Sooo…He didn't stop wearing one though. Kubo is a fashion designer posing as a manga artist, minor changes in clothes are bound to happen.

Getting tired of these random enemies that just keep popping one after another.

http://readms.com/r/bleach/572/2290/20Umm… I don't quite understand what you're getting at. I think your point was that Yachiru is imagining Kenpachi as wearing the eyepatch? But he never stopped wearing one even after the timeskip.

Such a great palette of colors to work with. What is everyone wearing?
-Black
-White

You asked when did Kenpachi stop wearing the eyepatch. I was assuming you meant his old eyepatch

Ah, no, I was talking about in reference to Lith's thing about suggesting that Yachiru was imagining Kenpachi wearing the eyepatch he no longer wears.

It all makes sense now

So… Bleach became the One-Punch Man series? Because every freakin' fight consists of the enemy launching his ultimate attack, then taking one himself and dying.

Neh - I thought Gai could use Ninjutsu and Genjutsu ?? It looks like either Kishi forgot, which would not be a surprise as he seems to be doing that a lot lately; OR, that was just a translation mistake or something, which I hope is the case because it takes away the uniqueness that Lee has.
The whole flash back itself was lame, and not needed. It was a boring and dull flashback. There was nothing unique about it,and neither about the characters. It felt like Kishi barely put much thought or planning into it, and just placed it there for padding purposes.
Poorly constructed and planned, and it just raised more questions than providing any answers. What was the point of that flashback, it was so short that it barely accomplished anything that we did not know already.
Also, is there a reason that none of the zombies are using the eight gates/ any other forbidden techniques, considering they are dead, recover from any injuries as well as the chakra and could really exploit that little advantage.
Don't care if Gai dies, in the end they are all just going to be brought back to life anyway. Enjoy your spotlight Gai, you will be forgotten soon enough. Just ask Neji.
P.S. -
!
Dai says that he is happy that Gai can't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. If he was saying that at this point in time, then that should have been indicated by adding 'yet'. The way it is shown here means that he cannot use Ninjustsu or genjutsu, period.
Bleh - Where do I even begin ?? Power of imagination….from Kubo......LOL. This is going to be a spectacular wreck.
-
@Purple:
Kenpachi definitely did not stop wearing that eyepatch after Aizen
He didn't wear it after the first battle. When he fought Unohana.
I figured with all that development, he stopped limiting himself like that.
Or maybe his reiatsu is too strong for anyone else to handle, so he has to dampen it again.

Development? In Bleach?
Anyway, Unohana was the last time we saw him, so idk, I'd imagine he'd sitll be raring to keep the fights going for as long as he can still. Probs can still pulverize people easily anyway just like before he got the powerup.

Don't have a better word for it, honestly. And I didn't mean character development, just development.
I hope he doesn't take too long toying around with this fucker.
He deservesWe deserve to see him fight a better opponent than someone who Kubo thought of last chapter, after he realized that old guy sucks. -

This imagination guy is Kubo's avatar. He's telling us that he can imagine any crap he wants and write it in, and we can't do shit about it.

@NER:
The way it was in the chapter implied something like the case of Lee.
The way it was in the chapter was him at age 5 when that was mentioned. And if the only ninjutsu he is capable as a adult is some very basic stuff and a summon of a turtle no bigger than him, he's hardly better than Lee.
-
Sooo… why didn't Madara revive Gai's dad? You know - that one guy who could open all of his gates and, since he was a zombie, could probably run around with infinite and broken power?
-
@Aru:

I actually was thinking about this as well, but anyway. That was Kabuto, and I guess Dai wasn't famous enough to revive, or something like that.
Obviously with infinite chakra and regen potential it's the perfect zombie soldier considering no one would be able to catch him. Also Kishimoto hates choreographing taijutsu fights. I mean, he already struggles with dynamic balls of magic energy, and anything more than that is way too much work.
-

Where exactly does this age 5 stuff come from ?? The way the translation is done clearly states that he could not do any ninjutsu or genjutsu, period. It probably is a translation issue.
-
@Ace:

His father tells him that he can't use it but he says it when he is 5 years old, not when he is an adult.
If his father saw him as an adult he would probably say something like "oh, I see that you managed to be able to use some basic ninjutsu but you focus on your taijutsu because that's what you are good at, well done!".
-
So was it implied that Guy's father was killed by the 7 swordsmen? Did he at least kill a couple of them before he kicked the bucket?
-

It's not impossible. For one thing, that guy with Kubikiribocho was no Zabuza.
And that guy with Hiramekarei was no Chojuro.
In fact I see others that were Edo Tensei'd by Kabuto, they had to die of something. I suppose Dai killed at least 1 or 2.
And why do I even remember these names? If only I could make my brain remember more important stuff.
-

Technically he was killed because he released the 8 gates. I don't know if the cause of the death of the Seven Swordsmen was ever stated, but if not, we can assume he killed most of them (obviously he didn't kill Zabuza)
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

That wasn't Zabuza, apparently
And apparently Kishi brought the filler villain into the seven swordsmen.
-
Shouldn't Zabuza be like Gai's age at this point anyway
-
Honestly, shoehorning in the Seven Swordsmen was the dumbest part of this chapter.
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
-
The Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Legendary and highly skilled ninja known for their ferocity and strength in battle throughout each and every country.
Disposable flashback cardboard cutouts.
-
What exactly are the Seven Swordsmen, anyway? Is this some kind of organization like the Shichibukai and whenever one of them gets killed, he or she has to be replaced at all hazards?
What were and are they doing? What's the goal of this federation - besides having a fancy sounding name as well as fancy swords?
-
The seven swordsmen are basically the Seven Warlords only completely terrible and a waste of potential
-
They're basically based on these seven super awesome swords of great lethal power, so as long as you've got one and you're from the mist, you're in.
Good job, Team Kakashi, for leaving Zabuza's completely out in the open as a gravemarker in the land of waves for anyone to take. Amazing no one decided to take a legendary sword until Suigetsu showed up.
-
Imagine if after Mihawk and the Baratie, weren't introduced to any of the Warlords until Marineford.
And when they finally appeared at Marinford, they all had bland designs and barely said a word.
That's what the seven swordsmen are.
-
Basically unless you're a kage, your social group doesn't really matter in the long run because you suck at life

So we'd get the bland design from Yosaku's and Johnny's imagination.
And at the time of the Marineford arc they were already killed off-screen beforehand so that they get summoned as zombies - only to get completely off-screened again.
-
See, I hate this Seven Swordsmen bullshit with the swords. Back in the day when they fought Zabuza? Kakashi gave LITERALLY ZERO fucks about Zabuza's sword. Nothing, not a single line that it is in any way better than any other sword. Back then the character and his skills was what made him a part of the Seven, as far as we knew. The sword never had any part during the fight, so it didn't help Zabuza in any way.
What I want to say is: I call bullshit, Kishi. When you play poker with your own world and people who read your series - be ready for someone to check your cards, you pulled the Seven Guys being strong thanks to their "awesome" swords bullshit out of your ass. You only mentioned Zabuza's sword and later revived them all with the power of bullshit just to play on us and our nostalgia, you wanted to be than guy who no one likes that tries to mention the "good old days" because he hasn't introduced anything remotely interesting in a long time.

This is a bizarre recurring thing for Kishi; for some reason, it seems like every ninja has randomly met some other famous ninja/team from a different village in their past.
Tsuchikage and Madara. Mifune and Hanzo. Minato and Raikage+Bee, Kakuzu + second hokage, etc etc. Its like Kishi just has a big ol' bag of character names he draws from whenever theres a flashback; "and in his youth, Gai faced off with…the seven swordsmen of the mist!"
It really shrinks his world when everyone has random encounters with everyone else in the woods.

