Aren't their TWO black haired Ichigo's now?
The other one being Renji ?
Or d'you mean that stupid ass "final" technique that didn't even finish Aizen off ?

Technically Renji has red-actually, it doesn't matter. Take away the eyebrows and remove the tattoos, you've got another Ichigo.
Where's that gif that shows all those male Bleach characters in white suits, and little facial things are altered to turn one into the other?
@Purple:
How does procreation work in soul society…?
When a mommy shinigami and daddy shinigami love each other very much….:ninja:
@No:

I believe he's referring to Hisagi and Kaien.
Of course, with Kaien, the similarity was intentional, and then it turned that they're related probably and what is this I don't even…
Haven't read the devilish duo in a very long time, have they started their slow and clumsy descents to cancellation yet?
@Pix:

Sadly, even with Bleach's anime cancelled, I think both of them have done too much for the magazine for them to ever be cancelled.
But they are both at least in their final arcs. Bleach could still continue a while with Kubo's pacing, but Naruto, with any luck, should be over within a year.
As for their quality, Naruto has been trapped in an atrociously slow-paced battle for about a year now, and Bleach, after returning from a 6 week long hiatus, has entered Fake Karakura Town War Mk. II, and immediately reversed a plot point that could have at least provided some tension.
The fake Karakura town thing is a really marvelous example of a bad author erasing all tension.
"Hmm, how to make this battle engrossing and full of consequence? Ah yes, I'll not make it the real town they live in, but a fake one."

And for added bonus, let's make every single thing that happens there utterly pointless since Aizen could have left at any time !

Of course, the defense would be "Aizen needed to evolve!"…..which is crap when you consider how powerful he is without Shikai, let alone with it.
A guy telling Naruto "Stop don't come inside me!" and then the following panel has Naruto smiling.
Just what I expected to read in a chapter of Naruto.
Naruto: I'll take that mask off your face
Obito doesn't have a mask on. Naruto already broke it.
Naruto is going to rip the flesh off Obito's face.
This just reached a whole new level…
Oh so THAT'S how the power of friendship moral comes full circle. With some ridiculous tug of war thing.
And now Naruto will tear will rip Obito's figurative mask off and reveal his true self!
….San Francisco isn't this gay.
There it is, the long awaited talk no jutsu.
And the worst part about this all is….Madara is still here. Which MEANS...expect another year of weird transformations, power ups, and the talk no jutsu finale. Oh and lets not forget the foreshadowing villainy of Sasuke. Oh boy, will that be a treat. The promised Naruto vs Sasuke thing which will be a predictable drag as well.
Y'know, the big empty white space thing showing Naruto and all his friends happens waaay to often to have any impact whatsoever. Assuming it had any to begin with. Also talk-no-jutsu. This series is just beyond predictable.
meh, talk no jutsu have been the strongest jutsu in Naruto universe all along. And Naruto shows potential for saving the world due to his talent at this jutsu.
Quincies: We took your powers away so we would be weaker when we killed you… yeah think about that for a minute...
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?
AIZEN MADE MORE SENSE THAN THIS LACKLUSTER CRAP THEY CALL A STORY ARC!!!
Bleach, where stuff just happens for the hell of it.
Nice chapter of Bleach. Finally we're going to see all-out fights.
Hei-ho: the tug-of-ninja-war!
And now, at least another chapter of boring talk… but maybe more than one, until the final conversion.
Then Madara.
Then Sasuke will do something stupid again.
Then... better not think about it.
Y'know, the big empty white space thing showing Naruto and all his friends happens waaay to often to have any impact whatsoever. Assuming it had any to begin with. Also talk-no-jutsu. This series is just beyond predictable.
This is no longer predicable writing. WE are now writing Naruto. The crap is flowing out of us. We are become Kishi. Happy Halloween kiddies
"Stop… Don't come inside me!"
Naruto for crappiest hentai manga ever!
Also, lolBleach...
So basically , the bankai stealing had no point to it whatsoever from the quincy perspective , and only served to power up the shinigami via hollowification.And there's literally no negative consequence to getting hollowified now? Shitsu seems all fine and dandy posing about.
Kubo, the plot can't get more contrived than this.

The point he wants to get clear to them, no matter what they try, no matter if they power up from losing their bankai, it won't be enough.
The Quincy changed, they evolved, their powers developed in a manner the shinigami couldn't comprehend , where as shinigami hvae been the same for 1000s of years….barely changing, over reliant on their bankai.
Also, i was worried for a moment Miss Bambieta Basterbine would die, i like the little psycho and with a name like that...well its really awesome..
"good guys" powerup, enemies powerup, good powers up more, enemies powerup even higher, ichigo saves the day. So yeah, how the **** has the SS lasted as long as it has if the Captains are useless (seems like this is repeated every single arc)?
Bleach, where stuff just happens for the hell of it
Kubo: still creating chapters by randomly pulling ideas from his "My Big Box of Ideas for this Week's Chapter" (we can only hope he wrote, "The End is Nigh: End the series in 10 chapters or less!", on one of those slips of paper and pulls it soon)

