Must have read that wrong. I wasn't really a fan of that arc.

Are you talking about Zoro getting a 1-KO hit on Hordy early on in the arc?
Yeah thanks that's what I meant. I am kind of coming down from an writing all nighter and I'm not good at remembering lots of battle data when I've been rested lol. I read so much manga I think I just absorb general points now.
Figure out strategy to beat Obito's Kumoi, teleport back in reality. Kakashi ladies and gentleman! He hasn't always been the smartest, since you know, instead of telling Obito the truth he moped and practically sat there for suicide. Sure Obito wouldn't have believed him, but still if you have justification MAN UP AND USE IT! Don't just go:
"You killed my gf! It's all your fault" "Oh, okay…"
I'm sorta not understanding something. The Zero Squad got promoted to that position for being crazy strong right? Why did they need to aqcuire that amount of power? Is the Soul King super weak to have that many safe guards? I thought that the strongest type of Hollow the Shinigami ever encountered up until a year or so ago in Bleach universe were the Menos until Aizen started making his own hybrids? And that the higher level tiered Hollows were pretty much just eating each other and putzing aroung HM beore he got there. But I also m not fully getting why Hollows exist in SS in the first place.
But Kubo has long forgotten this fact.
Nah One Piece can be predictable at times, the most important thing is that One Piece is predictable because Oda is great at foreshadowing plot points, even when you think something is unpredictable when it happens, most of the times, if you go read past chapters it shows that the clue were always there.
I'm in love with your signature. Maybe you should decrease the frame time a bit to make it smoother though :)

You may want to start taking notes in a notepad document or an Excel one with lots of hyperlinks. I'm starting to have to because it's becoming impossible for me to remember characters' names unless they're featured prominently. But of course, I would only do this for series you think you're going to have to debate on a forum or series you really like.
Ichigo's Bankai was destroyed before.. still remember that his black kimono was part of his bankai?
Aizen did broke Hitsugaya's bankai in chapter 170. but its not the sword. so like Itchigo's case, the one that broke was not the main sword.
if Mayuri can fix bankai by remodeling them, why didn't he just do that? why there are no incentive to research this technology because of how important bankai are. and why before this nobody ever really care to what happen to their bankai? if you use something so important and cannot be fix 100% why everybody just recklessly using them? why nobody ever told Itchigo about that. ithigo is their savior every time.

16 chars of Fucking served!
Did anyone notice how the Squad Zero came down, out of nowhere, fashionably late, with a big ass smile on their faces? SS is in ruins, but not only they're late, they also smile for no reason. Does Kubo think they look cool that way?

It seems to me that almost nothing was left of Renji's Bankai when Byakuya was done with him. So…

Nice post as usual, Gliblord. Long time lurker on the forums, just felt like coming in with my two cents. Love the blog project by the way.
Whenever I read Bleach lately it's always been a quick read to see how far Kubo can go just by phoning in every chapter he draws. Shows how lack of effort can still net you a steady income in any line of work.
Makes you wonder if he had planned the plot progression of Bleach, or if he worked with a writer and focused on drawing, it could have been so much better. Sooooo much better. Such wasted potential.
What could have been:
Characters like Tatsuki and Keigo could really have used a power boost and developed unique abilities during in the Hueco Mundo arc. They could have possibly came in and the last moment to to assist Ichigo. Too bad the only so called 'abilities' they had was in anime filler. It would have been interesting to see Tatsuki kicking hollows' ass with karate moves. Dunno abt Keigo though.
Chad really should have shown more of how his abilities could have developed and not examine the floor so closely. His whole right arm defense, left arm attack was pretty cool, of course Kubo throws it away to focus on boobs and the brooding strawberry.
Fights should really have some strategy to them instead of 'LOL I am faster than you' shock face. Remember when Ishida and Renji used some semblance of strategy to take down Szayel Granz? Yeah that led to nowhere.
Kido and different fighting tactics could have possibly played a role in some battles instead of just 'my reiatsu is stronger', 'nope, I am stronger!'.
The vizards should have really been a neutral group in the Fake town arc. Or at least fought with the Espada properly and not job out to Aizen.
The post by Glib on how Nel could have been used for conflict - being a hollow and still friends with a shinigami was one plot point that could have been brilliant if used by any other mangaka with a good feel for his characters… Alas, Nel, we hardly knew ye.
Sigh, wonder W_hat If_ ya know? Proper writing instead of going style over substance. And now we have the zero squad added to the already huge cast of under-developed characters. Big whoop. Odds are they probably won't get much character development and job out to Bach and Aizen's tag team.

First picture doesn't work and the one below the "hopeless Ichigo" pic says "no hotlinking".
Also
Yes, the guy who was portrayed as essentially invincible in the novel series Kubo declared canon. Offscreened to show off what a strong guy the villain is. Gag me.
That wasn't even Bach, but a random subordinate posing as him. To the point of exchanging classic "revenge" banter with Yamamoto.
In fact it would be good to analyze just how much of a non entity this whole switcheroo was up until the moment when Kubo contracted another aneurysm of "They'd never guess this !" and made it happen.

