Wait, let's not forget part 2 gave us this glorious fight from Shippuden episode 167.
Naruto and Bleach IV- Sexy time
-
-
Could you believe I forgot about Naruto and Bleach last week and only remembered them today?
I guess OP break threw me off and I did go on vacation to Sarajevo for the weekend, but still. This would never have happened a couple of years ago.
Bleach was a fun read at least.
Naruto made me want to pluck my eyes out. All that is left now is for Ramen Guy to take over Kaguya's body and turn out to be "Hamura".
So long Madara, you turned out to be no more than Super Saiyan mode Tobi!–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Speaking of things we liked, apart from some, already mentioned, I liked Second Mizukage Hozuki. Apart from being all relaxed and different from usual guys, his fighting style was really interesting.
It's a shame Kishi didn't spend more time thinking out interesting elemental jutsu, and less time thinking out main character power ups and Rasengan variations.
-
New Naruto chapter is out
-
Sooooooo…how can Sasuke summon a hawk? I thought the IT hypnotized all living creatures.
Other than that, just more stupid showboating while I have no idea what's going on. But apparently Sasuke knows that his and Naruto's Yin and Yang chakra can seal Kaguya, so....yeah, sure.
-
I have no idea what happened near the end of the chapter
-
Mad respect to Kakashi this chapter.
Even when power levels are near planet busting tier my dude still finds the time to be a real ninja.
His situational awareness, quick thinking and instinctive reflexes really shone through at the beginning of this chapter. Very impressive being able to save himself, Sakura and Obito the way he did. He isn't just all talk when he say's he won't allow his comrades to die in front of him.
-
New Bleach chapter
Same ol' Bleach -
Both chapters.
Beyond fucking awful.
Beyond readable.
Uncomprehensible.
A fucking, bloody mess.
Are these fuckers comic professionals? Do they even understand the basics of the medium they're working with?
-
Goddamn Bleach.
More villains attacking other villains for no reason and…is Kubo really about to wipe out the remaining Sternritters?
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Hokages' appearances didn't amount to much more than:
-
What the hell was that, Ichigo? "Oh noes, I didn't mean to actually hit you, its your own fault for trying to block instead of dodging!" You can bet your ass this would never have happened were he fighting a man.
Good to see that the Quincies are consistent about their battle tactics though. Inane as always.
Oh and Naruto…
Sasuke: Kakashi and Sakura being here at all was a fluke! Don't bother with them!
Naruto: I can see your point, Sasuke!
Sakura: Sasuke is right...WILL YOU FUCKING STOP DOING THAT
-
It was KINDA funny when Kishi pointed out the obvious by berating Kakashi and especially Sakura as worthless, but now he's been doing it for three chapters STRAIGHT and it pretty much got old the second time he did it. We get the point! Stop 3-4 pages of this crap. Try using those pages to help make sense of the cluster-muck of the last three pages. What the heck happened there?
-
Seriously… Sasuke and Naruto finally have to kiss each other... With the resulted fusion of yin and yang chakra Kaguya will explode and everyone is save.
Last panel will be Sasuke and Naruto holding hands while everyone else will facepalm
Nothing to talk about Bleach... Shit as always
-
Bleach is out and more fighters appear to job to Ichigo's new power.
*had that chapter been in anime form it MIGHT have taken up 5 minutes of time.You can bet your ass this would never have happened were he fighting a man
vs. ulquiorra in hollow form; I'll let you wound me because I didn't mean to defeat you is pretty much the same thing as firing your new attack at someone and then asking them to … dodge it. So Kubo has no worries about shish kabobing Hinamori but still doesn't want Ichigo fighting women the same way he fights men.
-
"If only they'd have stabbed Obito with that kunai in the first place"
Okay, now he's just mocking us…
-
For fuck sake, Kubo. It's like his changing his fucking mind from chapter to chapter.
It won't be 8 vs 1, since there are Shinigami who are aware of Ichigo's arrival. Plus the black guy dropped from tailing Renji and Bazz-B left Shinji and Hinamori (though I wouldn't be surprised if they were off-paneled).
And now Bach with probably 2 of the strongest SR is moving in. He wants to thank the one who led them to the light? What the fuck!?
Situation is too chaotic to provide a satisfying resolution. In short, more Bleach chaos incoming.
-
Naruto can fly now cause fuck you. Sasuke-kun~~~~nghh is always right. And Kishi can't draw coherent panels to save his life.
-
Another BS powerup for naruto while Sakura looks on without doing anything.
Bleach- NOTHING happens.
-
Yeah, I think I might skip Naruto and Bleach for Summer. Bleach deffinitely. That way I can maybe sit down and read i for about 10 minutes.
-
I just want Naruto to end, so I get to see Kakashis real face after taking of his mask. You know, since he doesn't need to ashamed of his "bloody" sharingan anymore.
Other than that, LOL at Kagyuara using Kaku's needles and Chiriku's thousand-fists-in-your-face technique. You'd think that Kishi at the least had an unique fighting style for her - oh wait, I forgot. She already teleported them inside of a volcano, might as well have her use regular jutsu with the power of HAX chakra tree infusion.I'm done with Bleach for a while. Tired of these 30 seconds "reads". I mean seriously, I spend more time on blowing my nose once than on the regular Bleach chapter.

