The names are thus:
Bearded guy = Zangief
Weird black guy = Black Dynamite
Fat chick = Majin Buu
Skinny chick = Mortecia Addams
Pompadour guy = Daryan Crescend
Have to agree, I simply cannot follow the flow of the fight. AS for the rest, Obito and Madara bickering and the Kiubi is a walking duracel, yay!
I could follow the fight this chapter to be honest. I've had trouble in the past though. If there was more content to the chapter other then dodge one attack and throw someone in his face then i'd almost consider it good. But it's lacking too much content wise.

At least the Beard guy is stopping the Kuwabara dude from acting all high and mighty.
And Hikifune hasn't done anything bad yet, aside from a little fist-of-love to thatoneguy's cranium. Yes I do not remember any of the Vizards name aside from Hachi.

Okay chapters. The Naruto one was pretty confusing art wise and I don't really see anything special in the 0 division right now, I mean smug assholery kind of isn't that special.
@Cyan:

Pompadour guy = Daryan Crescend
And henceforth,I'll refer to them as such.
Still,other than Mortecia,they demonstrate more personality than your average Bleach character.That's something,I guess.
Plus,as smug as Daryan is,I can always appreciate someone calling Soul Society out on the fact that they suck at their jobs.
Yeah as much as I hate Bleach, they have a point. Gotei 13 sucks, big time.
NotKuwabara is a giant dick. Ichigo is special as usual. And is the last page suppose to imply that Urahara has connections with the Zero Squad? Or I guess it could be Mystery Sword's voice. Which probably means Isshin? I'd ask how he could get to HM usually, but lolSquad0science is probably the answer if Mystery Sword doesn't turn out to be an Arrancar. Let's face it "that guy in HM" isn't Chad.
I think this Bleach chapter is actually worse than usual because rather than having anything hilariously bad or even just boring waste of pages, we have to suffer through NotKuwabara being a huge douchebag through most of the chapter.
Naruto - Naruto was just confusing as hell.
First, why are they even still there, now that they have the juubi revived.
Second, did I read that right when Madara said that they have to summon the moon, thats just stupid.
Third, the art was confusing and horrible, so cluttered.
Lastly, can anyone tell me where the other characters are ?? Are they still on their way ??
Bleach _ I have to agree with Daz, I dislike all the zero squad already, though I still have some hope for that bald bearded guy, and hikifune.
The comedy was just out of place in this chap, and Kubo once again shows the incompetence of the SS.
And any reason why Rukia and Renji are going, considering that they weren't that injured compared to some others, like Kenpachi. Infact, just the previous chapter Rukia was asking why Ichigo looked sad, so don't know why she is there.
I am guessing that they will probably get a powerup here, and yet will still lose against their opponent(come on, its Renji), and then Byakuya will come all of a sudden and defeat the opponent. Thats my guess.
Lastly, is there a page missing, or did the chapter really end so abruptly ?? Cause that was weird.
P.S.- There were five footshots on the first page, and the mandatory eye-shots as well. And there was even an attack from behind. According to Bleach standards, thats considered a great chapter.
Too bad there's no Toriko this week to relieve me from this awfulness.
this humor felt really inappropriate in this bleach chapter, or maybe it's just me.
Everyone just freaking died.
Kubo really is trying to make Soi Fon the least likable character in this series though isn't he?
This chapter of Bleach fails to convince that that these guys aren't just going to fail hard when the chips are down. On the plus side, I guess a visit to the Soul King will actually be legit story building, world building, or whatever. I'm even intrigued by the Kuchiki group being dragged along, and this chapter gives me hope that we might still see Unohana do something. A good chapter actually.

