Naruto and Bleach: Let's put this thread to bed I
-

@The:
And now Hiyori has stolen Peronas face. Joy.
Bleach was more boring than bad, but that "badass" 2-page spread is just incredibly pathetic. Not only is it rich that Kubo tries making Ishida, Chad and Orihime look competent given their roles last arc, it's just a fucking lazy spread. No particularly dynamic poses, Chads arm isn't even powered up yet, Ishida just lounging in the back with that sad little bow…For a full two page spread which only basis for existence is to hype up the Mains in the eyes of a new character, which shows nothing new and has no real dramatic resonance, it was kinda underwhelming is all I'm saying.
Also, Inb4 Ivan is the top secret unmentioned totally not asspulled Aizen Science pupil who has been restoring the arrancar in order to bring them back as fanbai- I mean, back to the story.
I agree that characters can always be looked at in a different way, but an author with foresight should try to mine them of all their potential before he kills them off; that way you avoid the stink of lazy, bad storytelling that appears when you go "Wait wait wait, I just thought of some more lines for Nagato! Crap he's dead. Here he is as a zombie! Ok, he said his lines, now he's dead again."
Mostly I'm annoyed because this is the friggin series finale, and we've been served up reheated leftovers as the main course. Before this war, the antagonist-checklist included Kabuto, Zetsu, Sasuke, and Tobidara and his pets. 60 chapters into the war we're only just starting to get around to them because of a horribly pandering series-extending zombie apocalypse noone asked for.
It mostly comes down to this for me: you know when a video game pads the game by throwing past bosses in your face just before the final boss? I hate that. You can argue that it's fun to see you/the hero take them out with all his new moves, but when the opponent is litterally copy-pasted, it just feels like a waste of time.
As for the new zombies, yeah they can give some cool fights, potentially, but for the finale I'd like the fights to have a bit more emotional weight, and not be that shallow. I.e. I hope that for the inevitable straw hat- Blackbeard showdown, there'll be at least some prior interactions under the characters belts, so that Usopp vs Van Oger is more meaningful than Usopp vs Chew.
Who is Chew? Looks like I missed something…. I wonder who is Chew? Chew can't be in Bleach, no noway there is anyone Chew in Naruto; must be in Fairy Tail.

Some of the storyboarding in this week's Bleach got pretty bad towards the end. Dull chapter, but still better than the tripe we've had to put up with recently. I know that every artist has their own idiosynchrouses when drawing, but how is it possible to talk conherently whilst your mouth is puckered like that?
Naruto, on the other hand, was just out-and-out terrible.

where's juju to tell us how this week naruto chapter was awesome and how it defined how awesome of a character sasuke was???

Chad can be the maskot of Bleach now.
@Cyan:
Kubo: "Ivan" is a Spanish name right?
Kubo: They speak Spanish in Europe, right?
@Fire Fist:
Ivan is obviously a смертный бог Captain from the Russian Soul Society where Aizen Rasputin is trying to overthrow the Spirit Czar and control Russian Soul Society with his army of Hollow KGB agents.
Seems to be the case. Although, смертный бог means mortal god, while бог смерти - death god.

Seriously, Mangastream, WTF? Are they going to pretend the chapters are not available online?
You're either a bad troll or don't read One Piece.
I don't think the guy is trolling… he probably is not recognizing the name because it's often romanized as Choo or Chuu. Anyway:

They released this before any of the Jump manga chapters went online. So it's basically a neat and tidy spoiler release. Pointless.
-
I don't think Kubo can draw backs of heads. Thats why there are soo many times the person always gets behind someone.
He's like okay i want both of these guys in teh same shot. Be weird for both enemy and hero to be standing side by side. I can't draw backs of heads. So how can i make them both facing me? I GOT IT. He will appear behind him. Puts on shades and smirks.