Haha, I totally forgot about that. This fucking arc is making the Winter War look like a masterpiece of sequential storytelling.
And I guess Cap Quincy and Quincy Fabio are keeping the entirety of the remaining Soul Society occupied? This reminds me of Naruto, where allegedly amassive war is being fought with loads of participants, yet the environment seems absolutely devoid of life, and time stops for anything not on-panel.Marineford may have had some issues, and a non-conclusive fight too many, but that felt like a goddamn war. Bleach is just arrogant people faffing about, having random encounters in an empty town. OOOOOOH, CAN YOU FEEL THE INTENSITY, CAN YOU FEEL THE EMOTIONAL STAKES OF THE CHAOS OF WAR
-
@Daz:
OOOOOOH, CAN YOU FEEL THE INTENSITY, CAN YOU FEEL THE EMOTIONAL STAKES OF THE CHAOS OF WAR
Lol. The only time I felt that was during Komamura's fight. He put everything at stake in order to gain some advantage (even thought the explanation and lore behind his power up was shitty).
Watching Shinigami taking it easy and playing around in the fights now feels almost like an insult to Komamura and everything he had to throw away to beat one of SR.
What your wrote in that sentence above, it seems that Kubo just doesn't have it in him. Not any more, anyway.
-
Its like Kishi isn't even trying to hide the fact that Naruto turned into DBZ anymore. The fights are beyond nonsense now
-
My God, both chapters were particularly awful this week.
Bleach spends half the chapter having bitch sternritter heal herself…only to then be injured again. Then we get to see even more characters that we haven't been given any reason to care about. Then we get the usual "cool-sounding" incomprehensible shit from Bach.
All read in the space of about 20 seconds, easy.
In Naruto we get a nice look at the kind of things being a ninja used to be about ie Kakashi thinking quickly, tactically and saving 3 lives with just a kunai and a length of rope. This was the kind of instantaneous Jonin level maneuver we all looked forward to Naruto eventually being able to perform, in the beginning.
Then we get a look at what Naruto has actually come to be. A power bloated, nonsenical, asspull machine, without a single tactical thought in his goddamn head.
Kaguya or whatever her name is already making Madara look like a great villain. "All Das Chakura es mine!". So deep. So fucking deep.
-
Fro all the praise Kakashi's maneuvre is getting, it actually backfired in like 3 pages. I mean, in a lava pit, with a rope. . .rope gets burnt. Yay. And then it's up to Naruto to (once again) save the day.
So, yeah, even that got "uselessed" to favor more Naruto wanking.
-
True, but it was still pretty impressive to pull it out like that after being the ground instantly being turned into lava or whatever.
Then Naruto can fly because…welll....ach, who am I kidding? I'm not even keeping score anymore.
-
Naruto himself has no clue about how he is pulling all this BS.
-
I like how Kishi was like:"Look at how Kakashi is still awesome and useful even without his Sharingan and Sakura is more useless than ever."
Maybe Kakashi should have held on to Obito and thrown a kunai through Sakura's hand instead. If you think about it, it makes hella more sense, since she has her regeneration mode on anyway.
-
OMG!!! This is the first time I am sooooo disappointed by Naruto!!!!
How can Kishi just write off his characters like that???
That's not what a mangaka does with his characters!!
-
I really hate the trope of bad guys killing off other bad guys just for the heck of it. It always feels like a lazy way to nerf the enemy side and make the bad guys more unlikeable, when in reality it just makes them generic evil characters. The best villains work together and aren't stupidly antagonistic to each other like the Donquixote family and the Phantom troupe.
Well at least the girls weren't killed off by Bazzy B being a knob.
-
Is One Piece back yet?
-
Remember the fight with Pain? That was the right balance of ridiculously OTT powers and ninja stuff. Giant toads, insane gravity powers, doing things like beating a guy in Gamabunta's mouth so the other ones wouldn't see what happened … tactical sage mode use with actual time limits on it. So much fun.
Now random balls, random flying, random arms, random eternal sage mode, random villain.
-
@TLC:
Is One Piece back yet?
Just one more week. Hang in there!
Thankfully, Toriko has been pretty blasted good these days, to compensate for these many calamities.
-
Kaguya or whatever her name is already making Madara look like a great villain. "All Das Chakura es mine!". So deep. So fucking deep.
Two lines. Thats all she had this week. Both essentially amounting to the same thing.
"We must defeat her Naruto, or humanity is doomed!"
Whyyyyyy
How do you know that
What the hell does she even WANT
-
Kaguya wants chakra. All of it. Pretty complex character right there.