Aizen was the first to revive the Juubi, apparently.
What did "Origami" mean by that, what she told to Mayuri? Was she locked up in Division 12 or what? Exactly which division did she ran in the past 100 years? If that is indeed the case, for someone as strong as she is, she came out of nowhere…
Wow, Kishimoto needs to work on his fight choreography, or at least bring it up to the standard it used to have. Other than that, Kurama senzu'd all of the fighters, so now we can get even more fights! Oh, joy!
Bleach was awful, seriously. It had everything that makes it terrible: inappropriateness, ICHIGOISSPESHUL-ness, chauvinism, Attack from Behind!, and a cliffhanger that will probably go nowhere until a few chapters later (if at all). So, we're supposed to believe Unohana's this badass, O.G. captain and healer, but she's never done shit, right? Then here comes Mr. Pompadour and basically tells her she sucks at her job and to get back in the kitchen. Bleach, ladies and gents! I bet he also rubbed his crotch on Soifon's back when he attacked her from behind. And I don't get why there are people hating on Soifon's actions this chapter, when she was asking the same question that we've been asking for a while. Zero Squad's Kubo's answer: because we're totally LEET, so fuck you noobs; defend yourselves and let us ridicule you when you fail. Also, anyone else find it funny that healing fucking Renji of all people takes priority over healing Kenpachi? You know, the "guy Aizen feared" who's supposed to be completely broken? Great logic, guys, just like Byakuya's when he gave up his Bankai instead of giving up Renji's. I'm hoping Kenpachi shows up next chapter and decapitates Pompadouche, just so he'll shut the fuck up.
Wow, that was rantier than I thought…
Kishi and Kubo need fight choreography lessons from Murata. Naruto was just jam packed with blotches and Bleach threw in more attacks from behind.
Early chapter releases, eh?
Bleach: Well….I can honestly say Kubo surprised me this chapter. First of all, the Royal Guard seems to be a little too wacky right now. Seireitei's in ruins, and it feels like I'm reading a gag chapter, or something.
But hahahah yes, I totally called it, the fat one was Hikifune! And.....apparently Bleach's Kuwabara is the healer of the group. Huh.
And the thin woman......has extending arms that broke into Mayuri's lab. .....Byakuya, Renji, Rukia, and Ichigo's fucking SWORD are gonna come to the King's Realm! Road trip!
Nothing really happened, and there's not a lot to say. Again, I feel like Kubo did the chapter just to try to be "funny", and it falls flat completely.
Calling it now: the voice at the end is Isshin.
Naruto: Juubi attacks! Go, Ninetails, I choose you!
Seriously though, this seems to be the "epic" final battle. It's an all out war of beasts, and only six characters are revelant in the whole fucking thing. Art was a little skectchy and hard to follow.
And when did we jump into Dragon Ball Z? This is a ninja manga, not a Godzilla movie.
Cliffhanger made me lol…..Madara and Obito are obviously going to use some new Sharingan power and negate the attack completely. And I love how Kyuubi said Juubi has no "feelings or ideals". Remember when Kyuubi was evil and not "misunderstood?" Remember when he didn't give a shit what happened to anyone?
Now he and Naruto are BFFS, yay!!!!!
Hated both chapters.
Naruto is so hard to see whats going on. Don't feel like reading it a second time to understand whats all happening action wise, and don't feel like a manga should force you to in order to see whats happening. Thus failure to me there.
Bleach was just dumb. Doesn't he see how much we all think how inept soul society and the kings palace are already and here he goes and makes them joke about how the other couldn't save people and so on. So they were watching the destruction and laughing basically. Good portrayal of heaven there Kubo. Then randomly taking a few people back to save, leaving kenpachi for some reason. Oh and gotta love how they let so many people die and yet feel the need to put Ichigo's sword in a special healing pod and take back to the king. Oh and lets not forget Ichigo goes again because he is special for some reason.
Guys. Who needs a healed Seireitei when you need to heal the messiah's weapon?!
…..Seriously though, this is dumb as all hell.
It's as if Kubo knew everyone was like "yes, the Quinzis have brought back the ridiculous kind of bad we loved in Bleach" and decided he'd give us Fullbringers 2.0: The Zero Squad.
And let me get this straight, did this chapter just make Tsunade even more worthless? Or i guess a female ninja in general, since all they can do is heal.
Did Gai and Kekashi just get thrown in the 9 tails mouth so they can get all their chakra back and be back to tip top fighting shape? While yes not exactly healing it seems if your 100% chakra you are 100% the way this manga writes so seems same thing. Actually better, cause heling doesn't seem to give you chakra back. Your healthy but out of chakra. Tsunade's giant slug seems pointless now.
@Cyan: thank you for bringing up the Zangief point! Last week I gave a vague description of who I thought Kubo ripped off with the new 5. I read the new Bleach chapter and the realisation of Zangief hit me, so it was pleasing to have you affirm it. Whoever posted the picture of Plum Kitano is a friggin genius! And Gliblord, not only do you have an amazing Shelley De Killer avatar but you posted a picture of Daryan Crescend, and that good sir just made my day. I fucking wish Edgeworth Investigations 2 would get localised and translated. Clearly in Kubo's who to rip off book this week, he must have been inspired by playing Apollo Justice and reading Toriko. Yes Toriko, "King of cereals sounds quite toriko like. As for the title, I want to stop time, throw a load of knives at Kubo and drop a steamroller on him.

