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

Hisoga

No, he's not. People read too much into this, Kubo forgets rules he's established halfway into chapters/arcs he's writing.

Are you honestly suggesting he has such an intricate shipping strategy in order to mindfuck the Orihime side and support the Rukia side?
Rukia who has all but disappeared from the plot and is barely visible as a side character, because less important characters are more popular in the polls and therefore warrant screentime?

Really?

REALLY? /disapoint.

i cannot give you an answers because everything in that two "qoutes" in that post of mine was not written by me. i just copy and paste it from somebody post in other forum.

@DemoMansopp:

I agree. I think the Bleach anime tends to do a much better job than the actual manga. Also, filler is to be expected, especially due to the three weeks of nothing.

On a Naruto note: if this Moon plan Tobi/Madara does go into action, it needs to get a horrific face and take 72 hours to fall.

I was referring to Naruto.

@Zack:

There's also the fact that if the tailed beasts can die with the hosts, it's hard to believe that no host in the history of the ninja world has never been killed with the tailed beast still in them.

Nah, if you kill the host with the Bijuu inside the Bijuu will only temporarily die. Then it comes back roaming the world freely with no host which the nations would never want. Minato made a comment on it'd be useless for Kushina to sacrifice herself to kill the Kyuubi because it'd only be temporary.

@Fire Fist:

Generally, people who have beasts that grant them the power to level entire cities are hard to kill.

Well, I guess one could swiftly and silently sneak into a host's bedroom in the middle of the night and then slit their throat. But nah, that'd be silly. Instead, they should juts bust into the village in broad daylight while making as much noise and chaos as possible.

Because that's what ninjas do, right?

Suddenly, all these pokemon parallels are even more relevant.

Tobi isn't worried since he has a master ball in one of his pockets.

What a very disturbing pos- oh wait i misread that.

In the world of Naruto, people with breasts aren't really that hard to kill.

Watching the latest Bleach eps. God I fucking despise Riruka. I swear to God there's a filler scene where she's off looking for Orihime, then shet gets a flashback of the other Fullbringers teasing her about how she "really cares for her," and she, flustered, blurts out to no one that "I'm just going to buy donuts!"

WHO ACTS LIKE THAT

Then again….what does Pierrot even have to go by with her ? I mean we know.....jack shit about her past, very little about her personality, and she's just fucked off for some reason, primarily because Kubo doesn't want another character to keep track of (because, you know, the one he always focuses on is hard enough to manage as is).

Gliblord

I'll tell you what Pierrot did with her, constant "I'm going to buy donuts" jokes. Gah.

Did Kishi use a different ink pen/brush for this cover?

But besides that, it's too crowded and clustered. Looks more like fan art to me.

God, I'm so glad I don't watch the Bleach anime anymore.

Again. She had the "crush" on Ichigo that was dropped almost immediately, was bitchy, regretfull about what she had to do to Orihime and…..that was it, essentialy.

Well, technically Nami and for example Shion from Magico are both tsundere and they're good characters. In fact there are a lot of good tsundere-ish characters, but also a lot of bad ones because of the popularity of the archetype. The problem with Riruka is that she doesn't really have much basic character to begin with, so the animators have to make something up, so the basic tsundere is the best way to go for her considering her interaction with Ichigo.

Gliblord

Granted, it's pretty bad on Kubo's part that all they have to go on with Riruka is donuts and general bitchiness, but still. She pisses me off.

Kubo: What's an easy foodstuff to draw?
Assistant: Donuts are just two circles with some shading.
Kubo: Perfect.

Riruka in the anime pisses me off more than in the manga…...but that scene sounds too weird, even for Bleach filler.

sanji499

I have just watched episode 241. I was really entertained, its always great to see Gai's antics. He is really a character you can't dislike even if the plot of this episode wasn't great. Its still better than the war arc for sure.

Spoiler

Gai is always awesome wether he is young or grown up.

Mortea

That cover is quite bad. The composition plainly sucks. I'm quite tuned to it so when picture is composed badly it can annoy me greatly. And the fact that it's stylized doesn't save it. Stylized? Perhaps I'm giving kishi too much credit judging from his weekly doodles…

You know..watching the recap video. That guy say squad 11 will open him up? But at any rate. Hilarious. I wish he added in all the crap with Orihime Chad and Ishida and the whole thing with everyone's make overs and Ichigo's boss.

Also. Man reading YYH for the first time (only saw the anime). Yeah…this arc really did seem like a direct rip...But really really bad. I still need answers about Ginjo. How old is he? How long ago was it when he was made a sub? Was Ichigo told he was his successor cause I really don't recall. Could there be more subs?

Mortea

What is Ukitake's power? Was it even shown? I remember dual swords (because he was standing next to that flower cape guy and old fart commented how sexy the sexiest swords look together) but nothing more.

That last one makes me cry. Even though it's likely true, I hate the idea of Hachigen being the only Vizard left forgotten. He's my favorite among that group, and he's the only one that actually defeated an Espada! He even did so in a cool way that didn't involve simply swinging around swords or energy blasts. He also displayed some tricks that could be used by Orihime in the future- at least, in the unlikely even that she is ever actually shown to be competent again- like the parents of the Shika-Ino-Cho combo in Naruto part 1.

Edit:

I think he could absorb energy blasts with one sword, then fire them out the other. He used it a couple of times against Starrk.

His swords are connected by a cord that has several Kido tags hanging from it. The left sword absorbs incoming attacks such as Cero, and the blast travels through the cord, is enhanced by the tags, and fired out of the right sword at double strength. Basically, it's the same ability that Nel has, except he's not eating the energy and it happens in a matter of a second. His Bankai is unknown.

Kubo is so creative. Ukitake's Bankai will be able to fire back the attack at 3x of its original strength.

I still don't get that.

Kubo:"The Shinigami purposefuly didn't use their superior abilities against the traitor who raised an army of hollows, intent on wiping out an entiere city, so he can create the Key to supposedly go kill the King. Now later….."

Audience:"Why ?"

Kubo"....Because if they used it they might have won."

Audience:"So you're saying in a situation where the very continued existence of their whole realm is at risk, they only do a half assed job against the illusion-creating wishing ball possesing shinigami and his army of Hollows, so that they might avoid beating the villain if at all possible."

Kubo:"Yeah."

Don't forget that Ukitake and Kyoraku thought that their Bankai is too dangerous to use with their allies nearby, just so Yamamoto could use his even more dangerous technique which would've killed pretty much everyone there because they're prepared to die anyhow.