This made me legitimately laugh when imagining it.
-
I actually liked this Naruto chapter. If not for the random jutsu attacks and LOL at Naruto being able to fly without realizing it I would have really liked this chapter, so yeah, the ending was pretty weak. Kakashi being able to think on his feet so quickly and Team 7 flashback to the bridge were both good. What about the last 3 pages was so incoherent? I've seen Kishi do some incoherent pages but those pages were actually very easy to follow.
If I REALLY wanted to be nitpicky though take into consideration just how hot lava is and what kind of burns it'd cause, and probably death, just by being close to it.
-
@Daz:
Marineford may have had some issues, and a non-conclusive fight too many, but that felt like a goddamn war.
Back then I hated Marineford because it felt more like a bunch of headless guys running around than a war engulfed in chaos (what, I believe, Oda was trying to convey), but now that I look at the wars in other shonen I think Oda actually did a great job in comparison.
Watching Shinigami taking it easy and playing around in the fights now feels almost like an insult to Komamura and everything he had to throw away to beat one of SR.
To be completely fair, the only Shinigami who are having an easy time are the ones who became über-übers after insane and magical trainings. That is, Zaraki and those who went to the royal dimension.
Those aside, even the Captain are having a terrible time fighting the SR (Shinji apparently got one-shotted a second time in this invasion, Kensei and Rose were trashed, Hitsugaya and Sui-feng got out with a victory that was only a victory in Yhwach eyes since both their enemies were alive and well while them are still unconscious by now), so what Komamura did was still insane even after all we saw. -

Back then I thought this was way too much reliant on powerlevels and one-dimensional villians… Oh, how wrong I was. How very wrong...
-
Man what if Kaguya just wanted to have a coffee and a scone with the gang. Their rage of bloodlust could ruin all of this!
-
Naruto can fly! Seems a little weird that he didn't know about that ability, being that he knew how to do others, but whatever. I'm more upset that I didn't predict it.
So far - Naruto has shown to be more impressive - which only proves that Kishi doesn't know how to split the 6 Sage's power correctly - being that the powers of the Sage are so vague and made up as the series continues.
I mean, by Naruto being able to fly, then Sasuke should be able to use "Limbo" - which I am predicting to come. And possibly some other Rinnegan techniques we saw Pain use. Like Chakra absorption perhaps?
My main prediction: It sounds stupid, but this is Naruto. The Dead Hokage stumble across the two tools of the 6 Path Sage - and release Hamura. Hamura is a temporary corporeal existence and will pass on techniques to someone capable of using them - and that person is Sakura. And then, will Sakura have some usefulness.

Now that you mention it, I remember after that fight thinking "This should be saved for the last fight. There is no way Kishimoto will make a better end than this".
That fight was perfect for the last fight: overpowered but not completely ridiculous, the tension was just perfect, the feeling of danger was there, the final had that feeling that now things are finally ok and it's time to rebuild.I wondered how Kishimoto would manage to make something bigger than that for the last fight without going over the top and ruining it completely. Now I have my answer: he wouldn't.

Team 7 is a complete joke and Sakura is there to embarass herself again and again while thinking only Sasuke when the world might end soon.
-
Oh I just realized that I read Razh's comment as "through Sakura's HEAD". Still funny.

I see this Hamura person mentioned every now and then here. Were they introduced at some point? I really can't remember any of the ancestors being named Hamura. '-'

Hamura: And that's it. Now we need to find someone with the most fine control of chakra and the biggest knowledge of human anatomy. Just someone with those abilities, that would make the best medical ninja around, could be able to use my powers properly!
Hashirama: A person like that, huh?
Hiruzen: Call me whore and fuck my ass, that bastard piece of shit will fit perfectly! ("Great, we have the perfect person!", but it was translated by Mangastream)
Tobirama: … sealsealsealseal EDO TENSEI: ITACHI!

His name was dropped inn the previous chapter. Hamura is Hagoromo's twin brother.

I'm not sure, but I think Kaguya mentioned this Hamura and another person's name that I think it's the Rikudou Sennin.

Naruto was lame.
Bleach: The wasted Pages 3 …hey look somebody lost an arm, who would have thought. Please tell me bach is gonna absorb all the douchebag quincys and be the only one left. I can't stand seeing the generic cardboard characters getting countless chapter long fights with no consequences whatsoever.
Overall verdict: Man do I miss op. And Hunter x Hunter Chapter was way better.
-
Oh Bleach. It looks like people are starting to lose their limbs again.
-
The only good thing here seems to be that kishi finally looks to have run out of options that he can retcon as the main villain after this…...right ?? Surely there is not going to be another villain after Kaguya ??
