I looked at Bleach Wikia. Didn't find anything worthwhile about headless star. But apparently there's a song suggested to listen to while reading for every chapter.
So please read this chapter while listening this:
Naruto and Bleach V - The Not-So-Final Frontier
-
-
c'mon, you know you didn't really mean that.
Yeah i didn´t… but seriously, look at them titties in that cover page.
I´ve seen a lot of those in FT, but never with that shape or size.
It´s like she exaggerated in the silicone implants size... -
Bleach: Well…..first off, more could've fit into the chapter, not just "Ichigo/Orihime/Chad talk + Bazz-B talks smack"
But screw it. I thought it was a breath of fresh air to have Ichigo not angst and basicially go "alright, I'mma going knock some sense into Ishida". And Chad! Chad calls him out at the beginning, plus Orihime quirkiness. I can't hate that, guys. I love it. ....does it contrast horribly with the seriousness of the past few chapters? Well yeah, that's Kubo comedy for ya.
oh and Urahara's back.
Renji vs. Bazz-B, cue the smack-talking
Naruto: Kaguya moves around….Naruto and others try to make sense of the situation....Sasuke's alone...
oh yeah, Obito's up and running, ready to do his part. aw man, I thought we were done with him. But go ahead, give us the expected "sacrifice = redemption" moment, Kishi. Go ahead.
black Zetsu is seriously annoying me, though.
-
I like how Kishi is clinging to his concept that chakra is somehow limited. Everyone's probably run out of chakra 2 or 3 times by now, but they're still casting their spells like nothing happened.
edit: why has there been nigh on 10 years of these threads already
-
My very first memories of Black Zetsu is him providing exposition on the Itachi v. Sasuke snoozefest. It's kind of a shame how white Zetsu turned out to be nothing more than a random fodder creature the Black Zetsu Lamebiote had merged with.
-
lol I just realized I posted in the new thread.
huh….how about that.
-
So Naruto recently went Bleach on us with Aizetsu and now this week Bleach is going Naruto on us with Ichigo and Uryu turning into Naruto and Sasuke. Ok then…
-
So, does anyone think these two series will end before this thread ends ?? With the pacing being shown here, me thinks not.
-
Oh - can we please have the main villain talk at some point? What the hell!
And Hagoromo spawns from Madara's loins??? Whatever… And he has time to compliment Ashura's previous successor or something - the 1st Hokage. How cute. Anyways - Hagoromo must have sensed that Naruto and Sasuke are in trouble in the realm of the dead - so he decided to show up and give the world some hope.
Time for the 1st to inherit some of Ashura's power and be like Naruto. We need another flying ninja that can heal everything - like the 4th's arms. I wonder when Obito will get the rinnegan before he dies. I mean why not? Toss in as much bullshit as possible - is my recommendation. Just go all out Kishi! You can do it!
_How much can you do? Just grab a ball and juggle.
All those balls in the air, How hard can it be?
So hard you're getting dizzy!
Keep those balls in the air, Keep those balls in the ai-air!
Balls in the air!_

I'm fairly certain that Kaguya got exactly one line saying "This boy is fast" rather than her magic sleeve talking but it's pretty disputable.
She's literally had like ten lines so far. Most compelling villain ever.
And yes, Hagoromo is coming out of Madara's junk, or rather, he's coming out of Hashirama's hand… which is placed above Madara's junk.
So now we have two time paradoxes here. Magic Time-Space Ghost and a zombie with the soul of a previous reincarnation in which the current reincarnation is still alive.
-
That color page is shameful. I mean I know he likes huge breast but damn man. Still i loved that face that fire guy made when he said he was going to kill renji and their banter was pretty good.
I don't really get the chad pep talk. Ichigo could have reached that conclusion on his own because he really doesn't know how to do anything else except hit things. Still it was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than naruto so it's got that going for it.
-
@Purple:
and a zombie with the soul of a previous reincarnation in which the current reincarnation is still alive.
Speaking of these souls, I wonder why only Indra and Ashura can do this reincarnation stuff? What was so special about them? Why couldn't Kaguya just reincarnate as someone else? Or Hagomoro or Hamtaro?
Forum user Bartholemew Bear passed away in a very moving and touching way. I, ARTEMlS, therefore carry on the Will of DArth for good unto its final fulfilment.
-
@Bartholemew:

