If this is the "entertainment" we're gonna get without Oda, then this will be a long two weeks.
Bleach: First things first…..Ichigo gets sent back....dude obviously didn't think of a plan...but...huh? Now he passes? What changed? I guess….knowing more about his identity and hertiage allowed him to pick the right one? (wait, is that his hollow form?). .......uh okay?
But finally we get a sense of plot progression. What's going on in Seireitei?
-Hitsugaya opts to return to the basics of swordplay. I like that he practically admits he overused his Bankai in the past, but I find it….odd the highest ranking officer of the 10th Division needs a crash course on fundamentals. I guess because he's young and inexperienced......
-Kensei wants Hisagi to use his Bankai. I find Hisagi extremely dull, and I honestly do not care for him. But hey, at least we get Mashiro! Probably my favorite Vizard. And even though Kensei didn't insult Tousen, why is Hisagi getting so pissy? You mean we should be cheering for traitors?
-Komamura....goes into a cave and SWEET JESUS WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! No seriously, what the hell is that?! A….mutant wolf blob??? Is Kubo about to reveal Koma's origin?.....well, I didn't think it'd be like THIS!
Not a half bad chapter.....things were really weird though.
Naruto: Team 7 my ass.
Eventually the other Hokages show up (oh god, that panel of Madara's excitement….) and seal the Juubi in a barrier of sorts. I'll be honest, that's freaking awesome. What's not awesome is what comes next. (also, the 4th has fox powers because...?)
Sasuke arrives. Thankfully people like Shikamaru, Shino, and Chouji have the sense to not fawn all over him, still remembering what he did to everyone. Too bad Sakura and Ino do not.
The whole "I'm gonna be Hokage" is perhaps one of the stupidest lines I've seen in Naruto. Why? Because it doesn't come from Naruto! Sasuke's redemption was already laughable at best, but he thinks learning of the village's skewed past qualifies him to be a leader? When he betrayed the village? When he actively plotted to destroy it? When he's essentially the anti-Naruto, in personality, upbringing, and ideals?
(at least the other ninja called bullshit on this)
groans Kishi said the final battle will be between Naruto and Sasuke. Friendly rival battle for the title of Hokage. Gag me now.
Also lol again if Sakura thinks she'll be useful.
