chad will never be useful.
And certainly not Urahara, nevermind that he just one-shotted an enemy who kept Ichigo on his toes.
http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/499/17 Also, realy ? We're gonna have him spend half a chapter going there to then say "Nope, sorry" and have him yanked to the start, effectively making the entiere goddamn thing pointless ?
KUBO YOU DUMB FUCK that's now how you get to improve your ratings.
I'm too distracted by this week's One Piece chapter to say anything else about these chapters, but both of them were meh.

Wait, are you actually concerned about Bleach's situation? :blink:
…you know, I can actually accept that what's-his-face decided to pull that energy cage thing on Ichigo, if he were such a threat to the Quincy and Sternritter. That's mainly because I'm just dumbstruck by Orichimaru somehow being alive… or hell, relevant. We've still got Tobidara and the actual Madara to deal with, and it's all very interesting (said with the biggest airquotes I can muster), so who cares about Orichimaru at this stage? Won't you just let it end already, Kishi?
Also…
I'm feeling very sadistic today, so…
…is it wrong of me to say that after a while, it sounds like Orihime is saying something along the lines of "I'll kill you" in Japanese? By that indication, it would imply that she's just lost her mind... which could be an interesting twist; or at least better than anything Kubo has thought of recently.
Anyone else amused by the rock computer?
I liked Naruto chapter for it's visuals. How three spreads were organised and poses and stuff. How anonymous summons statue and it's eyes are popped out and how Madara is all "useless" and the last one. They are drawn okay and have neat composition. Plot? I no longer pay attention. Just pictures~.
Bleach was unnoticed. It will take several months for Ichigo to be free. But it's funny seeing Chad swiss cheesed.
Orihime and Chad will never be useful.
And certainly not Urahara, nevermind that he just one-shotted an enemy who kept Ichigo on his toes.
He 1 shotted once he figured our his weakness and it was made very clear Ichigo wasn't really ever having any problems with him at all.
I thought they were both alright, I was glad to see the Blutt-quincy guy's still somewhat alive. I thought it would be the same as last time Ichigo went from Hueco Mundo to the outside world, where he would smash through the barrier and appear right behind the enemy. But nope, Blutt-Quincy's still got some power in him and rightfully so after Urahara said he has a power worth mentioning
Naruto, again, okay, I'm just glad we've moved on from Sasuke's flashbacks. It looks like from this point shit is already going down, no more stalling. There were some good art panels here, especially the last one. I like Orochimaru so I'm glad to know he's still alive… although it IS completely out of nowhere, no forshadowing or anything, I thought he was done for when Itachi sealed him. I guess not.
Orochimaru's alive? Um…Okay sure, why not?
Bleach was frustrating. Maybe next week Ishida swoops in and does something...somehow. I'm glad the Qunicy are winning. Kinda drives me nuts that soliders that have trained for centuries are all "Save us Kurosaki-kun! You're our only hope!" (Not making a Star Wars joke, I swear). What the hell is Kenpachi doing? Better not be another he got lost gag. He can fucking fly there's no reason to be lost on the ground.
Bleach has two catchphrases, "Kurosaki-kun" and "Getsuga Tenshou"
What's the deal, Kubo? You make it a point to rush Ichigo away, then have Opie trap him in the Dangai World? Okay, perhaps that's a good source of suspense…...if you know.....all the Shinigami weren't counting on him to save them (Rin was actually crying for him) and everyone else being pushed aside?
Orihime and Chad aren't going with him? What happened to Nel, Pesche, and Dondachakka? Are Harribel's fraccion dead? Where's Ishida?
Stop focusing on Ichigo so damn much......
nel and co were with orihime and chad. Nel appeared in one panel of this chapter. The rest are probably dead
Well, looks like Chad makes it 2-12!

Actually my questions were more rhetorical to complain about Kubo's over-focus on Ichigo, but thanks.
Hm. I didn't mind Naruto this week. Snakey being alive is a bit random, but they rest of it was alright. I think Naruto taunts to Tobi were kind of cute.
Bleach. What are you doing?
Bleach: Oh for pity sake Kubo, can you at least try something different to incapacitate Ichigo. Seriously, trapping him in Hueco Mundo again. Just..ugh. Still good exposition chapter, least we know how they work now.
Naruto: @_@ I wish the author would pick a battle and stick with it. This is getting annoying flip flopping to one battle scene after the next. And yeah I'm not surprised Orochimaru is still alive, probably still trapped in the Genjutsu.