I thought we already came to an agreement that every soul society was different and that each continent EDIT: Country get's their own, japan the "good guys" get a feudal society and use swords and america soul society has tanks guns and nukes, spanish people are clearly evil so there hollows, and now the russians the 2nd strongest military power in the after life, besides the american soul society is now trying to take over japans after life
and of course Australians use Boomerangs cause what else would they use right???
and this last arc is essentially the cold war where Naruto will come from his own series to this one and single handedly talk no jutsu everyone out of the destruction of the after lifes

Part of Brother Leader Yamamoto's propaganda efforts included denying the existence of other Soul Societies, instead branding them with the name "Hell" and telling all the little soul boys and girls that they don't want to go there.

No you don't. People always feel that way after he's been banned.
Then he comes back and reminds people how annoying he is.
Fair point, but I always enjoyed reading those kind of discussions - never took part in one, coz then, yeah, I'd get annoyed just as you say. But reading and laughing was always good fun.

But hating him is part of his charm, actually I don't hate him but I love he'll make up the stupidest excuses to show how sasukes awesome even when he sucks, didn't snowcone make that awesome naruto thread comic (which I still have yet to appear in :( in it he has juju appaer and say something like "No guys the gay sex scene with Naruto and sasuke was symbolism for the hatred bread through war
-
Naruto's first page is ugly as hell, especially the first panel.
Then the Juugo Suigetsu interaction is a bit funny.
Then it's all meh. -
Naruto latest 5 chapters have been @ Bleach level, Juugo just happened to punch a wall that was hiding vital Orochimaru info that could turn this war upside down, HOW CONVENIENT.
-
FFFFFFFFFFUCKING hell, another Aizen? Goddamnit, his NAME even sounds the same! Ivan Azgiaro, you aren't fooling anyone, Kubo.
And I like how Chad appeared, but only had one line "yeah" and wasn't shown doing anything. Maybe Kubo honestly forgot what his powers are, and is trying to cover for it while he waits for his local library to get those Bleach back-volumes he requested.
-
Haven't read the chapters, but I just wanted to say something before this thread wraps up.
Great job everyone. 'sbeen real.
-
No symphony, guys?:(
-
Wasn't Suigetsu agenda getting swords? Or he ditched this idea, speaking of which - what happened to Zabuza's sword he grave-robbed?
And while I am near the mike - I liked this thread. Many good times were had. -
If Naruto were a post-modern deconstruction, I might find some of this to be well-written.
Wet man: Hey, it looks like war were declared. We should join in.
Schizo lad: Hey look, there's a wall. I'm going to smash it because I'm schizo.
Wet man: Oh wowie! That wall just happened to contain a deus ex machina! This is exactly what we need to win the war that we have nothing to do with!
Schizo lad: After all, irrelevance is a fate worse than death!Meanwhile, the Konoha 11 shed a single tear in unison.

Last i recal Kakashi had the sword while fighting the 7 swordsman zombies. Not sure what happened there. Kakashi just showed up with guy by naruto and doesn't have sword now
Now i don't follow this series super close so i could be super wrong. But thats what i recal
-
Naruto: My god, this was one of the most thoroughly unenjoyable chapters I've read in a long time. I mean, it's not like anything ridiculously bad happened, it's just…..........fuck Sasuke. Just fuck the shit out of him. Fuck that stupid fucking character and Kishi's stupid fucking eyeball fetish.
As for Karin, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt in believing that that part about her still loving Sasuke was just an act.
Bleach: Oh boy, that opening scene. Wow, a girl yelling and bitching about some very minor thing. What a surprising and humorous new concept. Kubo sure does know how to tickle my funny bone.
Other than that, don't really have anything to say that hasn't already been said. "Get off my bed" is dumb, new villain is dumb, and the rest of the chapter is just bland.
-
Now, if mangastream was also providing Bakuman spoilers, they might have something, since that series doesn't get spoil leaked until like the weekend usually, with the actual chapters not out till Monday or Tuesday.
@Thousand:
No symphony, guys?:(
You should have brought that up 10 pages back. not too big a deal, it always feels forced when we do it just for the sake of doing it.

