Naruto and Bleach IV- Sexy time

God of Skypeia

I did too, but I really noticed that the quality of the story went down after the Noah invasion arc, which I think was the climax of the series. It's a shame what happened to the author, unlike Kubo and Kishi, it was kinda out of her control, with the arthritis and plagiarism lawsuits.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

I like the whole series, but it did feel like something was "pulled out" when they revealed that it wasn't a game after all, just a test of sorts. And then there's the "aliens behind the whole thing" reveal and the ending was rushed. Yeah I guess it doesn't belong on the list, it was not bad but also not even close to OP tier either.

I checked out the D. Gray Man thread and someone said since they said it got pulled from the magazine it was basically cancelled. What exactly did she plagiarize anyway?

Gaahd, seeing how Kubo didn't draw Rukia's bankai, at least until next chapter, reminded me of poor Unohana and her Unohype bankai we didn't even know how it looked like.

It isn't officially out of the magazine. Is just like Hunter x Hunter, in indeterminate hiatus.

The plagiarism was so long ago! She was accused of plagiarizing Death Note, Clamp and other authors, but it was only readers accusations, it was never nothing official or anything(I believe, unless I missed something BIG :P).

Like Bigivel said, one of the major accusations involved Death Note. I saw an example of this long ago. The one scene where Miranda Lotto shows up again in China resembles a scene in Death Note where Mikami(?) is looking off into the distance or something. I also heard that some of her akuma designs were accused of ripping off from other literature.

@maxterdexter:

What if.. the Zetsus, each one goes and merges with a human.

Becomes it's life support, giving it nutrients and finaly having their dream of solid evacuation.

That way everybody could live their genjutsu lives without dying in 3 days of dehidation.

actually,in a genjutsu time is relative
do you remember itachi torturing kakashi for hours (days?) while in the real world less than a second had passed?

So, the war is a genjutsu? We have been tortured for 2 years already.

That makes me wonder, does anyone know how much time has actually passed in universe during the war in Naruto?

Yeah but like, you can't just keep assuming that time will be relative forever. Eventually the whole world population has to be fed at some point.

Danzo said the time perception thing was exclusive to Itachi's Tsukuyomi, if I recall correctly.

@David:

Because continuity and respect for the rules you write have always been Kishimoto's most important priority.

Purple Hermit

It would never happen unless it was a ONE manga or a pure gag manga, but what I would like to see in one of these sorts of manga is the big villain having his plan come to fruition only for it not to work because it was never tested in the first place.

So in this case, Madara successfully gets the flower to blossom and then he just stares at the moon, only for everyone to realize that there was never any threat of a mugen tsukuyomi the entire time. I mean, the sage sure didn't seem to bother creating a technique like that, so even that kooky gossip stone in the Uchiha basement shouldn't go into that. So what gave Madara the bright idea that if you become the ten tails' jinchuuriki that you can just stare at the moon and put everyone into hypnosis?

Daz

The weirdest thing about the Enternal Moon Eyeball plan was that Obito somehow assumed it would bring back Rin from the dead. I mean, that takes us reaaaaally far into Matrix territory, with sentient programs and whatnot.

Purple Hermit

It reminds me of the HAL arc in Neuro, where Harukawa was trying to bring back Setsuna, the patient who was a major failure for him, by using computer algorithms to eventually recreate her in silico.

Unlike Obito, though, both HAL and Harukawa came to the realization that that's fucking impossible.

2 days maybe, start of the war at afternoon, night when zetsu ambushed alliance, morning again when zombie released

@abyssal_snarf:

anything to make the obi haters squirm xD

naruto is a boring ninja to me how is he expected to surpass his predessesors with just rasengan and bijuubombs? its boring and lame compared to hashi and tobirama. even his armless dad is more badass than deaduto now.

This is pure gold. One of the funniest scenes in films :D. Spot on

I thought he said that Sasuke just sucked at it that is why his didn't alter Danzo's perception of time.

Late to the party.

I actually really dug this week's Bleach Chapter. Good to see Rukia getting Bankai, even though she'll be worthless when Ichigo shows up, still better then nothing.

Naruto was bleh.