Soooo… I've been thinking about Bleach lately, and one of critisism I saw for it.
Namely that Soul Society is not a paradise.
Here is my question: Why should it be? I'm curious about the answer.
-
It should be a Paradise equivalent of Bleach, since there is Hell. Hollows get sent there if they were bad in life. Even has a skeleton gate.
But never really saw it as a Paradise, with all the shady stuff going on there. It looked like Kubo was going to go deeper with his world building, but he just dropped it and left it unexplained. Even adds more unexplained content with time, like animal clans or shadow realm. And Hell is just forgotten. Too bad, it was a good potential.

Paradise is something you don't have to explain. It's paradise. If Soul Society was some perfect place except for the hollows, that's one thing. But making it some hellhole (which isn't even the actual hellhole, mind you) means that you've got to focus on it. How did it get that way? Why is Soul Society so rigid and incompetent? Most importantly, why aren't our courageous heroes doing anything about it? The plot had problems up through the soul society arc, but after the soul society arc the plot imploded on itself. You can't just create a setup like that and not have it be addressed.

See, the problem I have with it is that is doesn't seem to be placed in any known system of Beliefs
And honestly, citizens of Rukongai are also partialy to blame for their situation.

Yes you can. Afterlife is crap. As simple as that. It's good enough for most mythos, it's good enough for Bleach, me thinks.

A) Rukia promised dying people it was not crap.
B) Outsiders in the form of regular human beings (Ichigo and his friends) never as much as acknowledge that it IS crap, which it certainly is from their perspective.
C) A whole lot of the shinigami, who enforce the shit afterlife, stem from harsh lives in the Rukongai themselves - yet upon achieving positions of power doesn't give two shits about changing the status quo.
Mostly, the problem with SS is that no one ever seems to raise the possibility that the Afterlife could be not crap. Instead, we're just supposed to embrace the shinigami as heroes wholesale, because hey, thats what Ichigo does.

On the other hand, the Rukongai citizens themselfs don't seem to be trying to change situation… so who knows? Maybe they like it this way? It is not ours to judge the taste of people...

Seriously? LOLSo I don't get it. That old Sternritter, was he an actual Sternritter? Or a product of Guremi's imagination? /:
Eiher way, it's annoying how they keep appearing right after another.

-
Yes. Seriously. Why would any one in the goverment care, if there is no movement to improve things from the citizens themselfs?
Yeah, you're right. That's probably why Rukongai is a shithole. Because the citizens themselves like it that way. (That's why some of them try their best to escape from there, then forget about it)

People are so dirt poor that they can't afford sandals, are subject to random hollow attacks, recieve no help whatsoever in relocating their loved ones, and live in feudal-era Japan style squalor while the Government/Law enforcement live in a hugely fortified citadel with all manners of high-tech doodads. "Maybe they like it this way?" SS includes people who died in present day society.

You do know that a government is supposed to govern its citizens, right? And like I said, a sizeable chunk of shinigami stem from the Rukongai slums. Its not like they're oblivious to the shit conditions there. They just don't give a shit. SS has shown no indication whatsoever that Rukongai living standards are a concern.
Inversely, being a shinigami is curiously synonymous with being a Douche in some circles of Rukongai (see: Ganju)

Do not forget spontanous cleansings to preserve "Soul Balance"… also the chance of being kidnapped for inhumane experiments by this despicable crazy scientist guy.

Very nice. And they are not trying to improve that in any way because…? Talking about citizens now.
There are two basic needs in human life: Shelter, and sustenance. They are provided with former, and they don't need the latter.
They literaly have nothing to do but work towards improving their lives. Literaly nothing at all.

Really? And citizens are suppose to just relay on goverment?
With that sort of thinking, we would still have communism in my country.
And Ganju hated Shinigami because they've killed his brother, if I recall.

The "Soul Balance" thing was stupid, but Kurotsuchi was never shown to be experimenting on ordinary citizens.

It's the fault of the oppresed that they are oppresed in the first place? I don't like this line of thought, neither in bleach: makes you think that a bunch of dead nobodies can stand up to commarade old man fire genocide and his 13 jolly friends, nor in the real world.