That was glorious.
Thank you so much for that.

What I don't get in Bleach is. Why does every villian in the known universe first show up for ichigo?
Why is this guy on the bed coming for Ichigo? Where was he 18 years ago to present. Why did he wait unitl now to show up?

Why didn't Tobi just kidnap Naruto while he was a helpless badly defended child containing the Kyuubi? Or even at any point during part 1? (During the timeskip he was with Jiraiya. I'll accept that excuse, however weak it may be.) Why'd he wait 15 years until he was a trained ninja with access to hax techniques? Especially when he can just LOOK at a guy to capture them and flush them down his dimensional toilet powers?
-

Wow those may have been the worst chapters I have ever read.

I've said that same thing before.
But lets think of the other dumb thing I think is worse.
Why did Akatsuki come and tell Naruto 3 years ago that they are going to come and get him in a few years?
-
-
@RobbyBevard:
Because Itachi was a double agent who was trying in vain to save Sasuke from himself.
Make sense if his partner wasn't with.
Also why the need to wait 3 years? Why can't Tobi do his plan then?

Why do I keep thinking of 'Ivan the Terrible' whenever I read peoples comments on his name? I dont need people to remind me as I read, this name is as simple as taking the name Ivan as the first name, and tweaking "Aizen" into the last name as Azgiaro (note the A, I and Z), E and N were simply filled in with Garo instead. But I just cant help but be reminded of it.
Ivan Azgiaro.I know I want to be wrong, but if Kubo is planning on using slightly modified names of historical villains, I will bet there's a whole lot more weird names coming our way, like Hetlir Grazion or Belle Castizen.
-
@Thousand Lion-chan: Well, it's too late for us to do symphony (and that's probably for the best anway), but here's a little ditty, just in time for Sasuke and his stupid eyeball power's return.
-
@RobbyBevard:

Didn't stop him from capturing the 4-tails in earnest though.
Also, appearantly Zetsu is half dead and no-one has noticed. And what's with the pointless Sasuke-Zetsu battle? They're allies!
"Hey, that dude we've duped into fighting for us is heading for the battlefield! Let's charge him!"
"A bunch of my allies ask me what I'm doing? DEATH BY FIRE"Seriously, what am I missing here
-
So the world of Naruto is like Hyrule from Zelda I: randomly blow up walls to find goodies!
-
@RobbyBevard:
Because Itachi was a double agent who was trying in vain to save Sasuke from himself.
Itachi shortly after his death:
"Alright, I admit, could've handled everything leading up to this a bit better, but hey, I gave Sasuke the things he needs to stop Madara, now all he needs to-wait, what the fu-NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I-DON'T KILL THEM YOU DINGUS, I NEED YOU TO-**GOD FINE KILL EVERYONE, DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT I TELL YOU, I'LL MAKE SURE HELL SETS UP A SUITE FOR YOU YOU UNGRATEFUL FUCKER…**"
-
Bleach was..Well,it was Bleach..
Naruto is becoming lame…Is that a war?Where's Madara and the Kages?Kishi doesn't even know what he is doing. -
Sasuke still thinks pain and suffering makes him stronger… Itachi to the rescue! I'm seriously hoping Itachi kicks his ass.
This week's Bleach took 2 minutes to read... and it didn't make sense or seem interesting.
In contrast, I spend 30 minutes reading One Piece.
-
Sasuke and Itachi will probably kill each other 20 or 30 times, only to reveal each fatal blow is an illusion…
AGAIN.
And Itachi is effectively immortal this time. Joy.

Can't wait to see how Kishimoto plans to top the Picasso Sharingan.

yep worst fight in world coming up. I so dread seeing some "lets say epic for arguments sake" fight to only be shown that it was an illusion.
Be like if after the Enies Lobby Luffy vs. Lucci fight when Luffy won it all of a sudden cut to them standing there just staring at each other.
-
Someone hunt down that comic strip that recaps the itachi fight with Zetsu commentary and share it in the next thread.
