weirdo chapter this week, hopefully this fight ends next week
Bleach Discussion Part 2
-
-
This chapter was a gas, these fights are shaping up to be a far cry from the Hueco Mundo fights.
Hmmm, so Yumichika has a broken arm now. C'mon, bankai!
Oh, Gin. We still love you and your ambiguity. still wants a Matsumoto and Gin showdown
-
What a scary way ta end a chapter…
-

You wish. There'll be at least two chapters per pair. So the whole lieutenant vs flaccion story will consume at least 8 chapters… 8 boring chapters.
-
Wouldn´t it be too much if Yumichika had a bankai too? meh,if everyone has a bankai it´d be a lil loony (if it ain´t already xDD)
I hope these fights´ll finish soon too - I want to get to the main dish^^ -

I hope these fights´ll finish soon too - I want to get to the main dish^^Unlike most of the other VCs and such there, Yumichika with Bankai isn't that farfetched: Ikkaku promised to teach it to him and he was doing Bankai training in the human world. So he could have it and it wouldn't be such a big deal compared to…say, Hisagi or Oomaeda or any other VCs...well outside Matsumoto.

This chapter made my eye's burned but I feel more sorry for yumichika who has to stare at that "thing"

Damn right i wish
meh think im gonna not read bleach until school starts in september, then hopefully all this will be over
-
No point in not reading it the chapters take 2-3 minutes of your time. And that's only if you stare at the poorly drawn large beams of what the fuck ever people are dragging along side them as they skip from place to place. Bleach is going down the fucking toilet….
-
@MB.:
Bleach is going down the fucking toilet….
At least it's better than Naruto. I don't read that anymore myself, but my sister has read the latest chapters, and for about half a year now, she's been constantly telling me how crappy and retarded the series has gotten, and she now pretty much hates it herself. At least Bleach doesn't constantly introduce plot-twists that only serve to cause extreme facepalming.
And it's not like Bleach ever was a fantastic series anyway. I'd give it a 7/10 at best… It's entertaining enough to keep watching/reading, but it's not exactly something I'm holding my breath for every week.
-
My friend believes that bleach is a masterpiece…I told him he's an idiot.
-
A masterpiece? No.
It's fun, well-characterized, and well-drawn, but a masterpiece? No.
-
No ending in mind, huh? Hoooooooo, boy.
-
wow…i thought that was a woman for a second
-
Seems like he based Yumichika on himself?

I remember my days when I'm still trying to get the number one spot of Comics and Animations section in Yahoo Answers by answering the questions of anime and manga fans. I've observed that Naruto has a popularity decline among the shonen group (12-17 year olds) but the reverse is true for the seinen group (18+). I'm already 20 and I like all the things happening in Naruto right now. For me, Naruto is far better than Bleach. And those in the shonen group, they all think Bleach is better than Naruto.
-
People aren't mature enough to appreciate Naruto
-
(sees Kubo pic) And that probably explains Iba's sunglasses.
-
I always wanted to know what kubo looked like. Saw a picture of dean koontz and man didn't expect him to look like that.
-
Why are you all bashing Bleach. It's not horrible. it could be worse. I still read it every week and somewhat enjoy it. I still think Naruto is ok to. My opinion changes alot but I still think Bleach is the 3rd best series out.
-
I read bleach for entertainment, not for plot really. I still like it though
-
No ending in mind…
Now I don't have any hope for Bleach left, I expected that it would end next year- then it would have been at least better than Naruto all in all... -
No ending in sight?! What the hell is Kubo going to pull out of his ass to keep it going? IMO the entire series revolves around Aizen. Once Aizen is gone the manga is over. So, I guess he's going to keep Aizen alive for a long while. He's not going down this Arc, and next arc THE KING!!!
-
I'm guessing the Hell Arc will start after the Aizen Arc is over?
-
If it does start then I don't know what the heck Kubo is thinking. Aizen is already broken in terms of power, having Ichigo fight anything stronger is going to be even more deus ex machina.
-
I actually look forward to new bleach chapters weekly.
-
I look forward to them as well, just they usually don't matter to anything until the end of the month. So little in each chapter. I mean just this week. we have pointless little blade spar. The chapter ends with him unleashing his sword. Or in unleashing pose, whatever.
Yet in One Piece we so to speak so speak as in bleach terms. See a person who released last chapter fight, and then 3 others this chapter alone release and attack. plus we also some some ichigo (strawhats) action as well
-
The audience likes his chair, it’s very modern…and he based Aizen’s chair off of it. Huh.
-
that made me chuckle
-
I hope this will put a rest to everyone claiming Bleach will end soon, so it looks like either Aizen has more tricks up his selves, or we're gonna get a few more, or a lot more enemies!
-

Isn't Aizen "just" twice as strong as a captain + hax zanpakuto? Many mangas raise the powerlevels by much larger factors. I don't see where another powerup could possibly come from though. After bankai and the hollow mask the only thing Ichigo hasn't mastered is Kidou.
-

deus ex machina? can you even use the term in that context? I thought that writing tool was used to tie up loose ends not make more?
-
I think she means pulling it out of his ass seeing as how most Deus ex Machina's come out of people's asses a la "DARK MAGIC RITUAL!!!!!!"
-
I allways thought that dues ex machina ment that characters getting too strong or something happening that doesn't logically make sence to recent events…was I wrong?
-
Sorry, but yes you were wrong. Deus Ex machina is latin for God of the Machine a common plot device used to pull writers out of corners and end their stories. The name Deus ex Machina comes from when the Greeks would have someone playing a god desend by use of a crane, or mechane, to deliver the last lines of the play, wrapping it up with some god modding.

Thanks Zkaizer and Gorlom, now I know.
-
Zkaiser did a good explanation, but here's the official dictionary definition:
deus ex machina |ˈdāəs eks ˈmäkənə; -ˈmak-| noun
an unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation, esp. as a contrived plot device in a play or novel. -

And it seems it needs to be revised (if you still think that definition is appliable the way you used it), so that it's more clear that it is used to end story arcs rather then start them.
Edit: and given that there's a lot of time left untill Aizen goes down I wouldn't bet any money on "unexpected".
-
so…any spoilers?

It sounds like this is most likely the ability Yumichika used against Shuuhei…which makes sense since we never saw it happen, just Yumichika preparing to release it and Shuuhei's later response. I guess it's better than Bankai since Coolhorn is the first fodder...er, Fraccion down.
-
There's a new Bleach PSP game coming out in Japan
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/38021.html -
-
Hmm, If I had a PSP, I'd probably get it. Looks fun to play as Noitora.
-
Summary of the chapter up: Asa Kujaku's full power is just sick! (basically Yumichika's weapon turns into vines and any absorbed reiatsu it received turns into flowers on the vine…somehow now the image of him stealing Shuuhei's reiatsu is disturbed) Coolhorn is no more, pretty much...and Ikkaku actually cracks up at the fight.
-
That sounds rather neat and that bleach game looks interesting, 2 of my fav espada as playable characters = awesome.

Ohcraptentacles.
Just what this fight needed.
-
Hah, so called Yumichika puking in that fight.
But yeah, let's hope the other 3 have fights as quick as this. While I'm not interested in the Uliquorra fight (though I still call cockroach release), I would like to see Stark, Halibel, or Barrigan fight the good fight. Also, I'm vaguely interested in Shuhei's shikai.