Because they were really angry at each other! Hagoromo played favorites and Indra wanted his own ninja religion but daddy wouldn't let him. Or something. Whatever
-
Just wait until the next plot twist, when we'll be told that Sakura is Kaguya reincarnated :ninja:
-
How do you manifest a "will" anyway, and how come Sasuke and Naruto with their uber powers can't do the same to create an esoteric blob that sucks chakra and provides exposition on their behalf?
-
So now Sakura doesn't even heal anymore, people just tap her.
-
c'mon, you know you didn't really mean that.
Yeah its definitely not that bad, not even close.
–-
and i guess sakura has finally come to the realization weve all known for years. Kinda bad when your characters know they suck
-
And again, surprisingly decent Bleach chapter. Leagues above Naruto.
It was moderately entertaining and it didn't take 10 seconds to read. More like. . .1 FULL minute!!!!
-

That's actually somewhat explained: Hagomoro's spirit travelled to the future (yeah) or seems to be kinda-sorta reincarnated within his sons. Kaguya seems to have created Black Zetsu from her essence. Since she died in a battle, it might also be you need some sort of ritual to pull this off.
For Hamtaro: no clue, but it's not like we know jack shit about him, apart from him being the source of Byakugan, most likely. -
Yeah i didn´t… but seriously, look at them titties in that cover page.
I´ve seen a lot of those in FT, but never with that shape or size.
It´s like she exaggerated in the silicone implants size...it just made me remember how bleach used to have a fair amount of ecchi in it. Remember Matsumoto's school uniform, Yoruichi turning into a woman for the first time, or Kukaku in general?
hell, I think I first checked out the series because it had a volume cover like
!
-
^
Wow, looking at that cover makes me realize how bland the recent covers look, because they aren't even colored like this one anymore, but are exactly like the majority of kubos colorspreads nowadays, pretty liveless.
Also another cover in the same vein as this one was vol. 34 with nel on the front showing of her goodies.^^ -

-
Hey what ever happened to that one armed lady?
-
She's there, training the shitbringers I believe.
-
Bleach is making me overthink. More specifically, Orihime's giant swollen breasts are making me overthink. In that, how often have we had this kind of fanservice in this comic. For at least a few dozen chapters we're had handsome men fighting each other, and the only ladies are either plain or barely present like Rangiku. So…why is this color page here? Orihime could have easily worn a complete shirt. I dunno, maybe Kubo's just got tired of drawing thousands of handsome men. Funny, he never gave me that impression.
And...I think that's all that happened this chapter right? Chad and Orihime's breasts took like 15 pages right? I don't remember.
In Naruto, for some reason I'm waiting for Sakura to redeem herself. I dunno why, she hasn't exactly earned it. Still, that's the most interesting thing in this chapter. Also, didn't Obito lose his powers or something?

The Bleach chapter was all just a reaction to what just happened, nothings else. It wasn't bad, but dragged out and accomplished nothing, while also showing Ichigo never needed to come down in the first place. Especially since there are still so many other players on SS side. The numbers are clearly against the Quincy, before the RG comes into play.
-
:ninja:Sage Djinn Hagoromo will grant them three wishes, one of them will be used to revive Madara for the xth f*king time. Any guess for the other two wishes?
It's always Bazz-B the only highlighted character from all available Quinzis. Why him? Is he that popular among Bleach fans? I'm sick of him and his trashtalk, dammit. I'm starting to miss that slick-haired Aizen-lookalike Quinzi because he seemed like the most fun guy among his peers. And thanks to Kubo-style paneling jutsu, we can never know if there's something crucial happening in the other side of the battlefield. Half of the limited big panels were wasted to remind us of Ichigo's slow thought process.
Good Lord, have mercy for my sides.

Make it so that they revive only Madara's lower half. For Hashirama of course.
Other than that, I guess Tobirama would wish for unlimited wishes along with penning off the remaining Uchiha (all 1.5 of them), Sarutobi would ask for more screen time, and Minato would ask for a new brain, and I guess two more arms.

On the other hand, besides Masque de Masculine (who is dead already), which quincies actually have a notable personality, or really, any actual personality? We just went through the four girls, so… we're out of options now :/
-
Remember when the Vizard were a thing and actually looked like they'd be relevant?
Ah, the good old days.

The most recent thing I can remember fanservice-wise is Ichigo's mom being naked, and Rukia in the bath(remember the peach thing?). I'm not sure which was the earliest, it all the same.
-
At this point, I doubt that there's any more chance for Vizards to regain their relevance, seeing how easily they get offed. Masque de Masculine steamrolled two of them, while not even in Vollständig. In other hand, Shinji was ridiculed twice by two different Quinzis. These all happened because they forgot to equip their mask at all. What? Don't tell me they can't use hollow mask and cast bankai at the same time like Ichigo did! While there are still more of them remaining to show up conveniently later, I doubt they'll achieve anything the failed Vizards couldn't.
:ninja: Wait a minute… do you guys also think that the remaining Vizards could've been in Sacred Palace all along, waiting for Yhwach and co. to arrive?