Weird, those images work for me, but I'll change them out anyway
I referred to the doppelganger thing obliquely in the caption of the accompanying image.

Doesn't seem as evident realy. And you should mention it, methinks, because it takes this ridiculously broken concept, and then trashes it in an absolutely hilarious way.
Bleach faboys trying to excuse Kubo's fucked up explanation with Renji's Bankai.
"But Mayuri said that Akon repaired Ikkaku's Bankai, so he probably repaired Renji's too!" despite the fact that Mayuri didn't even imply such a thing, and also said that specifically the parts which were destroyed by Byakuya are still missing, even though his whole Bankai was oblirated and not just some parts.

Not to mention, you'd think somebody would have told Ichigo this. Seems like information they might have wanted their savior to know beforehand, just in case.
This is what he said to me:
I was referring to Renji's zan disappearing after his fight with
Byakuya.What Mayuri said,is that some parts,broken by Byakuya are still
broken,thus weaker,not broken as in shattered.If Ikkaku's busted Bankai could be
merged back in one,why couldn't Renji's?The only thing Mayuri mentioned about
numbers was the joints in renji's bankai,not the parts themselves.Renji
implied he would lose to Grimmjow's subordinate,back in the beginning of the
Arrancar saga,but he Ilfort,wasn't nearly as impressive as Byakuya,when he
fought Renji.Why can't you get this ![](http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF smilies/6hq895.gif)?
Oh right, so because Renji thought he had a change against Byakuya, yet said that he would lose against Ilforte (who was much weaker than Byakuya), means that Renji acknowledged the fact that he got weaker since Byakuya destroyed his Bankai. But… Renji was wrong about him having a chance against Byakuya, as we've witnessed in their fight. Byakuya was still far above him.

Hells yes, I will read this ASAP
EDIT: Good stuff as usual, man.
I see there's somebody else on board with the Zangetsu = Bach theory
I don't see why I wouldn't agree with the idea. If it sounds batshit with Kubo, he will make it happen in a hilariously bad way. And with the infamous mysterious foot. Kubo might have a foot fetish. Like a food strip tease or something strange like that.
Kubo doesn't have a foot fetish (Kishi on the other hand has an apparent fetish). He is just a really…really lazy writer when it comes to creating suspense (or drawing anything in general).
Kubo: Hmm, how am I going to introduce a character in a "mysterious" way without giving away their identity. AH! I know, I'll just throw another foot scene. There we go. No one will ever guess who that is." His remarkable use of panels never fails to astound me. He should mix it up and add silhouettes for introducing "mysterious" characters, but we know Kubo (for whatever reason) will end up mistaking silhouettes with black faces. (Honestly, I still can't get over this ridiculous panel)
I think this is the que for Ichigo's sword to be fixed through pure bulls**t
So who's gonna be the slowpoke of the juubi madara or obito seriously take the tails and the arms and its like the shellder when he bites one.
And for the ultimate monster kinda likes very simplistic especialy comparing with the bijuus design.
Yeah well Kishimoto clearly wants to rush to the end of the manga now. Wonder what manga he wants to do next. Gods hope he makes a shorter one next time.
Well, the only Squad Zero member that's not smiling must be Kirio Hikifune. Unless Kubo trolls us once again and makes her the heavyset smiling woman.
@Fire Fist:
Well, the only Squad Zero member that's not smiling must be Kirio Hikifune. Unless Kubo trolls us once again and makes her the heavyset smiling woman.
How so? The only thing we know of Hikifune was that she was a mother figure to Hiyori, nothing about her appearance or tendency/lackthereof to smile.
I hope she is the larger woman. I figure she'd swap back and forth bewteen glomping Haiyori and then hitting her…Cause that brat is super annoying.
Its evened out by the fact he isn't gonna be fighting again, anytime soon - given he's in a coma.
Yeah thats true. I see Byakuya eventually permanently dying in a heroic effort, it'd give him a happy ending (being reunited with his deceased wife). But I could always be wrong
So hows Tsunade doing :ninja:
@Money:
So hows Tsunade doing :ninja:
shes taking a break
Things were looking pretty hairy, so she had to split.
I bet you Naruto will use the most OP ninjutsu on the Ten-Tail Beast.

"What's your name?"