So in short: another unnecessary-overly-complicated scheme to have the Shinigamis feeling despair, and teaching them a lesson before killing them?
So in short: another unnecessary-overly-complicated scheme to have the Shinigamis feeling despair, and teaching them a lesson before killing them?
sure, why not? 16 char
This week in Bleach: Quincies finally remember that they have insanely broken abilities to use.
Also, the whole bankai stealing becomes increasingly ridiculous.
"We stole them so that you could feel despair, so you could regain them and feel hope, so we could transform and you could despair again!!!"
And we have a new villain who goes "yeah, I predicted that! The shinigami would not be idle!"
SS didn't do dick about it, except get bailed out by a guy they exiled.
And Hey brilliant strategist Ywhach, notice how the soldiers you've lost so far have been the ones to do the whole bankai stealing thing?
How about, and this might be insane to you,
OR they could give the medallions to lesser quincies, or have them steal them in the first place.
The thought that some people still think that Naruto and Bleach are good Mangas fucking scare me.
The point he wants to get clear to them, no matter what they try, no matter if they power up from losing their bankai, it won't be enough.
To show you the futility of trying anything at all against me, I will steal your strongest weapon , to ensure you can't train with that , and make you train the skills you haven't been utilizing efficiently for over a 1000 years.
Oh and 3 days should be enough to compensate for the 1000 years of training we received. You all are supposed to fall into despair from this , coz it wasn't like I needed to steal the bankai of the strongest guy among you to beat him.
Ishida is just chilling and watching the show.

yeah.. i really like her name.. lol
You know, I wish Kishi would throw in some more symbolism regarding Obito and Naruto. I'm not sure I get it yet.
Its like…theres some... vague similarities? Or something?

I just read the Naruto chapter out of pure boredom and of course its "Friendship wins" even with the final villain. Oh well, dont know what i expected. And the Thought transfer is such a lazy way of doing this, man its awful.

cough Its been longer than 3 days….4 or 5 probably......
So the sternritter stole the bankais…for essentially no reason.
They had these super powerful quincy final forms that they seem totally confident can beat the shinigami captains, even with their bankais.
...Cause Bleach's pacing wasn't slow enough without stuff like this.
Naruto continues to rewrite it's own rules and draw out Obito's incredibly obvious redemption by Naruto's hand.

I'm not sure what exactly stopped the Quinzies from going into Super Nazi Mode during the last invasion.
Can some one explain mewant happened in this week's Naruto chapter??
Coundn't understand shit.

Naruto is gonna redeem him and "tear off his mask"
other than that i didn't have a clue…
Bleach was a masterpiece compared to that.
Naruto chapter prediction:
653: Ethical debate chapter! Ends with Naruto giving an answer that rocks Obitos world.
654: Obito contemplates Narutos answer. Chapter ends with Madara smirking.
Or if Kishi really wants to milk it:
653: Debate chapter! Obito gives Naruto a question, the cliffhanger is him considering an answer.
654: Flashbacks galore, cliffhanger is Narutos answer
655: Obito processes the answer, and we exit the inner world as the cliffhanger
656: The day is saved?!?! Oh noes,Madara smirks, end chapter
@The:

Yeah it really doesn't make sense. They have the quincy final form/ vollstandig thing, which is really uber powerful like we saw with Ishida, and then with Kirge's even better version. They seem really confident at this point that even with the shinigami having their bankais, that they'll be able to wipe the floor with them. Having the bankais apparently actively inhibits their ability to use aforementioned awesome uber powerful form.
Also, Bach has apparently seen it coming from the start that the shinigami would get their bankais back.
So with this information we can ascertain that the Quincy plan was:
1. Steal the bankais, even though we could beat them if they still had said bankais, specifically with the thing that we can't use if we do steal their bankais.
2. Use the bankais to fight them with what are apparently weakened versions of said bankais, which our final forms were already stronger than, even if they were at full strength.
3. Lose stolen bankais, as has been predicted all along. Then proceed to use the final form that we couldn't use because we stole the bankais to beat the shinigamis with the bankais that we stole even though we're confident we could have beaten them in the first place.
…It literally makes no sense.
Both want to be hokage. Just that.
No, no, you misunderstood Kishimoto here. It's as clear as day: both won't get laid with a woman, if they don't change.

After Naruto & Sasuke hit Obito, the chakra from other beasts starts to leak out of his body, for no apparent reason. Some parts of this chakra got stuck in Obito's ass, so everyone joined Naruto & Sasuke in a ninja tug-of-war, trying to pull all the beasts out of Obito. Meanwhile, Naruto looks into Obito's heart and starts to cry, because… well, he is Naruto, but Sasuke stops it because... well, he is Sasuke. Some stuff about the power of friendship, just like Fairy Tail, then Naruto comes inside of Obito (don't ask!!!) and talk no jutsu can finally start.
This is no longer predicable writing. WE are now writing Naruto. The crap is flowing out of us. We are become Kishi. Happy Halloween kiddies
No Arlong Park, you are the demons.

Obito forgot about Rin's death because of his "i wanna be hokage" …
I get the feeling we're getting close to Kishi once again switching who the villain of his series is, just as soon as Obitio's "redemption" is completed in the next few chapters.
My guess is that it'll come back around to Madara, then probably a host-less Jubi, and finally Sakura (or Neji) to close out the series.

Ywhachs master plan:
Another thought: You know what would have prevented the bankai-reclamation debacle that proved problematic for Roboquincy and Quincy scarface Ichigo? If they'd killed their victims the first goddamn time around

Hahahaahahha
On the final pages, we see both roboquincy in the rubble, and Scarface ichigo quincy in his ice prison, activate their angel modes
Congratulations, the last months chapters, and the KEWL FINISHERS of Soifon and shrimpo in particular, are now even more pointless!!
@The:
Ywhachs master plan:

Ah but remember Bach had to leave because Aizen apparently distorted his judgement of how much time had passed…or something.
Yep. Within the space of 2 chapters we've had both the whole bankai stealing thing negated, the training the shinigami went through to deal with losing their bankais negated, and the actual point of the initial bankai stealing...you guessed it...negated.
Kubo is on top form.