Lol I know exactly what you mean about the masks.
The story spent years on the importance of how there were limits to hollows and shinigamis but a fusion of the two would provide essentially unlimited power.
How even being able to materialise the mask for a few seconds nearly allowed Ichigo to defeat a clearly stronger Grimmjow etc.
Now they've just completely forgotten about them apparently.
I dunno if maybe Yamamoto forbid them from using hollow powers inside sereitei or something but you know…it's a freaking war!
-
Kubo should just start making hentai doujins and get over it. White spaces, only a few characters doing weird faces, some huge breasted girls and mountain-of-muscle guys and he can buy a new table with his quotes on it any day he wants.

Oh, I know. Probably for the Vizards, relying on Hollow mask is a taboo now that they're given their position back as Captains and everything. They don't want anyone from SS to see them in such disgraceful state, even though it's a freaking war where their underlings die like flies.
Indeed if he was alive, old fart Yammamoto would probably prohibit them to do so because of some stupid reasoning, but it's f*cking Shunsui the one in command now. He's a combat pragmatist as far as I know, so he would make use whatever can be used to win, including allowing his Vizard Captains to wreak havoc in hollow masks. But hey, maybe I'm overestimating a commander who would prefer to have one Kenpachi instead of two.

Lol I had actually forgotten about the Kenpachi fight.
I suppose the best thing to take from it is better to have one all powerful Kenpachi rather than two subpar ones.

Knowing Kubo, like many things, he forgot about the hollow mask, or, decided that plot point was used enough. If it's the former, Ichigo is going to use it as an ass pull later on. If it's the later, then Kubo got lazy having to draw the various masks. Either way, it's stupid. Who want to play a guessing game of when certain characters will come in and how useful they will be? I'll start.
Fullbringers: Time guy will come in Hulk style and die, Ginjou will get a paper cut and die, and Tsukishima will come and Juhabach will smile that his old right hand man came to help.
Other Vizards: Will take down random quincies to get hyped, then do nothing. Hiyori will get shot in half by Ishida for "Mystery" of character.
Isshin: Will come in to teach Ichigo his final new Bankai form. Before this though he will attempt to take on Juhabach because he was somehow the one that killed his wife.
Yoroichi: Comes in, does a few blows, off screened
Aizen: Smiles, Just as planned, find out it was Ichigo's mother the whole time.
Ishida's Dad: Make a few poses to look like he's strong, but never contributes to the story.
The that haven't been shown since the second invasion: Whoever said those characters ever existed? -
@The:
Tsukishima will come and Juhabach will smile that his old right hand man came to help.
I need to see this. Hell yes.

Probably nowhere.
-
Out of the people I put down, I want the Aizen one to happen. Imagine the sheer trolling that would be, and how the hardcore fans would defend it.
-
I'm going to be honest, Aizen was infuriating and smug.
The neo-quincies are just boring as hell.
I'd take Sosuke back, I really would.
-
I agree. I even posted a few pages back why they fail as villains. Even if some people don't like the current arc, at least the villains in One Piece have interesting designs and powers.
-
Pretty much the only interesting one of neo-quincies was Mexican Wrestler Quincy.
Apart from him…nothing is going on.
-
Don Krieg was a better villain than these smug quincy douches.^^ And that is saying something.
-
Remember that time Aizen sent some of his minions to earth for whatever just-as-planned reason and the shinigami were getting their butts kicked? Then they got permission from the higher ups to release their seals and fight at 100%? Yeah, probably the same deal for the Vizard masks but instead of wanting to protect the environment, they don't want the Vizards using their masks because they're Hollow powers and Shinigami don't play that, nuh-uh.
@Franky Tank: I completely forgot Yoruichi existed.
Everything's Eventual…
-
^ That was one of the weirder moments. It wouldn't have been as bad if then characters started taking much stronger ones either with ease or struggled the same amount as when facing the weaker ones. Unfortunately that was one of the smaller problems of that arc. Also there's a lot of characters that not only people have forgot, but Kubo. I blame Tsukishima. He's always been a pain in my ass since we were childhood friends.
-
Heh, Yoruichi. When was the last time we saw her? I honestly can't remember. Even though she was supposed to be a powerful figure, nothing she did was really noteworthy in my eyes. Urahara at least has his "Plot Device" shenanigans.

It's even more dumb when you take into consideration that Quincies don't have hollow antibodies (I feel dumb writing that…).
