Script for chapter 242:
! Title: Two Men are Burning
! *Cover is Chad and Ishida
! Sidetext: If they swing their swords because of their "mission/orders", then I punch for my "bonds"!! And I shoot my arrows in order to "protect"!!
! Ichigo and company are running down the long passageway. Per Ishida's guesswork, they must be in an underground tunnel because there are no windows despite the passageway being so long. Apparently if the building were destroyed they'd be trapped alive down there.
! Ichigo and company then come to an open area where there's a staircase. Ishida goes to check it out but another arrancar (one who sort of resembles the one who fixed up GF in volume 3) appears.
! The hollow chasing behind them catches up to them as well (it seems to have dreadlocks or some other reggae-style hair).
Ichigo tries to fight them by himself but Ishida and Chad stop him.
! Ishida says that according to what he learned from Urahara, the arrancar squad that Grimmjow brought with him to the real world was a mixture of gillian and adjucas. Apparently when menos are turned into arrancar, the only ones that have a 100% guarantee of having a human form are the Vastroode (as he's explaining this, pictures of Ulquiorra, Yammy and Edorado show up).
! Out of the other two types of menos, most of them end up not resembling humans and instead keep their low intelligence and near hollow appearance.
! The two in front of Ichigo and company are likely ones that are still close to being hollows so Ishida and Chad should be able to take them out.
! The one with the dreadlocks is named Demoura. The one with tentacles is names IceRinger.
! The initial match-ups just don't seem to be working well as Ishida and Chad can't seem to beat their opponents, but thanks to Ishida's quick wit he has Chad punch Demoura (who Ishida was likely fighting originally). We don't know if Demoura was defeated or not.
Ishida then takes out his Quincy pendant and creates his bow (the bow resembles the pendant).
! The chapter then ends with Ishida saying, "…Well then, let's start our counterattack."
@Myoti:
I've reached the Ichigo/Renji fight in SS, and honestly, I was bored. :|
Does it get any better than this, and has Ichigo fought with the Grand Fisher again? That's something I really want to see.
Quite honestly, I find most of Bleach's fights pretty boring…except for Kenpachi's fights (and who would've tought he'd be the one to have the only strategic fight of all Bleach), and a couple of others.
It's the story, arts and overall "cool" feeling of Bleach that keep me interested....but yeah, the best parts of Bleach have yet to come.