Eight gates time please.

now Naruto going to have chakras of all 9 bijuus…

saringe015

This chapter did not need a flash back. You could have extended the fight scene or, even better, allowed for more plot development instead of inserting it into the chapter needlessly. And did Guy do anything of interest when Madara first enterrd the battlefield for him to warrant mentioning the fact that he ahd seen him before?

abyssal_snarf

wheres garaa? he run away?
wheres the gedous arm?
will obito die and give naruto his staff? how sweet <3
was hoping obito and kakashis team up would be combat based not just running away…. watevs it was cute

Razh

I'm surprised Madara actually said "Ringa" instead "that jutsu".

auem

some people seem missed the last page..Naruto generally doesn't carry page after the 'end' sign,but this chapter is exception…

kevo_koma

The Star has arrived people. Maito Gai the greatest Shinobi ever and the man who will win this goddamn war, hold on to your seats everyone this just become a lot more interesting.

In all seriousness though how awesome is Gai? When everyone else is using Sharingans, rinnengans, sage modes, bijuu, immortal zombie chakra. He's the only normal shinobi there duking it out better than the rest of them.

MasterKingJC

The last page was the only enjoyable part of the chapter.

Everything else was just business as usual.

benjamminbrown

Do not speak of him, lest he shall appear before you.

abyssal_snarf

i bet obito will die in kamui dimension with his eyes open and a smile just like nagato.
also in a way madara saving obito caused naruto to become the 9 tails jin and follow this path. i knew this was going to happen bc of the tnj with rin where she said ''me saving you is like me saving the world''
obito truly is a hero regardless of what the immature butthurt haters say. hes very important

baby-boo

Bleach is out! And …

What sort of fights are these? Foe uses a power, thinks he won, explains the power. Ally is unaffected, explains why, uses her new power, wins the fight. Stupid turn-based manga!

Louis-1988

Sounds like Gai is finally about to go HAM. Haven't been this excited about a Nardo chapter in quite a few years.

LightningAce

Finally, we get to see Yachiru fight at last, its about bloody time. He just better make it a good one and not dissapoint us but that is asking a bit much of him i guess.

Sander

Number of the Beast indeed… Green Beast of Konoha.

So is Guy the devil?

sealtiel

next chapter : yachiru got upper hand
after that : she got completely owned
after that : kenpachi come to the rescue

RobZilla

So now Kubo is stealing ideas from Doctor Who, for shame.

Yachiru Vs. A Silent.

At least Mangastream made a reference to how terrible the pacing in this arc has been.

kouch_lee

LOL at the Bleach chapter. Bring the check-list!

1-stupidly rushed, contrived, last-second effort at a lol-backstory for As Nodt that's not compelling even in the least? Check!

2- nii-samaaaaaa conforting Rukia? Check!

3- Surprise Attack From Behind tm? Check!

4- smug-ass dialogue in the form of "is that what you're about to say, right?" Check!

5- page-wasting drawings of near-nothingness? Check!

Fuck yeah, Kubo. Keep it classy!

I really hope you're right, cause it looks like she's already jobbed out…

Maybe she'll get up, but this chapter feels like she's getting the same treatment every other vice captain has gotten. It's disheartening, cause she's never even fought before.

Gliblord

So what IS her bankai

I doubt she's outta it. I'tll be a good combo of Yachiru and the healer - 1's an expert Kido user, the other, not sure but clearly she must be good combat wise….

Also, i didn't really get that beginning of the chapter.....what did that even mean?

Are you talking about the one also known as "please care for these villainous bastards" syndrome?

Her bankai is just a super powered version of the new ability she showed in her shikai form of freezin her entire body…..

So much like Hitsugaya it's essentially MOAR ICE

So who was Isane healing anyway? What are all those blankets for.

Prediction, neither Isane nor Yachiru will defeat this dude. That much should be obvious, though. It's going to be the person lying on the bed.

Who is Unohana!

She's healin the Captains who got their asses handed to them the previous day

Tongue-puncher

I hope you're all wrong and Yachiru and Isane show their mettle next chapter.

So did Rukia gain a bankai in the short time between the Fullbringer Arc and now, because Rukia was pretty pathetic against Riruka
