Yes, and then it's the end of the filler arc reviews.
Naruto and Bleach II: I don't have the heart to care anymore.

Can anyone tell me how Bleach has been ranking after this new arc started?? I know it won't get cancelled now, but if its bad, hopefully the pacing atleast won't be horrible.

I believe it has been or near the bottom 5 these weeks.

:sad:. You could..um…write blogs about a character and their progression from start to current? It'd be funny to really have the inconsistencies laid out.

I second this idea.

In that case I'll fourth it.

Then I'll be the stick in the mud and say no.
BECAUSE I CAN. :ninja:

After I'm done with Attack From Behind, I'm going to invest all my energies back into Just Add Tournament Arc.
-
Your comment gave me a thought….other than rukia older sister has Kubo ever killed off any other of the female cast?
Kaien Shiba's wife?
-
There's also Tousen's flashback friend who was killed by her husband.
-
Those pointless 3 espadas a few chapters back.

I like this, but I've actually thought of a post I'd really like to see…..the rankings of the Espada and they don't add up (Rukia beat #9, a wounded Kenpachi and Byakuya beating #0 Yammy without much visible effort, Ulquiorra's Segunda Etapa that screws everything over, etc).

With Ulquiorra he never let any body know about that, not even Aizen, so if everybody knew he probably would have had a higher ranking.
And Yammy may have been the strongest but strength ain't all there is to a fight.

this may seem like an off topic video but…..just watch it

You know for a special assassination technique chidori is really loud, bright and conspicuous.

One thousand birds is a very silly name, who thought that anyway.

I see what you mean, but where exactly would it place Ulquiorra in terms of the 3 above him. And didn't Aizen say he knew of Segunda Etapa when revealing to Ichigo he planned everything?
-

It's pretty ridiculous that Aizen, the man who knew everything about everything, wouldn't know an ability about a creature he created.
And Yammy may have been the strongest but strength ain't all there is to a fight.
That's dumb, the espada weren't ranked in terms of literal strength but rather fighting ability.
-
Looking at all of the women who died, it seems all married women die in Bleach.
-

Well, they've already served their ultimate purpose in life, so why not kill them?

Hey, at least Kouga's wife didn't die.

I was just trying to justify it, it really doesn't make any sense but its possible that kubo put a tiny bit of thought into it.
-
So maybe I'm just missing something, but why didn't Danzou have Kabuto assassinated in the 7 times he took the chuunin exams? It's not like he changed his name or appearance.
-
@Maes:

Because he didn't exist back then when Kishi wrote the exam arc lol.
-
For some reason I read Naruto as Karuto when reading the title of the thread today.
Just thought i'd share that.
-

Wasn't it explained like 'the attack sounds like a thousand birds chirping' or something like that?
-

Yes it was, but that just makes it even more stupid. An assasination technique that creates noise and warns the person about to be assasinated, Kishi must have been drunk when he created it. Though to be fair, almost all of the techs in Naruto are flashy as hell, and not at all suited for ninjas.
-

What's that ?

My forum-participatory Bleach crackfic wherein I take suggestions for matches. It's only 8 chapters or so in right now, from a few months ago.

LOL it's as if you're implying that ninjas are supposed to be stealthy or something.
Oh btw why does Kubo keeps bringing back the whole bullshit about "the Kenpachi title is given to the best shinigami" when all three known Kenpachi so far clearly weren't the best shinigami or anywhere near it.
-
No, it's given to the shinigami that manages to kill the last captain of Squad 11.

I always assumed it means brute force wise, or potential wise. I mean, Zaraki would probably be the strongest shinigami if he only learn his sword's name and achieved Bankai… Ichigo did it in like, 3 days, so it can't be that hard!
-

This also, but it was said twice or even three times about how the Kenpachi is a title given to the strongest and best shinigami in SS.
^
But Zaraki isn't the strongest physically. -
Y Ruler of Time has the second part of the Downfall of Bleach up.
I pretty much agree with him.
-
I can't believe he liked Hinamori's second stabbing, that was like THE jump the shark moment for me
-
He….liked that? Even amongst all the Deicide nonsense bullshittery, that moment just stood out as incredibly stupid. It made no sense, like at all - Hinamori has just been manhandled by Allon and is comatose -only suddenly she has taken Aizens place, and are fighting the captains? Err what?
a) Aizen can't mind control people
b) Who WAS fighting the captains if Aizen was off doing whatever? Lethal warrior Hinamori? -
I think it's more that he liked it in a meanspirited 'he hates Hinamori' kind of way. Not that it was a particularly good bit of writing.