You know, that's two things that seem to annoy me. In the good ol' days, the Kyuubi wouldn't act as some benevolent healing item. Kishi changing him from being a pure evil mass of chakra to…...again, misunderstood and now helping people is something I can't stand.
Second, why doesn't anyone seem to run out of chakra in this series?
And as for Bleach, aside from Division 0 being jerks, the King's Realm is Kubo's last chance to actually give us compelling scenery. I swear, if it's based on feudal Japan again or we see a desert again-

Technicaly it shouldn't be feudal japan, but middle ages/very early Japan, given how even the Gotei 13 is 2000 years old.
Not that he's gonna do that though.

Well, seeing as how this series only really has three different locations…...
Also, if the first thing we see is a bustling city with high-end buildings and happy, playing children, I will seriously laugh if the King's Realm is like the opposite of SS when it comes to quality and living conditions.
Watch, Aizen's going to be the Soul King. Either him or James Brown…
I thought Brook was the Soul King. Oh wait…
My cynisism machine is about to explode !

Ah…...
Anyways, it's weird though. Kuwabara's reasoning doesn't make sense. If the G13 are there to protect Seireitei, and they are there to protect the king inside of Seireitei, then that assumes that a situation can arrise where S0's protection is necessary.
So if the Gotei 13 knew how to "do their jobs", to quote the man, then they would literaly have no purpose.
And it'd be off to the secret underground no-crimes-committed prison for all eternity for all of them !
You should not take the true Soul King's name in vain, son…
@Metamario: yeah I know what you mean. Heel face turns can be of use but not at the speed Kishimoto is doing it at, he's losing the dramatic tension. Just because people are allies doesn't necessarily mean they are going to like each other. It would be like Phoenix Ikki in Saint Seiya being quite antagonistic to the core 4 saints (core as in Seiya etc) and then a few episodes later after teaming up holding hands with them and skipping merrily across the yellow brick road so to speak. It's as ridiculous as Zebra doing the same thing in Toriko or Vegeta in Dragonball. As for Bleach, I hope the spirit king isn't slumming it in some shithole. I want him to live in a merry and fantastic place. Just for the juxtaposition. I like the attitudes of the new group, they basically are spitting on the snooty and up their own arse ways of the seireitei. This spirit king better be Brian Blessed, I can't stand any more emos.
Not to whore myself out or anything but I don't want this point to be missed on the end of the last page.
The Zero Squad would be completely unneccessary if the 13 Squads would automaticaly always be able to deal with every threat as he expects them to.
Also alot of people died because Yama forbid the healers to actualy heal people during the war.
The most terrifying point of all this is, unless Kubo has been massively trolling us with the previous big bads, no matter how freakishly powerful this zero squad are, Ichigo will save the day in some bullshit manner.
@Friend:

I sort of expected/dreaded that from the very begining.
I … I ... I liked.... ...No... no.. I tolerated, yes! I tolerated Bleach this week. it was much better than last weeks and Naruto ... well... nothing you can really say there.
I was too busy trying to follow any captains left with dignity. Kubo in bringing in this squad and trivialising the seretei has now created an excuse to never have to reveal the bankais of the captains below the zero squad. If the zero squad fall which we assume they will, well Ichigo with his magic hax plotkai gets top trumps over captains with thousands of years of training. It isn't over yet though, and I plan to see the manga through to the bitter end. I wouldn't be against Ishida being brainwashed by the quincies if it meant we got a proper fight between him and ichigo. Oh wait Ichigo's magic blood would automatically make him better than Ishida's entire life of training as a quincy. What is it with modern shounen ie naruto and bleach and bloodlines? It's like they are copying saiyans except wait saiyans may have had the magical ability to be stronger after near death, but at least they spent most of their time when not eating training!
I'm late to the party, but I just want to throw in my share.
Sooo, we got NotKuwabara yankee, NotNnoitra and NotDeeJay? And that's horrible. Just as their actions and traits are. And simply degenerated explanation for idleness. The whole chapter was a decadence. In every way. The manga is in swamp, the events are in doom. And Kubo does this. Though probably it's simply squad 0 going senile from being locked away up there.
I won't even waste my breath on Naruto. I have yet to read previous pages, but I'm sure everything is already said.
You know, that's two things that seem to annoy me. In the good ol' days, the Kyuubi wouldn't act as some benevolent healing item. Kishi changing him from being a pure evil mass of chakra to…...again, misunderstood and now helping people is something I can't stand.

Yeah the whole Kyuubi being buddy buddy with Naruto now seems kind of weird, but I've gotten used to it seeing as how its been built up. Though, I can't really think of another way they could've handled the Kyuubi. It being an infinite Chakra sink for the rest of the series might've been a bit lame.
@Friend:
And Gliblord, not only do you have an amazing Shelley De Killer avatar
Who is this "Shelly de Killer" you speak of? I am naught but this neighborhood's average ice cream vender, John Doe.
Did anyone ever legitimately have "Doe" as their last name I wonder ?
I do not know but I do remember a card which I should not have even hinted at. Oh well lol. I was curious as to what was meant in Bleach about Unohana doing something other than healing. I hope she can fight.
I … I ... I liked.... ...No... no.. I tolerated, yes! I tolerated Bleach this week. it was much better than last weeks and Naruto ... well... nothing you can really say there.
I last weeks Bleach chapter was the first one i've read in maybe a year and it intrigued me enough to read this weeks which reminded me immediately of why i stopped reading Bleach. Never again.
I still don't know whats happening in Naruto. Why aren't they all dead yet. Why did they risk summoning the Ten-Tails that they know could somehow be destroyed because they know what a nuisance Naruto and Co. are in the first place. Why didn't Madara just kill them all and then summon the Ten-Tails. Also is the Ten-Tails just flapping his tails all the time cause it looked like they kept getting rocks thrown at them or something i don't even know. plz let this shit be over soon.
I think rocks have been continuously falling for like 15 chapters or something.

They are bouncy rocks of course, they fall and then go up again.

But that's just it. Naruto and Kyuubi were enemies from the begining, weren't they? Or at the very least, not friends. Kyuubi had attacked the Leaf Village and was the main reason why so many villagers hated/feared Naruto.
Although friending the fox was like Naruto earning the respect from the whole damn ninja world so quickly: betraying the ideas of what made Naruto the underdog appealing to the readers.
I'm fine with the concept of enemies turning into allies. It's been done all the time in storytelling, so its the execution that matters.
@No:

Of course. How many people can get into the King's Realm in the first place?! Only Division 0 and whoever makes the Oken. 0.00000001% of the universe.
Also alot of people died because Yama forbid the healers to actualy heal people during the war.
Technically the order was to keep the healers inside, though it was being inside that limited the healing!

….Doesn't Naruto have like infinite Chakra right now? One clone is in Sage Mode, and the….original? Is in super Kyuubi sketchy flame mode.
Well my point on that is I think it would be much better if Naruto and the Kyuubi were at least on good terms instead of Naruto using the Kyuubi's chakra without him being willing for the rest of the series. The latter just seems kind of cruel and abusive even if the Kyuubi was originally evil.