Do you mean Itachi's sword?
I could see Tobi being connected to orochimaru some how wether it be chakra or something weird. And it looks like urahara caught an arrow to the back
I thought that was because he just found out Tobi isn't Madara.
I think he did to, but he is also the oldest Uchiha, who is now miraculously alive (not really)..So, I'm sure Sasuke has some questions for him, as he did with Itachi..
Man… I decide not to read Bleach and Naruto for a few months, and I see Ichigo BACK in Hueco Mundo!?!?

Oi, I'm off to twitte to forward this to Kubo.
What does it say about Oda that no women are getting stabbed, but plenty of muscular or rubber men are? Notably by the fingers of other men….
Both Robin and Nami were stabbed. Robin in the gut by Crocodile, and Nami in the heel by Doublefinger.
I miss the Fullbring days, Bleach is just boring now, there is nothing to be made fun of.
On the positive side, at least we know Kubo reads back in his old chapters.
"Alright, so how did Uryu get out of that fight with Kurotsuchi alive?"
flips through pages
"WHAT? HE CAN TURN HIMSELF INTO HIS OWN MEAT PUPPET? HOLY SHIT, PAST ME, YOU'RE A GENIUS!"
"Man, people are gonna love this! I'm such a prodigy"
So, tell me: if Kubo could travel to the past, what would be the first thing he did ?
Outside of making out with himself, of course.

"You can save soooo much ink and time by just not doing backgrounds."
I wonder how will Sasuke talk to Orochimaru when Itachi sealed him using his uber sword??
Also, I'm still hurt by you guys rejecting my idea for Redneck Isshin.
IT HURTS SO MUCH.
@Cyan:
"You can save soooo much ink and time by just not doing backgrounds."
I would actually prefer this, because then the series would be over by now.
Naruto
"What is a clan?"
A group of people tracing descent from a common ancestor.

hamlet and a town.
"What is a shinobi?"
A member of a class of 14th-century Japanese mercenary agents who were trained
in the martial arts and hired for covert operations such as assassination and
sabotage.
"What am I?"
A git.

"I think after fighting against me you might have realized that I'm not the kind of person that would let himself be bound by such a jutsu."
Oh really? You're not the kind of person who would be bound by a jutsu that defies the laws of life and death and creates an army of mind-controlled zombies with infinite chakra? THEN WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF JUTSU WOULD YOU BE BOUND BY?!!!
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/592/6
Wow. I'm so glad Kishi made such a large spread for such a pivotal and meaningful moment.
–-------
And then of course Orochimaru is coming back. What-the-fuck-ever. Can't say I'm surprised. As for the man who knows everthing......well, I'd say it's Kishi, but no, even he has no fucking clue what's going on.
Bleach
Kubo: "Hmm, I've got this awesome cliffhanger idea where Ichigo is trapped in a cage, unable to help SS. So what do I put in before that to meet my page quota? Hmm….......Oh! I know! I'll just recap a bunch of stuff I've already explained before. After all, I want to be sure the audience completely understands everything, and I know they don't like to think too hard."
Seriously, it's like that line from The Muppet Movie.
"Fozzie, you can't tell them the whole story. You'll bore the audience."
Page 2 of Naruto… Page 2... Why Kishi... What's the point? ... (If you don't understand what I mean, it's Kishi having Sasuke turn on his Mangekyou for no reason, wasting time and space.)
And Sasuke has questions and doesn't just want to kill off everything. He wants to know stuff now. How cute.
So at this point, I wouldn't doubt the following. Remember that story where the Sage of the 50 Paths had 2 sons? I bet so much that Kishi is going to have dumb Tobi be one of the brothers that was that ancient ancestor of the Uchiha. Watch Orochimaru having evidence of the other Senju ancestor, and somehow putting everything into place. In this manner, Sasuke becomes better than even Madara... Balls.

Why can't he just be Madara's brother?
Why can't he just be Madara's brother?
Oh, he could be. But I think with all of this Sage talk, the possibility of Sasuke wanting to or being able to talk to an ancient figure like the Sage, through Edo Tensei, then I'm thinking that Kishi will force it that route. It would apply greatly to the theme of hate that Kishi so desires at this point, and Sasuke gets an Uber-Upgrade in Eye Powers.
And it's not hard for Sasuke to learn Edo Tensei. He'll EMS Orochimaru, Orochimaru will tell Sasuke how to do use the technique, and summon whatever/whomever is in the scroll that Juugo and Water-man found.

Especially when he has eyes that are SUPPOSED to copy techniques. :getlost:

When was the last time they ever did that? lol.
I'm glad Opie is still around, he's the best thing about BLEACH now. Also some plot progression in Naruto. Neither chapter was all that bad, really.