Just keep an illusion or something to keep Hinamori comatose. Create an illusion for Hitsugaya, and move Hinamori's comatose body in the direction where Hitsugaya will stab.
-
I just realized I had been reading the word Deicide as Decide…What the hell is deicide?
-
Kubo's Engrish probably. I knew there were similarities between the arrancar arc and soul society but i didn't realise to how much. Who was the minor guy chad beat in the soul society arc?
-
god killing, combining dei which is related to the latin word for god (deus) with cide that you'd see in suicide, homocide, genocide, etc. It's actually a real word

So weird. My spell checker told me it wasn't a word lol.

It isn't a common one. I've noticed a lot of less common words aren't recognized by spell checker, such as more technical words or ones that just fell out of usage
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
and just checked my spell checker and it recognizes the word

It was Aizen being a ridiculously cruel twat for no other reason than the evulz. And then Hitsugaya doesn't even spend a second fretting over Hinamori, he just goes straight after Aizen again, god they're all brainless sacks of incompetence

Aizen said he changed places when he possibly couldn't have changed places.
Also…. it showed his thought process when he got stabbed by Hitsugaya. IT SHOWED HIS THOUGHT PROCESS.
-
Since when were you under the impression that Aizen's illusions could only affect people in the series?
-
Not to mention Ichigo could've warned them minutes earlier instead of waiting till it was too late.

After going back and rereading Naruto (I meant to only read the first part, since I only watched the anime version, but wound up reading all the way through) I'm bummed out by just how sharp a decline it has gone through in the last few years. Granted, the story was only okay at best, but still much better than what we're currently stuck with (eye hax out the uchihole). I miss the days when Rock Lee humiliated sasuke with nothing but Taijutsu and all the sharingan did was copy the abilities of ninja who went through the effort of developing them. Hell, and that ability was only showcased once (in the Lee vs. sasuke pounding) and then abandoned for uber genjutsu and black fire (and that was just part I).
Kishimoto still can't write women, though, and feels the need to have almost every single woman who ever crosses path with sasuke remark on how "handsome" he is. Seriously, look it up: Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Temari, Karin, even the damn Mizukage (twice). As if the story didn't already make it clear enough that he really likes the character. I won't even get into women's fights in this series, because they're hardly worth mentioning. As for Naruto and Sakura's obsession with sasuke… get over it you two, seriously. I suppose Naruto has a reason to like him (flimsy though it may be), but what's Sakura's reason for loving him so much? If there's anything beyond "OMG he's so cool and elite!" we've yet to see it. I found it hilarious that Ino started crying when he was declared a missing-nin and had a bounty put on his head. You know him even less than Sakura, get over it. Oops, didn't mean to rant there…
Moving on to the good: Rock Lee's spin-off—it's amazing and I love both versions of it. The only thing that bugs me about the anime version is that they feel the need to give away parts that originally belonged to other characters to Naruto (like Guy's part in training Lee for his match against Neji or Kakashi's part being omitted in episode 2). We get that he's the main character of the main series, but this is Lee's show and Guy is a major influence on Lee, so he should feature as often as he does in the manga version of the spin-off. The fact that he didn't make an appearance until episode 4 is a crime. Also, with two of the Sannin being featured on the show, I seriously hope that Jiraiya shows up sometime. He might be dead, but so is Orochimaru and that didn't stop Pierrot from working him in. Plus, Jiraiya is a humorous character, so he'd be perfect for this series…
As for Bleach—it sucks, period. The last time I got some minor enjoyment out of the series was seeing Tatsuki and Kenpachi's new looks back in the Fullbringer arc (and Ikumi, too). I feel sorry for Chad, especially since he has to be obscured in the shadows of terrible characters like Ichigo and Boobihime. Then again, shonen is hardly the place to find hardworking characters who are better than—or at least one par with—those who are naturally gifted and/or "destined" to be great (One Piece being an exception).
Who was the minor guy chad beat in the soul society arc?
This guy. Don't ask me how I remember his name, I just do. Maybe it's because he was the first and only opponent that Chad one-shotted…
