@Big_Bad_Lith:
I read a chapter of naruto, and remember nothing. Nothing sticks, like uncooked spaghetti against a wall. Kishimoto could honestly be running the last 3 chapters in a loop and I would not be able to tell. As far as I can see, this kind of thing could go on forever. We'll keep on meeting new dead people who were badasses and are now zombies and then they will all talk, but never say anything, and there will be some poorly drawn explosions and then somebody will get sealed up and then naruto will run around, and then we do it all over again. He could keep this up for years.
reading Naruto these days is like sitting on a conveyor belt in perfect darkness. are you moving? you know you must be, but there is no sign of progress.
So, so, so much truth to this statement. Spot on sir.

Also, Hitsugaya is kind of a sadist with the way he took out Yukio, isn't he? Once Yukios gloves froze over Hitsu had already won, and from there he could've knocked him out, or just frozen him completely. Heck, with his super speed and that attack from behind he could've taken down Yukio right that instant- but no, he opts for pushing Yukio onto a patch of ice, so he can get mauled by a horde of monsters while Hitsugaya mocks him.
Classy.
This chapter is the one that really illustrated to me why Kubo's characterization sucks. Every one of the four characters in this chapter behaved in a way that was contradictory to the characterization they had showed before. And it's not like they were exactly fascinating to start with. They're hollow slates that act however Kubo wants them to act for the story purposes.