I don't get these naruto fights, they have the power to make giant ass water/fire/lava balls or summon monsters or whatever silly techniques they have but all they do here is just throw massive shurikens at eachother. It's not as if they've ever been useful.
Naruto just needs to defeat it with the 3 questions from Holy Grail. The original Talk no Jutsu.
Oh Christ, I was rummaging through my google documents page which I haven't used in ages, and I stumbled upon this gem I copied from somewhere on AdultFanFiction.net (I was searching for badfic for Godawful Fanfiction, back when it existed)
I was originally going to try to follow the guidelines in the lulziest way possible, but it was too hard so I quit (unfortunately the page doesn't seem to exist anymore)

::BOOK 03:: The Dark God’s Son Series: Sealing Destiny
::BOOK 04:: The Dark God’s Son Series: Dealings with Demons
::BOOK 05:: The Dark God’s Son Series: At the tip of a Blade
And here were my preliminary ideas for actually fulfilling these stipulations
Each chapter is exactly one-fourth third person. I'm combining this stipulation with the stipulation for shifting character perspective, because badfic authors don't seem to understand that that's a fundamental aspect of all writing. I will be ignoring every stipulation I don't understand (what the hell is a "balanced genre conflict"?), but every other stipulation I will adhere to faithfully. Also, each "book" will be the length of a chapter, because I simply cannot be assed to write that much. I'm not that much of an asshole. I have no idea who Dou Maxwell is, so his religiosity is gone. And what does "their training must be better" mean? More intense? More results? What?
Mystery – Discovering Kyuubi's sad, sad story
Romance – Orochimaru and Naruto both luv Jiraiya
Action – Naruto's time seal mastery against shadowy new opponents!
Drama – Sasuke reunited with his long-lost twin!
Angst – Sasuke can't wank hard enough and he cries while wanking
Naruto:
*Lesser shinigami powers: power over squirrel mortality
*Naruto's kekkei-genkai (trapezoid-eye) allows him to make any trapezoid he sees into a time seal, which (if it's large enough) he can step into to travel in time
*Naruto's new, superoriginal jutsu– chidorigan!
"The sharingan can't copy this attack!"
"Why?"
"Because I'll never use it against a Sharingan user!"*Naruto wears an ANBU mask, which Hokage Asuma is chasing him after
*Naruto meets the other Jinchuuriki at Club Jinchuuriki, which is a cave with a disco ball in it.
*Uzumaki clan– their kekkei genkai-- Kyuubi chakra doesn't hurt them from inside (Naruto is the first clan member where this is relevant)
*Tutored by Sakura
*Naruto meets Itachi at the Jinchuuriki Club, where he bartends.
*Naruto travels with Haku because he's assigned there since he's such a high-ranking seals master.
*Naruto speaks Haku's language of vague creepiness, and also knows body language fluently.
*Kyuubi bursts forth from Naruto's belly-button when he submitted to a moment of weakness and wanks. His bond with Sasuke increases.
*Kyuubi's rampant horniness is a side-effect of Orochimaru's experiments. He sniff couldn't help himself from attempting to slaughter an entire village!
*Haku helps the poor and downtrodden by encasing their brains in ice cubes
*Sasuke, Shisui and Itachi are all completely innocent, and form a barbershop quartet with Tobi
*Uchiha Fugaku is… Zetsu! AAAAAAH!!!
I love how they're okay with male pregnancy but they draw the line at Sai existing.
Male baby birth…...... ow
Okayish Bleach chapter is okayish.
I can't wait to see the whole premise of the arrancar arc (Aizens quest for the royal key) come crashing down when Kubo starts "exlpaining" the kings realm,
Let's just say it would be the greatest thing EVER, if next chapter, Aizen runs out of the rubble, jumps into the pillar, and yells SO LONG SUCKERS!
BLEACH END
Oh Kubo, all would be forgiven. Greatest gag manga of all time.
Oh Christ, I was rummaging through my google documents page which I haven't used in ages, and I stumbled upon this gem I copied from somewhere on AdultFanFiction.net (I was searching for badfic for Godawful Fanfiction, back when it existed)
Okay, the story structure stuff is rine, thats good writing and the challenge.
But are the next 35 things ALL REQUIRED or are they just individual jumping board idea suggestions? Basically someone wanting to write a fanfic but have someone else do the work for him?

From what I gathered, yes, somebody wanted a an epic fic series written for them with ALL of those requirements. A hearty laugh, that.
I'm still hung on the fact they want stuff like Sasuke's long lost twin brother and other equally apocalyptically awful ideas but the idea of Sai actually existing in a Naruto fanfiction is just not allowed.
Wanna bet on Naruto beating Obito by becoming friends?
I like how her vision of Naruto that`s more to her liking is so removed from canon that, really, in what way would this be Naruto anymore
So she wants Naruto to NOT be booksmart, but also know multiple languages.
'Kay.
So she wants Naruto to NOT be booksmart, but also know multiple languages.
'Kay.
Maybe he's just a travel buff and can speak a lot of languages, but not read or write in them.
Still can't over the fact that Obito is doing all of this because his childhood crush died. That's second on to…what's his name, NotAizen, wanting to eliminate SS because they were spying on him.
Just petty.
Why does Emosuke want to still destroy Konoha?
